sorry to disagree. This is not a 3rd party plugin issue but a feature from bbpress that should be optional. Or, at least, that admin should be able to not use.
You do not fight spam with manual approve. I got days with over a thousands spams, GL doing it one by one LOL. Spamming is anti-spam business, not forum job (using server anti-spam + CleanTalk, maybe I had to remove one post this whole year. Out of 300k posts).
Today, I had to approve over 350 posts. Some of wich I had no clue why any piece of code could think of it as spam. And that included topics I, as admin, moved from one forum to another.
Whatever, migrating to Discourse is on its way and should be up tomorrow (it is but not public). There’s no way I can use a manually validating forum anymore. Those 5 years with bbpress were fun (in spite of some epic crashes).
Since the problem appears to be with a third party plugin, you’re unlikely to get a lot of support from the bbPress development team here for code that isn’t theirs.
In addition, you have not clearly stated what the actual problem is. You have clearly stated your complaints and how you feel about them, but you haven’t included instructions on how to replicate your problem.
Naturally, these forums are using bbPress, and we aren’t having the same moderation issues that you are. That doesn’t mean there isn’t something wrong, simply that no one knows where to look unless you can show them.
When I click reply to a reply in a topic I am unable to type in the Visual Editor box. I can type into the Text Editor but it will not show in the Visual Editor box.
The forum-beginner-posts plugin was updated a week ago. Since that is the plugin that adds in the visual editor, I’m wondering if that update caused a conflict somewhere, maybe with either the bbpress or buddypress plugins?
WordPress 5.3 running Boss. Child Theme theme.
bbPress Version 2.6.1
https://members.lockeinyoursuccess.com/
I should qualify that our site is not using any third party search plugin with bbPress and yet I’m seeing this issue. I will roll back to bbPress 2.5.14 to see if the issue resolves and report back.
P.s- I am also using two plugins with bbpress,
1-bbstylepack and 2- weaver for bbpress.
But i have been using these plugins for 6 months now and never had this issue before until few days ago.
wordpress 5.3
bbpress 2.6.1
Hello,
I am noticing in the last few days and that is even prior to upgrading to wordpress 5.3 the bbpreply widget which lists the recent replies does not list the replies CLEARLY as it used to.
After the listing there is line now added next to all new replies that says”<span class=”dashicons dashicons-visibility wvrbbp-fav-sub” style=”font-size:80%;vertical-align:middle;”></span>”.
This added line obviously is taking away the clean clear quality of the webpage making it look ugly like a coded page. Please advise. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Hi,
I’m using wordpress version 5.3–pt_PT and BBPress 2.6.1.
When i create a new topic, in a mobile, the text appears only on the right side of the creator identity. That makes that each line is very short and the text is extended in a lot of lines. The text does not occupy the area below. Please see in this link:
Que carro comprar
I would be really grateful for some help to solve this as mobile users are each time more.
Thanks!!
I’ve tried to import my phpBB users using bbPress 2.6.1 and also the above fix from wurkagency and am getting…
3.No passwords to clear
2.No users to import
…during import.
I tried demoting any admin/founders with any content as HammyHavok suggested with the same results.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hello. My site has been working fine with MemberPress and bbPress for over a year. When a user goes to the forums page and are not logged in, they get a message stating they must log in to view the content. Just recently, when I go to the forums page, I get the message “Oh, bother! No forums were found here.” and no login form. Rule is correct in MemberPress, that if a user is not logged in, a login form should appear. When I deactivate bbPress, the form shows correctly. Please help!

Same herr. I had the Moderation plugin on before the newest update. Now I deactivated it but all the topics and replies are still held for moderation. There must be something with the newest bbpress update bc that started happening after the update.
Apparently we’re not the only ones. See Child CSS
I am using GD Power Search for bbPress and I think it is OK. The only thing for me is that some of the items in the list seem to have white text rather than black. Most have black text. If I go to the item in question via the link it shows with black text. So I don’t know why it changes.
Hi guys,
We seem to have an issue when nested/threaded replies are allowed. Instead of having the replies neatly appearing one under another, they seem to be squished all together. Please take a peek at the screenshot in hopes of it better explaining the issue at hand: 
When threaded replies aren’t allowed, everything looks peachy fine (of course!) and the comments just fall neatly in line.
We have heavily modified the CSS so that we could get the visuals as our client requested, however we have only noticed this issue after updating WordPress, the theme and bbPress (we’re not sure which one of the three, if any, could have been the source of the issue at hand).
If anything has any suggestions or if you need any additional info to offer any insight, please let us know!
Thank you in advance. 🙂
I noticed once I got my 2.6.1 working that all the font size is tiny, when I made my theme I used some custom css to re-size the font way before I moved to 2.6.1, I also found this thread
Upgrade to 2.6.1 No Longer Loads Custom CSS
But no replies, did custom css/themes change?
The default font size if for ants.

Hi Guys
I tried updating from 2.5.14 to 2.6.1 and after the update my forum was no longer loading my custom css file that lives in /wp-content/themes/theme_child/css/bbpress.css and the forum lost all my custom styling.
Any idea why it appears to be ignoring that css file now?
Hi,
im building a new WordPress political website using the “Candidate” theme. Also, Im considering adding Buddypress too. What we are trying to figure out is how to add a full forum to a page, listed in the navigation list using this theme. Will we need to have a theme package or some kind of template? I would prefer the page to match the others. Im trying to at least duplicate the forum i have already at http://www.fedupwithliberals.com, which is currently a Simple Machines forum. I have seen Buddypress using the Boss theme, it seems pretty complex, but would make a nice stand-alone site. The link to the ‘Candidate” theme demo is http://velikorodnov.com/dev/candidate/home-v1/ . I would be happy with a nice full-featured forum on that site, but am wondering if i can add buddypress too? Would there be a bbpress template that can be added to the page made for the forum so the page will match the rest of the site?
Thanks,
delta5
Wanted to check my bbPress settings and looked under Settings for Forums but there was no entry for Forums under Settings. This on a pretty generic site (Twenty Sixteen Child) with all updates (including bbPress 2.6.1). I’m running PHP 7.3, and note that the compatibility scanner says compatibility of bbPress with this version of PHP is “unknown.”
I have been running a membership website for almost 2 years on BuddyPress and bbPress with no problems. Should I submit this as a bug?
try this
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header .bbp-reply-author {
display : none ;
}
Thanks again Robin, I know I should put these in my child theme, I just worry that a update will alter the original file and I do not notice it. That sorted out the formatting perfectly.
The change you gave me for the for the mobile replies
@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-author {
display : none ;
}
}
takes out all the author info including in the replies, I just want to remove the author title and release the space so my text can move over.
Regards
Clive
Same here. Also opened a thread in Requests & Feedback (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/any-way-to-remove-moderation/). This moderation thing is just killing me. Got no message from anyone involved in dev team…
ok change
<div class="bbp-reply-content"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic()
? esc_html_e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' )
: esc_html_e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' );
?></div><!-- .bbp-reply-content -->
to
<div class="bbp-reply-content"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic()
? esc_html_e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' )
: _e( ‘<div align=”center” style =”color:#ff0000″>Please check out all the replies below,<br> if you find a post helpful please vote using the arrows</div>’, ‘bbpress’ );
?></div><!-- .bbp-reply-content -->
You should really put this file into a child theme if you have one
so you would do the following
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
then upload the new file to this directory so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-replies.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
In the template.php file it has the following code:
// Get the topic status
switch ( $topic_status ) {
// Spam notice
case bbp_get_spam_status_id() :
$notice_text = esc_html__( 'This topic is marked as spam.', 'bbpress' );
break;
// Trashed notice
case bbp_get_trash_status_id() :
$notice_text = esc_html__( 'This topic is in the trash.', 'bbpress' );
break;
// Pending notice
case bbp_get_pending_status_id() :
$notice_text = esc_html__( 'This topic is pending moderation.', 'bbpress' );
break;
// Standard status
default :
$notice_text = '';
break;
}
As you can see, it has specific notices for feedback to the user.
The above work when it is a “topic” they are creating. What we now need is exactly the same code, but for “replies”. In addition though, this warning needs to be placed just above the empty editor and just after the previous reply.
It is this code that is lacking for replies. So IMHO your comments don’t apply here. It is not about redirection or anything. It is about consistency with informing the user just like it does for a new topic.
I hope this helps you in resolving this issue and thank you so much for your time in looking into this.
The above begins on line 3029:
/**
* Displays topic notices
*
* @since 2.0.0 bbPress (r2744)
*/
function bbp_topic_notices() {
Thank you Robin,
I don’t think I made myself clear about the red wording, what you see now with me still using version 2.5.14. your rewrite of the loop-reply.php changed the line <?php _e( ‘Posts’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?> where I added my words and formatting to esc_html_e( ‘Posts’, ‘bbpress’ ); which is where I cannot get the formatting into.
I am still using 2.5.14 because the subforums are still not showing up, on my home page that is all the counties.
I will change the mobile bits later as I am on my way out for coffee !!
Clive
thanks for letting us know – that is useful feedback
@johnjamesjacoby – I have now seen two cases where clicking save has fixed an issue
This one was by going into dashboard>forums> and just clicking save
In another https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-0-update-breaks-forums-index-only-one-level-displayed/ going into the forum, changing the order to 0 and clicking save fixed – I suspect it was just clicking save that fixed it
