Ive recently installed bbpress to a wordpress website and behind the forum there is a white box, i have eddited bbpress.css and the box is still there, any ideas on how to remove it?

[arnoldmatt]

Running into conflicts with new versions can be a pain. Have you tried checking the bbPress forums for similar issues with the new version and BuddyPress? There might be a workaround.

Hello,
I would like to set up a page for my members who can publish their annoucements,
Can I creat this page in using BBPress ? and how I will do it ?
thank you very much !

[arnoldmatt]

I feel you on the 700 clients! Hopefully a bbPress update is coming soon to address compatibility. In the meantime, BP Classic might be a temporary solution for some.

[priyam1234]

In the new version, I am encountering a major issue where all AJAX functionality, as well as BuddyPress and other plugins, are not working properly.

I have checked every scenario, including using the default WordPress theme, and consistently face issues due to the new version of bbPress.

I kindly request you to resolve this issue as soon as possible, as my client has raised a refund request because of this problem.

@houd, thanks for your help.

I tried your code but the ‘span’ tag does not work as expected.
Strangely, I think the code itself is correct because ‘strong’ tag (bold text) does work when I added it in the code for testing purpose. Like this:

function wp_bbpress_allow_tags(){
    return array(
        'span'=> array(
            'class'     => true,
            'style'     => true,
        ),
        'strong'     => array(),
    );
}
add_filter('bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'wp_bbpress_allow_tags');

Don’t know what go wrong.

[arnoldmatt]

Whew, that’s a lot to catch up on! Thanks for the info, Milan. Updating bbPress now.

Hello, the general forum stays on the left and with a reduced size. I would like to center the entire forum box on the page and make it wider. Is this possible? I have seen in several forums that it is.

For example, this one:
https://www.forodecampistas.com/viewforum.php?f=14

Mine looks like this, but aligned to the left and without the box, directly with the reduced width:

You need to pick the allowed html tags that the users can use in your “functions.php”, like so:

function wp_bbpress_allow_tags(){
    return array(
        'span'=> array(
            'class'     => true,
            'style'     => true,
        ),
	// add other tags to allow here
    );
}
add_filter('bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'wp_bbpress_allow_tags');

Keep in mind the tags you pick here are the only tags that will be allowed, so list all of them here.

Hello ,
I hope I can explain clearly what I want.
The topic title from the last post should be displayed

As can be seen in the following picture:

this picture is from my Woltlab forum. I specifically mean what I marked yellow!
I would like to have the same thing in the bbPress forum!
At the point I marked in the following picture.

So the name of the last topic is displayed above the date and time.
What should the code look like here?

I hope you can help me .

ok, you are doing stuff with combinations of old versions of software – I can only help with current.

Wordpress 6.x dramatically changed how WordPress works, and Twenty Twenty-Two is one of the new FSE themes.

So on WordPress 6.5.5 with Twenty Twenty-Two you will need the fix mentioned above. BBpress 2.6.11 is the current version of bbpress and should also be used.

Regards

Robin

Hello Robin,

I am using the default Twenty Twenty-Two Version: 1.2 theme provided by WordPress in version WP 6.0.9, without any customizations.

Does that too need the above fix you mentioned?.

Also I have earlier version of BBpress i.e 2.6.9 working fine with WordPress 5.8 installed on one of a server, which works absolutely fine without any such issues.

Any way to debug the possible cause ?. Cause no errors in apache logs as well.

[Robin W]

I suspect you are using an FSE theme, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

Hello ,

I was in the process of checking BBpress 2.6.11 . I installed WP 6.0.9 on Centos 7 with Apache 2.2, MYSQL 5.5, PHP 5.6.40. Added BBpress from plugins menu .

However, after creating a forum or post topic , when I try to view the same , the URL that goes to http://{{URL}}/{{TO}}/{{WP}}/forums/forum/{{forum-name}}/ is blank and no content is shown.

Also enabled debugging in wp-config.php i.e define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );, however, no error is being thrown.

I checked with the latest 6.5.5 version as well on PHP 7.4, MYSQL 5.7 but this doesn’t work.

What could be causing the issue?. Could you please replicate this at your end?.

[John James Jacoby]

No apology necessary!

I think it’s good to post this here, in case it’s related to the most recent bbPress release.

There was a change related to Roles triggering PHP errors with certain plugins active, so it’s plausible that fix broke something else.

Which plugin were you using to make your new roles?

Hello everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. I wanted to bring up an issue I’m encountering with our forum roles not displaying correctly for custom roles since making a recent change. Here are the details:

Issue:

Our custom forum roles were displaying correctly a few hours ago (e.g., instead of “Keymaster,” we had “Staff/Admin”). However, after disabling forum topic tags, the custom forum roles are no longer showing up. Instead, the default roles like “Keymaster” are being displayed.

Steps Taken:

Disabled forum topic tags in the settings.
Observed that the custom forum roles stopped displaying and reverted to default roles.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or have any suggestions on how to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

[Dave Lozier]

2.6.10 made all non bbpress pages 404, including our home page. 2.6.11 fixed this.

[John James Jacoby]

Blog post for 2.6.11 is up!

bbPress 2.6.11 is out!

[John James Jacoby]

If anyone out there needs to quickly do an emergency fix to their live site before updating to 2.6.11, here are the changed lines of code between 2.6.10 and 2.6.11:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7272

I’m not advocating for hacking on weird files on live sites, but I understand everyone’s situations are different, and thought maybe this could be helpful to see.

[John James Jacoby]

Apologies to everyone who was quick to install 2.6.10 and had a scare.

It has been a few years; I’m out of practice and botched it.

I backported the 2.6.11 fix to the 2.6.10 tag, so in the unlikely event anyone still downloads 2.6.10 it will not be broken like it was.

Go get 2.6.11 from: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress 💚

I have raised a trac ticket for this release which hopefully the authors will look at
