can you try adding

BP Classic

which has a compatibility link between buddypress 12 and bbpress.

Then come back and report

[ahillmortons]

Hi @robin-w,

I’m using an FSE theme with compatibility turned on in bbp style pack, It’s called Lawson by ThemeZee.

I’m using:
WordPress 6.4.2
bbPress 2.6.9
BuddyPress 12.1.1
BuddyPress Multi Network 1.0.3
bbp style pack 5.8.0
Profile Builder 3.10.7
Profile Builder Elite 3.9.9

I’ve replied here with the steps I’ve taken: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3355#comment:23

Many Thanks,

Andy

[ahillmortons]

OK, so it appears there’s a thread about the issue here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3355#comment:4

I can’t get the fix to work but I’ll pick up on what to do next on there.

Thanks

[sourfew]

I used to have the same problem with slow posting. About 20 seconds for a new topic.
Robin w tried to help out and big thanks for all the effort you put in.

I eventually moved away from bbpress/buddypress to buddyboss instead and I don’t have any performance issues anymore.

I run bbpress Version : 2.6.9

Hello! For the past week or so, bbPress has been getting progressively slower at loading topics, especially when they have many replies.

I have my reply limit set to 15 in WP but one of my topics, for example, is showing 89 replies.

[Robin W]

If you are using one of new FSE themes, 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

Hi! Should I use BbPress on my site? I have a bit of concern, on the staging site it’s not working. Seems like it does not work with Gutenberg block themes (not sure about that) and it has not been updated for more than 2 years, which is a lot. Is it abandoned? I’d appreciate your thoughts on this.

Hi Robin. I see this topic is old, but I am receiving the same fatal error on one of our topics. Pasting error from log below.

Any thoughts?

you are using the flexiverse theme.

This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

they are correct that it has not been updated for a couple of years.

I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.

The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.

My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.

bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.

I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.4.x and php 8.2 with no issues.

The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.

However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this

bbp style pack

as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.

All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.

The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.

[loftus49]

My WordFence reported that the bbpress plugin has not been updated in a couple years. Although I have enabled auto updating and I am positive it has been updated during that time.

Before I pursue this with WordFence, is there anything you know that would cause this?

I have a screenshot of the WF error screen if that helps.

Hello,

i am pretty new to bbpress…. but i am searching for some pages to put on my forum.

I would like to be able to have a couple of pages that display:
– topics with unread posts for the logged in user
– subscribed topics for the logged in user
– topics that the user posted in

under the profile i have some little views that have that info, but i want it to be displayed just like the forum is, same table form and such, not in the profile.

is there a way to do that??

I am not a bbpress author, not a lot I can do.

bbpress is a WordPress project – suggest you write to Matt Mullenweg about why no-one is currently assigned to bbpress to keep it up to date.

Hello sir

<h2>Urgent Requirment</h2>

I noticed that your bbpress plugin not comatible with new version of buddypress (12.0.1)

PLease make urgently compatible becuase all users face criticle error becuase many buddypress functions are deperacted in your plugin.

[stonebkfly]

We are implementing bbPress to add private forums to LearnDash courses. We are using the LearnDash bbPress Integration plugin.

When a logged in user views the /forums page or the /topics page they see all forums and topics. (We are using Visibility: Private for forums) even though the user does not have access to the forums or topics due to the LearnDash Integration plugin. I asked LearnDash if they know a way to hide the ones that the user does not have access to. They said that they did not know, and that I should contact bbPress support.

Is there a way that I can programmatically add a per user filter for the following shortcodes: [bbp-forum-index], [bbp-topic-index]? I would like to inject logic that would exclude records based on the currently logged in user.

Any ideas would be appreciated! I may need to write my one shortcode but did not want to reinvent the wheel if I do not need to!

Thank you!
Joseph

Found the issue, and it has nothing to do with bbPress.
For posterity, if anyone is using a theme builder like Elementor or SeedProd that has customizable conditions for where elements are displayed, double-check there to see whether a condition is set that directs all archives posts to the specified page.

If you install the bbpress style pack plugin by Robin W you can set all new members to be automatically subscribed in the subscription management tab of the plugin. There are also settings for how email notifications are handled in the subscription emails tab.

To be honest, I find that the style pack plugin is essential for running bbpress.

Hi all,

Obviously for a bbpress forum to run correctly registration needs to be open and allowed. But how do we stop spammers from registering?

I have a captcha plugin to stop the bots but what on earth can we do with actual people that register in order to spam in new posts they create or in replies… (As has happened here in this bbpress forum today!)

I do have the forum set for admin to approve new posts or replies from new members so spam posts dont get published and then notifications sent to people following the forums or topic…

But how do we stop these nasty people from registering in the first place? I guess its impossible…

[stonebkfly]

We have many Forums and we wish to have different Moderators for specific forums. However, I do not see a way to limit the view so that a Moderator only see the Forums that they are responsible for. Is there a way to do this?

Currently we are setting the Moderator Role on the user record. I have been unable to set the Moderator on the Forum record (when I set it and save I get no error but it does not get saved). If I could set it on the Forum record would this limit the Forums that the Moderator would see?

WordPress Version: 6.4.2
bbPress Version: 2.6.9

Thank you!
Joseph

I forgot to mention. On setting up your forum before creating your app there is one plugin that is essential. (Thankyou Robin!) 🙂

Hi Robin. (and all interested)

Well, the first and main tip is not to lose patience with yourself (as one is not a plugin developer) or the actual plugin developer! They might not answer your email or question within a few minutes but that is because they are busy and you are not the only customer or client! 🙂

Also, the layout and basic (main) setup of the forum should be done on a desktop. Its a lot easier to visualize on a big screen and if it looks ok there it will look fine on a mobile device. I used IrFan View for windows 64 for all the forum image headers and it took a bit of time to get them sized right for both web and mobile display.

The main issues I had was….

A. Theme layout (Choosing the right theme for what you want is essential.) I have Astra which works together with the WPMobile native theme perfectly. Remember that the forum needs to work on desktop, tablet and mobile so web version and app should be as close as possible in layout etc

B. Images not resizing correctly (on mobile devices) that are attached to forum posts. This was fixed by using the plugin Meow Lightbox. before that, any attached images were displayed at full size so very often just a black screen or a white screen. It took me ages to work out that pinching fingers to reduce the image size was needed!!!!

I just have two things to fix now.

1. After registering an account on the app you are redirected to the “website” and not the “app” on your mobile browser to login.

Temporary Solution: Close the browser, open the “app” and log in there.

2. YouTube URL’s sometimes dont embed into a new post or reply. Just the URL is visible and you can’t watch the video inside the forum post.

temporary Solution: Tap the YouTube URL to open the video in a new window at YouTube

(The youtube thing is really annoying and happens in web version, mobile version and has been an ongoing issue since the site creation) 🙂

If anyone wants to look (you dont have to register to download the app or browse the site) its here https://iberianatureforum.com/ If you access the site on a mobile, there should be a notice at the top of the home page prompting the playstore download. Obviously only browsing is allowed if you are not registered.

I haven’t gone for IOS apple yet as the outlay of $99 a year seems a bit expensive as opposed to the $25 one off payment that Google asks for.

Although the forum is free, has no ads is small and suffered hugely from the attack of the big social networks it actually drives a huge amount of money making traffic to my commercial sites, particularly Wildside Holidays. I still dream of the day when people see the light and dump the excessive ad vomit from the likes of X, Fb etc…. I wrote a small comment here: https://iberianatureforum.com/forums/topic/facebook-and-forums-what-do-you-think/ (Some of the comments are really interesting!)

Anyway, If you ask me the only way forward for something like a bbpress forum is to make it mobile friendly with push notifications just like those big boys have. people are more likely to engage with your content when their phone goes ping ping and there is a link directly to the content in the notification no?

I’d love any feedback and comments!
