I’m trying to develop a ratings plugin for bbpress, but the ratings will only show up for the replies, not the topics. Is there a special hook I need to use?
that is because Kadence does it’s own
you can take out kadence breadcrumbs using
.kadence-breadcrumbs {
display: none !important;
}
or the bbpress breadcrumbs using
#bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb {
display: none !important;
}
Choice is yours !!
ok, so you are using then Kadence theme, which as my text says has extensive bbpress modifications, so yes the fixes I have suggested and the plugin you have written may well not work.
I can only suggest you contact Kadence support for further help
Hello again, Robin, thank for your reply
I am sorry to tell you that it doesn’t work. I am using Kadence Thema. This message appears:
Theme Support
You are using the Kadence theme (or a child theme of this theme)
This theme has extensive modifications for bbpress, and not all the features of the bbp style pack
plugin may work with this theme.
Some bbpress styling can be done through the theme in dashboard>appearance>customise>bbpress
If you find that the styling features in this plugin do not work, then try enabling the fix below.
If you find other things not working, then please advise us via bbp Style Pack support
We cannot guarantee to fix every issue with this theme, but we will take a look.

there is a button: “save”. I have not pushed it
Thanks again
#bbpress-forums {
width: 85% !important;
margin: 0 auto !important;
}
it could be one of a few dozen reasons 🙂
At the moment your site is downloading 2 x bbpress.min.css to the browser together with one bbpress.css, so without soending a lot if time, it is hard to see what changes are in which.
Can you take out/deactivate your additional plugin and the custom css and then install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Custom CSS
and put the
#bbpress-forums {
width: 85% !important;
margin: 0 auto !important;
}
in there.
It it does not work, LEAVE that change active, and I may be able to see through the browser what is happening in the background
Hello, Robin, thank for your reply
I am sorry to tell you that it doesn’t work
I have done two things:
1)I have put your code in the custom CSS
2)I have done a plugin. I have copied the CSS file of bbPress iinto this plugin and, afterwards, have modified the next rows:
#bbpress-forums {
/*
background: transparent;
clear: both;
*/
background-color: yellow;
width: 85% !important;
margin: 0 auto !important;
/*
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
overflow: hidden;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 18px;
*/
Please, tell what I am doing wrong
reply threading means that you can reply to a reply and it will show against that reply, it lets a thread go in many directions – personally I hate it and would not use it.
‘Voices’ means the number of different people who have contributed to a thread.
As to your original question, I cannot replicate the issue, so I can only suggest you try the standard fault finding viz:
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

shortcode on my Forum page:
[bbp-single-forum id=846]

Forum page R.E.D. “Crew Lounge”
I would like to remove the “POST COMMENT” section on my Forum page (R.E.D. “Crew Lounge”).
In my Settings/Discussions page, I made sure that ALL of the boxes there are unchecked.
Is there a way to remove the “POST COMMENT”? section?
TIA

Is it possible to remove the “MARK ALL TOPICS AS READ” button?
TIA
All replies on one page
I know that the replies threading can not be checked if you want the replies pagination work.
When I click on a post, I want it to display only seven replies per page, but no matter how I set it, it shows all replies on the same page.

Sorry but I do not confirm my issue still happens with Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen, I think it is no matter.

shortcodes on my Forum page:
[bbp-topic-index]
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=846]

My site has only one forum (id=846), but when I add the shortcode
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=846], the dropdown for Forum: still defaults to –No forum –.
I researched this and found that the shortcode
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=846] is supposed to fix this, but it is not working for me.
TIA
Put this in the custom css/additional css part of your theme
#bbpress-forums {
width: 85% !important;
margin: 0 auto !important;
}
you can amend the 85% to get the width you want
I have installed the bbPress plugin. Everything appears on the screen correctly, except this screen:

Would you be so kind as to tell me how I can make the rows look closer together? I have tried everything that I know.

Hello everyone,
I’m currently setting up a forum on my WordPress site using the bbPress plugin. While the basic setup was straightforward, I’m now looking to customize the forum’s layout and enhance its functionality to better suit the needs of my community. Specifically, I’m interested in adjusting the forum layout to match my site’s theme, implementing user-friendly navigation menus, and adding features like user badges or ranks. I’ve come across various tutorials, but I’m seeking comprehensive resources or guides that delve into these customization aspects in more detail. Additionally, if any engineering-focused projects or examples demonstrate advanced bbPress customizations, I’d love to explore them. Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated!

bbpress ends subscriptions to noreply@mysite.com with a bcc to the subscribers.
A lot of email systems don’t like this, as that email address does not actually exist and/or the bcc’s make it look like spam.
so 2 things you could do
1. amend the sending from address to one that exists usiing
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails and amend the email address
2. use
AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions
which whilst old, still works as far as I know
Hey @robin-w,
It is indeed a new site, a new problem and has never worked.
Think its worth mentioning that I am pretty experienced, but never used bbpress so I thought i’d reach out here.

I’ve downloaded the ‘bb-topic-deleter’ plugin.
When I try to upload it in WordPress plugins, all the files are grayed out, and I’m unable to select any of them for upload.
I would really like to use this plugin. Any suggestions?
TIA
Hi all,
I am having some troubles with the e-mail notifications that bbpress can send to subscribers. I use the WP Mail SMTP pro plugin to send e-mails from the website.
WP Mail SMTP pro perfectly handles wordpress native e-mails, such as the account activation links for new users, password reset links etc.
It does not appear to send the bbpress messages through this SMTP method. Nothing to see in the logs also.
Does anyone has had a similair problem? Is there a setting for this? Or does a custom function fix this issue?
Thank you in advance!
I just installed bb press and installed bbPress WP Tweaks. I am trying to add login and register and lost password however the sidebar does not show. I am using the latest version of WordPress. What other option do I have to allow users to register, etc.
Can bbPress run without registration and login? I’m running a super simple website and don’t want to bother my users with registration, logins, etc. I’m not worried about spam. I’ve only got one forum, where I want my users to interact with each other with their posts and replies within that one forum. I’m looking for a simple post and reply forum.
So, Can bbPress run without registration and login? And if so, what do I need to do?
TIA
Hello.
I have a WordPress site with a configured BBPress Forum and a WPMAIL SMTP plugin.
I recently started receiving 2 mistakes that appear at the same time on the WPMAIL SMTP event log.
On WPMAIL SMTP I tested the sending of emails, and the site is sending email normally.
What may be causing these EVENTS?
See topic on WPMAIL SMTP FORUM:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-related-log-events/
bbpress uses custom post types, so uses their status in the posts table (not post meta) to determine whether to display.
So on trashing a topic, I would expect the post_status on the posts table to be changed to trash.
To enable you to ‘untrash’ a topic (say if it was a mistake) in tbe post_meta table, I would then expect to see
_bbp_pre_trashed_replies a:4:{i:0;i:33965;i:1;i:33963;i:2;i:33959;i:3;i:33956;}
_wp_trash_meta_status publish
_wp_trash_meta_time 1748443956
The trash status being the status BEFORE it was trashed, so that it can go back to this if you made a mistake.
I am not sure what the other statuses are doing there, if you have been trashing and untrashing, other stuff might happen, and other bbpress plugins might be adding things.
I’d suggest you try creating a test topic and then trashing it, and seeing what happens, so that you can see a ‘clean’ set of entries.
If you still have problems, then it could be a theme or plugin issue, so I’d try creating and trashing a topic with the below happening.
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
sorry, this is not a plugin written by bbpress. I’m not quite sure which plugin this refers to.
you could try

or
GD bbPress Attachments
