Hi @robin-w

I have only one active plugin – bbPress.
Please see my screencast – https://jam.dev/c/62cd5543-8fc6-43d6-8a9e-eeeac388594a
Try checking the subscription is not from the admin.

Regards.

Hi there

My logo and widget disappear when I go to my forum page. This makes it impossible for my users to head back to my home page from the forum page. In the sidebar where the widget is supposed to be I get this message:
There is no widget. You should add your widgets into Default sidebar area on Appearance => Widgets of your dashboard.

Wordpress version: 6.4.2
bbpress version: 2.6.9

Many thanks

This is great question and answer. Thank you Robin. I’m always impressed by the care and time you give to the WP community! @swiss_cheese, I highly recommend that you give “bbPress Style Pack” a try. It has so much functionality, that it can seem a little overwhelming. But just try a little at a time, until you get the gist.

Hello,

WordPress 6.4.2, bbPress version 2.6.9, metpsy.com

I’d like to allow only paid users through MemberPress to post (and maybe to reply, though I might allow free users to reply). I would like free users to be able to view all topics though.

What is the easiest way to do this?

Very best,

Ally.

Hello,

My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin: plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox has Private Topics and Replies, so user can create private topic, only moderators can read these, and reply, and later can make public. Your request is a bit different, so I may look into implementing that for future versions of the plugin. And, GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has new notifications for keymasters and moderators when new topic or reply is posted.

Regards
Milan

The view user kept on showing the page in a weird format – not within the theme. But bbpress is the one that must be creating the ‘view user’ page – as when I deactivate it says:
colonictraining.com.au/forums/users/colont/

I found a note in the bbp style pack that said that there was a problem with Divi child themes and I followed the instructions – which made it better but did not fix it completely
Now at least the top and bottom menu is showing. but still not within the theme and the footer menu is not complete and also says ‘designed by elegant themes… which should not show

[Robin W]

spectra one is a block theme.

This is one of the new FSE themes, 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

Hi,

My name is André and I’m running into some issues I hope some of you can solve. Good to know is that links to mentioned pages are at the bottom of this post.

The Issues
When I create a bbpress forum, the forum index won’t display on the default page I created ( /forums/ ) but displays a blank page.

The forum index will display on any other different page like this one /forums-2/

When I visit a test forum I get a blank page again.

So I thought I would create a new forum slug in bbpress and page accordingly, named guitar-forums as I was sure no other plugin will have claimed that url. But here the same issues. Nothing works on /guitar-forums/ but the index does show on /guitar-forums-2/

What I’ve done first
I have had previously installed asgaros forum but have removed the plugin and removed the asgaros data tables from the database. I also deleted the old forums page and emptied the trash.

I then did:
switching to default twenty x theme
purged all cache incl server side caching
disabling all other plugins
reset bbpress

Links
Default website forum index link: https://vpbex8y4m8.onrocket.site/forums/
Forum index on a different page: https://vpbex8y4m8.onrocket.site/forums-2/
Forum link: https://vpbex8y4m8.onrocket.site/forums/forum/test-forum/

Other Info
Theme: spectra one
wordpress version 6.4.2
bbpress version 2.6.9

No that error is happening on bbpress.org. Not on my site.

It appears to not be doing it now though.

Weirdly enough, if I try to logout though, that doesn’t work. I stayed logged in forever.

[nitrameon]

Hello everyone,

I use the Divi theme builder with BBPress and Buddypress to create a forum.

I created pages and used shortcodes to customize the visual aspect of my forum.

I’ve created numerous sub-forums (over 100) that are supposed to appear in the main forum. (I have limited the display to 50).

However, when I go to the main forum, the first 50 are displayed, but no pagination allows me to see the other 50! I’ve searched all over the internet but haven’t found any answers.

Thank you for your help.

Nono

[Robin W]

I’ve done a bit more investigation

It looks like this code is only used if you have passwords that are not to the WordPress encryption, which would usually be after you have done an conversion to bbpress from a previous forum.

Is this the case?

Hello,

after we switched ton PHP 8.2 we get the Message:

“There was a critical error on your website. Please check the inbox of your website administrator email address for further instructions.
Learn more about troubleshooting in WordPress.”

WordPress-Version 6.4.2
Aktuelles Plugin: bbPress (Version 2.6.9)

Can someone help me, please.

Wordpress 6.4.2
Theme Bam 1.3.0 (https://wordpress.org/themes/bam/)
bbPress 2.6.9

I copied the default bbpress.css file from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/template/default/css/
and installed it in wp-content/themes/bam/css/bbpress.css

I had to make the css folder as it didn’t exist in the theme. No matter what I do it seems bbPress doesn’t look at that css file.

The only way I could make it work was to add all the css from the bbpress.css file to the theme css file found at wp-content/themes/bam/style.css – which isn’t what I want because it will break on the next theme update. I did notice the theme uses sass so that could be a conflict?

Unsure why this won’t work otherwise.

[meetarnav]

Was this ever resolved. I have the same combination RPB and bbPress. The codes work for Keymaster but not foe Participant. Also, they don’t show pgn and fen as tags in the options on the editor – one has to type them in manually.

[Robin W]

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

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

From the buddypress author I got

‘We’ve built BP Classic for such a case. It’s a BP backwards compatibility Add-on that is restoring the Legacy URL parser. So users can activate it and enjoy current bbPress version with BuddyPress 12.0.0 and they will be safe. ‘

[Robin W]

It is just a deprecation warning – meaning that in some future release of php it will not work. You can safely ignore it.

If you want to get rid of it, then add

bbp style pack

which has an automatic fix for it.

[peq42]

I’m running BBPress on wordpress 6.4.2 and PHP 8.3 and I’ve been getting the following deprecation warning:

PHP Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property BBP_Admin::$forums is deprecated in /home/peq42/www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/forums.php on line 793

if possible, I’d like the devs to look into it

[Robin W]

I have bbpress working fine with 8.2 – what issues have you got?

[Gregg]

I’ve had several issues with bbpress and PHP 8.2. I really hope bbPress updates soon or I’ll have to switch to another forum.

[tonygao]

As I understand, bbpress need to replace function bp_core_get_user_domain to bp_members_get_user_url in file /bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/members.php

[tonygao]

After upgrading buddypress to version 12.0.0 , the follow notice appear in debug.log:

PHP Deprecated: Function bp_core_get_user_domain is deprecated since version 12.0.0! Use bp_members_get_user_url() instead. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 6031

Please double check the file: /bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/members.php

thanks

[Robin W]

Thanks.

Whilst I am not a bbpress author, adding fixes for themes which do not work with bbpress would require adding code for 200,000 bbpress users of whom only very small proportion use Hello Elementor, and then supporting this against any changes that Elementor do. There are other themes that also don’t work with bbpress and doing this for all these could add a mountain of work.

But yes, I’m glad to add the link to this thread to help others

Hello Elementor bbPress fix

I will also be adding support for this into my style pack plugin in the new year

I’m using Hello Theme, unfortunately hello theme is not showing forums on my page by using forums index shortcode.
When I switch to Astra theme or Nova themes, forum index displays properly.

(I might be changing themes temporarily so forums might display if im on other themes but https://forextradingcommunity.com/forums/ is my forums link on my site.)

I have contacted Hello Theme Support and they have responded as below:
“I will have this raised but we suggest you report this issue to the plugin authors so they can check and they can open an issue on our Github account, so our developers and the plugin author can communicate”

How can we resolve it?
