Get this too, mostly on expired pages.
When first using BBPress, not long ago – roughly the time of the OP, no issue.
the nonce error started cropping up sometime after the installation of BuddyPress and BBPress, when it happened, you could back out and retrieve the cached text of the post. Regarding the error there is also this solution, would you recommend that?
since then, providers have changed, no change to the error, the cache has also disappeared, so the post cannot be retrieved.
Tried ChromeCacheiew to extract anything from the cache, no dice, is there anything one can do, if not addressing the nonce error, retrieve the last/lost cache?
Thanks

For admin reasons we need to create a bunch of new topics in a particular forum that we’d like NOT to show up on page 1 of bbp-topic-index as they’ll push other topics that people might actually be interested in off the main Forums page. Is there any way of doing this?
I know that quite a few bbpress sites use PM Pro, and I have not seen this as an issue and it doesn’t come up in a search.
I don’t have PM pro, so can’t directly help further.
Given that you have paid for a product which claims to be a bbpress integration product, I would expect support or a refund if it does not work.
Hi Robin.
Thanks for the quick reply.
We have that PMP add-on installed.
I’ve already reached out to PMP support and they’ve said the same thing – to reach out to bbPress support…
I’d suggest you raise this with PM Pro since you paid for the product.
You might (or might not) need this

We’ve run into the following issue on our site.
Whenever a new Free Member registers, they should get a custom role called Free Membership Plan. However, bbPress overrides this somehow and the role they receive is Participant. This happens even if we choose not to have all new members added to the Participant role.
On our site, we use Paid Memberships Pro which manages user levels (who gets access to what content), so in addition to WordPress’ site roles, we have user levels and bbPress’ forum roles.
We have deactivated bbPress and the issue went away. However, we would love to keep using bbPress as our Forum software.
Would anyone be willing to help us out here?
Thanks,
Steve
bbpress just uses WordPress login, so it is that area that needs researching.
WordPress uses login cookies, so if your browser does not have cookies enabled then it would not remember you.
Given that it works on some of your browsers but not others, then it would tend to indicate a browser issue rather than website.

Thanks Mike… We have a Facebook Group that has over 260,000 members and we are hoping to convince as many as possible to instead come over to our blog. I have a team of seven moderators and a community director to keep everyone playing nice. If we can only get a small percentage of our FB members to come over, we will still have thousands on our bbPress forum so I’m hoping it will handle the load of whatever we get
Hello BBpressers 🙂
Left, center and right align show correctly on my moderator account, but like “<p style=”text-align: left;”>vasen</p>” for the forum “participants”.
Same for adding <h1>HEADER</h1> in the text editor, which the Graphic shows correctly, but when a participant sends the message you just see what you have written.
Example https://pokerifoorumi.org/aihe/testi-ketju/#post-1918 and the next post.
How could I approve a bit of basic html, or at the very least get the graphic side to work properly for the participants?

@mike80222 writes a really good response.
bbpress is used on the support site of WordPress itself – ie it is what almost all the themes and plugins have as their support tool, eg
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenberg/
and
https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/
that last one has 23,000 pages of 30 topics so to say wp is not good for forums and that it would clog your server is maybe not accurate.
bbpress is used on 200,000 wordpress sites, including this one.
All plugins and themes have the potential be be unsecure. Indeed as I write this, the Elementor plugin which is installed on almost 9 million sites has a vulnerability which has just been fixed.
If you really want to secure your site then as Mike says, install the Wordfence plugin, it is really worth it. The free version will gets you lots, but if your site is more commercial and not a say a poetry writing forum, then paying $119 for the professional version is well worth it. You get same day protection from issues found by an army of bug hunters.
Hi @rvpodcast,
I’m not a WordPress, bbPress, or security expert — but I’ve been using bbPress for forums on a couple of different sites for almost 5 years now. I’m not aware of any current or recent security issues with bbPress itself. WordPress has had a number of them. I suggest looking at one of the several available “vulnerability” databases WRT this kind of thing. I mostly use Wordfence (and I also use their security plugin on all my WordPress sites).
For what it’s worth, my most active site has about 500 users. So I don’t have any experience with a really high-volume site.
It is definitely important to take some time making this decision, because once you choose your forum software, it’s not going to be easy to switch!
Hope that helps.
Mike
I’ve just spent a lot of time making a great bbPress forum. When I went to ask my WordPress developer for some assistance, he said that bbPress was way too vulnerable to hackers, would clog my server, and that he didn’t want to work on it. He says WP is not good for forums. I do expect the forum to be busy with users but from what I can see, the security and hacker issues seem to be from several years ago. I love the forum I have set up on bbPress but my developer has me spooked. Has bbPress gotten rid of most of those previous issues?
What are you talking about “Admin > SEO > Search Appearance > Content Types (tab) section” – are you talking about Yoast (I find nothing like that) or bbpress (I find nothing like that)..
/Thanks.
Corrected: the photos vanish as soon as I publish the page. However, they are seen in the preview.
And I added the bbpress shortcode, the images, and everything else to a newly created page before doing this. No images when using the bbpress shortcode. Absent the photos bbpress shortcode.

Correction – as soon as I publish the page, the images disappear. But they are visible in preview.
And this was on a new page I created by adding the bbpress shortcode first, then the images and everything else. With bbpress shortcode – no images. Without bbpress shortcode – images.
I run:
Wordpress 6.4.2
bbpress 2.6.9
bbPress WP Tweaks 1.4.4
When I remove the shortcode for the single forum. The images work again.
I setup a clone site and installed bbpress first and did not install AWPCP at all. Now I was getting a 404 error when I clicked edit or move. I tried clicking save on the permalink deal again but no change. For no reason other than to do it, I changed the permalink structure to Post name instead of Custom Structure which was default on my setup. The edit button is now working correctly. No idea if I messed anything else up in the process but everything seems to be working correctly now.
Hello, I use bbpress + body press and I would like icons from their social networks to appear in the user’s profile within the responses.
Hi
When I edit a forum. Set Forum Moderators properity and Click Update button, but bbPress didn’t update forum moderators and didnot show any error. I checked for sure that username (which chosen to set for forum moderators) exist in wordpress user manager. I don’t know why. Pls help me
I tried a new theme and the troubleshooting tool. No joy. I am going to create a clone site from scratch and make sure I install bbpress first and test the edit feature. I’ll install AWPCP second to see if the same issue happens. I’ll post the results once I’m done. Fortunately the site is for testing anyway. I have some users but I know all of them so it won’t be a big deal. I think I installed AWPCP first initially but I don’t remember for sure.
This will let you do them inline, but no drag/drop.
Inline Image Upload for BBPress
Might be worth asking them if they could add that feature to their pro version
Hi. I get a “There has been a critical error on this website.” error message when responding to a topic on the front-end of our website. All was working well until recently, but now responding to topics stopped working…
Not sure if this is related to using WordPress Version 6.4.1?
I have tried disabling plugins, but the issue persists…
I do not use any theme as I use Oxygen Builder which “disables” any WordPress theme and overwrites them. I have not had any update on Oxygen for a while and bbPress was working fine all this time…
Also, finally, I have disabled and re-enabled the plugin and re-saved all the settings, but again, the issue persists…
I am using PHP 8.2. How can I fix this issue?
ok, 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
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
Yes, it’s on bbpress. Example, the user makes a spelling error on the forum and wants to correct it after submitting, the error occurs when clicking edit.
so presumably this is a bbpress post that the user is editing – yes?
