When a regular user writes a post and uses links like https://bbpress.org with the editor, the post is not saved and published. As an admin I can use links like before I installed the 2.6 Beta 2.
My work-around: Deavtivated the editor in the settings of bbPress (“_bbp_use_wp_editor”).
It works, when ones uses HTML without the editor. So it seems to be an an issue of the editor.
Hello,
I think I have a problem with the reply count.
It shows only 2 replies but there are more inside the topic.
Here is the link to the topic:

Do you know how to solve this problem?
I´m using:
Wordpress Version 4.7.5
bbPress Version 2.6-alpha
Theme: X Theme by Themeco
Here is my forum page: http://www.whiskytasters.de/forum/
Thank you very much for your help!
Kind regards,
Alex
This is fixed for the upcoming bbPress 2, you can download bbPress 2.6 beta 2 and help us test it, bbPress 2.6 will be released really soon so it’s stable and we’re using it right here on bbpress.org and wordpres.org/support now 🙂

Oops… forgot to change my a:2 to a:1 after removing the bbpress capability. So now, when I remove s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1; from my wp_capabilities and properly set my administrator serial.
Then…
I go to the dashboard and click “plugins” to view the bbpress plugin. Before I take another action, I view my database to find s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1; added back to my wp_capabilities field.
Still stumbling around on this…
I looked into my user meta under wp_capabilities and found the bbpress access rights. s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;
When I delete this from my wp_capabilities I lose all access to the dashboard and administrator functions. I put it back into database and functions return to normal.
Still digging…
Sorry for my English!
I’m trying to migrate PHPBB 3.1.10 to BBPress, but to no avail. Always the same mistake. I would like your help if possible.
Erro no banco de dados do WordPress: [Table ‘falco785_phpb1.phpbb_user’ doesn’t exist]

Thank you,

It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
ok, not sure I can help further – think it is a wordpress/database issue.
Last 2 throws of the dice
1. is debug switched on, and if not turn it on to see what errors are appearing. if you need instructions for that – come back
2. try changing theme to a default one like twentyseventeen, then deactivate and see if that does anything. if that works you could switch back to your normal theme once bbpress is gone.
One of the first things I attempted. Renaming does the same as “deactivating” the plugin. There are no other bbPress related plugins.
It is acting like a script issue where the Admin functions aren’t finding the proper variables. But I’m not a pro coder… just a logic guy.
ok, suspect that the database has an issue
two thoughts
1.do you have other plugins that are bbpress related? If so deactivate these first
2. Use FPT and go into
wp-content/plugins and rename the bbpress directory to something such as bbpressold
wordpress should then recognise it as gone.
Hi,
I install bbPress 2.5 and i didnt have the “tree” in the forum when i navigate.
A friend of me have test with wamp and do the same installation like me and have the tree link when he navigate into his forum.

Sorry for my bad english i’m french.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Cannot deactivate – same issue. Must leave activated to keep access to my WP-Admin. As long as I stay in the WP dashboard, I can work with it. If I leave the WP-Admin – I cannot access the WP dashboard.
I was locked out – then discovered if I used the Admin bar to view “comments”, it would load the dashboard w/o the “dashboard link”. Then re-activated the bbPress plugin (as it was the last known action before losing dashboard access). When I reactivated – the wp-dashboard was back to normal with full functions.
Sounds like you’ve put some good thought into it @mapofemergence and I hope to contribute on the front end side with suggestions and reports on how I’m able to get it to work, if you’d like some input/help.
I hope to start on my bbPress mobile app in the next week or two.
Hey there,
Search Console reports some errors on some topics URL. I fetched as Google and see they are in fact redirected, not 500 error. The problem:
– Sitemap indexes URLs with end slash;
– BBpress keeps redirecting to the no slash version;
No idea why is doing this. There is a setting?
Hi @TKServer, I’m glad you revamped this topic.
Although since my last post I didn’t work further on the code, I’m still very much interested in the discussion.
Originally, I was going in the same direction that you just suggested but, ultimately, I thought that a separate API would be desirable for a variety of reasons.
I can name the ones I thought of, but I’m sure others might have even stronger (and more educated) motivations:
- the most general and obvious: a separate API makes you less dependant on certain builtin constraints of WP API and let you take design decision which are more tightly connected with bbPress specifically; even though bbPress leverages WP’s custom post types and tags, there’s a higher layer of abtraction (read: forum functionality) which implies a whole set of requests for which the existing endpoints’ structure is not ideal
- depending on what info you want to get with a single request, the default WP API queries might not serve the scope well (ie. they could force the user to make multiple queries where just one would be desirable and sufficient; also, where multiple database calls are required, it might not provide those in the best performing way)
- from a user standpoint, I believe it is better to offer schemas (and filters) which reflect more the semantics of a forum, than the ones of a blog; I believe you can still build those custom terms in the existing API, but it might become confusing soon, and in my opinion you’d loose the advantage of staying with a single API, anyway
- additionally (and actually the main reason for me personally), I see bbPress as part of an ecosystem, with WP and BuddyPress. Since BuddyPress already went for a separate API, I thought it would make sense to do the same with bbPress, keeping things clean and separate. Utlimately, the ideal would be to have the bbPress API live with the bbPress plugin itself, so that the development of the two can progress together (and therefore be more efficient and optimised, both ways)
- finally, speaking of bbPress BuddyPress, there’s an area where the two plugins overlap (bb forums in BP groups); I believe it is already a non-trivial problem to solve in a separate API and it would likely be even more complicated to try and stay within the WP limits; I was mentioning this in another post too, which I believe is still awaiting approval from moderators (please pardon me if I dare poking them here, once more) 🙂
Again, this is just my opinion; there are probably pros and cons in both options and I’d be more than happy to hear from anyone who’s more bbPress-savvy than I am.
Cheers,
s t e
When I uninstall bbPress, the Dashboard link disappears and Administrator rights to access the WP dashboard is denied.
I have disabled all plugins and switched to standard WP theme, only running bbPress. Still a problem. Checked all roles. I cannot remove the plugin without this problem. bbPress version 2.5.12-6148
Am I the only one baffled by this?
I’m happy to have found this discussion. Shortly after making an iOS/Android app out of one of my WP blogs I will embark on making a mobile app for my bbPress based forum at UteHub.com. So naturally I started google bbPress API.
I have yet to look at what’s returned by the bbP api plugins in this thread, but why not just use a custom post type function to add to the WP api? Is there something coming from these bbP api’s not in there?
I will be developing my bbPress app in Angular JS 1.x. I’m sure I’ll be participating more as I get into the project.
Thank u for posting, sure i am updating my solution,
I have used one hook to customize the topic pagination link. I was the issue with the total number of topic count as per my requirement.
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_pagination( $args ) {
$topic_per_page = bbp_get_topics_per_page();
$ttt = bbp_get_forum_id();
$total_topic = custom_forum_topic_count($ttt); //get your topic count as your requirement[This is my own function]
$total = ( $topic_per_page === $total_topic ) ? 1 : ceil( (int) $total_topic / (int) $topic_per_page );
$args[‘total’] = $total;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_topic_pagination’, ‘ntwb_bbpress_custom_pagination’ );
@robin-w i wasn’t referring to you. I assumed you couldn’t help further, so i was putting it there for any other person who payed less attention. I was actually referring to the whole open source community. But it’s OK.
I believe this will improve bbpress, if i had the skills i would have made it available as an appreciation to the people that developed bbpress it’s self. Maybe one day i will still find a way.
I use anonymous posting for all visitors. Only the admins and moderators need to log in. As far as bbPress is concerned, an anonymous user is identified solely by a “name” and an email address. Once that combination is used, any time they visit again, they will be identified. If they change it to anything else, they are not recognized. It actually works quite well. However I have found that users who do a lot of social media get so confused about this and try to log in all the time, locking them out of the site after so many tries. I finally had to put up a pop up on the forum page that reminds them that they may post anonymously, only a name and email is required in the Create New Topic or Make New Reply.
However, this won’t work for a hidden forum that is accessible to only logged in users. I have several forums besides the public anonymous forum and those forums are for logged in users only. One is for the moderators and another is for users who have special needs for privacy and I make them a username and and password, which I email them.
You can set this under Settings>Forum. Look for this line and check it to set your forum to allow anonymous posting:
Anonymous posting: Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies
Make sure you have Akismet plugin installed and activated. I also run WordFence for extra coverage. Between the two, I never have any problems with anon posting. I’ve been using this like this for 7 years.
If you want your normally logged in users to be able to post anonymously to a public forum, you could have them use a different name and email combination, making sure the anonymous posting setting is set under Forum Settings. I have myself set as keymaster with one combination and I use another name and email so I can post anonymously for testing purposes.

Good afternoon,
I’ve developed a plugin that will programmatically create topics in BBPress from a form (external to BBPress). I’m using bbp_insert_topic and it is working quite good.
But I’ve noticed that if a user has subscribed to the forum, he will not receive the email notification when the new topic is programmatically created (but will if a new topic is manually created). Is there any extra step to perform in order to trigger notifications?
Thanks,
Hey there, I am relatively new to bbpress – what I am trying to achieve is that people can tag each other in forum topics and replys. I can @mention someone alright but its not showing me the list of users from a dropdown when I enter “@”. This may be a bit unspecific, but I am using the latest WP, BBPress and BuddyPress. Theme is GeneratePress. Its not working either in TinyMCE nor Texteditor.
Heya!
I have a few questions about bbpress, i’m new to it and would like to learn a thing or two aswell!
– Currently when in a Forum, you have this gigantic “Create new topic” box at the bottom of the page. Can i remove this and instead create a button that (on another page) displays the create new topic customizer?
– Currently the message edit is quite basic, you can put your text in italics, bold and other stuff. Is there an option to also enable underlining, font size, font group and text color?
– Finally, i find that bbPress is quite slow, whenever i post something i first need to empty the website cache before it shows up (pressing submit refreshes the page but then it doesn’t show the post created). Is there a way to fix this?
Kind regards!

No it didn’t work.
