can this be used in conjunction with eanble bbpress for block editor?
Hi there
I am hoping you can help.
I have otter blocks – block editor theme on a wordpress site and I am using bbpress – I have used “enable bbpress for block themes” plugin which has the forum working fine – I do however need to change the text sizing
I am wondering what the full list of css elements I need to change are ?
Or if there is a better way to improve the way the forum appears ?
Hi Robin,
I couldn’t see dashboard>forums, and the user roles (with none as Keymaster) are limited to Moderator, Participant, Spectator, and Blocked. The user page just says “forum role”, there is no mention of BBpress role.
Does that help?
I can email, or put on googre drive, some screenshots if that may help.
Regards,
Graham.
This is what I ended up using and seems to work well. If others are looking for CSS code that adds a “CLOSED” visual reference to the beginning of TOPICS Titles that have been closed, then try this and tweak to suit if needed.
/* Add a “Closed” label to closed topics in bbPress */
.status-closed .bsp-preview::before {
content: “Closed”;
background-color: #ff0000; /* Red background for visibility */
color: #ffffff; /* White text color */
padding: 2px 6px;
margin-right: 10px;
border-radius: 3px;
font-size: 0.9em;
font-weight: bold;
}
Example;

so we’re back to you needing to close the forum in
dashboard>forums
If you are not seeing this, then can you go to
dashboard>users and look at users, you should see that at least one has ‘keymaster’ as a bbpress role – do you see this?
Hi Robin,
No, it was myself, some 8-years ago, when I added the forum. Since then we’ve added WP page content, images etc, and I’ve just kept it updated. The addition of the single BBpress forum on one page was very simple using the shortcode “bbp-single-forum”, with no other changes that I recall. Eventually I hope to remove all visible log-in possibilities, relying only on c-panel admin access for update/maintenance purposes.
Maybe I’m missing something here, and removal of the site log-in widget will also remove the login option on the forum page. Did you already take a look to see what I mean? Under the “memories shared” tab, you will see further tabs, one of which is Forum, and that is where the other Login/register section is, below the forum topics. It is this part I would like to see removed so that the page is cleaner.
Is that possible?
Thanks in advance,
Graham.
Thank you.
I looked into >appearance>widgets and the bbpress sidebar, but there was nothing added there.
Under dashboard, I didn’t see a selection for “forums”. All I have is on the relevant page the shortcode added “[bbp-single-forum id=58]“.
Does this help understand more about what I have?
Best regards,
Graham.
so depending o your exact setup, so if you go into
dashboard>appearance>widgets you should see an option for a sidebar, in which you will see the bbpress login widget, just remove that.
Then in
dashboard>forums>all forums>edit forum you can close the forums.
I am looking to freeze a website and it’s BBpress forum, so that unregistered (and registered) viewers can see the existing content in the forum, but the login form should not appear (currently seen below the forum content) which currently gives the impression they could log-in to make contributions.
WP version 6.7.2
BBpress v2.6.12
BBpress login register links v3.3.5
Twenty Sixteen Theme

Thank you in anticipation.
Hi,
Is there a css code that would hide/remove my sidebar from all buddypress pages?
I found one that worked to remove the sidebar from bbpress so I was hoping that there would be one that worked for buddypress.
This is the one that works to remove the sidebar from bbpress:
`.bbPress #primary {
display: none;
}

I Think the error is being triggered by bbpress?
ok, not having played with the BBpress for block theme which is what I suspect you are using :
what exactly did you add to the template, can you post before and after code for this please as it will help others
okay I admit it I am stupid.. I found the template for the bbpress and edited on my headers and footers – thank you so much for the help and support
Just thought you might be interested to know I posted the same question on the raft theme support and the response was to use with BBpress for block theme or bbstyle pack plugins and then:
—
Template Customization (Within the Site Editor):
With FSE, you’ll primarily work within the “Site Editor” (Appearance > Editor) to adjust your templates.
After installing the compatibility plugins, you may have new template options available, such as a “bbPress content” template.
Within the site editor you can customize the look and feel of your bbpress pages.
If you enable the block editor for bbpress post types, you can also edit those post types in the site editor.
—
So I look at the style editor and there is no block editor for bbpress post types
Am I missing something obvious here?
Sorry to be so slow on the uptake 🙂
Thanks, I am not a bbpress author, I just try and help out here
Having confirmed that this suggestion works, you might want to try Webmandesign’s solution, which I think might be better on header/footer
so go to this post
When Support Block Theme?
and you can find where to download a plugin.
If you do so, and activate, you’ll need to untick the solution in my plugin.
If his solution is indeed better, please let us know, he is about to release it as an official plugin, and if that all goes ok, I will point my users at his solution.
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
I have installed the plugin – and all appears good in that I have created a page and added the short code – and it the forum shows – however … thats where it all goes wrong clickiing on the forums or trying to paost asn I get blank screens
I hve tried to debug this with gemini ai and it said create a page for each short code – did that – didnt work – then said copy the index.php file and rename it bbpress.php and drop that in the theme directory – did that and.. guess what didnt work either – also added a bbpress template layout in the theme and that too doesnt allow me to engage with the forum – I have gone through permalinks and literlally going round in circles and not getting anywhere amy help oor suggestions would be welcome – thank you
I was trying to use the Latest Activity (style pack) Widget with a specific Forum Id in a sidebar and in a custom widget area. The problem I ran into was that the options to customize the widget in the custom widget area will not open up. I did also try and use the Widget multiple times within the sidebar and ran into the same issue.
My WordPress and bbpress are current, I also have the style pack plugin. My site is built using Divi.
https://iowaminiz.com/membership-forum/
Is there a conflict if the Latest Activity Widget is used more than once and is there a workaround?
Thanks.
I am getting numerous mon fatal errors in my debug log for creation of dynamic properties, eg:
[message] => Creation of dynamic property BBP_Forums_Component::$activity is deprecated
[file] => /****/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/loader.php
what is the time frame for getting this fixed?
