Thanks for that info. I didn’t realize there was a 2.6.13 in the works. It says on the download page that 2.7.0 is “what we run here at bbPress.org” — is that still true, or would it be 2.6.13?
I’m really glad to hear that you’ll be having more time for bbPress! (And I’m sure I’m not the only one.)
Can you provide any insight into the status of 2.7.0 Alpha? I’m assuming that, if I knew how, I could at least query Trac to find out which bugs are attached (if that’s the right term) to that release, and so on
There are a few ways, but I usually use the Roadmap.
See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap
You’ll see the various releases as headings there, and you can click around to get the various ticket reports.
It’s all pretty fluid though. For example, the 2.6.12 release wasn’t really planned, so the minor issues got bumped to 2.6.13, and if a new security release needs to happen quickly, they’ll get bumped again, etc…
I appreciate the kind words. I love bbPress, and I do hope to be able to put a lot more time towards it again!
@johnjamesjacoby, It’s really good to know that you still read the forums. Robin is great, but he doesn’t do releases. I assume we’re depending on you for that. Can you provide any insight into the status of 2.7.0 Alpha? I’m assuming that, if I knew how, I could at least query Trac to find out which bugs are attached (if that’s the right term) to that release, and so on. But I just don’t know how to make those queries. Any info (or help on how to get it) would be appreciated!
And thanks so much for the all the work that you do on bbPress! I for one am glad that bbPress is stable. The last thing I want is a bunch of new features. But updates when things are deprecated by WP (or BuddyPress) are *very much* appreciated.
There is a pull request (on GitHub) to bring support for this into bbPress, and I hope to review it soon!

👋 Hi there!
It’s mostly still me working on bbPress, with bug reports & help here and there from the community which are always helpful and appreciated!
I simply forgot to update the Codex page, so thank you for asking here 😅
The build & release process is still pretty manual, because it includes updates to multiple WordPress pages & such (as you’ve all noticed here).
(I do read the forums almost every day, and think they work best when I stay out of them and the community helps itself & each other – and moderators like @robin-w are obviously especially helpful.)
Yeah, I know. You can actually find it there but you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom and then you still have to click on the Blog link. So you might as well go right to the blog.
What I’m still trying to figure out … If you go here: https://bbpress.org/download/
Then it shows a 2.7.0 Alpha release.
Maybe someone who understands the “process” here better can comment on how you figure out what the expected timeline for that is, and how you search in the Trac database to determine what’s going to be in it. I can’t quite figure that out. I sure wish it would include ticket #3589 which is preventing me from updating PHP 🙂
It’s not clear to me whether the person? People? who actually make the releases watch this forum or not.
Thanks for that.
I guess I was being silly by checking here instead: https://codex.bbpress.org/releases/
In the plugin admin page I had clicked on View Details > Changelog > Check out the releases page.
Cheers

I think it’s here: https://bbpress.org/blog/
Looks like a security issue.
I see an update (V2.6.12) is available for BBpress.
However, there are no release notes for this version.
I’ll be staying on V2.6.11 until I can view the changelog/release notes.
Does this mean that no one using bbPress can export old forum posts with content to a new website anymore?
This must be an issue that many people are experiencing.
The code seem to work just fine, tried both plug-in and hard code to theme. Issue is when active it remove the dashboard items o manage the forum. Even in plug-ins the settings link is missing from the BBPress plug-in.
We currently use the most recent php 8 and WP 6 as of 2025 and buddypress and bbpress.
Unsure of what else it might break so currently have it disable.

Possible Explanation for bbPress replies import issue
It seems we may have found an explanation for the issue with importing replies in BBPress.
From what we now understand, bbPress has changed the way replies are linked to topics. Previously, topics and forums were connected using the post parent meta field, making it easy to import and structure data. However, it appears that replies now reference a different column that contains the topic ID.
The issue arises because the old database contains topic IDs that are unique WordPress-generated values. When importing into the new site, these IDs don’t match because the new site generates different IDs for topics. As a result, replies are unable to connect to their corresponding topics since they are searching for IDs that do not exist in the new database.
- In the old database, the topic IDs are unique WordPress-generated values.
- When importing these into the new site, the IDs don’t match because the new site generates different IDs for the topics.
- As a result, the replies don’t know where to connect since they are searching for IDs that do not exist in the new database.
This change in how replies are structured seems to be the root cause of the problem. If anyone has encountered this before or has suggestions for handling ID mapping efficiently, feel free to share your insights.
Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed that when using the rich editor in bbPress, there is no clear connection between the label and the text field. This means that screen reader users may not know which field they are typing in or hear what they have entered.
With accessibility becoming increasingly important, especially with the WCAG Act coming into effect, I was wondering how others feel about this. Should bbPress improve the way the rich editor interacts with assistive technologies?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Have you encountered similar issues, and do you think this is something that should be addressed in future updates?
Looking forward to the discussion!
Thanks!
after hours I get this code that works so fine!!
function bbpress_comentarios_ajax() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#bbp_reply_submit').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // Impede o recarregamento normal
var form = $(this).closest('form');
var formData = form.serialize();
$.post(form.attr('action'), formData, function(response) {
// Recarrega só a área dos comentários
$('.bbp-replies').load(window.location.href + ' .bbp-replies > *');
form[0].reset(); // Limpa o campo de resposta
});
});
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'bbpress_comentarios_ajax');
enjoy 🙂
thanks for all that – I’ll take a good look when I get back
as a by the by, they might ask you to change the title – they made me change one I inherited which started with ‘bbpress’ they said made it look like it was owned and written by bbpress whose name is owned by WordPress. There as plenty of plugins that do this already and haven’t been asked so you may get away with it, but I had to change it from ‘bbPress Topics for Posts’ to ‘Post Comments as bbPress Topics’
Hi @robin-w,
Feel free to study the code at https://github.com/webmandesign/bbp-block-theme
Thank you for your fix via your bbp style pack plugin. As far as I understand, your plugin also provides means to style bbPress plugin. In my plugin this is not an option – it really just enables bbPress for block themes.
For how the plugin actually works check the info in readme.txt file.
Just in case anyone is looking for a solution, I’ve just released a plugin fixing the bbPress display in block themes.
The plugin needs to undergo a WordPress plugins repository review, which queue times are long currently, before being available at WordPress plugin repository. So, meanwhile you can download bbPress for Block Themes plugin at GitHub.

pretty sure that it is LearnPress – bbPress Integration
We have submitted a change required to Learndash.
If you are into code the fix is in learndash-bbpress\includes\class-dependency-check.php line 119 – the line needs changing from
$plugin_header = get_plugin_data( trailingslashit( str_replace( '\\', '/', WP_PLUGIN_DIR ) ) . $plugin_key );
to
$plugin_header = get_plugin_data( trailingslashit( str_replace( '\\', '/', WP_PLUGIN_DIR ) ) . $plugin_key, false, false );
This then prevents translations being loaded at that point (too early) and hopefully fixes the issue.
As the text says :
Some themes or plugins also add a login page that users use to login, in this case select “bbPress Login or login using a specific page” and put the full url in below. Whether this works will depend on the theme or plugin being used, so I cannot guarantee that this will work
and looks like yours doesn’t – sorry only so much i can do 🙂
Done that but it still goes to a 404 error page. I am using a specific log in page not WP nor bbPress. The link in the email sent goes to a “test_content” page.
I am working on https://www.dallasgemandmineral.org/
wordpress version 6.7.1
bbpress 2.6.11
I do have Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection v 5.3.5
I am a newbe and lost
I have some forums, and Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection is correctly marking things as spam.
I am getting spammed, and anti spam is catching them.
I want to set u the forum so only registered users can post but anyone can reply.
I found one setting that limits posts and replies to registered users,
the situation is this:
Anouther rock club donated equipent, on the condition that if we sell it their members are able to bid. I set up a forum to sell things, by posting a reply to an item for sale.
I had to remove the setting that only registered users can post and reply, because to register you have to be a member of our club.
So is there a way to limit new topics to registered users (to cut out the spam) but allow anyone to reply?
