I am working on a new client site and have started integrating bbPress into it, using the DIVI theme. I have created the Forums, Register, Member, Password Reset, and Login pages using shortcodes. I can create topics, threads, and replies. However, if I use the Search function, it displays a blank page. The URL structure of the search results is mydomain/forums/search/searchterm. There is no header or footer. I have no page created for mydomain/forums/search/

Do I need to create a template for this page, and if so, what is the shortcode I would use to display the search results?

The same thing is true for the “Users” page which displays at this URL – mydomain/forums/users/username – but is blank.

I’ve searched for shortcodes or details about this and have come up empty-handed.

It does make sense that it would be related to a recent update…but if the problem persists when everything is disabled and I’m using a default WordPress theme, then how could something else still be affecting it?

There is always a reason, computers don’t start doing things differently for no reason, the problem is tracking that down 🙂 🙂

If this was a bbpress issue then 1. given no update in bbpress there is no change to affect your site so no reason for it to start happening and 2. this support forum would have hundreds of topics on the subject posted in the last few days.

My test forum continues to work fine.

so if not plugin update or theme change then a setting could be affecting.

so I’d suggest you switch debug on and see if that is showing any issues

https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-enable-debugging-in-wordpress/

after that we’re onto software higher up.

so what PHP version are you running?

[Robin W]

bbpress is free software with free support from volunteers like myself.

We’re not really here for fixing individual site problems on income earning sites.

My bet would be that it is an update of a theme or plugin causing part of bbpress to stop ‘showing lead topic’

You should start by looking at what has been updated recently.

[Robin W]

as I said bbpress simply uses WordPress registration, so any wordpress/membership registration will work. Bbpress simply hooks to that registration in the background.

[simon_a6]

It’s as I think we are using a Memberships plugin for it.
But I couldn’t see how to do this via BBPress properly.
I thought it would give me the shortcodes to add to a page, or a guide on how to do it.

bbpress simply uses the wordpress registration and login, so users can register with the wordpress registration

[Josh Virkler]

Thank you so much for your quick reply!

I have tried disabling all plugins except bbpress, and switching to a default WordPress theme. Unfortunately, even in this state, the messages are still not appearing.

What is my next move?

[Robin W]

try

#bbpress-forums p input {
	width: 240px !important;
}

[Robin W]

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

I had been using that one, now I’m switching to the latest version of tinyMCE (https://www.tiny.cloud/get-tiny/) and I’ve been trying to make it do the same (enable HTML for it only).

Hello,

bbPress 2.6.9
WordPress 6.3.1

Screenshot of issue: https://imgur.com/a/DhxatVA

The text box is wider than the mobile screen and it doesn’t look quite right.

Very best,

Ally.

As an Update, I have found some really old information about this issue @netweb here:https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2198

And here: Editor width addressed in CSS at patch https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933 down to 240 resolution. In some smartphones, only the text editor shows up by default.

My Redmi 9C uses a 20:9 aspect ratio screen (resolution is 720×1600).

[Robin W]

try this in the custom css of your theme

.bbpress div#ast-mobile-header.ast-mobile-header-wrap {
	display: none !important;
}

[ibnat]

As an update. Youtube videos embed fine in the block editor when creating a new page or post on the site. The issue seems to be just with BBpress and the create topic/Reply editor which uses TinyMCE?

It would be great to be able to watch embedded videos without having to click out to youtube etc.

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

[ibnat]

I have asked this same question myself over the last few weeks as I am busy making my BBPress forum compatible and converted to a fully funcioning mobile app.

I decided to push ahead because the support forum of wordpress itself is running on the BBpress plugin and there seems to be no signs at all of it being switched to something else (as @robin-w says)

Whilst there are hundreds of plugins that are no longer maintained, the BBpress essential plugins very much are, and support for them is absolutely excellent. ( @amauric and @codejp3 ) 🙂

I believe that the future of niche forum websites like mine are in the mobile app direction with push notifications etc to users through their smart phones. WP and BBpress is lightweight enough to work fantastic on a mobile.

The three authors I mentioned earlier are great examples of why BBpress will carry on for the foreseable future no? Thanks guys for your continued help and support!

Hi all

(This only happens when viewing my BBpress forum on a smartphone.)

When viewing a forum and scrolling down to below the forum topics to the editor, the right hand side of TinyMCE editor is off the screen by a few pixels.

When viewing a topic the TinyMCE editor fits fine on my smartphone screen.

Is the width of TinyMCE adjustable anywhere or is there some CSS I can add to fix this?

WP version 6.3.1
BBPress version 2.6.9

[Robin W]

thanks.

1. This is the bbpress support site, you need to raise this with the buddypress support site

https://buddypress.org/support/

2. bbpress (and buddypress) simply use the wordpress login, so the simplest way is to use a plugin to do redirect such as

LoginWP (Formerly Peter's Login Redirect)

[ditout]

Hi,
Thank you for your reply,
1.it is title, I don’t know how to speak that,
it is an indication of the page, I want to put the Asian name to replace English name:

2.We can use the bbPress to create a sidebar for inscription, login…
I want to know whether I can redirect to a profil page ( Buddypress) after having filled the inscription ?
So that the users will fill their profil, I have a membership page, the users could contact each others.

Thanks a lot.

[ditout]

Hi,
I have 2 questions for the setup,
1. I will setup my site in Asian languages, Japanese and Chinese, can I put the titles in Asian languages on bbPress ? so that the users will understand.
2. I will setup the inscription/login side bar, how can I redirect after inscription to the profil page for my users to fill it ? because I will have a member page for the users to contact each others.
Thank you so much !

[Ricsca2]

@robin-w let’s hope not, without you we are all lost 😀

The one key thing that BBpress lacks by default is image uploading in posta.

[ibnat]

Hello

When I post a link to a You tube video in a forum post there is no embedding. Instead there is a link to the video over at Youtube.

In forum settings I have the box ticked to embed.

An example is here: https://iberianatureforum.com/forums/topic/promo-video-for-25th-anniversary-of-cabaneros-national-park/

Thanks in advance for any help

(I am using latest versions of BBPress and WordPress)

[Robin W]

the title is put in by your theme.

Suggest you try method 2 in this (item 3) :

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[StudentFilmmakers]

I am unsure what happened, but my elementor broke at some point. It stopped showing the edit with elementor, and I can’t find the link on the pages or anywhere to edit with elementor. I removed all plugins and found that the bbpress plugin is breaking it when I deactivate bbpress the elementor links and editor with the elementor button return. Any help is appreciated.

[allyhouston]

Hello,

bbPress 2.6.9
WordPress 6.3.1

I can disable the mobile header on my forum https://metpsy.com/forums/forum/metpsy-forum/ main page using Astra theme settings on the forum backend page, but topic pages (e.g. https://metpsy.com/forums/topic/welcome/) I’ve got no idea how to do. Is there a bbPress workaround?

Very best,

Ally.

[Frederic Pilon]

Thing is Robin they might update every once in a while, maybe, but even here; If it was not you there would be no replies from anybody close to bbPress on these forums.
