I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.
The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.
My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.
bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.
I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.3 and php 8.1 with no issues.
The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.
However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this
bbp style pack
as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.
All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.
The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.
But with open software you make your choices….
these additional plugins will help
1. not 5 stars, but allows voting
bbPress Voting
2.
stats in WordPress are notoriously unreliable, I don’t know of a plugin that does this.
3.
Inline Image Upload for BBPress
Hi,
I want to set up bbPress on my site, I wish to know this forum, can I set up:
1. 5 stars satisfied points ?
2. statistic data to show how many users have read this article ?
3. can the users put photos or video on their articles ?
Thank you your replies.
if it is the default bbpress one, then add this to your custom css
#mceu_12 {
display: none;
}
otherwise I’d need a link to a live example on your site
I have installed the plugin Advanced Editor Tools but any changes I make in the layout of TinyMCE in the settings doesn’t seem to affect the layout of the editor in BBPress topic posts or replies. Its seems to only change the settings in the editor for WP posts and pages.
Hi, I am trying to remove an image upload button that was placed on the TinyMCE reply editor by an image upload plugin. When I uninstalled the plugin the image on the editor has remained and is linkable to a broken page (obviously as the plugin has been removed). The topic on the plugins author page is here but we can’t seem to find a solution. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removed-plugin-but-image-add-icon-still-visible/
“This plugin enables the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor for BBPress forum topics and replies and adds a button to the editor’s “Insert/edit image” dialog that allows forum users to upload images from their computer and insert them inline into their posts.”
Can anyone point me to a way to remove this image upload button or is there a way to edit the layout and options of the editor with a different plugin?
Thanks in advance
ok, so yes you could change the default template for that page in bbpress, but your theme is not using that template, so that is pointless.
You need to amend the template your theme is using, so need to contact the theme support.
I use the GD Quantum Theme Pro for bbPress plugin for the bbPress layout and Paidmemberships Pro for my membership website. Even after deactivating both, there is still the Forum, Topics, Posts, and Last Post bar appearing in bbPress, which seems all but normal to me: https://postimg.cc/wR1SkHWY
My question is: Can I change “Forum” in that bar to something else?
I found these two different codes that is supposeto what I want (I do not want moderator or keymaster roles shown in forntend), but when I insert either in the bbpress functions.php page nothing happens.
function hide_role ($args) {
$args['show_role'] = false ;
Return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'hide_role') ;
function role_show () {
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator') $args['show_role'] = true ;
else $args['show_role'] = false ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'role_show' );
I also do not want IP address shown for anyone on the frontend. (Yes even for moderators ND KEYMASTERS)
I am moving mybb to bbpress although I am using hostinger server for both I am having issue importing maybe it is because of version but what happens is it get’s stuck on starting even though the forum is not really large I have tried again and again but no luck please help.
I’m just having problems with the bbpress widgets. For the forums and topics widget. When you add it, it looks like it adds all of the forums or topics. I only want maybe 10 to show. Otherwise If I create 100 forums (not the plan, just as an example), it’ll be a huge page if that many populate.
Using globally-scoped CSS to style elements and override classes in WordPress, like the garden-variety style.css. It has nothing to do with bbstyle.
Ex.
#bbpress-forums {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
.bbpress-wrapper {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
.bbp-breadcrumb, .bbp-breadcrumb-home {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
.bbp-topic-permalink {
font-size: 15px !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
}
.bbp-header, .bbp-reply-author {
background-color: #F8AA3C !important;
font-size: 16px !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
‘global CSS overrides in BBPress.’ – sorry can you explain what you mean by that?
I wasn’t referring to bbs style pack but to global CSS overrides in BBPress.
I’m guessing this forum software doesn’t like Dropbox image links.
The answer is yes, but not for free, it would involve someone with coding knowledge using a bbpress hook to display.
Something weird is happening with the Forum Roles information in bbPress. The name, image, and role are out of alignment, image is too large, and each part (name, image, role) have a bullet point before them.
I’m new to bbpress and am having problems with the widgets. They don’t offer any sort of query or limiting options. I don’t want to have an incredibly large list on my page. I only wanna show about 10. maybe have a show more. Are there ways to do this? Is there a plugin for bbpress that has widgets that have this capability.
thx for any help.
Hello, first of all sorry for my English.
I have a wordpress site under construction with bbpress, budypress and gamipress linked.
I have several questions, so I put them in different topics. Here is this query:
I have an achievement system set up on the website for completing actions, tasks, etc.
Could the achievements achieved by users be seen in the forum, for example under the avatar?
Greetings and thanks for the help.

Would it be possible that when someone writes in the forum, the total number of messages they have written in the forum appears? In other forums I have seen it under the user’s avatar.
It would be something like what I attached in the link.

At the time of writing a topic or answer, could the writing bar where the bold, italics, etc. appear, be changed?
I would like it to be like that of many forums where by simply clicking on the chosen button, the action is executed and the labels of said action do not appear.
It would be something like what I attached in the link.

No, it’s a WP 6.3.1 site I built specifically to test BBPress. It’s mostly just Elementor and Astra (Pros), the Classic Editor, Simple Custom CSS and JS PRO and BBPress. It’s behavior I haven’t seen with CSS overrides in WordPress before.
As you can see, the class specifies Roboto for the breadcrumb but it’s showing a serif font, even in the sample rollover in Inspector’s Styles window. The class works fine from the parent page but not in /forums/topic/
One thing I noticed as I was using CSS to re-style BBPress is that the CSS classes don’t carry over to individual discussions. That is, if I create a bunch of class overrides for the main page, in my test case /alpha-site, they go away under /forums/topic/. In Inspector it looks like the page defaults back to bbpress.min.css, overriding those class overrides.
Any way around this?
