Hi there,
bbPress does not seem to be fully PHP-7-compatible at present after all. Running a PHP 7 checker, I encountered the following errors and warnings in bbPress 2.5.10-6063:
FILE: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/cache.php

Is there a timeline for getting these addressed?
I’m working on a site where users seem to have difficulty using the topic tags. I can’t disable them because the client wants them. I was thinking if there was a drop-down suggestion/auto-complete for the topic tags input it would greatly reduce the incorrectly formatted (making them useless) tags and give people a better idea what belongs in that input.
Is there functionality for this in bbPress that I can enable, or a third party plugin? I’ve found googling for this very frustrating because using the term “topic tag” in a search brings up help forums that have topic tags of my other search terms.
This is within your theme, not within bbpress.
You could put a single image in, but not easily one per forum as far as I can see.
probably better to contact the bbPress Toolbox plugin support !
I tried this but it did not work.
I’m using the bbPress Toolbox plugin and and I did activate bbc code as the method to use quotes so all that happens is a < blockquote > tag added.
I’ve added your suggestion to the css file, which I put in my child theme folder (themes/childtheme/bbpress/bbpress.css).
No difference though, bbpress still uses the CSS from my style.css.
The two ‘test’ items below are easier, as they just use blockquote so you can add this to your css
#bbpress-forums blockquote {
color: green;
}
I presume that you don’t want to change the class in the other plugin?
Hi, I’m using bbpress on my upcoming videogame website:
http://20160719.gaming-universe.de/guf/topic/testtest/#post-6864
As you can see, the template uses information from the WP theme style.css.
This is overall a good thing but the blockquote function looks off.
I’m also using a couple of plugins so I feel that I might be able to change that via a CSS function but don’t understand CSS very well.
When looking at the code, the blockquote seems to use a specific class from one of my plugins:
blockquote class=”d4pbbc-quote”
Can anyone point me to where I can change the CSS for the blockquote attribute?
Thanks, Matthias
I forgot to wait updating wordpress until bbpress was also 4.6 ready.
But I have upgraded to wp 4.6 now already and noticed an error.
When bbpress plugin is activated i cannot upload or find images. The media library keeps on looking for something.
And when uploading i get an error “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later”.
Does this has to do with the wp 4.6 update?
and is the new bbpress update coming soon?
Love the functionality of bbPress and WordPress. Added the reply widget to my main sidebar, but it only displays what topic is being replied to and who replied. I’d like to be able to show at least a portion of the content from, say, the five most recent posts on the forum. Is there an easy way to do that? Perhaps a plugin/widget I should look at?
My site is FAUOwlAccess.com
Thanks.
This is the default display.
If you are into coding, you can check out
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
or if coding is not your thing use my plugin Style Pack which will let you set up lots of stuff, including fixing the above

I have some custom fields in my user account profiles that BBPress Profile view displays just fine, but then all the ones related to Address, display as blank fields. The really weird thing is they are all still editable and will save entered data.
To summarize the issue:
My custom fields for Address do not display content when viewed in BBPress Profile.
If I type in something into one of the blank fields and then click Update, it saves it correctly and then again, still won’t display anything.
IS THIS INTENTIONAL? It seems weird that OTHER custom entries like my mailing list checkbox still display.
After doing some more work on this, I think that while the visibility of my topic in the subforum is indeed broken after the Subforum’s ID is placed in the _bbp_hidden_forums option, that is only a symptom and not a cause.
I think that the fundamental assumptions of this version of bbPress/BuddyPress preclude the use of Subforums. And evidence of this is that visibility sensitive areas of the code like this just come up with the wrong answer when subforums are involved.
So for me, I think I’m going to stop trying to make subforums work until the core code changes to better support them.
I’m wondering if anyone at bbPress is paying any attention to this. We’re having the same problem at a non-profit I’m trying to help set up bbPress. If I’m logged in as an Admin, I can post, but if I’m logged in as a user (participant role in bbPress and subscriber in aMember) I can see the forums but not post. Exactly the same as the OP.
Has anyone found a solution for this?
Thanks if you can help.
Hi there, I would like to import from vb 3.6.+ to bbpress
as I am not vb4 , I suspect the importer is not working, is there another way round this via phpmyadmin, please?
I am not so much a techie but can fiddle slightly in myphphadmin
thx Bob
This is interesting, as I am running vb 3.6+ and I am looking to import into BBpress. Looking to go simple instead of all the bloat of vbulletin, even though I added a lot the old forum in design and ‘hacks’
Is your login form a widget? It looks like. Go to widgets menu and in settings or options there is url to homepage after log in which is default behavior. Try to use bbPress Login widget and check settings.
Good Luck.
Hi,
I’ve been trying to reduce the height of topic form (Tinymce) which stands at default 236px height.. I want to reduced them upto 100px.. I have searched all over, seems there is no shortcut solutions.. Can you please point me the file where I can edit that value.. For temporary period, I can touch or change the core files, if needed.
I’m unable to locate the file.. Even not sure if those values comes from wordpress tinymce files under/includes/tinymce or it’s set in within bbpress..
Thank you so much…
can you check if it is being logged as spam

If the service catches a topic that is spam, you will see it in the WordPress backend in the topics section under spam, and the same process for replies.
and more info: i am using the latest version of WordPress and bbpress.

Robin:
I installed bbPress by following the instructions here on bbPress.org:
- I created an empty page named “Forums” using the default forum root slug heading (i.e., ‘forums’).
- Then I added the empty “Forums” page to the site’s main menu.

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
so you will need to take out lines 31-34 which say
<p>
<label for="bbp_anonymous_website"><?php _e( 'Website:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_website" value="<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" size="40" name="bbp_anonymous_website" />
</p>
You should do this in a child theme, but if you do it in your main theme keepo a record as you will need to do this again on any theme update.

I know what a 403 error is. I have been around quite a while and been around the block quite a few times.
Sorry, but I have no idea what your level of knowledge is – how could I?
My question is why am I getting this error only since I installed BBpress and BuddyPress?
I don’t know – so sorry again !

The first thing I checked was the file permissions. Even before I said anything here. All of the BP stuff is set to 777 actually. That should give full permissions for everything and not generate any permission errors at all.
Now since installing BP I keep getting this error. It not only affects BP but my Advanced Classifieds and Directory Pro. Which since installing BP and all of the components gives me this error now whenever I try to add a new article when it never did before.
Hello
I’ve searched online but cannot find the answer. Does anyone know how I can edit the New Topic page of my forum: http://psychiatryadvice.com/new-topic/
For example, how do I remove the section which requests ‘website’?
Or do you know which file I need to edit?
Thanks!
