When i try to log in to BBpress on my site either by the bbpress-widget or with the[bbp-login] shortcode all I get is a blankscreen and nothing more happens. Everthing just stops with a blank screen on …/wp-login.php.
I looked around and couldnt really find an answer to my problem.
My site: http://www.barabajen.se, And there is a shortcode in the bottom or the right widget-area
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
bbPress is not dealing with passwords as it relaying on WordPress for that, so I cannot really help you here.
– If you have BuddyPress installed (as you refer to the profile) then you could try on their forum
– If you don’t have BuddyPress, try on the wordpress.org forums

Goede middag,
You seem to use the full editor to add topics/replies and not the bbPress standard, correct ?
Some known issues with WP 4.5 so far (nothing to see with bbPress)
– Clean all your cache (hosting side, server side, browser side, …)
– If something uses jQuery to display it, there are known issues (see my answer on one of the plugins here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-on-wordpress-45?replies=13#post-8281904)
Mvg,
Pascal.
The image in the first post is visible when editing the post, as shown below:

The problem I am facing is that since the upgrade to WP4.5, no formatting is applied to the forums anymore. See the screenshot below:

The first post you see should contain an image and the second post should contain a link.
I am using WordPress 4.5 and bbPress 2.5.8.
I have tested the following on both Chrome and FireFox, in both normal and incognito modes.
The issue persists when using the Twenty … themes.
The issue also persists when turning off all extra bbPress plugins.
The issue is also present in bbPress 2.6-alpha.
The rest of my site works normally.
Hello!
Is there a way to include private forums in forums RSS feed (for authenticated users, which have access to specified forums)?
bbPress 2.5.8, WP 4.5
Thank you!
Hi,
In the bbpress profile edit page, one can change the password. The verbal explanation says that the password must be at least 10 characters long. But I find that this is not enforced at all: I could successfully change the password to any lenght, even single character passwords are accepted.
What would be the way to:
1) Enfoce that the password has a minimum length?
2) Customize the minimum length to a value different from 10?
Thanks,

Okay, so this one shows up. Why did the other two disappear?
They were pretty elaborate posts on an issue I am facing with bbPress, and had two images in them (including links to the full post).
The one from today had an additional link to my site, so I would assume that would have to be approved, as is stated. However, I submitted it, it was shown to me, I favorited it and subscribed to it, but that doesn’t show up in my dashboard.
Awesome, glad you’ve got your site running faster 🙂
Hopefully as bbPress 2.6 main focus has been on performance this will get even better once 2.6 is released.
Thank you all for your feedback. After some thorough investigation, I managed to finally configure my caching so that it actually works (never checked that… my mistake – I entered the wrong path in .htaccess). Also, I hard-coded some tweak in my theme, something which was only recently brought to my attention.
And this morning, one of our users finally had site load times of <1s on our forums. I can happily leave them on our main site – even if P3 reported bbpress & Associates as major sources of site load time: That it still is very little with good caching and static CSS/JS files in place (which I did not have before, they were computed on site load, thanks to my theme).

@thebrandonallen You’re right. I made a mistake when doing these tests.
Here’s the results when I keep only the essential extensions, but without bbPress:

OK, now I see !
How about [bbp-lost-pass] ?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any plugin available to change the font size (and maybe color) of BBPress? I have seen dozen of BBPress plugins but I failed to see one to accomplish this basic task.
I have spent several hours editing the fonts in order to make them bigger only to find them reset after updating BBPress, so a plugin for that matter would come in handy.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
If you have already deactivated all plugins except bbPress and switched to a default theme and you still do not see ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’ and/or ‘Replies’, then please try this in Settings > Forums (check after every step if you find the options back on your dashboard):
– ‘Settings > Forums’ : (de)activate ‘Anonymous posting’, save, (de)activate it again to get back to your original setting, save
– ‘Settings > Forums’ : (de)activate ‘Auto role’, save, (de)activate it again to get back to your original setting, save
– Deactivate the bbPress plugin, then reactive the bbPress plugin
– ‘Tools > Forums > Repair Forums’ : Remap existing users to default forum roles, click ‘Repair Items’ (WARNING: Make sure to have multiple admins in case the keymaster role would disappear from one account)

Hi hope someone can help?
I’m using the Boating theme by Flexithemes and running WP 4.5 and BBPress 2.5.8.
I was in the frontend and went to edit one of my own forum posts and got an error stating the page did not exist. On looking in admin I notice Forums are now missing including the ability to create new forum posts etc. The only mention of BBpress I can see is the BBP Style Pack in Settings.
If I try to Edit a forum category in the frontend I now get this error:”You are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.”
None of the previous posts have gone missing in the frontend which looks fine, only the backend has lost Forums. Any ideas anyone?
Hi,
In the bbpress index page, the top row shows:
homepage-title > Forums > Forum-title
How could I change homepage-title here? bbpress seems to take this from the title of the site’s default page. Is there a way to put a different text there (or remove the homepage-title altogether)?
Thanks,
//György

Hi,
I don’t think this is bbPress related, right ?
If not, then you’re better off on the wordpress.org support forum
If it IS related, then please explain how you see that in the bbPress context.
Thanks,
Pascal.
It might be your theme too is causing you issues with 4.5
The only way to find out is to switch to a default theme like Twenty Fifteen, deactivate all plugins except bbPress and start testing from there.
When you found what is blocking, open support requests for the theme/plugin. But I confirm that on bbPress side all seems working great with 4.5.
Sorry I can’t further help you, but if you find the issue, please post it back here.
Pascal.
solved with the following custom CSS
#bbpress-forums div.reply { height: auto; width: inherit !Important; }
There is some problem with GD bbPress Attachments too. An attachment to a post doesn´t appear in the post.
will the changes affect this rewrite set? i see bbpress replies as comments?
No, for bbPress 2.7 yes, but not for bbPress 2.6

Hi all,
I am running wordpress 4.5 and bbpress 2.5.8
Recently, one thread on my forum has started redirecting to the first page (not the last page) in the thread. Therefore once posted the user needs to click on the last page to see their post.
All other posts are fine.
Here is the post.
I updated the permalinks, and ran all of the bbpress repair tools, but no change.
Any help would be appreciated!
