ok these are instructions from 12 years ago, and are not applicable for the current version of bbpress.
If you just enable the ‘anyone can register’, then users can register from either the topic/reply forms, or you can use a register page – ie create a page – call it whatever you want and put the shortcode [bbp-register] in it. Then add this page to your menu.
I am not sure where you are seeing
“Before adding the page, it is important to select the bbPress template page for User Register. This can be done by clicking on the drop-down Template menu on the right hand section of the screen and selecting bbPress – User Register.”
Can you say when/wher this appears eg
dashboard>settings>xx>yy
I’m trying to create “Register” pages in WP (version: 6.2.2) for bbpress (Version 2.6.9). The following instructions say to access the following template.
“Before adding the page, it is important to select the bbPress template page for User Register. This can be done by clicking on the drop-down Template menu on the right hand section of the screen and selecting bbPress – User Register.”
I cannot find a bbpress template. I tried several themes (astra, neve, etc.) I used the bbpress style pack (version 5.5.5) and tried numerous priorities on “Forum Templates” ranging from 1 to 1000.
This is a practice site before replicating the issue on a staging site. So “oops” to the data or configuration is unimportant.
bbpress just uses the WordPress (or whatever custom plugin you are using) registration/login, and your problem is almost certainly site specific, so beyond generic help from here.
I’m new to wordpress and I installed the BBPress forums and they were fine and hen changed to looking all weird and ‘typewriter’ font and when I click on a thread it jus goes to a blank page and there is no way for anyone o actually post responses.
What has happened?
Please can someone help (in simple English, I am such a newbie at this and really have no clue.)
if you have bbpress subscriptions turned in, then users have the option to subscribe to any topic and receive replies.
Hello
I am new to BBpress.
Is the following content possible with BBpress?
1) Group the forums and have each membership level in the group.
2) Only registered members in each forum can send email notifications (new topics, replies) to the grouped forums.
I look forward to your advice.
thank you.
Quick update as of Wednesday May 17th 2023, WordPress Support confirmed a JetPack fix has been pushed, I tested it this morning and it works. If you enable:
JetPack > Settings > Performance > Enable Site Accelerator > Speed up image load times, then bbPress Forum posts will no longer be missing and Site Accelerator will work normally as before.

Text gets cut off in the mobile browser and goes into different columns. For example a topic page, the last column is last post with the time and author name. The author name is cut off.
from memory I have not written that one with pagination as the bbpress one does that for pages where you want lots to show, but does just have 15 as the only option
[bbp-topic-index]
I have done some initial testing.
On the test site that is running slow, it seems to be related to subscriptions and emailing.
I’d like confirmation that this is indeed the issue for you both as well before I spend time investigating further.
If you are able to help can you go to
bbpress test
and download a small testing plugin.
Then in your site, go to dashboard>plugins>add new and upload the plugin you just downloaded.
When activated, this plugin will stop emails on new topics, which is what I want to prove is the issue. So you’ll need to activate, do the test and then deactivate. During the period when it is activated subscribers will not get emails for new topics, so you may want to time your tests to a quiet time on your site.
So when you are ready activate this plugin, then create a new topic and see if it runs back to the usual speed.
Once you have tested, immediately deactivate this plugin, or your users will not get any new topic emails.
At the moment this is only testing new topics not replies, so no point in testing replies yet !!
Hello, I work for a software development company that specializes in web and mobile solutions. I have some experience with bbPress and I agree that it can be slow sometimes. One thing that helped me to improve the performance was to update the bbPress plugin and WordPress core to the latest versions. You can also disable any plugins that you don’t need or that are not compatible with bbPress. You can also try to use a lightweight theme that is optimized for speed. I hope this helps you to solve your problem. Cheers!

Is there any replacement for bbpress toolkit. I constantly get spammed with this email.

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

Then come back
sorry bbpress just uses the wordpress user system.
I’d suggest you use one of the many login plugins to enhance your users perception of your site eg
Theme My Login
is there anyway bbpress can not interact with wp-login? Whenever a new user register it send them to wp-login screen
I just want the users to see the custom login and register pages.
bbpress doesnt send any emails… activation emails, forgot password, subscription, etc..
the page bbp-register shortcode has register option which sends an email but since no email is sent no user can register.
it could be a theme or plugin issue

so what do you mean by ‘activation’ ?
bbpress just uses wordpress ‘registration’
bbpress has ‘subscriptions’
so not sure what ‘activation’ you are meaning?
This is still a huge problem, all emails are not working from bbpress.
Quick update to this, from WordPress – the JetPack developers are hoping to issue a fix for JetPack tomorrow, Tuesday May 16th 2023. This should resolve the ‘blank post’ issue on bbPress.
