On the forum user’s profile page, the following links don’t work:
- Topics started
- Replies created
- Engagements
- Favorites
- Subscriptions
- Edit
The links all return a WP page that says “Not Found Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”
I’ve tried three WP version (5.9.7, 6.2, 6.2.2), and two versions of bbPress (2.69 and 2.7), and I keep it very simple: just WordPress and the bbPress plugin. I’ve also tried a variety of themes, new ones and older ones. Everything else works fine–it’s just those links on the profile page that don’t.
I suspect that I’m missing a simple configuration setting or something…
Does anyone recognize that symptom and/or know what the fix is?
Thanks!
They are all bbpress roles.
thanks for the update.
1. Can you confirm that you have run the repair tools in dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums
2. can you confirm that making a wordpress post (ie a post or page) is quick
3. can you try editing a bbpress topic on the front end and let me know if that is erqualy slow on saving
are these wordpress roles, bbpress roles, (say membership) plugin roles, or some customs roles you have written?
I just had a quick look at the yoast code, and this is deliberate.
a comment in the yoast code says :
If breadcrumbs are active (which they supposedly are if the users has enabled this settings),
* there's no reason to have bbPress breadcrumbs as well.
WordPress v. 6.2.2
BBPress v. 2.6.9

I am able to use the forum index shortcode while I’m editing my forums page and everything looks perfect (first screenshot). On the front end however, it looks completely different and is completely unusable (second screenshot). I have driven myself insane trying to figure this out and I’m coming up completely empty. Does anyone know what’s going on here?
Thanks!

Just an FYI this plugin does NOT work. https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-upload-for-bbpress/
Version 1.1.18 with WordPress version 6.2.2. Allows you to click on the image icon, navigate to your image and upload. Just when you think it works…. it doesn’t. Image does NOT appear when viewing the forum. (Even if you have permission rights)
Frustrated.
ok, 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
I’m using the latest version of WP, bbPress, and Hello by Elementor.
I created topics and replies with my admin profile and fake users, and when I click on the links of the users, it says the page cannot be found. In fact, the whole sidebar that I see here titled Topic Info doesn’t show up as well.
I see others have had this problem in the past: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-profile-link-giving-a-404-error/ I wondered if this issue was resolved. But my fake user’s username is just one word, so it’s not a spacing issue.
Here’s a link to my forum page: https://www.referralgroup.b2bopps.com/forums/forum/general-forum/
Hello everyone!!!
I have installed BBPress and BuddyPress.
When I only had BBPress, I was able to modify many fields in the BBpress profile, such as.
– First name
– Last name
– Nickname
– Bio
– @username
– Username.
Now, I have installed BBPress and BuddyPress, and I can’t find where these fields are to edit them so I can change their values. How can I put these BBPress fields in BuddyPress? Do I need a plugin?
Thanks
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!
