waiting for an email from someone else, so playing with this – this should work
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background-color: blue;
}
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
background-color: green;
}
if you put this in
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>custom css
then it will exceute at the right point
let me know if it doesn’t work
That’s what I was planning to do, but I can’t replicate the problem. When I just make a couple of posts and replies, I don’t get the php notice. That’s why I was thinking maybe it wasn’t bbPress. There must be something special I need to do, to invoke the “blacklist” thing? It happens every once in a while. But I can’t find an action that causes it to happen. I gather that you don’t see it happening, right?
[10-Mar-2023 04:55:26 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Function get_option was called with an argument that is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 5.5.0! The "blacklist_keys" option key has been renamed to "disallowed_keys". in .../public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5667
I am using WordPress Version 6.1.1 and bbPress 2.6.9
I have tested with all plugins except bbPress deactivated and test themes such as Twenty Twelve and Twenty Seventeen.
with admin account under Dashboard >> Settings there is no forum option.
I acknowledge that bbPress has not been tested with this version of WordPress but rolling back to an earlier version of WordPress doesn’t seem like a smart idea from a security point of view.
I was sure it had a ticket, but can’t find, so I’ve created a new one.

Given that you are seeing this, can you change the wording in the bbpress file and see if the error goes away – it should cause no issues, it would just get overwritten by an update. Given that a new version is unlikely to be released anytime soon, it should stop them appearing for you, and would confirm that this is the fix.
Hi I have created a forum with bbpress, however i am having problems creating the pages in order for it to be visible. What plugin should i be using for pages. Currently have Yoast SEO but this looks different to the videos that i am following on youtube. Thanks
So no one can help me with this? I know that the Jetpack mobile theme restricts the blog posts to 5 per page (even though it is set to 10 in the WordPress settings, which is what I want for my desktop theme), so I assume there must be some kind of hook I can use to do the same with bbPress posts.
yes, it is bbpress and is a check when a topic/reply is made or edited.
and no there is no easy way to avoid this, it really needs changing in the core bbpress product as you say to disallowed.
There is a way to skip this check, and there are hooks that could be used to re-apply it, but it is a ton of work to do, and beyond free help.
Unless it is really really bugging you, I think we just need to live with it.
For what it’s worth, I can’t find a way to make the PHP Deprecated notices happen by doing any bbPress function I can think of. (What I can think of it is just to make posts and replies 🙂 ) If the notices are coming from bbPress (and maybe they’re not) I don’t know what sort of action might trigger them.
Hi,
A MySQL syntax error has started cropping up recently, even though I have made no changes that might be related to this (same MySQL version, same PHP version, same bbPress version, same WordPress version). Can anyone enlighten me on what might be causing this?
Once again, this only started happening recently despite the lack of any significant related changes – I have been doing forum repairs for years without any errors.

Hi,
I have the replies per page in bbPress set to 10, which is what I want for my desktop theme. However, I want to reduce this to 5 for my mobile theme. How can I go about doing this?
hi guys. i want to know how I can send emails with a delay or stop bbpress sending emails simultaneously.
bbpress is very stable, and the authors tend to release updates at very infrequent intervals.
It works fine with current versions of WordPress.
you may like to add this plugin as well
bbp style pack
which has lots of additional features to enhance the look and feel of bbpress.
I have an error message that I cannot remove.
Upload Errors:
ImageName.jpg: File exceeds allowed file size.
How do I get rid of the error message?
This seems weird, I am new to wordpress, bbPress is always referred to best forum plugin but the lack of recent updates ring alarm bells or am I wrong here?
i use this code for differentiate lead topic :
function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
$show_lead[] = ‘true’;
return $show_lead;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_show_lead_topic’, ‘custom_bbp_show_lead_topic’ );
now I want to display @mentionname too on lead topic, basically it’s like bbpress forum, however I can’t do it, anyone can help ?

Hello again, the issue seems to be resolved.
I tried de activating the plugins but it didn’t work.
I erased the website and did a clean WordPress installation.
Then I re-installed the AR Member Plugin and bbPress.
The Forum page now works as it is supposed to.
Thank you all for the support.
I need help with profanity plugins for my bbpress Forum website. I have been using Content Censor and Webpurify. These plugin seem to not work with nested replies within the Froum. I need someone help to use a plugin to stop profanity and racist remarks. Please let me know if any questions.

Hi, this is a membership site with private forums. It uses Paid Membership Pro for the subscriptions and bbpress to create private groups. Members are allocated groups on their profile pages.
It has been fine up to now but the last 4 new members have not been able to access the forums they have been given permission for.
There is a link on the side for ‘groups’ but I can’t tell if that is a bbpress thing or a pmp thing. There were no groups listed there and if I try to recreate a private group it wants to add it as a new forum, which will duplicate what we have.
Any ideas appreciated, am I looking in the wrong place for the list of groups?
In the path under Forum Title, the first link is to front/home page of website. BBpress is repeating the title of that page. Is there a way to change this wording to “home”?
e.g. at https://greensmoothie.com/members
the title of the front page is “Discover the Healing Power of LIVING Foods!” which BBpress is displaying.
In its place, I want it to display “Home” so the path will read:
Home › Members > [forum name]
thanks!
Hi! I’m running a math forum – globalmathforum.com – and I want my users to be able to write equations in when sending their questions via bbPress. Do you know if the users will be able to use the plugin?
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
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
Try adding the below code to your theme’s functions.php file, should make the userpages full width with no sidebar.
if( !function_exists('enkoes_magbook_userpage_css_class') ){
function enkoes_magbook_userpage_css_class( $classes ){
if( function_exists('bbp_is_single_user') && bbp_is_single_user()){
$classes[] = 'magbook-no-sidebar';
}
return $classes;
}
}
add_filter('body_class', 'enkoes_magbook_userpage_css_class');
if( !function_exists('enkoes_magbook_userpage_options') ){
function enkoes_magbook_userpage_options( $options = array() ){
if( function_exists('bbp_is_single_user') && bbp_is_single_user()){
$options['magbook_sidebar_layout_options'] = 'nosidebar';
$options['magbook_blog_layout'] = '';
}
return $options;
}
}
add_filter('magbook_get_option_defaults_values', 'enkoes_magbook_userpage_options',100);
You may have to get rid of that bbpress.php file you added.
I haven’t used Magbook theme before, so let me know if that works out for you.
😉
Hi! I wonder how to change the bbPress toolbar to include the possibility for the user to include math equations, like the square root sign, in their topic.
