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?

[Robin W]

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.

Greetings.

I have installed bbPress on a website.
AR Member Plugin is also installed.
Buddypress Plugin is also installed.

I created a forum page.
https://presley.rockmedia.gr/forum/

I created a new user. ( *Users are registering through AR Member Registration Page )

When I click on a Forum name to go inside the Forum, the page refreshes but I cannot create a new topic. The only new element displayed is a “subscribe” link.

What am I doing wrong?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress users, so this should get you what you want

https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-show-total-number-of-registered-users-in-wordpress/

[nobody]

thanks for replying @robin-w , I mean this widget :

(bbPress) Topic Views List – A list of registered optional topic views.
Options:
Title: Here you can set the title of the widget as it will be displayed in the sidebar.

when in click does not happen what, actually i just want to display ‘Topics without replies’. Can help me @robin-w

[jelliott2014]

Thanks. I’ll fiddle with it a bit more, then return to the “standard” bbPress config. Subscribers may/maynot be notified. Serves them right for not regularly checking the Forum. I’m not messing with DNS settings.

[Robin W]

bbpress does not have a widget ‘Most Liked Topics and Topics without replies’ – is this from an additional bbpress plugin ?

[Robin W]

if you are not using AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions, then bbpress will send

from the noreply@
to the noreply@
and then bcc in the users

This is a common way to bulk email.

Hi there.

This is about my login page here:
https://vancouvergathers.ca/wp-login.php
I’m using WordPress 6.1.1, Elementor Pro 3.11.3 with Hello Elementor theme,
BBPress version 2.6.9, bbp style pack 5.3.6,
I’m using LoginPress but that was installed after the issue described below was already present.

Underneath the captcha and above the blue Login button is an extra button I want to remove. It says “Log in or sign up” but the button just redirects to the login page itself.

When I inspect the page in Chrome it tells me the element might be div.bbp-button-wrapper or button.bsp-register.

Do you know how I can find out where this button is being invoked so I can remove it from the code? I am not an expert web developer and I cannot solve this issue on my own.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Brenden

[Robin W]

in effect they are one and the same thing.

bbpress just uses the wordpress user with an additional role.

If you want to prevent users from accessing the forum but still have site access you can use the ‘blocked’ role or set ‘no role’ and/or not set a default role in dashboard>settings>forums

Hi

Post new topic is about 8 sec.
Put a post in trash about 30 sec.
Delete a post is about 7 sec.
Post a reply 4 sec.

Viewing topics etc is fine with page load time about 0.5-1 sec.
Forum size 37k posts 280k replies.
Total in bbPress 95k posts and 650k replies.
Smaller forums are faster.

Is this expected or is there a way to speed things up?
WP 5.9.5 bbPress 2.6.9. Disabling all plugins do not make any difference.
Fast VPS with 8 cores, 32GB mem, SSD disks.

Regards

Took awhile but I fixed it by adding this code to the bbpress.css file in my child theme:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-link {
padding: 0 0;
}

[Marisa]

If you delete a user in bbPress, does the WordPress user get deleted as well?

[wpturk]

It’s a bug since bbpress version 2.6.8. And it’s not fixed in 2.6.9

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3445

[wpturk]

Hi, you can put this in your functions.php to fix the problem:

if( !function_exists( 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' ) ){
        function bbpress_browser_supports_js() {
                echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
        }
        add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' );
}

[Robin W]

if you check out

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>other bbpress plugins you will find several that deal with parts of your list

post count is in style pack

user ranking is a plugin listed

there are upload plugins there

[Robin W]

if you are seeing emails, I suspect the problem is downstream from your site, and that spam detectors in the various mail providers are seeing emails with lots of bcc’s as spam.

I would first see that emails are being sent by using

Check & Log Email

and setting it up to log emails

You can then see what is being sent.

If emails are going, then you might need to change the ‘from’ email address that bbpress uses to a real one on your domain, or by setting up the ‘noreply@’ email as a real one on your domain, you hoster will help you here if you don’t know how to do that.

Finally you could use this plugin :

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

to send the emails one at a time. Whilst old it still works fine.

[jelliott2014]

I’ve looked thru previous posts on this topic without success; hopefully you can help.

I have created a forum that several users of my site have subscribed to. When anyone creates a new topic or post to the forum, neither I nor other subscribers are notified. I do see an email sent to noreply@(MyDomain) notifying me of a post sent by me, but copies are not received by others who are subscribed (which I believe should be bcc’d). I am certain I’m overlooking something; can you help?
Do users need to be logged into the website to receive an email?

bbPress ver. 2.6.9
Astra Theme ver. 4.02

I am customizing my bbPress installation and I have encountered an issue where there are two rectangles to the left and under-neath a user’s avatar on a post that appear to be misaligned. When I inspect element they appear to be bbp-reply-author or bbp-author-link, I can’t find where to edit this in css or in the bbpress functions. Does anyone know where I can look to fix this?

My theme is a modified version of Seedlet and I am using the latest bbPress and WordPress versions.

Here is a screen grab highlighting the issue:

This is the good part of bbpress. You don’t have hundreds of features you don’t need. As you mentioned, everything you need can be added via plugins or code customizations. (functions.php)

Maybe, you can tell us which features you are missing? For example you can check the plugin “GD bbPress Toolbox” which adds many features to your bbpress forum.

[admiraljuicy]

Hi, new to BBpress.

I’ve noticed that there aren’t a lot of options regrading the customization of the forum, at least on the front end and you need to install additional plugins if you want to get more functionality or make things simpler to customize.

My question is, are there any plugins that allow me to have features that are commonplace in other forum software, like who is online at the bottom, different icons for new/unread forums/posts.

Essentially, I want to know what plugins are pretty much must haves for BBpress, I already have the BB style pack plugin which has helped immensely, but it’s still not enough. If there’s a tutorial out there to get all of the customization I’m after than I’d highly appreciate the help as well.

I am using the latest version of wordpress and BBpress.
The forum in question: https://sonic-city.net/forum/

Thanks in advance

[lesd1315]

Thank you – I wasn’t aware of all the tools for bbPress. That solves the problem.
