@Robin-w I don’t think you understood my question. If someone is not logged and is looking through a forum topic there is a bbpress login form at the button. how do I remove or hide that?
@Robin-w how do I disable the user login form that shows when the user is not logged in? I use the bbpress style park is there a way to disable it from there??
@Robin-w thank you! it works! Please what’s the dynamic link. I can use to direct each and every user to their own BBpress profile?
I have had bbPress installed on my website for sometime. However, without me realizing it, thousands of spam comments and messages have been posted on the few forums I have made. I had thought that Akismet was supposed to be cleaning things up, but I guess not. Now, it’s gotten to the point that my WordPress database has ballooned to over 8GB and my hosting provider wants me to fix it or they will take my site down.
That being said I have been trying to find a solution and thus far have come up empty handed. The problem is no matter how hard I try to delete the comments, both from the bbPress plugin on WP-Admin or by deleting the records from myPHPAdmin, the server locks up and the task cancels. I guess the server is not powerful enough for such a task. So, I downloaded a copy of the database to my local machine to try editing it there, and in this case I can’t find an app that can open .sql files and when I do there isn’t enough memory to open it.
Are there any other solutions? Is there a way to shrink the SQL database before opening it? How about splicing it into smaller batches? Is there a specific app, preferably free, that does a better job at managing large SQL databases?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
@Robin-w A developer helped to look into it and found that the H1 tag is generated by this wordpress function https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/_wp_editors/wp_link_dialog/
He also helped to temporarily edict the H1 tag to a H3 tag by editing the core files to temporarily solve the redundant H1 tag.
We texted the site without the core files edicts and on trouble shoot mood using the Troubleshoot plugin you recommended. Leaving only the Bbpress plugin and wordpress default theme enabled. I noticed that the new Topic form does not have an editing tool bar even when I “enabled” the editing formatting tool bar” on Bbpress settings.
When I proceeded to turn on 2 plugins in troubleshoot mode; Brizy page builder and Bbpress with the wordpress default theme. I placed the Bbpress “new Topic form short code” on a Gutenberg page on the site, then noticed the New Topic form still shows on the Gutenberg page but without the editor tool bar!
When the Bbpress short code is placed on a Brizy page, the Bbpress editor tool bar appears but doesn’t function properly. For example; the insert/edict link form does not appear as a “pop up” when I am trying to create a link on a post, instead the insert/edict link form appears on the footer.
I don’t know why this is happening. help!
I can’t reduce the font size on the Forum/Topic Type/Topic Status dropdowns so they don’t get cut off. This is using bbp Style Pack.
I’m running Astra Pro with a child theme, Elementor Pro and WP Super Cache. I’ve cleared the cache, done a browser (Microsoft Edge) reload (ctrl F5) and the font size change doesn’t show up. All of the green background lines in “it’s not working” are green, as they should be.
WordPress 6.1.1
bbPress 2.6.9
bbp Style Pack 5.1.5
What else should I try?
I’ve set up a custom forums landing page using the bbp-forum-index short code. It works fine.
However, when a new entry is submitted (and probably if an existing entry is edited), clicking the Submit button sends me to a different page than the one I’ve set up. Specifically, it sends me to /forums…which simply displays “Blasts from the past” (that may be text I entered at some point in the setup process).
How do I configure things so that my custom page gets used instead? Alternatively, how do I edit the /forums page?
As you may have guessed by now I’m a new bbPress user :). My site runs the Astra Pro theme (with a customized child theme). I also run Elementor Pro on the site.
<?php
/**
* bbpress file to emulate page.html to display forums
*
*
*/
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}
block_template_part('header-small-dark');
wp_head();
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>
<div class="bbpress-container bsp-fse-container">
<div class="bbpress-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
?>
The only modifications I made were to remove the calling of the footer and adjusted the header to a variant that I created called “header-small-dark”. Oh, and also removed the call for the page title.
can you post the final bbpress.php you created please
I’ve managed to cobble together a solution. Essentially bbp-style-pack was selecting its own “bbpress.php” file instead of whichever was put into the theme folder. Essentially it just meant I had to edit the “bbpress.php” file at “wp-content/plugins/bbp-style-pack/templates” instead of creating one in my themes folder.
Secondly, it seems the visual issues were caused by using the Greenshift plugin, the styling of which was not recognised by bb-style-pack. This is understandable and no-ones fault but my own for assuming that they would be compatible. Instead I created a new header using just standard Gutenberg blocks and styling which worked fine, just had to add a custom font and some padding to the content.
I am a first time user of bbPress plugin and am mighty impressed by the ease inspite of it being used in an untested version of WordPress.
I am using WordPress 6.1.1, though it is listed as not tested, I decided to try.
My bbPress version is 2.6.9
I am using the theme Astra version 3.9.4
Help needed:
1. I have filled in some details on my Forum page, which are not visible on the output page https://milk-one.in/forums/forum/career-opportunities-with-natural-living/
2. Is there a way I can copy Categories from one forum to another?
Thank you so much for your attention.
Best regards,
Sid
I have created a thread on the The Event Calendar support forum
\bbpress\includes\users\template.php
Doing anything involves finding out where and why this is happening.
If we find that, then we can look at possible causes and potential solutions.
I am yet to be convinced it is a bbpress issue at all. bbpress uses this element when a user inserts a link – that is true, but it is a generic piece of wordpress code. This is a bit like saying because Fred cuts his lawn, any lawn that is cut must have been cut by Fred.
I am not seeing this form on any pages in my test site.
The code is in some javascript in the footer, and could be loaded by anything, including a wordpress setting, theme or plugin.
so can you
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
@robin-w exactly it’s a WordPress element that’s only suppose to load on the backend! I use bbpress plugin and what BBpress does is that it causes this element to load on the front end! so that people who want to post a new topic or reply to an existing one can edict their texts and insert links. For example right now if you are tying something on bbpress and try to make word a link, you tap on the link in the editor menu and you will see “that wordpress element” pop out.
I use Bbpress plugin and that elment shows up visibly when users want to link a text as well!
BBpress causes that backend “wordpress element” to show up on the front end.
The thing is even when the “wordpress element” is not visibly seen i.e when a user is trying to edict a link when typing a new Topic on the Forum. “The wordpress element” can still be seen hidden in “the source code” of the page and other pages even when not visibility seen. This doesn’t disrupt the user experience but here is the reason why I have a problem with this;
SEO
The “wordpress element” has a H1 tag. when it’s loading in the front end. My pages has it’s H1 tittle which I put there. So the H1 tag tittle tag on my page and the H1 tag on that “wordpress element” on the source code makes for redundant (2) H1 tags on my site page.
Apparently search engines like Bing has a big issue with redundant H1 tags and shows it in my Bing webmaster report as a critical SEO error that need to be fixed. while search engines like Google have no problem with this.
Is there a way that when BBpress pulls that “wordpress element” (that by default loads only at the backend) to the front end, it changes the tag on that “wordpress element” to a H3 tag??
The page is 1500 lines.
but still no idea what your image has to do with bbpress????
ok, I cannot say why that is happening.
it could be a theme or plugin issue

ok, all I can say is that it works on my test site.
I am not a bbpress author, just a guy sat in his kitchen trying to help others
bypassed and went to the site – the link is just a webpage – no sign of bbpress on here.
At present the site is in development behind a firewall so I cannot share it, though this should change next week as I bring it live but then a username and password will be needed.
However, what I have identified is that when a two word search is made the resulting URL is
…/forums/search/worda+wordb/
This produces the error.
However if I change the URL to
/forums/search/holding%20tank/
It then works so the code is inserting the wrong word separator.
This seems to have been quoted before https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-search-form-widget-space-between-words-returns-a-404/
Though that was some years ago.
I have already tried a standard theme.
Does this provide any clues?
I know many fellows talked about how to remove a sidebar from a topic page, but they all are too complicated for me. So, I’m wondering whether I can remove a sidebar from a topic page by editing “funtions.php”.
For example, the url of a topic page includes string “topic”, so the following code (not completed yet) will work?
function bbPress_sidebar_hide() {
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if(strpos($url,'topic') !== false){
// here is the code for removing or hiding a sidebar which I don't know
}
@robin-w while I have messaged my site security company and waiting on a response from them! I did a malware scan of my domain using Sucuri;
The site seems clean! You can use Sucuri to check! Also my Google search console and Bing webmaster does not show any malwares! I will still appreciate if you can tell me the name of the your security so I can my site Security company look into that. It could be a false flag.
Pending that, could you please help me with a code snippet to change the H1 tag in the the insert/edict link form (that pops up when someone wants to insert a link on BBpress). How can I change the H1 tag there to H3 tag??? Please I’ll appreciate a code snippet that can do this pleaseee!
Can I use the topic/replay display template of this site(https://bbpress.org/)?
I think this template is more sophisticated than the original one.
And, when I hide avatars, the topic/replay display becomes in a bad shape (too much and unnecessary spacing), especially on a mobile screen.
I did this initially as I activated the FSE fix first, then when that didn’t work I created a bbpress.php. I may try creating a new header that is a bit simpler specifically for forum pages if integration isn’t well supported.
