I work for an organization that’s looking to add bbPress to our multisite network. We have to guarantee all plugins we add are WCAG 2.0 compliant–is that the case for bbPress forums? Thanks!

In bbPress, when a poster posts a comment on a topic, the poster’s name is hyperlinked in the post. And when the hyperlinked name is clicked, it jumps to a user-detail page. But, I don’t want one user to see other user-detail page. In the community I’m building, no user-detail pages are needed. So, I want to unlink it. I appreciate your help!

I more suspect that it is related to upgraded versions of wordpress or php and that bbPress Multi Image Uploader has not been updated for several years.

you can use the shortcodes

Have another question. Is there any reason why the site (bbpress forum only) will break if i upgrade the php from 7.4 to 8.1?

I have run my test site with 8.1 and it works with only warnings.

If it is breaking your site, then you will need to enable debug to find out where the issue is, or try 8.0.x which is also in support.

just released 5.1.3 which has the subscription management from bbpress toolkit in it.

Hello Robin

Have another question. Is there any reason why the site (bbpress forum only) will break if i upgrade the php from 7.4 to 8.1? Evrything else in the site seems fine so far except the forums break. Any suggestions on what can be done so that the upgrade is successful? Perhaps some of the options in the php have to be selected or un-selected? Thanks

[Mike Witt]

Thanks Robin. I kind of assumed the situation was like what you’re saying. But I just ran into some problems with another plugin (with PHP 8.1) and the authors of that one simply said they’re not supporting 8.1 yet – so no point in reporting issues. This caused me to question the situation with some of my other “main” plugins 🙂

FYI, though our real sites are still on PHP 7.4, my test site is currently running 8.1.10 and I have not *seen* any problems with bbPress (though it doesn’t get much of a workout there).

I’ve created a page with bbpress shortcode for login, users will need to give their name and email information, but when they are directed to the registration page I set for them, they need to give the password, as a matter of fact, there is a no process when they have required a password, and no emails will be sent to their mailbox, I am confused.

The page needs support is https://eventmelt.com/

Hi

Is there a way to use the first name only on the forum as standard? I use the ‘Force First Last’ plugin which changes all names on my site to first only when running it manually but with each new registration BBPress displays the name as FirstLast (where as the profile and other areas of my site automatically change to First only)

Hello @vvmdov and hello to BBpress support.
I’m also using BBpress(2.6.9) on my website(WordPress 6.0.3) with Divi theme(4.19.0 — it’s a child theme — ) and it seems I’m facing the same problem, especially when I use the search field.

As soon as I launch the search, my global header and global footer don’t appear correctly, all the css seems to be broken…
See here :

The only thing I could notice is that when I disable Dynamic Css in Divi options (General>Performance), the search comes back more or less to normal but I still don’t have my global header and global footer.
See here:

Do you have any idea where this could come from and how to fix it?
Thanks

In my forum, participants are often posting pictures. I have been using “bbPress Multi Image Uploader” to allow them to upload images in a simple manner.

Members are required to resize their images to 600×600 pixels and when it is uploaded with the plugin, the image is smaller in the post, but by clicking on it, it displays “full size”. However, in the last weeks or so, I notice that the popped up images are not as big as they used to be. However, if you right-click and open in a new tab, it does show the expected size.

I know that “bbPress Multi Image Uploader” has not been updated in a while, but otherwise, it still works fine. Any idea what might have changed for the display to be different now?

I have bbpress 2.6.9.

Here is an example where you can click on any image in the thread and compare with “open in a new tab”: https://scrapbookcampus.com/Community/topic/january-theme-challenge-celebrations/

Thank you

you can change the WordPress profile to bbpress using the

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login>option 6

[sharkster4000]

This really should be added to bbpress. In the meantime, you can use

https://YourDomain.com/wp-admin/profile.php

as a permanent link to a user’s profile. HOWEVER: This sends people to their WordPress profile page, not to the more friendly looking bbpress profile. It does still allow them to do all the changes to their settings though.

[Robin W]

My guess would be in native bbpress – probably not.

The additional plugin above should work for all/most FSE sites.

[rinh]

Does anyone know if there are plans to add support for FSE in bbPress in somewhat near future (like a year or so)?
Thank you 🙂

Hi –

I’m setting up a member site using MemberPress and bbpress (and I’m assuming eventually BuddyPress may get involved) and I’m struggling in my thinking about its hierarchy so I figured I’d ask those who have walked this path before me!

I’m building a coaching website where we’d like to build a community of clients as FaceBook isn’t cutting it. There will be some free content (open discussion), paid content (which could include access-based community discussion), and [this is where my real question lies] quarterly class schedules that we’d like to have only members of each quarter’s cohorts – so, there are 10 people in the Q4 cohort and those 10 are the only members that will ever get access to those materials/discussion threads. Then the Q1 class starts so we need another area for those folks…rinse and repeat every quarter.

Do I want to create all separate forums for this – Free, Paid, Q4, Q1, Q2, Q3, etc….OR is something like a single Cohorts FORUM with Q4, Q1, etc. being TOPICS under that forum? Or even something else like the use of Categories or Tags – this is where my lack of experience is tripping me up!

I appreciate any guidance you have!

Hello

wordpress 6.1
bbpress 2.6.9

I have been using the ‘bbpress toolkit’ link to manage member/poster subscriptions to the forum as well as to the individual topics.

Today when i try to upgrade wordpress from 6 to 6.1 my site broke and i lost access to it ven through cPanel and the hosting providers clinet log in dashboard. After hours of troubleshooting found out the above mentioned plugin which hasn’t been updated in 5 years is causing the site to break. Once the plugin is disabled the site updates fine and works just as it was before.

My question is, are there any other plugins that i can use to manage member subscriptions to threads and posts? It is not a paid website but it is a member only website and the primary concern is to unsubscribe members who are no longer welcomed from getting any notifications or copies of posts/replies.

Thank you.

Recently upgraded to WP 6.1 and this plugin bbPress Advanced Statistics gives deprecation warnings when I have debug mode enabled:

The official website for the plugin seems dead now.

The warnings:

Deprecated: Required parameter $version follows optional parameter $file in /customers/e/9/c/publictalksoftware.co.uk/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/includes/core/class.utils.php on line 25

One example:

    public function __construct ( $file = '', $version ) {
        
        $this->init();

    } // End __construct ()

I understand what it means, and I see that the parameter is ot used in the function. Dos that mean we just delete the parameter?

Another example:

    public static function instance ( $file = '', $version ) {
        if ( is_null( self::$_instance ) ) {
                self::$_instance = new self( $file, $version );
        }
        return self::$_instance;
    } // End instance ()

Problem here is that the version value is being used.

Advice appreciated.

[Robin W]

can’t tell you – this is a paid plugin and nothing to do with bbpress – you’d need to ask them

[Robin W]

just did a quick google – looks like you need to buy this

Simple Membership – bbPress Forum Integration Addon

[Robin W]

I had another go and doing one at a time and checking the front end and after enabling each one, the forum page is blank apart from having the header and footer

The only time the forum page displays correctly is when I enable the advanced custom fields plugin but unsure if that helps as I need to logout as admin to then see if solves the issue but then same happens as I’m not logged in as admin any more

I’m getting bit confused on what to do and unsure what plugin if any is causing the issue or if it’s the theme as getting quite lost to be honest as I don’t use wordpress often

ok, your issue was if I understood it that the bbpress login sent you to the wordpress login?

[Robin W]

I was going to say, do you think it could be because the bbpress plugin has only been tested up to wordpress version 5.9.5 and I am using 6.0.3?

bbpress works fine with 6.0.3

[ianhaneybs]

Thank you, I’ll try the health check plugin.

I was going to say, do you think it could be because the bbpress plugin has only been tested up to wordpress version 5.9.5 and I am using 6.0.3?

[Robin W]

ok, suspect that the membership plugin or another plugin is affecting that.

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
