the 2022 wordpress theme is a block theme, and doesn’t support bbpress out of the box.

Install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

Im using BBpress Version 2.6.9 and WordPress version: 5.9.3 and i’m working on my localhost.
I have followed the documentation (method 2) and I keep ending up with the same issue. The Forum page has the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode which works fine, but when I click on the forum I created it returns a blank page.

URL structure that returns blank page:
mysite/forums/forum/test-forum/

I have removed every plugin except BBPress and tested this on the 2022 WordPress theme and still no luck, any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Using bbPress to add a forum to your WordPress websites is the easiest method. It is the best forum plugin for WordPress and comes with all the features you need to set up and manage a discussion board online.

Hello dear users,
i am using bbpress and trying to customize it to my needs (child theme, override the various css etc). Question: now when I do a search, the sequence in the answers is completely different than expected: first comes the answer, then the reference to the topics and then the question. Where and how is it possible to specify what where and in what order the search results should be displayed.
Many thanks for hints! Kind regards, rs

I have an issue with bbPress. In the settings, I checked under /options-general.php?page=bbpress the option Auto-embed links.

When I upload a video in the forum, the result is the link to the video instead of a player to play the video.

How can I fix it?

[erossini]

In my WordPress website, I added bbPress. When you are in the forum in the section _Support_ and you open a topic, you see this

In my point of view, the user experience is not great because the user doesn’t know where he or she is. I like to add a full breadcrumb like

> Forum > Support > Test video

How can I add this?

[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

following closure of the ‘bbPress – Moderation Tools’ plugin, I added this code to my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated you’ll find the moderation tools in

dashboard>settings>forums

[Pete]

I am using WordPress 6.0.2, bbPress 2.6.9 and my forums are located here.

I have what I would have thought was a fairly common requirement: I (keymaster/administrtor/moderator) simply want to receive an email notification if a post requires moderation, rather than having to ‘manually’ monitor the Topic/Reply lists through the forum adminsitration screens to see if moderation is required.

It seems that the ‘bbPress – Moderation Tools’ plugin used to do this, but this plugin appears to no longer be available. I have installed ‘bbPress Notify (No Spam)’ 2.17.6 (bbPNNS), but I seem only to be able to configure this to notify me after the post has been approved, not before, when moderator action is required.

My problem is not a fundamental problem with notifications. I get email notifications when new users register or when they change their password, and I can configure bbPNNS to send email notification when new topics are posted, but I cannot see how to configure something that will send an email notification when a pending post (Topic or Reply) requires the attention of a moderator.

There appears to be a plugin that will hold all posts for moderation, and send the desired email notification, but I don’t need, or want, all posts to be moderated.

I have posted a similar request on the bbPNNS support forum, where this post suggests that this is a standard feature of the bbPNNS plugin, but I cannot see how to configure this capability and thought I may need to be asking my question in a broader forum.

Can anyone point me to a suitable plugin or instructions on how I might be able achieve this?

[mkopp1103]

Hi,
I Am trying to move the whole forum to another wordpress install and can’t figure out how to do it. How can there be migration options for so many other forums, but nothing to migrate a current BBPress Forum to another site?
Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

Thanks a lot!
Max

3. bbpress follows the rules in dashboard>settings>discussion

[shacagurus]

I am having three issues since installing the bbPress plugin:

1. Every time a user subscribes/unsubscribes to a forum or topic, this appears and stays on the screen: Error: There was a problem unsubscribing.

2. I have the html toolbar enabled, but it does not appear on the reply dialog.

3. I do not see how to allow replies to post without approval.

[Robin W]

from bbpress or a wordpress registration I believe, so if you’ve signed up to worpdress to log say a call in other pkigins

[Robin W]

your trheme is adding this – try

#bbpress article ul li:before {
 display: none;
}

[dillonleo]

The page on my forum is full of list bullets. (https://www.turtleholic.com/forums/forum/turtle-questions/)

Does anyone know how to fix this? I was able to add the following CSS code to the main Forum page (https://www.turtleholic.com/turtleholic-forum/), which removed the bullets from that page. But on the specific forum pages I don’t know how to add custom CSS.

ul ul li:before {
display: none;
}

ul li:before {
display: none;
}

[freelylw]

when click on the author’s name on this forum, it links to the author’s profile page, am wondering if this profile provided by bbpress or from other plugins, please advise, thanks

[kenjireds08]

I am not good with English and use translation software.

By default, new posts are displayed at the bottom, so I used the plugin “bbPress – Sort topic replies” to change the sort order.

This plugin allows new posts to appear at the top, but I would like to change the URL in the notification email when a post is made to the board.

Currently it says “https://✕✕✕✕/forums/topic/bulletin-board/page/19/#post-4536”

and when accessed from here, the user is taken to the last page, page 19.
I would like to delete the “page/19/” part of this URL, but I don’t know where to delete it.

Please help me.

[pickledbeats]

I have installed the BBP Style Pack and was able to increase the font size and bold for the Forum and Subforum Titles in the list, but I can’t get them to change in:
– Topics Index under each forum
– Topics and replies

I have changed the font size to 15 and bold in:
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics index styling>item 4
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics index styling>item 13

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics reply display>item 6
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics reply display>item 10

But the changes don’t appear in the forum.

The forum is private, but here are screen captures of what they look like:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y7Dk5151LNwtJ08BdQE-kWAZ75Iya-Um/view?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/19ALhYmhEj2EnqFJl5KOwpj_jcG-xdD2V/view?usp=sharing

I am trying to increase the size/bold the list of topics in the index under each forum and also to increase the size of the text in each of the topics.

I’m using:
WordPress 6.0.2 running Twenty Seventeen theme.
BBPress Version 2.6.9
BBP Style Pack Version 5.0.8

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

[Robin W]

sounds more like a question for learndash than bbpress- maybe start there?

[Mike Witt]

Hi@dimitri333

Take a look at:

identify user with @

Regarding the (unofficial) code:

bbp Mentions Suggest

However, I think that you would have to add BuddyPress to your site to get this working. So it might not help you. I don’t think there’s anything you can do with bbPress alone.

[Devcr3]

I only use bbpress and no buddypress, is there a code or plugin for bbpress? TY❤️‍🔥

[Devcr3]

register_activation_hook(FILE, ‘bbpress_topic_scheduler’);

add_action(‘bbpress_daily_event’, ‘bbpress_close_old_topics’);

function bbpress_topic_scheduler() {
wp_schedule_event(time(), ‘daily’, ‘bbpress_daily_event’);
}

function bbpress_close_old_topics() {
// Auto close old topics
$topics_query = array(
‘author’ => 0,
‘show_stickies’ => false,
‘parent_forum’ => ‘any’,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘posts_per_page’ => -1
);
if ( bbp_has_topics( $topics_query ) )
while( bbp_topics() ) {
bbp_the_topic();
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
$topic_date = strtotime( get_post( $topic_id, ‘post_date’, true ) );
$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id);
if ($topic_date < strtotime( ‘-5 hours’) && $forum_id == 9547 )
bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );
}
}

Ps: code add to functions.php

Hi – I want to create a custom menu in profile page – along with favourites, subscriptions, engagements etc.

Please help me in finding the right documentation to do this.

Right now I’ve create the link by editing the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php file.

Kindly guide me

[roostandrefuge]

When a forum is built, it is associated with a specific LearnDash Group. Currently, all new Topic post notifications are being sent to all the Moderators and Group Leaders regardless of the Forums assigned to specific LearnDash Groups. I only want notifications to go to the Moderators of those specific forum groups, not to everyone with a Moderator or Group Leader role.
