Hi there,
i’ve got a Problem with my bbpress forum.
When I want to view a topic in the Frontend, then i stare at a blank page
After creating a new WordPress site and using the shortcode “[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]” it works.
So I can only view the Topic after creating a WordPress page for it.
Is there a Way WordPress creates automatic a Page for a new Topic, with the necessary Shortcode?
Maybe there is another solution for my problem.
I look forward to your replies and thank you in advance 🙂
I’d guess that it is related to your elementor element that contains it – basically bbpress is trying to fit it’s stuff into a box that is not right for it.
Beyond free help I’m afraid
New to this. I just installed bbPress to my site and something’s wrong with the default setting. Notice on these two pages, the login button and ‘keep me signed in’ button and text appear to be in random places. How can I fix this? :

Well a couple of days in since the restart. I’m unconvinced bbpress/wp is doing the right thing with feeds from private forums. So do beware. But wholesale turning off rss seems to result in empty containers, and that seems so far successful in avoiding disclosure of page content.
Who’d have thought a simple thing like this eh?

Does anyone know if you can migrate Buddy Boss Forums to BB Press? I have decided to move on from Buddy Boss for a variety of reasons and just want a plain forum versus the Facebook style. Does anyone know an easy way to migrate Users, Forums and topics?
I’ve created a website using Elementor, LearnDash LMS and bbPress. I’ve installed and activated a forum using BBPress. However, when I try to edit the forum with Elementor I get an error message saying ‘Sorry the content area was not found in your page’.
Do you have any advice about how to resolve this issue?
ok, so you are correct that topics and replies should be public.
You don’t say how you detected a brute force, and if these were default or easily guessed usernames etc. The whole idea of a brute force attack is to try loads of usernames in the hope one is correct.
bbpress just uses WordPress login, so if you were seeing login attempts this might be just a plain brute force on a wordpress site, unrelated to bbpress.
Identifying users would be unlikely to come from a topic display, given that a private forum does not show public topics either on screen or through rss.
However bbpress does have a profile page which is publicly displayable, and that might be a route. ie if the profile page of a display name does not 404, then username is valid.
you can use :
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile
where you can choose who to display profiles to, and therefore prevent profile pages of your users being identifiable.
ok, I’ve just tried this on my test site with just twentyten and bbppress and it sends with carriage returns, so possible that the email system you are using or indeed the email recipient software is stripping – may be may not be.
otherwise it could be a theme or plugin issue

Aloha. Somehow my installation of bbpress is mucked up big time. There are two of us who are WP administrators, but neither one is a ‘keymaster’, so we can’t do much. Right now we have no data / forums we wish to preserve, so a complete delete and reinstall would hopefully be the quickest and easiest way to move forward.
I’ve found this article on how to delete bbpress, but step two is: Go to Tools > Forums > Reset Forums. When I go to ‘Tools’ there is no link to Forums, so I can’t do this step. I’m guessing this is related to the fact that neither one of us is a keymaster and I have no idea how to restore keymaster permissions
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mahalo,
Harry Z
Wow that code is a lot more involved than I thought it would be. I’ll probably end up just using your plugin. Thanks as always! Do I need to send as text/html if I just want the correct line spacing or is there a way to fix that for plain text emails? Right now by default all the carriage returns get stripped by default, that’s really all I’m trying to fix. If I need to send HTML that’s fine but I have a hard time believing the default bbpress notifications should look like this

Aloha. I’m trying to get bbpress working and I’m having a problem. bbpress has been installed and activated, but I don’t see ‘Forum’ on the dashboard. This is bbpress 2.6.9 running on WP 6.0.1. I have uninstalled and re-installed bbpress with no change.
Searching the internet tells me it’s a conflict with another plugin or with the theme. However, I’ve installed the “Health Check and Troubleshooting” plugin (https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) and when I enable it, then enable bbpress, I still don’t see the Forum in the dashboard. Changing themes did not help either.
Also, when looking at the View Details of bbpress, I see this: Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress. Is this my problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As I mentioned, the BBPress login form is visible but not working. If I fill in my credentials it just takes me to the WordPress login page and I have to refill my credentials.
My theme is Elementors Hello and I have a bunch of different plugins.
Hi, for some reason the login does not work on bbpress topic page.
I have this code in my functions.php file.
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_form_content' , 'bbp_goto_login_page' ) ;
function bbp_goto_login_page() {
echo '<p><a href="/login"><div class="gotologin">You must be logged in</div></a></p>' ;
}
This is working, but not the way I want. I would like it to only show if user is logged out and it should be visible on the topic page where there is normally the login form.
Is there something like bbp_theme_after_topic_content?
Tried googling, but could not find anything similar.
Hello,
I just uploaded the logo of my site. However I can see it on all my pages apart from the forum page. Can you help ? Thanks
wordpress version: 6.0.1
bbpress version: 2.6.9

Add this additional plugin
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Theme Support and there is a box to tick to get bbpress to work with the new 2022 block theme
My needs are simple – I’m setting up a site for my HOA, and I have no weird theme requirements.
So, I tried to set up bbpress on my fresh vanilla install of WP. I’m using 2022 theme. All the forum pages are blank. (/forums; /forum/…; etc)
What additional steps do I need to use in order to get the forums to actually display, given there is “nothing special required” to make bbpress work with any theme.

I don’t understand how to remove
Archivi Forum <— THIS

ok, I’ve found the problem, and this filter fixes
add_filter ('bbp_after_has_search_results_parse_args', 'rew_search') ;
function rew_search ($args) {
/*mods and above get permissions to see all from line 50 of \bbpress\includes\search/template.php which sets a list of $default['post_status']
//participants/spectators get $default['perm'] = 'readable' set instead of $default['post_status'].
'perm' is a wordpress wp_query setting, and wordpress does not have 'hidden' status, so allows hidden forums to show
//so if $default['perm'] is set, we add a 'post_status' as well to restrict to statuses user is allowed
*/
if (!empty($args['perm'])) {
$post_statuses = array(bbp_get_public_status_id()) ;
// Add support for private status
if ( current_user_can( 'read_private_topics' ) || current_user_can( 'read_private_forums' ) )
$post_statuses[] = bbp_get_private_status_id();
}
// Add support for hidden status
if ( current_user_can( 'read_hidden_forums' )) {
$post_statuses[] = bbp_get_hidden_status_id();
}
// Join post statuses together
$args['post_status'] = $post_statuses;
}
return $args ;
}
if you are using
bbp style pack
then this is included in version 5.0.8 just released
Otherwise put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use

I’ll update the bbpress trac ticket shortly
Still trying to customize bbpress, I’ve bumped into a little challenge with the topic reply headers which contain the date of reply and the reply number eg. #72.
I have made the background of the topic reply header white. However, I realized that there are border lines on the left and on the right which I could not remove after many attempts. See
Which one is stronger, leopard or hyena?
I think, my page would look nicer, and also I will be able to do more customization if those left-right border lines are removed.
I would appreciate any help in removing these border lines. Thanks in advance.
1. You can connect with participant/participant or keymaster/keymaster here
2. I should have said “plain” instead: WP + bbPress + 1 hidden forum + 1 public topen in forum
1. can’t see as I don’t have access
2. when you say ‘blank bbpress’ did you do the full tests above?
I did not see your answer. Sorry for that!
I reinstalled a blank bbPress, with the same issue.
You can see the hidden forum here with users keymaster/keymaster or participant/participant
