I’m having the exact same issue with the newest bbpress and wordpress, trying to import from simple:press.
I have used this tool some other time, on older versions, and then in started at least.
Did you ever find out why it doesn’t start, or did you give up like I’m about to do?
buddyboss is a paid plugin that ties to the free open source bbpress and buddypress plugins. As such I can’t help further, suggest you contact their support.
Using the clues in this topic, this is what I have working for ANY FSE Block theme with the wonderful style-pack plugin:
function fse_bbpress_template( $template ) {
$template = ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-canvas.php';
return $template;
}
function fse_bbp_theme_compat( $template ) {
$template= BSP_PLUGIN_DIR.'/templates/bbpress.php';
return $template;
}
if ( ! function_exists( 'fse_bbpress_support' ) ) {
function fse_bbpress_support() {
// gt current theme dir
$theme_dir = get_template_directory();
// Detect if FSE theme or traditional.
// FSE Block themes require a theme.json file.
// Use that to check instead of theme name or parent theme name.
// Perhaps a better method is available, but this works for now.
$fse_theme = false;
if ( file_exists( $theme_dir.'/theme.json' ) ) { $fse_theme = true; }
if ( !$fse_theme ) { return; }
// disabled because it doesn't seem to be needed, regardless of style pack
// $bsp_style_settings_theme_support['twentytwentytwo_activate'] setting
// template-canvas.php seems to be included by default
//add_filter( 'template_include', 'fse_bbpress_template' );
add_filter ( 'bbp_template_include_theme_compat' , 'fse_bbp_theme_compat' );
}
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'fse_bbpress_support' );
and this little helper function helped me figure out what template was getting loaded in the first place:
function fse_bbpress_print_template() {
if ( is_bbpress() ) {
//echo at the bottom of the page visibly
echo get_page_template();
// or echo the template silently as an HTML comment
// echo '<!-- ' . get_page_template() . ' -->';
}
}
// DISABLE THIS ACTION HOOK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! DO NOT LEAVE IT ACTIVE WHEN DEBUGGING IS DONE!
add_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_loop', 'fse_bbpress_print_template' );
I’ve tried this on a few different FSE Block themes, and BBPress is displaying properly, and the style tweaks from the wonderful Style-Pack plugin are being applied.
Like I said, it’s working regardless of the $bsp_style_settings_theme_support[‘twentytwentytwo_activate’] setting within the BSP plugin, but it uses the template from the plugin so it would still need to be installed an active, even without any styling tweaks applied.
It’s not a permanent solution, but perhaps aspects of this could be applied to the BSP plugin, or your own custom solution.
For what its worth … when it comes to breadcrumbs I am using these two plugins together:
Breadcrumb NavXT
Breadcrumb NavXT bbPress Extensions
I have sub forums and it all works well, once it is set up correctly.
Hello,
Thank you for such great plugin, very promising so far.
I have a few questions regarding login/ register. Yes, I have searched through the documentations and support but could not find any answer regarding these.
Installed theme/ plugins: free Astra theme, wp 6.0.2, bbpress 2.6.9, bbp style pack 5.0.8.
1. I have set up login box in the sidebar, and I would like to remove the default login box below topics/ posts. How is this done?
2. What is the best way to reduce the size of the login background box? I have attempted using SiteOrigin but when I it I’m shown the hover attribute so I can’t identify it to make the adjustment.
3. I would like to also try placing login link in below the main menu (like its done here in bbpress forum). How is this done? I do have “bbp style pack” plugin installed, but it places the login in the main menu bar, which I do not want.
Thank you in advance.
or you could just display the bbpress breadcrumb by by changing the css file, or putting this in the custom css
.bbp-breadcrumb {
display: block !important;
padding-top: 20px;
}
your theme is hiding the bbpress breadcrumbs in
https://renaloo.com/wp-content/themes/digiqole-child/assets/css/custom.css line 2281
This function will add a reference to the breadcrumb
add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_topic' , 'rew_forum') ;
function rew_forum () {
echo '<div class="rew_forum">' ;
$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id() ;
$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ;
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( bbp_get_forum_permalink( $forum_id ) ) . '" class="bbp-breadcrumb-forum">' . bbp_get_forum_title( $forum_id ).'</a>' ;
echo '</div>' ;
}
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
Code Snippets
At a guess, I’d say that bbPress, like WordPress, uses oEmbed to embed media. WP maintains a list of oEmbed providers whose URLs will automatically be converted to media embeds. The URL in your screenshot looks like it’s a custom CDN hosting an mp4 file, which likely can’t be converted this way. To test this, try using a YouTube video’s URL instead. You may use WPTrains forum to understand further.
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?
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?

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
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?
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!

3. bbpress follows the rules in dashboard>settings>discussion
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.
from bbpress or a wordpress registration I believe, so if you’ve signed up to worpdress to log say a call in other pkigins
your trheme is adding this – try
#bbpress article ul li:before {
display: none;
}
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;
}
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
