I’ve tried everything I can think of to get the date to appear on posts. Nothing seems to work.
The site I’m working on is https://rosecityyachtclub.org/ WP v. 6.0.1, BBPress v. 2.6.9. Theme is Lyrical and parent theme is Primer.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Is bbPress no longer being updated?
It shows Last Updated: 8 months ago Untested with your version of WordPress
We are on WordPress 6.01.
I want to buy a theme for bbPress but am afraid it won’t work since it hasn’t been updated in so long 🙂
ok, so to restrict :
dashboard>forums>all forums>edit the forum you want>right hand side you will find a box called ‘Forum Moderators’ add his name
Then make him a participant.
see thsi for role fresponsibilities
bbPress User Roles and Capabilities
I’m not sure that this wil let him create forums – but I suppose I would ask if he is that dangerous, maybe that’s something he should be asking you to do 🙂
no problem – do come back if I can help further.
You might also want to look at
bbp style pack
It has loads of stuff that helps bbpress
ok, now that we have checked the permalinks and the slugs, then 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

Hello,
well, it’s my turn to equip my sites with bbpress. Bigger and smaller problems are slowly solving. Question: what theme is used for the bbpress site at all. And is there something like a way to create a clone of bbpress.org, with my own content of course. I think this site is very good as a start and also practical for everyday life, because it shows many possibilities what bbpress can do. Therefore: is there something like a standard installation with dummy text? Would be wonderful.
Best regards, Rainer

Greetings! I am admittedly very green, but I’ve read several set-up guides for setting up a bbpress forum and followed the instructions to the letter. Yet when I click on the forum link, it takes me to a blank page. I feel like there’s something very obvious I must be missing but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it could be.
*replying to myself to see if this same behaviour happens on bbpress.org
original post tags:
-participant roles
-single topic tags
-tags
-topic tags
-troubleshooting
-user roles
this reply’s tags:
-tags
*confirmed to delete the original post tags and replace with the single reply tag. this is the behaviour i’m trying to fix for the site i’m working on! 🙂
Hi there,
I’m trying to find a solution to the problem of participants being able to remove single topic tags by simply removing them from the “Tags” input field on the reply-to form.
I’ve found this thread that clearly explains the issue
Topic tags deleted by other participants
and offers a solution that is unfortunately not working on my end.
My form-reply.php currently has this line:
<?php if ( bbp_allow_topic_tags() && current_user_can( 'assign_topic_tags', bbp_get_topic_id() )) : ?>
which I tried to replace with:
<?php if ( bbp_allow_topic_tags() && current_user_can( 'assign_topic_tags', bbp_get_topic_id() ) && current_user_can('moderate') ) : ?>
to no avail.
Has anyone solved this issue? Would love some guidance here! 🙂
so the plugin is called bbpress which isn’t a word which translates, so what do you mean ??????
So there is some code in bbpress that can fix the link (I am guessing by changing something in the database?).
yes it is the function ‘bbp_update_topic_walker ‘ called in my code 🙂 🙂
I’ll look further at why it isn’t recalculating based in that info
Still the same result with the new code.
But I noticed that emptying the spam folder causes “Last Post” link to change to the correct value. So there is some code in bbpress that can fix the link (I am guessing by changing something in the database?).
Thank you, Robin. I added the snipped, and it partially worked. The anchor text “time ago” now reflects the time of the latest good post. However the URL is for the latest spam post.
I started digging a bit through bbpress code. It looks like if the fix was inside bbp_topic_freshness_link() it would be much easier to test, as we would not need to wait for a new spam post to test the fix. And perhaps make decisions based on the wp_post status having the value “publish”. This way the solution would not be specific to Akismet. But I am really too new to WordPress coding and bbPress to be making this kind of changes myself.
just posting this link here for reference for me 🙂
Akismet causing “recent topics” problem?
yes it does (and does so on here as well!).
I’m just a helper here, not a bbpress author.
I don’t run akismet on my test site. Are you able to replicate the problem so that we can check a fix if I am able to work up some code?
I have a WP-Members profile that shows up when a logged-in user chooses “My Profile” from the drop down list on the Home tab on my website:
https://lemonstograpes.com/home
(WordPress 6.0)
I would like the user’s WP profile information to have a link that would take the user to their bbPress Forum profile. I have no idea how to do this (not a programmer).
My current solution is to include the following text at the bottom of the user’s WP-Members profile:
(Note: User Profile information that provides forum related detail is accessed by clicking the picture [avatar] that appears beside a Forum post.)
@robin-w so looks like it was not working in my visual editor within bbpress but when i click on the text editor it does work. UGH, didnt think about that.Next question is there a way to make it work with visual editor? if not its okay but most people use the visual editor on bbpress instead of the text one is why i ask. Thanks again!!
@Ricsca2 You made my day!
It worked also for importing PHPBB 3.x to BBpress
Thank you
Hello Robin, Thanks for the quick reply. I have that plugin but it doesnt seem to work at all. I cant even see that it has any settings anywhere. I do have active right now, WP with Avada Theme, BBPress, bbp Style pack, bbpress notify, GD bbpress Attachments, and Ultimate Member and a few of its extensions for bbpress as it is a private forum.
on bbp style pack there is a check box to make @mentions help, but says you need buddypress or bbp-mentions-email-notifications which I have tried that plugin and it doesnt work either.
Would love to use your plugin but i cant get it to work at all.
I see on GIST there is some code for a bp-custom.php file which includes this
<?php
/** You could put this in the bp-custom.php file
* @see https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/
*/
function custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts( $retval = false ) {
if ( function_exists( 'bbpress' ) && is_bbpress() ) {
$retval = true;
}
return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts' );
Hello All,
I have a forum that is not allowing the @mentions as it will write it in plain text but wont hyperlink it or bring up a populated set of members with what i type in at all. I would like to allow it to gather any user to tag them and receive a notification of a mention of there username. Anything I can do or check for this please? Thanks
I fully understand – you have an issue where one forum is not showing. Given that showing these forums are settings within your theme or LMS, not within bbpress, then it most likely that it is a setting somewhere within this.
so you can try one last thing
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help
then if you srea still convinced that it is not theme or plugin, you can prove this using

sorry, ‘bbPress – Report Content’ is not a bbPress authored plugin – you would need to raise this with the plugins author.

Hi! I have problem in bbpress forum, we have bbpress forum on our page on this link https://bmedic-online.cz/diskuzni_fora/. You can see whole forum, but in individual categories you have no access, but when you click “Biologie” or “Chemie” it announces you that you have no privilege. Every category works, but “Fyzika” doesnt. Even if you try to enter “Fyzika”, none announcement appear. I am including screenshots of it. On screenshots on “forum.png” you can see whole forum, and when i click on category “Chemie” and “Biologie” it forwards to forum depicted on screen “chemie_forum.png” and “biologie_forum.png”. But when i click on “Fyzika” category, nothing shows up, and it is interesting that icons in admin panel dont show up (in red rectangle on “fyzika_forum.png”).
I dont understand what happend, nobody changed anything.
bbpress version is updated to newest, and wordpress is 5.9.
Link to google drive for screens is here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fKEU15U9GzHaC9KwXJ_XhGe8mSI7HVeC?usp=sharing
Can somebody help me?
