Thank you 🙂 I’ll look into and give bbPress a proper try.

[Robin W]

I am not a bbpress author, but had been a moderator here for 7 or more years.

bbpress continues to be maintained, but releases are generally not frequent.

bbpress works with wordpress 6.x.

bbpress is stable, indeed it is used by WordPress as the main support tool for plugins, themes and WordPress itself, and is written by some of the main WordPress contributors so complies with WordPress standards.

There are many additional plugins for it which add functionality and design features – indeed several are written by me 🙂

This is a WordPress error, usually associated with a failed nonce (short for ‘number once’).

These nonce keys are generated for your website to verify that, for example, a script is run by you, and not an external source. This prevents intruders from altering or abusing your forms, URLs, AJAX calls, etc.

amongst many times, a nonce will be generated when you land on a bbpress page with a form on it – eg a new topic or new reply form.

This article explains possible causes

fixing error

In your case I’d suspect that this is not caused by a plugin or theme, but rather through expiration of the nonce through either other actions eg possibly you moving away from the page creating the nonce and then going back to it, or possibly a memory limit.

I look at 2, 3 & 5 first

I have a problem with an errror message appearing when I’ve had a thread open for some time and then post an answer to that thread, an error message appears saying something like “Error: are you sure that is what you want to do?”. When I go back to the page in the browser and klick Send again, it works. The site has WP version 6.0 installed with bbPress version 2.6.9. Unfortunately I cannot post link to the site since it is on an intranet.

Greetings

I’m administrating a small forum currently on open source Vanilla, but they seem to discontinue their open source version and I’m looking for other solutions. Since we’re also already on WordPress bbPress seems like a choice to look into, but I’m worried we’ll get into the same situation again with the software being discontinued or outdated.

When I installed bbPress I noticed it said untested with the current version of WordPress, but also it does seem to be updated the past year so there may be no problem.

I need to ask though if bbPress is alive and planning to be alive for the future?
Are there any security concerns with it being updated so rarely or that’s perfectly fine?

Thank you in advance!

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress registration.

I’d sugggest you check that your site is sending emails, there are lots of plugins that do this, but maybe using

Check & Log Email

[Tasneem Bin Ahsan]

i just create a forum on my website. I think i did all configuration correctly. I follow a few tutorial from Youtube. Everything looks great. But when user tried to register my forum it’s did’nt work. The confirmation email never reached in the destinated email.

And if the user tried to register again with that email, it shows
“That email address has already been used. Please check your inbox for an activation email. It will become available in a couple of days if you do nothing.”

I checked up inbox and Spam, there is no email.

See this screnshoot https://prnt.sc/bTmtBROqOnFB

[Robin W]

ok, this is not a bbpress plugin.

I presume you mean

bbPress Integration

in which case contact learndash

Hi
I have created a forum, I have a course, but I just cannot get the forum to show on the course.

Ideally, I’d like the forum to be in a group, but can only find instructions on having a forum with a course. I have the course, I have the forum, but I just can’t get the forum to show on the course.

I’ve looked everywhere and spent all day trying to figure it out.

I use the bbpress plugin for Learndash, on WordPress.com

[jkessler]

I set up bbpress without any issues. My forum looks fine on the computer view, but it does not look right on mobile or notepad. I cannot find how to edit it. I tried a ccs that did not work and I tried changing the editing format to elementor, but that did not work either. Does anyone know how to edit the forum for mobile and notepad?
Thanks.

Can’t find anything in bbPress Notify. Giving up. 🙂

[Robin W]

I suspect you have a setting in bbpress notify to send advice to admins

Hello

There is an issue where I can not delete any BBPress/Wordpress user as when I do the server gives internal error 500.

Either from the Buddypress frontend or from the WordPress users admin panel.

I looked at the error logs and can see
“mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 31 seconds”

I tried updating this in apache to 60, but it seems to not have done anything.

Wordpress 6.0, Most recent bbPress version, https://lemonstograpes.com
Using Twenty-Seventeen

When a reply is posted, 2 email notifications are sent out to users: see #1 AND #2 below.

#1. email format (template): I want only this one to be sent! I created it in bbPress Notify (No spam).

Hello! A new reply has been posted by Jane Carole.

Excerpt

Source: Created by me in bbPress Notify
This one is sent out and has the correct format and contents.
It is the only one I want to send.

#2. email format (template): I do not want this one to be sent.

Jane Carole posted new reply:

Source: I don’t know where this one is coming from.
It is automatically sent right after #1 is sent.

In summary:

I need to stop #2, but don’t know how. I think maybe it is the bbpress default email text. (I used bbPress Style pack, Subscription emails tab, and checked the box that allows me to enter different email body text, but the changes I make (in instructions 4-9 of that tab) aren’t applied and used even though I save them. The default text keeps appearing.

I thought that The bbPress Notify plugin would stop any other email notifications (I marked override subscriptions), but for some reason that isn’t happening.

Help please! (I am posting this again because for some reason when I posted it earlier today it was wrongly marked as spam!)

[Robin W]

bbpress changed the way it did subscriptions in 6.x, and not sure if Pascal’s plugin allows for this. That might explain the issues.

bbpress allows users to subscribe/unsubscribe to individual forums, so that is not part of that plugin.

[stuartataltitude]

You’re correct! If I deactivate bbPress Tookit the column disappears. Guess I need to report the issue to Pascal Casier instead? However he hasn’t updated his plug-in for 4 years so probably no great hope. I think I used it to allow users to subscribe to individual forums. Is this possible in other ways or with other plugins?

[Robin W]

ok, that is not bbpress, suspect it is bbPress Toolkit doing that, try decativating it to see if that column disappears

[Robin W]

ok, I’ll take a look at where that stat is listed.

can you just confirm that this is a technical issue – ie all the current subscribers are getting their emails, it is just that bbpress is also sending another 20 emails to empty addresses, and the number is wrong?

[stuartataltitude]

My website keswickmountaineeringclub.com uses forums, e.g. to log information about rock climbing meets. The Meets forum says it has 113 subscribers, but if you list the subscribers and count them you find there are 93. If you list the notification emails sent out you see (scattered throughout the list of emails in the email log) 20 mails that have been sent to an empty (missing) email address. I’m guessing, but maybe when deleting some old club members the email notification list has not been updated correctly? It looks as if the list of email addresses used to send out notifications is not synchronised with the list of subscribed members. Is there a way to fix this?

I’m currently using WordPress 6.0. bbpress version 2.6.9. bbP private groups 3.9.1. bbp style pack 5.0.5. bbPress Toolkit 1.0.12.

[Robin W]

thanks for posting. The site needs access to replicate so cannot be reproduced without.

bbpress does not have a WYSIWYG editor by default, so what code/plugin are you using to get this? I’d suspect your theme may be doing this, and therefore may be creating the problem.

You also have an error in your theme (Use of undefined constant bbp_reply_id ), which is either code you have added to what looks like a parent theme, or an error in the theme itself.

I’d suggest that you prove this by

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 if it is theme contact the theme author as it is a paid theme

[sbask]

Even after checking the box to not moderate registered users, the bbpress software after about 6 months moderates a posting. Is there some way to get the system to not moderate anyone who is registered on the site?

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress includes a function called bbp_make_clickable that is used to turn regular URLs in topic and reply contents into anchors.

You would need to unhook it to prevent it from happening.

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 40 );
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 40 );

[sonalsinha21]

Hi,

Normally bbpress changes any URL to link or gives img tag etc.

Is it possible that we don’t have anything visual and have only plain text based response?

I am asking this because people respond to support forum with all sorts of links which goes to 404 on a later date.

Having it as a code based and not actual link will mean no more 404 in future.

[neon67]

On reddit ))))) Are these rumors?
Okay, what’s the best way integrate bbpress with Guttenberg’ blocks today?
Only shortcodes or some other method…

[coopersita]

Looks like the user description no longer shows on the profile page. You can see in my profile https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/coopersita/ that the bio I added is not showing under Profile.

I’ve checked the templates, and it should be showing, but it’s not.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
