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
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 come back
sorry, ‘bbPress – Report Content’ is not a bbPress authored plugin – you would need to raise this with the plugins author.
Hello
The above issues I have resolved using the following plugin.
Plugin name: bbPress – Report Content

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?
Hi,
I work with avada theme. Users can login and then they have more content. What I need is a forum and a chat for the users to cummunicate with all or private. Is this possible with BBPress ? And is it possible that forum and chat don’t need a seperate login because they are alerady logged in as a member from the site ?
Thanks !
My post disappeared and I’m unable to post it again: I’ll try again
I messed around with the conditions in the theme builder last night and I found working solutions 🙂
Elementor template for single topic and single forum
This template will work for single topics (those pages where you read a topic and can reply) and single forum (where you see a list of topics, sometime called boards or category). Both of these act as single posts. Make a Single post template according to your needs and in the container/section where you want bbPress itself put an Archive Posts widget and set the skin to Full Content. It’s going to look like your blog posts in Elementor editor, but it’s normal.
Save the template with the following conditions:
Include: All Singular
Exclude: Posts (unless you want the same template for your posts)
Exclude: any custom post types you may have
Exclude: Pages (just to be safe)
Exclude: you may need to exclude additional things according to your needs.
Elementor template for forum index
This template will work for the forum index only. Create and Archive template according to your needs. In the container/section where you want bbPress itself put bbPress forum index shortcode which can be found here: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/
Save the template with the following conditions:
Include: Forums Archive
bbp style pack is a must have plugin with any bbpress forum !
Thanks again Robin. I tried Hello Elementor theme plus your plugin. Unfortunately it doesn’t work, and Hello Elementor seems to also breaks the template on forums which is pretty odd as the template works with Underscores theme.
I’m thinking now if there would be a way to manually put the template into bbPress files. Probably not XD
if you are using the hello theme, then try
Hello Elementor bbPress fix
This may be more of a request for Elementor, but I thought I try and see if someone figured this out.
From this topic here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-elementor/
I was able to make Elementor work on forum index, forums and the list of topics inside those, but not for single topic (those you can reply on). Technically those must be posts and post comments.
It’s not entirely essential, but would be great if there was a way to do this. I use a barebones theme (_s) and the theme parts themselves are built with Elementor’s theme builder and custom CSS. So without a template for single topics I’m unable to get a header or a sidebar on those.
Thanks in advance!
looks like you could use this, but check that bbpress is covered.

Sorry in advance to what seems like a basic question, I just can’t find anything or the app name for some reason.
Is there an app for bbpress to use on mobile? So my forum users can just login via mobile and reply in the app?
I’ve googled and not been able to find anything, not anything recent.
so you are happy that in the forum display, the topic content box will be there, but show nothing ?
for 1,3&4
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input[type="text"] {
width: 100% !important;
}
div.bbp-submit-wrapper {
width: 100%;
}
add this to the custom css of your theme
No, and SiteGround checked their settings before putting me on to you.
TBH not convinced it’s a problem with BBPRess – they may have just wanted me off their back.
Too cynical?
Can I PM you a password so you can check it out?
Thanks
I have a problem with bbpress forums at https://swift.ayrshirealba.org.
I’ve trying to get forums set up, and they work on my local development machine.
When I then deploy the site, the forums don’t work. Once logged on the user is presented with a ‘Nothing here’ message when they try to access the forum.
Mysteriously, after a couple of days, the forums start to work. No changes on my part, no changes at the host, just the passage of time…
I’ve checked with tech support for my hosting (SiteGround), and they can’t see any errors in the database or the site set-up. I’ve disabled all other plugins.
SiteGround think it’s a problem with BbPress. I’ve searched the forums, and I can’t find anyone else with the same problem.
I’m using SiteGround’s staging system do deploy the site. I’m on to staging 46. Maybe that gives you a clue to how much this is bugging me!
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help!
Hello, buddies. I hope everyone is doing well. I’m posting this because there’s a need for it. On my Windows 10 PC, the “bbpress 2.6.6” installation always fails with a “problem opening file for writing” notice. I have no idea why this is taking place or how to resolve the problem. I tried my hardest to solve the problem using the advice in this article (such as performing a new install after restarting the computer, disabling the antivirus software, etc.), but I was unable to do so. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks, just tested with just bbpress and agree it does disappear.
I had bbp private groups enabled, although no settings affecting, but with this it shows.
I’ll try and take a look tomorrow (10pm in UK at the moment) to see what private groups does that is fixing that !
Thanks for checking into it.
I only had bbPress installed and activated. I’ve switched to various themes including Twenty Twenty. I ran the Health and Troubleshooting, but everything seems fine. I also set up a local installation with the same result. There are no error logs either.
Not sure what could cause it if it’s only happening to me. The issue does not happen if the category and sub-forums are public.
