if you subscribe to a topic, then you receive notifications of replies
if you subscribe to a forum, you get notification of new topics

if unsubscribing isn’t working, then it might be something extra that is added, 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.

Then come back

Hi

The wpforo creator says there is no tool for this :

Hello everyone,

I have been using simple membership + BB press to create forums only for members. Now when nonmembers click each topic, they would see the following message:

“PRIVATE, You do not have permission to view this forum.”

I would like to customize this message and say “This forum is visible only to this group members, please click here and sign up for this group” something like that. I reached out to Simple Membership and I was told to inquire BB press and/or use Loco Translate plugin.

Also, can anyone tell me how to make anonymous topics?

Any input will be greatly appreciated. I am self-taught and I have no coding background so a detailed explanation will be appreciated 🙂

Here are the details of my website:
WordPress 5.9.2 running Roseta theme.
BB press Version 2.6.9

Thank you!

Hi there.

The BBPress Moderation plugin has been discontinued.
Is there another way that we can approve Topic replies made by other people?

This is SO IMPORTANT. Please.

Thank you.

Wordpress Version: 5.9.2
BBPress version: 2.6.9

Thank you but the bbpress moderation tools is not longer available. Any other suggestions?

[Robin W]

bbpress uses the WordPress moderation

dashboard>settings>discussion

but you also might like to look at

I have the most recent version of bbPress and just set up a forum on there. How do I have posts be moderated and not posted by users if they use certain words? Need some help here.

[user4forum]

Therefore asking this question on both buddypress.org and bbpress.org support forums. Wondering that this issue has not been yet reported.

If bbpress is enabled hidden bp-groups are not visible for member/moderator or administrator wihin own groups in BP overview page. The number of hidden groups is reported correct under ‘My Groups’ but no icons are shown. Hidden groups are only viewable and accessible via search function.

Tested with these two plugins only activated. Standard WP Install without ‘bp-custom.php’.

Environment:
bbPress 2.6.9 (2.7-alpha), BP 10.0 – 10.2.0, WP 5.9.2, PHP 7.4 (Themes: WP TwentyTwentyTwo and BuddyX)

Hi Mike

No, bbpress

thanks

[DeepBlue]

bbPress will never die. It will only get better.

Thank you, everyone, again, for being patient and for your interest in bbPress. It’s a pretty cool piece of software with some of the best contributors and forum moderators around! I’m working on bbPress everyday, sometimes in my head, and sometimes on other projects that bbPress will inherit someday. It’s always on my mind, even if the commit log doesn’t show it. 💕

Beautiful words John James

Thank you a lot for your great commitment

I love bbPress too and i think there is one lacking feature : bbpress themes, other forum softwares have themes, and i can provide one theme myself, this bbpress official forum has a theme too, that would help newcomers and those without dev skills who cant customize bbpress, as we must admit at first install the output is not great, without a huge CSS work, so as my designers have spent almost one month working on bbpress design, i would be happy to provide a theme, and im sure others would too

or maybe i missed something and there is place where people can find bbpress themes ?

Have a great day

Best to create a staging site for your bbPress install and try to import your IPB. I remember a lot of trial and error to get as much as I did working, so you might need to write some code. But it _should_ work for forums and posts – at least, it did for the one migration I needed to do 3.5 years ago.

[DeepBlue]

Hi
Have you managed to convert to bbpress ?
thanks

[DeepBlue]

Hi Dinsl

Did you solve this ? i also need to convert an invision forum to bbpress

thanks !

[Mike Witt]

I’m just looking for any ideas on how to debug this. I don’t see how it would be a bbPress problem, but on the BuddyPress forum they basically said “Ask bbPress and GeneratePress.” So I’m doing that.

WordPress 5.9.2, BuddyPress 10.1.0, bbPress 2.6.9
(I haven’t upgraded to BP 10.2.0 yet, but I don’t see any fixes that seems to apply to this.)
It happens “once in a while” since upgrading to BP 10.1.0. (Four times since March 9th.)
It *might* be related to email notifications (mentions?) in a bbPress closed topic.

Hello.

What is the name of the default theme at bbpress.org/forums?

[havealookhere]

Hi all,

I have some questions regarding bbpress because some things are driving me nuts.

1)

I wanted to move my bbpress from a website to another website with a different domain. I have searched a lot, but till now there is no good description about moving bbpress. Is it still like there is no plugin or tool for this?

So I have exported the forums and topics and replies with the “Tools export” and imported them with “tools import”. Ofcourse it did not work. So i tried to use the repair settings of bbpress but with no luck. The recalculating stuff breaks the forum even more. At the end I had to open every single topic, put it in trash. save it, then re-post it. To get it to work.

So when going to “tools->bbpress” the repair and recalculating is not working very great. How can I get this to work? Because, when I recalculate the freshnesh link for example, it removes all freshnesh links from the forum. It is only coming back visible when i add a new topic to a forum.

I am very happy its only a small forum because I can play around to understand the functionallity. But, I am starting to get concerned what will happen when the forum will become bigger. Can someone explain to me, how to approach this situation?

As a theme I use Sydney pro. I have searched if there are any conflicts but couldnt find any. Does someone know about problems with bbpress and this theme?

I really like bbpress since its easy to make it look like I want but I dislike everything what I have experienced. To be honest I think, I do things wrong, but I cannot find any explaination to do it better.

Can someone give me an advice?

Oh and last part. It is not possible to import the replies since they are not visible in the dashboard. When I import them the published and all link show a number but the list keeps empty and it breaks the forum. There should be an easier way to do this I hope.

So long story short, how do you all manage your bbpress forum and how do you fix this kind of problems?

Sorry for any bad English.

Regards

Jap

Hi

I’d like to add a link “Edit my profile” in Login widget as users dont guess they have to click on their username to access their profile

Right now login widget shows :

Username
Logout

I would like :

Username
Edit my profile
Logout

How can i get that ?

I noticed bbpress official forum had exactely the same idea and did this in their user dropdown menu 🙂

thank you !

[DeepBlue]

I agree with you, but i tested bbpress with the top 20 wordpress themes, and confirmed that user profile and search pages were not detected by any theme

all other pages are detected except those 2

it’s like those 2 pages don’t belong to the same template than other bbpress pages in the core code

[Robin W]

that would tend to indicate an issue with bbpress and elementor working together, which I have already seen with their Hello theme.

bbpress works to WordPress standards, many theme builders exist because they see WordPress as a restriction and feel they can offer improvements, so stretch and alter what WordPress does, which can then can make plugins have issues.

Because it is open source, and there are no definitive rules, it is wrong to say that it is a bbpress problem, or indeed an elementor problem or a divi problem, each makes their own code to work, but you cannot guarantee interoperability of everything with everything.

[DeepBlue]

Hi

I is actually not a divi problem

It is the same problem with various themes

We have the same problem using different themes with Elementor

It is a bbpress problem

[Robin W]

Sorry – you seem to want to abuse me as being stupid. I just help out here for free so phrases such as

I do not see the connection with the question ever.

and

Certainly I took a while to understand what you wanted to explain but I did it.

are not welcome.

I hope you are able to sort your issue, which may be site related or that you are doing something I am not.

Maybe try and do here what you are doing on your test site – this site is bbpress.
