Hello, I’m installing bbPress on wordpress 2022 theme and bbPress doesn’t seem to work. It shows empty pages. Is it not support on this theme?
Hello,
We are eagerly evaluating bbPress as an alternative to our current Facebook secret group. Initially we came across BuddyPress, but it seems overly high priced for our needs, so bbPress is a welcome alternative.
A critical feature to us is to have a notification modal ala Facebook, where users are made aware of all posts and replies.
From my research, not exhaustive, but I like to think pretty thorough, I have not been able to find anything to achieve this. Lots of plugins for email notifications, but this is less appealing for us. Hoping someone has an insight to set me on the right direction.
We are picturing adding a button the navigation. On click, it pops up a list of recent posts and indicates if it is new or already read by you.
Hi
Im working on this on file loop-single-topic.php
How can i show only user avatar ?
as in the code above this line show avatar AND user name :
<span class=”bbp-topic-freshness-author-av”><?php bbp_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 48 , ‘type’ => ‘avatar’ ) ); ?></span>
How can i show only avatar on left side and on right side date of last post AND last poster name
like this bbpress site for instance:
https://olympus.crumina.net/groups/hiking-route/forum/
Thanks
So I have the issue resolved.
I checked the box to let bbPress Notify (no spam) “Override subscriptions” so that this plugin handles those replies.
Topics or replies not showing on participant profile/dashboard bar. It only shows dashboard and then profile. However, they are both showing for moderators.Please help!
Wordpress version 5.9.2
bbPress version 2.6.9

I am using bbpress notify (no spam). I just dropped the no spam part in the post.
I am ok with the Bcc. Just need to figure out how to ensure bbpress notify (no spam) does not interfere with the notifications from subscriptions.
The alternative would be default all users to be subscribers to all forums. Is there a plugin for that? Or else may need some code or direct database changes to implement that.
I had NOT set bbpress notify to override bbpress subscriptions, so not sure why it was still disabling those notifications.
I suspect that plugin assumes you want to override the subscriptions – but no idea.
However, the email seem to have been addressed to noreply@domain, with the user email Bcc’ed
Yes this is how bbpress now does this. The idea is that many mailservers chop lots of emails being sent at once, so this avoids that pitfall in theory. The fact that the noreply goes nowhere is not an issue as such, and you’ll find that many sites use this method.
You can use this to amend that, though old this plugin still works
AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions
and if you want to amend the sending email use
bbp style pack
and dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails
Finally you might want to try
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ as a better version of the notify plugin
I disabled bbpress Notify and found that the notifications to replies/subscription is working.

Is that how the notifications are sent? Not sure where the noreply@ was set, there is no such email in the system, so it will bounce.

That is the default bbpress display 🙂 🙂
Hi
I noticed that “: )” doesnt create a smiley on a standard bbpress forum, but it does on this official forum 🙂 how can i have the same ?
also how to show emoticons on create / reply form ?
thank you
ok, If you are certain that
1. the box is being ticked (by default it is left blank), and that
2. emails are working from within bbpress (ie if someone else subscribes to the topic they get an email)
then the standard fault finding applies…
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

Yes, that is standard bbpress behaviour – replies are not sent to the author on the grounds that he does not need to be told that he has posted a reply 🙂
I think bbpress notify follows that principal as well.
There is a filter that could be used to change this behaviour if it is critical, but it will probably annoy as many posters as those who like it. Personally I have enough emails 🙂
If you like, I’ll take a more detailed look, but it may not be a free answer.
Hi,
I am using bbPress and also bbPress Notify. The Notify plug in is set to notify users of creation of a New post. While only administrators are notified of replies.
The email notification to administrators works perfectly and all new posts and replies are notified.
However, replies are not being sent to the original poster even if the “Notify replies” box is checked.
I can’t see those email in the email logs in the Post SMTP plugin that I use to handle emails.
So it looks like the email is not being initiated even.
bbpress.org forum style so good. How can i make same this forum. ?
works fine on my test site

Is this plugin not compatible with Enfold?
or you could ask
is enfold not compatible with this plugin?
check out
https://kriesi.at/support/topic/getting-bbpress-to-work-with-the-enfold-theme/
and perhaps raise with enfold as this is a paid theme
bbpress just uses the .body font from the wp-content.css file.
You could style it using
.mce-content-body p {
font-size: 25px;
}
but this will not save to the post, it will just be what is shown in the form
Hi
Is there a way to show similar topics at the end of a topic ?
i know it might be an issue for performance when a forum has a lot of topics
An idea of the cost & requirements of doing this as a paid job ?
Easier alternative : show the last 5 topics of the same forum : how to do this ?
Thanks 🙂
Hi @robin-w

Hello,
On my staging site, k9fitness1dev.wpengine.com/ for my client, I installed BBPress. The forum page works fine, but when I try to open a topic page, it shows the content from blog posts that were published a super long time ago. I tried unpublishing the blog posts, but it still shows these contents.
I am using WP version 5.8, bbPress 2.6.9, the enfold theme which is to date, and I believe that this glitch has something to do with the Avia advanced page builder, because the content that is generating shows a bunch of short codes that look like avia shortcodes.
I tried to repair the forums, under the forum settings, but this did not cause any changes.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi
Unlike other forums, bbpress doesnt give the creation date of a topic, or did i miss something ?
in the topics list, there should be the date :
Started by : Nicolas July 8, 2020
like this forum for instance : https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/499-feature-suggestions/
the creation date is a major information how can i do that ?
thank you !
I use the newest versions of wordpress, bbpress, buddypress and the Responsive theme.
I can’t find a way for participants to add more than one link or picture to forum posts or replies without the posts going into moderation. Where can I set the threshold? Is there any plugin for that?
Moderators can do that.
add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3 );
function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
$words = array(
'Forums' => 'Forum'
);
$translated = str_replace( array_keys($words), $words, $translated );
}
return $translated;
}
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
