If are using the Divi theme (or a child theme of this theme) there is an issue whereby bbpress Profiles and bbpress search may not work properly

If you have issues with either of these, please change the following Divi theme settings:

1. In Dashboard> Divi> Theme options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear

2. In Dashboard> Divi> > Theme Options > Performance> Dynamic CSS option> set to Disabled

3. THEN critically you need to clear any server side caching AND clear your browser cache.

Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed

Hi.
I’m running BBpress (Version 2.6.11) on NewOrleansSaints.dk with the DIVI theme.
LINK: NewOrleansSaints.dk

If you click on a users profile link in the widgets the profile is displayed, but seems to be broken from the design.

What can I do to fix this issue ?

[Robin W]

If you use the bbpress profile rather than the wordpress one, it lists all topics and replies by a user – just click on a user link in the forums to see.

you can use

bbp style pack

(which also has lots of add-on features) to set the default profile to bbpress

see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

For ranking you have

bbPress Voting

and/or

bbp user ranking

also if you want users to add information about themselves, then

bbp profile information

Hello,
No links, as we are not yet far enough to be stuck there, but the website is a wildlife travel blog and marketplace (as well as members area). I am using a plugin called Armember to create a few members areas within my site. I am using bbpress for much of the stuff that the members can do (mostly discussion forums of various kinds)

I am looking for two things, I found small plugin extensions for BBpress for each, but both have generated errors, and the second crashed the whole website.

Firstly, I am looking for a plugin which will list all contributions that a member makes, on their profile page. There are going to be a variety of forums as well as direct contact, but I am eager to allow people to have a kind of simple blog within their profile. I found “posts on profile” plugin to do this. This way, any post made on any forum, will be listed. Does anyone known another plugin which would do the same thing? Posts on profile is 10 years old, and so not surprisingly, it is causing errors. Alternatively, is there some sort of code I can add, which will do the job without a plugin? cant believe that this is a rare need?

The other thing I was looking for, was the ability for readers to be able to rank posts – BBp core has this capability, but on installing BBp core, the whole website crashed instantly. As such, rather than trying to work out what plugin is crashing with it, it is likely to be better to find another. I am simply wanting to be able to give people the ability to rank other peoples posts, so that we can sort on a sensible metric (this cant be unique to BBP Core)

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello

I am not very experienced in coding, as the page has been built by an agency.
Means that the changes that now have to be placed has to be learned the hard way 🙂
But the forum here gave me already some helpful inputs.

As we are running a wordpress site including a forum, there is still some adaptation to be done.
To give you a bit of insights. The versions we are running:

How can I set the default style setting of the visual editor to it’s standard?
It shall only be the buttons within the visual editor and not the ones for the rest of the forum.

Actually the button settings are inherited form the customized theme and it looks horrible within the editor.

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

[WPabmm]

Issue: bbPress User Roles and Hidden BuddyPress Group Forums

I’ve encountered a problem where bbPress user roles cannot be edited, which creates a conflict when using bbPress forums within hidden BuddyPress Groups.

The Problem:

Members of hidden BuddyPress Groups can read the associated group forums but cannot post.
The rest of BuddyPress and bbPress functionality works as expected, but this limitation seems to stem from the bbPress Participant role.

What I’ve Tried:

I attempted to modify the Participant role using the Members plugin, but bbPress roles appear to be non-editable.
According to a support topic on Members, this restriction was recently enforced by bbPress.

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/members-plugin-unable-to-edit-bbpress-plugin-roles/

Question:

Does anyone know how to override or adjust bbPress roles?

[missioninvictus]

Searching this forum gave the answer.
The Keymaster was missing ad with the advice to install the bbp Stlye Pack, this role could have been set.

The tricky point for me is the fact, that depending on the view that is used, one might not see the Forum role, that is different as the one of the Site Role. The classic view had to be set first in the Users->All Users view to discover that.

If somebody else is struggling with the same issue, then follow these steps:
1. Jump to Users->All Users menu and change there the view in the upper right corner to “classic view”.
2. Verify the “Forum Role” column if your current user has the Keymaster priviledge.
3. If the Keymaster priviledge is missing, install the bbp Style Pack Plugin.
4. Once ppb Style Pack is installed jump to the menu Settings->bbp Stlye Pack and there to the Tab bbPress Bug Fixes and scroll to the Fix for the Keymaster. Tik it and press at the bottom on Save

This solved at least my issue 🙂

Hi

I am not very talented in wordpress. The site has even been built by wordpress themself. But actually the support of wordpress has diverted me to you, to solve my issues.

Having mentioned my poor knowledge, I have discovered, that on our page the plugin of bbPress is installed and running in the version 2.6.11 and it is active.
But the menu “Forum” is not shown in either the admin interface style “classic” nor in the “default” style.
I was using as well the stating page to disable all possible plugin’s. Without success.

Is there a concurring plugin such as memberpress?
How can I make the menu visible to admin the forum?

Thanks for any valuable hint.

[sylvianna]

Hi

How did you solve the problem because my specific moderators receive all the notifications from all our forums and not just the ones they are attributed to.

Thank you

NB : I use BBPress, BBpress Notify (no spam) and LearDash LMS BBpress integration.

I am a beginner in wordpress and bbPress so less familiar with PHP code.

If it’s possible, send here the required code to paste in the “WPCode plugin” to generate the direct link to user’s profile in bbPress.

Of course, I’m using your plugin but the shortcut [bsp-profile label=”Edit My Profile” edit=”true”] works in the site’s footer but doesn’t work in the forum footer.

[u3wxdmfx]

When I reply to a topic in bbpress, it gets counted as a “post” when a visitor views the site. Is it possible to make it count as a “Voice”?

I think the correct answer is “Replies” and not “Voices”, but what do you think?

When I look at the administration screen, the topic with the reply is counted as a “Replies”, but when I look at the site from the visitor’s side, it is counted as a “post”, and the number is the total number of posts in the topic (+1).

If someone could tell me, it would be helpful.

Also, why does it say “This topic is empty” when I open a topic?

That’s all, thank you in advance.

Usage environment
WordPress 6.5.5 running Twenty Twenty-One theme.
bbPress Version 2.6.11 (Only one plugin is needed)
PHP version 8.2.22

Thanks for your reply Mr. Robin.

but I don’t want to use plugins for that.

I’m looking for the link of the user profile in bbPress

like This:

https://example.com/wp-admin/profile.php

for WordPress user profile.

Hello

I have a site with WordPress block theme 2025 and create forum by bbPress in it.

I need a Edit profile link of user in bbPress to put it in the menu or footer so user can access his bbPress profile not WordPress profile.

Can someone help me.

Thanks before

Hello Robin
Thanks for the plugins “bbp profile information”.

I have two questions about it:

First:

Is it for bbPress or Buddypress, because Its name is “bbp profile information” but its name in the installed plugins part is “bbp buddypress profile information”?

Second:
I determine “town” for the name;
check mark the show label and show Item;
so the name “town” shows at the end of user Avatat in topic and reply but where can a member insert his town name for example Paris in it?
Thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_translations', 20 , 3 );

function rew_translations( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain != 'bbpress' return $translated;
	if ( $translated == 'This forum is empty.' ) {
		$translated = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated;
}

[Robin W]

this is related to your theme, rather than anything in bbpress, so sorry not able to help

Good afternoon, I am having an issue with migrating from vBulletin. Even if I don’t change anything in the script settings, including not entering the database password, it gets stuck on step 1 for two days. Of course, I tried entering all the necessary data, but that did not help. I also tried downgrading the PHP version from 8 to 7, but that also didn’t work. It just stays stuck on step 1.
There are no errors in the logs either. Perhaps there is a separate migration script log, but I couldn’t find it. I am asking for help.

[Robin W]

sounds like a wordpress rather than bbpress issue.

The first thing I would do is install wordfence, and get it to notify you whenever an admin logs on, and possibly also when a non admin logs on

wordfence>all options>email alert

I’d also run a scan to see if wordfence detects any issues with themes plugins and files

I’d then switch on brute force protection to lock out repeated attempts

wordfence>all options>brute force protection

This might help you work out when and how.

how many users do you have? how many are admins? how many are moderators?

[Robin W]

ok, thanks.

I cannot see why it would do this, unless it thinks it is a bbpress page and should add the sidebar.

Is it doing this for any bbpress shortcode – maybe as a test try some others and then come back

[Robin W]

so which of the methods in this link item 3 are you using?

Hi,

Spammers are able to add pingbacks to my forum even though this is disallowed (in blog settings). So they are not logged-in users who are adding spam comments to a topic, but they are externally able to “comment” on the forum itself.

My site is a dating site, so has a sub forum “Personals”

The URL takes the form …

domain/forums/forum/personals

They can add pingbacks to this “Personals” sub-forum which display below (ie. outside) the forum as, for example …

“3 Thoughts on Personals” :

Pingback: (spam link)
Pingback: (spam link)
Pingback: (spam link)

Any help would be appreciated in solving this.
It’s not a new issue, has been on my site for several years.

bbpress 2.6.9
wordpress 6.0.9
buddypress 10.6.4
