Thank you!
I think I get what you’re saying, but I’m not quite following what to do. I’m sure it’s easy. 🙂
Would I just use– for example– an existing WP installation, and install the latest bbPress as a plugin? Then, once installed in WP as a plugin, I go to bbPress, dashboard > tools > … ?
I presume there will be an “update database” process. Cool. This will be interesting. Backup, of course. 🙂
Thanks!
bbpress now requires wordpress, but you can set these two up with bbpress version 2.x, and then import the bbpress1 forum
so once installed go to
dashboard>tools>forums>import forums and select bbpress1
Hi there. I discovered bbPress circa 2007. I might have updated the version since, and most likely did. I probably stopped using it by 2010. I don’t know how to even determine what version it is (filename ?).
At that time, I was not using WordPress on that domain. I used bbPress as a standalone forum software.
Bottom line: is it possible to upgrade that installation? What would be my steps to at least salvage the db, perhaps install a WordPress and re-use the old bbPress. Quite honestly, just curious.
OK so this is what I got back this time from Elegant Themes (Divi), more promising:-
Hi Ollie 👋
I’m very sorry for the inconvenience, it is a known bug at the moment that the template does not work on the bbpress profile pages. Our dev team is aware of the issue and will fix it in future theme updates. 👍
So, please be advised at the current time bbPress does not work fully with Divi theme. I have asked when the fix will be and will advise as soon as I hear something firm.
Best,
Ollie
it may be a load order issue, try
#bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper h2.entry-title {
display: none !important;
}
Hi,
I’ve tried adding this to the theme css and to the bbpress css and neither worked?
Thanks,
Tess
think this needs raising with Divi who say their theme works with bbpress.
If you get an answer, do post back here, it will help me help others
I would like to add a title banner to all my forum pages so that it is consistent with the rest of the website.
This page is an example of what I would like it to look like – wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forum-home/ – this is created with Divi though with shortcodes which doesn’t work so this is just for visual representation.
So, I think I am after a way to inject this title banner into the forum pages, perhaps using the functions.php file, I am not entirely sure but would really appreciate some guidance on how to crack this.
This is my current forum layout – wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/
Thanks so much,
Ollie
PS. I am using latest version of WP and bbPress.
Hi there,
I hope someone can help. I have an issue with these two bbPress pages.
See here example: wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/users/ollie-tubb/
It picks up the divi default formatting rather than the structure of the other pages, see example here: wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/advice/finance/
It needs to sit in the same style template but I don’t know how to do this. I am using Divi theme but i am using the bbPress default set-up (not shortcodes).
Help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ollie
PS. I am using latest version of WP and bbPress.
The changelog page https://codex.bbpress.org/releases/ is not mentioning version 2.6.8 nor 2.6.9. and links to blog are not working.
Would be handy if that would be accurate.
The blog is ok though.
Thanks.
bbpress (here and on your site) uses the gravatar system, so upload you pic to there
https://en.gravatar.com/
or for your site you can also use a wordpress upload plugin such as
WP User Avatars
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

Thank you Robin, it is a he said she said thing now. I didn’t think it was native to BBPress and just wanted to verify. I will dig deeper and see if there is a plugin that allowed it and go from there. Thanks for the response.
not in native bbpress, hence why I was asking how they were doing this – might be a buddypreess thing, or code added.

‘the recent update’ – which update ? bbpress 2.6.9 was released over 2 months ago.
I haven’t seen any capability changes in the last few releases
and where exactly are they changing this to blocked?
Hello, I just installed bbPress into our WP site that is running BuddyPress with a Woffice theme for intranet and I have a problem with language localization.
The site language and other settings are set to the Czech language. The bbPress seems to be confused and some things are translated, but some things are still displayed in English. I checked the language file with translations and I can clearly see, that the strings that are shown in English ARE actually translated to Czech.
1/ View on the front end. As you can see, something is in Czech, something in English
screen here > http://folpc.cz/screen11.jpg
2/ For example, the String “CREATE NEW TOPIC IN…” is translated in bbpress-cs_CZ.po like this, which is correct but unfortunately, it is not shown
English > Create New Topic in “%s”
Czech > Vytvořit nové téma ve fóru „%s“
Any suggestions on what to check? Thanks!
Hello,
I manage a website with BBPress and BuddyPress. I am being told that Moderators are now unable to block users after the recent update. I don’t use it in the front end and wanted to see if anyone knew if there is a setting to allow this at all that may have changed.
Thank you,
looks like a theme issue- your theme is seeing this url as a post and showing a ‘post excerpt’
try
bbPress WP Tweaks
to see if changing the default wrapper will help
next page works fine on my test site.
Standard tests need to be performed
it could be a theme or plugin issue

I’ve been battling this bug for months now and it’s driving me up the wall.
When a forum user has more than one page of forum topics or replies, the pagination links do not generate correctly.
Take this user, for example: …com/members/adaptprep/forums/
For forum topics, the URL that is generated for the page 2 link is:
…com/members/adaptprep/page/2/
when it should be
…com/members/adaptprep/forums/topics/page/2/
For forum replies, the URL that is generated for the page 2 link is:
…com/members/adaptprep/page/2/
when it should be
…com/members/adaptprep/forums/replies/page/2/
I have seen many users with similar issues, but so far no solutions. Can anyone help?
Wordpress version 5.9
bbpress version 2.6.9

I should say that I simply help out here, I am not a bbpress plugin author, but have several plugins that add to bbpress capability.
Simply they both have registration functions as they are separate plugins, so if you only use one, it is useful to have a registration function, but as I say any WordPress registration function will do the job.
As for my second para, perhaps if I re-phrased it to read as I intended…
Many people do not use both bbpress and buddypress, rather some have just bbpress or just buddypress, but some like to have both – for instance I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites but many have just bbpress.
