I can only suggest standard fault finding viz
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

My site with wordpress 5.9, bbpress 2.6.9 and style pack 4.9.1 (which has the bug fix automatically in it) with the visual editor turned on – all works fine
sorry, my brain was being fried – Visual is not standard but text is.
bbpress 2.6.7 and after has a bug
try and add this fix to your functions file
if( !function_exists( 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' ) ){
function bbpress_browser_supports_js() {
echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' );
}
Thats a long story @robin-w.
I use “Advanced Editor Tools” to the main TinyMCE tool bar.
I have my own plugin that adds a couple of tweaks to the toolbar.
I have TinyMCE Config but that is for the TinyMCE behaviour.
I think I have some custom hooks too.
// ==============================================================
// Tweak MCE Toolbars (bbPress Editor)
function ajt_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
global $bsp_style_settings_form ;
$args['tinymce'] = true;
$args['teeny'] = false;
if ($bsp_style_settings_form['Show_editorsactivate'] == 1) $args['quicktags'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'ajt_enable_visual_editor' );
// ==============================================================
text isn’t standard on bbpress – how are you achieving this?
I am using latest bbPress and WordPress.
I have just noticed when I create a forum topic that whilst my tinymce toolbar is fine, when I click the Text tab I get an empty toolbar.
Why would that be? Is there no longer a text toolbar in WordPress?
I am attempting to convert a PHPBB3 forum to BBPress. Obviously it is failing (thus this post). It seems to run, and did change the name of the the admin account on the PHPBB forum. However, the rest of the process is as such:
Import Finished.
17.No threaded replies to import
16.No anonymous reply authors to import
15.No replies to import
14.No favorites to import
13.No topic subscriptions to import
12.No topic tags to import
11.No closed topics to import
10.No super stickies to import
9.No stickies to import
8.No anonymous topic authors to import
7.No topics to import
6.No forum subscriptions to import
5.No forum parents to import
4.No forums to import
3.No passwords to clear
2.No users to import
1.Skipping sync-table clean-up
Starting Import…
Ready to go.
What I am working with:
PHPBB3 = 3.2.11
BBPress = 2.6.9
Neither the old forum nor the new have any mods installed. BBPress is a virgin install on a virgin install of WordPress.
I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If I end up with 2 similar posts, I apologize. I *think* my first post fell into the bitbucket, but if not it may appear as well.
Thanks in advance for any help!

@robin I am experiencing the exact same issue, even when using ?ao_noptimize=1 to shut off Autoptimize for testing.
I also use GeneratePress (pro), and bbpress with bbpstylepack .
The individual forums show perfectly, but the index is very broken and missing proper styling.
The issue can be seen here https://www.budget101.com/community/
as far as I know buddypress requires bbpress as a forum if you want your social network to have a forum.
BBpress is just a forum, so if you want more than that, then you might need buddypress.
Okay, great work!
So, do I need to install bbPress separately.I assumed perhaps wrongly that BuddyPress also is a forum?
Hello,
How can I make my bbpress forum private? Not available to the public. Only to registered users with a specific role on the website?
I’ve tried so many things.
Thank you
ok, I am not sure what is happening
it could be a theme or plugin issue

bbpress is the forum part of buddypress.
I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites – nothing wrong with it, but my sites are just forum based, and I use ‘bbp private groups’ (which I wrote 🙂 ) to run separate forums where I need to.
Thank you, and just one more question..
Am I right in thinking I need bbPress for the forum part of BuddyPress?
I am currently looking at using groups for topics but it is not quite the same.
I’ll do some digging online as well but just wanted to ask your opinion.
Many thanks,
Ollie
I think this is the problem? … don’t recall adding it but assume it is safe to remove as I am removing bbPress for now at least, what do you think?
add_filter(‘body_class’, ‘modify_body_classes’, 20);
function modify_body_classes( $classes ) {
if( is_bbpress() ) {
$remove_classes = array(‘et_right_sidebar’, ‘et_left_sidebar’, ‘et_includes_sidebar’);
foreach( $classes as $key => $value ) {
if ( in_array( $value, $remove_classes ) ) unset( $classes[$key] );
}
$classes[] = ‘et_full_width_page’;
}
return $classes;
}
ok, it is a function in your child theme’s function file – line 28
Call to undefined function is_bbpress() in /home/storm/sites/wbc1-otiscreative-co-uk/public/wp-content/themes/Divi-Child-Theme/functions.php:28
So who had created that file? as either they or you will need to amend whatever that part of the file is trying to do.
Hi Robin,
Thanks for sticking with me here. I have error logs on the server so I tried again to disable bbpress and below is the log. I disabled and deleted Divi Mega Pro as I realised I didn’t use that in the end but it didn’t solve it.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Ollie

ok. You should not get an error when deactivating bbpress, so something is causing this outside of bbpress itself.
You say you get a critical error – I need to know exactly what that says. You might need to turn n debug to get this.
Wordpress doesn’t make this easy !!
https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-enable-debugging-in-wordpress/
so if you decativate ‘PMPro – bbPress Add On’ first and then deactivate bbpress – does that work?
I can deactivate that no problem
When I deactivate bbPress is when i get a critical error, as soon as activate all is fine again.
ok, so what bbpress related other plugins do you have if any?
@robin-w, I think bbPress does just what you’re saying. But (if I understand things correctly) BuddyPress will change the WP “display name” (and/or “nickname” ???) when you update your name in the BP profile — If “synching” is on. I use BP, but I actually have synching OFF, so I’m not all that familiar with the details.
BTW, the same goes for email. You can change that in the BP profile too, and (if allowed) it updates it in WordPress.
@mike80222 – thanks -interesting – I thought bbpress just pulled the name from the database user nickname field, maybe it doesn’t or that plugin doesn’t actually change that value
bbpress just uses the wordpress display name, so any wordpress plugin that changes this should work eg
Easy Username Updater
it maybe a dependant plugin issue? ie an additional plugin which needs bbpress
so the standard fault finding applies viz…
it could be a theme or plugin issue
