Hi,

I am having problems setting up the forum for my community.
I have used the short code [bbp-forum-index] on the “forum” page but nothing appears on the screen, it is blank.
The subscription I take for my website is on wordpress.com and I’ve seen a few tutorials on how to setup the bbPress but had no success. It seems others on the internet have more options on wordpress than my subscription on wordpress.com, hope this helps to figure out.

I hope to get this done.

Cheers and waiting for a reply,
André Machado

Hi, I am using bbPress without necessity to create an account (people are reluctant to create one these days)… Akismet does a great job in preventing spam, but I would love to have an option to send an email notification to these users who filled their emails… Is there a way to do it? (Eg: somebody posts a question and fills his/her e-mail, I reply, the notification goes to me, but not to the user, which I want to change…)

Thanks!
Jan

ok, that link in the top right is not native bbpress – might be BP or your theme?

[maryreyes]

Exactly. Using these forums as my examples, clicking on my user name (upper right corner of the screen) takes me to https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/maryreyes/edit/ . On my forums, I want it to take me to https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/maryreyes/ . It shouldn’t take me to the profile editing page unless I click on “Edit profile” or I choose the “Edit” option on the profile page itself. How do I change that behavior (on my forums)?

sorry, since Divi is a paid product, and bbpress is a free one, suggest you refer to Divi and how to get the two working – Divi claim they integrate viz ‘bbPress should work seamlessly with all the best WordPress themes including Divi and Extra. As there’s no need to change themes to use it, bbPress is ideal for anyone starting a new website as well as those with an existing site they’d like to enhance with a discussion area.’

How to Use bbPress to Add a Forum to Your WordPress Website

[ollietubb1]

Hi Robin,

It turns out the client would like the sidebar to show Tags, recent posts etc

I have tried to set this up with widgets but it doesn’t show.

I am concerned that bbPress won’t work with Divi Builder. I was hoping to create Divi templates for the forum so that i can keep the look the same as the rest of the site.

I have a list of questions building up and wondered should I ask you or create new topics for each?

Thank you,
Ollie

Hello,
The website is up to date (WP 5.9 and 2.6.9 for bbpress)

I experience a randomly error on a website I manage. When you click on the answers in the backoffice you experience several times the same error, a white page with an error 500 and a fatal error :

WP_Fatal_Error_Handler->handle
WP_Fatal_Error_Handler->display_error_template
WP_Fatal_Error_Handler->display_default_error_template
wp_die

and

WP_Fatal_Error_Handler->handle()
       [PHP Kernel]
WP_Fatal_Error_Handler->display_error_template(Array, WP_Error)
       ./wp-includes/class-wp-fatal-error-handler.php:57
WP_Fatal_Error_Handler->display_default_error_template(Array, WP_Error)
       ./wp-includes/class-wp-fatal-error-handler.php:152
wp_die(WP_Error, <code></code>, Array)
       ./wp-includes/class-wp-fatal-error-handler.php:233

Could you help please ?

Thank you.

Hello,
I am running WordPress 5.8.2 with an Eduma Child theme. I have LearnPress and bbPress (v2.6.6) installed and I have an issue with forums.
Course A is attached to Forum A and this has been working well for over a year. I recently created Course B which is a duplicate of Course A. Course B is attached to Forum A.
Users who are signed up for Course B gets the message ‘ You are not enrolled in the course’ when they try to access their forum which is Forum A.
Please can you help????
Thanks

[Robin W]

that’s divi/theme related

see item 8 here

Hello Robin,

Me again! We have come back to bbPress as after testing BuddyPress the client has decided this is more effective for their purpose.

Please can you let me know the best way to remove the sidebar from the forum pages? I found some old articles but nothing very recent. I am using DIVI theme if that helps.

Here is the forum so far – https://wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/

Many thanks,
Ollie

Why does clicking on the user name (here and on my own forum using BP and bbPress) take me to the Edit Profile page instead of the View Profile page, and how do I change it?

WP Version 5.9
BP Version 9.2.0
bbPress Version 2.6.9
bbp style pack Version Version 4.9.1

Put this in the custom css part of your theme

#bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper h2.entry-title {
	display: none;
}

[Robin W]

I’ve just taken a look.

bbpress uses the wordpress ‘untrash’ function to restore topics and replies.

That wordpress function includes a note saying

* By default posts that are restored will be assigned a status of 'draft'.
* Prior to WordPress 5.6.0, restored posts were always assigned their original status.

so this was a change in WordPress 5.6

However WordPress helpfully includes a hook we can link to to restore the previous status automatically

add_filter ('wp_untrash_post_status', 'wp_untrash_post_set_previous_status' , 10 , 3) ;

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

Hi @markusb,
If I understand your issue well, I think this other topic could help you.

[maksanse]

Hello there,

I just discovered a bug on bbpress (v2.6.9) : when you :

1) trash a reply,
2) then restore it,
3) that reply is definitely trashed instead of being restored

I reproduced this issue with wordpress default theme with no other plugins activated.

Did you noticed that also ?

Best regards

[Robin W]

ok, so which method in

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

item 3

are you using to display this page?

[Robin W]

ok this is theme/page/wordpress setup rather than bbpress – if you look at the HTML then bbpress starts below this with

<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">

above this – it is not bbpress doing it.

[Robin W]

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

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

[Robin W]

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' );
// ==============================================================

[Robin W]

text isn’t standard on bbpress – how are you achieving this?

[Chuckie]

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/
