Hi Folks, I’ve used bbPress successfully before but I think I’ve done something wrong this time around.
I’ve added a menu item (for logged in users) to the forums but neither of the new forums displays.
Previously each forum would be displayed one above the other but this time just some search text.
Forums page:https://conwycameraclub.com/forums/
Sample forum when previewed from editor:
https://conwycameraclub.com/forums/forum/general-chit-chat/
or…forum/how-do-i
I’m sure I must have missed something but can’t think what. It appeared so simple last time.
Cheers, Eugene

How to access to bbpress dashboard>settings>forums>editing
and when in the ‘editing’ page to which parameter should I look for
thank you
Thank you,
I have little experience in WP and bbpress.
I accessed as Admin to the WP dashboard, clicked on ‘forums’ and find out that this is not the right place to go.
Please let me know how can I get to the ‘bbpress’ dashboard and when click on ‘edit’ what parameter should I look for in order to set the changes I asked.
Thank you again
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!

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

presuming you are talking about bbpress, then
dashboard>settings>forums>editing
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
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
Site: http://www.laceioli.org
Put this in the custom css part of your theme
#bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper h2.entry-title {
display: none;
}
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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' );
// ==============================================================
