To set up a forum where only registered users can create new posts but anyone can reply, follow these steps. First, choose a forum platform that supports user permissions, such as phpBB, Discourse, or vBulletin. Next, navigate to the “User Permissions” or “Access Control” settings. Set permissions to allow only registered users to create threads, while granting “Everyone” or “Guests” permission to reply to posts. Ensure your registration process is straightforward to encourage sign-ups. Finally, test the settings to confirm only registered users can start new discussions, ensuring an engaging yet secure forum environment.
Thanks
This is just a warning that WordPress 6.7 introduced.
bbpress in itself does not issue that warning, so I’d suspect that another plugin is affecting this.
so you need to test to see which other plugin or your theme is doing this.
I’d start with loco translate and LearnPress – bbPress Integration as likely candidates.
If not you’ll need to work out which
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

Hi Robin
Thank you for your response.
We have already tried several troubleshooting steps, including:
Changing the theme.
Deactivating all plugins.
Contacting Divi (theme) support.
Contacting bbPress support.
Creating a new .htaccess file.
Uploading fresh WordPress core files.
Following the recommendations in this video: YouTube link.
Testing with the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin.
After extensive testing and investigation, our web hosting provider has concluded that bbPress is attempting to use an abnormally high amount of PHP memory. They have also provided us with an error log file that might help clarify the issue further. Please let me know how we can upload this.
We would appreciate any insights or suggestions you may have to resolve this problem.
Looking forward to your response.

@mentions don’t seem to be working on my forum at sparkt.caadpe.org/forums. I’m using bbpress with Memberpress. How can I troubleshoot this? You can see my attempts here: https://sparkt.caadpe.org/forums/topic/notification-test/. You’ll need to register a free account to see this.
Hello. I run a site where I use the theme Blog FSE. BBPress does not work with this theme. It works fine with Twentysixteen, for example. Is there any way to solve this so that BBPress can work with Blog FSE so I don’t have to change themes? My knowledge of PHP is low and I have a visual impairment and therefore it is quite difficult to work too much in PHP code.
Latest WordPress and BBPress versions.

Hello Mr. Robin
This plugin has a problem with not updating and has received a warning:
“This plugin has not been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.”
Will this cause security issues, or problems with the plugin’s functionality, or interference with other plugins, especially with the new version of WordPress, etc.?

I’ve read this topic, but it’s still unresolved, so I’d like to ask a new question here.
I’m currently installing and testing it, but it won’t load in the BBPRESS text area. Is there a way to set it?
I’m looking to add a creative “broken screen” effect to my bbPress forum. The idea is to make it look like the screen is cracked, either when someone first enters the forum or after performing a specific action.
I’m unsure of the best way to achieve this. Should I use custom CSS or JavaScript to create the effect? Or is there a plugin or feature in bbPress that could help with this?
Any suggestions will be very helpful for me.
Example page: Broken Screen
I’ve explored custom CSS and JavaScript options, and also checked out the following resources:
bbPress
Codex
https://wordpress.org/plugins/
Even after going through these, I’m still unsure of the best way to achieve the effect.
it could be a theme or plugin issue

Thanks again for your efforts in resolving the issue.
After updating the plugin to version 6.1.8, the ‘standard footer’ option was also tested in the Footer options section, but unfortunately it has no effect and the error still exists.
ok, I need to to go back to standard footer to see if this fixes the gce issue as per previous post
So as a further test if you did not have the conflict with gse before, can you select the ‘standard footer’ option in the style pack theme settings and whilst this will give you back the original shortcode problem, does it fix the gse problem, that will get me closer to the problem code !
ytParticipant
Thank you very much for your time spent solving my and others’ problem.
In response to your questions, it should be stated:
1- Yes, I cleared the cache on the server and the browser before the last test.
2- To be sure, I also tested the site with four browsers: Chrome, Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera, and they display the same error.
3- To clear up any doubts, I deleted the site in Google Custom Search and recreated it.
When we haven’t made any customizations yet, the code works fine, but as soon as we make a customization, such as changing the color of the search box from white to black, the problem appears.
4- Since I had placed the code in the header section under the header navigation, the problem occurred. I also tested the code in other parts of the site, such as the sidebar, but the problem remains.
5- Unfortunately, I didn’t understand what you meant by the “Select standard footer” option in the theme settings of the style pack” because I basically don’t know where it is located. If possible, please tell me how to access it so I can do it.
no problem, I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen trying to help others – happy to see if we can resolve.
Can you confirm that you have cleared cache on both server and browser before the latest test. If so…
At the moment I am trying to work out which bit of code is causing the issue, and your test eliminated one area.

With many apologies
Regarding the shortcode problem, I forgot to mention that this problem was tested in four browsers, and the results are as follows:
A- In the Chrome browser, there is no problem of not displaying, but there is a problem of not being able to color, that is, when I place the extension shortcode inside the shortcode block and then place this block inside the group block and give it a color, for example, red, the shortcode is displayed correctly in the footer of the site with red color, but in the forum, the shortcode color is not applied.
B- In the Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera browsers, it is not displayed at all.

2- With the update of the bbp style pack plugin to the new version, a new problem appeared related to the Google Search Custom activation code (gsc) on a personal site, explaining that:
I use the gsc code in the Custom HTML block in the site header to activate Google Search on the site.
Before updating the above plugin, there was no problem in executing the above code on the site and forum, but as soon as the plugin was updated and even before activating
If you are using shortcodes in your footer, this option should ensure they display correctly
It was observed that the words #gsc.tab=0 were added to the end of every address, including the site and forum, such as
خانه
and
https://ghazavatonline.ir/forums/#gsc.tab=0
and
https://ghazavatonline.ir/concept-corruption-and-prostitution-in-article-639-islamic-penal-code-tazirat/
This problem is such that it cannot be solved by disabling the add-on and inevitably the entire code from the above block must be deleted, which I also inevitably deleted.
It is also worth mentioning that, to make sure that the recent problem is related to the bbp style pack plugin, I created a test site and activated the previous version of the plugin and used the Google code. There was no problem with the site and forum addresses, but after updating the plugin, it was noticed that the problem with the mentioned addresses appeared.
Is it possible to solve the recent problem in particular?
Thank you for all your hard work and honest efforts.
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
site:https://xs748057.xsrv.jp/test-bbpress/forums/forum/about-micro-four-thirds/
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
Hi there,
Test site latest updates and twenty four theme.
As explain in title I can’t display forum with 2024 and other blocks themes.
It’s ok to display forum list with shortcode but not forums.
Thanks four your help.
Hello,
On my latest site, the ‘Subscribe’ or ‘Unsubscribe’ button does not show on the Forum page while the Elementor Pro plugin is active.
This is true when my theme (a child theme of Total) is active. It is also true when the “Twenty Twenty” theme is active.
I have ruled out conflict with other plugins.
I am running the current versions of core, theme, and all plugins. The relevant pieces are:
WP Core: 6.6.2
Total, Parent Theme: 5.19
BBPress:2.6.11
Elementor:3.25.3
Elementor Pro: 3.25.2
Unfortunately I cannot share a link to the forum as it is behind a gateway.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
The test just allowed me to confirm that bbpress works with the theme. The production site has backups so if you have to break things to find the solution it’s not a problem it’s still under construction.
ok, so sorry I cannot help further, it is related to a difference between a setting, theme or plugin between the 2 sites, and yes it is tinymce related.
Given that it is not in production, then you probably want to try disabling things in test to see what is adding it, rather than take out things in production.
On the production site we see that the bbp-the-content-wrapper class calls nothing see image.

On the test site we can see the tmce see image

I tested the different modes of bbp-style-pack same. I just disabled all the plugins again same.
I put another theme same 🙁
