so is this topics/forums they have subscribed to or are you using something else to advise of new items
Is this just forum mail ? try installing

https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/ and use it to test and switch on logging

That should tell you if it is your site not sending, or issues once the email has left your site

[Robin W]

ok i’d suggest the standard fault finding to see where the issue lies 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

Then come back

Thanks, that error report let me find the issue.

if you update bbp-style-pack plugin to latest (5.3.3) version it should all work

Ive hit save at > Permalinks on both live and staging to no effect. I’ve also tested the staging site using 2022 and 2023 default themes and both times at /forums/ (my main forum index page) i get completely blank screen but rest of site is as expected.

[Robin W]

so can you just clarify that with just bbpress plugin, elementor and astra theme – this happens?

Hi! When I use the search function on the forums page, or try to visit a search URL, it goes to an infinite loop which crashes the site. I have the latest version of everything, wp, Elementor, Astra and bbpress. Any ideas?

[kfeuerherm]

WP 6.1.1 installed bbpress and bbp-styles to test it out as a wpforo alternative.

Apologies if this is a daft question….

I am wondering whether they are conflicting…?

• when signed in as administrator, I can do New topic from the menu, and have all the usual HTML formatting options, so can use headers, links, etc. at the push of a button
• when signed in as an editor, I get only the vanilla options I see here, having to enter HTML tags.

So I’m wondering whether the first option is actually ‘borrowed’ from wpforo and not actually available in bbpress? or is there some way to enable such a thing?

Illustration here: (hope I’ve done it right, not a big HTML user…)

Visual examples

NOTE: at the moment, I am unable to network deactivate wpforo thus cannot uninstall to see what happens. Have a ticket out on that.

[Robin W]

do you have an expectation for release on 5.2.8?

today or tomorrow ! – known minor issue – just need to write 6 lines of code, test and release !

[Robin W]

bbpress works fine with 6.1.1, but in itself doesn’t like block themes.

If you are using a block theme, then this additional plugin adds that.

bbp style pack

and also adds lots of options to style and functionality which you will probably want.

The latest release of style pack has multisite functionality, but we are just ironing out a final few bugs, so I’d wait for bbp-style-pack 5.2.8 before having it in a live site

[kfeuerherm]

I’m looking for a forum discussion plug-in for my multisite, which is now at WP 6.1.1. I’ve been trying wpforo but I’m having issues with it so hoping this might be an alternative….

I get a warning saying bbpress hasn’t been tested with 6.1.1, so I’ve not yet tried to instal it. Wondering whether anyone here can offer any advice on that? Is it in testing, will it be soon, or should I not worry?

I’m being cautious, particularly as wpforo doesn’t seem to want to network deactivate, among other things….

Many thanks

I want it to be submitted for my approval when users post a post in the flow. I also installed the bbpress modaration plugin, but when I want to post a post from my test account, it is shared immediately without approval. How can I solve this problem?

1. the bbpress moderation plugin has been withdrawn – cab you confirm what plugin you are using
2. what roles did your test account have, and what settings do you have for the plugin?

[Robin W]

php 8.1 is a lot more fussy

try this (untested but should work)

function private_content_redirect_to_login() {
  global $wp_query,$wpdb;
  if (is_404()) {
    $host = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    $path = dirname($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    $forums = "forum";
    $location = "https://direitoshumanosangola.org/not-logged-in/";
		if(strpos( $path, $forums ) !== false){
		  wp_safe_redirect($location);
		  exit;
		}
  }
}

Hi there.
I’m trying to install bbPress in a WP new enviroment.
Plugin is activated as usual, but when I create a new forum, topic or debate, all front-end pages associated are blank.
I have tried to replicate the problem in two different servers and it persists.

If you can add to my topic on the Astra support it may help things.

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-user-profile-broken-on-latest-update/

[sflwa]

@confusedneedhelp

As a matter of fact I am running astra – I didn’t think to try the page with a default theme.

I have the pro version so I’ll test that again and reach out to them

[confusedneedhelp]

Hi,

I have the same problem. I am using the Astra theme and since the latest update to 4.0.2 the user page enters a constant loop trying to load the profile info until the server cannot cope.

Are you using the Astra theme? I tried their support but they were not helpful. If I go back to the previous version of Astra it works ok.

I am using the default Astra theme with only BBpress activated. I can provide a link to a staging site if anyone wants to see it.

[Verdant Studio]

With troubleshooting mode you mean debug mode? https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/debugging-in-wordpress/

That would be a good way to start yes, if you have a local or test setup in which you can reproduce the exact same error, I would try turning plugins off one by one there, to see if it is being caused by any of them.

Errors like these can have many causes but the template for this particular page is at
/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

[Robin W]

so did you do the test above with just a default theme and bbpress ?

[billco]

Hi,
I have setup a Forum, actually many forums.
I also setup bbp Private Groups.

I made a test registrant, and I set them up as a “Private group member” and as a “Participant”. When they log in, they can see the forums, but when they click on any forum title, they go to my website homepage.

I set a forum to “Public” and it does the same thing.

I cannot see what setting will allow my Private users to access the forums.

By the way, I made a Topic in one of the forums (from backend admin), and it shows as the “Last Post” and when the user clicks the “Last Post” they go to the topic.

[Robin W]

Just installed bbpress digest – nothing critical has changed in bbpress since it was written.

This adds a section to the bbpress user profile edit page which lets each user specify how often and when they get the digest.

I’ve not tested, but might be worth you taking a second look at this.

Now all CSS working great!

The 2nd & 3rd CSS showing results in a much delay manner, that’s why I thought they are not working initially. I have to test run a reply to a topic then only can “push” the CSS to work. 🙂

Thanks a lot!
