ok, just tried twenty twentyone php 8.1, wp 6.1.1 with bbpress and the events calendar, and topics show ok on my test site.
(by the way 5 will give blank pages, these are FSE themes and are a pain in the xxxx)
contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/ with access details
My observations so far by testing on the Stage site.
1 – Deactivating The Calendar fixes the problem with the Forum
2 – Downgrading The Calendar to 5.16.4 fixes the problem
3 – Changing Themes to Twenty-Twenty-One has the same problem
4 – Changing Themes to Roseta (we are using a child of Roseta) or Codex does not help
5 – Changing Themes to Twenty-Twenty-Two or Twenty-Twenty-Three gives me blank pages on the forum (worse) even with all plugins deactivated.
6 – Deactivating all plugins except bbPress and The Calendar gives me the same problem
We are running PHP 8.1 and WP 6.1.1
All this (except observation 5) points to a conflict between The Calendar and bbPress.
If you want, I could give you access to the staging site.
oh, okay! 🙂 Are you not the person who developed Private Groups and offered it to the public for free?
Thanks for your help, I’m using Baskerville 2.
If you would be willing to take a look, I could make you a user at my web site so you can see the private forums. They are all just test forums right now.
on 2. previous advice applies
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

Hi Robin,
Regarding my question, if bbpress only works with wordpress, how is that you don’t use wordpress, but you do use bbpress? That was my question there.
Now for another question. I set up a private forum with private topics as a test. The weird thing is, I can’t see the comments after I’ve posted them. It shows me that comments are there, just that the time and date, and if I hit reply, I can write something, although I can’t read what I’m replying to. Then afterward, there is another nested link with the date and time of what I just submitted, and I can’t read that either.
Interesting, now I can see that apparently Keymaster was automatically populated for my 2 admin people, and participant was automatically populated for a couple of authors (ones who have submitted content). For 2 authors who have not yet submitted content, nothing was automatically populated.
However, I went in to edit user and added them as participants. When I go back to edit user, it retains that I chose that for that user, it’s shown there, but when I look at “all users” it appears as if nothing has been selected for them yet, under the BBpress role. But perhaps that will start to appear once those authors have submitted a post?
I’m going to experiment with logging in as different usernames to test this and see if it works. I have not uninstalled bbpress yet, as so far I’m thinking maybe it won’t be necessary. Perhaps, hopefully, it was only the issue of needing to switch from Default view to CLASSIC VIEW, under users, to see the proper user options for BBPress.
It’s so odd that bbpress wouldn’t let people….
you do need to accept that your site is unique – there is no other WordPress site that is ‘exactly’ the same, you have a combination of php versions, theme, plugins pages, posts and numerous settings that no-one else has.
Therefore, please do not assume that what you are seeing is what everyone sees –
setting wordpress and bbpress roles to both exist is normal, what you are seeing is not.

Hello. I am hoping there is a method, maybe CSS, to remove the “All Discussions” portion of the BBpress forum grid display. I just want to present the grid of the forums. I do not want it to have the 2nd part that shows the latest activity. Thank you!
So frustrated!
I installed BBPress yesterday. I’m trying to set up a private forum for about a dozen authors on our site, so we can ask questions and learn from each other regarding using wordpress or the type of content we want to create.
First Question. I used the bbpress shortcode to add the forum to a page, just as a test. http://www.veganish.world/forums That went well (there is a public forum there, just as a test), but the thing is, how do I add the registered users for the private forum? The 12 people who will have access? I’ve looked in Settings, and I’ve looked under Forums, in the left-hand side bar in WordPress, and I can’t find anything.
I installed Robin’s Private Groups plugin today, thinking that would help … still not finding anything there either, regarding how to MANUALLY add registered users who are pre-approved to view the content in the forums. ARGH.
Such a simple and crucial thing, I don’t know why I can’t find it.
Second Question. Once I figure out how to register a new user, I have a question … can I make it so that if this persons is already logged in at wordpress.com (as they would need to be, to upload new blog posts), they instantly have access to the FAQ author forums, without having to log into anything else?
My web site is http://www.veganish.world, but I don’t see how that would be helpful as I just have two (2) general questions, noted above.
If you go to http://www.veganish.world/forums, you might see a public forum that I posted as a test yesterday, before I realized I need private forums, etc.
Thank you!

Thanks Robin
I’m using an all-in-one platform Rainmaker (Andromeda) and they don’t allow you to simply install plug-ins. They have to go through testing for compatibility ect and it’s usually around £200 per install to have it tested and approved.

Hi Robin
Thank you for taking your time to respond.
Yes, I want it to appear on the homepage of a membership site so that people can see the latest topics for that particular site. We have another site that uses the forums also, so will need to apply the same there for another parent/child set of forums – if we can make it work as we hope.
thanks – ok I’m not seeing this, so either it is a setting, or a combination of theme/plugins
maybe try

Have another question. Is there any reason why the site (bbpress forum only) will break if i upgrade the php from 7.4 to 8.1?
I have run my test site with 8.1 and it works with only warnings.
If it is breaking your site, then you will need to enable debug to find out where the issue is, or try 8.0.x which is also in support.
Thanks Robin. I kind of assumed the situation was like what you’re saying. But I just ran into some problems with another plugin (with PHP 8.1) and the authors of that one simply said they’re not supporting 8.1 yet – so no point in reporting issues. This caused me to question the situation with some of my other “main” plugins 🙂
FYI, though our real sites are still on PHP 7.4, my test site is currently running 8.1.10 and I have not *seen* any problems with bbPress (though it doesn’t get much of a workout there).

As far as I can easily test, all seems ok, but under 8.1 you get a load of php warnings for wordpress itself.
From this trac ticket
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54672
WP think that as this only shows when debug turned on it is fine, but as I always have it on in my test site because I am developing, it displays all over the place, so I’ve gone back to 8.0.x
I’d be very surprised if the authors are actively testing with php versions.
Usually, you’d just deal with any errors – I’ve heard of none with 8.0.x or 8.1.x
my test site is running fine with 8.0.25 which will have security support for another year.
I’ll bump it to 8.1 and let you know of anything I find 🙂
Is there somewhere, like in Trac or something, where I can find out the last version of PHP that bbP is tested with?
As you can tell i am not educated enough to read debugging information. 🙂 , so most likely you will be the one interpreting it?
I am guessing once i get the debugging feature enabled then will have to once more do testing, get all the information, post here, and we will go though the troubleshooting? Not that i can’t do it but are there any other alternative plugins that will do what this plugin does? Then it will be a bit easier and i can simply install that plugin.
Just added 6.0.3.1 to my test site and I can see topics and replies
can you confirm you are on the latest version 6.0.3.1?
If so, looking at their support site, they seem to be having loads of issues with 6.x .
I’d suggest you revert your site back to an earlier version until the support forum becomes quieter.
toolkit subscriptions seems to work on my test site, but could be another setting within the plugin that is breaking it
6.1 is quite a major release – I just updated my test site to it, and worpress doesn’t like my twenty ten theme menus anymore 🙁
Personally, I’d wait until 6.1.1 is released before updating a live site.
I’ll take a look at the toolkit plugin with 6.1 when I get a moment
I suspect 6.1 will break lots of things – I’ve have updated my test site and wordpress doesn’t like the menus I have with a twenty ten theme 🙂
I’d suggest you wait for 6.1.1 to see if they bug fix things.

Notify me of reply checkbox has always worked it’s the subscriptions which don’t. I also have bbp stylepack installed which has subscription settings so I don’t know if there is a conflict?
thx
