At a guess, I’d say that bbPress, like WordPress, uses oEmbed to embed media. WP maintains a list of oEmbed providers whose URLs will automatically be converted to media embeds. The URL in your screenshot looks like it’s a custom CDN hosting an mp4 file, which likely can’t be converted this way. To test this, try using a YouTube video’s URL instead. You may use WPTrains forum to understand further.
Im using BBpress Version 2.6.9 and WordPress version: 5.9.3 and i’m working on my localhost.
I have followed the documentation (method 2) and I keep ending up with the same issue. The Forum page has the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode which works fine, but when I click on the forum I created it returns a blank page.
URL structure that returns blank page:
mysite/forums/forum/test-forum/
I have removed every plugin except BBPress and tested this on the 2022 WordPress theme and still no luck, any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
In my WordPress website, I added bbPress. When you are in the forum in the section _Support_ and you open a topic, you see this
In my point of view, the user experience is not great because the user doesn’t know where he or she is. I like to add a full breadcrumb like
> Forum > Support > Test video
How can I add this?
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

3. bbpress follows the rules in dashboard>settings>discussion
I tried the code on a test site and it appeared to work.
I updated the Track ticket.
I’ve seen a few references to this issue, but seems noone was able to find, or at least post a solution, we’re having issues with divi theme on the archive pages with bbPress, latest WP/BBP/Divi versions with the theme builder, header and footer works on all pages, but the user profile, the other search archives for bbpress, all show a huge margin at the top then messed up formatting.
Was anyone able to rectify this? Divi’s developers blame bbPress and say to consult here.

So latest wordpress and bbpress forum..
nothing worked when I tried to import SMF database..
So I then created a mybb forum and used there importer, which after charset issues, imported the SMF forum stuff fine..
so now back to bbpress, to import from mybb, and still nothing.. it starts and does nothing else just like before with it trying to import from the smf db..
all the options are correct ie db name/pass/port etc… I don’t get it, it says nothing as to why its not processing anything, just stuck at first step doing nothing.
Is this importer even working?
Hey there! For some reason my team is no longer getting the auto generated emails when someone has posted in the forum. I ran a test and nothing went through.
Also on my side bar – I do not have the option for the forum, only topics and replies.
Any advice?

Hello,
I have just installed the latest version of bbPress, but on the forums page, I am seeing the following errors. The ‘Registered Users’ and ‘Forums’ part seems fine but the rest are not.
Here is the code from that section of the file:
<dt><?php esc_html_e( 'Forums', 'bbpress' ); ?></dt>
<dd>
<strong><?php echo esc_html( $stats['forum_count'] ); ?></strong>
</dd>
<dt><?php esc_html_e( 'Topics', 'bbpress' ); ?></dt>
<dd>
<strong><?php echo esc_html( $stats['topic_count'] ); ?></strong>
</dd>
<dt><?php esc_html_e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ); ?></dt>
<dd>
<strong><?php echo esc_html( $stats['reply_count'] ); ?></strong>
</dd>
<dt><?php esc_html_e( 'Topic Tags', 'bbpress' ); ?></dt>

Thx and especially for the plugin which I shall implement. It blocks public access to user profiles and that’s got to be a good thing much appreciated. But I’ll explain why I doubt that’s the cause here.
This beta test really should have been a piece of cake. 6 savvy users, each with bespoke usernames at least 8 characters upper lower case and special characters. And strong passwords, thankfully.
(Standard) version of Linit Login Attempts Reloaded (‘LLAR’) plugin was loaded, not anticipating any action.
Only 3 of the 6 users bothered to post a few trivial posts. Within a day or so, LLAR flagged up failed login attempts from only those users who had posted. Not many at first but it grew exponentially over the next few days from multiple IPs (presumably bots) to about 1000/day before I shut it down.
Now it’s not conclusive, but seems unlikely that a random attack on user profiles would only find the exact 3 users who posted. More likely those usernames were found from their posts I figure. Usernames were, after all, in the page conetent, And so the html if that were visible.
But also visible in the RSS feed perhaps?
I have now turned off WP’s entire RSS etc feed. Blocked offending usernames. Allocated new usernames, will implement your plugin and start the beta test again.
Shall post the outcome. Let’s see what happens !
thx and much appreciated all your stuff not just on this, RW

I’m building a small community forum with about 20 users. Bbp 2.6.9. WP 6.0.1 Login Attempts reloaded plugin.
Intention is for the whole forum to be private, and require user login to view and/or post.
Seems simple enough and works well so began live beta test. The forum is set ‘private’. But topics within it have to be set ‘public’ for logged in participant users to see. If topics are set ‘private’ only admin/keyholders can see, and that would not be good.
OK, so the ‘public’ topics and replies don’t seem publicly visible, after all they are in a private forum. For example https://mysite.com/forum/topicpage only returns content if user is logged in.
So far so good.
Except….early on in a limited test, an unexpected and uninvited brute force attack was able to identify three correct usernames (but not passwords) which I can only presume must come from reading topic post content ???
So what does a ‘public’ topic in a ‘private’ forum mean? Is content somehow publicly visible, and how do I get all content in a private forum to be properly private and only visible to logged on users? Or is there a security flaw?
Thx and I’ve run out of ideas, help appreciated TheFarmer
ok, I’ve just tried this on my test site with just twentyten and bbppress and it sends with carriage returns, so possible that the email system you are using or indeed the email recipient software is stripping – may be may not be.
otherwise it could be a theme or plugin issue

Hi, I’m having an issue where my forum notifications are not being formatted correctly. None of the spacing that exists in the default notification message exists in the resulting email, and I have confirmed that the message is being sent using the ‘text/html’ content type header. I added a <br> tag to the notification email as a test as well, but it was sent in plain text and not rendered as a line break. Anything I should try?
Aloha. I’m trying to get bbpress working and I’m having a problem. bbpress has been installed and activated, but I don’t see ‘Forum’ on the dashboard. This is bbpress 2.6.9 running on WP 6.0.1. I have uninstalled and re-installed bbpress with no change.
Searching the internet tells me it’s a conflict with another plugin or with the theme. However, I’ve installed the “Health Check and Troubleshooting” plugin (https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) and when I enable it, then enable bbpress, I still don’t see the Forum in the dashboard. Changing themes did not help either.
Also, when looking at the View Details of bbpress, I see this: Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress. Is this my problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks – I can see the issue – suggest you change the keymaster pw to prevent this site being hacked
I’ll now use my test site to see if I can work out what is happening
1. can’t see as I don’t have access
2. when you say ‘blank bbpress’ did you do the full tests above?
Yep, using a child theme. But, the child theme isn’t listed, only twentytwentytwo itself, and selecting it didn’t change anything.
So, maybe I misunderstood your directions, but this did not solve the issue. I still get a blank white page.
I’m happy to test something else or troubleshoot it.
just loaded that code to my test site, and it runs fine.
suggest you delete and try it again
