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
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 events calendar 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
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
I need to logout as admin to then see if solves the issue
in which case you will need to not use the health check plugin and actually deactivate the plugins
if you open two sessions of your browser by opening one and then clicking ‘shift’ and open again, it will open two browsers, so one can be logged in as admin and the other not.
you can then test to see what is causing the login issue
I was going to say, do you think it could be because the bbpress plugin has only been tested up to wordpress version 5.9.5 and I am using 6.0.3?
bbpress works fine with 6.0.3
Thank you, I’ll try the health check plugin.

ok, suspect that the membership plugin or another plugin is affecting that.
it could be a theme or plugin issue

Hi,
for some reason the search bar doe’s not visible in my forum pages.
For example:
reshetlacanianit.co.il/?forum=test-forum
On Settings> Forums> Search, the “Allow forum wide search” is checked.
Any Idea how to make the search bar available?
I’m been exploring different view shortcodes but I can’t make it seems to work.
I wanted to display both latest topics and most popular topics at the same time in the home page.
I use [bbp-display-topic-index show=’5′ forum =’10,11,12′] or [bbp-single-view id=’popular’] and [bbp-single-view] but only one view is showing up.
I’m not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out here. I can’t remember fully, but I have it in the back of my mind that there is an issue with that many forums, but don’t have time to set up 79 test forums to find out what it was.
Then simplest solution would be to amend the page to show all the forums
install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display
and set item 11
I tested it and it doesn’t do anything when use sign up form, just refreshing!
