The breadcrumbs don’t appear to respect the actual homepage settings for the blog. If there is a homepage selected, but the setting is actually to show latest posts, the breadcrumbs most frustratingly and seemingly inexplicably show the title of the page selected as homepage instead of latest posts – even if the actual homepage is set to latest posts.
To reproduce, select some page to be homepage. Save. Switch to latest posts (default) for homepage without clearing the selector. The breadcrumbs continue to show the title of the selected inactive setting for page instead of the actual site title, or home or something sane even though the url points to the homepage.
I added [bbp-forum-index] on that same test page (bottom) and there’s still no freshness showing
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Had a look and cannot find anything obvious
For testing purposes, Create a test page with [bbp-forum-index] shortcode and see if Freshnesh and then Latest Post appears, if it does not then a conflict it maybe ?
First open this URL to bypass the “coming soon”: https://www.defensivebjj.com/?bypass=turtlez
Then here is a page that should display the topics index: https://www.defensivebjj.com/members-forum-test/
These are the shortcodes I am trying (both bbstyle pack and bbpress)
[bsp-display-topic-index show=”20″ forum =”611″ search=”no” breadcrumb=”no”]
[bbp-single-forum id="611"]
The shortcode I use for BBPress is [bbp-forum-index] and it shows freshness for myself.
Try this on a test page to see if this works ?
(I am not an expert, so bare-with)
ok, it works in my test site, so I cannot explain why it is not working for you
I am using a wordpress site to make forums with bbpress. We like to have a lot of security and dont like to show ip addresses to anyone other than keymasters, https://prnt.sc/uozyfi is an example of what this looks like.
Is there a way to edit a part in the theme/css or make it so only keymasters can see ips?
Please use baby steps or something that someone who is moderatley tech literate can use.
Theme: OceanWP
Theme Version: 1.8.9

I remembered where I saw indented sub-lists – it was section 4 of part 2 of the step by step guide. It says there that indented sub-lists are the default but when I created the test child forum mentioned above it appeared left-justified not indented. I think indented looks better. Why shouldn’t the default be working for me?
Thank you – good to know that I haven’t done something wrong. Having been encouraged to dig deeper I now believe that the sub-lists I noticed somewhere must have been child forums of a parent forum.
I’ve created a test child forum and it does appear beneath the parent forum on the main page.
Thanks, Mark, but I’m not sure what you exactly said.
If you mean I ask Xenforo to help me, then that’s pretty much clear they won’t do anything about it. It’s like someone asks you to help him/her to migrate from bbpress to Xenforo. Will you do it? of course not! Why should they help me upgrade your plugin in order to support migrating from their latest version of forum software to yours? (logically they will help those who are using your forum, to migrate to their forum. Not the other way around)
But if I misunderstood, would you mind clarifying it, please?
Hello
I tried to add a new forum, This error appeared.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 163840 bytes) in /home/vnyeklac/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-object-cache.php on line 446
I looked at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-fatal-error/ .
However I cannot solved this problem.
What should I do?
Thanks for watching.
My bbpress version is 2.6.5
php version is 7.4
wordpress version is 5.5.1
All latest version
Hi Heroyouwi, I hope you are happy to answer this. I have tried your phpbb 3.2.9 fix bbpress import script and sadly it failed. I am using phpBB 331 and the latest bbPress. What is the likely issue?
Many thanks.
Hi
My permalink looks like this for all forum pages. The double use of forum. It looks unnecessary and is appearing in site tests as an issue. In edit, I have no option to remove. Instead I will have to create a 301 for all the topics. Is there a reason for this double use and can it be removed? thanks

Using version 2.65 on the latest WP.
I need a little help with the BBpress converter. I am importing data (4000 users) from a phpBB (latest version) database in the locahost database. The converter consistently just goes straight to ‘Stopped’ no matter what I do.
Where is the log for this utility so I can debug?
Thanks,
Stewart
Hello,
When I try to import forums and users from our Xenforo forum, it doesn’t work. Our Xenforo version is 2.1.5.
Is there a plan to support this version of Xenforo? Seems like the latest supported version to import is 1.4.2 which is unsupported version for many years now. Even Xenforo 2.0 is no longer supported.
Thanks
It is extremely disappointing not to have had any reply to this question. I have reached the point where I have upgraded phpBB to the latest version and moved the original phpBB data to the new server so I can run the import to and from the ‘localhost’, and still it fails. I am 100% confident that everything is correct.
What really gets me is the lack of feedback. The application just says ‘Stopped’ every time I try something. Every time. Is there a log somewhere?
If I don’t get some sort of help or guidance soon I will simply give up on BBPress and WordPress. Surely there is someone who knows what’s going on?
Thank you in anticipation.
Hey Robin,
hope this message finds you, due to the spam above. How ironic that this forum message is about spam blocking:
You were right with the “stop words”. Strangely, though, i have not been adding them via bbpress but instead using a plugin called “BanHammer”. It has helped greatly in stopping spam signups, but i didn’t realise that it added the strings to the “Settings –> Discussion –> “Disallowed Comment Keys” part.
I had added the string “gmail.com” as I was getting some spam signups, and realised that the account i used to test post a comment was in fact my gmail.com account. So there you go. BanHammer and stop words.
Thx again for your help, this is invaluable due to the amount of traffic we will shortly have.
thx.
This topic is now closed.
Hi there and thx for your reply on this matter,
I have checked the Discussion settings and I cannot find the error. I have not added any stop-words and just to test a post, all I wrote was the word “test” as comment (which was rejected).
Interestingly, I tried using a different user with only “participant” status and this worked. But there is no obvious reason why.
I also set up a new, dummy account with “participant” status and this didn’t work.
So I am at a loss.
Hi,
I have a lot of bbPress plugins, and all are up to date (free and pro): https://bbpress.dev4press.com/. What kind of features are you looking for? You can request the test website access from my website.
Regards,
Milan
Sorry, this is a simplification, it is indeed defined above this block, but even if I give it a content value of ‘Test’ I still get “Oh, bother! No topics were found here.”
Hi there,
a user with the forum status “participant” tried to answer a forum post but when after clicking on send, it gave the error “ERROR: Your reply cannot be edited at this time.”
I cannot see why this is happening, but i offered to post his message using my “Admin” account (also “keymaster” in forum). and this worked.
Any ideas why it won’t for his account`?
I am reluctant to test it with another account, as my users may get a notification email.
thx in advance.
Hey folks,
my head is aching, I can’t find out why my forum’s site is cut off below the message field as soon as I allow guests to post without registration in wordpress settings. Not only the footer is gone, but also the submit button. What’s the point?! I use the latest version of wordpress and bbpress, elementor is my editor. Login and Registration works fine and when I restrict posting on members only, everything works perfectly on my page. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Maybe another bbpress add on plug-in?
Thank you so much!!
Cheers,
Lilian
just registered and tried it – not bbpress as such, I can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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.
Then come back
First I thought that it works after I copy paste it in the extra css. I paste it after another css extra:
a{
color:#527e12!important;
text-decoration:underline;
}
#qt_bbp_topic_content_toolbar {
display: none !important;
}
But when I login with a (test) subscriber-account I still see that green block. Is there maybe another solution?
