Hmm, it’s possible there is some sort of conflict happening.
It occasionally happens, for instance, that other plugins (or even your theme) generate additional admin menu entries at exactly the same position used by another plugin (in this case, bbPress). In such a case, one will ‘win’ and the other will not be visible. I don’t know that that is what is happening here, but it’s an example of the sort of conflict that is possible.
Do you have a staging or testing site where you can deactivate all other plugins (except for bbPress) and switch to a default theme—do the admin menu items show up then?
Alternatively, you could make use of the (humorously-named, but useful) poopy.life service to generate a brand new WordPress sandbox. It only stays alive for 24hrs, but that would possibly be enough time to see if you can install bbPress and use it successfully in a ‘clean’ environment. If you can, that would again indicate there is some kind of conflict on your live site.
You could even troubleshoot ‘in reverse’ via this sandbox site, by incrementally adding your theme and other plugins and checking to see if any introduce this particular problem.
Using 2.6-rc-7 (and testing against Twenty Seventeen) I don’t seem to experience the same problem: if I locate a copy of that same stylesheet within:
themes/twentyseventeen/css/bbpress.css
It is loaded as expected, instead of the default version.
Forgot to mention, i installed SiteHealth Plugin to see if that would work and its email passed the test. ie, i recieve the test emails.just not the live ones. thanks
“This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress”
(And it was last updated four years ago)
This seems to be the story with a bunch of “like button” plugins. I wonder why?

Hello,
I have a legacy version of BBPress (0.9.0.2). I was going to migrate to the WordPress version, but that seems difficult plus mine isn’t a WordPress website.
I’d like to ask for your advice: is it safe, security wise to keep this old version of BBPress? What could happen? I have activated several plugins, including the Human Test to keep a tight control over new posts.
I’m also looking into deactivating new registrations/topics and keeping it online as an archive.
Security is my main concern.
Thank you.

Hi all: after further testing, this only happened because it was a staging site, i.e. WP was installed in an unusual subfolder. Now that is no longer staging, works correctly.
Hi,
I really like bbpress, but i’ve been having a problem on my website. I’ve downloaded the plugin, activated it. Created forum, register, and lost password pages. Checked “Anyone can register” in settings. Yet, when I try to to register with username and email address in Incognito mode to test it out. after clicking the final “register” button the page just acts as if it refreshed. and no verification is sent to my email address.
Somebody help..
Hmm…well, I don’t think it’s anything nefarious.
WordPress is testing to see if any URLs inside those posts point to content that can be embedded and—though in your case I’m guessing that mostly is not the case, because it sounds like the result is mostly {{unknown}}—it then caches the result of its tests for better efficiency.
If you don’t need or want this, you can disable it. I haven’t needed to do this and so have not tried any of the following guides myself, but perhaps they’ll be useful to you:
Why would the short code for latest topics display the topics for some users but not for others?
Non-logged in users and subscriber/participant levels cannot see the Topics on the page where the shortcode is used – yet they can see everything fine when they go the actual Forums.
But I as admin can see the Topics fine when I visit the page where the shortcode is used.
WordPress 5.1.1
bbPress 2.5.14
I use a widget on my bbpress forum site for recent topis. It’s the standard bbpress widget. Before the topic title are 7 speech bubbles. I don’t know if it’s always seven, but it doesn’t look good and it has no real use. Can I change this to a emoji symbol, like fire, and maybe the number of replies to it? How can I find the right code?
Hello bbPress team and users
I am currently setting up my first bbpress forum. I am using buddypress and gamipress (didnt set it up so far) too.
I use a widget on my bbpress forum site for recent topis. It’s the standard bbpress widget. Before the topic title are 7 speech bubbles.

Another question somebody could maybe anwser. Can I show gamipress ranks and points below the avatar in postings or other informations from buddypress profiles, or any bbpress related informations?
Thank you in advance and have a nice day to the whole in community!
Installed bbPress (2.7RC) to test and I like the improved dashboard for information but still having the import issue – though now I’m informed that it reaches step 6:
Step 6. No forum subscriptions to import
and just doesn’t move past that point. As a note there are no other plugins activated at all in my wordpress install – this is brand new and i’m starting out with the bbPress plugin since it’s the largest potential issue.
I created a site using buddypress. The shortcodes like [bbp-login], [bbp-register], [bbp-lost-pass] not working. It just shows the shortcode. I tested it with the theme Twenty Seventeen and NO other plugin installed. WordPress 5.1.1, PHP 7.3 (tested also with 5.6 and 7.2), and Buddypress 4.2.0.

Thanks for your help.
hi i had created a forum with the bbPress plugin on my block, but then i still want something displaying the latest topic in forum on my front page. I have to look for some plugins to do the job but it is really difficult to find a good one.
it will be a nice thing to me if you can really help thanks!
bbpress is forum software, and with lost of bespoke coding you might possibly get what you want, but you would probably be better looking for a testimonial plugin.
just google ‘wordpress testimonial plugin’
it will be a change

Hi,
I am working on a product testimonials project and would like to know if bbpress is the right plugin for the job. Can it do the following:
Visitors can search and view testimonials
Visitors can create an account to post testimonials
Testimonials will include
Title
Text
product name text field: Product used
product url text field: Product link
if text field blank -> default will be used
Account members can post questions under testimonials – original poster will be notified and can reply
Possibly create a paid account where ads are removed.
Thank you!!
Hello,
I have my WordPress site set to my timezone, but the times shown in the Dashboard Box “Latest Forum Topics and Replies” shows posts with times from a different timezone.
ie I just posted something and looked at the dashboard box and it says “posted 9 hours ago”… (btw my timezone is UTC+9, so it seems the dashboard box is assuming UTC…
By the way, on the forum itself it shows the correct time of posting. So, it only seems to be the dashboard box.
I think this may do it – but I’ve no knowledge of mathml, other than a quick google
This code is untested, but add this to your child theme function file or use the ‘code snippets’ plugin
add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'rew_add_mathml') ;
function rew_add_mathml ($allowed) {
$allowed['math'] = array() ;
$allowed['mo'] = array() ;
$allowed['mi'] = array() ;
return $allowed ;
}
you would need to add lines for other tags required.
can only suggest that something else is putting it there
maybe try
