like all free software it takes time and energy to maintain them. Many get abandoned because the authors no longer use them themselves, so have no impetus to keep them updated. I have written several plugins that I no longer use, and it is a great effort to keep them live.
Thanks Robin…. I didnt think I could activate and deactivate after making any changes to subscriptions… Thats great info! 🙂 Especially for a plugin thats not been updated for 4 years…
The toolkit looks like a great project… Is there a reason its been abandoned and no one has taken it on?
I used to login to the forum and the login box would be replaced by my profile.
ok, so when did this change, and what have you updated/changed?
ok, I’ve released version 5.0.6 of my style pack plugin.
Once you have updated to this version you will find
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support where you can enable theme support for your 2022 child theme
please confirm that this works
Is bbPress no longer being updated?
It shows Last Updated: 8 months ago Untested with your version of WordPress
We are on WordPress 6.01.
I want to buy a theme for bbPress but am afraid it won’t work since it hasn’t been updated in so long 🙂
Hi! I have problem in bbpress forum, we have bbpress forum on our page on this link https://bmedic-online.cz/diskuzni_fora/. You can see whole forum, but in individual categories you have no access, but when you click “Biologie” or “Chemie” it announces you that you have no privilege. Every category works, but “Fyzika” doesnt. Even if you try to enter “Fyzika”, none announcement appear. I am including screenshots of it. On screenshots on “forum.png” you can see whole forum, and when i click on category “Chemie” and “Biologie” it forwards to forum depicted on screen “chemie_forum.png” and “biologie_forum.png”. But when i click on “Fyzika” category, nothing shows up, and it is interesting that icons in admin panel dont show up (in red rectangle on “fyzika_forum.png”).
I dont understand what happend, nobody changed anything.
bbpress version is updated to newest, and wordpress is 5.9.
Link to google drive for screens is here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fKEU15U9GzHaC9KwXJ_XhGe8mSI7HVeC?usp=sharing
Can somebody help me?
Greetings
I’m administrating a small forum currently on open source Vanilla, but they seem to discontinue their open source version and I’m looking for other solutions. Since we’re also already on WordPress bbPress seems like a choice to look into, but I’m worried we’ll get into the same situation again with the software being discontinued or outdated.
When I installed bbPress I noticed it said untested with the current version of WordPress, but also it does seem to be updated the past year so there may be no problem.
I need to ask though if bbPress is alive and planning to be alive for the future?
Are there any security concerns with it being updated so rarely or that’s perfectly fine?
Thank you in advance!
You’re correct! If I deactivate bbPress Tookit the column disappears. Guess I need to report the issue to Pascal Casier instead? However he hasn’t updated his plug-in for 4 years so probably no great hope. I think I used it to allow users to subscribe to individual forums. Is this possible in other ways or with other plugins?
My website keswickmountaineeringclub.com uses forums, e.g. to log information about rock climbing meets. The Meets forum says it has 113 subscribers, but if you list the subscribers and count them you find there are 93. If you list the notification emails sent out you see (scattered throughout the list of emails in the email log) 20 mails that have been sent to an empty (missing) email address. I’m guessing, but maybe when deleting some old club members the email notification list has not been updated correctly? It looks as if the list of email addresses used to send out notifications is not synchronised with the list of subscribed members. Is there a way to fix this?
I’m currently using WordPress 6.0. bbpress version 2.6.9. bbP private groups 3.9.1. bbp style pack 5.0.5. bbPress Toolkit 1.0.12.
I would like to add some non-verbal icon reactions for various posts, but looking in WordPress.org, I found this one:
DW Reactions
But it has not been updated in years.
Can someone know whether it would still be stable enough to add, or would have any other recommendation?
I would like be able to send email notifications to specific people when new topics or replies are posted.
Exactly like what this plug in does:
bbPress Notifications
However, it was last updated 9 years ago.
Is this plug in still in use? Or is there a newer one?
Would you mind removing my debug information from my earlier post? Thanks.
Another quick question: Can you recommend a replacement for bbpress WP Tweaks? It hasn’t been updated in several years and my security software advises me to remove it.
I use it so I can have a unique sidebar for the bbpress forum (using twenty-seventeen).
so the key data is
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given in /home2/lemonst5/public_html/wp-content/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/incs/moderation.php:111
so the plugin ‘moderation-tools-for-bbpress’ is causing the error, from memory the issue is with it running with php8.x.
This plugin is closed and not being updated.
However I have incorporated all that functionality into my style pack plugin, where this error should not occur.
so deactivate the moderation-tools-for-bbpress and delete and then
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation.
I have updated my style pack to detect and let you use 2022.
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support.
There are lots of settings in this plugin to let you improve the look of bbpress.
Yeah, I have it as well. But since they are not going to keep it updated, maybe some fork or alternative is worth being considered?
ok reinstall wordpress and database didnt work :/
Maybe wordpress 5.9 updated something,
Can anyone suggest me a theme that allowed html formatting tool bar of bbpress work. (Only theme I know that have html tool bar is twenty-twenty one)
Or is there anyway I can enable html formatting tool bar for other theme? (Just make sure I have enable it in the setting but most themes do not seems to have it)
Thanks!
Hi there. I discovered bbPress circa 2007. I might have updated the version since, and most likely did. I probably stopped using it by 2010. I don’t know how to even determine what version it is (filename ?).
At that time, I was not using WordPress on that domain. I used bbPress as a standalone forum software.
Bottom line: is it possible to upgrade that installation? What would be my steps to at least salvage the db, perhaps install a WordPress and re-use the old bbPress. Quite honestly, just curious.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply. I am using BuddyPress and tried your suggestion but it didn’t change anything. I am not sure where the nickname that is showing is coming from. Everything I can find has been updated.
hmmm… that code looks fine.
I’m not quite sure what you mean in
Also I try with the update in the root of functions.php this works, sort of, because the update is done, but the select dropdown in the user profile in the admin page get stuck in the old one, but in code the selected one is the updated, if I get out and enter again is fixed.
have you access to the database?
WP version: 5.8.3
bbpress version: 2.6.9
site is in a local environment at the moment.
I’m trying to update the role for the users once they enroll in course. I manage to found an entry point for this with “learndash_update_course_access” once there is an update in the user courses list. This part works. What is giving me troubles is the update of the user bbpress roles.
This is the most raw code I try:
add_action( 'learndash_update_course_access', 'updatebbpressrole', 20, 4 );
function updatebbpressrole ($user_id, $course_id, $course_access_list, $remove) {
$new_role_forum_role = "bbp_blocked";
bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, $new_role_forum_role );
}
I try with a pair of custom roles I have, but it also happens with the basics bbpres roles too, so is not related to the new roles.
Also I try with the update in the root of functions.php this works, sort of, because the update is done, but the select dropdown in the user profile in the admin page get stuck in the old one, but in code the selected one is the updated, if I get out and enter again is fixed.
Any idea about why bbp_set_user_role is not working this way ?
Fully updated bbpress (removed homemade files) add advice change fils to child theme, – but nothing has changed again, user’ replies can be seen everyone.
I’ve seen this before, already updated Redux plugin to the latest version but problem seems not to be resolved
Thanks Robin.
After your comment on my other issue I pasted this code into the custom css part of my child theme and it worked when placed in there.
So I went back to my child theme and found a typo in an earlier entry which meant nothing after that was being picked up. Once that was fixed and the document version updated it picked up both these changes.
The child theme css is /themes/newsphere-child-theme/style.css?ver=1.0.2
and I’ve put “my child theme css ATTN Robin W” in it to make it findable.
So my forum-Author column is now wider as I had wanted thank you, but the forum-content area has not reduced correspondingly meaning the author section overlaps the content section and I can’t see a specific width designation for the forum-content area to update.
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content {
margin-left: 130px;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
}
I just found a plugin named Easy Username Updater allowing an admin to change the username and even having a checkbox to send a mail to updated user but user never got the mail. It seems to work on my test site but gave an error when trying to login… Do not use that one !
A second plugin named Username Changer is working without any error and the mail is sent (if selected). This one works like a charm !
I explore this method because all moderators are from my company so I can update and inform them without disturbing customers…
I’ll test that on my production site and let you know the result.

Thank you Robin!!! Your remark: “Tick item 3 on the subscription emails tab”, fixed this issue for us too. I had yet to use this great tab before at all but the problem just appeared.
In our case, it was that the editor “link” button was unable to retain user entered hyperlinks. It’s fine online, but user entered links missing from all bbPress emails. During testing using only: WP 5.8.2, 2021 Theme (we use Kleo theme), and bbPress …it still had this issue. That seems to indicate a relationship between WP and BP.
I updated bbPress on 11/30/2021. WP update date unknown but not listed in the lasted 30 days of my backups, so it was earlier. The issue was first reported to me on 11/20, so this all points to a WP 5.8.2 change cause.
No related php error logs or jquery Migrate deprecation logs seen.
Hope this helps.
