I get this warning in Search Console…

More than 2,000 of your forum pages are missing structured data for discussion forums.
Once implemented, Google can identify and display related online discussions on your site in relevant search results features.

And it redirects me to this guide:

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/discussion-forum?hl=en&authuser=1

Is there anything I can do?

I suspect not, but you’d need to get an expert on google stuff to say definitively.

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

you replied that the forum should already do this.

If I said something about google, it was not in this context or with this understanding on specific structured data – I have little knowledge of google

Yoast told me…
sorry, but Google Translate forgot a part 😅

PS
Did you get my email with the site?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

what exactly did Yoast tell you?

and yes I got your email, I will take a look at it shortly 🙂

The key word in their answer is ‘should’ – by which they mean that they do not intend to do it, and they think that each forum provider (in this case bbpress) ‘should’ do this – but free software only contains what the software authors want it to. From a small amount of looking at that article, I’d suggest that it would be 1-3 weeks work to provide a solution as either a google structured expert would need to learn bbpress or a bbpress expert would need to learn google structured, and not something that I have any interest in doing – sorry 🙁
