Wordpress automatically updated to 5.3 and broke the forums showing any threads/forums, the title still shows for the forum you are trying to show.

What on earth happened?
I’ve never had BBpress break on wordpress update in 7 years.

I suspect update of bbpress to 2.6 may be the issue – have you updated bbpress as well ?

[Tom]

I looked at my local dev version of my website, and just updated the plugins without updating to wordpress 5.3 and it broke, so its actually the BBPress plugin itself updating that broke itself?

[Robin W]

ok, there is an issue with threads in some cases, and 2.6.1 is due to be released today – I suspect that may fix you

[Tom]

I got the update and updated, but this did nothing, still no threads being displayed.

[Robin W]

ok, is your forums page using the shortcode ?

[Tom]

Nope. I just tried with short codes and still shows no forums/threads.

[Tom]

Bump, this is ridiculous.

[Tom]

I went into settings > forums, pressed the “save changes” button and the forums magically started working again.
There is something wrong with your update that messes settings.

thanks for letting us know – that is useful feedback

@johnjamesjacoby – I have now seen two cases where clicking save has fixed an issue

This one was by going into dashboard>forums> and just clicking save

In another https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-0-update-breaks-forums-index-only-one-level-displayed/ going into the forum, changing the order to 0 and clicking save fixed – I suspect it was just clicking save that fixed it
