bbPress.org

Hi there,

We’re using bbPress with the Simple Membership plugin, and the site is built with the GeneratePress theme. Here’s the staging site for reference: https://iu9d4mv2wm-staging.onrocket.site/forums/

Login is handled through Simple Membership, but profile behavior is different than the typical bbPress/WordPress setup.

When a member creates a topic or reply, they can click on their avatar or name to access their forum profile — which includes favorites, subscriptions, activity, etc. However, if a user hasn’t posted yet, there’s no way for them to access their profile, because their avatar/name doesn’t appear anywhere.

Is there a shortcode, function, or recommended method to add a “View My Profile” link at the top of the forums (or anywhere else), even if the user hasn’t posted?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hi!

I’m wondering if the support forums on WordPress.org are powered by bbPress or a custom solution. I noticed that replies support Gutenberg blocks, which is not available in the default bbPress plugin.

Is WordPress.org using a customized version of bbPress with Gutenberg integration? If so, is this integration available publicly, or is it a custom internal implementation?

Thanks!

Read the blog post here: https://bbpress.org/blog/2025/04/bbpress-2-6-13-is-out/

Go get 2.6.13 from: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress 🐝

When I open Dashboard → Replies → Add new reply I get 500 error and this in php logs:

[16-Apr-2025 13:27:10 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /Users/chefranov/Sites/mysite.loc/wp-includes/class-wp-object-cache.php on line 363

Hi all,

I’ve been doing a test run today to import my old phpBB board to bbpress, and it worked surprisingly well (as in: the whole process finished without hanging).

In the end, though, I do have a number of problems, and I was wondering if anyone doing a similar import was able to solve them.

– The old board has thousands of registered users (many of them spammers :/ ), and I didn’t want to clutter my WordPress install with all those accounts, especially since it’s a multisite install and I’m mainly migrating the board for archiving purposes. So I didn’t check the “import user accounts” box, but now all user names are just “Anonymous”. Any way to migrate the user names without the accounts?

– It seems like quoted posts are broken, as the “bbcode_quote” tag isn’t applied where it should be.

– Smilies aren’t imported properly. The relative path to the smilies is lost, and when there’s more than one smiley in a row, only the first one has an image tag.

– [img] tags aren’t being properly converted either. Or rather the conversion seems to work ok, but after the actual link, the [img] code, which bbpress can’t read, is retained for some reason.

– Like I said, overall conversion seemed to work well, but cluttered the error log with hundreds of these messages:

PHP Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/parser.php on line 1289

Anything to worry about?

– I understand that no attachments are imported by default, but maybe someone found a workaround?

Thanks!

So totally new to WordPress Plugin development so bare with me, please

On a website that use BBPress we are hoping to be able to do some edits on the text on posts as they are loaded just before they are shown and I figure I need to use either a filter or an action to get the ‘event’ when posts are loaded from DB.

But which exactly is it? ChatGPT suggested a filter which does not actually exist

May there is an example of how to do something like this somewhere?

Using Version 2.6.12 of BBPress

I cannot subscribe to group forums.
When clicking “subscribe”, nothing happens.
I created a private test forum. In this test forum, subscribe works just fine, i.e. the link changes to “unsubscribe”.

https://metaphorum.org
WP 6.7.2
Astra, Astra Pro. I did not try with a standard theme because it works on my test forum.
bbpress: 2.6.12
BuddyPress: 14.3.4

Hallo, ich habe gesucht, aber keinen Hinweis gefunden, deshalb frage ich hier nach in der Hoffnung, Hilfe zu bekommen.

Ich habe bbPress 2.6.12 und WordPress 6.6.2. Ich benutze das Theme Astra, habe aber auch schon Twentytwentyfive ausprobiert. Ich habe auch schon verschiedene Browser benutzt und die Caches gelöscht.
Aber egal was ich tue, immer wenn ich auf die von mir erstellten Foren klicke, lande ich wieder auf der Startseite. Ich habe jetzt schon 3 Stunden mit einer KI hin und her geschrieben – leider ohne Erfolg. Jetzt wende ich mich an euch, vielleicht hat ja jemand eine Lösung für mich.

Meine Seite: https://omasgegenrechts-darmstadt.de/
und die Forenseite: https://omasgegenrechts-darmstadt.de/austausch/

Ich habe die Forenseite wieder aus dem Menu genommen, weil sie ja nicht funktioniert.

Viele liebe Grüße und schonmal dankeschön
