I’ve been searching for a way to return the titles and links of every topic on my forum. I’m familiar with HTML and CSS, but a PHP novice, which I think is my downfall here.
I found a call to
<?php the_content();?>
which seems to be generating the big grey box with a list of all the topics (image link: https://imgur.com/a/fKamtGH)
However, I just want to return the topic titles and links to each topic, not the entire box. I can’t seem to find / write a PHP method that does this, does anyone have any advice?

I have tried looking through this forum to find what I need, and I just can’t seem to do so.
I am by no means a coder, but I said I would help a friend put together a forum, and I would like everyone who clicks on the “forum” access button at the top of the page to be forced to log in if they are not already logged in. I would then like them to see the main forum page, not the dashboard unless they have higher clearance than participants.
How does one do that? I saw someone post about the Private groups plugin… but will it do what I want it to do?

Hi,
WP 5.7.3 Admiral. Latest version of bbpress.
https://www.seignalet-plus.com/forums/forum/surviving-the-scamdemic/
I have a no right click plug in on my site. How can I exclude it from the forum? I want people to be able to post links (apart from spammers of course 😉 ) and be able to embed videos.
I’ve looked at all the no right click plug ins and none seem to have that capability.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I already have a website up and running for 5 years.
Now we want a Forum. It will be private by invite only.
Can I add the plugin to my website?
Or do I need to create a brand new/unique WordPress install in a different folder and install the plugin?

Hi, we are using BBPress on ccwbra.com with WordPress 5.5.6 running Total theme.
Our users can reach the forum landing page(https://ccwbra.com/forums_test/), but get 404 Page could not be found error when accessing any Forum or Topic.

Hi,
I’m experiencing some really odd behaviour when trying to change the slug for my Buddypress group directory (under which all my BBpress forums are housed) and redirect traffic.
My set-up is: BP 9.1.1; BBp 2.6.6, WP 5.8.1
Short explanation:
- traffic to a pre-change (/[old]/[groupname]) group url is being redirected to (/[new]/[groupname]/forum)
- This happens regardless of whether:
- There is a specific redirect in place
- There is a regex redirect in place (/[old]/(.*) to /[new]/$1/)
- There is no redirect at all
- My redirect provider – Rank Math – can’t explain this.
I’ve not modified my hta, and the only other redirect rules in page on the site relate to post-login behaviour. It seems there’s something deep within Buddypress, BBpress or WordPress which is driving this, but I have no idea what.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this abd how to address it? I dare not make this change on my live site without resolving and having a clear idea what’s behind it.
Appreciate any suggestions…

Hi,
I just installed BBpress and tried to register. The email does not arrive. It seems that this is a common problem. I looked at the competitor forum plug in support forum and same problem with that plug in.
A poster wrote that he solved the problem by having the registration without email. How do I set that up? I have the BBpress tweaks plug in.
Alternatively is there a way of sending the email through mailchimp or similar? I have a mailchimp account.

I recently had an attack on my forum where almost 14,000 posts were made in rapid succession, all with oriental characters. This wasn’t my main forum, but a secondary forum, so the contents isn’t super-important, although I’d like to preserve it if possible.
I’ve tried sending the offending topics to trash, but there are at this point 11,000 of them, and every time I try to delete even 100 using the Bulk actions, I get a Resource limit message with a 503 or 505 error. I can’t possibly delete the topics one at a time! I’ve tried sending the entire forum to trash, but I get the same thing.
In addition, I don’t understand how there could be topics started by Anonymous, when in my forum settings I have that ability UNchecked. After the attack, I upped the flood control settings to 90 seconds, and closed that forum, but I still don’t understand how they got in to do all that!
I’m on bbPress 2.6.6, WordPress 5.8.1, and the site is http://bluebirdnut.com/forums/. The forum where the bogus posts are located is the second one listed, Soup to Nuts forum.

Everything was working just fine, until over the weekend. Suddenly started getting an error saying “you do not have permission to start a new topic” for all users except admins. (Every member has participant role for forums)
Looked here and found a tip to remap my users, said that would fix the problem. Remapped users.
Message changed to “you cannot create new topics” for everyone except admin.
Where do I set the permission for all participants to be able to create new topics?
Thank you!

I am looking to achieve ( I think) what does not work on the https://bbpress.org/forums/new-topic/ page currently ?
On the left of this page is a Tab named Feeds, both ‘All Recent Posts’ and ‘All Recent Topics’ which do not work
I am ideally looking at a way to list recent replies / posts without limiting the search to newest post per Topic ?
