bbcode showing up as plain text in replies

Published on September 15th, 2025 by a7xfanben

When a user quotes another post using the quote button, their post shows the bbcode as plain text. I tried to recreate the issue on my end with a test account (non-admin) in incognito mode, and was not able to recreate the issue. Any idea what could be causing it? (example linked below)

WordPress version: 6.8.2
bbPress version: 2.6.14

Bug https url

If you enter a URL www.google.com, http is placed in front instead of https.
You must enter https://www.google.com to have the correct https in front.

hide avatar only in sticky topic

Published on September 10th, 2025 by andrew55

I have this css in my child theme css file:

.bbp-topics ul.sticky .bbp-author-avatar {
    display: none !important;
}

But it doesn’t hide the avatar. Any suggestions on how to get this to work properly?

sort topic by value

Published on September 9th, 2025 by andrew55

Is there a plugin or function to sort topics by weight? In other words, a field where a numerical value can be added, and if a value exist in this field, it brings the topic to top of topic lists.

And each topic that has a value in it, if the value is higher than other values of topics, the highest values are are the top of topic lists. And then topics which have no values are sorted in topic list in default manner.

I’ve seen sorting set up with values like this in all types of scripts, and just hoping there is a way to accomplish this in bbPress.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Forum pages are missing structured data for discussion forums

Published on September 9th, 2025 by Ricsca2

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:

Is there anything I can do?

Private forum – some users receive subscription emails, others don’t

Published on September 5th, 2025 by wp1945225

Hello,

We are running bbPress 2.6.14 on a WordPress 6.8.2 site with a private forum.

We have noticed a strange issue:

Some subscribed users receive email notifications when new topics/replies are posted.

Other subscribed users (from the same forum) do not receive anything.

We checked spam/junk folders, nothing there.

Trying to unsubscribe and resubscribe does not solve the issue.

So I have two main questions:

Where are subscriptions stored in the database with bbPress 2.6.14?

I don’t see a wp_bbp_engagements table in my DB.

I also don’t see any _bbp_subscriptions or _bbp_topic_subscriptions entries in wp_usermeta.

Yet some users clearly do receive notifications.

How does bbPress decide who gets notified?

Is it handled directly via wp_mail() when a reply/topic is created?

Could private forums behave differently compared to public ones?

Troubleshooting guidance

Is there a way to “rebuild” or “reset” subscriptions to ensure consistency?

Should I try to manually create the wp_bbp_engagements table if it is missing?

I’d really appreciate if someone could clarify how subscription data is stored and how email notifications are triggered in bbPress 2.6.14, so I can debug why some users receive emails and others don’t.

Thanks a lot!

VERY HIGH log spam on every page load

Published on September 4th, 2025 by kal123

I have disabled all plugins other than buddypress and bbpress.
Issue requires both to enabled. buddypress by itself does not cause this.

I am seeing this VERY HIGH log spam on every page load:

Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the bbpress domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in …/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121

Bug of the code: preventing a subscriber from accessing the WordPress backend

Published on September 3rd, 2025 by yt

Hello
My question is:
In the address

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

In the issue
25.Restricting User Access to the WordPress backend

Add this PHP code snippet so that only users who can only edit posts can access the WordPress admin section.
Which was introduced to prevent the logged-in user from accessing the counter of the following code

/**
* Redirect back to homepage and not allow access to
* WP backend for Subscribers.
*/
function rkk_redirect_admin(){
if ( ! current_user_can( ‘edit_posts’ ) ){
wp_redirect( site_url() );
exit;
}
}
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘rkk_redirect_admin’ );

The code works fine, but the bug is that:

Although it appears to prevent a common user from accessing the WordPress dashboard, the same user can easily bypass the code ban and log in to the dashboard by opening a new tab in the browser and entering the address

https://wordpress.org/wp-admin/

in that tab and pressing Enter. This is the bug in the above code.

The question is:
How can I change the above code to prevent the trick of logging into the dashboard as described above?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Remove Yellow Highlight in Forum for Sticky Closed Notes

WordPress version 6.8.2
bbPress version 2.6.14

In my forum, I have some sticky notes that are closed. They have a yellow highlight around them and I can’t figure out how to remove it.

How to remove yellow highlights?

I have tried a number of CSS overrides but no success. Any ideas? I feel like I am missing something simple.

Thank you!
