FSE footer in 2024 and 2025

  • First off, Kudos and thank you for this endeavor. bbPress is a nice, hackable, code base that serves its purpose very well; integrating with/and being built on WordPress. Sadly it’s lost conductivity with the evolving WordPress platform, namely FSE. Your plugin has given it a chance for a longer lifespan. Thank you for your hard work!

    Unfortunately, I do see issues with basic themes like Twenty Twenty Four and Twenty Twenty Five in the footer area. The steps to reproduce the problem are basic:

    1) Basic WP install, select 2024 or 2025 as the main theme.
    2) Install bbPress, optionally, create a “General Forum”, and a “General Topic”.
    3) Install bbStyle Pack and select the FSE option; following the directions…

    Note the footer in WordPress’ default home page and how it loses styling when visiting the ‘forums’. I.e. https://example.dev.pw/ vs https://example.dev.pw/forums/.

    I’m seeing columns, width, margin/padding that looks very different from the default WordPress’ pages.

    I should add that it appears that the /forums/ pages have empty head tags. Rather, it looks like stylesheets and JavsScript is being injected in the body tags. Likewise, the body tag itself is missing class names found on a typical installations of 2024 and 2025.

    just for clarity

    is the issue identical in 2024 and 2025

    Is it ok with say 2023 and 2022?

    It is identical in 2024, and 2025, it’s not empty head tags (that’s my debugging introduced issue). I did do a differential between the “/sample-page” and “/forum” and they are mostly identical. However, some style tags appear to be moved from <head> down to below <footer>, i.e. <style id=’wp-block-site-logo-inline-css’>. How this contributes to the footer rendering, I’m not sure. I tried manually moving the styles back to the head in a captured HTML file and it made no difference.
