    Just thought I would post the conclusion here: although the hosting company (which is quite reliable) showed me in the server settings that emails and bcc’s are unlimited, I installed the WP Mail SMTP plugin (pro) with the email log and could clearly see bcc’s were being curtailed somehow. So, I added the asynCRONoug bbPress Subscriptions plugin and it works like a charm. Problem solved. Thank you so much for your assistance.

    Thank you Robin, I’m looking into it! Do you think this might also fix the problem of some people not receiving notifications from the website?

    Just wanted to add that I used the patch, and it worked. Thanks!

    Hi Mike, thank you for your quick reply! I’m always a little concerned about messing with plugin files, so I will need to decide whether to try that or try the plugin that’s recommended. I do appreciate the availability of really useful plugins like bbPress. Thanks.

    Is there by chance a fix coming for this issue? I’m a bit uncomfortable pasting in a patch, but I have forum participants up in arms because topics are not updating with the most recent post. If I run the repair fix: “Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum”, the topics update, but once people start posting again the latest post no longer shows up on the Forum list. Thank you!

    I will keep that in mind, thanks! It’s a small enough group that we’ll try using the plug-in first, but if that’s too cumbersome, we’ll look at alternatives. Thank you again!

    Robkk, thank you so much, the plug-in looks like a good alternative. Appreciate your help!

    Robin, this looks great! Search zips right along! I will load it up live tonight. Thank you SO MUCH!

    Hi Robin,
    Thanks so much, this is an improvement, although as you noted it is very slow, and I am sure that I will hear complaints about that 🙂 However it is better to get all of the results, and I will explain to folks that the forum is quite large and it’s a lot of data to search through. I am concerned about what will happen as the forum continues to increase in size, but this will work for the time being. Thank you again for being so responsive. I’m going to post it up live on Monday so that I’ll be around to monitor things.

    It’s a very active group — 19 forums altogether, 6 of which are private (all of them are members-only, not public); 2,956 topics and 12,424 replies to date.

    So if I have bbP Private Groups de-activated, logged in as admin, or as a regular user without access to private groups, I see 1-20 of 174, with pagination to view all the results (since none of them are blocked from view for either user).

    With bbP Private Groups activated, as an admin I see 1-20 of 20 results (no pagination, no further results); as a regular user I see 1-18 of 18 results. I can’t filter out which of the 174 should be blocked as private to give you a count on how many the “regular” user should be seeing (unless you know a way to do this, I am happy to try).

    Thanks!

    Hi Robin, well that works out nicely!
    So, I only see that I have 174 results (searching for the term ‘paper’) when bbP Private Groups is de-activated; with it activated (logged in as admin) I get 20 results; logged in a regular user without private forum access, I get 18 results. (1-18 of 18 total according to the count at the top.) The 174 results apply to both levels of users when bbP Private Groups is de-activated, because then both users have access to all the forums, private or not. Please let me know if there’s any additional information that I can provide. Thanks again!

    Ah — thank you so much, I should have thought of that first thing. I did as you recommend, and the bug appears to be caused by the bbP Private Groups plug-in. When I de-activate it, I get the full results count (174 on my test) with pagination, as desired. I’ve got an inquiry in with that plug-in developer and hopefully I’ll get a fix, as the site members depend on the private groups function. Thank you again!

    Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately it did not work (I added semicolon after 50; still no joy). This would be a great temporary fix; ideally I’d like to get search results with pagination, so I could have 20 per page but if someone really wanted to view ALL results they could. Thanks again!
