As just received from @sergey, you could also set this filter:
add_filter( ‘bbp_is_subscriptions_active’, ‘__return_false’ );

Or just: Settings → Forums → Forum Features → Subscriptions; uncheck “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics”. That should stop all communication directly.

[@casiepa Moderator 7 years, 11 months ago]

This is bbPress, for BuddyPress you could check the BuddyPress forums 🙂

Below just a quick idea to stop ALL email to subscribers, but UNTESTED:

function casiepa_fltr_get_forum_subscribers( $user_ids ) {
	return array();
}; 
// add the filter 
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_user_ids', 'casiepa_fltr_get_forum_subscribers', 10, 1 );

@juliemarie99
If it can help, I have a slightly older plugin ‘bbP Manage Subscriptions’ where you can as admin manually (un)subscribe users.
But it’s manual, one after the other, so I hope you don’t have too many to unsubscribe (bulk actions is on my list, but no time at present to implement)

Hi @netweb, @gmmedia,

I have just installed bbPress 2.5.12 and Yoast SEO 4.4 on a completely new WP 4.7.3. I have found the noindex the very first time on the standard /forums page, but after the following steps it seems I do get SEO info and I can fill keywords at forum level in /wp-admin.

• Install bbPress and activate
• Install Yoast SEO and activate
• In /wp-admin/options-reading.php make sure NOT to have the ‘Search Engine Visibility’ ticked
• Run the Yoast SEO configuration wizard from /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_dashboard#top#general and make sure to mark forums as ‘Visible’.

So at least Yoast SEO works.

If somebody else can do further testing, that would be great.

[@casiepa Moderator 7 years, 11 months ago]

@reedy @juliemarie99,

Some extra info would be needed:
– I understand that you want an option to centrally activate like ‘Do not send out email’. Let me have a quick look at that.
– But what do you mean with ‘keep notifications in the forum’ ?

Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 7 years, 11 months ago]

Unfortunately that is not possible in bbPress and to be honest I have not seen any plugin doing that so far. There are some discussions ongoing concerning bumping and sinking where replies could go higher or lower in the list, but that discussion is still ongoing and not so easy to implement.

If you want to program yourself, I would think about adding the ID of the replies you are hiding to the meta of a user, or adding the ID of the user as a meta of the reply and then based on that display the reply or not.

Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 7 years, 11 months ago]

I have added it for now into my ‘bbP Toolkit’ plugin (v1.0.8) while waiting for https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3046 to be implemented.

Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 7 years, 11 months ago]

This is not a plugin issue, but a theme issue. Please try to change theme.
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 7 years, 11 months ago]

Hi,
Could you give some extra info ? What do you mean by ‘hiding replies’ ?
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 7 years, 11 months ago]

You would somewhere have to create a WordPress user, get the ID and change the post_author of all ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ in the DB to this ID.

I did a quick search but did not find a plugin for that…

Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years ago]

Hi,
Plugin is on https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-api/ but let me see to copy the code to GitHub this weekend.

@jpvanmuijen on 2 of my forums it seems to give stats, but we should have that discussion at the support forum for bbp-api 🙂
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years ago]

Hi,
For specific questions when using that plugin, it might be better to ask on the dedicated forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-sort-topic-replies

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years ago]

Hi,
Can I take one step back?
If a user needs to receive an email when a new topic gets created in a forum, (s)he can just subscribe to the forum and bbPress will do the rest. You don’t need any extra plugins for that.
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years ago]

For uploa­ding files, the 3 products I know of are ‘GD bbpress Attach­ments’, ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ and ‘bbP­ress Multi Image Uploa­der’. Have a look if it would fit your needs.

If you use BuddyP­ress as well, then there is also ‘Bud­dyP­ress Forum Editor’.

Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years ago]

Okay, I have put my first version on https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-api/
Please help me test it (replies should be added in the next days).
For all further questions/remarks concerning this plugin, please use the support forum of the plugin.
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years ago]

If you give me the sitename to remove and the topic links where I can find them, I can do it.
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years ago]

@lbonini
see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-beta/
It has been added to 2.6 already, so we are close to release !
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years ago]

Hi,
You are referring to ‘posts’, so maybe you mean standard WordPress blog posts ? In that case you better ask the question on https://wordpress.org/support/

If you mean bbPress ‘Topics’ or ‘Replies’, then your admin panel should only show you some topics or replies at a time, so you should be able to see them under the corresponding headers in your menu and delete them.

Topics and Replies are stored in the database as standard posts, so they should be there.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years ago]

Hi,

If you need support for a specific plugin, please post your question on the support forum of the plugin (https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack in this case).

Regards,
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years, 1 month ago]

Hi Sally,

As you might have seen, we have moved away from the alpha version and even Beta 1 is replaced with Beta 2. So if really no major issues are found, I suspect (no, I hope!) to see 2.6 in a couple of weeks !
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years, 1 month ago]

Hi,
This forum is for bbPress. You question seems to be related to WordPress and BuddyPress, so I think the places would be https://wordpress.org/support or https://buddypress.org/support/
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years, 1 month ago]

Hi,
If replies do work correctly on one page but not on another, I indeed suspect your theme to do strange things. Can I propose to ask it on the support page of the theme ?
Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years, 1 month ago]

Hi,

My bbP Toolkit should have an option in ‘Global’ to change it to any character.

Pascal.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years, 1 month ago]

Hi,
If you are only talking about notifications for new topics into the forum (so not for new replies to a topic), then there is no need to give anybody the keymaster role ! People can just subscribe to a forum and will automatically get a notification when a new topic is created.

If you are admin of the site, feel free to check a tool I have created about 2 years ago called ‘bbP Manage Subscriptions’ where you can see and adapt who is subscribed to what. The tool will be improved with some bulk options, but if you don’t have hundreds of users, it might help to manually click and give or remove subscription.

Pascal.

Hi @renaisens,
Feel free to share it so others can find it here too.
