Thank you, Robin, that worked. So grateful for you! Please provide me the link you gave me before (on a different topic) so I can thank you meaningfully ($) for your research/coding for me!

I ended up creating a link on my “Member Profile” page to the new “profile” page you had me create. (I did this so the user would still see WP-Members “Member Profile” page with its unique information.) I used Code Snippets to add your code.

Not that you need to know this, but: Right after making this change, I had to restore my site because a plugin update (WP-Crontrol) broke the site, and it wouldn’t load. The restore fixed that problem, but caused a problem with my Wordfence connection which messed up my site log-in. It took a while to figure that one out, but after disconnecting and reconnecting Wordfence, I am back to normal (except for needing to make your change again 🙁 …). Plan to do that later.

[janecarole]

Yes.

Can’t find anything in bbPress Notify. Giving up. 🙂

Okay, it turns out that only admins are getting the 2nd email. I unticked the Subscription emails box 3 to see if I could stop the 2nd email to the admins, but it didn’t stop. I’d like to stop it, but have not idea how, so I’ll just leave it as is, unless you have another idea.

Thanks for your help.

One other person got it, and I assumed that all were. The other person is my husband … and I just remembered he is set up as an admin, though he doesn’t function as one! I will set up a test user. Can you tell me how to “deactivate” the subscriptions email tab? I don’t see how to do that.

[janecarole]

This is not spam!! It is a real problem, Robin. Please answer it!

[janecarole]

Would you mind removing my debug information from my earlier post? Thanks.

Another quick question: Can you recommend a replacement for bbpress WP Tweaks? It hasn’t been updated in several years and my security software advises me to remove it.

I use it so I can have a unique sidebar for the bbpress forum (using twenty-seventeen).

[janecarole]

That worked! So relieved. I hate bugs. Thank you!

I already have bbp style pack so it looks like I am good to go. Glad to find out you have added the old plugin’s features to it.

I’d like to make a contribution for your work. How would I do that?

[janecarole]

Good Moday morning!

I ran the debugging plugin and here is the result:

Thank you so much. I will do this as soon as I can and post the result.

One more thing I see–

When I am logged in as a normal user and I put my cursor in the “reply to a post” box, this is what appears in the browser:

“lemonstograpes.com/forums/topic/esthers-last-chapter-after-17-years-in-the-lc/?bbp_reply_to=8039&_wpnonce=60f250f83c#new-post”

When I am logged in as myself (admin) and do the same thing, this is what appears in the browser:

“lemonstograpes.com/forums/topic/esthers-last-chapter-after-17-years-in-the-lc/#post-8039”

Is there a reason for the difference in the two? Remember that the first one results in the error. The second (admin logged in) succeeds in posting a reply.

Sorry for all the posts … I see on my new topic post that I somehow managed to put all this under “Installation.” Sorry. That is not correct. My site has been up and running since 2017.

[janecarole]

One more piece of information:

This is what is on the browser line when I get the error message (a 404 page missing error):

Esther’s Last Chapter after 17 years in the LC

The post #8039 is the post to which the user is replying. The post is present so why would the user get a page missing error?

Also, deactivating all plugins will mess up my live site too much. I could deactivate/reactivate one at a time, I suppose. That will be a daunting task. Can you suggest what plugins I might start with ?? Is there an easy way to send you a list of all my plugins?

[janecarole]

A little more explanation: My site is active so I don’t want to switch to a default theme because it makes the site go nuts. (My site uses twenty-seventeen.) I tried switching to twenty-twenty on my staging site, but that didn’t help because I couldn’t test the problem as a user since I have to stay logged in as myself in order to use my staging site.

If I decide to test by changing themes on my live site and letting it go nuts, and if that were to solve the user posting problem, how would that help? I have to be able to use the twenty-seventeen theme. I have worked and worked with twenty-seventeen over a long time to get it exactly like I want it. Twenty-twenty or twenty-one will not work for me.

[janecarole]

Done and I’m back.

I put the results of the health check below. I have been waiting to upgrade to WP 5.9.3. (Problem avoidance syndrome). It doesn’t seem that the two deactivated plugins (that I plan to use in the future) should be causing my problem.

(Also, I noted that a user is able to post blog comment without a problem.)

Hoping you can help me.

You should remove inactive plugins Security
Plugins extend your site’s functionality with things like contact forms, ecommerce and much more. That means they have deep access to your site, so it’s vital to keep them up to date.

Your site has 2 inactive plugins. Inactive plugins are tempting targets for attackers. If you’re not going to use a plugin, we recommend you remove it.

[janecarole]

I am running bbPress 2.5.14

Is Twenty-Seventeen a default theme? That is what I am using.

I deactivated all the plugins associated with bbpress and still have the same problem:
Dactivated:
bbpress Private Groups
bbpress Stylepack
bbpress Moderation Tools
bbpress Advanced Statistics
bbpress Move Topics
bbpress WP Tweaks
GD bbPress Attachments
bbPress Messages
Image Upload for bbPress

Do I need to deactivate EVERY plugin ?? This makes this novice really nervous!!
