sorry – I have studiously avoided learning anything about buddypress 🙂
buddyboss is a paid product – I suggest you ask them
let me take a look at a method that might let you add their ID’s
I would add that having email addresses as user nice names is highly unusual given that it publicly gives everyone’s email addresses out, so suspect was not considered by the plugin authors
so how many users do you want as moderators in how many forums?
rough idea of numbers 🙂
I am not certain, but on save a function is run that includes the wordpress function ‘sanitize_text_field’ which may well be stripping the @
what the code does is to try and find out the user_id of the name entered, and then passes this to
bbp_add_moderator( $forum_id, $user_id );
If I am guessing that this is not something you need to do too often, you could do it programatically if you know how?
in essence there are 2 functions
bbp_add_moderator( $forum_id, $user_id );
bbp_remove_moderator( $forum_id, $user_id );
Is there any known conflict with those plugins ?
I’d suspect it is more likely that as the super sticky topic has no associated forum, then the plugins may be granting permission to see using a forum ID as an identifier and as it has none, then hiding it, but I am just guessing 🙂
Just tested ‘all topics’ and that is also fine, so yes I would suspect another plugin is adding a permission issue
ok, thanks – that is a paid theme, and I suspect that whilst my usual statement would be ‘ask the theme authors’ it is highly unlikely that you will get any helpful response from them.
My next port of call would be to look at the theme’s functions file and any templates it is amending to see if the issue is there, but that requires you to have some technical knowledge
ok, I’d suggest you next test with those deactivated and see if it an issue with one of them, and if not test with a default theme.
ok, from a quick test, I could edit a topic with no parent forum in both the backend, and in any forum that it appears.
I have not tested ‘all topics’ – but given the above, if this is a serious issue for you, then simply allocate it against the most appropriate forum – it will still appear against all forums.
what other bbpress related plugins are you running?
‘Create a new topic without assigning to a forum’ – where and how are you doing this ?
ok, I am seeing this when logged in or logged out with style pack active
<span class="topic-author">
<a href="/forums/user/testuser1/" title="View testuser1's profile" class="bbp-author-link">
<span class="bbp-author-avatar">
<img alt="" src="..." srcset="..." class="avatar avatar-14 photo" loading="lazy" width="14" height="14">
</span>
<span class="bbp-author-name">testuser1
</span>
</a>
</span>
not sure which you are saying is different as your original post says ‘when user logged in’ in both cases??
just putting this here so others accessing this can see the solution

I don’t know how well it might work with your buddypress set up, but try
Private groups
@aprilschmitt27 – thanks for the info – can you just confirm that you are fixed ?
not a problem – we’ve all been there 🙂 🙂
I presume you’ve ticked item 3 on the subscription emails tab ? 🙂
ok, thanks – I’ve just retested on my test site, and can see no issue.
I’ll have a think
ok, so I am wondering if something else is interfering.
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
great – thanks, just checking what was happening.
hmmm….. so presumably if you press the ‘send test message’ on the ‘subscription emails’ tab, this come through correctly -ie with your changes?
