    I’ve just taken a look – the whole way subscriptions works was changed in 2.6

    this code works on my test site

    add_action('bbp_template_before_single_topic', 'show_bbp_sub');
    function show_bbp_sub() { 
    	$subscriptions = bbp_get_subscribers(bbp_get_topic_id()) ;
    	$count = count($subscriptions) ;
    	echo 'number of users subscribed: '.$count;
    }

    can you post the complete code

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I would suggest $output, but you may need to play with the variables to see what each does

    @robin-w

    just taken a quick look.

    yes it looks like it will show the sub forums of a forum ID you enter, but not the parent forums as well.

    I should say I’m not a bbpress author, and after a check of the code it is not an easy change to fix

    the code is valid – I suspect you have a copy/paste issue – sometimes a ‘ becomes corrupted,

    Can you post exactly what you have in your file

    @robin-w

    caused by a post that was password protected – fixed

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    great – glad you are fixed !!

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    hmm…

    that is coming as a result of a wordpress page protection issue, so something in either page or posts is overriding… are any of your pages password protected?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    so your site shows ‘This content is password protected. To view it please enter your password below’

    yes ?

    @techinbermudas
    it is set to false by default, so suspect that one may be a red herring 🙂

    great to have a first poster, and there aren’t any no-brainers – we all start with no knowledge 🙂 🙂

    It can take a few questions to get to a common understanding of what you are trying to do, so can I ask :

    can you define what you mean by ‘search page’ ?

    and can you give us links to the threads that gave you 1 & 2

    sorry, from your original post, I had presumed you were familiar with filters.

    so you would use an add_filter to change the output – do you need help with that?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    fixed with some site specific css 🙂

    it is probably easiest to hide using css, but I’d need a link to see what is being downloaded to your nrowser

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    apply_filters( 'bbp_get_the_content', $output, $args, $post_content );

    in

    bbpress 2.6.6\includes\common\template.php

    line 1940

    should do it

    is your forum public enough to be able to see this page ?

    ok, not a lot we can do about phones which insist on local caching of web pages 🙂

    This plugin might well work, I haven’t tried it with scheduled posts, but suspect it would work.

    You just need to be subscribed to the relevant forums

    topic subscribe

    you could give this a try

    Force Refresh

    and report back !!

    ok, so just properly read your first post – sorry lots to do in life, and don’t always get the issue first time 🙂

    So if browser refresh is fixing it, then I’d suggest it’s not a server caching issue.

    I’d suggest you try it from lots of devices, try a friends to see if it just your device or even just the browser you are using.

    I run several bbpress forums, and I don’t run caching on any of them.

    Caching only ever overcomes slow servers, so firstly I expect to pay to get a good server. For business sites, that means getting the website owner to understand that FB isn’t free, google isn’t free, tiktok isn’t free, instagram isn’t free, and neither is their site. The customer pays for all these services, whether through advertising (eg businesses paying FB to place ads, who then use part of this money to have fast servers) or paying the website owner who pays a service provider. so pay for a good server, and you shouldn’t need caching.

    On ‘club’ websites (and I am webmaster for several) then the club members need to understand that part of their membership fees pay for the website. If they perceive it as slow, then fine they need to pay more membership fees. However on 99% of these sites, my strategy has always been that good content is worth waiting for 🙂 If you are interested in the insect life of Guatemala, then you’ll quite happily wait a few seconds whilst a forum page renders to tell you about the Thoas Swallowtail butterfly.

    Finally if you are running a site where you are touting for business, then I would say that you should treat a fast server as an investment.

    WP total cache has had several good recommendations as one that works very well with bbpress.

    Some webmasters also do not understand that many browsers (particularly ones for cell/mobile phones) cache locally, so a lack of update isn’t necessarily caused by server side issues.

    Finally I would say that I am just a bbpress user here, not one of the bbpress authors, and my views are just mine 🙂

    yes it is, and it works with 5.8

    I’ve sent a message to the authors to ask them to update – as author of 6 plugins I know it is a pain to have to keep updating the info when WordPress keeps issuing new updates that don’t go anywhere near the plugins :

    Thanks for letting us know.
