    it’s a widget

    dashboard>appearance>widgets> (bbpress) Recent Topics

    If I understand

    add_action ('bbp_theme_after_topic_form_tags' , 'rew_tag_desc' ) ;
    add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_form_tags' , 'rew_tag_desc' ) ;
    
    function rew_tag_desc () {
    	echo '<p>words here</p>' ;
    }

    Put this in your child theme’s function file –

    ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

    where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

    or use

    I don’t doubt you have an issue, but there are 300,000 users of bbpress and if they all had this issue it would be well known.

    the problem is working out why you have this issue

    hmmm…. not how it works in my test site.

    The bit about some wp login plugin that you have deacivated?? can you explain more about that?

    @robin-w

    great – glad you are fixed

    you’d need to define down when it happens, always a problem when things just seem to happen – good luck πŸ™‚

    it could be a theme or plugin issue

    Themes

    As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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

    just tried it on my website, and that code works fine.

    3 possibilities

    1. the 90 is wrong
    2. the 90 forum does not have sub forums
    3. some other code is filtering the bbp_forum_get_subforums function

    If you are happy it is not 1 or 2, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

    try

    var_dump($sub_forums);

    can you define ‘it’ please – what is sending you where?

    you are correctly editing the template, but it needs to be placed in your child-theme

    so

    find
    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

    transfer this to your pc and edit

    and save

    create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
    ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

    where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

    Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
    wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/user-profile.php

    bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

    I have just tried it on my test site with WordPress 5.5.3 with bbPress 2.6.6, and it changed fine with no issues.

    so you go into the edit, and click ‘generate password’ and then type in a paswword and click update Profile and that works.

    Is this what you are trying?

    I’m just a user of bbpress and author of bbp style pack.

    I can’t say why bbpress authors chose what they did

    1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address
    in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit.
    You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
    2. Just bbpress?
    Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
    Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

    Next try switching to smtp email – this page from the host Siteground explains it

    https://www.siteground.co.uk/tutorials/wordpress/use-smtp/

    If you choose other SMTP servers as a mailer, then you email/website hoster shoud be able to give you details of what to enter

    and of course

    By default, you do NOT receive emails for your own topics/replies, only if somebody else replies on your subscribed topics

    so testing would need two email accounts to prove !

    style pack should let you change them all – you just have to work through the options on each tab.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    start with the forums styling – that sets much of the site

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    If you don’t want to learn child themes and css (and I can’t blame you !!) I can only suggest that you get adventurous and try changing settings in the style pack plugin. No changes made in the style pack plugin are permanent – worst case you can simply deactivate the plugin and it will stop having any impact, or you can reset individual tabs in the ‘reset settings’ tab.

    @robin-w

    so have you tried style pack ?
