    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.

    so have you tried style pack ?

    add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'rew_add_html' ) ;
    
    function rew_add_html () {
    	echo '<b>hello</b>';
    }

    and amend echo '<b>hello</b>'; to what you want

    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

    then work though the plugins and themes to identify the issue

    Whilst never say never, I would be extremely surprised if it stopped working.

    Think of it more like a light switch than a light bulb 🙂

    no neither of those should cause issues, but not sure I can help further without webmasters help

    At a guess – as most of your links don’t work without being logged in and the search one produces lots of posts, but you don’t state which one it is – I’d suggest that your post is pending moderation.

    That would make it visible to the keymaster, but not to you.

    suggest he looks in

    dashboard>topics or replies – and sees what the status of you post is.

    not that I know –
    you can trash it,
    or if it has answers, then reply with a link to the other thread and close the topic

    hmm.. that’s a choice you make.

    this plugin hooks to parts of bbpress that are very stable.

    your choices are

    1. try and find another bbpress moderation plugin – none I know of

    2. Pay someone to write a plugin, and them pay annual maintenance to ensure it keeps up to date, and that will need to be a company as if you pay a person they might die/retire. And of course a company that will not go bankrupt.

    3. use this plugin, accepting that at some stage in the future it may stop working, in which case you are where you are now

    4. do nothing.

    as far as I can see that is the choice.

    sorry, I would love to say that all plugins will work forever, but that is not the way that free software works.

    this plugin still works fine

    bbPress – Moderation Tools

    ok, yes bbpress just uses wordpress registration

    it could be an email issue – email is notoriously difficult to get consistent – many email companies see wordpress emails as spam.

    so I’d try the following which is my standard email advice:

    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/

    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

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

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

    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 !

    looks like a css issue.

    if this is a new installation (that is submit has never shown) then it could be a theme or plugin issue

    hmm.. not really a bbpress issue, and nothing has changed in bbpress recently.

    it could be a theme or plugin issue
