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?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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

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

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

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 !

close – means the post still shows, but no-one can add to it
Trash – means put in trash, so the post is no longer shown
Unapprove – makes the topic pending – it is not seen in by users, only moderators and keymasters
sticky – puts the post above ordinary posts in the list – typically to have a topic always at the top

Keymaster – Can create, edit and delete other users’ forums, topics and replies. Can manage Tags, and moderate a forum with the moderation tools. Has access to global forum settings, tools, and importer.
Moderator – Can create and edit forums. Can create, edit and delete other users’ topics and replies. Can manage Tags, and moderate a forum with the moderation tools.

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

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

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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 Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

so have you tried style pack ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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

great – thanks for posting the solution – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

dashboard>settings>bbp stylepack> forums index styling and just change all tne font sizes to what you want

or

then work though the plugins and themes to identify the issue

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

might be this

Missing Submit Button for Reply to Topic

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

great – thanks for posting back

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

this plugin still works fine

bbPress – Moderation Tools

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

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

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

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.

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
