ok, thanks for sending that – I had something set that was not giving me that on my test site – now I can match your process, but i do not get the error.

what other bbpress related plugins are you running ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

Now you will see that the trash link has turned to the Delete Admin Link , and from there you can click Delete to delete the topic permanently.

when I trash a topic, then it disappears from the front end and it reverts to the forum list.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

sorry, step 1 & 2 fine, but where are you seeing step 3? – if I trash a topic it disappears from the front end.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

bbpress sends out emails as a single email, with the recipients BCC’d in.

Many sending email servers see this as spam, and block.
Intermediate mail servers can have the same attitude (eg gmail hotmail) so cut out those they see as spam
Client firewalls frequently have an email component that will also filter perceived spam.
Finally receiving email clients often see bcc as spam, so put them in the junk mail.

This could explain why some are receiving and others not – depends on their mail server and mail client !

Basically email is a fight between trying to get valid emails tjrough and stopping spam, and computer algorithms are frankly crap at this.

sending them asynchronously can help a lot in getting then through

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

I’ve taken a look, and yes lots of code changes to get replies in reverse order, and currently too much of a challenge to try and do !

Sorry !

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

do you mean after the main forum page, or each forum page, or each topic page ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

ok, I cannot say why it is not displaying.

so you just have bbpress, not any other bbpress related plugins ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

and read https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-remove-default-bbpress-login/

that should work, it might be that another plugin is overriding this.

what other bbpress related plugins do you have ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

@lruzza -great glad it works

Maintenance can be nothing or major – that’s the problem when one plugin is changing another – we are reliant on what – in this instance – bbpress does. If they don’t change the template that this hooks to or the function that is behind it – then nothing will be needed. I can’t see any WordPress updates affecting it as these are stable.

Anyway I’ll look to add to style pack as a big fix – that way if bbpress fixes it it is a tick box to remove

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

ok, so I’ve created a shortcode that should do this

I’ve added this to my bbp-style-pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes

and you’ll see how to add the shortcode there

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

@xprojectsx I meant to put a couple of smiley faces on the end of my last – it was said light heartedly !!

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

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

Code Snippets

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

so rainy afternoon, so I have wrapped wpup’s code into a plugin, and fixed a couple of things that were different.

This plugin technically works, but without creating multiple threads I can’t really test !

so if anyone fancies trying it out, feel free and let me know if it does what it is supposed to.

and sorry @xprojectsx – I am just putting it out there, I don’t promise to fix it if it doesn’t work, but am happy to take a look, and I don’t promise to maintain it – you download and use on this basis !

If it does work, I’ll add it to the trac ticket for this thread, and maybe add it to my style pack plugin bug fix page.

great -thanks for posting the solution 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

no problem 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets them.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

If you put something out there as free, you should still manage its viability otherwise the end result will be wasting people’s time.

agree – the issue is with time – ie for how long? No-one can do forever, and no-one can do everything for free. So do I never release code as I am not immortal? I have no-one to take over the code. I have limited time to offer to support. I reckon in 3-5 years time I’ll not want to do the stuff I do now. I s’pose my point is that the user community needs to judge ‘free’ as not meaning ‘free for life with a right to free support for every issue’ I suspect that a lot of this comes from FB, youtube, instagram being seen as ‘free’, and the ability to share files, songs, books, images without paying the source. But maybe that’s just because I’m a grumpy old man 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

hey thanks – really helps when we know that people appreciate our help:-)

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

@xprojectsx good contribution – and I don’t think there is a perfect solution. I am Never quite sure what people expect from ‘community’ software. As an author of 6 plugins, the thought that when releasing these as free code for others to use and adapt, I am expected to respond to every query on the code for evermore, would make me never do it. I enjoy the challenge of support, but there will come a time when I tire of doing this for no money, and expectation that I fix issues I had not considered and that I had never planned only strengthens this. Bbpress was written as lite forum software, allowing others to extend it. It started over 15 years ago as a geek who like writing code (as I do). Then is response to requests it was added as a plugin to WordPress. The authors have I suspect many other priorities now in their lives, they are 15 years older. Their choices are 1. To close the plugin, and make many forums redundant. 2. To devote vast chunks of their free time to continue supporting 3. To do key code as their time permits 4. Just to hope that other people do this for free.
Against this there are paid products, but yes they cost or are used (I think quite justifiably) as a sales tool to produce income to pay the developers. Someone has to pay the bills.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

just to try and help the codex seems to suggest a ? is needed

paginate_links()

and drop down to user contributed notes

'format' => '?paged=%#%',

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

see dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation

usually it is the number of links

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

ok, without site access all I can suggest is

.bbp-forum-freshness {
display : none !important ;
width : 0px !important;
}

li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-voice-count {
	width: 20% !important;
}

li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title {
	float: left;
	text-align: left;
	width: 55% !important;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

great -glad you are fixed
