can you define ‘cannot create a new forum’
what precise steps do you take, and what exactly happens
registration is a wordpress thing, rather than bbpress.
what is set is
dashboard>settings>general>email address
and does it match your email server?
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.comthen 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/
untested but try
<?php add_filter ('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args' , 'rew_filter_for_user' ) ; ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
and in your functions file put
function rew_filter_for_user ($args) {
//not sure if the next two lines are needed, so have commented out
//global $current_user;
//get_currentuserinfo();
$uid = bbp_get_current_user_id();
$args[‘author’] => $uid ;
return $args
}
loop-replies from memory has the ‘no relies’ part in it, so you shouldn’t need the ‘if’ statement
I’m really pushed at the moment hence no time to test, but if it doesn’t work come back, and if I get time I’ll load it to my test site and debug
I’ve never had an issue with automatic spam, so I would not bother – you can always implement it later if needed.
disallowing comments does not affect topics and replies – it is how I set my websites
now available in my style pack plugin
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display and set in item 11
add this to your functions file
add_filter ('bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'rew_number_of_forums') ;
function rew_number_of_forums ($args) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 50 ;
return $args ;
}
I’ll add it to my style pack plugin shortly if you don’t know how to do that
that is a buddypress error, report it to their support site
https://buddypress.org/support/
great – glad you are fixed
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
contact me via my website

I tried enabling the “Alternate Forum template 1” in bbp style plugin.. but didn’t work.
That is possibly because your theme is overriding my templates.
Have you been to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Not Working?
I’ve just added that capability to my style pack
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Rely Styling
and check item 16
should be there

this will depend on what code the ‘paid forum’ platform has written.
Most forum platforms have importers, so check what is possible.
By the way this question is a bit like asking a Ford garage how to buy a Chrysler 🙂
easiest solution is this plugin, which lets you set all that
bbp style pack
or
bbPress Styling Crib
great – glad you are fixed
Shortcodes
and to customise and style bbpress try
bbp style pack
so what does it do?
display nothing
display You are not currently subscribed to any forums
or what?
ok, to remove all the data, you’ll need to use the tool in bbpress.
so re-install bbpress, activate and go to
dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums
This will delete the roles (and everything else)
great – glad you are fixed
hmmm…
wp_bp_xprofile_data is a buddypress table, bbpress only uses wp_users and meta.
Might be worth logging in the buddypress support forum to see if they can help
https://buddypress.org/support/
bbpress is a free plugin and this forum is a community forum – there are no paid staff, so questions are answered by volunteers.
bbpress uses wordpress registration, so the issue is a wordpress one, and as suggested by the password reset, you should contact you host provider.
also try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/
where are you seeing the roles ?
