    or that could be total rubbish if gravity forms aren’t using bbpress to create, which they probably aren’t – let me think further !!

    Forums and Topics are totally separate custom post types, correct?

    Yes.

    I am reticent to start delving into this plugin – there are hundreds of thousand of plugins in wordpress and I only go into those that are specifically bbpress and then only a few of those – it can take a day easily to look at and understand a plugins code 🙂

    There is a hook in topic creation that you could use

    The following code is untested, but you could put this in your functions file. You must be able to edit that file outside of wordpress (ie NOT using dashboard>appearance>editor) in case it errors so you can amend it.

    add_action( 'bbp_new_topic_pre_extras', 'new_topic_id', 10, 1 );
    
    function new_topic_id ($forum_id=0) {
    	if (empty ($forum_id)) $forum_id  = 31086 ;
    	return $forum_id ;
    }
    

    This will put any topic that doesn’t have a forum into that forum.

    the plugin says that you can

    â—ľAssign parent post for generated post (Drop Down field only)

    I haven’t used this plugin, so can’t comment further !!

    see this link

    http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/

    The issue is with this plugin

    bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages

    which was updated a day ago.

    so don’t re-enable that one

    if you go to that plugins support page, you’ll find someone has already logged that error.

    You should revert to the earlier version until it is fixed

    a topic’s forum is simply its post_parent

    so your topic has a post_id and your forum has a post_id

    so

    // Update topic (post) 1234  forum (post) 321
      $my_post = array(
          'ID'           => 1234,
          'post_parent'   => 321,
           );
    
    // Update the post into the database
      wp_update_post( $my_post );

    That’s shows determination !!

    Do you have phpmyadmin access ?

    and the one that doesn’t will have something different about it.

    either delete the identical site and start again with it, or carry out the tests above, which will help narrow where the error could lie.

    sorry but this is getting beyond free help. bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so this is not really a bbpress issue, rather a wordpress one.

    I’m afraid I can’t help further

    bbpress and twenty twelve work fine.

    bbpress is not resource heavy.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    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

    @robin-w

    not without extensive coding

    Out of interest does the plugin not do what you want, or do you have a thing against plugins 🙂

    never seen that before, and like you all I can find on a google is reference to Mojo Marketplace

    ok try

    dashboard>permalinks>and just click save

    This sometimes frees them up

    if not come back

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    then you’ll need to contact the theme authors to fix – it is something they are doing

    your smtp service will be expecting the correct email address

    what is set is

    dashboard>settings>general>email address

    and does it match your smtp?

    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/

    I’ve had a quick look at the plugin, and can see no reason why it shouldn’t work.

    what plugin/app is doing the search function?

    @robin-w

    Can you clarify

    Did these show and have stopped?
    Have you just imported these?

    It wasn’t until I started googling this that I notice it is a recurring issue with bbpress sites using smtp, and hasn’t got a definitive answer.

    As far as I can see two things seem to help.

    1. amending the from address
    2. not sending bulk emails

    this plugin seems to address these two issues

    Can you try it and report back

    AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

    also there is a code snippet that lets you change the from address that smtp may well need -I don’t think it is needed as the plugin does this I hope (I haven’t tested the plugin), but quoted just in case 🙂

    However, something causes that in the forum post notifications the “From” is set back to the default <noreply@domain.com>, although it is set to different/custom address by the WP Mail SMTP plugin. My web hosting service blocks the PHP mails sent from unknown addresses, so that’s the reason why the e-mails are not delivered.

    /*BBPress email fix*/
    add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'email_sent_from_name' );
    function email_sent_from_name( $name )
    {
        return 'SITE NAME';
    }
    add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'email_sent_from' );
    function email_sent_from( $email )
    {
        return 'email@example.com';
    }

    Not sure what to advise for best.

    I’m not a bbpress author, so have no direct influence on code.

    However I have 6 plugins that are sub-plugins to bbpress most of which have shortcodes that won’t display correctly under 2.6rc5.

    I have asked the authors to reconsider restricting bbpress – the min file is only 32kb, so won’t affect load times to go on all pages – it is just downloaded once when the site is accessed.

    If they decide to go as is, I will need to duplicate part or all of the bbpress.css file in my plugins, which means that someone using 3 of my plugins will get the same css downloaded 4 times – 3 by me and one by bbpress which is not good 🙂

    So watch this space.

    if you are deep into coding, you could just enqueue a copy of bbpress.css in your theme, or probably much easier just dump the contents of bbpress.css into your theme’s css – that will fix it.
