So I can help others – what version of wordpress are you running?
would suggest you post a question on their support site
https://wordpress.org/support/theme/make
contact me via my website
http://www.rewweb.co.uk
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 !
ok, so you have the same loop-topics.pho loaded into both themes?
so where in your theme do you call bbp_has_topics?
ok, so
AS A TEST ONLY –
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
lots of things !
Start with
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/
Then come back
Pascal’s method is better as the ip address is never sent to a PC. With the css code, it is entirely possible for anyone to get hold of the ip address, as it is sent to the PC, and viewable using developer tools.

Ok I’ve done some testing.
bbpress uses the display_name as stored in wp_user table.
If you allow registration
ie – Dashboard>settings>membership – anyone can register
then yes, the user_nicename and the display_name in wp_user table are the same and the same as the username entered by the person registering.
If you don’t allow registration, and you add users manually
ie Dashboard>users>add new user
and you don’t enter the first and last name, then the user_nicename and display_name are the same
BUT if you enter the firstname and lastname, then the nice_name is the username, but the display_name is saved as firstname followed by lastname !
So a bit of inconsistency by WordPress.
Now display_name is all that we can play with in bbpress, and users can change their display_name under bbpress in the profile area.
So I plan to put a function in my style pack that will let the user choose what the default display_name is, and optionally disable users from creating a nickname and/or changing the default.
ok – not sure what to suggest next, it’s a page.php thing I’d expect, and dependant on your theme
I wasn’t worried about what was showing in the body, I was only interested in whether the widget in the footer disappeared.
Can you confirm that it does with both the codes you tried?
sorry but you’ll need to post existing and new again as we can’t see them
ok, I can now see the issue, and have looked at both a forum page and a non forum page.
From the web browser tools available to me, I can’t immediately see what the core issue is.
as an experiment can you try on of the other bbpress shortcodes eg `[bbp-topic-index]
`
to see if this is bbpress or just that shortcode
long time since I’ve done one, but here are my detailed notes from a custom. I haven’t re-read, but I do talk about this in part 3
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/documented-import-from-snitz-access-database/
Hopefully it will help
ok, I can see the footers and adverts and have a brittany ferries ad where yu say there is stuff missing, so I can’t see what you think is missing. Just giving me a blank space doesn’t help – I need a shot of how it should look
@netweb On my test site it does firstname/lastname. Am I going mad?
I’m about to add this feature to my style pack !
and have you logged a ticket with their suppprt?
