    from memory I have not written that one with pagination as the bbpress one does that for pages where you want lots to show, but does just have 15 as the only option

    [bbp-topic-index]

    I have done some initial testing.

    On the test site that is running slow, it seems to be related to subscriptions and emailing.

    I’d like confirmation that this is indeed the issue for you both as well before I spend time investigating further.

    If you are able to help can you go to

    bbpress test

    and download a small testing plugin.

    Then in your site, go to dashboard>plugins>add new and upload the plugin you just downloaded.

    When activated, this plugin will stop emails on new topics, which is what I want to prove is the issue. So you’ll need to activate, do the test and then deactivate. During the period when it is activated subscribers will not get emails for new topics, so you may want to time your tests to a quiet time on your site.

    So when you are ready activate this plugin, then create a new topic and see if it runs back to the usual speed.

    Once you have tested, immediately deactivate this plugin, or your users will not get any new topic emails.

    At the moment this is only testing new topics not replies, so no point in testing replies yet !!

    some elements need your theme to not overwrite them. If they are causing particular issues, come back and I’ll take a look, but I will need to be able to see them on your site.

    @kemmieg – no offence from you. Has it previously been ok ? One of my test sites is looking slow on topics but not replies, but I’ll need to dig into what is happening and it may be a few days.

    if you could both let me know what version of WordPress you are on, and whether the speed is the same for posting both topics and replies that would be very useful 🙂

    I have ported the key bits from this plugin to my style pack plugin

    bbp style pack

    it could be a theme or plugin issue

    Themes

    As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, 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

    Then come back

    sorry bbpress just uses the wordpress user system.

    I’d suggest you use one of the many login plugins to enhance your users perception of your site eg

    Theme My Login

    @robin-w

    ok start with

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/ and set up logging

    this will tell you if the site is trying to send emails, and you can see what address it is trying to send from, which I suspect is what your email system does not like.

    if it is the sending email address, you can change this using

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

    so what do you mean by ‘activation’ ?

    bbpress just uses wordpress ‘registration’
    bbpress has ‘subscriptions’

    so not sure what ‘activation’ you are meaning?

    You’d do better asking this on the buddypress support site

    https://buddypress.org/support/

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Can I suggest you start by going to :

    dashboard>settings>permalinks and click save, this resets the permalinks

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok those both just go to the site when I click them, so not sure what you are trying to say.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    that’s good news 🙂

    @robin-w

    It may well be the address that bbpress is sending from.

    this is typically noreply@ and if this email address does not exist then many email hosts will not permit its transit through the system.

    either

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

    where you can amend the address and change the wording as well

    or

    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

    add_filter('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address','my_bbp_no_reply_email');
    function no_reply_email(){
        $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com'; // any email you want
        return $email;
    }

    and change the address
