Not that I know of, sorry.
ok, 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

Then come back
did they used to and have stopped or has this never worked?
ok these are instructions from 12 years ago, and are not applicable for the current version of bbpress.
If you just enable the ‘anyone can register’, then users can register from either the topic/reply forms, or you can use a register page – ie create a page – call it whatever you want and put the shortcode [bbp-register] in it. Then add this page to your menu.
I am not sure where you are seeing
“Before adding the page, it is important to select the bbPress template page for User Register. This can be done by clicking on the drop-down Template menu on the right hand section of the screen and selecting bbPress – User Register.”
Can you say when/wher this appears eg
dashboard>settings>xx>yy
I suspect your issue is related to whatever membership plugin you are using.
In any case legislation in many countries requires you to allow users to ‘unsubscribe’ so they do not receive emails, so a subscription system needs to exist to allow for this.
Not sure I can help further.
bbpress just uses the WordPress (or whatever custom plugin you are using) registration/login, and your problem is almost certainly site specific, so beyond generic help from here.
link to a live example on your site
great – glad you are fixed
dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation and amend the number of links
if you have bbpress subscriptions turned in, then users have the option to subscribe to any topic and receive replies.
This may be what you want
Private groups
Heyb thanks for reporting back on that – good news !!
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 !!
thanks – as I say I’ll tye and look through in then next few days, but I am away at the weekend
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

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
