by default bbpress auto approves topics unless they fall foul of the rules in
dashboard>settings>discussion, so check the settings there
Sorry, all of bbpress works on topics belonging to forums.
you can have just one forum, and then have your ‘forum’ page with a shortcode of topics using
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]
link to a live example on your site please
the user needs the bbpress ‘keymaster’role to do this.
only a keymaster can set up another keymaster, you do this in the users profile
bbpress uses wordpress moderation settings in
dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation
Set keywords up in there, and bbpress will moderate using them
by default you do not have to approve
bbpress will hold for moderation items that Akismet deems to be spam, that wordpress has for moderation in dashboard>settings>discussion>before a comment appears and comment moderation
You might also have additional plugins that are causing moderation
like all free software it takes time and energy to maintain them. Many get abandoned because the authors no longer use them themselves, so have no impetus to keep them updated. I have written several plugins that I no longer use, and it is a great effort to keep them live.
toolkit still works as far as I know, but if you’re worried, you can always activate to change subscriptions and then deactivate, the actual subscription settings changed are in bbpress
probably it is various email filters stopping – email providers constantly fight spam emails, and if yours are seeming to not come from authorised smtp address, then some will stop. that might explain why recipients get and some don’t.
so 1st – I’d make sure that the sending email address is a real one from your site. by default bbpress sends from noreply@yoursite you could use
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails to change
next I’d set up smtp.
get the smtp settings from your hoster, you’ll need
SMTP Host eg smtp.myco.com
Encryption none/tls/ssl
SMTP Port eg 587
Authentication on/off ?
and the email and pw for whatever you are sending from
the use
WP Mail SMTP by WPForms – The Most Popular SMTP and Email Log Plugin
to set up smtp – the free version is fine
finally I’d add the ‘check and log email’ plugin to see what is happening
Check & Log Email
sorry it is free software designed to work under wordporess, so little chance of anyone writing an app let alone for free
bbpress display well under many many themes on a mobile, the problem is knowing what you think it should look like.
You could try
bbp style pack
which would let you set most of the aspects.
For some reason my team is no longer getting the auto generated emails when someone has posted in the forum.
so how were they getting this? through subscriptions or another plugin?
this would be theme rather than bbpress related, but even then, I do not know any theme that lets you do this
This plugin lets you notify roles such as admin on new posts
bbPress Notify (No-Spam)
@milfuegos – this is free software and the forums rely on volunteers such as myself, who get no payment.
Responses to questions may or may not happen.
I cannot say why offhand you youtube does not embed for users – it might be a wordpress admin or bbpress keymaster that allows this, I’d suggest you try combinations of permissions to see if you can work out which permission is preventing.
you previous questions relate to you wishing features that are not native to bbpress, I might look at these when I get time, but I am away on holiday this week.
debug is showing buddypress not bbpress – report the problem here
https://buddypress.org/support/
I think you are using the new 2022 theme, which is a block theme
Install
bbp style pack
once activated, navigate to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if yoi don’t see this, come back.
In that tab, select
Enable Theme Support
and save
The forums should then display
this error is in the gd-bbpress-tools plugin
you need to report it here
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-tools/
most people put the login widget in the sidebar, which then shows the profile.
alternately you can use this plugin to add it to the menu
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login
ok, can’t say why it was different before, but that is what I would expect to see in those boxes
ok, not sure I can suggest anything useful as obviously I cannot see your site
I used to login to the forum and the login box would be replaced by my profile.
ok, so when did this change, and what have you updated/changed?
I cannot replicate this on my test site – I presume you have this as the statistics widget?
if so 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
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form
and look at item 18
