    Okay for some reason I am having trouble getting Forum notifications on my test site to any user except the blog owner like you said, I may have to report a bug or do more testing/discuss with the devs. And I might have also found another bug messing with this too.

    The topic subscriptions work well though when I tested them.

    Did you try some troubleshooting already to see if there could be another thing causing the issue?? I want to make sure before I report any kind of bug.

    Troubleshooting

    Just to make sure you are using the latest WordPress and bbPress?
    Did you use the plugin mentioned above, Asychronous subscriptions, abd see if it fixed it?
    Do other emails work on your site like new user registration, new comment, etc. ?

    I have an email address for the website via a Bluehost mailbox and I have one email forwarder from that box to my home email client.

    Is this something you did recently, or was it always set up like this for 2 years.

    I want double notification for the moderators and I don’t mind getting triple notification.

    This might be custom development.

    Sorry for the late reply, but while I was testing the notification emails today I didn’t seem to see any issues with the line breaks, they are all still there.

    Maybe you have a plugin that can customize the notification messages in bbPress and the messages are bunched together because of that??

    Merging topics still works for me when I tested it with the latest version of bbPress and WordPress.

    If merging topics doesn’t work for a specific forum, you may need to repair your forums possibly??

    Troubleshooting

    You may also need to find and see if there is a plugin or theme issue too.

    If merging forums does not work at all on your site try this with some troubleshooting also.

    Create a hidden forum so it would only be visible to Keymasters and MOderators, then create a few topics and try merging them together.

    This is because your font color of your site is white for the content, and bbPress forums are white and gray by default making your font invisible.

    You can copy the bbpress.css from the bbPress plugin into your child theme into a folder called bbpress and customize the styles of your site.

    Or you can install a plugin like this, and put transparent for any background colors.

    did you customize the bbPress templates by copying them into your theme??

    Try switching to a default theme to see if the issue persists.

    Why don’t you update to the latest version of both plugins?? You can mirror your current site and test it on a local development area to see what happens if you update.

    It is always best to upgrade to the current versions too, so that many possible bug fixes and security issues won’t break your site.

    I’m just not entirely sure if it’s more time and effort to write the above than it is to manually delete spam messages

    I was basically saying you do not need to manually delete every spam post, but you can bulk delete and auto delete spam posts. With Akismet installed it marks registered users posts that may be from spammers as spam, using the comment blacklist (bbPress uses this too) will put posts as pending as review. So that may help keep spam to a minimum.

    I tested bbPress moderation, and it seems to work fine when I tested it.

    I tried guest posting, registred member posting, and it seems to put the posts into moderation as pending.

    You set up bbPress moderation in settings > bbPress moderation in the WordPress backend. I had everything enabled just so I can test anonymous posting too.

    I received emails immediately for any posts pending moderation. I had checked that the respective posts were shown in the WordPress backend in the posts section (Either Topics or Replies in All Topics or All Replies), and when you see the pending action link all the posts in moderation should be there. To approve a reply the plugin author lists it here https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/faq/.

    If you are 100% percent sure that it does not work, try some troubleshooting to find any possible plugin conflicts. I had a simple test site with bbPress and bbPress moderation only, and it worked fine.

    Troubleshooting

    Also know that some of the bbPress moderation functionality is set for core, and might be in the plugin next big release, but like I said before the plugin works fine for now, but there could be a possible plugin conflict with another plugin.

    It is part of your set of editable templates from bbPress. Like I said copy the file into a child theme in a folder called bbpress.

    The directory “wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/” contains the directories “bbpress”, “css”, “extras”, and “js”, and the file “bbpress-functions.php”.

    The “bbpress” directory contains template parts. Copy any of them into a directory named “bbpress” in your themes root, so it looks like: /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/bbpress/

    If you still have double notifications still, try some troubleshooting first. I think it could be a possible plugin issue, maybe plugins that might do the same thing like maybe BuddyPress Group Email Subscription. I also saw possible issues with wp-cron and duplicate emails, but try the troubleshooting first.

    This is the plugin I meant before. In the other topic I didn’t make it work for Forums, but it seems to work fine when I edit the plugin myself and allow it to show forums instead.

    here is a plugin I tested and works for displaying users subscribed to topics in a widget. I just changed anything saying topic to forum and it shows a list of subscribers of a forum. Hopefully that would help you for what you want.

    If you are working on something, I would like to see the end result. Users have been asking for something to better manage user subscriptions, the best I could find is that widget. I would like to see what you can create.

    It may not work for BuddyPress group forums though.

    How to unsubscribe banned users to forums and new topics

    Well I am not sure how to in this situation??

    How axactly do you want them to stay on the same page? Topic form/topics slide out by clicking the topic title in the single forum page, or something different??

    I am still leaning on this being custom development.

    Yeah I think this is the filter.

    apply_filters( 'bbp_get_teeny_mce_buttons', $buttons );

    bbp_get_teeny_mce_buttons

    Any javascript you would need for the buttons you may need to copy editor.js in your child theme in a folder called js so that your code is enqueued.

    How to unsubscribe banned users to forums and new topics

    How, as a wordpress admin, can I find a list of all the users that subscribed to new topics in a forum ? Any specific page ? Or even a SQL statement to the DB ?

    Every user has a list of their subscriptions in their profile. You can show the user that if they want to unsubscribe, or you can switch to them and do it yourself.

    I had thoughts that listing users subscribed to a forum in a widget or an alternative, may be resource intensive.

    In phpMyAdmin, in the usermeta table normally called wp_usermeta with the meta-key wp__bbp_subscriptions.

    if a user has an ID of 3, and was subscribed to topics 10, 12 and 15, and forums 1, 3 and 6, you would see

    user_id 3
    meta_key wp__bbp_subscriptions
    meta_value 1,3,6,10,12,15

    I’m increasingly thinking about writing a custom plugin. I suppose one basic idea would be to create a new user role like “Untrusted Subscriber”, make it the default role for new subscriptions and mark all comments, topics and replies by such users as “pending” until the user is updated to regular “Subscriber” status. The system should also serve a page explaining this when these users post. Something like that.

    If you make a plugin like that create a topic in the plugins forum on this site. This could also be useful in the core of bbPress too.

    As much as I tried earlier, I couldn’t really get bbPress Moderation to work. It may have something to do with my theme, but I also see that I’m not the only one with problems.

    If you are a plugin dev, you can always fork this plugin to make it work. If you want to share your forked version with other users for bbPress then you put your fork on the WordPress plugin repository.

    I’m just not entirely sure if it’s more time and effort to write the above than it is to manually delete spam messages and users. So, I was wondering if someone else may already have found a solution.

    You can bulk delete spam posts in the WordPress backend to make things go faster. There is also a plugin to autodelete spam replies on wordpress.org.

    I cannot think of anything right now so this might be custom development for now. You may need to hire a developer to do this for you.

    Idk why that would cause an issue in your theme. Try out just “s” and see if that causes an issue still.

    You can also try some troubleshooting to see if it just your theme causing the issue.

    extra points if you make a quicktag button for bbPress that is similar to how the bbPress post toolbar plugin has their emoticons button.

    I checked the photos you sent me, and all I could say is that I do not know Spanish fluently (If it is in another language, I am sorry but I still cannot read it). I tried google translate to translate the images, but the translation didn’t come out clearly.If you want make an english version of all the images you sent me.

    I think you had some CSS issues on your site, if you want link to your site and I could help you on that.

    You may need to hire a developer to do some of the other tasks you listed.

    Make sure to disable the automatic delete option in S2member so that you won’t come across this problem again.

    There would be an option to delete a user and attribute their content to another user if you ever decide to delete a user in the future. So keep the old account and it’s data before transferring.

    Only thing I can think of is possibly changing the new users account ID to the old one in phpMyAdmin, this would work if the bbPress posts have the original users account ID still in the post meta. You may need to still change the new users account posts though. But maybe not with this SQL command.
