you do not have to be subscribed to the topic for it to be unread and show if i remember correctly, and its just the area the plugin developer put it.

that plugin should display a list of topics that are unread in the subscriptions area.

it should kind of similar to these screenshots here, it looks really different because the developer was using a custom theme.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-mark-as-read/screenshots/

if there is a way to use custom user meta in wp-query then i could just give you a snippet to add a custom view for bbPress that would list all the unread topics in one place , and you just place a shortcode in a page and all.

viewing unead forums is not part of both of these two plugins i think but you could mark a forum read in both to clear any unread topics in it.

unread replies go to first unread post shows which topics that are unread replies using that little [>] icon.

bbPress is inheriting .hentry and .reply styles from your theme.

you can add this custom css to fix it.

#bbpress-forums .reply {
  margin-left: 0;
  text-align: inherit;
}

#bbpress-forums .hentry {
  margin: 0;
}

[Robkk]

you can use something like this.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .topic-author {
  background: #f5f5f5;
}

[Robkk]

Probably but that would be custom development.

[Robkk]

this has something to search by user.

its not a plugin more of a file to put in a folder called bbpress in your child theme and some PHP code snippets but i will test it out to see if it works.

I’m not even sure how I would go about setting up another email service. Hmmm…

i mean like does the issue show up in gmail?? why not try in ymail or outlook to see if the emails are just buggy in one place.

thats probably not it but you can try…

if you havent already you might need to deactivate all plugins but bbPress in your test site.

and hopefully see if that fixes anything.

Before Posting

other than that contact siteground support if you didnt already and see if they know anything.

you can lead them to the topic you posted in this topic and also the links @jjj posted in his reply to that topic and maybe they can find something in your host setup.

[Robkk]

or you can hand this off to Robin, since he is a Mod here.

@tarnvogl

oh yeah forgot about that.

I understand at that point on your end though.

I am trustworthy though 🙂

if you want you can hire a developer to try to find the issue and fix this for you.

and sorry i do not really like using stuff like teamviewer

[Robkk]

you probably can put the search widget in a sidebar that only shows in bbPress.

other than that maybe the plugin doesnt support just displaying in bbpress search results pages.

[Robkk]

the recent comments widget is just displaying any comment from your facebook page most likey,
not that is has any comments on a particular topic from bbPress, but that you just shared a topic as a “status update” and people are commenting on that “status update”.

@herculaas if you want this kind of functionality , which would be pretty difficult to create you should hire a developer and post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

yeah go ahead

and no problem

@entrapped

edit the custom post type/post type archive titles for bbPress which should be these below in your All in one Seo plugin settings.

forum archive
topic archive
forum
topic
reply

by default without an seo plugin the titles should display like this

topic: your topic title | yoursite

[Robkk]

where did the get the file from?? was it from my github link??

are you heavily editing your files or is your forums having more issues??

because i can see there is no topics but it displays the number in the topic description.

you can try these two plugins if you are not heavy editing and it is just a weird issue.

bbpress wp4 fix

bbpress wp4 fix2

[Robkk]

hmmm that is odd. i did not find a css issue, so it must be something else.

as a test try this to see if the avatars render correctly in the area if there is correct code.

function rkk_topic_av() {
	    	echo bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '48' , 'type' => 'avatar'));
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_topic_title','rkk_topic_av');

then give me the results then we will look over it more.

[Robkk]

well when im thinking about it this site is multisite and it doesnt show the issue you are having.

if you want you can create me an admin account and send the login details to my email.

I will tell you when i enter into your site

im just going to look over not mess with anything

look over your plugins and settings and maybe theme files and see if i can find something that might be causing an issue.

i will then tell you when i think i found an issue though email , let you or ask to give me permission to do something.

if it doesnt try again , if it does then you can delete the admin account for me and this topic is resolved.

Contact

this is not really a problem , and its not bbPress

WordPress handles the registration and in a default installation of WordPress your login page is yoursite.com/wp-login.php

bbPress just has a custom registration form.

You can use this plugin for a custom new registration email.

@ricsca2

this should do it.

function rk_show_advstats() {
  echo do_shortcode( '[bbpas-activity]' );  
}  

add_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index', 'rk_show_advstats' );
add_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_index', 'rk_show_advstats' );
add_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_topic', 'rk_show_advstats' );
add_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum', 'rk_show_advstats' );

@geekserve

add this to your plugin description or installation.section on your plugins page.

it seems it would be the most useful function for your plugin.

[Robkk]

you do not have to use the bbPress lost password form if want to.

All of your users will just log in to your site like normal with either one and it should work fine.

But as for the legend being hidden that is normal the label being hidden is probably your theme causing an issue.

if you still want to use bbPress’ login form i will need a link to the lost password page so i can see if its a css issue.

[Robkk]

well that plugin should send them without bcc and send it more efficiently through the wp-cron.

what is your whole setup like

what is your host?
mysql version ?
php version
wp version ?
do you use an exteranl service to handle email?
any plugins that affect the email process?
what email service are you using> maybe see if the issue persists in another email service.

[Robkk]

ok thanks for reminding me …again.

i have been losing track on these topics lately.

What i found is that this bug is because of your theme and not really bbPress. So i recommend contacting your theme developers about this especially since they want to support bbPress.

in the bfa_post_parts.php file in your functions folder, under the bfa_post_bodycopy function you will see

OR function_exists('is_bbpress')

This is what is causing your issue.

the way i figured out to fix it is to remove this and create my own bbpress.php off of the index.php file from your theme.

this is all the code i used to create the file. So you can copy and paste this into your theme into a bbpress.php file and all should work …hopefully.

I also left the widget areas there if you want them still there user theme/replace them or just remove them.

<?php 
list($bfa_ata, $cols, $left_col, $left_col2, $right_col, $right_col2, $bfa_ata['h_blogtitle'], $bfa_ata['h_posttitle']) = bfa_get_options();
get_header(); 
extract($bfa_ata); 
global $bfa_ata_postcount;
?>

<?php /* If there are any posts: */
if (have_posts()) : /* Postcount needed for option "XX first posts full posts, rest excerpts" */ ?>

    <?php  if ($bfa_ata['widget_center_top'] <> '') { 
          echo bfa_parse_widget_areas($bfa_ata['widget_center_top']); 
	} ?>

	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
	
		<?php /* Post Container starts here */
		if ( function_exists('post_class') ) { ?>
		<div <?php if ( is_page() ) { post_class('post'); } else { post_class(); } ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		<?php } else { ?>
		<div class="<?php echo ( is_page() ? 'page ' : '' ) . 'post" id="post-'; the_ID(); ?>">
		<?php } ?>
		<?php bfa_post_headline('<div class="post-headline">','</div>'); ?>
		<div class="post-bodycopy clearfix"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
		</div><!-- / Post -->	
						
	<?php endwhile; ?>

    <?php if ($bfa_ata['widget_center_bottom'] <> '') { 
          echo bfa_parse_widget_areas($bfa_ata['widget_center_bottom']); 
    } ?>

<?php endif; /* END of: If there are no posts */ ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

i think anonymous posting is what you are looking for.

go to settings > forums > and check anonymous posting.

[Robkk]

im sure when bbPress devs implement the @mentions scripts into bbPress they will have a way for it to work with the visual editor , well depending on their stance to implement the visual editor by default too.

if you really want the @mentions script from BuddyPress to work in the visual editor in bbPress you might need to hire a developer.

@fmckinnon

well there is the bbpress mark as read plugin which lists all the unread posts a user has in there subscriptions area. of your profile.

the developer does not reccommend the plugin on large sites though

i dont know if he fixed it where its okay , or that the listing all the users unread posts feature might be bad for large sites.

[Robkk]

the “go to first unread post” plugin (which doesn’t seem to be showing up)

its that little [>] by each topic title that has an unread post. When you click on the topic and see the new post it disappears.

The plugin also has a feature to bolden the topic titles that have posts unread but this requires editing the loop-single-topic.php template which you do with a child theme.

[Robkk]

@grantadmin

it is custom css , and its not in the bbpress.css file

it is custom just for what you want.

Add the CSS to any where you add custom CSS

like a child themes stylesheet
or a custom css plugin
