@peterwsterling,
The HTML tags are being converted to HTML entities in bbp_topic_pagination_count(), because of output esacping (esc_html() in this case). If you want to wrap the output from bbp_get_topic_pagination_count() in a <span>, you’ll need to replace all usages of bbp_topic_pagination_count() with your own custom output function, or echo bbp_get_topic_pagination_count(). The latter is not recommended. A custom output function might look like below:
function my_topic_pagination_count() {
echo '<span>' . esc_html( bbp_get_topic_pagination_count() ). '</span>';
}

I can confirm your widget issue. I’ve created at ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3123.
You can follow the progress there.
This is because you’re actually using an old version of bbPress 2.6. bbPress 2.6-RC3 is published on the WP.org plugin repo (although it’s a bit hard to find with the new design), so WordFence is using those files as the comparison. These are legitimate file changes, and I would recommend updating to 2.6-RC3. Below is the official download link

@jwill207, Without seeing the page you’re trying to change, it’s hard to say what you need to do.
@5unnykum4r, This is a separate issue. Please start a new topic, and provide some extra details. Also, it appears that you’re not using bbPress, so it might be better to post your question here, https://wordpress.org/support/.
@karilistermanyahoocom
The default from email address for bbPress emails is noreply@(url).com. If you’re seeing wordpress@(url).com, it’s either not an email sent by bbPress, or you’re using a plugin that is changing the from address for all emails sent.
To change the bbPress email, you would use the filter bbp_get_do_not_reply_address. For most (if not all) emails sent by your WordPress install, you’d use the wp_mail_from filter.

What I can tell you for sure as a general feedback is that since I’ve moved to bbPRess from phpBB the forum has suddenly died and users are pushing me to roll back to phpBB as they don’t find bbPress as user friendly.
Humans are generally resistant to change. That doesn’t mean they’re wrong, but it also doesn’t mean they’re right. If you would be willing to share specific feedback your users have given you, we would love to look it over and see what we can do. There’s lots of room for improvement.
2.6a has been there for a while and I am wondering when a stable version will be available and what new functionalities will be available.
I’m curious about what specific version of 2.6-alpha you’re running (this should be listed in the admin on the plugins page, e.g. – 2.6-alpha-XXXX). Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter though, because we’re currently at 2.6-beta-2 (https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6-beta-2.zip).
I would suggest updating to 2.6-beta-2 and seeing if anything improves. 2.6 will have a lot of improvements. Performance is one of those improvements. The biggest performance improvements won’t becoming until beta-3 is released, but you can always download the development version (https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip).
Do let us know what comes of any changes.
Downgrading is possible, but how it could be a lot of work.
- What version of bbPress are you actually running? You say alpha, but there have been betas released.
- Are you running any plugins that make use of new features and functions of 2.6?
- Have you made any customizations to your theme that make use of new features and functions of 2.6? I’ve seen at least one theme that requires 2.6 for bbPress support. Is this th
- I’ve seen at least one theme that requires 2.6 for bbPress support. Is this the case with your theme?
I don’t know how to check that. I made that assumption based by checking your site for JavaScript files that were available in 1.4.x, but not 1.6.x or 1.8.x. My guess is that you could log into to MyBB and find the version number there.
The site you linked to appears to be running MyBB 1.4.x. The importer only works on MyBB 1.6.x and 1.8.x. You would need to upgrade to one of those versions, first, before the bbPress importer will work.
@padrenola I’ve added a reply on your ticket, but I wanted to post here as well.
The issue you are seeing is related to your theme, so you will want to get in touch with their support to get an official fix. You can send them to the ticket for background. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3059
In the meantime, adding the below code to the bottom of your theme’s/child theme’s functions.php file should give you some relief.
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_topic_count_int', 'x_bbpress_filter_forum_topic_count' );
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_reply_count_int', 'x_bbpress_filter_forum_reply_count' );
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_post_count_int', 'x_bbpress_filter_forum_post_count' );
The fix is in. Thanks for the report. That bug has been there for close to 5 years 🙁
If you don’t want anyone posting in these forums at all, then try turning them into a category.
If you’re on a test install, you can try turning on WP_DEBUG to see if it gives you anything useful. I also like to turn on WP_DEBUG_LOG, just in case the errors occur before output. This saves all of the errors to wp-content/debug.log.
Try running the importer with at least WP_DEBUG turned on (I think errors will appear in the live importer box). This should help you get a better understanding of what’s failing.
If nothing useful appears, then yes, try deleting the first 4899 rows from the offending db table. Sometimes the issue is PHP memory/timeout issues. There are steps taken to prevent these, but the importer process is intensive to say the least.
Nevermind. I found the issue. This will be fixed in 2.6.

Let us know. We’re working hard to get 2.6 out the door soon, so if there’s something we need to fix, the sooner the better 🙂
Do you have a link I can see?
It’s important that BuddyPress/bbPress is capable of protecting itself first before resorting to other 3rd-party/premium plugins.
It is important, and bbPress does protect itself, where appropriate. The forums at this link are public forums, which means that anyone can view them, logged in or not. The MemeberPress plugin is restricting these public forums to logged in users. Since it’s a premium plugin, I don’t have access to the code. My guess, since it seems to do it’s job well on the forums, is that it’s not properly applying the same logic to single topics/replies and search. The result being that there is some data leakage.
You should only see this issue on the feeds of topics with replies. Is this the case?
The remaining issues will need to be solved via the MemberPress plugin.
The best answer we can give is “soon.” We have 24 tickets in the 2.6 milestone. Most of them have patches and are ready for commit, and few will likely get punted to a future release. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it in the next month or two. Keep in mind that that is by no means an official timeline 😉
@newguy Take a look at the bbp_topic_reply_count() and bbp_get_topic_reply_count() functions.
Can’t reproduce using the GeneratePress theme.
So, I’ll ask again. Are you using any caching plugins? Are you running Memcached/Memcache or Varnish?
Do you have any plugins in your mu-plugins folder?
Are you running any caching plugins? I cannot reproduce this running bbPress 2.5.9 and the TwentyFifteen theme.
Looks like you got this solved, no?
I’ve tested this, and cannot see where bbPress is translating the <pubDate>. Feeds use mysql2date() to generate the <pubDate>, and they pass false as the translate parameter. It’s been this way since feeds were introduced. Are you or your client using custom feed templates?
