Start with

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings/general is fred@gmail.comthen it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/
3. Some people have fixed it with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

I am having issues with my bbPress forum to perform the following things :
1. Send emails to the Forum Admin when a new user “Subscribes” to the forum
2. Send email to the user who just “Subscribed” to a forum
3. Send email to the all the admins/moderators when a new forum is created.

Versions:
WordPress 4.8.3, bbPress 2.5.14
Link : http://www.gettheslice.com

Please advice if is this is an out of the box functionality of bbPress or if I am missing something in settings?

If this is not a default behavior, can you let me know what other plugin I can use to get this working on my forum. I appreciate all the help and suggestion.

Thanks,
Usha Patil

I don’t know what “clean theme” means, however.

sorry lazy writing – just means a wordpress default theme with no changes – eg twentyseventeen. The ones released by wordpress are tested against bbpress.

I’ll contact you again via email.

[Jason]

I installed and activated twentyseventeen theme and the problem persists with my installation of WordPress. I don’t know what “clean theme” means, however.

I understand that it is very difficult (or next to impossible) to troubleshoot unless someone else can duplicate the problem. I am isolating this to bbpress, though, since pagination in WordPress posts work perfectly. And, bbpress was the only plugin active when using a WordPress.org-designed theme. Perhaps my database has been corrupted. Who knows.

I appreciate your efforts to help me troubleshoot.

Any suggestions? Is my database not allowing writes? I am using 1and1 as my web and database host.

I’d like to remove the date stamp from topics and responses. I found a couple of code suggestions trough Google searches but I haven’t gotten any to work. As a work around, I simply changed the wordpress general settings for date and time to Custom, and then left the custom field blank. This almost worked. The date/time stamp changed from, for instance, “11/25/2017 at 7:03 am” to just ” at “. My trouble is that “at”. I’ve been sniffing through the wordpress and theme php files to remove it or change it to a space, but cannot figure out where the “at” is. Can anyone tell me how I can change or remove it?

[jomo]

I hear it’s used on wordpress.org and here…
I’m using it but on a smaller site and not using the new features and haven’t noticed any problems.
Note the RC5 package doesn’t include .min version of some files which will be needed if you are not running in debug.

Hi, I have this error message

“There was a problem cropping your profile photo.”

when I try to upload an avatar image with a width of 450px and above. Starting to 451px it works (even with an height of 150px). I get a warning message only if I try to upload an image under 150x150px :

“You have selected an image that is smaller than recommended. For best results, upload a picture larger than 150 x 150 pixels.”

So, I suppose this problem doesn’t come from a setting option somewhere.

The problem is the same when I switch to the default theme Twenty Fifteen and I have no other plugin activated (except HideMySite). Cover image works without problem.

Config:
Wordpress (new install) v4.9
Buddypress 2.9.2
php 5.6
GD enabled

Thanks.

There is a plugin that does private groups – hiding anything and everything as needed, with controls on who can see and who can post and when.

I keep running into the following error when trying to import my Vanilla 2.x forum database. I’m using WordPress 4.9 and bbpress 2.5.14.

Repair any missing information: Continue

Any ideas on what I need to do to get this error resolved?

[Robin W]

Private groups

and look at the topic permissions

This will allow you to set users to be able to create topics, but not reply

[Jason]

Update… if I go to Settings > Reading and change the value in “Blog pages show at most” to 2, I can access the 2nd page link (…page/2), but not the 3rd page. If I change the value in “Blog pages show at most” to 1, I can access all 3 pages. I only have 3 pages of topics, so I am not able to test higher page number navigation links.

It’s worth noting that regardless of the setting, I can always access the URL that ends in page2 and page3 (without the inbetween slash “/”). And, it appears that WordPress itself displays the page navigation links just fine. This pagination problem seems to be isolated to the bbpress plugin.

Hi guys.
On my current site I have exported forums, topics and replies via the WordPress built in export to XML function.
Then I am uploading these files to a new site with the same BBPress version and it looks like all goes well. When I go to Forums I can see all forums and how many topics they’ve got. But at the frontend the forums are empty when entering them.

I have run all the tools recount etc. and then every forum says 0 topics. I did map all users to existing users which I move prior to BBPress so I do not understand how this recount can reset all forums.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Hello everyone. I am using BBpress 2.5.14 with Buddypress 2.9.2 in a WordPress 4.9 and I have the following question.

On my website I have both entries and discussions marked as “downloads” and I would like to know if I can combine both formats on the same page or entry, of wordpress.
That is to say, when accessing a page, the entries with the category “Downloads” are listed and on the same page the forum “Downloads” with the debates.

Listing entries is not a problem, the problem is whether I can include the forum “downloads” on the same page.

Thanks and regards.

try

bbp style pack

We are using the twenty seventeen theme and building pages using Optimizepress and building a forum using BBPress. We are also using a plugin for OptimizePress bbPress fix to Allow rendering of forums on OptimizePress blog, however we are not building a blog; but a webpage for a forum using wordpress.

Wordpress V4.9
BBPres v2.0-rc-3

Currently we are still building and do not have it public and therefore no way to get to the forum page except thru the direct link:

Hi

I’ve looked around support forum here and also carefully through my localhost installation (where my bbpress forum is currently installed for test purposes) and I’m dashed if I can work out how to use .htaccess to password protect the entire forum.

I’m aware that there are other ways to authenticate users but some of my clients website visitors are young people and we are keen to ensure that access to the website forum is restricted most severely. By this I mean we wanted to place the forum in its own directory and then place .htaccess and .htpasswd in that directory to limit access to individuals who had personally been handed a note of what the username and password were.

Might I ask if I’ve missed something simple? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day
Gav

I somehow broke the page layout of my topic index and topic pages.

you have done something – the right sidebar is wrapped within the left hand stuff.

Since I don’t know what you have don to muck it up, it’s hard to suggest what to do to fix it.

If you haven’t directly edited anything, then something you have done within wordpress/theme/plugins/updates.

[DAM]

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2961
we have the same bug again after the update

[Robin W]

I go to login to my forum and it redirects me to the user dashboard of WooCommerce.

just tried it and it seemed fine – is woocommerce active?

Plus the BBPress toolbar no longer will appear at the top so people can’t see the links to their profile and forums.

not sure quite what you mean by the bbpress toolcar – do you mean the wordpress one?
