Hi, let me try to cut these questions in different parts.
I only get email notifications on some new topics and replies.
Some basic things: You need to subscribe to the forum to get new topics. You need to subscribe to the topic to get the replies. You will not get notifications for your own topics that you post.
Said that, it seems that on some forums there are issues in getting out the emails. You could try by installing a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/ and I would also suggest to use an SMTP tool (like postman smtp or other) that has good logs so you can find out what is happening.
I can’t find the setting to ensure I get notified whenever a new post is added.
As you are on the bbPress forum, I suppose you talk about ‘topic’ and not ‘post’ ? If you talk about new topics, you need to be sure to be subscribed to the forum. You could use a plugin e.g bbP Manage Subscriptions to have the overview of who is subscribed to what forum.
I cannot find their emails or names at all in my user tab of my wordpress admin….
If you just use bbPress on WordPress, you have to find them there. If not, you will have to ask in a pure wordpress forum. If you would also use BuddyPress, then it’s better to ask in their forum.
Hope it gives you some directions.

I cannot seem to figure out what is wrong with my forum notifications.

Also, my users are not being stored.

Hi,
This is unfortunately a known bug : https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2876
We hope that in the upcoming version 2.6 it is included.

Hello,
I recently added a bbpress forum to my wordpress site and I encounter a weird bug with the freshness column. If I delete a post in a topic the freshness column on the forum page display the date and author of the topic, not the last reply.
Here are some screens :
In the topic section (Which display the right information) : http://imgur.com/fHeSVrD
in the forum section (Which display the wrong information) : http://imgur.com/Xlg7UQX
I tried to do a repair through the forums tools in wp-admin but the bug is still here.
If someone have an idea.
Thank you,
Jaeha
Here is the hack we are using to make our custom filter work:
<?php
function likebtn_notifications_get_notifications_for_user($action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string')
{
global $wp_filter;
$return = '';
if (count($m) == 3) {
// Do something here
// We modify global wp_filter to call our bbPress wrapper function
if (isset($wp_filter['bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user'][10]['bbp_format_buddypress_notifications'])) {
$wp_filter['bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user'][10]['bbp_format_buddypress_notifications']['function'] = 'likebtn_bbp_format_buddypress_notifications';
}
return $return;
}
return $action;
}
// bbPres has a bug:
// https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/return-value-in-bbp_format_buddypress_notifications/
// https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6669
// Filter must be called before corresponding bbPress filter
add_filter('bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'likebtn_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 5, 5);
// Wrapper for bbp_format_buddypress_notifications function as it is not returning $action
function likebtn_bbp_format_buddypress_notifications($action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string')
{
$result = bbp_format_buddypress_notifications($action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format);
if (!$result) {
$result = $action;
}
return $result;
}
I look after a site that is purely used as a forum and news posts and have two small groups that have an exclusive membership, the groups are hidden and until recently they appeared on the groups list. They are now invisible to the members of said groups though the list shows that there are some, you just can’t see them.
I am using the following:
Theme: Quest (1.3.0)
Plugins: Anti-Spam by CleanTalk (5.31), Buddypress (2.4.0), BBpress (2.5.8), FEEDZY RSS Feeds by b*web (2.6.1), Jetpack by WordPress.com (3.8.0), MailChimp Forms by MailMunch (2.1.3), Meta Slider (3.3.5), Sitewide newsletters (0.4)
I have tested this with Twenty Fifteen (I do not have the others installed). It works with Twenty Fifteen (but looks pretty awful).
I know that I can give people links to the forums, but it looks incredibly odd and is rather difficult for those who aren’t so savvy (or are looking for something quickly).
Does anyone have any idea why this isn’t working?
Hi,
A trac ticket was already registered for that. The full fix should be included in the upcoming 2.6. If not the wordaround is also mentioned in the ticket.

This seems to be a serious BuddyPress bug.

Hi – Hoping someone knows where I can change the titles “Posts” & Freshness” to “Replies” & “Last Post” on all pages & widgets? (The ones that always come after “Voices” &”Topics”.)
Wordpress: 4.3.1
Divi Theme: 2.5.5
BBPress: 2.5.8
bbp style pack: 2.8.3
Thanks for your help.
Hi – I am hoping someone can assist with configuring the “Create New Topic” text box to not automatically show up on ANY page. Is there a way to make it where it only appears if the user clicks on “Create New Topic”?
The same with the “Reply” button. Not have the reply text box automatically show up on any page until a user clicks on “Reply”?
Thanks for your help.
Wordpress: 4.3.1
Divi Theme: 2.5.5
BBPress: 2.5.8
bbp style pack: 2.8.3
My question: do you really want those revisions ?
I delete them regularly using https://wordpress.org/plugins/rvg-optimize-database/
Pascal.
I have found two plugins that purport to change authors, but neither one works. Admin Columns Pro provides inline editing for Topics and Replies, but you walk through the steps to find the correct author and set it, but it doesn’t save. Orbisius bbPress Enhancer adds the author field to the Bulk Edit and to the post edit for both Topics and Replies, but – again – a change is not saved. I had gconverter.com import into bbpress a Drupal forum where a user had to be registered to post and gconverter.com left 1500 entries as “Anonymous”. I can’t do a simple replace using SQL because not all of the Anonymous postings go to the same user. I’m on 4.3.1 WordPress and bbpress 2.5.8 Does anyone have any ideas?

Ok I see now. When you click the author link on your production site, you can see it is trying to lead to the bbPress forum profile then it just redirects to the homepage for some reason. What we need to do is try to find what is causing the redirect.
Can you do some troubleshooting to first see if you deactivate ultimate member and the bbPress addon, that the author links go to the regular bbPress forum profiles fine.
Can you also try in a default WordPress theme too to see if the same issue is present.
Troubleshooting
I cannot see the same issue you are getting with the generatepress theme and also twenty fifteen.
Did you close and sticky a topic from the WordPress backend??
Can you link to your site so I can see if this is a possible CSS issue?
When you switch to a default theme to leave it as default, do not transfer custom code snippets that you may have from one theme to it. Same thing if you have custom code snippets in a seperate plugin to try to pinpoint where the issue is present.
I recreated a clone, exactly the same that the principal website.
All is the same, I remind that the website are configured on wordpress multisite.
Login : bbpresshelp
password : Helpme15
Work (click on author and get the author profil) : http://testsite.fieci-cfecgc.org/forums/topic/test/
Doesn’t work (click on author and redirect to homepage) : http://www.fieci-cfecgc.org/forums/topic/test/
I’m very lost
Are you talking about the bbPress login widget??
The widget has configurable fields in it to customize the register and lost password urls, and you should be able to customize the widget in the widgets section in WordPress in its respective sidebar. You can add the urls of your woocommerce registration forms too.
If your theme hardcoded it or something, you might want to contact your theme author as to how to set it up since the urls are heading to forums/register and such.
Hello,
Customizer doesn’t save correctly when WP_DEBUG is enabled and bbPress is active.
With that I mean that the save button doesn’t change state after the AJAX call has been successful. This leads to a “navigation confirmation” alert after saving when trying to navigate away from Customizer.
I haven’t tested this without enabled WP_DEBUG, but bbPress also outputs the following notice:
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /...../wp-includes/functions.php on line 3784
WordPress version: 4.4-beta3-35590
Theme: Twenty Sixteen 0.1.20150828
Thanks!
I’m looking for a plugin for the three.
Actually i use TinyMCE with BuddyPress Forum Editor to have a wysiwyg editor for the wordpress comments and bbpress forum. I don’t have Wysiwyg editor for the buddypress comment on the user profil and group profil.
Hi,
When a user create a topic, if you want to check his profile by clicking on his picture profile or username, you are redirected on the homepage.
I already saw this topic : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-profiles-redirecting-to-home-page/
But still not working with checking or unchecking “Disable author archive” on SEO Yoast.
I’ve made a clone of my website, it’s exactly the same website in everything.
But on the clone, all works good.
I’m a little lost.
I’m using WordPress Multisite and my clone is a child site of the WP-MU configuration.
Don’t understand why on the clone everything works and not on the principal site…
Can you help me please ?
Thanks a lot guys.
Nathan
Strange … Did you follow what Robin explained ?
ok, the simplest way would be
Dashboard>forums>all forums and edit each forum
put the banner in the description
then download my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
and tick item 6 Add Forum Description on the forum display tab
Then probably the best thing is to create a standard wordpress page, add any text/images you want and below that use the correct shortcode like [bbp-forum-index] for all forums or [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] for a specific forum.
Check out https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/ for the shortcodes.
If that is not what you are looking for, get back here.

Hey,
I’m looking for a wysiwyg editor for my gaming community’s website, I need a plugging supporting buddypress, bbpress and wordpress comments , like that our users could be less restricted.
thanks,
Red’
Hi,
It depends if you want to play yourself with CSS like this:
.bbp-topic-content p,
.bbp-reply-content p {
font-size: 16px;
}
Or if you want Robin’s plugin that can do most of that for you : https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
Pascal.
Then I would propose to ask in that support forum (https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-new-ui) because from the database your data seems to be correct.
Hi Casiepa and thx for your answer 🙂
I already tried this operation several times without results …
This is my activate extension :
Akismet, bbP private groups, bbp style pack, bbPress, bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab, bbPress Go To First Unread Post, bbPress New Topics, bbPress New UI, bbPress Quotes, bbPress Unread Posts v2, bbPress Votes, bbPress WP Tweaks, bbPress2 BBCode, bbPress2 shortcode whitelist, BBSpoiler, BuddyPress, BuddyPress Captcha, Emojin, GD bbPress Tools, Krown Portfolio, Mandrill For WordPress – Email form under Post, oAuth Twitter Feed for Developers, Revolution Slider, TinyMCE Advanced, User Role Editor, Widgets on Pages, WordPress Social Login, WP Emoji One, WP Maintenance Mode, WP ULike, WPBakery Visual Composer
Perhaps one is inconsistent ?
I modify CSS too, but i think it’s not a problem ?
