Yeah this is custom development. I suggest you hire a developer if you want something like this.
In this plugin though, it deletes replies by the set hours in the settings. You can edit the code to change the post_status to “publish” instead of “spam”. This might be resource intensive depending on how many replies you have currently on your forums.

If this is only for A and Y you may be able to use a find and replace plugin.

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

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.
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.
Unless I’m missing something, since the problem in my case is that some spam posts get through (don’t get marked as spam), a plugin that automatically deletes spam posts wouldn’t really help here.
To reiterate: the problem I’m trying to solve is manual spammers who register on the website and post on the forums. The most straightforward way to combat this would seem to be to moderate all messages by new users, which is a built in function of WordPress but not bbPress. The bbPress Moderation plugin in theory offers that functionality but doesn’t seem to work for me and also doesn’t appear to be maintained any longer.
Hi, I’ve got an issue with the user experience when someone is not logged in:
I disabled the topic creation for not logged in users, but the form is still there. When the non-logged user writte and submit its topic, he got the message: “ERROR: You do not have permission to create new topics.” This is no good, since the customer took his time to write something.
I would like to hide the posting form for non logged users and display them a message to ask them to be connected first, how could I do that?

Wordpress 4.2.4 and bbpress up to date
Problèm ok
function edit_url_profil_bar_admin( $wp_admin_bar ) {
global $current_user;
$wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
'id' => 'my-account',
'href' => ('/forums/membre/'. $current_user->user_login),
) );
$wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
'id' => 'user-info',
'href' => ('/forums/membre/'. $current_user->user_login),
) );
$wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(

'href' => ('/forums/membre/'. $current_user->user_login .'/edit/'),
) );
}
add_filter( 'admin_bar_menu', 'edit_url_profil_bar_admin' );
with this code, I have exactly what I wanted.
I helped myself this http://www.geekpress.fr/wordpress/tutoriel/modifier-howdy-admin-bar-1102/ code to make the change. In addition, I took a piece of their code as I removed the greeting. I just put the code to change the links.
Hi I have the following problem.
I want to merge 2 topics.
I press the link Merge in the topic I want to merge and at the next screen under the Label “Destination” has the following message: “There are no other topics in this forum to merge with”.
There are many topics in the same forum.
I had this abbility, to merge topics, in previous versions (before 2.5.7).
Now I have WordPress 4.2.4 and Bbpress 2.5.8
Is something that I must check?
Thanks

And the answer was … ?
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 think rtMedia might be what you are looking for. Some features you listed might be in a paid addon though.

It probably got fixed in a new WordPress update. This happens sometimes.
Hi,
I’m using bbpress 2.5.8 on wordpress 4.2.4.
My request seems so stupid, but I just don’t find it… 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 ?
Thanks, Pascal.
It is these values but I tried to create a function to replace values but I do not know it at all.
I try to put code in my function.php not affect my wordpress (update)
Sorry for the super duper late reply, your post was marked as spam and had to be approved by a moderator.
You can run PHP in CSS unless you put your styles in a PHP function and added the code to the header using the wp_head hook.

I do not have a list of great themes to choose from but bbPress can work with any WordPress theme you install.
I explain it better here.
Installing Themes
You create any old regular WordPress theme.
This WordPress codex guide will get you started into theme development.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
Sorry for the late reply your post was marked as spam and was awaiting approval.
bbPress themes are basically just WordPress themes, you can use any WordPress theme and theme compatibility in the bbPress plugin will do the rest. You may need to edit some files though, because some themes may be tricky to work with.
I explain it better here.
Installing Themes
I don’t think the current version of bbpress supports importing from phpbb 3.1
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2716
Thats more information that I am getting, where are you seeing that output?
Mine just sits on ‘starting conversion’ and never progress any further than that no matter how long I leave it.
I am also having issues. I have 3.1.5 of phpbb installed. I just get the following.
Repair any missing information: Continue

@abcdiamond A good DB search and replace plugin is https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/
The class="bbcode_url" could most likely be ignored as it’s only a CSS style
Strange that you have <tt> and not </tt>, I’ll take a another look at these.
the link?
I do not see how we can do to have a variable and divide it into two.
If not, i thought the easiest way to do not touch the core of WordPress is created a condition more about $profile_url will either go to /forums/membre/user or go to /forums/membre/user/edit
ok, I just discovered the solution on another forum. In your WordPress Appearance menu, go to Editor and find meta-single-topic.php and locate the following code:
<a href="<?php echo home_url() ?>">← Back to discussions</a>
Change it to:
<a href="<?php echo home_url() ?>/forums">← Back to discussions</a>
Or enter the forum URL manually.
