I used the WP Mail SMTP plugin and it didn’t work. Then I checked the settings and noticed that WordPress uses my admin username for SMTP mail whereas the mail username/password was different. I’ve updated the settings and verification emails started working. Thank you.

Hello,

I currently have this plugin installed onto my website which I plan on updating soon and I would like to know if it is compatible with the latest version of WordPress 5.7.2.

The current version of WordPress I am running is 5.5.5.

[Robin W]

ok, try this

add_filter ('bbp_get_time_since' , 'rew_time_since_translate' ) ;
		
	
	function rew_time_since_translate ($output) {
		$output = preg_replace('/years/', 'new word', $output);
		$output = preg_replace('/year/', 'new word', $output);
		$output = preg_replace('/days/', 'new word', $output);
		$output = preg_replace('/day/', 'new word', $output);
		
		return $output ;
	}

so change ‘new word’ in each case for what you want to show

you can add as many lines as you need, but always do the plural first so ‘years’ followed by ‘year’

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

In bbpress 2.6.x the date freshness format has changed.
If your translation has not been updated this will still display in English.

install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Freshness Display

and you will be able to enter translations there

Is there a way to remove the widget and just have a page for folks to go to instead?

A potentially quick and easy solution would be to create a page and embed the widget within it. To help with that, you might use this plugin or some other similar one:

Widget Shortcode

(I haven’t used it, and can’t vouch for it…and probably there are also block plugins that do much the same.)

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress.

I’d suggest 2 things

1. test using an email tester eg

WP Test Email

2. get details of your SMTP email configuration form your host and use

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so anything that works for wordpress will also work for bbpress

Hi,

I’m testing my new website and found a problem with user registration. When a new user registers (in this case myself using a different email address), the verification email isn’t being send to the user.

I, as an admin receive the email that the user x is registered.

Wondering what could cause this issue? and is there any known fix for this?

Hi,

I have restricted access to wp-login.php using IP address filtering from htaccess file. Is there a way to have two separate login URLs (php login files) one for admins and a custom URLs for non-admins? If not, I have to remove the IP filtering from my htaccess file.
I noticed that the custom login URL I created for bbPress still uses the wp-login.php.

[jason4locations]

The reason I asked Robin W. that question is because if the bbPress Login Widget has more than the following three options

1. Title: Here you can set the title of the widget as it will be displayed in the sidebar.
2. Register URI: Link to your custom signup page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-register] shortcode.
3. Lost Password URI: Link to your lost-password page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-lost-pass] shortcode.

then I might be missing out on too much to use a different Login Widget instead, and therefore I should try harder to figure out how to use the bbPress Login Widget, even though I’ve been struggling to figure out how to use it for a very long time.

[jason4locations]

Thank you, Robin W.

I’m curious why (if anything that works for WordPress registration will work for bbPress forum registration) the bbPress Login Widget was made.

[sbask]

Is there a way to have a page of recent replies, rather than a widget on every wordpress page?

We have an active forum (askwoody.com) and the replies widget is causing performance issues. Is there a way to remove the widget and just have a page for folks to go to instead?

Or would this plug in behave better?

bbpress just uses wordpress registration and login, so anything that works for wordpress registration will be fine.

Hey all,

Using bbPress version: 2.6.5

I have an odd issue where the audio drops out within the block after I upload.

It works initially, then often about 5-10 minutes after upload the audio shows up as 0.00 seconds on site.

To fix it, I have to keep the WordPress page open and update the story.

From there it locks in and doesn’t drop out.

It’s very frustrating as it happens every single time.

Help much appreciated! Thanks

Hello,

Some mathematical objects written in mathjax/latex use backslash (\). For example, one use \sqrt{} for the square root function, \mathbb{} for the set of numbers. In bbpress forums, these objects work perfectly but when the forums are displayed in buddypress activities streams, the backslash disappears and therefore the mathematical symbols are not rendered and make the texts difficult to read. If the texts are typed directly in buddypress side, things are also alright. So, the problem seems to be in the transition from forum to the buddypress activities.

I tried some solutions but nothing work. For example, I tried this solution: remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_content’, ‘stripslashes_deep’ ); but it did not work.
So I am asking for help; how can I do to solve the problem?

Thank you in advance

Wordpress 5.7.2
bbpress 2.6.6

Regards

BOTH

You will need to test the below, as I don’t use either plugin on any forum site.

PM PRO

for PMpro you have the following hooks :

Action and Filter Hooks

I am guessing that pmpro_membership_post_membership_expiry is the correct hook.

so the code you need is :

add_action( 'pmpro_membership_post_membership_expiry', 'rew_remove_subscriptions') ;

function rew_remove_subscriptions ($user_id=0) {
	$forums = bbp_get_user_subscribed_forum_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($forums as $forum=>$id) {
		bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id, 'post' ) ;
	}
	$topics = bbp_get_user_subscribed_topic_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($topics as $topic=>$id) {
	bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id , 'post' ) ;
	}
}

MEMBERPRESS

for Memberpress you have the following links

https://docs.memberpress.com/article/325-action-hooks-in-memberpress

I am guessing that ‘mepr-event-subscription-stopped`

is the correct one, but you might need to query with memberpress

so for memberpress you would have

add_action( 'mepr-event-subscription-stopped', 'rew_remove_subscriptions') ;

function rew_remove_subscriptions ($event) {
	$subscription = $event->get_data();
	$user_id = $subscription->user();
	$forums = bbp_get_user_subscribed_forum_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($forums as $forum=>$id) {
		bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id, 'post' ) ;
	}
	$topics = bbp_get_user_subscribed_topic_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($topics as $topic=>$id) {
	bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id , 'post' ) ;
	}
}

I have a paid membership WordPress (5.7.2) site using bbPress. I have it set for users to be able to subscribe to forums/topics. However, when their membership expires, they are still getting email notifications of their subscriptions. How can I prevent this?

Thanks!

Thank you, Robin W. I found a solution at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-the-search-form/.

[salar2]

Hi,
My website WordPress version is 5.5.5. bbpress version 2.6.6 BuddyPress 7.3.0.
Child theme is Twenty Twenty.
BBpress language is farsi. My problem is the time of topics and repies is 4:30 off incomparision to Tehran time (It actually shows UCT instead of Tehran’s time). 3 examples:

برادرم جنسیت بچه اش رو نمیگه

دکتر معینی پزشک زنان

واکسن کرونا

When I use the bbPress forum search form, it adds it to the search form that was already there, so now there are two. I’d prefer to only have one, the bbPress one. I thought removing the one that was already there would be a WordPress problem (not a bbPress problem) because, to remove it, I could use the Disable Search plugin or the code at

https://www.wpbeginner.com/awp-tutorials/how-to-disable-the-search-feature-in-wordpress/

with Code Snippets. But, neither of those two methods worked. I couldn’t find the form that was already there at the widgets page. I also couldn’t remove it by customizing a header. I know that this might seem like more of a WordPress or theme problem, but because bbPress has the option of adding its forum search form, I thought a lot of people who use bbPress might wind up with too many forms (and bring it up at this forum). But, I couldn’t find anyone who has the same problem as me, at this forum. My site is at dancing4locations.org. There, you can see the bbPress form that I want to keep below the login form, and the form that I want to remove (which is to the left of the login form).

Thank you.

The images are decayed in the wordpress media gallery so all wordpress plugins are fine.
