bbPress 2.6.6
WordPress 5.5.3
When users turn on the option to “notify me of follow-up replies”, if the reply is from a user with forum role = Keymaster, the user does not get the email notification that there has been a reply. However, if the reply is from a user with forum role = participant, the user does get the email notification that there has been a reply. Any thoughts on what I have set incorrectly?
@erich199 and @bodybyloud – I have now had a look at the code.
I’m presuming both of you are using wordpress with blocks (ie the newer block editor rather than the classic editor) in posts and pages – I can see that this would not allow you to add topics for posts to new (or amend existing).
But it would allow the display in posts for old ones.
Is this what you are seeing ?
If so I think I can help, if not – can you explain further what is not happening

On the fresh wordpress site without Elementor, I added Elementor and changed the page to an elementor page. In that case, Elementor didn’t strip out the tag.
On the built-up site I disabled all the plugins except Elementor and the tags still do not appear. So perhaps it is a certain setting in Elementor that is causing the problem …not sure. Obviously I can’t state with 100% certainty that Elementor is causing the problem but I’ve spent so much time with this that I cannot continue testing. I’ve decided to just go ahead with the workaround of manually inserting the tags when I create the Forum Description.
I would definitely avoid Elementor in the future on any site that I’m developing entirely on my own. I feel that for me it adds too much unnecessary complexity – opening the door to bugs that take too long to find.
ok, so I can only suggest you do some issue finding

Did you really mean “theme folder”? The theme is “Hello Elementor” and there’s no bbpress folder in there.
The version of the bbpress plugin is a fresh version that I installed myself this week.
Other plugins installed (by someone else) on the site are:
bbp style pack
WP Forms
Elementor – Header, Footer & Bocks
Essential Content types
Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights
Jetpack
OptinMonster API
WPForms Lite
Yoast SEO
UPDATE:
Robin, I just tested this on a fresh wordpress install (ie: without Elementor) and I see that the tag is there !!!
So this leads me to believe that Elementor must be stripping the tag.
I cannot give you a link to this install because it’s on my local workstation (with a LAMP install). The tag I’m seeing at the forum description is: bbp-forum-content
This is the interface I’m talking about. That’s what I see when I click “Add New” [Forum] (with minor differences). The Forum Title gets entered into the “Enter title here” box. I’m saying that any text entered in the large post text area below …ends up showing up as forum description in the Forum index …but it shows up without tags of any kind.
Here’s what I mean:
Take a look at https://westseattleblog.com/forum
Under the “Freebies, Sales, Trades” forum there is a forum description that says:
“This is also where to list garage/yard sales”
I wasn’t sure how bbpress intends for users to get a forum description like that. The way I did it was that I noticed that when I “Add New Forum”, I’m in a WordPress interface that’s practically identical to the interface to create a post or page …and the post/page Title becomes the title of the forum. So in the normal text area of the “create post” interface I added the text that I intended for my forum description.
Perhaps that’s just a “hack” that works but it’s not the intended way to do it, yes? What is the intended way to add a forum description?
this (surprisingly) is not easy within bbpress.
You would do better to force worpdress to have display name as username eg
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/138034/default-display-name-as-username
ah, I see what you ae getting at – not sure how this site does it, but you can create a link to a page in your site and put
[bbp-topic-index] in that page – that will show the latest 15 topics
If you want better than that, then
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcode
and check out the
[bsp-display-topic-index] which has lots of settings you can use to control what is shown
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Custom CSS
If I understand
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_topic_form_tags' , 'rew_tag_desc' ) ;
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_form_tags' , 'rew_tag_desc' ) ;
function rew_tag_desc () {
echo '<p>words here</p>' ;
}
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

just tried it on my website, and that code works fine.
3 possibilities
1. the 90 is wrong
2. the 90 forum does not have sub forums
3. some other code is filtering the bbp_forum_get_subforums function
If you are happy it is not 1 or 2, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

it sends the user to the wordpress login screen,
can you define ‘it’ please – what is sending you where?
Thank you! The problem is I cannot predict when the issue will occur. I do not know exactly how to duplicate the problem – only notice that is seems to occur around WordPress updates.
Do you haves you other way to test?

Wordpress 5.53
bbpress version 2.66
livelikeaviking.com/talk
I am running into a problem – has been going on for a long time – when anything updates on this site, I need to flush the permalinks or the topics will not work. If someone chooses a topic in the forum, they are directed to the home page of the site.
If I manually flush permalinks, everything operates correctly.
Can you advise?
I have just tried it on my test site with WordPress 5.5.3 with bbPress 2.6.6, and it changed fine with no issues.
so you go into the edit, and click ‘generate password’ and then type in a paswword and click update Profile and that works.
Is this what you are trying?
I recently upgraded bbPress and now it’s not possible to set a new password when editing a profile at URL like: /forums/users/user-example/edit/
E.g. Type a password into the New Password field.
Click the field below to type password again – the field does not allow anything to be entered and the first field is reduced to a single character. So it’s not possible to confirm the new password!
It seems that bbPress is using /wp-admin/js/user-profile.min.js, so is this an issue with WordPress core?
I’m getting this issue on the following versions:
WordPress 5.5.1 with bbPress 2.6.5
WordPress 5.5.3 with bbPress 2.6.6
Live website is sgrt.org
Also seen on local version and staging version.
Thanks
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.com then 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.

Next try switching to smtp email – this page from the host Siteground explains it
https://www.siteground.co.uk/tutorials/wordpress/use-smtp/
If you choose other SMTP servers as a mailer, then you email/website hoster shoud be able to give you details of what to enter
and of course
By default, you do NOT receive emails for your own topics/replies, only if somebody else replies on your subscribed topics
so testing would need two email accounts to prove !
add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'rew_add_html' ) ;
function rew_add_html () {
echo '<b>hello</b>';
}
and amend echo '<b>hello</b>'; to what you want
