ok, can only suggest you try this, and then discuss with your theme author

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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

there are several plugins that do this eg

CB Change Mail Sender

or you can google for code

Thanks both! this has been very useful. I have one more question, when I get the email registration confirmation, the email comes from wordpress.org, how do I change these settings so the email comes from my own domain?

bbpress registration just uses wordpress registration, so likely a site/wordpress issue

copy/paste of my standard advice on email – hopefully it will help

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.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

Next try switching to smtp email – this page from the host Siteground explains it

https://www.siteground.co.uk/tutorials/wordpress/use-smtp/

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 !

[Robin W]

you should get a ‘next page’ but probably easiest just to up the number.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display

and set the number in item 11

I have allowed my students to be moderators so they can create forums for class discussions.

Why can I only display 50 at a time?
Can’t there be a next page link to see more forums? I know there are more than 50.

Forum

[samtime]

Hi,
After updating WooCommerce to the latest version (4.6.1), the plugin is now hiding the WordPress admin bar for bbPress moderators and keymasters. Making it harder for them to moderate the forums.

The following code in my functions.php file used to resolve the issue, however it no longer works:

add_action('init', function(){
if(class_exists('WooCommerce') && function_exists('bbp_get_user_role') && is_user_logged_in()){

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();	
$user_id = $current_user->ID;	
$bbp_get_user_role = bbp_get_user_role($user_id);

if($bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_keymaster' || $bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_moderator'){	
add_filter( 'woocommerce_prevent_admin_access', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_disable_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
}
});

I posted this question to the WooCommerce forums and am also posting it here in case anyone else is having similar problems?

Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sam

WordPress 5.5.1 with Reykjavik theme, bbPre Version 2.6.5. https://help-is.com/

Hello, I am writing from Italy and I ask forgiveness for the bad translation. Registered and activated users are unable to log in, enter a WordPress loop that requires registration details and then return to the home screen without the user, who has filled in everything correctly, being able to enter and modify the profile or create a forum . I can no longer add users manually because bbp tells me they are already registered. I do not know how to do.
Thank you!

Hello i have just done an import from older website with forums,topics, and replies as separate files due to content already done on the website so doing an export of everything is not possible

However everything is now disconnected and when i run the tools to repair forum it fails on all linking can’t even see replies in wordpress backend due to using too much memory.

I can see everything before the fix and is all ok, just the parent relationships not working

Is there a better importer, old site is wp 3.7 so modern plugins not an option, going through one by one is not an option as there is 1000’s of every level

Or is there a better way to rebuild relationships

I’m currently using Twenty Twenty theme and WordPress 5.5.1 and installed a new version of bbpress, version 2.6.5. When looking at my forums overview this has been converted to text. How can I solve this?

Hi,

this plugin works for me properly, I use hash instead of display name.

Edit Author Slug

[Robin W]

bbpress itself does not allow uploads, so it will be an add-on plugin.

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/ is one of the favourites for that.

The actual error is almost impossible to work out without knowing what is on the site.

it could be file type, or file size, so give that some experience and other not, then I’d try uploading different types and different sizes to see if you can work out when this happens.

Hi Robin,
Thanks for your quick response.
I tried the first plugin on your link and it worked perfectly out the box.

Can highly recommend it to others:

Thanks again.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Roles and you can hide any/all roles or do lots of other things

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress signup, so whatever your WordPress site is using.

There are several plugins that will let you change this email eg

https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-send-a-custom-welcome-email-to-new-users-in-wordpress/

or if you’re into coding, just google around to find some code

• WordPress 5.4.2
• bbpress 2.6.5
• Buddypress 6.3.0 w/ Activities module activated
• bbp Style pack w/ both form editors (TinyMCE + text) activated
• bbp Mentions suggest

The bbp Mentions suggest plugin by the venerable @robin-w still works and enables autocomplete mentions in TinyMCE as well as in the Text (HTML) tab of the editor … but only on initial page load, since bbpress 2.6.2.

Since bbpress 2.6.2, when clicking on Reply to a specific comment on a subject thread, the dynamic reply form now appears under the comment in question, and the window scrolls to it. Which is a very nice improvement! However, this breaks Robin’s plugin for the TinyMCE editor (mentions do still autocomplete in the Text editor, at least).

I’m not a developer but I’m guessing it has to do with the new version of /bbpress/templates/default/js/reply.js, specifically the addEditor function at the end of the file.

@robin-w any ideas how to get your plugin to play nice with the dynamic reply form in bbpress ≥2.6.2?

Or anyone else out there?

Cheers in advance!

Hey guys,

I’m not new to the WordPress world but I am new to the bbPress one. I’ve done some digging and can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. I plan on using bbPress as an organized way to communicate with my clients and I’d like to use the forum topic status feature to define when a topic is closed.

I’ve done some research on support topics and found a few plugins but most are abandoned or allow no customization of the topic status’. Does anyone out there have some input on a plugin that might help me achieve what I’m after?

[Robin W]

it is a bug that can be seen sometimes with subforums.

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

Fix Last Active Time

This should fix it for future, but you may also need to run

dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums>freshness

to reset it.

sorry, one of the many annoying thing now that WordPress has blocks is that it doesn’t like shortcodes unless written in a special way – I’ll release a new version shortly, but yes you add it as a shortcode block in a page, and that is your forums page
