bbpress just uses wordpress registration.

I’d sugggest you check that your site is sending emails, there are lots of plugins that do this, but maybe using

Check & Log Email

Hi
I have created a forum, I have a course, but I just cannot get the forum to show on the course.

Ideally, I’d like the forum to be in a group, but can only find instructions on having a forum with a course. I have the course, I have the forum, but I just can’t get the forum to show on the course.

I’ve looked everywhere and spent all day trying to figure it out.

I use the bbpress plugin for Learndash, on WordPress.com

Hello

There is an issue where I can not delete any BBPress/Wordpress user as when I do the server gives internal error 500.

Either from the Buddypress frontend or from the WordPress users admin panel.

I looked at the error logs and can see
“mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 31 seconds”

I tried updating this in apache to 60, but it seems to not have done anything.

When a reply is posted, 2 email notifications are sent out to users: see #1 AND #2 below.

#1. email format (template): I want only this one to be sent! I created it in bbPress Notify (No spam).

Hello! A new reply has been posted by Jane Carole.

Excerpt

Source: Created by me in bbPress Notify
This one is sent out and has the correct format and contents.
It is the only one I want to send.

#2. email format (template): I do not want this one to be sent.

Jane Carole posted new reply:

Source: I don’t know where this one is coming from.
It is automatically sent right after #1 is sent.

In summary:

I need to stop #2, but don’t know how. I think maybe it is the bbpress default email text. (I used bbPress Style pack, Subscription emails tab, and checked the box that allows me to enter different email body text, but the changes I make (in instructions 4-9 of that tab) aren’t applied and used even though I save them. The default text keeps appearing.

I thought that The bbPress Notify plugin would stop any other email notifications (I marked override subscriptions), but for some reason that isn’t happening.

Help please! (I am posting this again because for some reason when I posted it earlier today it was wrongly marked as spam!)

[Robin W]

yes it does !

can’t see an easy fix – it’s not a question I have seen before, so suspect that it is a rare search

You could try

Ajax Search Lite

My website keswickmountaineeringclub.com uses forums, e.g. to log information about rock climbing meets. The Meets forum says it has 113 subscribers, but if you list the subscribers and count them you find there are 93. If you list the notification emails sent out you see (scattered throughout the list of emails in the email log) 20 mails that have been sent to an empty (missing) email address. I’m guessing, but maybe when deleting some old club members the email notification list has not been updated correctly? It looks as if the list of email addresses used to send out notifications is not synchronised with the list of subscribed members. Is there a way to fix this?

I’m currently using WordPress 6.0. bbpress version 2.6.9. bbP private groups 3.9.1. bbp style pack 5.0.5. bbPress Toolkit 1.0.12.

thanks for posting. The site needs access to replicate so cannot be reproduced without.

bbpress does not have a WYSIWYG editor by default, so what code/plugin are you using to get this? I’d suspect your theme may be doing this, and therefore may be creating the problem.

You also have an error in your theme (Use of undefined constant bbp_reply_id ), which is either code you have added to what looks like a parent theme, or an error in the theme itself.

I’d suggest that you prove this by

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 if it is theme contact the theme author as it is a paid theme

[Robin W]

this is because of the ‘notify me of follow up replies via email’, which is actually the same as ‘subscribe’

If the user is not subscribed, then when the page is sent to the browser the page shows ‘subscribe’ as an option and has the ‘notify me’ unticked.

when you click the subscribe, the database is changed, but the box is still left unticked. So on posting a reply, the absence of a tick ‘unsubscribes’ the user that has just subscribed 🙂

It would be possible to create some js to correct this, but beyond free help.

however given that someone replying probably wants to be subscribed :

if you are using or want to use

bbp style pack

go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form>item 6 and set as default

or use:

Reply Subscribed

[cassel]

I would like to add some non-verbal icon reactions for various posts, but looking in WordPress.org, I found this one:

DW Reactions

But it has not been updated in years.

Can someone know whether it would still be stable enough to add, or would have any other recommendation?

[mbisque]

I would like be able to send email notifications to specific people when new topics or replies are posted.

Exactly like what this plug in does:

bbPress Notifications

However, it was last updated 9 years ago.

Is this plug in still in use? Or is there a newer one?

[Milan Petrovic]

I am author of GD bbPress Attachments, and what you see is the message returned by WordPress when uploading. This was not the problem before, but it looks like the upload in WP has changed to recognize duplicated files. I will see if there is a way to handle this in some way in the future.

Regards,

and look at forum visibility

[Chuckie]

Despite attempts to talk to author I had no response. Hope he is ok.

I ended up putting a WordPress poll on my site and did a generic post.

I will end up uninstalling gd topic polls.

[Robin W]

or you can use

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>translations

[Robin W]

2nd issue – put this in your custom css

.archive-description {
display : none ;
} 

3rd issue

bbp style pack

[Robin W]

bbp style pack

We also want it so the “notify me of followup replies” is checked of by default.

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form>item 6

What I’ve been asked to do is customize where it says “Topic” and “Tag” on the topic page.

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>translations

[diannekrause]

Hi,

I apologize if this answer is elsewhere but there is SO much here to search and dig through and much of what I’m finding is too technical for me to understand, especially the things in the documentation I found.

What I’ve been asked to do is customize where it says “Topic” and “Tag” on the topic page. We actually want Topic to say what we’d like them to type there and we’d like “Tag” to actually say “Strategy” where the users can type in a specific strategy we are asking them to learn about (We are an educational PD company and we’re using BBpress in conjunction with the Lifter LMS we’ve built into WordPress). We also want it so the “notify me of followup replies” is checked of by default.

MY own personal knowledge of WordPress is primarily GUI but I’ve done some things in the “customize” area of WordPress with the help of Lifter Support. SO, when things are telling me to deal with .php files (like I see in the documentation), I have no idea what to do.

Is there someone who can tell me how to customize these things? Is there bbPress SUPPORT where I can put in a ticket and get hand-held help like I do with Lifter?

Any and all help is appreciated as I have been asked to do these things that I have no idea how to do.

Thank you!

use this plugin to add a sidebar where you want

Custom Sidebars – Dynamic Sidebar Widget Area Manager

[Robin W]

Private groups

[Robin W]

or this

Wp Post Views – WordPress Post views counter

[Robin W]

got this from a quick google

bbPress Simple View Counts

[Robin W]

you need to learn about css and WordPress themes and about loading other fonts.

Sorry, but too long to start typing explanations, google this stuff

[Robin W]

standard fault finding advice applies viz

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

Not sure if this is Divi related or BB Press related. We have a BB press search function for our Forum which has been fine until recently. However, suddenly only page 1 displays correctly in the search results (first image). The rest of the pages look like the second photo – you have to scroll down to reach the menu which has been corrupted and then the search results are after that (and are displaying correctly. All plugins, themes and WordPress are the latest versions. Hope someone can help (please) …
