it should show the last reply time

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Hidden forums are invisible by default on mydomain.com/forums
How can I hide PRIVATE forums on mydomain.com/forums
I don’t want to change any of the permissions. I access the private forums another way (buddypress groups and individual pages).
-or- alternatively
How do I make mydomain.com/forums only show PUBLIC forums

Hi Robkk,

Thank you for the reply. I’ve tried all the default WordPress themes from Twenty Twelve from Twenty Fifteen and the problem is still there.
I have not edited the role permisssions, no.
Any ideas on what else I can do?

[Robin W]

where is the bbpress.css files located, you should be doing

•The “css” directory contains style sheets that work with the default markup. Copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/css/

[Robin W]

just to jump in here

bbporess 2.5.5
wordpress 4.1.1
Twentyten theme

and no other plugins does not have this issue.

Therefoere it is likely to be a plugin or theme issue

as suggested by Robkk, suggest you

It looks like the code, by default, sends the message to “noreply@” followed by the domain, with all the intended recipients in the BCC field. I end up getting 3-6 bounces per message due to the “delayed” notifications. It thought it would go away after someone (else) had subscribed to the topic, but that is simply not the case.

The code needs to be only slightly more sophisticated:
1.) it should NOT send an email if there are no recipients (because… logic)
2.) the “from” address should be “noreply@<domain>” or otherwise configurable

I’ll see if I can work up a patch if I’ve got sufficient free time (unlikely, but I’ll try). Anybody know the who/how/where of it?

Just tried with default theme of wordpress but nothing
If some one tell me how to remove it from database I will reinstall bbpress but I cand find the tables too.I want to remove bbpress tables for a new fresh Installation But there is nothing about bbpress in my database and the forums with topics are there in site.com/forums

[madvibes]

Hi. I have inherited a site using BBpress and there are some issues with new user registration. The forum settings are to give new registered users a Participant role, and my WP default is Subscriber for new users.

However, when somebody new registers for the forum, they are given full Admin access in wordpress. Obviously not something that is desirable.

I’m running the latest versions of both WP and BB. Please advise!

[Robin W]

Most of the filters are held in the templates that are located as follows :

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/search/template.php

There are two typically filters, one on the final function usually within the ‘return’, and one that mimics wordpress’s ‘before’ filters
from the docs

Near the beginning of many functions we find :

// Parse arguments against default values
    $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
        'before'            => '<ul class=&quot;bbp-forums-list&quot;>',
        'after'             => '',
        'link_before'       => '<li class=&quot;bbp-forum&quot;>',
        'link_after'        => '',
        'count_before'      => ' (',
        'count_after'       => ')',
        'count_sep'         => ', ',
        'separator'         => ', ',
        'forum_id'          => '',
        'show_topic_count'  => true,
        'show_reply_count'  => true,
    ), 'list_forums' );
 

This is a common format throughout bbPress, and indeed is similar to a function used throughout wordpress.

It uses a function called bbp_parse_args to create a filter against all the arguments.

The filter created is in the format bbp_before_ followed by X followed by _parse_args The X is the third argument from the bbp_parse_args function – if you look at the code above you’ll see that it is actually
bbp_parse_args ($args, Array(...), 'list_forums' )

so in the last line we see list forums which is the X above . In practice this is the function without the bbp start bit.

so an array filter for bbp_list_forums is bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args
and for say bbp_get_topic_pagination would be
bbp_before_get_topic_pagination_parse_args

It could be a plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

you can also see if your theme is causing the issue but its probably more of a plugin issue..

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robkk]

create a bbpress.php file and put it in your child theme , the default file bbPress is using has some extra code for post navigation that should be for blog posts.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

you can also use CSS

#bbpress-forums .navigation-post  {
display:none;
}

[Robkk]

switch to a default theme like twentytwelve, twentyfifteen had some minor issues before

2012 is so simple thats why we recommend switching to it for troubleshooting.

other than that have you edited the role permissions somehow before??

this should not be a problem with bbPress , but how you/something you installed changed the default from address that WordPress uses in the mail function.

by default its wordpress@(yoursite)

did you use a function/plugin to change the from address??

Whenever a new user tries to register or login to my site, it just shows a white page with “blocked” written on it.

I am using bbPress forum plugin and have the “Allow anyone to register” checked.

My register page is using the register shotcode and as a login I use the (bbpress) login widget in a sidebar.

I have checked for conflicts by deactivated all plugins but bbpress and switched to the default twentytwelve theme to see if this fixes. Unfortunately with negative results.

Any idea what’s going on?

follow this guide here is part 1

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

part 2 is linked toward the very bottom

but you can create a blank page and have it use the same forum archive slug as you set in settings>forums.

for example create a page called Forums , the end slug should be the default /forums and it should lead you to your forum archive.

an alternative is to use the forum archive shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

[peter-hamilton]

And to find that file you need access to your server.

In your wp-content yhere is a folder called plugins, in there there is a folder called BBpress.
In the bbpress folder is a folder called templates, and in there a folder called default.
In that Default folder is another folder called bbpress, and that is the template folder where you can find the loop-single-reply that you can copy to your child’s bbpress folder

[dealtek]

ok I found css in

templates/default/css/bbpress.css

[Robin W]

ok, this could be lots of things, and part of what you mention is buddypress not bbpress.

so start with

After some investigation, it appears my mailing provider (SendGrid) warns against using “noreply@yourdomain.com” as the sending email for many reasons and will drop your email if you do so. Apparently I missed this important point while setting up the service. I looked though the logs and found a bunch of these:

No wonder no one was getting their notifications!

Temporary fix (Warning! Hacking core files is bad, this is only for the desperate, like me, and will break as soon as you update the plugin):

“noreply@…” This is the default that bbPress uses to send its notifications from. I simply created a new email for the forums, “forums@mydomain.com” and set that as the “noreply” email address in bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on lines 1065 and 1205. everything is working fine now. I realize this might not be the solution for everyone as other people in this thread might not be having the same issues as me, and it is certainly not a permanent fix, but at least next week or so the users on my site will be receiving their emails while I investigate this further.
