Hey,
My plugin GD Topic Prefix Pro allows you to define various prefixes for topics (it can be used for support purposes) – each prefix in a different color, allowing you to mark topics differently based on the type of question. And my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has additional icons displayed for topics, including an icon showing that the topic is closed.
bbPress topic form allows you to change the topic status to closed. My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro allows you to mark the topic closed via reply: you reply to the topic and that reply signals that the topic is now closed (using the checkbox). If you need to do bulk edit of topics in the front end, I have free plugin GD Forum Manager to do just that.
All these plugins can be used to improve the bbPress role of the support forum. Check out my bbPress plugins here: https://bbpress.dev4press.com/.

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?
Hi @robin-w, just jumping on this thread as it is the same topic.
I installed your bbpress style back a few days ago and it is up on my website. However, I can’t seem to figure out where to put the shortcodes to make them work. Do I need to put them in the files themselves or can I put them on in the page content? When I have tried to use the shortcode to force login on the forum index page for non-members (by putting it in the page content section), I get an error message that the “response received is not a valid JSON file.”
Many thanks for all your hard work on this!
In the right sidebar of the Forum Edit page, under Forum Attributes, I select a parent forum from the list. After pressing Update, the field switches back to -No parent-.
I cannot replicate this – forum parents are saved and can be switched back and forth.
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

Then come back
Hi there,
I want to import 150 users to my forum and subscribe them to a new “test” forum topic in order to check if the email notification is working (it stops after sending 100 emails).
In order to do this, I use the plugin “import and export users and customers” to import a list of made-up users (username and email are all that is needed for columns in CSV file).
Then I create a new “test” forum.
Now I want to subscribe them all to this forum topic programmatically via MySQL.
The issue is, I have looked at the SQL table and the only data that I can find on user subscriptions is the wp_usermeta where meta_key = 'wp__bbp_forum_subscriptions'. The meta_value shows the ID of the forum that users are subscribed to.
The issue is that it seems to be no longer working. Is it a meta_value that BBpress no longer uses? If so, which one is used?
If I take a random subscribed user (ID=17248) and check what they are subscribed to, the following query works: select * from wp_usermeta where meta_key = 'wp__bbp_forum_subscriptions' and user_id = 17248;. I can then see a list in the meta_value table of what they are subscribed to. But if I then (using the BBp Toolkit plugin) alter their subscriptions and e.g. unsubscribe them from a topic, go back to the DB and do the same query, it shows the same forum subscription IDs, even though there should be one less.
Could you point me in the right direction of which table to query to alter the forum topic ids of a user please?
In the right sidebar of the Forum Edit page, under Forum Attributes, I select a parent forum from the list. After pressing Update, the field switches back to -No parent-.
I tried to copy an existing subforum from the same parent with PA Duplicate but no copy is created.
No error messages.
What can I do?
Wordpress 5.5.1.
bbPress 2.6.5.
PHP: 7.3.20

Hey guys,
I installed Bbpress on one of my multisites and i have used a plugin to allow users to register tto resgister rather than allowing registrations at the network level.
I have used the bbpress shortcodes for the registration page and the login page however when i test registering as a new user it redirects me to a local-signup page which i assume is happening due to it being a multisite? Is there any way to have only one form that meeds to be filled in? Do i need a user and registration plugin?
The main issue i have is that qhen i do complete the registration process thw new user reveives no email…
I then added a plugin for Smtp, configured it and it works in itself but not diffrrence to the bbpress registration process.
Not sure how to fix the issue, i also tried allowing users to register at a network level but made no difference?
Do i need to add somethinking like the Ultimate user registrations plugin or wp forms? Will that make a difference?
Im ising using latest version of wp and bbpress on my site…
Hi,
i installed bbpress on my wordpress then i started db migration. i gave all informations about db and chose “vbulletin” but it didn’t work. I’ve read a few posts on this subject but no answer. Does the migration tool work? thanks
2 months ago it worked OK, because threaded replies on BBpress was enabled
yesterday/today I have turned it off, only then when I have noticed it
no – with threaded replies plugin deactivated and threaded replies (TR) turned off it should work.
I presume it worked 2 months ago?
I also have no idea how bbpress does replies that have previously been threaded and now TR has been turned off. might that be the issue?
hi, no, I had to turn off threaded replies feature of BBpress and therefore the plugin
as some users were complaining đ
it was difficult for them to find recent replies in topics where there were 50 or more replies..
do you think I should turn the plugin back on?
It’s still returning null, no output whatsoever. I even print_r($subs) inside the while loop and nothing shows up, I’m using the latest versions of bbpress and wordpress, the theme is a blank starter theme with only bbpress plugin activated
âbbPress 2.6.5 is out!â is a topic not a forum.
so you have a forum called forum rules and if you click that, then yes, users will need to click the forum to see the topic.
Hi
Got a problem with my forum
If I compare my forum with the one HERE.
For example, I created a forum with âForum Rulesâ. Made the SuperStiky post.
If I click on âForum Rulesâ on the main forum page, first I come to a kind of superordinate category. I have to click on it first to see what has been written.
This is not the case here in the forum. I click e.g. to âbbPress 2.6.5 is out!â and immediately see what has been written.
Why is that?
wow, could be many of these or combination of them or your theme
The best I can suggest is
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

ok, thanks for sending that – I had something set that was not giving me that on my test site – now I can match your process, but i do not get the error.
what other bbpress related plugins are you running ?
I’m referring to what is referenced this – https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/forum-moderation/common-tasks/
In the frontend
Log into your site and go to your forums on your site
If you need to delete a topic, go into the topic and hit the Trash Admin Link to put the topic into the trash.
Now you will see that the trash link has turned to the Delete Admin Link , and from there you can click Delete to delete the topic permanently.
So once you click trash it turns red and then the link changes to delete which is “empty trash” for that one item
I use “bbPress Do Short Codes” plugin
maybe it will help
bbpress sends out emails as a single email, with the recipients BCC’d in.
Many sending email servers see this as spam, and block.
Intermediate mail servers can have the same attitude (eg gmail hotmail) so cut out those they see as spam
Client firewalls frequently have an email component that will also filter perceived spam.
Finally receiving email clients often see bcc as spam, so put them in the junk mail.
This could explain why some are receiving and others not – depends on their mail server and mail client !
Basically email is a fight between trying to get valid emails tjrough and stopping spam, and computer algorithms are frankly crap at this.
sending them asynchronously can help a lot in getting then through
AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions
I’m reading mixed complaints within our forum from those who choose to subscribe to certain topics to receive emails for new replies.
Some say they are receiving emails, some say they’re only receiving them here and there, others are not receiving them at all. I’ve also been reading that some are receiving administrative emails but not emails for new replies in topics.
Our client’s users rely on their email notifications, unfortunately, so I’ve been in the search for a more reliable fix. Any suggestions?
For reference, I am using the WP Mail SMTP plugin that is linked to a paid SMTP.com account. So, in theory, the SMTP should be letting the users receive these emails, no?
Any tests I run on my end have been successful, using a Subscriber, Editor, and Admin user roles. I have also mentioned spam and phishing folders as well as whitelisting but users have done these things and are still experiencing issues.
Any help in solving this would be appreciated!
I’m currently using bbPress version 2.6.5 with the Kleo theme.
ok, I cannot say why it is not displaying.
so you just have bbpress, not any other bbpress related plugins ?
and read https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-remove-default-bbpress-login/
that should work, it might be that another plugin is overriding this.
what other bbpress related plugins do you have ?
