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 ?

@lruzza -great glad it works
Maintenance can be nothing or major – that’s the problem when one plugin is changing another – we are reliant on what – in this instance – bbpress does. If they don’t change the template that this hooks to or the function that is behind it – then nothing will be needed. I can’t see any WordPress updates affecting it as these are stable.
Anyway I’ll look to add to style pack as a big fix – that way if bbpress fixes it it is a tick box to remove
Where would I put my bbpress-functions.php file, as I don’t seem to currently have one? Would this go in theme root?
Hi
Has anyone recreated the bbpress theme – with “mobile first” principle?
right now in the default bbpress theme is using max-width
while it looks like all new modern WordPress themes are now doing min-width
thanks

http://www.levelupcoach.net (specifically the Member Forums option in the main menu at the top)
bbPress Version 2.6.5
I’m in Dashboard> bbPress Members Only> Optional Settings.
I checked the top box and then realized I couldn’t get to my forums via my main menu anymore, due to the hashtag.
I removed the check mark and saved the changes, but now it won’t fix itself. I can’t get the link to work anymore. It just sticks a hashtag in front of it.
HELP.
@xprojectsx good contribution – and I don’t think there is a perfect solution. I am Never quite sure what people expect from ‘community’ software. As an author of 6 plugins, the thought that when releasing these as free code for others to use and adapt, I am expected to respond to every query on the code for evermore, would make me never do it. I enjoy the challenge of support, but there will come a time when I tire of doing this for no money, and expectation that I fix issues I had not considered and that I had never planned only strengthens this. Bbpress was written as lite forum software, allowing others to extend it. It started over 15 years ago as a geek who like writing code (as I do). Then is response to requests it was added as a plugin to WordPress. The authors have I suspect many other priorities now in their lives, they are 15 years older. Their choices are 1. To close the plugin, and make many forums redundant. 2. To devote vast chunks of their free time to continue supporting 3. To do key code as their time permits 4. Just to hope that other people do this for free.
Against this there are paid products, but yes they cost or are used (I think quite justifiably) as a sales tool to produce income to pay the developers. Someone has to pay the bills.
Hi, I’m curious what plugin you are considering to switch to? I’ve purchased and tested several including trying to get “support” from commercial options, and have not found a very good/comprehensive forum solution with good support. The best forum for wp that I found was simple press but they were bought out a few years ago and since then the support is terrible. Any question will be answered with a pitch to get you to hire them to customize. Before that I tried wpforo but it is lacking a lot of features especially on the admin side and I had problems communicating with their support.
There just does not seem to exist such a plugin for wordpress that has both good support (either commercial or community) and comprehensive features needed to run an active forum. (I’ve used a bunch of non wp forums such as vb, phpbb, smf etc)
I’ve come to the conclusion that if you have to use WP and need a forum with comprehensive features and administration tools, then bbpress is the best option and you may need to hire a developer to get it to do what you need. The next option would be a non-wp forum that you could bridge. But again, if you have a legitimate WP forum plugin option to consider, I’d love to hear it.
Hello Robin,
Thank you for the help you offer.
I tried the code in the child theme’s function file and it works fine to re-order the replies… BUT I have 3 issues :
– The link given in the recent activity widget leads to the last page of the topic… now being the beginning, so not the last reply
– Same problem for the link in the email notification
– and when we post a reply, the page refresh leads to the beginning of the topic too so you don’t see you answer published unless you click on the right page number or scroll back to the top.
These 3 situations imply too much confusion for the users so I choose to not use the code but don’t find another solution.
I’m surprised no plugin exists for this ( part from “bbPress – Sort topic replies ” which is not maintained so I didn’t try it worried to get security problems).
Do you think of a way to fit the issues generated with the descending order or do you consider it is too much of “torsion” of the system ?
Thanks again.
Sophie
Hello to everyone. I made a timeline for Bbpress. My homepage became like twitter. What do you think about my site? mimarlik forumu
BUMP!
I’ve tried a few other linked resolutions within this support forum as well as other tickets and still no solution.
Would love some help with anyone else who has had it fixed for bbpress version 2.6.5
I’m having trouble getting shortcodes for a picture gallery to work in topics. Did some looking around here and it seems I may need a shortcode plug in and also possibly a shortcode whitelist plugin to go with it. I looked at this one bbPress2 shortcode whitelist, but it is a bit old and hasn’t been tested with 5.5.1. I’m running 7.4.10 PHP, LiteSpeed webserver, 2.6.5 bbpress.
The shortcode for a photo gallery shows up in the post as text but that is all. https://transmissiontuner.com/blog/forums/topic/allison-bellhousing-types/
I asked for support on this from the photogallery plugin and they said it was a bbpress problem.
thanks!
Hi Robin, sorry for the delay. I only had my phone available, but will try to find a PC as soon as I can. On my phone (which I hadn’t accessed to this site before) appears to also show that it’s not spanning the full width, though it’s harder to see since it’s a minimized viewport to begin with. 🙂
Hopefully, you can see what I mean here, though?
Hi, I solved this problem by adding this to my bbpress-functions.php
add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );
The problem is that bbpress is sending the posts to moderation but it doesn’t show any advice to the user or admins. I don’t know why 🤷♂️
Hope it helps
I suspect that 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
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
Yes! Holy smokes, thank you, Robin! That worked like a charm 🙂 I do have access to FTP and my child theme, but I’m happy with these results (unless it’s better that it’s in the files instead?).
Is there any way to redistribute the content now along the full length of the row to take up the space of the missing column? I guess the column is still there, just has hidden content, so maybe this isn’t possible. Here’s what I mean:
Yes, I’m inserting the shortcode, but when editing the topic, bbpress converts the shortcode to HTML, see the images, I don’t know why that happens.
um…that’s what shortcodes are for ???
if you just want the shortcode displayed without bbpress interpreting it, then use the ‘code’
eg
[model_viewer ID'...']
Hi Robin W.
This solution allow Model Viewer Tag, but bbpress editor keeps converting my shortcode to html, how to solve this?
Thanks.
