I’d appreciate some advice, please. Is this the correct place to request bbPress support? My forums are down and I am hoping to get some help to get them back up without impacting my WP installation. Thanks!

I have put the bbpress css files inside my child theme folder

themes/mytheme-child/bbpress-child/bbpress.css

This morning, my site, thecardinalnation.com was presenting 500 errors to all visitors. After three hours with support from my hosting provider, HostGator, they were able to isolate the problem to the bbPress plugin, which is now disabled. Obviously, my forums are down, but the base site is again available.

HG Level 2 support provided the following, which they said indicates that bbPress is trying to pull from PHP 5.4, although the site is now on 7.0. (The site was on 5.4 to start the day, but it was upgraded to 7.0 as part of their trouble-shooting.) HG also said that the 500 error problem would remain even if we took PHP back to 5.4.

The site is current on all code:
Wordpress 4.9.8
bbPress 2.5.14

I am not an IT professional, but will do my best to get any additional information as required. Thank you in advance.

Got to make a change in a website(can’t include it) and it uses bbpress. I’m relatively new to wp also, sorry for the trouble.

The /forums route is being added to the nav bar and it’s configured correctly to be accessed but for some reason only the /forums route is not including a correct header/checking if there is a user logged in. How or where could I configure this.

I’m creating a wordpress site for the leader of a gaming guild, and the theme he selected doesn’t show up good for bbpress. I was hoping theres a way to access bbpress forums without going through wordpress theme

Hi there,
I want to do a test mailing in my staging area, to see if a new WP plugin works for BBpress. In order to do this, i want to change all emails to my personal email address for all that are subscribed to the forum (so i don’t accidentally send out mails to real users,(this has actually happened to me before)). The problem is that the WP user_email is found in the DB wp_users and the forum meta info is found in the DB wp_usermeta. What SQL statement would i use if i wanted to change the email of all bbpress “Participants” to “myemail@email.com”. I want to do something like:
UPDATE wp_users SET user_email = "myemail@email.com" WHERE wp_usermeta.meta_key = "participant";

[Robin W]

ummm…. AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions changes from bbpress one email and bcc to send lots of single emails, so you have moved to the system that your server doesn’t like.

Email providers stopping lots of emails is why bbpress moved to a single email with bcc, although now many email providers are stopping that, so it’s really hard to know what to do.

code to send in sets would be complicated

Hi there,
I recently discovered that there is a limit set on our server of 100 emails being sent out at one time.
Some of our forums have more than 100 subscribers, which means that not all are getting notifications when something new is posted.
Is there a way to set up batches, so that e.g. 50 go out and then 50 again in 10 mins etc until the full list of emails have been covered?
btw, I am using the AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions plugin

Hi!
I am new to bbpress but try to build up a members only forum, so all forums are marked private or hidden. When a not logged in user visits the forum a message like “Sorry! No forum found!” is shown.
Is it possible to be more accurate and display e.g. “Sorry! You have to login or register to proceed” when a forum exists but is hidden?
Thanks for your time!

[lookingahead]

Oh wow — I figured it out, nm!! 🙂

You can do it via CSS….like this:

#group-admins {
  pointer-events: none;
  cursor: default;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: black;
}

And in bbPress apparently that is the correct way to write that code; the #group-admins part will likely work for everyone, just as it is, because it appears to be the default name for that.

Whew!

[lookingahead]

@robin-w turns out it was a BuddyPress issue. 🙂

in the BuddyPress forums, an admin there posted this fix — and it worked!

here’s what they said:

Hi,

This is hardcoded in bbpress plugin here bbpress\includes\extend\buddypress\groups.php.

Find the line $this->slug = ‘forum’; but I think changing this may create some issues but you can check if it works fine for you or not. Also changing anything in core file is never recommended because on the next update you will lose it and then have to redo again.

One recommendation is that always take a backup of your site when you are doing such core changes.

Thanks

i hate editing in the core files, but….well, this was a last resort that apparently has no other solution for now. i’ll keep looking though, and update my files in a better way if any alternative comes up.

HELP: WP 4.9.8; bbPress 2.5.15; site: azor.vip

Hello, I am a senior citizen noob building a one-off site. I wish to post admin questions from my backend what will appear live on my site.

I have written my post and clicked on Published. Nothing happens. Some time ago when I asked this same question, I was told to do something with shortcodes. I became frustrated because I don’t know what a shortcode is, where I find it, and what I do with it. So I am re-visiting my original question.

I would be very grateful if you could give me some steps.

[blackandbluebird]

Hello. I have successfully edited all breadcrumbs on the Forums and Topics pages, but have been unable to edit the breadcrumbs on the bbPress generated user profile page. Currently, the page title reads “Edit profile for User: testname” and the breadcrumb reads “You are here: Home”

I want to edit that breadcrumb to read “You are here: Home > Forums > Profile”

Any insights? Thanks!

Emails are notoriously difficult to fault find, as so much is beyond the website.

So start with

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 setting/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. Different email providers have different rules, so an email to fred @aol.com may be treated differently than fred @google.com if google and aol have different rules as the email passes through their servers, so some may get through and others not.
3. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/
4. Some people have fixed it with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

[Robin W]

I meant test with just bbpress, so eliminating toolkit, which you have done.

If it was working, and now is not, then something has changed with that account.

So first, I suggest you go though the settings for the working and not working user and check any differences

[Robin W]

ok, so does just bbpress (ie disable bbp toolkit) get the same response

[maksanse]

Hi ! I encounter since a few days a strange and very annoying issue :

When I am logged in as an admin to my bbpress forum, the editing toolbar does not appear :
NOT WORKING

But when I log in with a subscriber account, I see it correctly :
WORKING

I got the same issue with Twenty Fifteen theme from wordpress. So I thought it was a matter of plugin.

I deactivated all the plugins excepted bbpress & bbpress Toolkit and I still have the same issue.

So : The problem occurs on Chrome, Safari & Chrome for iOS

– it seems not to be an issue of theme,
– it seems not to be an issue of plugin compatibility,
– it’s not an issue of css either… (the editor elements just don’t appear in DOM)
– it seems not to be an issue of bbpress version (I tried to revert to version 2.5.13 and it still doesn’t work)

I am a little bit confused… Can you please help me ?

Best regards

[Robin W]

oh, and take a look at this thread

BBpress: Registration mails fail

[Robin W]

bbpress just users wordpress login, so not really a bbpress issue.

I can only suggest you either post in the wordpress support forum, or the easy WP SMTP forum

[Hitesh Chandwani]

Try following plugin to add google reCAPTCHA on your bbPress forum. Option to enable/disable for logged-in users.

@robin-w oh, i used a string modifier to change ‘forum’ to ‘discussion’ — that is how i got the tabs in buddypress groups to say ‘discussion’ versus ‘forum’

i’ll go back and modify it to say ‘chat’ later, but for now many things in the site that used to say ‘forum’ say ‘discussion’….because i can change that at-will and it’s not causing conflicts, i’ve not updated it yet to say ‘chat.’

the problem that is currently unmovable though is the group forum slug name; it still says ‘forum’ at the end of all buddypress groups. that was unaffected by the string modifier, and is apparently hard-coded.

i went to the wp_options table and it does currently say ‘chat’…..sooooo…….apparently that setting is not being used in buddypress when it creates group forum slugs. it is defaulting to ‘forum’ no matter what i do.

is there another place within bbpress where the instructions on how to create a slug for any type of forum whatsoever is listed…even ‘hard-coded’ as a default setting?

[Martin J]

On the home of the forum, I have categories with sub forums in them, but need to change the layout to be 2 columns instead of comma separated forums. What file can I add to my theme to override this? bbPress has a crazy common between the <li> tags and drives me nuts because you can’t remove that using css.
