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!
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!
@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.
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/
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
ok, so does just bbpress (ie disable bbp toolkit) get the same response
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
oh, and take a look at this thread
BBpress: Registration mails fail
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

@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?
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.
@robin-w oh no worries on this being a ‘new’ thing for you to hear — as someone who does not work with buddypress like yourself you’re never going to hear this. it’s because it is a way that bbpress sends information to buddypress when buddypress pulls info from bbpress into it, when it uses bbpress programming to create ‘group forums.’
it’s not a bug; it’s how the interface between bbpress and buddypress works.
at least, that’s what i’m gathering now, after reading other people’s posts with the same issue in forums all over the web.
so my question to you now: what is the file that bbpress uses to say what the slug is — the URL name, which in this case is just ‘forum’….not ‘forums’ but ‘forum’ — so i can alter that?
i HHAAAATE altering core files, but in this case it’s likely needed.
whatever ‘default URL/slug’ command is used when buddypress pulls in forum creation/function into bbpress……chances are, that is the file i will (gulp!) need to modify.
i’m guessing that the same code/file is used to be the ‘default slug name’ in bbpress. which is….’forum’
what file does that? creates a default ‘forum’ in the URL/slug when a forum is created?
what is confusing me is that in
dashboard>settings>forums>single forum slug you have
discussion where I have forum, and it is this slug that is the extra one showing in the url.
Why you have discussion, I have no idea, I have not seen this before
all I can suggest is that it could be a theme or plugin issue issue, so you’ll need to test to find out which
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
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.
and see what is setting this to discussion
Then come back
Oh, how can I get rid of the search function in the admin bar?
Don’t have the admin bar – it is horrible and breaks away from your theme, bbpress has profile edit which let the user access their profile.
There are plenty of plugins to hide the admin bar
https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/search/admin+bar/ lists lots
Forgot to provide the URLs.

what version of bbpress are you using ?
‘closed’ in bbpress just means that the area cannot have new things added.
If you want to have an old forum that is not seen by users, then make it hidden.
So how does one exclude the “closed” forums from bbpress search?
Thanks
That is indeed it, thanks! So I was barking the wrong tree, nothing wrong with WordPress being able to access bbPress.
Where should one look for bbPress function documentation these days? I notice that I have difficulties finding information, and when I do find something, figuring out if the functions are for bbPress 1, bbPress 2, or BuddyPress is sometimes difficult. There is some sort of a list here but bbp_get_topic_tag_names() is not included, among others.
bbpress uses wordpress login, so they only need to login once.
