bbpress uses wordpress registration, so this is probably not a bbpress issue.

As a final check, go into http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php and test that registration also fails there

Then I suggest you contact your host provider to help – as it is possibly a site configuarion/email issue.

It could be a theme or 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.

Themes

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

Then come back

bbpress just uses wordpress registration, 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 settings>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. Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

Hello,

I have a problem with bbpress, my member after creating a discussion can not edit this topic again! Please support me. Thanks very much.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

any suggestion how to hide the members in bbPress from being listed to all other members? This is a data protection issue. One should be able to be a registered member without being exposed to all others.

Hi BBPress experts,
This my first post here. I have created a cool forum using BBPress. It’s working fine. But I am having an issue. In my forum homepage all the user avatars are not scaled properly. They are really large like the images of profile page. How can I set set scaled image in 14X14 ?

@Stephen Edgar, this plugin still works very nicely and flawlessly (in my Genesis theme), I am presently in the process of converting my website articles to bbpress…out of 400 posts I have so far converted 200 into bbpress…I have also applied some CSS to bbpress to make sure the “bbpres posts” wrap around the author name and is able to show full width, instead of showing only 50% in mobile devices.

The only problem with the plugin is that it does not have a bulk convert feature, and i have go to each and every post for the migrations.

[makingcircuits]

According to me “Responsive Theme” is the best theme for any forum based site, there are so many very useful SEO friendly options which normally other popular themes do not have.

One of them is Last updated date…and special bbpress theme layouts

I know this topic is very old, but is the most recent i found about this argument.

I need different colors for authors link ( topic and replys) .

I solved using the filters bbp_get_reply_author_link and bbp_get_topic_author_link in function.php of my child theme.

I changed the class $link_class in $author_link, you can found the original code in bbpress/includes/topics/template.php and bbpress/includes/reply/template.php.

This is the complete code in my function.php child’s theme:

//custom color LINK AUTHOR roles
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_link', 'addrole_reply_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_link', 'addrole_topic_author_links', 10, 2);
function addrole_topic_author_links($author_link, $args) {
// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'post_id'    => 0,
			'link_title' => '',
			'type'       => 'both',
			'size'       => 80,
			'sep'        => ' ',
			'show_role'  => false
		), 'get_topic_author_link' );

		// Used as topic_id
		if ( is_numeric( $args ) ) {
			$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $args );
		} else {
			$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $r['post_id'] );
		}

		// Topic ID is good
		if ( !empty( $topic_id ) ) {

			// Get some useful topic information
			$author_url = bbp_get_topic_author_url( $topic_id );
			$anonymous  = bbp_is_topic_anonymous( $topic_id );

			// Tweak link title if empty
			if ( empty( $r['link_title'] ) ) {

Then you have to add the CSS to the new class added to author’s link.

Hope will be useful,

This is an extension to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-like-reply-notification/#post-191588

There is a limitation of BBpress when you have a forum and try to send reply notifications to the users.

I will illustrate this in an example:

New thread timeline:

1. post_1_author_A_topic_start
2. post_2_author_B
3. post_3_author_C_reply_to_post_1
4. post_4_author_D_reply_to_post_2

What my program does (let’s see it as a blackbox):

User A is notified that B (!) and C replied to his post.
User B is notified that user D replied to this post.

The wrong notification is that User A is notified that B commented on this post. However, B never pressed on BBpress reply to A.

The problem:
How to differentiate between
2. post_2_author_B
3. post_3_author_C_reply_to_post_1

You cannot do it by looking to the tables wp_posts and wp_postmeta.
Explanation:

In wp_posts, the only difference between 2. (false reply) and 3. (the real reply) is the menu_order column. And this seems to be used just for the time order of posting. So not enough data to see the different between 2. and 3.

Now let’s take a look on wp_postmeta. 4. is a reply to 2.
SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id = “4”

4
_bbp_topic_id
1

4
_bbp_reply_to
2

So, in the case of a standard reply (such as 4.) _bbp_reply_to helps you identify the parent.

However, this is not the case of 2. and 3. wrt 1.

SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id = “2”

2
_bbp_topic_id
1

SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id = “3”

3
_bbp_topic_id
1

_bbp_reply_to doesn’t appear anymore.

So we cannot differentiate 2. and 3.

The only difference is the reply button , but this information is not registered in the DB.

Neither extra categorization (adding extra layer to the BB forum) won’t solve the problem.

Is there any way to differentiate 2. from 3. ?

they go to their profile – click their name link on any bbpress page

[erich199]

Hi @netweb,
Thanks for the reply. I have seen this plugin before but it doesn’t have the ability to add a custom role. I was just making the suggestion that the ability to create and edit new roles and capabilities be an out of the box feature of bbpress.

[isiway]

Good evening from Germany!
I am new to bbpress but I migrated a huge type3-mmxforum https://www.porsche-diesel-classic.de/pdce-forum/

to bbpress – that was a lot of work …

Anyway: when searching with NO result the system does NOT show something like
–> “No results found”,

it is going to a “blank” page (with header and footer, but no content).
Is this an issue of the template? What can I do, any suggestions?

Thank you and kind regards,
Carola

Hello,

I made an analysis on the existing user profile avatar / photo and I couldn’t find one that is free and works for my experimental forum. For sure there is a setting problem in my project, but I cannot find it. There are is not very useful conversation in the console (we will extend the discussion here if required).

Here is the list:

1. Avatar Manager there is the upload button, select the picture but nothing is uploaded

2. WP User Avatars there is the upload button, select the picture but nothing is uploaded

3. Basic User Avatars there is the upload button, select the picture but nothing is uploaded

Maybe for these 3 there is a settings that prevents uploading?

4. Simple Local Avatars http://…/wordpress/forums/users/…/edit/ doesn’t load anymore

It break somehow the bbpress.

5. Simple User Avatar the select (upload) button does not work

6. User Photo the plugin activate button does not work

7. WP Custom Avatar maybe its not compatible with bbPress, doesn’t appear at http://…/wordpress/forums/users/…/edit/

8. User Profile Picture maybe its not compatible with bbPress, doesn’t appear at http://…/wordpress/forums/users/…/edit/

9. WP User Avatar the option is not free for bbpress, maybe it works fine

10. User registration & user profile – Profile Builder il avem deja the option is not free for bbpress, maybe it works fine

What are your suggestions on this?

Please reply if you have some experience with one of the plugins.

Thank you !

Hello!

May I ask if this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/ will work correctly despite not being updated with new WP version?
Or, maybe is there another plugin/way to do the same as this plugin do?
Thanks in advance.

I can create a page with a single forum using the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=19743] but I also want it this particular forum not to be seen in the main forum index where I use the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
Is this possible?
Is there another way of achieving the same effect?

I have:
Wordpress version 4.9.5
BBPress Version 1.4.1
main Forum page
specific forum page

[mtclmbr]

Wondering if there are any suggestions on where to start looking or what to do. Not sure if this is at all related to the below issue or not. But I have not looked once yet at the bbpress code to see if I can figure anything out myself so if there is any suggestions or pointers that would be great. This is currently the biggest pet peeve out there with our forums that our users always mention.

Topics with +1000 replies do not add page numbers to reply permalinks

Hi!! I want to use hashtags in my websit forum. I have found some plugins but they are not tested for the latest versions of wordpress.Is there any new plugins for including hashtags and @usernames to my forum.Thanks in advance:)

if you google ‘WP Super Cache bbpress’ you’ll find lots of help – including how to disable bbpress for supercache

WordPress Dashboard
> Settings
> WP Super Cache
> Advanced tab
> Scroll down to “Accepted Filenames & Rejected URI’s”

> Add here strings (not a filename) …

I found the following entries in that text box:

wp-.*.php

index.php

I added:

/forums/

(My bbPress application is installed under my WordPress directory in the /forums sub-directory).

Now all URL’s that include the string “/forums/” are ignored in terms of caching.

which sound like what you may need

[flololan]

Hi so I’ve got a problem with a forum. It’s not my first one but the first time i’ve got that problem. When I post something/ create a Topic etc. it is not being shown. only after a long time (like a day or so) it will show the changes. i guess it is a problem with the cache but I can’t figure out what. clearing the cache doesn’t help and even if it would… i mean who clears his cache after each post of every user…

WordPress 4.9.5
bbPress Version 2.5.14
WP Super Cache Version 1.5.9

Hello,

Sometimes when some of my bbpress pages render, they render with bbpress code above everything else in the source (even the doctype!). It breaks the page and a user needs to refresh to see the page correctly.

For example:

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	
	<div id="bbp-user-wrapper">
		
	
	<div id="bbp-single-user-details">
		<div id="bbp-user-avatar">

			<span class='vcard'>
				<a class="url fn n" href="http://example.com/forums/users/firstname-lastname/" title="firstname-lastname" rel="me">
					<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if lt IE 7]>      <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7" lang="en-US" xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"> <![endif]-->

This doesn’t happen consistently. Does anyone have idea what might be causing this?

[richardt111]

Hi there! Im so confused and stuck. I see so many websites using bbpress forums and have awesome and simple login and register pages all on frontend. How can I do this? Any plugins that could help?? Would love for users to just be able to login on my menu or on sidebar at the forum. Thanks!!!
