Hi Pascal,
Guess what, all is working now even after I reenabled “bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.10”. I am stunned. What was the 4 days of agony for, I don’t know.
Speaking of cache issue, I was wondering about that. I installed “WP Super Cache – Clear all cache” in early dev but I don’t think it has ever worked. Do you have any recommendation?
I have one remaining issue:
The subscriber who clicked Forum Subscribe only gets notification on new Topic creation but not Replies. Subscribers have to subscribe to each topics in order to receive notification on replies. On top of that, “bbP Manage Subscriptions” plugin only controls at the Forum level but no the Topic level.
I need subscribers who subscribed to a Forum gets notification on all the replies within its Forum. Is this possible with some plug-in? I can’t find any.
And then I need subscribers gets notification of Topic updates, like when announcement was updated. Is it possible?
Hi,
I have bbpress installed and I’m using it having forums inside a group. My problem is that the title of a single topics seems like “Group | Webpage”. How can I like this forums? To show: “This is a topic | Webpage” or “This is a topic | Group | Webpage”
Thank you 🙂
Several months ago I tried to import a phpbb 3.1 forum into bbpress. Sadly it didn’t work. It was frustrating because the description says it works. It would be very beneficial to have version numbers and dates associated with anything associated with bbpress, including importers. Otherwise it’s a constant source of frustration downloading, trying, failing. No need to have done so in the first place if the version number was already a part. Thanks for the consideration.
Does this not mean that there is an issue with bbpress?
bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly
It’s somewhere a cache issue or so !
So for me if it worked, there might be a conflict between bbPress Notify and async. Can you try to deactivate one and then other for a longer period ?

Hello!
I’m using bbPress 2.5.8 with theme Twenty Sixteen (WP 4.4.2). Accidentally I noticed, that when viewing topic on a devices with small screen (less than 414×736) all of the author avatars are sliding to the upper left. Here is a screenshot: 
I tried to install bbPress on a fresh WP install and the avatar does not seems to slide, when viewing in small screens. So, I deactivated all the plugins, removed all known theme modifications, css styles, but avatar is still misplaced.
Here is a link to the test topic: http://rugby-forum.ru/wp2/forums/topic/test/ Can you please, take a look and guess what may be wrong here and how to fix this?
Thank you in advance!
As these are not coming from bbPress, I don’t think i can help you here, sorry.
Please see what other plugins you might have.
Pascal.
I have a somewhat similar problem. I have an English site, but want to run a Dutch forum on it. Hence, changing the site’s general settings is no option for me.
I’ve uploaded Dutch bbpress-nl_NL.mo and bbpress-nl_NL.po files into the folder wp-content/languages/plugins (and there I removed the original en_GB files). I also tried making a wp-content/languages/bbpress folder with the language files, but failed to resolve the problem (which basically is that when Dutch forum participants type in text all of their words get marked with red underlining as if they are not knowing how to write).
I would very much appreciate some help here.
The site is called HenHub, and one of the (test) fora is called Facilitators.
Many thanks in advance!
So I thought: I have a MS installation, why not put the forums into their own subsite (subdomain). Noone will notice if I use the same theme and let the menus crosslink the sites. (Except those who actually look at the URL.)
My question is: Would you do that, too? Because it seems, people in these support forums only ever try to migrate their forums into their blog install, not the other way round. Which, as I would expect, would make things much slower on their end.
You can do that. You do not have to run a blog and forum on the same site. You can just use WordPress for content management on your bbPress forum only sub site.
@bethannon1
You can put this bbPress default themes CSS from the plugin into a folder called css in your child theme and edit the css file to your liking.

Hi, its WP-Mail-SMTP.
My understanding was that bbPress sends notification to noreply@mydomain.com with bunch of BCCs, that will be blocked everywhere, and I thought I needed async plugin to remedy issue, no?
I have something new here. When I disabled bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.10, well not exactly. When I disabled bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.10 then enable it then disable it again yesterday, the notification did work the rest of the day. I went to bed in peace. Then this morning it stopped working again.
In my mail log, I see notification went out to subscribers upon reply. Today, the only entries I see is non-BBP notification even though I see now topic was created and replies were made. Quite frustrating 🙁
Hi,
I have bbpress with buddypress and when someone post in the forum, its shows in the activity steam. It is very weird when the reply is very long so I would like to set a exceprt o forums reply in buddypress activity.
Thank you 🙂
Hi Pascal! Thanks for your quick reply!
Unfortunately, no — these forums are locked down to only approved users.
The CSS is in /plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css, line 896:
/* =Stickies
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
.bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky,
.bbp-topics ul.super-sticky,
.bbp-topics ul.sticky,
.bbp-forum-content ul.sticky {
background-color: #ffffe0 !important;
font-size: 1.1em;
}
I need to change that background color. But I’m not a CSS ninja, and I’m not sure how to override that !important from the default plugin CSS. This is when adding a 2nd !important to trump the first would be handy. 🙂
Hi,
Is this a public site ? If you could post a link and tell us what you want to change exactly, we could have a look. I suppose it’s not bbPress that has the !important ?
Pascal.
Hi, you see this message because your debug is on. This specific message is not a real a minor issue, but it could mean you have somewhere access control issues.
See https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_setup_current_user/was-called-incorrectly/
Pascal.
I need to override the default CSS color for
.bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky, .bbp-topics ul.super-sticky, .bbp-topics ul.sticky, .bbp-forum-content ul.sticky
But the default color declaration has an !important in it. What’s the best way to fix this so my color will display? I know I could hack the plugin CSS, but that’s not the best option. 🙂
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). in /path/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3787
I am using Simple Membership and BuddyPress in addition to bbPress so i imagine this is an integration issue. Is there a way to resolve it?
Thank you.
Pascal thank you once againe.
i am using WordPress Version 4.4.2
bbpress 2.6-alpha
but i post in forum -> in 2 sec i refresh forum page in another window the post is there but why it’s takeing long time to redirect me to the post page up to 20 sec ?! is it notification or where to read in the functional
Yeah, I’m actually thinking it might be best to require the user (me) to manually move the images directory from the old site to the new site. Then, maybe just use the xenForo URL to the image to display it in the post. It “should” be safe since xenForo reduced the images based on admin settings when they were originally uploaded. Just some random thoughts from a guy not looking at import code. 😉
I can add a “generic” that would change [ATTACH=full]872[/ATTACH] to generic URLhttps:/example.com/attachment/872, you could then manually change thehttps:/example.com/attachment/part of that to anything you want for examplehttp://surveyorconnect.com/attachments/` and have that folder on your server serve up the attachments from there?
I’m wondering if https://bbpress.dev4press.com would actually cure some of the bbcode issues automatically.
We actually use a pretty comprehensive BBCode library already during import it converts a huge amount of common BBCode code to native HTML for us, I think you’d find there are only a handful of custom BBCode’s not covered by this library and is why I add them manually.
p.s. I haven’t packaged up a new release with the changes just yet, but you can always get the latest version (with the above updates) from:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/XenForo.php
At the bottom of that page is a link to download the file in “original format” and that will get you the file, the link is dynamic and changes each revision so that’s why no direct link.
I see, can you have a try with this plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/ ?
Also considering checking bbPress 2.6-alpha that should be released soon as a stable version. Email sending has improved there: https://bbpress.org/download/

Pascal thank you for the replay as i mentioned before i had disabled all plugins and leave only the bbpress but 20 second to post, seems the email notification taking that time
Hello,
I have a WordPress/BuddyPress/bbPress installation.
I have noticed that in all activity coming from the blog ow the social network functionality of BuddyPress, the user name displayed is the one filled bythe user during registration as the on e to be shown in the community.
On the other hand, in bbPress forums and in the activity stream related to the forums, the user name displayed is the login required name of the user.
Is there a way to sync these and display in bbPress the “community name” too?
Thank you

Hi, when I install bbPress, there is no back end functionality – no options to add forums, categories ect.
Upon deactivating and reactivating all my plug ins, it appears All in One SEO is causing a conflict.
I can’t do without this plug in, but I also need a good forum on my site.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan.
I’m not quite sure what to do with attachments as bbPress import system does not yet support attachments ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, I’m actually thinking it might be best to require the user (me) to manually move the images directory from the old site to the new site. Then, maybe just use the xenForo URL to the image to display it in the post. It “should” be safe since xenForo reduced the images based on admin settings when they were originally uploaded. Just some random thoughts from a guy not looking at import code. 😉
I’m wondering if https://bbpress.dev4press.com would actually cure some of the bbcode issues automatically.
Also I’ve added support for YouTube, Daily Motion and Vimeo BBCode conversion
Sweet!
I’ve added some styling to the quotes now, so it wraps that quotes in “blockquote” and cites the authors name, e.g “wendellh wrote:”
That’s perfect. The post and member numbers are really just useless information at that point anyway. I don’t see any real importance in providing the links back to the quoted posts either. I mean, it would be really cool, but not a big deal.
Ah, I didn’t know about these types of posts, I’ve now done this, for topics/threads replies/posts that were “soft deleted” these are now imported with bbPress/WordPress “pending” status.
Thank you!
