Limiting the keymaster ? Keymaster should be able to manage the whole system, so I would not touch that one. Think more of creating a new role like ‘myKeymaster’ and give the capabilities that you want: https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/

Hi –
I’m using bbpress for a membership website I created. I’m having issues with the way the theme I’m using is laying out the list of forums.
It looks like this, but I would prefer it to layout the forum in one row instead of columns.
I’m learning CSS and PHP, but I know enough code to be dangerous right now. I’m looking for an easy fix.
Any ideas on how I can fix it appearance of the forum?
Wordpress 4.4.1, bbPress 2.5.8, draftanimalpower.org
@hotconductor, I found my way to this forum in search of answers to the same questions you’re posing. I found this recent topic which basically says that you may be able to achieve this result by editing the child theme, changing functions, or using an external search functionality like that of Google Custom Search.
@Robkk, could you be more specific about what code we would need to add to the child theme in order to achieve the functionality we’re looking for? I am capable of very basic code but my ability level is low so I’m hopefully looking for something I can copy in.
Help please?
Job done Pascal it was AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions 2.1.
Not only are messages being sent but haven’t had any browser time outs on loading the site since deactivation. Time outs have been a pain, along with intermittent slow page loads for ages.
Go “Buy yourself a beer”.
Cheers,
Eugene.
Hi,
It seems like a conflict somewhere. Did you try to deactivate plugins (like AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions 2.1) or others ?
Pascal.
I want to reset my bbpress data.
However, this is giving me a 500 error every time.
Any advice on how to fix this so I can clear my test data and do a fresh import.
So I put two versions of my forum up on two different live sites: one hosted by IIS server running on Windows and one hosted by Apache running on Linux. Apache beat IIS hands down, it wasn’t even close on page load times. So it’s bye-bye Microsoft for me, LAMP is the way to go for speedy page loads.
So just don’t run bbPress on an IIS site and the speed is acceptable.
Hi,
I confirm the issue. I have create a ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2906
Pascal.
Two approaches
1. you are using Reden=pro which is a paid theme, so you should get paid support to fix this, quite often it is very simple, but it is theme dependant
2. see this link on getting wordpress to use the template you want
https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
Ouch, ok, let me have another look
EDIT: In my 2.5.8 install of bbPress, I see vBulletin3 in the list, so I would say give it a try on a testsite. Get WordPress, bbPress then Tools > Forums > Import forums
Pascal.
Yeah, great plugin, I know the author very well 🙂
In the log of Postman SMTP, do you see the email going out ? It might be a malformed header (had that in the beginning, although nothing to see with bbPress).
Pascal.
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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
probably a theme or plugin conflict

Part 1
The form is held in
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
you’ll see several do_action hooks you could use, or indeed you could amend this template and save it in your theme as a new version.
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-reply.php
and bbpress will use this instead.
Most of the template used in bbpress are held in
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress so hunt around in there for topic forms, profiles etc.
Part 2
` $forum_id = bbp_get_reply_forum_id($post_id);
`
Group forum feeds are having issues.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2888
For just topics, you an for now use the original forum structure url and add this to the end.
/feed/?type=topic
bbPress basically has search equal to the default WordPress search, so just basic functionality.
You can extend the default search in bbPress by using custom functions and modifying some bbPress search template files by placing the in a folder called bbpress in your child theme. Here is a GitHub repository that has some example files you may use, you will need to edit the files as it may be in Russian.
I have seen users use plugins and extend the default bbPress search functionality, and also services like Google Custom Search too.
I’m getting the same behavior. Batch Change Forum Role has no effect.
With the upgrade to WP 4.4.0 bbPress 2.5.7 and 2.5.8 batch change of user forum roles are no longer effective.
This does seem linked to the WordPress upgrade as batch forum role changes worked under both bbPress 2.5.7 and .8 worked under WP4.3 but stopped working under WP4.4.
I’ve deactivated all other plugins and set theme to TwentyTwelve – still not working. Debug True is not revealing any hints either.
Anybody else out there experiencing this?
Normal forum software can search by date / author / tag and within specific forums and topics – am I missing something – does bbPress have a decent search function hidden somewhere?
Hi Robin,
Many thanks for your response. I downloaded, unzipped, installed and activated your plugin from your site.
Unfortunately messages and replies are still not being sent.
Via Postman SMTP I get notifications of users editing their accounts, I get messages sent via contact forms but sweet FA from bbPress.
Needless to say I’ve checked the e-mail servers and they’re not finding their way into spam folders.
Any further help/advice would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Eugene
Hi there,
Yoast SEO takes over (Browser/Site) Meta Title admin, and does so nicely with the Forums pages. However, when activated, it replaces the personal profile page meta title with the URL. When deactivated, this title reads “Move Meta | Your Profile”.
I use WordPress (MS) 4.4.1, bbpress 2.5.8, Yoast SEO 3.0.7. Our forums (in the making).
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Maybe Yoast could enhance his plugin – what could I ask him to do, what would he need to know?
Thanks four your help and time
Manuel
On our website we have the following problem: users with BBpress role “Blocked” still receive notifications for their subscribed threads. Therefore a Blocked user can read by email the new posts posted in theis subscribed threads. I need that they don’t receive notifications if their bbpress role is blocked.
Hi,
According to the codex, only v4.x is supported (https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/)
Can you maybe first upgrade from your v3 to v4 ?
Pascal.
Hi, a trac ticket is created and will hopefully be implemented in one of the next versions of bbPress. If you need this now, maybe this thread can inspire you: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/migrating-from-one-bbpress-installation-to-another/
Pascal.
Good question, too bad nobody answered it. I was wondering the exact same thing. Why would there not be an importer for the most current release of bbPress? Doesn’t make any sense.
