if you have bbpress subscriptions turned in, then users have the option to subscribe to any topic and receive replies.

Hello
I am new to BBpress.
Is the following content possible with BBpress?
1) Group the forums and have each membership level in the group.
2) Only registered members in each forum can send email notifications (new topics, replies) to the grouped forums.

I look forward to your advice.
thank you.

Quick update as of Wednesday May 17th 2023, WordPress Support confirmed a JetPack fix has been pushed, I tested it this morning and it works. If you enable:

JetPack > Settings > Performance > Enable Site Accelerator > Speed up image load times, then bbPress Forum posts will no longer be missing and Site Accelerator will work normally as before.

Text gets cut off in the mobile browser and goes into different columns. For example a topic page, the last column is last post with the time and author name. The author name is cut off.

from memory I have not written that one with pagination as the bbpress one does that for pages where you want lots to show, but does just have 15 as the only option

[bbp-topic-index]

I have done some initial testing.

On the test site that is running slow, it seems to be related to subscriptions and emailing.

I’d like confirmation that this is indeed the issue for you both as well before I spend time investigating further.

If you are able to help can you go to

bbpress test

and download a small testing plugin.

Then in your site, go to dashboard>plugins>add new and upload the plugin you just downloaded.

When activated, this plugin will stop emails on new topics, which is what I want to prove is the issue. So you’ll need to activate, do the test and then deactivate. During the period when it is activated subscribers will not get emails for new topics, so you may want to time your tests to a quiet time on your site.

So when you are ready activate this plugin, then create a new topic and see if it runs back to the usual speed.

Once you have tested, immediately deactivate this plugin, or your users will not get any new topic emails.

At the moment this is only testing new topics not replies, so no point in testing replies yet !!

Hello, I work for a software development company that specializes in web and mobile solutions. I have some experience with bbPress and I agree that it can be slow sometimes. One thing that helped me to improve the performance was to update the bbPress plugin and WordPress core to the latest versions. You can also disable any plugins that you don’t need or that are not compatible with bbPress. You can also try to use a lightweight theme that is optimized for speed. I hope this helps you to solve your problem. Cheers!

Is there any replacement for bbpress toolkit. I constantly get spammed with this email.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

sorry bbpress just uses the wordpress user system.

I’d suggest you use one of the many login plugins to enhance your users perception of your site eg

Theme My Login

[zoddshop63]

is there anyway bbpress can not interact with wp-login? Whenever a new user register it send them to wp-login screen

I just want the users to see the custom login and register pages.

[zoddshop63]

bbpress doesnt send any emails… activation emails, forgot password, subscription, etc..
the page bbp-register shortcode has register option which sends an email but since no email is sent no user can register.

so what do you mean by ‘activation’ ?

bbpress just uses wordpress ‘registration’
bbpress has ‘subscriptions’

so not sure what ‘activation’ you are meaning?

[zoddshop63]

This is still a huge problem, all emails are not working from bbpress.

Quick update to this, from WordPress – the JetPack developers are hoping to issue a fix for JetPack tomorrow, Tuesday May 16th 2023. This should resolve the ‘blank post’ issue on bbPress.

[kent3452]

I FOUND A SOLUTION HERE AND IT IS FIXED.

Blank content, see only username.

[kent3452]

Hi, I am using bbPress to run a forum where my users can upload contents on it.
everything was working fine until few days ago I realized that whenever I tried to click on a topic in a specific forum, Critical Error occured in WordPress. By downgrading PHP version to 7.4 from 8.0, I managed to access the topics again. However, now I am unable to see the reply’s contents neither the attachements (my users can upload file in reply as well).

Strangely, when I click EDIT in reply, I can see the reply in texts (attachments do not show though) but when I hit the Submit button, the reply box is still blank.
I checked the Replies box in WordPress admin and I can see they are correctly linked to the topic.

Can somebody help me? I have been looking through a respectful amount online but I could not find a solution 🙁

activation emails not sending. I am using smtp via a plugin called WP Mail SMTP. All emails are sending except from the bbpress ones for activating email.

Quick update from WordPress (via a support ticket on a Business subscription)

BEGINS

Hey there!

I’m following up today to let you know we’ve identified the issue with bbPRess and Jetpack; our Jetpack developers have found a fix, which is currently being worked on. If all goes well with the development of this fix, we expect it to be released as early as this coming Tuesday.

We appreciate your time and effort, and thank you so much for bringing this to our attention and allowing us the opportunity to get it fixed!

It may well be the address that bbpress is sending from.

this is typically noreply@ and if this email address does not exist then many email hosts will not permit its transit through the system.

either

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

where you can amend the address and change the wording as well

or

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

add_filter('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address','my_bbp_no_reply_email');
function no_reply_email(){
    $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com'; // any email you want
    return $email;
}

and change the address
