Notification emails to administrators for new topics and replies have been arriving in our emails, but Content: is missing the text, it is blank. This started 9/9/15, about 4 hours after the last ok notification.
The format of the notification emails is still correct, they are grabbing the topic title, the correct topic url and the “posted by” but the content is missing.
I checked the Forum settings in Settings and all settings are correct, have not changed. I re-saved them in case there was a hiccup but that did not change anything.
I see that someone else reported this about a year ago but wasn’t able to have any success fixing it.

I was thinking it might be helpful to run one or more Repairs, but I thought I had better check here first before just randomly clicking on “repairs” in an effort to fix this.
Any suggestions you can provide will be helpful. We really really depend on these bbPress notifications. We provide 24/7 assistance to dog owners who have very sick dogs and the emails are a critical part of doing that.
thank you, matoca
So I am new to bbPress. I am on the Kleo theme along with BuddyPress and iMember360.
I have automatically set all my users to spectator when registered, and I am going to setup a script to switch them to participant later.
But right now, I notice spectators can post! From what I have read, spectators should only be able to spectate.
I haven’t messed around with bbPress except for adding the visual editor, and styling the attach link modal.
What’s the deal?
I’m having all sorts of html code show up as part of bbpress email notifications. Worst when the text is pasted in from other webpages or emails, but that’s unavoidable with lots of people using a forum.
Even random characters when someone types directly in the editor.
I’m using wordpress’s built in mce editor with only visual mode available. Latest versions of wp and bb. Are there any solutions to fix this?

Thanks in advance! Rich
This does not have to do with bbPress…but.
If Drupal was your first CMS read this guide.

You may need to hire a developer again if you had more customizations created then just migrating from one CMS to another.

Yeah you can insert a shortcode on the forum index page using some hooks that bbPress provides.
bbp_template_after_forums_loop
Here is a code snippet that will do what you are looking for though.
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
For the freshness link it should link to whatever was the last activity, with that either being a reply or a topic created. If you want you can filter the forum freshness link to just show topics I guess. The filter is bbp_get_forum_freshness_link
Hi all, is there any way to restrict that email notifications in a topic only apply to 2nd level replies to my reply? And not for other users replies on the same topic.
I don’t want to receive notifications of other replies in the topic I have replied.
Running:
– WordPress 4.1.5
– bbPress: 2.5.6
Thanks in advance!
bbPress does not do this by default, and it might be a little tricky to do this with the subscriptions component.
What you want may be custom development and you may need to hire a developer to create this for you.
bbPress does have profiles, but like I said with BuddyPress active the profiles merge by defautt.
IF you want link me to your site and I could just point it out for you.
IF you have BuddyPress the subscriptions section will be something like this by default.
yoursite.com/members/andyrushtonprogramming/forums/subscriptions/
Without BuddyPress the subscriptions section will be in your bbPress forum profile with a url simllar to this by default.
yoursite.com/forums/profile/andyrushtonprogramming/subscriptions
Did that help you find it yet?
@Robkk oops sorry for being slow on the uptake on what you were saying. OK, I get it now. Except I can’t get it working on our installation. We’re using bbPress stand-alone, not part of BuddyPress, so maybe the link you gave only works when using the combination of the two? The ‘profile’ element in the URL suggests that this is a BuddyPress feature to me since bbPress doesn’t have profiles.
Anyway, it’s not really what I was trying to fix. I’m using the “bbPress Notify (NoSpam)” plugin to solve the actual problem. But thanks for the tip, it is useful in these forums.
Hello
we are using (bbPress)recent topics default widget, does any one knows that how to make “number of reply” show like this on widget ‘s topic list?

I’ve been doing some testing tonight, and actually made the realization that the starter theme is not the way to go for me. The first suggestion of yours seem to give me what I’m after just as well, and with a lot less effort on my part in the next stages.
In response to my other questions though (referencing this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbp-single-forum-wont-work/#post-166535):
Surely, there’s got to be a way of displaying both the forum index AND other shortcode elements on the home page of the forum? Since it won’t allow me to do changes in wp-admin if I set a custom page as root, do I have to call the shortcode via PHP in my bbpress.php custom template file?
Also, I’d love the front page “Latest update” to permalink the latest post, not the topic. Difficult task?
Thanks Robkk,
There’s no way to use the built-in sending of email bbPress has like when you click the “subscribe” button on topics and tags?
Hello
for us, https://bbpress.org/forum/troubleshooting/ looks “better” , why there is especially a “(Recommended)” on that option though?
any conflicts will occur ?
It is just like customizing a regular WordPress theme.
Just copy the bbpress.css file into your child theme in a folder called css then edit it to your liking.

bbPress Styling Crib
It is weird that when I check the teststudents blog in the dashboard, I can see users listed as Participant as their site role, while it should be Subscriber.
The WordPress backend menu is all off when I hover over menu items. I do not know what is causing that. Also some bbPress tools in the Tools section, seem to have their own menu items also, which I do not know why.
There also seems to be forums on some blogs with the same content too??
This is one for example.
http://theglobalschool.net/science/tilliemcr/forums/topic/hello-world/
You can probably find more by visiting the site, and adding /forums at the end of the url.
If you haven’t already try some troubleshooting to see what is causing all of this.
Troubleshooting
They are just listed as “participant” under users of the blog in question. I’m not sure whether they are bbpress forum roles, but bbpress must have something to do with it because when I uninstall bbpress the behaviour stops.
There are no forums on these blogs, just the parent blog (http://theglobalschool.net/science).
Try it for yourself. Go to a sub-blog (http://theglobalschool.net/science/nerissabcr). Hover over “blog authors”. There are heaps – most have only viewed the blog. Notice ‘teststudent’ is not listed as a blog author.
Now go to http://theglobalschool.net/science and sign in as [removed login information]. Now visit that blog again. I bet “teststudent” is added as a blog author.
That is a really old topic that used bbPress v1 standalone, which is entirely different software than what you have now. So I would recommend not using any code from topics about 3 or more years old.
You may need to install a Find and Replace plugin to remove the tt tags, or just change back to break tags.
To add mutiple line breaks you may need to read this, maybe install the mentioned plugin, and maybe also active TinyMCE in bbPress using the bbPress Enable TinyMCE plugin.

Thanks for finding that bug. I will create a trac ticket for this.

Closing this in favor of your other topic.
How can I change voices and replies
Please do not make duplicate topics.
You can use the default registration forms in WordPress instead. The bbPress register shortcode is not really complete in functionality. The login shortcode should work decent enough though.
I have seen users use Qtranlate or Qtranslate Plus. You may need to use a fix though for resolve some other menu item issue.
Conflict with qTranslate
Download this file and edit it to change the word Freshness. Make sure to copy the file in a folder called bbpress in your child theme.
https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout
Or try this that might help get the “by” and category layout. You should be able to copy all the folders in your child theme.
https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs
Don’t change the root settings in bbPress to be that page and it should work.
If you only have one forum, make it where the Forum root should show Topics by Freshness in Settings > Forums, then you can just leave it how it is without an additional page.
@andyrushtonprogramming go to your forum profile on your website, I was just using the one on bbpress.org just as an example.
It should be something like
yoursite.com/forums/profile/username/subscriptions
With “yoursite.com” being your actual site url, and “username” being your username. You can easily access your profile by hitting your author link in your reply.
If you have BuddyPress active, the bbPress forum profile will merge into BuddyPress, and anything in the bbPress should be under a menu item on your profile named Forums.
copy loop-topics.php from the bbpress plugin into your child theme in a folder called bbpress and edit these lines.
<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php _e( 'Voices', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
You can change it like so.
<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php _e( 'Participants', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( 'Comments', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
