or if a new user registered for the forum

Getting a notification for a new user registering is from the core of WordPress. If you do not seem to get any notification at all on your site, you may need to contact your host for help on this.

Again if you do not seem to get any or some of these below notifications you may need to contact your host.

New Comment / Comment Awaiting Moderation
New Trackback
New Pingback
Lost Password
New User Registration (For Admin)

If you do get some, then we have to do more troubleshooting(which could possibly be a plugin issue) and some possible bug finding in bbPress.

[aikichick2012]

Hello there,

I installed bbpress a couple of months ago on my wordpress website and have only recently noticed that I never get any notifications by email, like when a new topic is created, a new comment was made in the forum or if a new user registered for the forum. In “settings” the box for notifications is checked. Other users don´t get notifications, either.

I have installed AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions (a solition that seems to have worked for some people here), but it is still not working 🙁

I use wordpress 4.2.4 and bbress 2.5.8

Could it be a problem with other plugins I use, such as wp spamshield?

I am not a programmer or developer, so my knowledge is limited, I am afraid… 🙁

Thanks for any help,
Sonja

Hi all!

I just cannot find a solution to add other custom text fields to the reply form.
Looked at the plugin bbpress Reply Titles but this does not work – the title is not saved/displayed as content. Just find solutions for adding fields to the create new topic form.

Is there anyone who as an idea how to achieve this?

[stardrive]

Please, I removed BBPress Login Widget from the right sidebar. I placed another login widget from a different plugin author. But, it is still showing in the right sidebar in the front end, and the other login widget is not showing.
Any help as to how to permanently remove the BBPress Login widget?

Regards,

Stardrive

Hi,

I have a weird problem that I really hope someone here can help me with. I’ve tried everything I can figure out myself – but I need someone with more knowledge to help me figure out the solution.

When I search as logged in as myself, everything works correct. Let’s say you would search for the phrase “adwords” – I get to this page with one result: http://antonhoelstad.dk/soeg/adwords/

But when I go incognito, and try to do exactly the same as I were anonymous, the url I land on after a search is this instead: http://antonhoelstad.dk/soeg/?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=adwords

Two completely different URLs, but the same search and procedure. Only difference is that it works for me as a logged in administrator, but not for everyone else.

Does anybody know how I can fix this issue?

I’ve tried:
1. Disabeling all plugins and using the standard theme
2. Resetting the permalink structure
3. Deleted and set up the BBpress plugin from scratch
4. And a lot more

None of it worked unfortunately 🙁

Maybe it’s possible with a redirect in the .htaccess to remove the part of the url that doesn’t work (“?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=”)?

I will really appreciate anyone that can help me here!

You get the error from upgrading to 2.0.10??

Also I can see SMF’s changelog and it mentions this. This might have caused an issue, but it could possibly be a simple fix.

Fix for unsupported UTF8mb4 characters

Here is the current SMF.php importer in

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/SMF.php

You can take a look at my gist file/download it and open in an IDE editor.

[sharingsunshine_wp]

I tried to find the code to actually see what is wrong with the sql statement. I followed these directions thinking the smf importer would be close by.

************
You can also make your own custom importer using the included Example.php located in /bbpress/includes/admin/converters/Example.php to setup an import from any SQL database.

However, I don’t have a /bbpress folder at the root is it in another subfolder? Or, has it been changed since this page was created?

Thanks,

Randal

This custom CSS would help with your line-height issue.

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author {
    line-height: 2em;
}

You cannot see the topic form when logged in??

Do you see any notices that show in the topic forms place??

You can try to see if there is a theme/plugin issue first.

@acs-yt

Try this custom CSS to see if it would help make your forums full width.

@media and (min-width: 992px) {
 .bbpress .col-md-8 {
    width: 100%;
 }
}

Use this to completely remove the sidebar with CSS.

@media and (min-width: 992px) {
.bbpress .col-md-4 {
     width: 0;
     display: none;
 }
}

a. Stop All Notifications for this Topic

The user can just unsubscribe from the topic either from their profile or visiting the topic again.

b. Provide one Daily Notification with all Comments for this Topic
c. Provide one Weekly Notification with all Comments for this Topic

For a daily digest I guess you could use this plugin, but it might not be exactly what you are looking for, and users have reported the plugin not functioning properly. You may need to hire a developer for users to get a daily digest of a specific topic.

I can tell that it looks like that site is using this user created theme, and it might be useful to look at using it.

BCC could have some issues on some servers, usually installing this plugin will help.

[krushnac]

how to prevent admin to delete the topic which has reply in bbpress??

[Robin W]

Try adding !important – your theme may be overriding the settings viz

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

This is the issue

[Be-Sting]

I just completed building my forums in Version 4.2.4 and very pleased. I’m a mere 10 days new to WordPress, buddyPress and bbPress so be easy on me.

My main forums require membership. I want 4 private and separate forums, each requiring a separate password for 4 separate private memberships.

I’ve built the 4 pages, each requiring 4 different passwords and they work great. How do I put a forum on one of the pages, assuming that all four would require the same procedure. Correct?

A related question. One of the forums is called “Women Only Club” and so I require gender as a radio button during membership application for that exact reason. (I’m in one of the last industries where women want their own forum, so no PC required.) Can I make a system requirement for joining the “Women Only Clue” automatic only to women so the system returns the password without processing each myself?

Thanks in advance.

Hello.

first of all, thank you for supplying such a good plugin.

I met one serious problem while using the bbpress forum.

I set bbpress forum, but there’s no writing new post form.

On Chrome, there is. but On Internet Explorer, I cannot find this anywhere.

In html, it’s class is “bbp-topic-form” and id is “new-topic-0”..

please help me.

How can I fix it?

[Pascal Casier]

I moved it to the right hand side completely using this CSS into my theme:

/* bbpress move ‘(un)Subscribe’ to the right corner */
#bbpress-forums .subscription-toggle {
float: right;
}

Pascal.

[Robkk]

Its weird that you are getting this, bbPress and BuddyPress should work fine in most permalink structures (not all), but usually pretty permalinks and the default permalinks structure should work fine.

You did not try to edit any of the core plugins to try to fix it right??
Also you didn’t try to modify the htaccess file in WordPress unless you knew what you were doing??
Do you have a multisite installation??

I am making sure this isn’t a user created issue.

[Robkk]

You can always try a new theme with bbPress. Also you can use Ultimate member with bbPress, although there is a paid addon from them for the integration.

You can use BuddyPress (instead of Ultimate Member) with bbPress and the BuddyBoss theme, it is always a good combo.

Hello,

I have been wanting to switch to bbPress from SMF 2.0.9. I ran the importer and all looked well until I compared the number of topics in various forums and found the bbPress import is about 1/2.

Here is a screenshot of the smf url and the topics and posts in the first 3 forums on the smf installation.

Here is a screenshot of the topics and replies on the bbPress forum conversion I just did.
https://gyazo.com/a1356951215c6e98659895499ee4283a

It also seems to have doubled the users – here is a screenshot from the smf forum
https://gyazo.com/0fd7722d0f632dc4bc1a843be09893a1

Here is a screenshot from the bbPress convert
https://gyazo.com/c88588a0d4ee4095d6f6eafe5310925b

I did a complete reset of the forum before the convert. If you need to see the bbPress forum it can be found at http://www.thefrugallife.com/forums

Please tell me how to fix these issues so I can start using the bbPress forum instead of smf.

Thanks,

Randal

However, I do think Im going to drop bbpress and go for the new social plugin from Ultimate member. I wanted bbpress though, but cant get it all.

Btw the theme Im using is incantationPro by Gradient Pixel
