Hi, to which address are you receiving notification? bbpress uses “bcc” to send notifications but add a “to” address to each outgoing email (probably because not all mail servers accept only the “bcc” address).

The “to” address is noreply@yoursite.tld (if not change by other plugins), it could be this address ends in your mailbox?

They change the noreply address since few versions, before the noreply address was built in a wrong way creating a log of bounced messages.

Stefano.

You need a plugin to use quotes with bbPress. The best plugin with quotes is GD bbPress tools.

I am trying to remedy an issue that occurred suddenly today and after no major changes on the site. Quotes are completely broken. They are exposed example..

[quote=753]content here

[/quote]

To troubleshoot earlier I disabled all plugins aside from bbpress and the problem persisted. Has anyone else encountered this issue before?

[hotconductor]

Greetings!

I am really enjoying bbpress but have a major glitch on my install. I am receiving notifications via email, but I am not subscribed to any topics. Zero. I even installed the plugin for unsubscribing from all topics just to verify and it states ‘no topics subscribed’ so there is no option.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

[jhmattern]

I need to be able to schedule topics in advance. For example, I might come up with an idea and draft a topic at 11pm on Sunday night, and I might want it to go live at 9am on Monday morning.

That’s no problem. I just create the topic in the admin area and use WP’s built-in scheduling feature. The topic goes live on the forum at 9am the next day as expected.

The problem, though, is that the freshness in BBPress doesn’t reflect this. At 9:30am, for example, it should show a freshness of 30 min ago for that topic. But instead, it’s showing 10 hours ago — based on the time the draft was scheduled rather than the actual scheduled publication time.

This is a particular problem when I need to schedule a week’s worth of new topics at once (to keep a growing community regularly updated with new discussion points). They all show that they have similar freshness when people view the main forum or category pages, instead of showing that content is being published at regular intervals.

Is there anything I can do to fix this so BBPress reflects actual publication time (like WP does in general) instead of relying on the time the topics were physically edited?

[imemine]

I am on the latest version of WordPress, but a custom theme ( developer left it half way) so I am fixing it myself.

1) The forum page shows for post the correct numbers. Example
post tite: Voices(5), Posts (6)

but inside posts it says
This topic contains 5 replies, has 5 voices
Viewing 1 post (of 1 total)
Then it shows just the main topic, not the replies to it.

This is the code for the bbpress.php template

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="page-left" class="container">
	<?php
	the_content();
	?>
</div>

<div id="page-right">
	<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Seems fine to me, what do you think I missed?

Read this, it is a common error usually not associated with bbPress, but other plugins.

The same happens with the profile page.

Hi,

Is it possible to have user registered using social builder plugin to bbpress? I want to use bbpress in my site Technotif

Thanks,

Hi
I get this:
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/easychem/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3560

Also I found bbpress interapting my gallery library. When it’s activate I get blank screen in the gallery library, but’ when I switch it off, I can see all my gallery.
This is My site:

and 4.2.4 of WordPress

I have anonymous posting disabled. The setup, as described in my first post (the bbPress setup tries to mirror the WordPress setup as closely as possible):

At the WordPress side, things work flawlessly spam-free with anonymous comments disabled, a custom question in the registration form (stops most spam bots), a mandatory e-mail confirmation for new subscribers, auto-moderation of the first comment (stops manual spammers) and Akismet (which doesn’t really have anything to do at the end). On the bbPress side, I’m only missing the moderation of a user’s first comment, which is letting through some spam.

Anyway, I don’t really want to turn this into a troubleshooting exercise for the bbPress Moderation plugin as that’ll just needlessly eat up your time. 🙂 I can give the plugin another go later if I decide to go down that route. But thanks again!

[Robkk]

I could really only find posts that were talking about bbPress v1 standalone. I did find a post that was in 2012, which I think the bbPress plugin was around then. You can study the code and see if it would work.

The page is in another language though.

@Robkk,
After a short support chat with Bluehost, the tech advised he ran a few basic fixes on the Bluehost side. This cleared an internal mail server cache. This apparently is not something I can do in my Bluehost account. He was very quick about this and knew exactly what to do once I described the problem. My notifications are now coming through ok.

Thank you for all the feedback and help. It never ceases to amaze me how gracious and helpful you folks can be here on bbPress.
my best
Matoca

Again,

Just reset the BBPress forum and everything turned right.

Hope you have a nice day @Robkk

[Jira R.]

Thank you Robert.

However, I tried to delete all custom CSS related to BBPress and even reinstalled the BBpress itself but nothing change. I just want it to be normal, not be located under the avatar. Please guide me a little more to fix this issue.

[Robkk]

Customize this CSS from bbPress.

#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
	background-color: #fff;
}

#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
	background-color: #fbfbfb;
}

[Robkk]

Okay, then it might not be a bug in bbPress then. I do not know why I didn’t get some emails from my server, some topic notifications did go into my spam folder though, but I did not get any forum notifications. I did subscribe to a forum on this site as a fallback for testing, and I did receive the forum notifications for new topics on this site though, so it seems to work fine.

I did not try the plugin yet because I want to check things in a certain order rather than adding another new plugin to my site and another layer of complications.

The functionality of that plugin I think is going to make it into core anyway. The way that bbPress does it right now with BCC, the emails could be caught up in a spam/junk folder.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2797?cversion=0&cnum_hist=2

So my next step should be to check with Bluehost support to see why these many different notifications from bbPress, Gravity Forms and Wordfence that are being generated are not being sent to any administrator emails. I’ll get back here when I find out more.

Okay, it makes sense to possibly be a server issue since you have issues with multiple notification emails from different plugins. WHen you get sorted with your issues with the other plugins, come back to tell me how bbPress is doing.

[Robkk]

I think this custom CSS on your site is causing the issue. Try to find an alternative to what you are trying to do before.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content {
    clear: both;
    margin: 10px;
    padding: 0;
}

[Robkk]

Thanks for your time and effort in trying to help me Robkk, but I am aware of the above.

I am just making sure.

I also don’t doubt that bbPress Moderation works for most installations.

Tell me how you are set up.

Do you have anonymous posting enabled? Because after more testing Do not Moderate A topic or reply by a previously approved author does not work for anonymous posting, it still works well for registered members posting though.

I am starting to think that no alternative solutions are going to come up, which then leaves me to either try to get bbPress Moderation to work as you suggest, or write something myself.

A third option could be to wait for the maker of the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugin to come up with something, as his future plans with the bbPress Moderation Plugin Add-On appear to be to turn it into a successor for bbPress Moderation.

Yeah, you don’t have to use the bbPress moderation plugin. You can always fork it, or use any available alternatives, free or paid.

[Jake Hall]

Good Morning all,

This is an issue I have had present on my bbPress forum ever since I moved away from Apache, and onto lighttpd. The difference is, I have to add the rules manually to get them to work. Anyway, here is what I currently have in my .htaccess equivalent:

# This is mainly a fix for bbPress and its functions
url.rewrite = (
    "^//(wp-admin|wp-includes|wp-content|gallery2)/(.*)" => "$0",
    "^//(.*)\.(.+)$" => "$0",
    "^//(.+)/?$" => "/index.php/$1"
  )
}

Unfortunately, whenever I try to perform an action on a post (e.g anything that utilises the “?action” URL argument), it redirects back to the post. E.g:

http://rockstarwire.net/community/thread/yrs/edit/?action=merge – Will navigate to the edit post page.
http://rockstarwire.net/community/thread/bbcodes-have-been-temporarily-disabled/?action=bbp_toggle_topic_close&topic_id=983 – Will navigate to the post again. (and won’t close the topic)

Now I am pretty sure this is going to be something to do with the URL redirects, infact, I am almost positive that will be the case.

Could anyone assist with this one?

Thanks

[Jira R.]

After I created a topic, all of the content is under a avatar not on the center of the page. How can I fix this problem?

Hi,
I installed the latest version of bbPress on the latest version of WP.
Under Reply, I don’t have the combo box for the “Reply To” but a Text Field.
Nothing under Screen Options.
Any advice?
Thanks,

Thanks for your time and effort in trying to help me Robkk, but I am aware of the above. Perhaps I should have mentioned that I have been using and developing with WordPress since around 2005 and my history with bbPress goes back to when it was first publicly released as the 0.x versions. So, I do know my way around the systems and have an understanding of how things work in general and what to do if they don’t. Still, I do appreciate your time.

I also don’t doubt that bbPress Moderation works for most installations. It doesn’t for me (every post gets moderated, even after approving a user’s post), which may be due to my theme but could also be because of a plugin conflict, as you mention. The question then becomes whether I start troubleshooting my installation for a plugin that doesn’t appear to be supported any longer and based on its support forum seems to have some kinks, or if I should try an alternative approach in case someone has found a better solution to the problem. Considering that this thread has been here for almost a week now, I am starting to think that no alternative solutions are going to come up, which then leaves me to either try to get bbPress Moderation to work as you suggest, or write something myself.

A third option could be to wait for the maker of the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugin to come up with something, as his future plans with the bbPress Moderation Plugin Add-On appear to be to turn it into a successor for bbPress Moderation. But that one’s not here yet (if it ever will), and it of course also comes with a recurring subscription fee.

Or I could wait for this feature to end up in core bbPress itself, as you mentioned.

Well, at least I have options. 🙂

[Matoca]

@Robkk,
Some very good information here. I appreciate the post.

I have not done any significant WP troubleshooting since I discovered this only today when my moderators emailed me to say they weren’t getting emails. My first stop usually is the forum to see what other users might be having the same problems. Surprised me to find someone else having the same identical problem and at the exact same time. Since then I have been methodically going through the website to ensure that everything else seems to be working fine. Most important, the forum is working properly!

I keep everything up to date and I have WP set to auto update. And bbPress is also up to date.

I did not try the plugin yet because I want to check things in a certain order rather than adding another new plugin to my site and another layer of complications.

Yes, the notifications have been in place this way for quite a while. I see in my inbox that I was experimenting with it by Fall 2013 and put into place for notifying the moderators shortly after that. Since notifications are part of the default settings I would have seen them immediately and gladly used them. I wanted to avoid having a lot of email forwarders on the Bluehost server and this has worked extremely well.

I don’t allow comments on the site and so that isn’t something I can check. The specific purpose of the notifications for topics and replies is to help the moderators monitor the forum around the clock.

I have Wordfence on my website and it set to notify me of all Admin logins and other security alerts. They all stopped coming to my email on 8/5/15, another indication that something is amiss with emails, not necessarily with bbPress.

And an interesting development tonight that I am trying to sort out is that I use Gravity Forms on my website so that dog owners with very sick dogs can get Urgent Advice around the clock. The forms they fill out go out by email to all administrators as they are generated.

Tonight we got an Urgent Advice form submission and the notification did not come to my administrator address (and that means no other administrator got it) but it did come to the website email address (a Bluehost box). That also comes, as I said, to my desktop client at home. Otherwise I would have had to look in the dashboard forms to know it had been generated. This tells me that something may be wrong, not with bbPress, but with Bluehost emails. I have checked the notifications for Urgent Advice and it is still set properly to go to all administrators.

So my next step should be to check with Bluehost support to see why these many different notifications from bbPress, Gravity Forms and Wordfence that are being generated are not being sent to any administrator emails. I’ll get back here when I find out more.
