Just shows how much we don’t play with – I’ve never hit that link.
By the way I’m not part of the plugin team, just a humble user !
But after a bit of testing, for a topic called Test Topic :
Within the post you’ll see an edit which takes you to
http://www.mysite.com/forums/topic/test-topic/edit/
which allows a user to edit
But the EDIT link at the bottom goes to
http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=18358&action=edit
which is a wordpress supplied link, which a user isn’t allowed to edit as it is a backend function, unless they have privilege to access topics on the backend which only moderators and keymasters can do.
So participants see this link which they can’t use !!
Well spotted – I’ll take a look when I get a moment at whether this can be switched off in wordpress for bbpress pages, or the link changed.
Sorry u might be confusing. There’s 2 different backgrounds. The one that I’m talking about now is the actual background of the tables. The even and odd of the forum. I changed it by putting this in my child theme:
#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: “the color you see”!Important;
}
#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background-color:” the color you see”!important;
}
I then changed the parts that affect the actual theme through theme options. After doing this, I noticed stuff wasn’t changing back once I put it back to the default color. I then tried changing the code above and it didn’t work anymore. Then I even deleted the code, yet it still didn’t change back to normal.
The original background was dark I believe. Can’t remember for sure. But now it’s white and a tan, which I set with the code above, but I can’t change it back.
Haven’t had a detailed look but
bb_register_view should be bbp_register_view
bb is buddypress, bbp is bbpress
ok, sorry but I have not come across these before, and can only find them in connection with site5 when googled.
I can’t say why bbpress is affecting your site
@Robin W
A lot of webhosts use resource points when they provide unlimited resources in terms of bandwidth, diskspace, email accounts, Subdomains, Databases.
Luckily for Site5 they do not directly disable the website but if it exceeds the limit for 30 days in a given month they do give a warning regarding that they will disable it.
I’m quite happy with Site5 as it’s quite a good webhost especially for the price (which I currently don’t see many other competition that can provide the same for the price).
But yea with the BBpress plugin it just overuses the resources which makes it almost unable to make use of it and as our website is mainly focused around the forum we would either need a way to optimise it or a way to convert it to another platform.
Moving to another webhost for that reason is a bit silly and probably would end up me paying more than what I pay currently.
Wow. Here’s a quick followup: after submitting this bbPress topic, I see a green Edit link at the bottom of this screen (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/participants-arent-able-to-edit-their-own-topics/). When I click it, I get the exact same error message:
You are not allowed to edit this item.
This is feeling like a global bbPress problem.
What’s going on here??
Hi,
When a user creates an account at http://thewritepractice.com/index.php?/register/JUZsw5 and then goes to the bbPress forum at http://thewritepractice.com/bw and posts a topic, there is an Edit link at the bottom of that topic. But when they click that link, they get this error message:
You are not allowed to edit this item.
A few notes:
- I’m on the latest version of WordPress.
- This problem persists when all plugins but bbPress is activated.
- This problem persists when the 2015 theme is activated.
I installed and activated the bbPress Advanced Capabilities plugin and learned that if I enabled “Edit others topics” for Participants, the participant could then edit their topic.
So in other words, bbPress thinks that the topic is being created by someone other than themselves.
Any ideas how this could be the case? It’s very strange…
Thanks!
Okay, I’m officially freaking out now. After hearing about it quite a bit, I finally learned how to create a child theme. I did so, and I began adding css related to bbpress with “!important” to change things. After changing a few things, I realized the text color wasn’t going to work, so I went into my theme options, and there is a way to change colors without having to go into code. Luckily, there is a default button, so I can just press that to go back to default. Basically, I changed each one and then refreshed the forum to see if that was it. I finally found it, but I didn’t like what it did to the rest of the site, so I went back to default. Now nothing is changing on the forum, even though everything else is going back to normal in the theme.
So I then started deleting the changes I made in my child theme .css, and it isn’t changing anything. I even went as far as to go back to my parent theme. This made the forum disappear, so I deactivated it and re-activated it. Well, now it is right back to the one after it was changed. How could it still be changed? I tried deleting it and re installing it, but it still won’t change. How could this have happened?
Sorry for panicking, but I simply don’t understand how this happened. Thank you for any answers.
I’m working on a site that HAS to have a “custom” button on TinyMCE to insert a custom string for users through the visual editor on BBPress. It works fine through the wp-admin, but it has to work on the actual forum pages. I located where the failure happens – does anyone know how or what I need to replace this with in order for it to work with BBpress? Or any other hacks I can try?? (It’s basically selecting all the text, then I do a search for a specific item and add their custom string to that item):
var content = tinyMCE.get(‘content’).getContent();
Looking at the code, I though maybe it should be:
var content = tinyMCE.get(‘bb_topic_content’).getContent();
but that didn’t work either….
Hi,
We are looking for someone who can upgrade our old installation to the newest version of bbpress. Who can help us with this and want to make some money?
Our forum is Dutch, but I don’t think that’s a problem since mysql = mysql 🙂
since bbpress uses wordpress registration this is really a wordpress issue
In wordpress you should just disable ‘anyone can register’
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
Nevermind. It was a mvc route picking up the word, not a bbpress prob.
ok the title comes form your theme, so I can’t help precisely with what to do but you should look in the page.php file or similar and find
<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
or something similar.
Come back with the lines and a few before and after and I’ll try and help further, but many themes are very complicated!
on the second issue, put the following in your functions file
Function hide_topic_display ($retstr){
$retstr = '' ;
return $retstr ;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_pagination_count', 'hide_topic_display' );
Functions files and child themes – explained !

I meant more to update/upgrade bbPress to refresh it and make all patches.
Finally we are got the solution!

I’m also stopped recive the notifications by email after update… to 2.5.4 (not sure about version). This happens because new bbPress send one email to all subscribed people. I publish the solutions for another issue few weeks ago https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hook-to-bbpress-notifications/#post-156426 but it also the solution for your issue.
In few words about my code:
- Disable default bbPress notifications (one email per all users).
- Add similar notifications but it sends one email per user and WordPress send it by using cron (not immediately).
P. S. I’m also using WP SMTP plugin to send email throw external SMTP server.
I’m not sure that I completely understand that you say. But few weeks ago this super big green labels not appeared on the forums root at bbpress.org.
Thank you 🙂 I’m just trying to use this repository like bower_component. I can’t find SVN URL endpoint to using it in bower. Few examples from Bower API (bower. io/docs/api/#install):
svn+ssh://package. googlecode. com/svn/
svn+https://package. googlecode. com/svn/
svn+http://package. googlecode. com/svn/
I try use svn+h t t p s : / / bbpress. svn. wordpress. org/ but it doesn’t work.
P. S. I use a lot of spaces because bbpress. org doesn’t allow publish replies with external links.
It looks like there are possibly 2 issues being reported here.
One issue reported by the OP is that emails are not working properly. Another being that people aren’t being notified due to the subscribe checkboxes not actually being checked by default causing people to become unsubscribed when they post replies to topics they were previously subscribed to.
The first issue with emails sounds like it could be conflicts with themes or plugins. However if it is actually an email issue it could also be that the emails from the server aren’t being properly sent or received which could be for a number of reasons such as bad DNS records or improper mail server configuration.
The second issue is that when posting topics or replies the subscription checkboxes are not checked by default. This is described above by Killerrabbit2 here in this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/email-notifications-not-working-looking-for-help/#post-153189
I think if bbpress added an option to set the default state of the checkboxes to allow the subscription checkboxes to be checked or unchecked with the default being checked would be part of the solution for the second issue.
You can set the default setting to be checked by editing the bbpress template files /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php and /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php and finding the subscription input checkboxes and adding checked to them seems to fix part of it.
<input name="bbp_topic_subscription" id="bbp_topic_subscription" type="checkbox" value="bbp_subscribe" checked tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
Another issue seems to be that it doesn’t subscribe to topics within a forum when subscribing to an entire forum. So for example if you subscribe to a forum and a topic isn’t checked within that forum (which is how bbpress is currently set by default since it doesn’t subscribe to things by default) then it won’t notify you of new replies. Kind of defeats the purpose of subscribing to an entire forum I think. So if you subscribe or unsubscribe to an entire forum it should subscribe or unsubscribe all posts within that forum at that time. I haven’t tried adding code to fix this yet.
I suspect some bbpress templates could actually do this stuff for the second issue properly. Not sure if people even release new ones ever or not. It’s also possible that some themes could potentially already have their own bbpress templates which potentially could be broken or outdated causing issues.
@Killerrabbit2
I did contact Robin, his response:
“The only fixes (http://www.rewweb.co.uk/reply-subscribed/
http://www.rewweb.co.uk/topic-subscribe/) I have are the ones in the original email.
If emails are coming from wordpress, then they should be ok from bbpress.
Do you have any plugins that could be causing conflict, or maybe your theme.
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

Did anyone solve this?
Yes indeed, it is flexible for any integration. But….but…but…i am so afraid of some plugins and functions in them that other forums scripts (must) have on default.
– Quotes
– Attachments
– Views count
– Unread forums/topics
– Ignore User
– Etc…some more.
I mean, WP support forums for this plugins are like, developer was active like 6 months ago. It they help it is few sentences each month.
I dont complain for this, they do it for free. Just saying it is a danger game.
But, as long you dont update/upgrade bbPress/BuddyPress everything works i guess. There is small risk WP upgrade would ruin something.
Like the follow thread I created more than a half hour ago isn’t shown on this board: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/resource-usage/
