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.

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/
So I’m having a problem with BBpress recently on my website http://www.sg-carterpack.com at my webhost (Site5) works with resource points and with using BBpress the resource usage has been increasing by the day.
If this plugin is disabled a daily resource usage is between 100 – 200 resource points, however when I enable BBpress it suddenly rises to 600 to 800 and even +900 resource points in a single day.
This of course makes the web hosts disable my website when it crosses the limit of 450 resource points per day.
I’ve already completely remove my wordpress installation, theme, and all plugins to then completely re-install everything from scratch as before I also had problems with BBpress not showing after updating to wordpress 4.0.
With that I before didn’t know it was caused by the BBpress I was already trying to optimise with using W3 Total Cache and Cloudflare to try to reduce it, yet this wasn’t the case. The website in general did became faster however the resource usage stayed the same.
So currently the forum is installed on new installation yet the forum is still hogging up resources so my question here is:
Is there a way to optimise this or a way to export the boards/forums to use in another forum application/plugin?
My current plugins that are active:
– AdSense Click-Fraud Monitoring Plugin
– BAW Login/Logout menu
– bbPress
– BulletProof Security
– CloudFlare
– W3 Total Cache
– WP User Avatar
For the rest it is using a slightly CSS edited version of the FLAT theme but besides that nothing else has been edited to wordpress itself.
Thanks in advance for any information in advance.
Ps: For more of a month I’m trying to post in this forum but after each thread I make it does not appear.
I’m building a website to discuss books and I created a FORUM page with 4 different forums, one for each book. I then created a topic for each chapter. However, when I open any forum, I can see ALL the topics I created listed (i.e. topics for chapters from a different book). How can I set it up so that topics are displayed ONLY in the forum where they belong? This error appears on all devices and OS.
I’m using WordPress 4.1, Buddypress 2.1.1, bbPress 2.5.4, and the theme is Catch Box. My site is http://www.bookbuk.com
Thanks!
Hi, thanks for the kind words, im humbled.
I am constantly working on this theme in my free hours, not knowing any php or javascript does not work in my favor and development speed is slow due to cutting an pasting till it works.
The actual BBpress forums look pretty cool I think, and these discussion boards are part of what seperates Onlijn.com from Facebook.
Onlijn Forums
I’m theming out BBPress for the first time, and so far everything is pretty straight forward and enjoyable.
First roadblock: I love how the BBPress forum shows topic stats to the left of their topics. How are they printing those stats? I’m not asking for styling help, but just the PHP to use to get that information.
Thanks anyone!
bbPress on Github is empty or something wrong? https://github.com/bbpress I see the empty repository all time.
Hi. I noticed that bbpress.org have some changes in the design. I have some comments about it. I think it will be useful, because I see an errors in the design.
My point is – make most important things on the pages larger and use high contrast colors. Secondary components, like counters. categories, tags – smaller and low contrast.


For example, checkout any github issue page — the header much larger than colored labels and also hight contrast.
Thanks for your response. I want to remove from all bbpress pages.
Please, anyone, i need help. I imported my vbulletin3 with arabic language to bbpress, import goes well but the reder of text failed. please see attached file for the output of the render. Thanks.

Do you want to remove these from all bbpress pages ie forums, topics, profiles etc. ot just from a particular area, eg just from individual topics
