In the BuddyPress profile bbPress subscriptions are listed. With each subscription there a little icon that looks something like [x]. It *appears* that this is intended to be used to cancel a subscription, but when you click on it nothing happens.

I’m a bit confused about where these bbP subscriptions in the BP profile come from. In otherwords I don’t know if they come from BP or bbP. I assumed it was BP but the BuddyPress people don’t seem to know what I’m talking about.

The [x] icon appears to take you to a path that looks like this:

https://mikeandtina.org/members/mike/forums/subscriptions/?action=bbp_unsubscribe&object_id=357&object_type=post&redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmikeandtina.org%2Fmembers%2Fmike%2Fforums%2Fsubscriptions%2F&_wpnonce=37ad0686dc

So now I’m wondering of bbPress puts info about subscription on the BuddyPress profile, or if something else entirely is going on. If anyone can shed any light on this I’d appreciate it.

by default bbpress auto approves topics unless they fall foul of the rules in

dashboard>settings>discussion, so check the settings there

[Robin W]

Sorry, all of bbpress works on topics belonging to forums.

you can have just one forum, and then have your ‘forum’ page with a shortcode of topics using

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

[Himanshu]

In bbpress you have to select given forums and then crate a topic
But I want to crate topics without forum
How to do that?

[Robin W]

the user needs the bbpress ‘keymaster’role to do this.

only a keymaster can set up another keymaster, you do this in the users profile

bbpress uses wordpress moderation settings in

dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation

Set keywords up in there, and bbpress will moderate using them

[caseymarketingcreations]

Thanks Robin, sorry if I confused there, I could only find a plugin which allowed you to moderate all items.

But was looking for a plugin which allows you to set certain keywords to flag to administrators/moderators, and/or hold those posts/comments as pending review.

I do believe now that this is part of bbPress out of the box, is that correct?

I’ve seen a few references to this issue, but seems noone was able to find, or at least post a solution, we’re having issues with divi theme on the archive pages with bbPress, latest WP/BBP/Divi versions with the theme builder, header and footer works on all pages, but the user profile, the other search archives for bbpress, all show a huge margin at the top then messed up formatting.

Was anyone able to rectify this? Divi’s developers blame bbPress and say to consult here.

by default you do not have to approve

bbpress will hold for moderation items that Akismet deems to be spam, that wordpress has for moderation in dashboard>settings>discussion>before a comment appears and comment moderation

You might also have additional plugins that are causing moderation

[angrywarrior]

Hello!
Pretty much as it says in the title.
How do I configure BBpress to auto approve all new topics and not put them into a moderation queue by default?

We use a spam cloud service so I am not too worried about spam topics as they will be filtered out automatically.

Thanks in advance
Kind regards

toolkit still works as far as I know, but if you’re worried, you can always activate to change subscriptions and then deactivate, the actual subscription settings changed are in bbpress

[ibnat]

Oh… I have seen the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugin but this seems to subscribe all members rather than being able to select individual members and edit their subscriptions?

[ibnat]

Hi all,

I see in the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/ there is an option for admin to add and remove member subscriptions to forums and topics but this plugin is out of date and not being maintained.

Does anyone know of another plugin that lets admin control the subscriptions of bbpress members?

Thanks

So latest wordpress and bbpress forum..

nothing worked when I tried to import SMF database..

So I then created a mybb forum and used there importer, which after charset issues, imported the SMF forum stuff fine..

so now back to bbpress, to import from mybb, and still nothing.. it starts and does nothing else just like before with it trying to import from the smf db..

all the options are correct ie db name/pass/port etc… I don’t get it, it says nothing as to why its not processing anything, just stuck at first step doing nothing.

Is this importer even working?

[Robin W]

probably it is various email filters stopping – email providers constantly fight spam emails, and if yours are seeming to not come from authorised smtp address, then some will stop. that might explain why recipients get and some don’t.

so 1st – I’d make sure that the sending email address is a real one from your site. by default bbpress sends from noreply@yoursite you could use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails to change

next I’d set up smtp.

get the smtp settings from your hoster, you’ll need

SMTP Host eg smtp.myco.com
Encryption none/tls/ssl
SMTP Port eg 587
Authentication on/off ?

and the email and pw for whatever you are sending from

the use

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms – The Most Popular SMTP and Email Log Plugin

to set up smtp – the free version is fine

finally I’d add the ‘check and log email’ plugin to see what is happening

Check & Log Email

Hey Robin,

We have the BBPress plug in. On the page that the plug in is set, there is an option to subscribe to the forum.

The real pickle is now part of my team is getting the emails and some are still not even though they are “subscribed” I am wondering if they just need to unsubscribe then resubscribe – kinda like a reboot?

[Robin W]

sorry it is free software designed to work under wordporess, so little chance of anyone writing an app let alone for free

bbpress display well under many many themes on a mobile, the problem is knowing what you think it should look like.

You could try

bbp style pack

which would let you set most of the aspects.

[sixf00t4]

hmmm…any recommendations on a free mobile friendly theme for bbpress then? That’s really what my problem comes down to. Users want a better interface (like an app) for their phone.

[Robin W]

just install bbpress and follow the installation guide

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[bestow78]

How i can integrate bbpress on my current Online side hustle where people can discuss latest trends of online earning and share there thoughts as well.
Is there any guide on this?

[Robin W]

this would be theme rather than bbpress related, but even then, I do not know any theme that lets you do this

[sixf00t4]

Some users only use mobile, and some users like dark backgrounds, etc. Is there a way to let users pick their own template based on what is configured to be available to them?

[Sandra Boulou]

Hi,
I would like to show in a page forum, my forums, members, subjects, answers… I can not arrive to see a shortcode
I have the last version of bbPress and WP members
Thanks for your help,
Best regards

This plugin lets you notify roles such as admin on new posts

bbPress Notify (No-Spam)

[updatediva]

WordPress displays a Subscribed box in the BBPress forum post page (admin access), which lists all users who have clicked the ‘Subscribe’ button. Unfortunately the avatar images are tiny and some are very similar. Is it possible to change the avatars to usernames?

WordPress 6.0.2 running OceanWP theme. BBPress version 2.6.9
