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
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
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?
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there is an option for admin to add and remove member subscriptions to forums and topics but this plugin is out of date and not being maintained.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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
this would be theme rather than bbpress related, but even then, I do not know any theme that lets you do this
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?
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)
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?

@erikalleman thanks so much for taking the time to respond — especially when it’s not currently something you are working on.
I know you will not need this, but I thought in case others have this issue, and come across this post, I’d add that there is more needed to solve this issue than I posted last week.
For both of us, we were/are attempting to utilize the ajax behavior for a series of topics. However, the JavaScript that bbPress utilizes targets an ID and not a class name. This means, that outputting a series of topics with Favorite links will all have the same ID, and only the first topic will use ajax.
My solution ended up requiring template overrides for loop-single-topic.php to create unique IDs for every favorite link. Then I wrote a new click function for Favorites, as well as a new bbp_ajax_call function in js/engagements.js.
@milfuegos – this is free software and the forums rely on volunteers such as myself, who get no payment.
Responses to questions may or may not happen.
I cannot say why offhand you youtube does not embed for users – it might be a wordpress admin or bbpress keymaster that allows this, I’d suggest you try combinations of permissions to see if you can work out which permission is preventing.
you previous questions relate to you wishing features that are not native to bbpress, I might look at these when I get time, but I am away on holiday this week.
Hi @mrentropy,
I stopped using bbpress (for other reasons) a long time ago and even my website,
so I cannot try out your solution at the moment.
Thanks for the feedback.
No, I could not solve the issue.
Actually, in my case, the issue was that I was overriding the theme files and had removed this span. <span class="bbp-row-actions">. bbPress must try ajax first, and if it fails, just redirect the page — and the JavaScript logic must look for that class name? Adding the span back, made the page behave as desired.
