You’re correct! If I deactivate bbPress Tookit the column disappears. Guess I need to report the issue to Pascal Casier instead? However he hasn’t updated his plug-in for 4 years so probably no great hope. I think I used it to allow users to subscribe to individual forums. Is this possible in other ways or with other plugins?

[Robin W]

ok, that is not bbpress, suspect it is bbPress Toolkit doing that, try decativating it to see if that column disappears

[Robin W]

ok, I’ll take a look at where that stat is listed.

can you just confirm that this is a technical issue – ie all the current subscribers are getting their emails, it is just that bbpress is also sending another 20 emails to empty addresses, and the number is wrong?

[stuartataltitude]

My website keswickmountaineeringclub.com uses forums, e.g. to log information about rock climbing meets. The Meets forum says it has 113 subscribers, but if you list the subscribers and count them you find there are 93. If you list the notification emails sent out you see (scattered throughout the list of emails in the email log) 20 mails that have been sent to an empty (missing) email address. I’m guessing, but maybe when deleting some old club members the email notification list has not been updated correctly? It looks as if the list of email addresses used to send out notifications is not synchronised with the list of subscribed members. Is there a way to fix this?

I’m currently using WordPress 6.0. bbpress version 2.6.9. bbP private groups 3.9.1. bbp style pack 5.0.5. bbPress Toolkit 1.0.12.

[Robin W]

thanks for posting. The site needs access to replicate so cannot be reproduced without.

bbpress does not have a WYSIWYG editor by default, so what code/plugin are you using to get this? I’d suspect your theme may be doing this, and therefore may be creating the problem.

You also have an error in your theme (Use of undefined constant bbp_reply_id ), which is either code you have added to what looks like a parent theme, or an error in the theme itself.

I’d suggest that you prove this by

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then if it is theme contact the theme author as it is a paid theme

Even after checking the box to not moderate registered users, the bbpress software after about 6 months moderates a posting. Is there some way to get the system to not moderate anyone who is registered on the site?

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress includes a function called bbp_make_clickable that is used to turn regular URLs in topic and reply contents into anchors.

You would need to unhook it to prevent it from happening.

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 40 );
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 40 );

Hi,

Normally bbpress changes any URL to link or gives img tag etc.

Is it possible that we don’t have anything visual and have only plain text based response?

I am asking this because people respond to support forum with all sorts of links which goes to 404 on a later date.

Having it as a code based and not actual link will mean no more 404 in future.

[neon67]

On reddit ))))) Are these rumors?
Okay, what’s the best way integrate bbpress with Guttenberg’ blocks today?
Only shortcodes or some other method…

[coopersita]

Looks like the user description no longer shows on the profile page. You can see in my profile https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/coopersita/ that the bio I added is not showing under Profile.

I’ve checked the templates, and it should be showing, but it’s not.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

Hello Robin!
Approval is implemented using the following tools.
bbpress moderation tool
The administrator will be notified by email when it is posted, but I would like to notify the poster by email that it has been approved.

[uksentinel]

Is there any update on this thread, looking to achieve exactly the same by adding a Locked / Closed tag (icon) when a topic is closed ?

I have already used the code to ensure text does not turn Grey, so just looking to add some form of symbol so forum users can see topic thread has been closed

Thanks

BTW – for reference for others, code to stop Closed Topics text changing to Grey is …

#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #000 !important;
}

[uksentinel]

I have looked online and not able to find the answer, so thought I would put the question to the BBPRESS community.

bbp style pack has the option to ‘Limit Topic Tags to a list’ is there any way to map the Topic Tag List to a specific forum in BBPRESS.

i.e.

Cars (Main Forum)
Ford (Topic Tag)
Renault (Topic Tag)
Audi (Topic Tag)

Another forum
No Topic Tags etc.

Another forum
No Topic Tags etc.

[mbisque]

I would like be able to send email notifications to specific people when new topics or replies are posted.

Exactly like what this plug in does:

bbPress Notifications

However, it was last updated 9 years ago.

Is this plug in still in use? Or is there a newer one?

[Milan Petrovic]

I am author of GD bbPress Attachments, and what you see is the message returned by WordPress when uploading. This was not the problem before, but it looks like the upload in WP has changed to recognize duplicated files. I will see if there is a way to handle this in some way in the future.

Regards,
Milan

[Alfapi]

Hi,

In the plugin GD bbPress Attachments I have the error “It appears this file is already present in your media library as post 38220!” when I upload file and If i rename the file, I have the same error.

After many tests, I realized that I need the change the “title” filed in the file properties in the detail tabs.

How to solve the issue?

[toddc99]

Just wondering if BBPress has the capability of adding posts to the forum via email.

[biztips]

I set the home page of my site to display the forums. There will be public forums.

However, when new (unregistered) site visitors see these Forum names, I also want them to see the NAMES OF PRIVATE FORUMS.

I’m thinking that if they see other topics that interest them they might register. Is that possible?

Have bbPress installed on new site, step4profitforum.com, version 6.6

Thank you!

[Robin W]

in the bbpress.pot file

[davidnewth]

Having a couple of issues with a Non-Profit website I am working on. TBH I HAVE VIRTUALLY NO EXPERIENCE OF WEB STUFF.

1st issue i have is the when using safari the login and the forum topic input does not show up. Seems to work correctly in Opera.

2nd issue on the Forum page I would like to remove the text “bbPress Forum”

3rd issue would like to increase all forum text by 15-20%

Apologises if these are all stupid questions.

The site is not live at the moment (still lots of content to be added) but can be found at https://1888hh.live-website.com/forums

Many thanks in advance.

[mod603]

Nice to meet you.
Thank you for the wonderful plugin “bbpress-moderation-tools”.
I would like to change the display message of this plugin, can you tell me how?

[diannekrause]

Hi,

I apologize if this answer is elsewhere but there is SO much here to search and dig through and much of what I’m finding is too technical for me to understand, especially the things in the documentation I found.

What I’ve been asked to do is customize where it says “Topic” and “Tag” on the topic page. We actually want Topic to say what we’d like them to type there and we’d like “Tag” to actually say “Strategy” where the users can type in a specific strategy we are asking them to learn about (We are an educational PD company and we’re using BBpress in conjunction with the Lifter LMS we’ve built into WordPress). We also want it so the “notify me of followup replies” is checked of by default.

MY own personal knowledge of WordPress is primarily GUI but I’ve done some things in the “customize” area of WordPress with the help of Lifter Support. SO, when things are telling me to deal with .php files (like I see in the documentation), I have no idea what to do.

Is there someone who can tell me how to customize these things? Is there bbPress SUPPORT where I can put in a ticket and get hand-held help like I do with Lifter?

Any and all help is appreciated as I have been asked to do these things that I have no idea how to do.

Thank you!

Thanks, the only thing is, I do not want to modify the php or css files. Not only is that a rathole that I’d never escape from, I do not feel competent to do so, and to be honest, I don’t want to learn all that. I wanted a forum plugin that would use my theme and allow me to style it by using one of my theme builder’s page templates, because that I know how to do.

In any event, further research led me to discover that bbpress seems to use three custom post types: forum, topic, and replies. I can’t find documentation about when these custom post types are used, but I’m guessing that “forum” is used for the forum index listing, “topic” is used for the topic listing within an individual forum, and “replies” are for the replies.

I figured out that Thrive Theme Builder lets you create a template and apply it to custom post types. I did that with the “forum” type and it it does seem to work. It looks ugly, but at least it applied the template and now I can fiddle with it.

So then I tried it with the “topic” type, but that doesn’t seem to take effect. When I click on a a topic that I created, it takes me to a page that uses the default Theme Builder’s archive page. Not what I want at all. I would be fine if it used the same “forum” template, actually, but I don’t see how it does that.

Finally, Theme Builder does not even show the “reply” type as an option so I can’t try making a template for that one.

[Robin W]

which has a set of templates (or you can easily create your own)

if you create a template and call it ‘bbpress.php’ then this will be used by bbpress.

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

section 8

[ferule]

Hi all,

I am using Thrive Theme Builder, which has a set of templates (or you can easily create your own) that you can apply to different pages, etc. One nice feature is that they are “smart” in that you can set your theme colors and then if you change them, they’ll change on all of the pages in your site that use the smart templates.

It’s easy to specify which Thrive Theme Builder template to use for pages that show up in the wp Pages list. However, BBpress forum pages seem to be generated on demand. Right now, if I click on a forum, it us using a random (but probably the first alphabetical) template (the default “Audio post”). Which needless to say, is not what I want and is ugly to boot.

Is there a way to specify which Thrive Theme Builder template to use for these pages? I am not a coder (at all) and I’m highly leery of poking around with php files and so on, especially as they might get overwritten or broken by wp or Thrive or BBpress updates down the line. So what I really want is a setting that says, “choose this Theme Builder template for the forum pages.”

Thanks!
