I disabled bbpress Notify and found that the notifications to replies/subscription is working.

I had NOT set bbpress notify to override bbpress subscriptions, so not sure why it was still disabling those notifications.

However, the email seem to have been addressed to noreply@domain, with the user email Bcc’ed

Is that how the notifications are sent? Not sure where the noreply@ was set, there is no such email in the system, so it will bounce.

That is the default bbpress display 🙂 🙂

Hi

I noticed that “: )” doesnt create a smiley on a standard bbpress forum, but it does on this official forum 🙂 how can i have the same ?

also how to show emoticons on create / reply form ?

thank you

[Robin W]

ok, If you are certain that

1. the box is being ticked (by default it is left blank), and that
2. emails are working from within bbpress (ie if someone else subscribes to the topic they get an email)

then the standard fault finding applies…

it could be a theme or plugin issue

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

Yes, that is standard bbpress behaviour – replies are not sent to the author on the grounds that he does not need to be told that he has posted a reply 🙂

I think bbpress notify follows that principal as well.

There is a filter that could be used to change this behaviour if it is critical, but it will probably annoy as many posters as those who like it. Personally I have enough emails 🙂

If you like, I’ll take a more detailed look, but it may not be a free answer.

Hi,

I am using bbPress and also bbPress Notify. The Notify plug in is set to notify users of creation of a New post. While only administrators are notified of replies.

The email notification to administrators works perfectly and all new posts and replies are notified.

However, replies are not being sent to the original poster even if the “Notify replies” box is checked.

I can’t see those email in the email logs in the Post SMTP plugin that I use to handle emails.

So it looks like the email is not being initiated even.

Is this plugin not compatible with Enfold?

or you could ask

is enfold not compatible with this plugin?

check out

https://kriesi.at/support/topic/getting-bbpress-to-work-with-the-enfold-theme/

and perhaps raise with enfold as this is a paid theme

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses the .body font from the wp-content.css file.

You could style it using

.mce-content-body p {
	font-size: 25px;
}

but this will not save to the post, it will just be what is shown in the form

Hi

Is there a way to show similar topics at the end of a topic ?

i know it might be an issue for performance when a forum has a lot of topics

An idea of the cost & requirements of doing this as a paid job ?

Easier alternative : show the last 5 topics of the same forum : how to do this ?

Thanks 🙂

ok, you suspect the theme, but need to prove that, so standard fault finding applies ie

Hello,

On my staging site, k9fitness1dev.wpengine.com/ for my client, I installed BBPress. The forum page works fine, but when I try to open a topic page, it shows the content from blog posts that were published a super long time ago. I tried unpublishing the blog posts, but it still shows these contents.

I am using WP version 5.8, bbPress 2.6.9, the enfold theme which is to date, and I believe that this glitch has something to do with the Avia advanced page builder, because the content that is generating shows a bunch of short codes that look like avia shortcodes.

I tried to repair the forums, under the forum settings, but this did not cause any changes.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi

Unlike other forums, bbpress doesnt give the creation date of a topic, or did i miss something ?

in the topics list, there should be the date :

Started by : Nicolas July 8, 2020

like this forum for instance : https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/499-feature-suggestions/

the creation date is a major information how can i do that ?

thank you !

I use the newest versions of wordpress, bbpress, buddypress and the Responsive theme.
I can’t find a way for participants to add more than one link or picture to forum posts or replies without the posts going into moderation. Where can I set the threshold? Is there any plugin for that?
Moderators can do that.

[Robin W]

add_filter(  'gettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3  );

function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        'Forums' => 'Forum'						
             );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}
     return $translated;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Hi,
I cannot find a way to change title of ‘Forums’ to ‘Forum’.

I have changed it in settings / forum root and forum single slug (i get this message – possible bbPress conflict: Forum slug and vice versa)

Any suggestions please much appreciated?

Thanks,
Ollie

Hi

Of course you can 🙂

XenForo

[DeepBlue]

No size restriction, actually bbpress is much lighter than Invision, Xenforo etc
And i would add :
use LiteSpeed Cache : best cache for WordPress (and even better if you have a LiteSpeed server)

[Robin W]

No restriction in forum size – this site uses bbpress with 130,000 odd topics. Server capability is of course key to any response time.

Bbpress just uses wordpress login, so you will need to look at how that is done with wordpress.

[Robin W]

I can only suggest you try it, but in essence yes, bbpress has categories, forums, sub forums, topics and replies.

[debcat24]

I intend to create a large forum setup that will have many different categorised topics and will contain sub forum topics and within that topic there will be the comments of the users.
Is this possible in bbpress 🙂 ?

[Robin W]

not sure that will help – as I stated in the fix, this is neither bbpress or elementor problem – just 2
plugins that try and help wordpress but don’t totally work together.
