Can you give us some more detailed information please.
Another topic similar I have been looking into is here:
Edit topic reply, changes post order
Is this what your seeing or something different?
Good Morning Folks
I have setup a brand new website for my local gaming club and I have installed BBpress as an alternative forum to phppress ( to get rid of adverts without having to pay) users are starting to migrate across to the new bbpress however i have noticed that some posts are not appearing in linear order, example – date & time posts listed on the forum its not on all of the forums but it is annoying to see posts not showing as and when folks replied.
Can anyone offer any thoughts on how to fix this?
ok, here my latest uüdates to custom CSS field of my theme:
#bbpress-forums > #subscription-toggle{
float:right;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a.subscription-toggle,
#subscription-toggle a{
font-weight:bold;
padding: 0 2px 0 2px;
border: 1px solid navy;
background-color: white;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content .is-subscribed a.subscription-toggle,
#subscription-toggle .is-subscribed a.subscription-toggle{
background-color: #FFE000;
}
Hello Stephen,
Following your recommendations, I disabled all the plugins (except for bbpress) and runned all the repair tools. No change.
afaik, this happens, on all posts that are edited by any reason.
One post was created yesterday, edited and have the same issue. Even the answers that I posted today appears before yesterdays edit.
I migrated from bbpress 1.x around 2 months ago.
You can see one example at: http://endian.eth0.com.br/forums/topic/novato/
(also changed the template to twentythirteen now)
Thank you!
Stephen, Twenty Thirteen theme is clean, no customization , i never used this theme, folder is original no extra additions here…
I see same image above with only difference wich i have subscribed 2 topics and see that.. But for forums i see only “You are not currently subscribed to any forums.”
switched to the Twenty Thirteen remove all customizations for my theme and bbpress template.. it use all original files..
Hi
I already tried that. Doesn’t work. Only when replacing the updated bbPress plugin folder back to the previous version.
I started a Topic of this on my theme support page. So maybe they can find a solution.
Here.
I wonder, have I misunderstood this new (2.5) feature.
No 🙂
I expected that once I am subscribed to a forum I would receive email notification of any new post or reply in that forum. But I haven’t received any (and yes, there were posts overnight to forums I have subscribed to)
Indeed you should receive an email containing something like “You are receiving this email because you subscribed to a forum.”
You will only get ‘New Topic’ emails, if you want replies you also have to subscribe to that specific topic.
I had assumed that the subscription feature would mean I could deactivate ‘bbPress Notify’ plugin, but it seems I still need it.
Essentially yes, you should no longer need to use the ‘bbPress Notify’ plugin
A probably quicker and easier way to test the patch is to download the following file:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/export/5210/branches/2.5/includes/core/template-functions.php
Save that to your PC and then with an FTP program upload it to your web host in this folder /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core
Thanks for the reply’s I am going to try what @focallocal did with the new patch that was released to see if that fixes it. I had moved the stylesheet for bbpress into my theme for now and linked it that way so that I could continue working on it for now. I’ll try the fix the mentioned above tomorrow and see what that does for me. I appreciate all of the responses.
If you have switched to the Twenty Thirteen you should the same image that I posted above using bbPress 2.5.
I know you have some custom templates in your normal themes child theme and I have a suspicion that you might also have some in your Twenty Thirteen theme folder and they need to be removed (or backed up), you need to find a theme that is ‘clean’ and has no extra additions in its folder structure, either in the root of the theme or a sub-folder bbpress.
Thanks for the reply, MediaTemple DV should not be a problem and I won’t need the other info.
Can you try this for me please 🙂 Download the following file and save it to your PC.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/export/5210/branches/2.5/includes/core/template-functions.php
With an FTP program upload it to your web host in this folder /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core
Does this fix the issue for you in either bbPress 2.4 or 2.5 (Preferably 2.5)?
Also new replies are inserted before the edits:
TOPIC A
– Post 1
– Post 3
– Post 4
– Post 5
– Post 6
– Post 2
In this case was/is ‘Topic A’ a newly created topic in bbPress 2.5 or a migrated topic from v1.x?
Also can you run the repair tools following the instructions here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
Does this fix the order?
If the order was fixed and a reply is edited what happens?
Hello,
When I was using 1.1 alpha, this problem wasn’t happening.
After importing the old forum to 2.x, I did noticed this issue.
Yesterday I also upgraded bbpress to latest version 2.5
The addons that I have enabled are:
– BBPress Close Old Posts
– bbpress Simple Advert Units
– Captcha
– Custom Meta Widget
– Google Analytics for WordPress
Template: Lobster (bootstrap 3)
– switched templates and issue stills there
Also new replies are inserted before the edits:
TOPIC A
– Post 1
– Post 3
– Post 4
– Post 5
– Post 6
– Post 2
Thank you
Thank you for you extreme patience with me.
So am I not supposed to be seeing the Visual Tab inside the forum Topic and Replies now that this recommended plugin is installed? This is from the read me file for bbPress Enable Tinymce-visual-tab:
“Enabling the full default TinyMCE editor mode will display all the buttons, similar to the editor inside the WordPress admin.” I guess I expected to see this.
Ok, this gets more complex doesn’t it… Another plug in, I will have to look and see what could be doing this. This function of editing user’s image dimensions in topics right in the forum pages was super for the moderators. They are leery of always using the dashboard to do everything and this made it a simple task. Isn’t it always hard to go backwards…
The Add Media button information came from the Read Me file for bbPress Enable Tinymce-visual-tab:
“Enabling the media upload button, “Add Media”, will only enable this button for users who have the ability to upload files. By default this is authors and greater. This means this button will _not_ show for normal forum users. This is simply to give administrators the ability to easily upload and insert images into bbPress.”
I am giving 4 moderators admin and keymaster privileges to add images to posts, delete spam etc. The forum is being run with no registration required, my choice. The topic and reply traffic has been considerable and this is only a hidden test site by invitation only at this point. I had many choices to pick from for forums, and we definitely agreed we did not want to be using FB or yahoo. So far bbPress has been perfect for this. But the plugin problems have been greater than normal this week.
Thank you for your help,
Patrice
You also go about it this way by adding it to your themes functions.php file or your bbpress-functions.php file in your theme directory.
To change from Home › Forums › My ForumSubscribe
To change to Home › Forums › My Forum (Subscribe)
function ntwb_forum_subscription_link( $args ) {
$args['before'] = ' (';
$args['after'] = ')';
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args', 'ntwb_forum_subscription_link' );
If you don’t want to add it manually grab the entire file here and add it as a standalone plugin to your WordPress install.
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7686980
@brucedongcaigmailcom Thanks for that info, helps to make sure we have all the bases covered 🙂
Probably an easier way would be to download the entire file using this link
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/export/5210/branches/2.5/includes/core/template-functions.php
Save that to your PC and then with an FTP program upload it to your web host in this folder /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core
p.s. Just let me know if it doesn’t work
Hello Stephen,
1) I am using XAMPP1.8(3) locally. I chose XAMPP for Windows. I did install it over 1 year ago. so I do not remember well, but it is from the same location: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html.
2)What is “Window Xampp Apache (3.1.0.3.1.0)” – I found this info on XAMPP control panel. it is version 3.1.0.3.1.0. but it is not right information for you. 🙂
3)We have a patch ready to ship with bbPress 2.5.1
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481
I do not know how to install the patch. can you provide the detail steps? I would love to test it. I also do updates/installation inside the wordpress panel. so I do not know how to manually do patch.:)
4) If the patch is not working, how can un-install it or what should I do? so I can have recovery plan.
Happy thanksgiving!!!
thank you
The plot thickens…
I don’t disbelieve you, but I can’t understand why the visual tab has been working since the installation of bbPress a month ago and suddenly failed this week?
I think you may be using another plugin that adds this functionality and the issue may be with that plugin 😉
I followed the link and loaded the updated version on the server then installed it in the plugin directory. There was no change, I still can’t select the visual tab, but I do see the Add Media button and it works.
Neither bbPress or the plugin I linked to have an ‘Add media’ button :/
Thank you for writing back so quickly!

Once I start getting some emails of posts I will be able to tell if the html has been removed from emailed posts.
Thank you
Hi,
I am in the same situation and I have found a solution. You can apply filters to almost every function in bbpress it seems. I just followed the functions until I found these three filters:
apply_filters( 'bbp_get_user_profile_link', $user_link, $user_id );
apply_filters( 'bbp_get_reply_author_display_name', $author_name, $reply_id )
apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_author_link', $author_link, $args );
Using these you can change basically everything. I found it easier to change the avatar ALT text vie the normal wordpress get_avatar filter since I wanted that to happen site wide anyway. Here is an example of the reply filter:
function replace_bbpress_replies_username_filter($author_name,$reply_id ){
$author_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id($reply_id);
$author_object = get_userdata( $author_id );
$author_name = ucfirst($author_object->user_login);
return $author_name;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_display_name','replace_bbpress_replies_username_filter',10, 2);
Hope that helps. You can do it through templating but this way you don’t have to worry about doing it in a million different templates and then also dealing the layout of the markup you use to replace the current markup. And if filters confuse you and you don’t understand go read this:
http://dev.themeblvd.com/tutorial/filters/
I had zero knowledge of how to do filters when I read this thread 16 hours ago and decided to not go the route the above person mentioned.
EDIT: I thought I’d add that they really could make this a lot easier with very little effort and make it so that you could configure what to use as a display name…. If anyone reads this from bbPress I’d be happy to get involved and do it for them. Seems so dumb to default to make it peoples full names when 90% people don’t want that. That is what facebook, G+ etc is for.
bbPress disabled the visual editor in bbPress 2.3 ~8 months ago.
Take a look at this plugin if you want to enable it again
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/
If you think that is what you want to try please use the download link attached to this post in their support forum as it is an updated version https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-in-bbpress-24?replies=9#post-4687693
I have a bbPress forum running that has been successfully running for a little over a month now on a WP blog. Average usage is about 20 posts a day.
In the last few days I noticed that the Visual tab is not available for replies, only the text tab. I have tried to switch to the visual tab, but it is not available. This would not be so annoying except all posts are emailed to all admins and the replies are full of HTML code. I understand what it is, but the other moderators do not understand it.
So the emails look like this:
“worked closely with one of the researchers on this paper <span style=”line-height: 1.428571429;”>(both did their Internal medicine specials together at vet university)</span><span style=”line-height: 1.428571429;”> &”
I hope someone is able to help. We are a busy forum helping very sick dogs and there probably have been 50 replies in the last few hours.
Thank you, Matoca
@thetechnoman Are you using custom bbPress templates in your theme?
It’s hard to tell by your screenshot of what is or is not broken, to me that looks fine but I have no idea what it used to look like, can you give me some more information and/or screenshots of 2.4 vs 2.5 please.
@focallocal Cool, it looks like the patch has worked for you
The W3 (and any cache plugin for that matter) are known to be funky with bbPress, there are a few discussions here on bbpress.org if you want to know more on that.
i think i’ve found it.
the problem is only there when W3 Total Cache and bbPress are both switched on, if either are off the problem goes away. i’ve flushed the cache a few times but it made no difference so i believe there is a compatibility issue between the two. W3 is not essential to my site so i’ve switched it off and wont worry too much, but i thought you’d like to know.
