still have not heard back from the user, however i tested this issue myself. This is the page i was sent to 
However, when i clicked the back button all the text was still in the new topic creation window and i simply re submitted the topic and it worked.
Hi Robkk,
I have tested your code. Well I can select in the admin panel “edit topic” or “new topic” “featured image”, I select the picture…when I turn back to the topic, no picture. It doesn’t remain selected.
I use the latest WordPress: 4.30.
Could you help me?
I thank you in advance

Thanks, the code from github is running outside of a forum loop and works on a localhost test site. They used the code in loop-forum.php
<?php if (($has_replies = (strstr(bbp_get_forum_freshness_link(), '<a')))): ?>
<?php bbp_topic_title(array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_id() ) ); ?>, <?php _ex('by ', 'bbPress Freshness Author', 'bunyad'); ?>
<?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 45 ) ); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
This is my code running inside a loop in loop-single-forum.php and didn’t work, will just output my forum title for some strange reason if I post to that forum’s sub-forum.
Okay I found a few fixes for this possible bug, I will need to contact the devs later to see if they had seen something similar before. One is an htaccess rewrite rule and the other is really something simple.
Okay you can try the trailing slash fix mentioned here first to see if it helps, but you are not really experiencing a 404 error because the search term you are searching is stripped for some reason.
bbPress 2.4 // ERROR // Search stopped working…
As a test try setting your permalinks to default and try searching again to see if it will keep your search term and search for it. The query search?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=adwords is usually seen in the default permalink structure instead of /search.
Also make sure you do not have a trailing slash in any of the slugs in Settings>Forums.
The htaccess rewrite method is adding this to your htaccess file on your site that is uaually in the WordPress directory to solve the issue, but do not try this just yet, I don’t want you messing with your htaccess file
# BEGIN bbpress search hack
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=(.*)&bbp_search=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/soeg/(.*)$ http://antonhoelstad.dk/soeg/%2/? [L]
</IfModule>
# END bbpress search hack
When I tested it, it doesn’t have the extra added query ?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=” like your site does.
I also tested it with/without the forum root slug and it worked fine for me.
I have the dame problem for more then six months.
I have disabled all plugins
But still no email notifications
So I will follow this post with interest
I have the latest WordPress and the 2012 theme.
Everything as clean as possible
Hi,
I need a help to solve my problem. i have latest bbpress installation.
Actually i have 6 forums are there.Out of 6 forums i need to prevent users to stop reply in 2 forums. I means that 2 forums should be read only forum. How can i do this.
Please help.
thanks in advance.
Thanks.
Just did these tests and I still get the ‘starting conversion’ but no error. It just keeps spinning.
Dear Dev-Team,
I’m having a strange problem.
Our script creates a new forum if another post_type gets published.
The script has been up running and tested without issues a couple of days ago.
All WP + DB entries get set; even all bbpress post meta information (incl. ping_status, etc)
The created forum DB-entry does look 1:1 the same as a manually published forum.
There is no visible difference within the DB-entries. Also ‘publish’ status is set.
The only way to ‘publish’ the script-forum is entering the forum and hit/click publish again (WP backend). No additional settings need to change, only pressing ‘publish’ does the trick.
After doing this I’ve checked the DB/Debug again; still looks 1:1 the same.
Have you ever encountered such a problem?
I’ve tried resetting user-roles; changing bbpress user to super-admin privileges; deactivating plugins and scripts without any positive outcome.
Before re-installing the entire site I was hoping that you guys know what this could be?
We use “wp_insert_post( $my_forum );” for saving the private forum into the DB. Could this be a DB error? How to overcome such weirdness?
Wordpress Version: 2.4.3
bbpress Version: 2.5.8 & 2.5.7 tested
Tested as SuperAdmin, Admin, and Moderator.
Website isn’t live to the public at the moment.
Please let me know if you need any credentials (private).
Any help, trick or workaround is very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Kindest regards,
Chris
Hey Robkk!
First of all, thanks for noticing, and nope it is the latest, says 2.5.8.
Oh and by the way, i completely purged all of apache, including all of the files in /var/www, and started over.
now at least the ugly links work, but the pretty ones still don’t.
ok, and then i put all into the /var/www/ folder directly this time, as the install instructions for buddy press state, that wordpress must under no circumstances be in any subfolder.
i have installed no buddy press so far but only bbpress, that is alongside multilingual the only plugin so far.
but i am actually planning on installing quite a number, i found at least 24242 so far 😀
now the ugly links are really ugly…
i’d like people to be able to see the topic/content from a link in a mail… 🙂
can i have it like that? 😀
Not entirely sure really but I have tested themes that add next and prev post nav links to bbPress on accident and it seems to work. You may need to add the php tag to the bbPress forum templates, maybe just output it in a bbpress.php file with a condtional to only show on single forums.

you can use the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] in a new page – this will show the latest 15 topics across all forums with pagination.
@strategeek
its been a while and im not 100% sure this will work (in terms of sanitation checks) but if you change
$html[] = '<select class="chzn-select" multiple="multiple" name="bbp_topic_tags[]" id="bbp_topic_tags">';
foreach($tags as $tag){
$selected = '';
if (in_array($tag->name, $selectedTagsArray)) {
$selected = 'selected="selected"';
}
$html[] = '<option '.$selected.' value="'.$tag->name.'">'.$tag->name.'</option>';
}
$html[] = '</select>';
to
foreach($tags as $tag){
$selected = '';
if (in_array($tag->name, $selectedTagsArray)) {
$selected = 'checked="selected"';
}
$html[] = '<input '.$selected.' type="checkbox" name="bbp_topic_tags" value="'.$tag->name.'">'.$tag->name;
}
i haven’t tested it but it should get you close
@rommelxcastro
This kind of looks normal since when you edit the topic all you see is the Text editor which will show the html tags.
Visual vs Text Editor
Also did you copy and paste the content of the whole topic page as an test, or was it just like that??
Are you using this plugin??

@casiepa
Thanks for sharing. I shall test it and give feedback soon.
Hello,
I’ve searched, really, and I didn’t find any solution before asking here.
So, first, here’s all versions used :
Wordpress : 4.2.4
BBPress : 2.5.8
Theme used : Cry Out Nirvana 1.0.6
A few other extensions are installed :
Active Directory Integration
Advanced Custom Fields
Advanced Custom Fields: Nav Menu Field
CKEditor for WordPress
Collapse-O-Matic
GD bbPress Attachments
List category posts
Members
Our Team
Post Types Order
TablePress
TablePress Extension: Row Details
Uber Login Logo
WP-Utilisateur-Avatar
I think there’s everything.
I can’t give a link to the website, at the moment it’s internal, in progress and next, it will be our new Intranet
So, here’s the issue I have.
My users make forum posts, seems to be OK.
When they try to modify a post, or if I try to modify it myself as admin, I don’t get the window to change the text but an article I made “sticky”, the article is not opened to be modified.
As an example
Link to the post : mysite.fr/index.php/foruminterneimestia/suject/test/
Button Modify : mysite.fr/index.php/foruminterneimestia/suject/test/edit/
Page I receive : mysite.fr/index.php/2015/08/10/edito/
Do you have any idea ?
Ask me any question (but the password)
Hi there, I would like to promote the forum on my home page, other than having just a call to action button to direct them to the forums page, is there a way to incorporate any element of the forums on to my home page? So like perhaps pull in the latest post created which they then can see and click through to the Forums page.
Thanks.
I noticed the problem before any replies were posted to the two threads I tested with. So I’m not sure yet if the freshness is correct for later replies. But it’s definitely off for the original post. Instead of the original freshness time being based on the time the topic is actually posted, it’s based on when the topic was saved on the back end. So it’s making new topics look older than they actually are on the public side.
If the topic has any new replies to it, the Fresness time changes when any new replies are posted. Freshness time is basically tells you the time when the Last Post was posted, not the published date.
To see the published date, go into the topic and toward the top-left of the topic by the labels Author and Posts you should see the published date.
But if the topic did have no replies, and also shows the wrong time, then I might need to report as a bug/do testing to duplicate the issue.
I am on the latest version of WordPress, but a custom theme ( developer left it half way) so I am fixing it myself.
1) The forum page shows for post the correct numbers. Example
post tite: Voices(5), Posts (6)
but inside posts it says
This topic contains 5 replies, has 5 voices
Viewing 1 post (of 1 total)
Then it shows just the main topic, not the replies to it.
This is the code for the bbpress.php template
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="page-left" class="container">
<?php
the_content();
?>
</div>
<div id="page-right">
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Seems fine to me, what do you think I missed?
Hi Robkk, thanks for the answer
Merging topics doesn’t work at allon my main forums, on any topic old or new, on any forum.
It gives me the message “There are no other topics in this forum to merge with”.
The only place that I found that works merging topics is inside group forums!
i have 2 group forums and merging topics works in both.
I haven’t test it with another theme because is a production site.
I haven’t add or replace any plugin, only updates!
Okay, then it might not be a bug in bbPress then. I do not know why I didn’t get some emails from my server, some topic notifications did go into my spam folder though, but I did not get any forum notifications. I did subscribe to a forum on this site as a fallback for testing, and I did receive the forum notifications for new topics on this site though, so it seems to work fine.
I did not try the plugin yet because I want to check things in a certain order rather than adding another new plugin to my site and another layer of complications.
The functionality of that plugin I think is going to make it into core anyway. The way that bbPress does it right now with BCC, the emails could be caught up in a spam/junk folder.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2797?cversion=0&cnum_hist=2
So my next step should be to check with Bluehost support to see why these many different notifications from bbPress, Gravity Forms and Wordfence that are being generated are not being sent to any administrator emails. I’ll get back here when I find out more.
Okay, it makes sense to possibly be a server issue since you have issues with multiple notification emails from different plugins. WHen you get sorted with your issues with the other plugins, come back to tell me how bbPress is doing.
Thanks for your time and effort in trying to help me Robkk, but I am aware of the above.
I am just making sure.
I also don’t doubt that bbPress Moderation works for most installations.
Tell me how you are set up.
Do you have anonymous posting enabled? Because after more testing Do not Moderate A topic or reply by a previously approved author does not work for anonymous posting, it still works well for registered members posting though.
I am starting to think that no alternative solutions are going to come up, which then leaves me to either try to get bbPress Moderation to work as you suggest, or write something myself.
A third option could be to wait for the maker of the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugin to come up with something, as his future plans with the bbPress Moderation Plugin Add-On appear to be to turn it into a successor for bbPress Moderation.
Yeah, you don’t have to use the bbPress moderation plugin. You can always fork it, or use any available alternatives, free or paid.
Hi,
I installed the latest version of bbPress on the latest version of WP.
Under Reply, I don’t have the combo box for the “Reply To” but a Text Field.
Nothing under Screen Options.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Marc
@matoca
Okay for some reason I am having trouble getting Forum notifications on my test site to any user except the blog owner like you said, I may have to report a bug or do more testing/discuss with the devs. And I might have also found another bug messing with this too.
The topic subscriptions work well though when I tested them.
Did you try some troubleshooting already to see if there could be another thing causing the issue?? I want to make sure before I report any kind of bug.
Troubleshooting
Just to make sure you are using the latest WordPress and bbPress?
Did you use the plugin mentioned above, Asychronous subscriptions, abd see if it fixed it?
Do other emails work on your site like new user registration, new comment, etc. ?
I have an email address for the website via a Bluehost mailbox and I have one email forwarder from that box to my home email client.
Is this something you did recently, or was it always set up like this for 2 years.
I want double notification for the moderators and I don’t mind getting triple notification.
This might be custom development.
