Tom,
am struggling to keep up with your testing 🙂
Ok, so can you let me have your ‘private group’ settings for
forum visibility
general settings
so that I can replicate what you are seeing
Hi Robin,
I tried inputting Hello, and received an unformatted list of our latest posts (labeled “Latest Posts”).
I tried putting MBA, a term that would normally turn up pages of results, and again received an unformatted list of our latest posts.
I tried searching names of faculty/staff members tagged in our directories and posts, and again received an unformatted list of our latest posts.
I’ve attempted to include a screenshot to show you, but my reply does not go through. I’m hoping that you’ll be able to recreate this issue so we are both seeing the same thing!
Hi Robin,
I’ve been trying to post this reply since last week and for whatever reason it hasn’t been working. So, sorry if you’ve been receiving all of them…
When I go to our site, after I’ve cleared all the caches, etc, in multiple browsers, and I see an unformatted listing of our 10 latest posts. I cannot include a screenshot-that is what has been keeping my replies from going through.
I’ve been using common search terms that would return search on our site, MBA, Daniels, Master’s Degrees, etc.
Instead, all I see is an unformatted page that has “Latest Posts” listed. Even if the search didn’t turn up results, it should still have a formatted page saying No search results.
I’m hoping you’re able to recreate this. Thanks for you help!

@robin-w Hi, I’m back! 😛 (and I haven’t forgotten about my promise to donate – I’m still waiting for my invoice to be paid!)
I’ve been testing this plugin, and although the updates seem to have improved a few things, I’m still having issues when trying to list topics.
If I look at http://www.mysite.com/topics as an administrator/keymaster, I can see all topics fine.
If I look at http://www.mysite.com/topics as any other user then I just get a white page
This appears to be the same error as before, with the query timing out due to the large amount of topics it’s trying to check privileges for.
Is there a way to use the ‘Topics Per Page’ value from bbpress as the limit on the query? I understand this might screw up the pagination slightly, but I’d rather the page count was wrong than the topics listing being unavailable.
I was looking into adding this myself, but I don’t know where I can pull the current page information from in order to set the query offset…
Do you think this would be a viable option to reduce the amount of work the database/php is doing each time?
*edit* Pagination would be an issue if I did the above wouldn’t it… Hmmmm [scratches head].
Would a JOIN sql statement be an option in order to do the matching of groups-to-users-to-topics bit while grabbing the topics, rather than grabbing all topics and then checking each one individually?
We have installed all the latest versions based on Genesis framework.
I don’t know why visiting every forum (concept) shows all created topics and not only related topics.
Did we set up something wrong?
http://academy.sepid.co/forums/
It should shows only one topic when we go down to forum.
I have tested with twentyten-theme and twentyfourteen and without any plugins. The behavior is unchanged, if I use bbpress 2.5x.
What would I like to happen?
I would like that bbpress is running like under version 2.41.
That is:
1. In the dashboard -> replies, the title is automatically written to the title box with the prefix “reply to: .. (topic title) ..”
2. This in turn causes that the permalinks include not only the ID, but – like it is defined in the WP settings – again the full title of the posts.
Why? As I had written:
1. Permalinks only with ID are not good for search engines.
2. The handling of the replies in the admin area (dashboard) is not good. If you have opened a reply, then you can no longer see at what post it belongs, because the title box is empty. How do you personally deal with that?
Do you have the ability to install bbpress version 2.41 in your test area? Then you can watch live, how version 2.41 works and what you see in the dashboard –> replies. (= title is there and permalink with title)
This is, what I want to have back!
Do you know a way to implement this again with version 2.54?

Sorry – saved a bit early.. to continue…
so apart from your dashboard display, I can see what you see.
Does your dashboard issue disappear with twentyten (which is what I am testing with) ?
And now since I can see what you see, what would you like to happen ?
Ok I’ve looked at the screen shots, basically you sent through one of the backend which showed
1. ‘no title’ against the replies in Dashboard>replies.
2. a shortened permalink eg http://www.mysite.com/forums/reply/13691/ and in the title box ‘enter title here’ in grey for an entry under 2.5.4
3. a long permalink eg http://www.mysite.com/forums/reply/items-for-sale where the reply was headed reply to: ‘items for sale’
(this to help anyone else looking at this topic!)
In testing I get the same 2 & 3, so yes the way permalinks are storing for replies has changed.
I get no problems however with the dashboard display.
I haven’t tested or used this plugin with buddypress, but this sets up private groups to prevent search and /topics revealing topics, and has widgets for recent topics and recent replies

Hi I have a problem with having members register on my website. I have set up the login widget and register page. When I do a test registration it brings me to my wordpress login page and says user registration is not allowed.
So I went to general settings and put anyone can join. When I did another test registration, it went successfully but it allowed me access to the dashboard/backend. I set the new user title as subscriber and contributor but both lead to the dashboard. How do I have the user subscribe but without access to my dashboard?
And my replies come as
http://www.mytestblog.de/blog/foren/reply/140/
Since version 2.5x…….. What’s going on?
Why is in your reply URL “topic” and not “reply”?

Hi Robin,
it seems that Stephen had no idea about this.
In the meantime I have heard by John James, that this is not a bug. It would be correct. Replies only ever had titles because WordPress forced all posts to have them until 3.7. I’m confused about that, because at bbpress 2:41 I have reply-titles with WordPress 3.9.
And you had written that your reply-titles are still there and also in the permalink (bbpress 2:54 and twentyten-theme). So I want to ask you to have a second look on it: is it really the REPLY-title in the permalink? Topic-titles I also have in the permalinks, only the replies have no title and the permalink shows only the ID.
My permalinks should contain the post NAME (not the ID) like this:
mytestblog.de/blog/foren/reply/reply-to-this-is-a-test/
bbpress 2.41 does exactly in this way!
Now – with bbpress 2.5x – the permalink is like this:
mytestblog.de/blog/foren/reply/140/
140 is the ID of the topic reply.
I would like to have it again that way as it runs under bbpress version 2.41. 🙁
Why do I want this?
1. permalink without reply-title, but only with reply-ID is not good for search engines.
2. if I open a reply-post in the admin area, there is no title “reply to: …. (topic title) …” (the title bar is empty) and I do not know to which post this reply refers. This is not good for handling the forum in practice.
Robin, would you be so kind to look again to see if it really is th REPLY-title, which you have in your permalink? I can also take a screenshot to illustrate where my problem is.
Thank you very much for your help!

When I type in anything in the search, I receive a list of ‘latest posts’ (see screen shot). I typed in MBA, which for us, a business school, is something that usually turns up many posts. Not only does it pull a ‘latest posts’ page, it’s also unformatted.
http://awesomescreenshot.com/03730e6s9f
I cleared all my caches and went to the site and tested the search for hello. It is only turning up “Latest Posts.” I’ve tried this in a few different broswers, logged in and logged out of WordPress…
The screen shot is what I’m seeing. http://awesomescreenshot.com/05430dw20f
Its’s with everything I type. I tried typing in Hello, hello, on the homepage search box and go this:
http://awesomescreenshot.com/05430dw20f
It says Latest posts and gives the most recent posts we have and isn’t formatted. I tried clearing my caches and the problem still exists.
I figured it out for anyone else who may need the answer. I added a new callback method to converter.php that checks for the old vanilla ID of the reply_to and returns the new post ID.
https://gist.github.com/stefanich/4f8f7b436b87287f44bf
Tested it, it works 🙂
I believe the issue is that users do not receive notifications when the topic is created on the back-end. If topics are created on the front end and users are subscribed to the forum they should get the notifications.
I found this previous post that describes the issue:
Users don't receive notifications for new topics created in admin
What this means in my case is that I need to instruct my keymasters or moderators to create their topics on the front end for proper notifications to happen. I have tested this and I believe it works. A pain I know, but at least there is a work-around.
Probably disable wpMandrill for bbPress notifications would be the quickest way and let WordPress’ send the emails as BCC is fully supported.
You can try the following plugin that I whipped up, I have only tested it on a local install and works for me…
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/d45948672dbf5fd580c9
That said, if you already have custom functions using the wpMandrill mandrill_payload filter in another plugin or functions.php file then updating the relevant section of that for bbPress would be the suggested route. I’m also not sure how this will affect any other templates or custom configurations you may be using either via the wpMandrill plugin config options or any options you have set in your Mandrill API/Setup/Config. (As stated, I’ve only just fired up wpMandrill to have a a quick look for the first time a couple of hours ago)
Onto the biggest issue is that the wpMandrill plugin for WordPress DOES NOT support BCC
Oops! and thanks for catching it. I tested it one bcc address and it worked. So I assumed that it works for all the email address that were sent in bcc.
Hi there,
I’m looking for a little help and guidance with the transfer of a forum.
We’ve been updating a website which runs a bbpress forum. We’ve developed the new wordpress site on a dummy domain using ‘Duplicator’ to copy the old website over and run the various theme / design updates. Whilst we have been doing this the current website has still be running.
We now need to copy the forum activity which has happened in the last 3 weeks from the current site to update the new design before transferring it all back the live domain.
Hope this makes sense!
For clarification we run:-
Wordpress 3.9.1
BBPress 2.5.4
S2Member 140614
Proper live domain:- lifeafterlondon.com
Dummy test domain:- lifeafterlondon.co.uk
look up the css in inspect element
and youll see that when you look at http://desimedicos.com/forums/view/latest-topics/
on the recent forum topics widget the id of the widget is #bbp_topics_widget-8 now
so now you would have to also add the custom css
#bbp_topics_widget-8 ul li {
border-bottom: 1px solid #F1F1F1;
}
look for changes like that on each page you have those widgets
The solution lies in : wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php
Currently it is this : $do_not_reply = '<noreply@' . ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' ) . '>';
Needs to be: $do_not_reply = '<noreply@' . str_replace("www.","",ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' )) . '>';
I got this issue on my server w the latest bbPress update. I believe the most recent ticket will fix it in the next update, but this is what we did internally and it’s working.
@shazahm1hotmailcom Did you also add 2618.4.diff to the r5409 changeset you tested?
You should not need to use one of the filters to have the correct email address, they are only there if you need to specifically override the email address.
We’d also like to have this fixed and not break any sites or backwards compatibility and are pretty sad it has at the moment 🙁
Could you explain what you mean regarding ‘revert to the previous method of send notifications’?
Site and home urls are http://www.***.com
Last test used trunk (as of 9AM PST ) and the 2618.4.diff.
