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,
I’ve been trying to post this reply since yesterday 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, this is what I see:
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!

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.

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.

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.
Thinking on this some more, as it is a client site I presume it has it’s own domain name.
Is the clients domain name being used for the notifications with 2.5.1?
eg noreply@example.com
As you pointed out above that both the site URL and home URL use www and your emails are showing using the Bluehost’s subdomain box557.bluehost.com so is your site and home URL’s http://www.box557.bluehost.com?
And for completeness did your last test use changeset r5409 and 2618.4.diff?
Stephen – tested 2618, still no emails.
We going to stick with 2.5.1 for now.
Robin, thank you very much for your feedback, so it does not feel so alone. 🙁
I have two test areas at two different hosters. Both WP and bbpress is installed and runs identically with the same theme and – at the moment – without other plugins. BOTH give only up to version 2.41 the reply-title automatically in the title bar. I have deinstalled and installed several times versions after 2.50. My hope was that the problem only occurs with one of the two webservers and so I could find a trace, but the problem is in both installations.
All versions after 2.41 (without plugins and with WP standard theme) have this issue.
It would be great if Stephen would stop by. He would certainly have an idea on what I could still keep trying.
Thanks again for your feedback!!
I’m here, but this is beyond my technical knowledge – I was hoping that Stephen would pick this up, but he hasn’t – he may be away, or think that I have it under control 🙂
Ok, so with no other plugins and 2.54 you have this problem??
I have 2.54 with twentyten and no issues, permalinks are topic title.
So must be peculiar to your site – so something needs setting/resetting, and obviously permalinks aren’t the answer as they’re working with wordpress. So bbpress is not playing nicely.
How much of a test area do you have that you can try stuff in?
Eg as on this page – this is a link to http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/users/vicki/replies/page/2/ but it redirects to http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/users/vicki/replies/ Why does it redirect? I can’t figure it out.
I’m not sure quite how to start troubleshooting this. I’ve re-saved the permalinks and the profile on the top is just added via the bbp_template_before_user_details hook. I don’t know if the user topics have the same problem as no one’s started >50 topics.
It would actually be really helpful to know if this is just me or a bug but I don’t have anything set up to test it – this forum is BuddyPress and uses those user profiles, I think (BuddyPress works! I might start there).
Thanks!
Mandrill complains that the format isn’t an email address and fails validation.
The issue I am presuming here is that that the from address is being generated as noreply@www.example.com, we are also now stripping the www as most setups won’t include a www alias for their mail server configuration.
If you test this and run into any issues please let us know. 🙂
Hey Robin, thanks for your reply
I followed step 8 exactly as they said. I renamed the following files to bbpress.php
content-rightsidebar.php – when I did this both the /forums and /forums/forum/test-forum/ became very distorted – as if no theme was present.
I tried the same with
page-template-blog-full-content.php
page-template-blog-image-large.php
page-template-blog-image-medium.php
Again /forums doesn’t display properly. And /forums/forum/test-forum/ works like usual.
Is there any way to completely skip the forums index? I don’t see why I would need multiple forums when I can have 1 main forum with different topics.
http://www.meowmethod.com/forums/ – does not work
http://www.meowmethod.com/forums/forum/test-forum/ – works
Shane you should be able to test the updated solution in 2618 now if you like 😉
It looks like the issue is compounded by
// Setup the From header
$headers[] = 'From: ' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . ' ' . $do_not_reply;
as well. Mandrill complains that the format isn’t an email address and fails validation. Not sure if this is a change in the latest bbPress update but I had to modify that as well.
Running a few tests, it looks like the new BCC setup continues to work as expected through Mandrill.
I just found myself in this situation as well, took me a while to figure out what happened but you’re right when it comes to wpMandrill. I’ve just made the change a few minutes ago by hard-coding an email address Mandrill knows about, but I’m not sure how it’s going to react to BCC’ing all the recipients. Have you had any luck in testing/verifying it still works?
