Thanks Ian for your efforts and taking the time to look at it.

I’ve updated to the latest v1.8. Unfortunately this problem persists for me, although the behaviour has changed slightly.

I’ve created multiple unmoderated topics as a test:
– “My first topic”
– “My second topic”
– “My third topic”

In this instance I only approve topic 3, and leave the previous two topics unmoderated.

If I then go to the forum list and I select “My first topic”, it displays the title and content of topic 3, instead of displaying topic 1 with “awaiting moderation” as the content. I still think this problem has to do with a lack of permalinks.

This is probably more a bug with bbPress itself, but when I first create a new topic, the URL created for this topic is https://www.website.com/groups/my-test-group/forum/topic//#post-51377, which is a valid and reachable link. But the URL from the forum topic list is https://www.website.com/groups/my-test-group/forum/topic/ which is empty.

If only there was a way for the forum topic list page to link to the topic’s permalink URL by default (www.website.com/groups/my-test-group/forum/topic/my-third-topic), but if the topic permalink doesn’t exist (because the topic is still pending) then link to the ID number URL (www.website.com/groups/my-test-group/forum/topic//#post-51377)

I’m not sure if this will help you, but if you are using bbPress alongside BuddyPress, there is a BuddyPress Moderation plugin. That plugin allows users to flag posts, and then the administrator can block particular posts.

On our website we don’t allow users self-moderate, so I really like that bbPressModeration only displays content that has been approved by the administrator.

Hi Ian,

Is this something that is fixable for the latest version of bbPress?

Thanks Stephen, was just about to post the link to that bbPress trac ticket

Hi imath, that worked really well, thank you!

Is there a chance this functionality could become part of the next update? I’m sure there would be other people who would find it very useful also

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for your suggestion, it worked!

Actually I initially had no spaces between the two email addresses, like it says in the example (e.g. [email protected],[email protected],etc.) and that didn’t send any emails at all.

But once I put a space between the email addresses after each comma (e.g. [email protected], [email protected], etc.) it is now working! It sends to multiple administrators now.

I’m using version 5.3.5

Thanks for your help!

Thanks agelonwl, I tried the other email options but unfortunately it didn’t solve the problem

I think I’ve been able to partially fix this now. There were issues with my web hosting, that have now been fixed.

But I’m having problems with it not sending notification emails to multiple administrators.

If I type in multiple email addresses in the format “[email protected], [email protected]”, none of the email accounts receive anything. But if I removed say [email protected], so that there’s only one email address, the email send works.

Thank you Milan, the new update has fixed the problem!

I’ve added the code above to the /code/share.php file, but now I receive the following error:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function d4p_bbpress_get_user_roles() in …/wp-content/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/code/admin.php on line 128.”

I’m still not able to get into the settings page. Is there a way to fix this?

I have the same problem and error message when I go to Plugins > Installed Plugins > GD bbPress Attachments > Settings

Yes, it worked! Emails are correctly sent to subscribers of a topic only after it has been approved by an administrator. That’s amazing Ian, thank you!

Thanks Ian

The other way to do it is to send the email to subscribers regardless of whether the post status is published or pending, but don’t show the content of the post Perhaps just a generic message to say “There’s a new topic (or reply) in <forum name>. Log in to view it”. But the problem with this approach is that the user might log in to view the post, which has no content because it is still under moderation.

I agree that hooking bbp_notify_subscribers to the Publish button and show the content or excerpt of the post would be the much more elegant solution, but I’m not sure how to go about this.

Hi Ian,

I have tried disabling all plugins except for bbPress, Buddypress, and bbPressModeration, but I still have the same problem. I think the issue is with WordPress core and lack of permalinks for unmoderated topics.

Example of moderated/approved topic link
https://www.mywebsite.com/groups/my-test-group/forums/topic/my-test-topic/

Example of unmoderated topic link
https://www.mywebsite.com/groups/my-test-group/forums/topic

Unmoderated topics have no permalink, so you get a default draft page when you try to view it. Once the topic has been moderated and approved, the permalink for that topic gets created, so you have the correct URL for that topic. But I can live with that, it’s fine with me ??

Thanks again for all the help, Ian. Your plugin works very well and should definitely be included in the next bbPress core, lots of people would find its functions very useful

I still notice something strange happening with new unmoderated topics.

When you click to view the full unmoderated topic, instead of displaying the topic title, topic author, and “Awaiting moderation” as the content, it displays the topic title as “Auto Draft”, and the topic author and content is blank.

I tried logging on as the administrator, and the title is still “Auto Draft” with no other content.

But new unmoderated replies are working perfectly
