part of the new topic check is for duplicates , not sure why your site isn’t.
you get an error message of
‘Duplicate topic detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that.’
Hello Robin and thank you for your answer.
I made a test with only bbpress and twenty twenty one theme activated and the issue still occurs :
1) Create a post and double click on the “send” button
2) Your action creates 2 posts instead of one (the situation doesn’t seem handled by bbpress ?).
Please have a look at the following video :

I guess anyone can encounter this situation because no theme or function was active in my test. Shouldn’t that be handled by the core ?
Best regards
I am not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out here.
Every website is unique, and this doesn’t happen on my test site – I have not seen this reported elsewhere as an issue, and the code has a duplicate function check in it.
line 307 of includes/replies/functions
/** Reply Duplicate *******************************************************/
if ( ! bbp_check_for_duplicate( array( 'post_type' => bbp_get_reply_post_type(), 'post_author' => $reply_author, 'post_content' => $reply_content, 'post_parent' => $topic_id, 'anonymous_data' => $anonymous_data ) ) ) {
bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_duplicate', __( '<strong>Error</strong>: Duplicate reply detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that.', 'bbpress' ) );
}
I am not able to say why you are getting this.
Just had a thought and dug in the code further, the duplicate check doesn’t apply to those roles/users that can ‘throttle’
// No duplicate checks for those who can throttle
if ( user_can( (int) $r['post_author'], 'throttle' ) ) {
return true;
}
bbPress User Roles and Capabilities
so default Keymaster and Moderator can post duplicates
Thank you Robin for the digging in 👍
I tried to reproduce this issue with a non admin user and the error message appeared…
So I just can’t get how my users manage to duplicate their posts 😅
Anyway, as it seems to be a vicious bug, I let that go… I just have to delete those post every 3 weeks, that is not such a big deal…
Thank you for your help 🙏
