This is why I have switched off moderation:
// Switch off bbPress Forum moderation
add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );
Add that to your child theme functions.php or a snippet.
See, now that I added that new topic in one of my forums, THAT has triggered an update of the master list! But when I added a reply to an existing topic it did not.
Ugh!
I have just attached an image using the GD Attachments and it is fine. This was a new topic as a standard user. But bear in mind I have switched moderation off due to its:
1/ lack of telling the user a reply has gone to moderation which only leaves them stressed out.
2/ lack of informing the moderators that topics/replies are in ending and need to be addressed (even though WP discussion settings has specific setting to notify moderators)
I can comment on this one. I do have the “attach media” GD plugin but not tested it. We don’t use WordPress add media here. We use the tinymce insert image and put a link it.
As previously mentioned yesterday, I can’t insert videos anymore if not admin because of the escaping of the HTML in the source tag which is crippling.
In most cases this is what has been happening for me. This is why I mentioned previously that the forum here on bbPress in not geared up to use those categories. It just shows a forum with topics.
Oops!
I am NOW finding again that it is still not updating.
This time I added a reply to an existing post. The only place where the freshness is guaranteed to be accurate is the forum index page for the topic. The category index page is not correct and the master forums index page is not correct. I had to run the tool again to update the freshness.
check you wordpress discussion settings and how many links it will trigger a reply to go pending.
Check your pending posts / replies.
OK, I am not finding again that it is still not updating. So it must have been a fluke with the cache idea … although I still think it can cause issues.
Possibly. Just giving my finding. Can you be sure that your domain provide is not doing server caching without you even knowing? Don’t know if that is possible.
I can confirm that for me it is a cache plugin issue. With WP Super Cache if I delete the cache and regen my forum home page all the freshness is correct. No need to run any tools to get it right.
But as mentioned before, I did not use to have this problem. It seems that the home forum page is not being signaled to refresh the cache. Don’t really know how it works. I have raised the issue with WP Super Cache too.
In my case not every post was going to moderation. It was just the fact that the feature was working right as in it was now detecting link counts. That was not working before.
There is another discussion setting to send all comments for moderation but I don’t think BBPress checks that setting.
Also, BBPress does not inform admin by email when post goes to moderation. That would make sense to be a option. You are getting there. Cool!
Awesome indeed. I did not put two and two together. But then I noticed what it said on the screen:
Customise your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.
Doh!
I forgot which document it was now. 🙂
I understand. Fortunately for me my public forum is in the first category. All others are private so I am not affected my your scenario. Phew!
I gothca! I had to go to the Forum Settings and change the root slug to match my page.
Sorted!!
Thank you.
Thanks. But I am not sure what you are suggesting I do?
When I started out setting up bbPress I understood I had to create a page to list the forums. So I created a page (support-forums) and inserted this shortcode:
[bbp-forum-index]
Are you telling me I don’t actually need this page on my website or need to use this shortcode? #confused
I am kind of giving up now. It won’t work. 🙁 Thanks for your help. I think I must raise a ticket.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have added the code, and got into private browser mode. And the same results sadly.
I am afraid that the problem is still there. Moderation has now been switched off.
Shall I raise a trac ticket?
I don’t want to jump the gun but I deactivated the “Performance Cache” plugin and installed and activated the “WP Super Cache” plugin and it seems that my freshness is working properly now. I will keep an eye on it.
