This is great question and answer. Thank you Robin. I’m always impressed by the care and time you give to the WP community! @swiss_cheese, I highly recommend that you give “bbPress Style Pack” a try. It has so much functionality, that it can seem a little overwhelming. But just try a little at a time, until you get the gist.

[@aprilschmitt27 Participant 1 year ago]

Hi Robin! Your ‘_bbp_forum_subforum_count’ workaround for “Managing Subforum Subscriptions” at a higher PHP version (8.2.12) is perfect! I think that this is same issue: the [bbp-forum-index] doesn’t display the forums and subforums on one page, as it used to with “bbp style pack”. This is okay, but not as you intended.

[@aprilschmitt27 Participant 1 year, 1 month ago]

Issue totally resolved. Thank you very much Robin for the version 5.7.0 of bbp style pack which contains the fix for the sub forum disappearance!

[@aprilschmitt27 Participant 1 year, 1 month ago]

Robin, we are still experiencing this issue in our Production site.

[@aprilschmitt27 Participant 1 year, 1 month ago]

Thank you Robin!!! Very kind of you to let me know. This is not urgent.

[@aprilschmitt27 Participant 1 year, 1 month ago]

If you prefer that instead of using this old thread, I edit or update the support request that I posted a month ago …just let me know. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/sub-forums-stop-displaying/

[@aprilschmitt27 Participant 1 year, 1 month ago]

Robin, thank you so very much for responding!

Our Sub-Forums stopped displaying a few months ago.  Although I prefer your “Style Pack” layout, users can still click through to access the sub-forums.  The difficulty is at the: WP Users > Subscriptions …the only Forum to display its children is the one, “SKIING” that hasn’t been used since last winter.  (They will start using it soon to plan trips.)

This issue was noticed after a new topic was added. Around that time I had transitioned from “bbP Toolkit”, so I don’t know if there’s an uninstalled conflict or what.  Sometimes I could get this issue to reset by changing the Sub-Forums “Visibility” setting to “Public” and then back to “Private”.  I cleared browser histories and re-saved Permalinks.  But this is only a temporary solution.

I had a very similar problem about 2 years ago and solved it by changing: bbPress Forum > Visibility from “Public” to “Private”.   But there were complaints from members about the public visibility of their posts.  So at some point I changed it back to “Private” and unexpectedly it worked fine.  But a few months ago the invisibility of Sub-Forums started back up.

I created a fresh staging version: https://staging41.wilmingtontrailclub.org/about-wtc/wtc-forums/.  Switched to WP 2022 theme and deactivated all plugins, except bbPress.  The issue still exists.  I will be extremely grateful for any of your expert help.  I’m very willing to privately share Admin and FTP access if helpful.

I’m having this issue 11 years later!!! Is there really no fix yet?

[@aprilschmitt27 Participant 1 year, 4 months ago]

It may be 8 years later, but this is extremely valuable to me @devyncjohnson. Thank you!

//Subscribe by default
function subscribed_by_default(){
echo ‘<script type=”text/javascript”>jQuery(“#bbp_topic_subscription”).prop(“checked”,”checked”);</script>’;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_theme_after_topic_form_subscriptions’,’subscribed_by_default’);
add_filter(‘bbp_theme_after_reply_form_subscription’,’subscribed_by_default’);

[@aprilschmitt27 Participant 3 years ago]

We are totally fixed!!!

[@aprilschmitt27 Participant 3 years ago]

Thank you Robin!!! Your remark: “Tick item 3 on the subscription emails tab”, fixed this issue for us too. I had yet to use this great tab before at all but the problem just appeared.

In our case, it was that the editor “link” button was unable to retain user entered hyperlinks. It’s fine online, but user entered links missing from all bbPress emails. During testing using only: WP 5.8.2, 2021 Theme (we use Kleo theme), and bbPress …it still had this issue. That seems to indicate a relationship between WP and BP.

I updated bbPress on 11/30/2021. WP update date unknown but not listed in the lasted 30 days of my backups, so it was earlier. The issue was first reported to me on 11/20, so this all points to a WP 5.8.2 change cause.

No related php error logs or jquery Migrate deprecation logs seen.

Hope this helps.

This topic has been resolved! We discovered what was causing this problem. It was not any custom code or plugin update issue. It was simply that I had changed the bbPress Forum > Visibility from “public” to “private”. Evidentially this prevents a plugin (like bbPress Toolkit) or custom code (like ours) from accessing the information.

Thank you Robin.

hardep457, I was unable to reach the person who created the original script. If you have an even remotely possible solution, it would be super awesome if you could share it.

Robin W,

Thank you very much for volunteering some thoughts. Especially that you indicating that changes this year haven’t affected the bbp_add_user_forum_subscription function. And it appears that groups_join_group is a BuddyPress function. Your reminder to turn on the debug was priceless. There was only one, unrelated notice.

I rechecked the Developer’s (Harsha Vetkatesh’s) code online and realized that he had added an updated version! At https://gist.github.com/greathmaster/e67f1ae0feb28c9ab3521b404c8e0544. I added it into a staging copy and it threw a specific error. I’m going to see if I can contact him.

Thanks again for the Forum. Our trail club uses it very frequently.

Best Regards,
~April

Hello,

I realize that this great plugin is supported by an all volunteer group. But it’s been 4 months without even a reply. I’m still holding out hope that someone has any ideas to try to get this script working again.

Thank you Robin. My apologies, as I didn’t realize that this post was replied to. We have been using WP Mail SMTP and Mailgun to manage this problem.
