what is the FFEPremium tag ?

[@clivesmith Participant 3 weeks ago]

OK There seems to be no fixed reason that the replies are rejected, one minute it works and next it does not. I have 2 pages 1 Thank you page and 1 error page. I am running through cloudflare so I am not sure if that is causing the problem.
This code I have added to the function.php seems to be working

// 1 Check if the reply submission has missing fields & redirect to the error page
add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘rew_check_reply_submission’);

function rew_check_reply_submission() {
// Check if a reply is being submitted
if (isset($_POST[‘bbp_reply_submit’])) {
// Check if required fields are missing (e.g., content, forum, topic)
if (empty($_POST[‘bbp_reply_content’]) || !isset($_POST[‘bbp_forum_id’]) || !isset($_POST[‘bbp_topic_id’])) {
// Grab the topic ID from the form (ensure it’s valid)
$topic_id = !empty($_POST[‘bbp_topic_id’]) ? intval($_POST[‘bbp_topic_id’]) : 0;

// Redirect to the error page with the topic ID
wp_redirect(site_url(‘/reply_error/?topic_id=’ . $topic_id));
exit; // Stop the script execution after the redirect
}
}
}

// 2️ Modify reply redirection: If pending, go to moderation page
add_filter(‘bbp_new_reply_redirect_to’, ‘rew_pending_check’, 30, 3);

function rew_pending_check($reply_url, $redirect_to, $reply_id) {
$status = get_post_status($reply_id);
$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id($reply_id);

// If the reply is pending moderation, redirect to the moderation page
if ($status === ‘pending’) {
return site_url(‘/moderation/?moderation_pending=’ . $topic_id);
}

return $reply_url; // Otherwise, return the usual redirect URL
}

// 3 Create a shortcode [mod-return] to display “Return to Topic” on error and moderation pages
add_shortcode(‘mod-return’, ‘mod_return’);

function mod_return() {
// Get the topic ID from the URL (works for both error and moderation pages)
$topic_id = !empty($_GET[‘topic_id’]) ? intval($_GET[‘topic_id’]) : (!empty($_GET[‘moderation_pending’]) ? intval($_GET[‘moderation_pending’]) : 0);

// If a valid topic ID is found, generate the “Return to Topic” button
if ($topic_id) {
$topic_url = get_permalink($topic_id);

if ($topic_url) {
return ‘<div class=”mod-return” style=”text-align:center; margin-top:20px;”>
<a href=”‘ . esc_url($topic_url) . ‘”
style=”color:white; background-color:tomato; padding:12px 20px;
border-radius:5px; text-decoration:none; font-size:16px;”>
⬅ Return to Topic

</div>’;
}
}

// If no valid topic ID found, return nothing or a message
return ‘<p style=”text-align:center; color:red;”>No topic found to return to.</p>’;
}

OK so just to let you know this is what I have and it seems to be working, There does not seem to be any fixed reason that the replies get rejected without warning. I am running cloudflare so I cannot rule that out.
I have two pages, a thank you page and an error page, this code is in my function.php which seems to be working.

// 1 Check if the reply submission has missing fields & redirect to the error page
add_action('template_redirect', 'rew_check_reply_submission');

function rew_check_reply_submission() {
    // Check if a reply is being submitted
    if (isset($_POST['bbp_reply_submit'])) {
        // Check if required fields are missing (e.g., content, forum, topic)
        if (empty($_POST['bbp_reply_content']) || !isset($_POST['bbp_forum_id']) || !isset($_POST['bbp_topic_id'])) {
            // Grab the topic ID from the form (ensure it's valid)
            $topic_id = !empty($_POST['bbp_topic_id']) ? intval($_POST['bbp_topic_id']) : 0;
            
            // Redirect to the error page with the topic ID
            wp_redirect(site_url('/reply_error/?topic_id=' . $topic_id));
            exit; // Stop the script execution after the redirect
        }
    }
}

// 2️ Modify reply redirection: If pending, go to moderation page
add_filter('bbp_new_reply_redirect_to', 'rew_pending_check', 30, 3);

function rew_pending_check($reply_url, $redirect_to, $reply_id) {
    $status = get_post_status($reply_id);
    $topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id($reply_id);

    // If the reply is pending moderation, redirect to the moderation page
    if ($status === 'pending') {
        return site_url('/moderation/?moderation_pending=' . $topic_id);
    }

    return $reply_url; // Otherwise, return the usual redirect URL
}

// 3 Create a shortcode [mod-return] to display "Return to Topic" on error and moderation pages
add_shortcode('mod-return', 'mod_return');

function mod_return() {
    // Get the topic ID from the URL (works for both error and moderation pages)
    $topic_id = !empty($_GET['topic_id']) ? intval($_GET['topic_id']) : (!empty($_GET['moderation_pending']) ? intval($_GET['moderation_pending']) : 0);

    // If a valid topic ID is found, generate the "Return to Topic" button
    if ($topic_id) {
        $topic_url = get_permalink($topic_id);

        if ($topic_url) {
            return '<div class="mod-return" style="text-align:center; margin-top:20px;">
                        <a href="' . esc_url($topic_url) . '" 
                           style="color:white; background-color:tomato; padding:12px 20px; 
                                  border-radius:5px; text-decoration:none; font-size:16px;">
                            ⬅ Return to Topic
                        </a>
                    </div>';
        }
    }

    // If no valid topic ID found, return nothing or a message
    return '<p style="text-align:center; color:red;">No topic found to return to.</p>';
}

Hi Robin
Thank you, I have now tracked it down to the following code in my functions.php

add_filter (‘bbp_new_reply_redirect_to’ , ‘rew_pending_check’, 30 , 3) ;

function rew_pending_check ($reply_url, $redirect_to, $reply_id) {
$status = get_post_status ($reply_id) ;
$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id );
if ($status == ‘pending’ ) {
$reply_url = ‘/moderation/?moderation_pending=’.$topic_id ;
}
return $reply_url ;
}

add_shortcode (‘mod-return’ , ‘mod_return’ ) ;

function mod_return () {
if (!empty($_REQUEST[‘moderation_pending’] )) {
$topic_url = get_permalink( $_REQUEST[‘moderation_pending’] );
echo ‘<div class=”mod-return”><h2 style=”color:Tomato;”>Return to topic</h2></div>’;
}
}

just got to work out how to bring up a different page if the post is not saved, dont warry go and have a nice holiday you deserve it.
I will post the answer when I work it out.

Regards
Clive

The thank you message is a page with a permalink of moderation (I last changed it 5 years ago ) the title is Thank you. I cannot find where / how that is called.I think it was introduced because none of the replies are published they all go to moderation.

On the style pack 16 is ticked if I untick I do not get any thank you message.

I have tried ticking 17 and adding a message but if there is an error like they leave out the email address it just goes to the top of the topic but no message shows.

The website is wateratairports.com

Hi Robin,
Thanks for replyig.
I copied the same text from notepad into the reply, using firefox, the first time it failed the second time it worked. What I do not to understand is why if it works I get a thank you message but if it fails it just goes to the top of the topic. all the replies are hold for moderaion.
Is there a way to check that the reply was written to the database then report back to the user.

[@clivesmith Participant 3 weeks, 3 days ago]

Any ideas please,

I cannot find where the thank you page is called.

Hi Robin,
Thank you for replying.
I did find something that was said years ago about not putting the topic title into the reply record, not sure why.
So I create a record in the meta table, which is a custom field in the reply form using the following code and add the topic title as a custom field to the custom message in the Fs Poster plugin I am using to post to social media.

function check_and_populate_top_title_on_edit() {
    global $pagenow;

    // Check if we are in the post.php page (edit post/reply screen) and in the admin area.
    if ($pagenow === 'post.php' && is_admin()) {
        // Get the post ID from the URL query string.
        $post_id = isset($_GET['post']) ? intval($_GET['post']) : 0;

        // If we have a valid post ID, proceed.
        if ($post_id) {
            $post = get_post($post_id);

            // Ensure we're working with a 'reply' post type.
            if ($post && $post->post_type === 'reply') {

                // Check if the post title is empty.
                if (empty($post->post_title)) {
                    // Get the parent post ID.
                    $parent_post_id = $post->post_parent;

                    // Check if a parent post exists.
                    if ($parent_post_id) {
                        // Get the parent post data.
                        $parent_post = get_post($parent_post_id);

                        // If the parent post exists and has a title, update the 'top_title' custom field.
                        if ($parent_post && !empty($parent_post->post_title)) {
                            // Add or update the 'top_title' meta field with the parent post's title.
                            update_post_meta($post_id, 'top_title', $parent_post->post_title);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

add_action('load-post.php', 'check_and_populate_top_title_on_edit');

Hi,
Does anyone know why the post_title is blank in the reply ?
If I populate the reply post_title with the title from the topic is it going to give me problems ?

[@clivesmith Participant 5 months, 1 week ago]

Hi,
Still trying to sort this, When I create a new reply is there a way to create a custom field of the topic title?
I see there are lots of custom fields but not the topic title.

Hi,
Thanks for replying, I am not sure how to check the template but I have looked at the page source in the browser and checked that there is an H1 tags and all pages show it is there. I am using the Astra Theme.

[@clivesmith Participant 11 months, 3 weeks ago]

Hi Robin,
Works great, thank you

[@clivesmith Participant 11 months, 3 weeks ago]

Hi Robin,
That looks great, I will try it.
Thank you
Clive

[@clivesmith Participant 1 year, 4 months ago]

Yes I will, it reduces the size on the desktop as well but most of the users are on mobiles.
Thank again for you help.

[@clivesmith Participant 1 year, 4 months ago]

I have found what I think is it, I put in the change
}
.bbp-the-content-wrapper {
width: 80%;
height: 100% !important
}
which does bring it all onto the screen but I get a scroll bar down the right hand side it does not do anything but it is there.
does what I have done make any sense ?

[@clivesmith Participant 1 year, 4 months ago]

I do yes but I have purged the cache and set cloudflare to development mode which turns of cache, could you try again please.

[@clivesmith Participant 1 year, 4 months ago]

yes I now have both of them there

[@clivesmith Participant 1 year, 4 months ago]

I had

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.bsp-topic-rules {
width : 60% !important
}
}

in the bbp style pack>custom css

I have tried adding the new one, but it is the same, I also tried removing the other one

[@clivesmith Participant 1 year, 4 months ago]

I am adding it to the theme additional css

[@clivesmith Participant 1 year, 4 months ago]

That does not seem to be working

Thanks

[@clivesmith Participant 1 year, 4 months ago]

Hi,
I have had this problem for 3years using the twentytwelve theme, for various reasons I am just changing to the Astra theme and still getting the same problem.
It would be nice to get it sorted.

[@clivesmith Participant 1 year, 10 months ago]

Hi, Sorry I found it it is

function bbp_increase_topic_per_page( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘posts_per_page’] = 150 ;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args’, ‘bbp_increase_topic_per_page’ );

If anyone needs it

[@clivesmith Participant 1 year, 10 months ago]

Hi,
I use functionfrom Robin,
function bbp_increase_subforums_per_page( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘posts_per_page’] = 100 ;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_forum_get_subforums_parse_args’, ‘bbp_increase_subforums_per_page’ );

Any ideas how I can increase the number of topics per page ?, it is set at 100 I need to increase this to 150, please
