So this is what I understand from this thread so far, to provide clarity moving forwards:

1. Dynamic reply box that opens next to post replying to in forum is actually already a feature of bbpress, but not for BuddyPress group forums.
2. Some themes seem to not engage this functionality and the way to fix that is to copy the reply.js file into a folder called js that is at the root of child theme.
3. It works with visual editor

So the only problem is that it does not work for Buddypress Group forums. However, @robkk mentioned, earlier in this thread, a patch he made. But he has not been active on these forums for over a year.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2974
It is pretty easy to workaround this issue as well, since all you have to do is enqueue the javascript with a different conditional or enqueue it sitewide, but doing it sitewide might cause another issue somewhere.
Here I just added a bbpress-functions.php file to a twentysixteen child theme. I edited out the conditional causing the issues with groups. You can test this on my test site as well.
You would have to remove the file later if the trac tickets patch I linked to is committed and you are using version 2.6 of bbPress, so that you can have the file enqueued on the pages where it is needed.

The trac ticket he mention seems to be resolved yet it’s not working for BP group forums. The link to the code on cloudup is broken.

So that’s the summary of where we are at on this thread… the big question is, does anyone have any insight or can help with enabling the dynamic reply box to BP group forums topics?

You’re welcome, great!

WooCommerce Memberships: bbPress Integration

Is this the plugin you are using?

Also, just checking, are you using Buddypress? Are these forums in a Buddypress group? That can sometimes cause integration issues.

[MBV]

The links that aren’t working, are they consistently not working? Can you provide an example of that

Also, try going to Settings> Permalinks and allow that page to simply load. That helps refresh links and can help with broken links. Then test links that aren’t working again.

I am somewhat familiar with that WC Memberships. How do you restrict pages and has the plugin ever worked as you expected? I think you might want to ask their support about it as well.

Also, re links not working, have you tried using the repair tool? Go to Tools>Forums>Repair

Otherwise, can you provide an example page where non-members shouldn’t be able to access?

@tkserver It wasn’t possible to add the reply box dynamically to the actual forum page though?

[MBV]

It’s because you have this conflicting CSS in your stylesheet, line 3023

.comment-list .edit-link, .reply {
    position: absolute;
    right: 20px;
    top: 22px;
}

Not sure if I can help but I have just a couple questions to help people to troubleshoot with you.

1. How are you restricting forums -are you using a restrict plugin?

…sometimes when admin is logged out, the post doesn’t even show up when trying to go to it (even on the non-premium, unrestricted forums).

2. If restrict plugin is deactivated, do things still behave unexpectedly?

[MBV]

@tkserver Wow, so I just joined up to your ute website to check out the homepage you mentioned… I see that users can reply directly to the forum feed displayed on the homepage. That is very good, thanks for sharing!

That’s not a Buddypress activity feed is it? It would be great if that functionality could be added to the Buddypress activity feed somehow.

Thanks @netweb, I have submitted that ticket that now: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3201

Oh, wait… there was no solution to having ajax reply for buddypress group forum reply?

What about just for non-BP bbpress forum reply? Is ajax reply possible?

[MBV]

How did you guys enable ajax for buddypress group forum?
That link to https://cloudup.com/czqFBqJE8TE is expired so I can’t see the code that was edited. Are you able to add it again here?
