Yes, control means prevent. I’d like people with different types of memberships to be able to access different forums. I can exercise control based on the URL, but the fact that the topic URLs are not “tied” to the forum URLs means that people can go directly to the topics (which can be easy to guess) even if they can’t access the forum directly.
The ‘memberships’ I’m talking about are MemberPress subscriptions. MP actually has a strategy for controlling bbPress forum access, but (AFAICT) it doesn’t quite work with the degree of control I would like.
I don’t understand ALL the ins and outs of either MemberPress or bbPress, just for the record. What I’m doing here is partially a learning exercise. But I actually do have a practical application on the physics site my wife and I run: PhysicsCafe.org.
Actually, I’m specifically looking to link some of the forums to memberpress memberships in a better way than I’m currently doing it. What I’m really hoping is to find other folks using both MemberPress and bbPress to discuss this with. It was kind of a shot in the dark 🙂
Two sites that I’m involved with run bbPress with PHP 7.3.16 and one with PHP 7.3.19. There haven’t been any problems with PHP that I’m aware of. For whatever that’s worth.
Robin, thank you. 2 and 3 make sense and I appreciate knowing that 3356 is the one to watch. (I do understand that there is a lot of work to do and I am by no means complaining. Only trying to understand the situation.)
About 1: So if I understand you correctly, this is just a “text change” and the intent is to display the last activity of any sort (freshness?) at the main forum level when the bug is fixed. Is that correct? I’ve seen some discussion about “last post” vs “last reply” and I think what I’m calling “freshness” might also be called “last reply.” So I guess I was worried that I may not quite understand the terminology, or how it’s “supposed to work.”
Sorry, I guess this is still an open ticket, right?

Still not working for me either, bbPress 2.6.4.
I’m having this problem too (on v 2.6.3). Running the “repair” scripts above does fix the freshness, but you have to run them every time there’s a new reply. So there must still be a bug there, right?
“This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress”
(And it was last updated four years ago)
This seems to be the story with a bunch of “like button” plugins. I wonder why?
Thanks @w3215. I had been just planning to link down to the bottom of the page where the new topic stuff is. But I think what you’re suggesting is probably a better idea.
Thanks Robin. This looks like a great plugin. However, at least for the time being, I’m more interested in trying to learn how things work, and how I can modify the behaviour myself. Unless anyone else has suggestions, I’ll keep digging.
That worked great. Thank you very much!
