yep – that is what I am planning – be back when I’ve done it

[@robin-w Moderator 1 day, 1 hour ago]

quick response, I’m a UK farmer, so out a lot of the daytime !

As a ‘quick and dirty’ solution you would need to create the topic

Then in a new item I’ll add in the dashboard enter the post ID and the Topic ID

This will then create a new reply.

It will keep the existing comments.

from memory bbpress uses ‘anonymous’ for any user that no longer exists, but if you create a ‘deleted user’ I might be able to add that to the code

[@robin-w Moderator 1 day, 2 hours ago]

ok if you can wait a day or 2, then I’ll write a small plugin that will do that, most of the code already exists.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 day, 4 hours ago]

Ok, I am just a volunteer who helps out here, I am not a bbpress author, but I have written a number of bbpress related plugins.

I also took over a defunct plugin called

Post Comments as bbPress Topics

I did not write this, I just did enough coding to get it working again.

if you are code savvy, then function build_topic on line 485 of index.php should give you some code that you could maybe use in a plugin or use the code snippets plugin.

otherwise if you only have a few posts from which you want 2, you could enable it convert, disable it and then delete the topics (posts) you don’t want.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 day, 5 hours ago]

yes you are right, it does do that if the topic id is set to 0.

I’m pretty sure that this has not always been the case, so I suspect a newer version of software (say WordPress or php) is doing this.

I will take a look when I get a moment, but if you create a reply in the backend, then it must know what topic it is attached to, so you need to fill in the topic id.

If you complete a topic ID then it all works.

I suspect that very few people ever create a reply in the backend – users should not have access to this, so it is only moderators and keymasters that can see this – as without a topic ID it is pointless, and you would almost always be in the front end when you spotted that you needed to post a reply.

so thankyou for reporting this, and if you have a compelling reason to need to use the backend, do come back.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 week ago]

clicking on another users profile in the forums should take you to their profile. Is this not the case for your site?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 week, 1 day ago]

I suspect it works well with Kadence, but I am just a volunteer here, and don’t have the time to find out what combination works.

I presume you tried the fix in

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support

Otherwise I have no specific theme to recommend as bbpress works with almost all themes I have seen.

I have seen it working for i-max and flash to name just 2

[@robin-w Moderator 1 week, 1 day ago]

ok, so every website is a unique combination of themes, plugins, settings and content.

Whilst WordPress has a string set of protocols that authors use, different themes and plugins may clash.

I have just tried Kadence and get an error of ‘No matching template found’.

Sorry but the instructions work for a default WordPress theme.

If you have got the site working, then great. If you still have problems, then can you ask Kadence if they can help.

Do come back if you get further info.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 week, 2 days ago]

on shortcodes this the list of bbpress ones

https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/

[@robin-w Moderator 1 week, 2 days ago]

ok what theme are you using?

[@robin-w Moderator 2 weeks, 1 day ago]

bbPress Notify (No-Spam) works fine as far as I know

[@robin-w Moderator 2 weeks, 3 days ago]

bbpress is a ‘light’ plugin and you will need an additional plugin to ensure admins get notified

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>moderation

for how to set this up

[@robin-w Moderator 2 weeks, 5 days ago]

ok, so you should get an email saying what the critical error is, that is what we need to see

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks, 2 days ago]

sorry, not one I have seen before, could be many reasons including other plugins and themes – Unless it reoccurs I’d suggest you just enjoy your site.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 weeks, 4 days ago]

ok, no easy way to diagnose this as forum requires membership.

I’d suggest 2 things :

1. post a topic to this forum and see if that changes
2. Delete the forum (as it has no topics) and create a new one with the same name and see if that fixes.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month ago]

I am not a bbpress author, I am simply someone trying to help out.

The slugs do whatever the plugin author codes them to do, and this plugin does not do that.

You can add this additional plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes

and you can see a shortcode you can use in a page

[bsp-profile]

with options for wording and edit

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month ago]

There are individual slugs eg for user fred:

https://bindesboell.com/fora/user/fred

and

https://bindesboell.com/fora/user/fred/replies/

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month ago]

Booking af festsalen 19. juni 2027?

Udlejning / booking

https://bindesboell.com/fora/?v=7885444af42e

seem to work fine

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month ago]

I think you are using the theme twentytwenyfive.

If so you need this additional plugin

Enable bbPress for Block Themes

or use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 1 week ago]

🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

but still astonished how something like this effect can happen

I’m just a moderator here – an unpaid volunteer, I’m not a bbpress author.

There will be a reason for it, and it is almost certainly site specific, no problem on my test site, and with 100,000 installations of bbpress not one I have seen or heard of in 14 years of supporting bbpress.

The code above is not a ‘fix’, it is just a way to get bbpress to ignore the setting, which allows your site to work.

Anyway glad you are fixed 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

that would be worth trying.

untested, but you could first try

add_filter ('bbp_use_autoembed', 'rew_turn_off', 20,1 ) ;

function rew_turn_off ($value) {
	return false ;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

Thanks, and yes I was considering whether a function in your child theme might be affecting this.

so since you can test easily (that is untick the option, save and see if it remains unticked), then my next step would be to see what could be affecting this.

So my next step would be that it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

thanks, just tried that with Enable bbPress for Block Themes and twenty twenty five, and no problems.

What theme are you using? and do you have any customized functions?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

ok, sorry to sound like I do not believe you, I do, but I need to be very sure what is happening especially as we are using different languages 🙂

so to summarise:

Changing any OTHER item in settings>forums works and saves ok
changing settings>forums>Auto-embed links to untick this and then save – It still shows as ticked

Yes?
