Does this occur anytime you try and access the forum page?
if so, 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.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
we have 2 issues I believe :
1. An issue where IF a topic/reply contains table tags (eg. <table>, <tr> etc.) then on update the post does not save?
2. an issue where you are getting a critical error.
I would suggest we tackle these one at a time, so maybe see if we can fix the <table> issue first.
ok, I’m a bit lost as to what your testing is showing.
The essence of fault finding is taking a setup that works and finding the difference between that and one that doesn’t work.
so I have a test site working with bbpress and style pack and nothing else. If your site with that same setup doesn’t work, then we can find the difference.
If it does work, then yes adding back plugins until it fails is a good strategy, but until we are both seeing the same, then it is not doing much good?
ok, so this on my test site with just bbpress and style pack, using admin and keymaster roles publishes fine
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
hello
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
do you still get a critical error with this combination, and if so I still need the exact error it produces
so in dashboard>users you will see a column showing the bbpress role
ok, but what about the bbpress role?
thanks, and for your testing, what combination are you using?
I’m not asking you to try others levels, just getting your tests and my tests to be the same !
what are your wordpress and bbpress user levels?
eg
admin and bbp-keymaster
Subscriber and particiapnt
etc
ok, so you should have got an email saying what the specific error is, did you get this?
ok, so in the backend if I create a topic with a title of ‘test’ and this content
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
hello
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Then it publishes all fine.
Does that work for you, and if so, can you give me exact steps to recreate problem.
Also able to edit that topic so changed hello to goodbye and it updated fine
Quick question, can you update it from the front end?
So do you see all your users in
dashboard>users ?
or only some of them?
bbpress just uses the WordPress user login, so if they are registered already, they don’t need to re-register to use bbpress.
I’d try and create an account from another device that does not know your site – that would show it as your device or not.
ok, I just registered and logged in no problem, do you still have an issue?
do you have a link to a live example please?
@enkoes – thanks for that, I’ll add it to my list of bbpress compatible plugins
great – glad you are fixed !!
I suspect that hello elementor authors have now got the theme working with bbpress, so my fix is no longer necessary
style pack uses lots of different techniques to change things, and dependent on what you are wanting to change, some things might work and others not.
So if you enable style pack, but do not tick the theme support, does the ‘number of swans’ bit work? and do forums display?
If so can you give me an example of a style pack change that does not work – eg I set item x in tab y and nothing happens
sorry read you first post too fast !
I did the fix for hello elementor some while ago, and things may have changed.
ok, on my test site the forums display whether style pack is enables or not, and indeed whether the option is ticked in theme support, and it may be my fix as such is no longer doing anything.
So without style pack, what is broken in either the forums, or your posts?
Install this additional plugin
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support
and you’ll be able to set it to work
That fix in now in style pack version 6.3.7 along with the ability to change the rather useless ‘your topic/reply cannot be created at this time’ error message that users who transgress get.
That bit is in
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form item 18
