    Unfortunately this is part of WordPress’s mission to make WordPress totally unusable for new users, whilst experienced users will continue to use the myriad of already existing site builder plugins which do the job much better !!

    If you want to continue to use the twentytwentytwo theme, the best I can suggest is that you work through this guide

    How to Edit WordPress Sidebar in Twenty Twenty-two Theme?

    what theme are you using?

    @robin-w

    it looks like youzify from that error log (but cannot guarantee).

    I’d suggest you try deactivating youzify as a test and see if the error diappears.

    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

    Then come back

    so did you do the plugin test ?

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>quotes

    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.

    the error message is usually longer, if you have more can you post the full error

    I’ve zeroed in on the problem it’s “Forum Moderators” that is conflicting.

    is this a plugin?

    ok to fix this you need to find some commonality.

    so

    image size,
    image type (jpeg,png etc)
    particular users
    users with particular role
    how often – 1 in 100, 1 in 2?
    time of day

    etc.

    It could of course just be loading timing out due to a user’s computer being slow at that moment, internet slow at time of upload, server backing up, or just a glitch. Computers are like that.

    so start by getting user to try again with the same image, that will eliminate lots of stuff if it works second time.

    sorry, this support forum is for bbpress issues, your query refers to wordpress registration login, which bbpress just uses, but is not involved in

    great – glad you are fixed

    images in posts will be seen as links, so maybe look at

    dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation>no. links

    I am guessing that you have some form of moderation switched on 🙂

    @jimmyt53 – thanks

    I’ll try and work up some code in the next couple of days

    @robin-w

    Check & Log Email

    as first step

    then maybe amend sending email address which can be the culprit

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

    thanks for that – it all helps me decide what route to go.

    So wordpress has several states, these include draft, publish and trash. You can then permanently delete – this gets rid of them from the database, which makes it faster for lookups. Given the power of servers nowadays, many sites will have no problem with a significant database, so permanently deleting may not speed up your site, but is cleaner if you are sure you never want them back.

    However your post does give a further alternate that I was not imtending, but might be your solution. If you create a ‘hidden’ forum, then this is only visible to moderators and keymasters. So instead of using a plugin that I write, you could simply move topics into that hidden forum

    so

    dashboard>forums>add forum> call it what you like but in forum attributes (top right) and set visibility to hidden

    then for each topic

    dashboard>topics>all topics>edit topic>topic attributes (top right) and just change the forum it belongs to to the new hidden one.

    All – let me just clarify that I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen who helps out here, I am not a bbpress author !!


    @craigcotner
    & @iqfy- trashing topics or replies calls a standard WordPress function which checks for comments and media on each post before trashing. This involves a database lookup to check whether anything in those tables needs deleting and it is this that seems to be taking the time and making you both time out. Topics and replies don’t have comments or media that is attached in that way, so these steps are not needed.

    Now trashing a reply is fairly easy, replies don’t hold any data that needs referencing elsewhere that we need to worry about.

    But Topics have engagements and subscriptions to be gone through.

    so if I wrote some code to allow you to delete a numbered topic, this could use a quicker method to permanently delete all the replies, and then use the proper function to delete the topic.

    And as long as the topic or reply it is not latest activity, then we can maybe skip the step that needs to recalculate what the lastest activity now needs to be.

    That should prevent timeouts I hope.

    SO 2 things here

    1. any topic/reply being got rid of should not be the ‘latest activity’ in the forum – but I’m guessing if the topic is still getting replies and therefore ‘hot’ then you would not be deleting it
    2. this would be deleting it a numbered topic at a time, so you would look up the topic and then in the dashboard there would be an option to enter that topic number to trash it.

    Does that sound as if it would work for you?


    @jimmyt53
    – not sure how easily I’d be able to fix that, but I’ll think about it as I progress. so

    1. how would you want to pick topics for deletion – by ‘older than’ presumably? and
    2. just from one forum or across all forums?
    3. again could not be a topic or reply where it is latest activity

    Feedback before I start code something that doesn’t help would be great 🙂

    and from all – are we talking about permanently deleting – ie reduce database size, or just trashing – ie stopping people seeing, but retaining the ability to restore later?
