ok, this thread was for version 1 of the plugin.

If you have an issue, 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

do have access to

dashboard>appearance>themes ?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

This code is from version 1 of bbpress, so probably no longer works.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

try this

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

@deborah86 – great – thanks for posting your findings – really appreciated !

This will help others getting the same issue

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

I saw your one before the edit.

I put this in my form-reply

<input name="toggle-check" id="toggle-check" type="checkbox" value="value">hello

and this in my theme’s functions file

add_action( 'bbp_new_reply_post_extras', 'rew_reply_checkbox' );
add_action( 'bbp_edit_reply_post_extras', 'rew_reply_checkbox' );

function rew_reply_checkbox ($reply_id) {
//and probably set the value to a $_POST parameter you set in the form
if (! empty($_POST['toggle-check'] ) ) {
$myvalue = $_POST['toggle-check'] ;
}
else $myvalue='empty' ;

update_post_meta ($reply_id , 'toggle-check', $myvalue) ;

and that works fine

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

ok, I’m very confused.

if you are adding this code to a form, then it is already in a form, so you don’t need the <form…

you’d just need to code I put above ie

echo '<p class="whatever">
<input name="my_parameter" id="my_parameter" type="checkbox" value="whatever_value_you_want" checked="checked">								<label for="whatever">Tick this box to do whatever</label>
</p>' ;

maybe you could post the entire form you are trying to change, and indeed say where/what it is?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

my test site with just twentytwenty and bbpress works both with or without the prefix – I just make sure the landing page has the same permalink as the forum slug.

Every site is unique, so if that is not working for you, I’m not sure what to suggest next – sorry 🙁

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

sorry this is free help offered by volunteers – I try to read the posts but have limited time, and sometimes miss elements 🙂

so

what are the settings in

dashboard>settings>forums – forum root slug forum and forum single slugs – please list

is the ‘Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)’ set ?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

not sure how this is related to bbpress ?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

bbPress Voting

sorry – too many things in your ‘we value your privacy’ for me to visit, I get enough junk at the moment.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

ok so are you seeing these topics in

can you explain

Forum > Announcements > Test Topic Creation

the form is usually at the bottom of the forum listing, what are you selecting in ‘test topic creation’ ?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

ok, so apart from bbpress, what other bbpress related plugins are you running ?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

presume just you as admin? or are your forum subscribers also receiving more than 1?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

unanswered can be done by

bbp style pack

once activated

create a wordpress page and use the [bsp-display-topic-index …..] shortcode

see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Shortcodes for how to use it – but create one with noreply

then you just create a link to that page

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed, and thanks for the MPV – made me smile 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

ok, so I looked and yes adding elementor as a 3rd option causes the issue.

So this is a combination of plugin actions, not a single one.

I should say here that I am just a bbpress user who helps out here, I’m not one of the authors.

I could spend many hours looking at all three plugins to track why the issue happens, but the easiest solution is just to add back the bbpress capabilities after plugins have loaded

so this plugin which is just 4 lines long does that.

BbPress Add Capabilities

just download and then add to your site and if I have understood it, you should be back and working again.

Let me know if/that it works.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

ok – that shows what happens with elementor active, but if you deactivate that what happens?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

no problem, it is already night here in the UK 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

dashboard>settings>discussion is a default wordpress option, so if you don’t have this, then something is wrong outside of bbpress !!

it could be a theme or plugin issue

so maybe have a function that says

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_form_content', 'rew_add_checkbox' );

function rew_add_checkbox () {
echo '<p class="whatever">
<input name="my_parameter" id="my_parameter" type="checkbox" value="whatever_value_you_want" checked="checked">								<label for="whatever">Tick this box to do whatever</label>
</p>' ;

}

This will put the checkbox after the content
