    I’m not trying to argue with you, just stating my opinion.

    If you fancy sponsoring someone to update the plugin, contract WordPress who own it. Otherwise you are just relying on someone writing this for free in their spare time – sorry that’s how it works

    I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.

    The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.

    My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.

    bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. In essence it is a WordPress product, written by the founder of Wordress, and taken into a plugin by sponsorship from WordPress.
    There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.

    I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.6.x and php 8.2 with no issues.

    The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.

    However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this

    bbp style pack

    as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.

    All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.

    The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.

    But with open software you make your choices….

    once activated go to

    ok, sorry not sure I can help further – could be many things with your staging site setup – maybe talk to your hoster

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, try

    dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save

    That resets the permalinks and may help

    @robin-w

    thanks, so yes back to working out if it could be a theme or plugin issue

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    but if you mean ‘error’ as in

    Warning: Illegal string offset β€˜remember’ in /home/ob57bjdn4ubo/domains/tremendosaur.com/html/wp-includes/user.php on line 39

    then yes that would be useful, just take out the site name if that is what is worrying you

    ok, that’s like sending your auto mechanic a picture of your Ford and asking him to say what is wrong πŸ™‚

    The best I can say is 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

    Do you have a link to a live example please

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I’ve just taken a look, yes it is most probably a setting within Cirkle, or a bbpress template that has been changed by that theme.

    @robin-w

    it cannot be removed with remove_action as the code is not part of an action.

    input#bbp_topic_tags {
    display: none;
    }
    label[for=bbp_topic_tags] {
    display: none !important;
    }

    Putting the above in your custom css area should do it

    @robin-w

    sorry, I just help out here, there are many things on localhost that are different including htaccess and maybe many others

    I have never developed on localhost, nothing against those that do, but developing on the same server using exactly the same code as live enables you to have confidence that the performance and configuration is exactly the same, just my view πŸ™‚

    Anyway glad you are fixed !

    @robin-w

    ok, since I cannot see the site, troubleshooting is near impossible.

    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.

    add_filter( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1 );
    function my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url( $requested_url )
    {
    return 'http://localhost:8888' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    }

    Put this in your child theme’s function file –

    ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

    where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

    or use

    In reply to: critical error

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    I have moved this to a new topic

    This could be due to many reasons, including plugins and/or theme

    When you get a critical error, you will receive an email sent to the address in

    dashboard>settings>general>Administration Email Address

    in that email will be the details of the exact error.

    We need to see that error message to help further

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    do you have a link to a live example, and what theme are you using?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    many plugins that do advertising have code you can use, and bbpress has many hooks you can use to insert.

    If you want to say what and where, I may be able to give you further help.

    Probably a question to ask memberpress

    What have you set in

    dashboard>settings>forums>roles ?

    Sorry Learndash is a paid plugin, so I cannot develop my free private grouops plugin unless I buy it, which I don’t plan to !!

    it works on both templates for me.

    so when I go to your last link (my site url) I see the forums in list view (NOT vertical) on both a laptop and a mobile.

    Do you see differently?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    not sure what you are after, it does exactly that on my test site.

    Link to an example please

    ok, I cannot say why it has worked before – every site is a unique collection of theme, plugins and settings.

    but yes if you close a forum, it closes it to new topics and replies
