Backend = anything where you are in the dashboard
Frontend – everything else !

So what you describe is not normal behaviour.

I’d suggest 2 things.

1. You have another plugin that is affecting how bbpress does topic edits
2. The topic in question has content that violates your moderation rules – most commonly a number of links, but might be words.

so in

dashboard>settings>discussion you will have rules on how many links and what wrods are blacklisted on your site. If on a topic edit these rules get broken, then the topic will go into moderation.

If this is not obvious from the topic that you are editing that is going into pending, then you could try posting a simple topic with just a few words, and then edit this to see if it suffers from the issue.

if it does, then item 1 above might apply.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

you don’t say whether this is front or back end.

If you can repeat this issue, can you give us a series of steps to see it

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

it will either be subscriptions or the notify plugin (or another bbpress related plugin!)

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

yes that should be fine

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

ok, install this plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

and you’ll be able to add yourself back as keymaster

you can deactivate and delete this style pack plugin afterwards, but you might want to make use of it’s features 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

so have you got a keymaster or do you now have none?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

yes these are the 3 bbpress post types, and they are the only post types.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

ok, so you should have ‘administrator’ AND ‘keymaster’ roles showing against your username, I’d suspect that Keymaster is not set. Only a Keymaster can set another Keymaster, but if you have none on your site, come back.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

if the reply is 1500 and the topic it belongs to 1000 then

$reply_topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id(1500)
if( $reply_topic_id == 1000 ){  
        echo 'Baseball rule';     
        return;

@izzyeast bbpress 2.6.6 works with WordPress 5.7 -I have it running on several sites, and with 300,000 installation, it would be well know if it didn’t.

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

On the sites where I have forums, I’ve never used single forums, just a main forum with forums listed in it, so not really had to deal with this issue -I should add that I am just a bbpress user who helps out here, not a bbpress author.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

Personally I’d just disable breadcrumbs – if you are only showing one forum at a time, then they are not really adding much.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

you can then apply the same technique to the reply form

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

ok, so create a new topic form template

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

change around line 199

<?php if ( ! bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>

to

<?php if (isset($_REQUEST['bbp_forum_id'])) : ?>
<input type="hidden" name="bbp_forum_id" value="<?php echo $_REQUEST['bbp_forum_id']; ?>" />
<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then put this in your child theme functions file

add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'reww_new_topic_button' ) ;

function reww_new_topic_button () {
	$url = $url = get_home_url(); 
	$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id() ;
	$url.='/topic-form/?bbp_forum_id='.$forum_id ;
	$text = 'create new topicc' ;
	echo '<a class="hello" href ="'.$url.'">'.$text.'</a>' ;
}

where ‘/topic-form/’ is the page you have the topic form on

that sends a query string to the topic form page, which is then picked up by the amended template above

Probably not with that plugin, but probably another plugin and/or your theme

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

you can also check out this plugin which does user ranking

bbp user ranking

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

I’d suggest you crack open this plugin which does topic and reply counts

bbp topic count

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

suspect dashboard>settings>forums>subscriptions

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

the topic and reply forms are at the bottom of the forum and topic pages, so there is no need to visit a separate page.

I agree that this is far from obvious.

my style pack plugin adds a button which takes you there

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Buttons

I’m looking at creating a pop-up topic and reply form at the moment, but this is very much work in progress. If I succeed I’ll try and remember to post back here

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

sorry, I’m confused on what the issue is – when I click on the login link above, I get taken to the expected login.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

dashboard>appearance>widgets and choose the sidebar and add a custom html widget

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

anything can be done if you can find someone with the technical skills and time and are willing to pay the money for them to do the work !!

The plugin does not generate WordPress ‘pages’ as such, it uses a theme’s template and renders data within that.

I’m just a bbpress user who helps out on this forum, but if we ignore login, register and password reset which users may or may not want as pages (many use sidebar widgets and a multitude of membership plugins and methods to handle registration etc.) then I’m not clear what you want to happen with topic and reply forms – what is missing that you want that needs multiple forms?
