ok, thanks, let me take a look

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

there is no [bbp-forum-profile] which is why I wrote the bsp profile – what is your concern in using that one ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes

@ricsca2 I’ve just released version 1.8.5 which should fix duplicate topics being created

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

hmmm…can only suggest that you try the basic fault finding….

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

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

Code Snippets

function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');

@ricsca2 – I’m pretty sure it just uses the wordpress default excerpt length, which you can amend – see this for 3 methods

How to Change The Default Excerpt Length In WordPress

if this works, please post back so we know 🙂

no not bbpress, you’ll need to find what is adding it

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

from that post, it appears that the links were working, but have stopped working ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

which field do you mean? – bbpress doesn’t store anything google+ related, in fact bbpress doesn’t store any social media fields at all – WordPress does, and it might also be your theme or another plugin adding these

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

put this in your custom css to remove the background

.bbp-author-link {
	background: none !important;
}

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>not working?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

@mc9625 what have you got set in

dashboard>settings>discussion>bbPress Topics for Posts Defaults>Create a new bbPress topic in… ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

I’ll probably break it again when I fix ricsca2’s problem !! 🙂

Glad you are fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

@newest the issue relates to how gutenberg does an update – it uses AJAX rather than refresh the post, so the initial settings are not seen, and the post considers the update as a new publish.

I’ll need to work on some code to fix

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

@newest- ok, thanks for that.

It works the other way around, you add a topic to a post, not a post to a topic.

so when you publish or edit a wordpress post, you can attach a topic to it.

I didn’t write the original plugin, and Gutenberg made it not work, so I have been given editing rights to try and fix it.

so start by going to

dashboard>settings>discussion and you will see topics for posts about half way down – here you can set up the default actions.

Then as a test create a post.

on the right hand side you should see Post and Block options, make sure you have clicked Post

You should then see near the bottom either in the main but or in the sidebar a ‘Topics for Posts’ box, which will show the defaults.

If you don’t see this (as Gutenberg unhelpfully tries to hide anything useful to the user) click the 3 vertical dots on the right hand side right of publish and the settings cog, at the bottom you will find ‘preferences’ and in that you will find the option to show the topics for posts under additional panels section at the bottom

Sorry this is all horrible – it’s not me making it so I promise you 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

@newest not sure if you are describing your issue with topics for posts or your issue with posting images – I’d love to help, but I have limited time to read posts.

Topics for posts works on when you publish a topic, so can you start there.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

forums can be done using

Private groups

and forum visibility tab

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

great, and yes please post the completed functioning code once you have got it working !!

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

hmmm…not sure about the ‘leak in’ bit, how are lines being displayed if $prev etc. is blank?

you could add a check

so set

$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id() ;

above the while statement and then check at the appropriate point

if (wp_get_post_parent_id($prev_id)  != $forum_id) {
etc.
}

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years ago]

just had a quick look

this should get you close, totally untested !!

<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'topic', 'post_parent' => bbp_get_forum_id() ); 
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
//get the current topic id or maybe depending in where you are putting this - bbp_get_reply_topic_id or bbp_get_reply_id()
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id() ;
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); 
	$cur_id = get_the_ID();
	if ($cur == $topic_id)  {
		$prev = get_previous_post() ;
		$prev_id = $prev->ID ;
		$next = get_next_post();
		$next_id = $next->ID ;
	break ;
	}
endwhile;
//so you now have $cur_id, $prev_id and $next_id
//so create 3 lines
if (!empty ($prev_id)) {
	$permalink = get_permalink($prev_id) ;
	$title = get_the_title ($prev_id) ;
	echo '<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.$title.'</a>' ;
}
if (!empty ($cur_id)) {
	$permalink = get_permalink($cur_id) ;
	$title = get_the_title ($cur_id) ;
	echo '<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.$title.'</a>' ;
}
if (!empty ($next_id)) {
	$permalink = get_permalink($next_id) ;
	$title = get_the_title ($next_id) ;
	echo '<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.$title.'</a>' ;
}
?>

@athep – have you solved this ?
