no problem, I did some fixes a while ago in this area, and think I have messed some up !!
I’ll have a further go at these later today, and try and get them all working again !
I just found the issue, and fixed it in 6.3.2 just released.
Can you test and confirm please?
Thanks, the ‘unsupported’ is on my list to fix.
should be fixed in style pack 6.3.1 just released
ok, so I’ve now had a chance to look at your steps.
Steps 1-4 are fine.
Step 5 is causing the issue. It is not needed as you are on bbpress 2.x, and that holds the data in the posts table. The site should work at this point with no further action. By importing the bbpress1 you will be overwriting the current forums.
So do it again without stage 5 and come back at that part and let us know what is happening.
sorry to keep asking questions, but is this a total copy of the site, ie same plugins, content and same theme?
thanks, yes I saw your request, I have been away for a few days – I’ll take a look soon
ok, I’d suspect that the bb_ tables are from versions 0.x and 1.x.
In version 2.x, bbpress was migrated to a plugin under wordpress.
I presume that your bbpress forums run on the same website and nit on a sub-domain – can you confirm?
yes – 99% of sites never turn debug on, so never see any warnings.
it’s not really anyone’s ‘fault’ but bbpress would need to make the change to their code, so yes bbpress is ‘causing it’.
thanks, I am away at the moment, with limited time, if you can wait a few days, I will be able to help further hopefully
what version of bbpress are you using?
bbpress just uses wordpress posts and post meta tables and the wordpress use table.
So if you copy the wp-content files, mysql database, bbpress should just work ok
ok, thanks I can can now see the problem. I am away for a few days, but I’ll take a look when I can
can I have a link to see the issue please
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display>item 4
some themes requires this
Changing this is not within the current plugins capability.
I suspect that with the right code it could be done, but I have no idea how to do it.
I’d suggest you hire a programmer
dashboard>settings>forums and you can take out the forums slug by taking out the prefix.
Not sure you can achieve the rest, but frankly no-one ever looks at the permalink when looking at your site
could be hundreds of reasons, and may be coincidental of 6.8 or may not.
so 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
You can add it to the menu
Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login
or you can use the
[bbp-login]
shortcode which will display a clickable link
possibly because you are using an FSE theme.
so try a fix to work with bbpress.
install
bbp style pack
once activated, navigate to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.
In that tab, select
Enable Theme Support
and save
The forums should then display
great – thanks for the update 🙂
I’m not quite sure what point you are making.
bbPress does not support blocks, it may do at some future stage, but it does not do this now.
Wordpress support uses bbPress and has a fix they have decided to do in order to support blocks.
I did some experiments to see if I could get blocks working with bbpress.
I said in the other thread that I could not get blocks working with 19.7, so it is probably not surprising that you couldn’t either – I’m not sure why you thought this would work. I did get it to work with 16.7, but I have not tried it since 6.8 was released (nor do I plan to).
It is up to plugin authors to decide what they wish to support within their plugins, and whilst you think it would be good to be able to use blocks, this is entirely up to the authors of free software.
Whilst personally I would not wish to impose blocks on my forum users, as I find it unintuitive, I would support adding the capability for those that do want it.
For the time being, unless you can get it to work, then you have the editor as per this forum, or the visual editor which can be added using the bbp-style-pack plugin.
