hmm…not sure. Freshness is really weird under 2.6, or at least my undersstnding of how it should work varies form what it actually does.
I’ll wait until the authors look at my track ticket before I work further on it.
I see that showroom is still not showing sub forums, and I’m still playing with why that might be happening.
no, 2.6 does roles differently – so in effect turning that off fixed it for your logged in users. If non logged in see all that you want, then that’s fine, and you are fixed.
If not come back
hmmm…not sure why it is doing that – clearly it thinks they don’t have a role.
can you check
dashboard>settings>forums
item – Automatically give registered visitors the xx role
I suspect you have this checked and set to spectator?
Thanks everyone, I have now reported this as a error in 2.6.2
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3297#ticket
I’ll update when the bbpress authors take a look
if you are using bbpress 2.6.x there is a moderator setting in the forums part (right hand side in dashboard forum edit) where you list users who can moderate
great – 2 seem to be fixed by this, although I still don’t know why !
@cassel great – thanks – please do report back, this is not the long term solution, but will let me work with the authors to get to a resolution.
that’s really interesting…. Let me think further
It would be great if some others can try my plugin and let me know the results
both are just a ‘post parent’ in the posts table. For bbpress the only difference is that categories don’t get topics, whereas forums do !
I can create the problem now on my test site. If I add the plugin (which I was doing to de-bug) the problem goes away. This is despite it just being the code that the function uses !
I would like to eliminate that you posted to a closed topic.
I would however like you to look at this situation
Forum a – forum, open, public parent 0
Forum b – sub forum, public, parent forum a
Topic x – an OPEN topic
Reply 1 – a reply to the above topic
reply 2 – a second reply
can you get the problem with this set up and my plugin deactivated ?
No, that just updates a reply – I’d already eliminates that – sorry
the repair tool deletes EVERY last active, and recalculates them all.
The function on the new reply contains all the right logic, and debugged it seems fine. I cannot see why it should not work, but agree it doesn’t.
you can deactivate the plugin if you wish.
is this a forum within a forum or category, or a top level forum?
sorry, how are you restricting the roles to particular forums?
ok, I think I am becoming deranged by this problem 🙂
Would someone like to try this very small plugin and let me know if it fixes.
I don’t promise it will – it works on my test site but it should make no difference !!
so go to
bbp Refresh Last Active Time
and download the plugin to your PC.
Go into
dashboard>plugins>add new plugin>upload and upload the file you have just downloaded then activate
Then try to add a new reply on a sub forum – please do this on public forums and hierarchy – this does not fix public/private mixes, and I don’t know if it works for private forums yet !
Please report back in either case
can I just ask those that are having issues whether they are using threaded replies?
No, I’m deep in code, this is not simple !
In your case, If you move the private forum out from under a public forum, I suspect you will work.
bbpress 2.6 has changed the way that forums are displayed. If you have a hidden forum, then set it to a group that is not used (if needbe create a further group, but assign n o users to it), and it will not be displayed.
@cassel – thanks I’m still looking at this issue
When I go to your site, if I select the testing forum as a non logged in user, I cannot see the topic form, but I can reply to an existing topic.
I thought that was what you wanted?
@cassel – I’m continuing to dig into your sub forums – do you know what php version you are on ?
EDIT : If you are running style pack, you can see this in
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>plugin information
Otherwise (for others ) if you don’t know how to find out, can you install this
Display PHP Version
and you can see from the dashboard – you can disable and delete the plugin once you have done so
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
change line 31 from
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() ) : ?>
to
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
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
