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
yes if you know how to FTP a file and have a child theme – come back if you do
yes, if you care to look, you’ll find lots of questions have been answered.
it is scheduled for 2.6.3, but that is not guarenteed
no problem, I am working on possible solutions
that’s great
I’m doing some work with another user on how 2.5 vs 2.6 does the forum display, and we are making progress, so I’ll come back shortly
ok, can you tell me if the following is set – don’t change it, just let me know
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum Display item 7 Add Sub Forum Description to forum lists
ok, are you running bbp-style-pack ?
oh, and also can you say whether you are running a child theme that has any bbpress files in it?
ok, so running that fix gets latest activity back to normal, but only of course until the next post puts it out again – just wanted to check that was the case.
on the showroom, yes I can see that they have gone again – out of 100 how ceratin are you that they were there immediately before you ran then repair? and did you only run the repair for latest activity ?
ok, and if you do
dashboard>tolls>forums>repair forums>recalculate last activity
does it all get back to as it should be?
woocommerce subscriptions is a paid plugin, suggest you raise the issue with them
@ajtruckle – I’m happy that I know your problem – I think cassel and hardel have different issues and may each have a different issue to the other. So I don’t need access as I can generate your problem on my test site, but thanks for the offer 🙂
@cassel – ok thanks – basically to fix, we need to work out a repeatable procedure, so that I can create the issue.
so for ones that go wrong, can you monitor and see if you can find some commonality – eg only replies, posts in x forum, 1st reply in a forum etc.
