As a test, can you try

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_reply_count', 'rew_return_int', 10 , 2) ;

function rew_return_int ($replies, $topic_id ) {
return int($replies) ;
}

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

and let me know if it works

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 4 weeks ago]

either

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Topic/Reply Order>replies>Descending and tick and save

or

add_filter ('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'rew_true') ;

function rew_true () {
	return true ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

ignore that – I’ve just taken a look and seen how to do it

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 4 weeks ago]

ok, not having played with the BBpress for block theme which is what I suspect you are using :

what exactly did you add to the template, can you post before and after code for this please as it will help others

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 4 weeks ago]

hey no problem, I will see if Webmandesign can help here

@webmandesign any thoughts?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 4 weeks ago]

Thanks, I am not a bbpress author, I just try and help out here

Having confirmed that this suggestion works, you might want to try Webmandesign’s solution, which I think might be better on header/footer

so go to this post

When Support Block Theme?

and you can find where to download a plugin.

If you do so, and activate, you’ll need to untick the solution in my plugin.

If his solution is indeed better, please let us know, he is about to release it as an official plugin, and if that all goes ok, I will point my users at his solution.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 month, 4 weeks ago]

This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need 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

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months ago]

No problem, glad that we got it fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months ago]

ok so you do not have topic tags set – item 5 add tags column, set this and save

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months ago]

That’s a nice looking forum.

The layoput is a combination of a custom template, some custom css and probably a couple of functions.

I would strongly suspect it was put together by a design house, so is proprietary.

I can only suggest you email the technical contact at the bottom of the website and see if they would be happy to share their code.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months ago]

I suspect you are feeling some frustration as am I !. I have been supporting bbpress for 14 years, and I wrote the first version of bbp-style-pack over 10 years ago and have developed and supported it since then.

Every website is a combination of WordPress and its settings, your theme and its settings, any adjustments to that theme, and all the plugins and each of their settings. That’s before we look at things like php versions, apache stuff, ht-acess, hoster settings and limitations and a bunch more stuff.

That makes most sites pretty unique, so site A will never replicate site B in it’s problems and issues, so what works on my test site is not guaranteed to work on your site.

So what I ask you to do is based on my best view of what might be the issue, but I am using past skill and knowledge to make informed guesses.

so can you send me a screenshot of the following page

dashboard>settings>bbp-style-pack>Dashboard Admin

thanks

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months ago]

ok, what does the ‘link stats’ – they are not default

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months ago]

ok, so if you are on style pack version 6.2.8 and have checked the setting as described above, it should appear.

But I am suspecting that the links that are added by another plugin or plugins – the ones that do link stats, SEO details, SEO title and SEO desc might be overriding my settings.

As a test, can you deactivate the related plugin and see if tags appear, if they do, let me know which plugin you are using to do those extra options

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months ago]

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs

and you can disable all breadcrumbs, or tailor to what you want

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months ago]

it should appear if you have set it in the style pack plugin.

what have you got as showing in the screen opitions?

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months ago]

If you mean you want to alter a tags field rather than just list, then you need to edit the individual topic and it is on the right hand side

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months ago]

sorry, which page? if you mean

Dashboard>topics

then it should be there

If you mean another page, please let me know

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months, 1 week ago]

Apologies, I have been on holiday.

I am not a bbpress author, but I have added this feature into one of my plugins.

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Dashboard Admin>item 5 and tick to enable

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months, 2 weeks ago]

If you have exported press from another site, and then imported- yes series, and post parents for topics and replies can be wrong where on the imported site there are existing users, posts or pages. There are no easy solutions – I have some code that should fix replies, but I am on holiday at the moment with no access

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months, 3 weeks ago]

Suspect that the message is from the moderation settings in style pack, I am about to go to South Africa for 2 weeks so unable to help further until I get back

1. not sure what is the ‘thankyou message’ you get?

A reply I make just gets accepted and then goes to the reply with the url which is the ID of the reply.

/forums/topics/testtopic/#post-33905

so what is adding the ‘thankyou’ message

2. If it is written to the database it will be in

dashboard>settings>replies either in all, pending, trash or spam – if it is not there, then it is not in the database.

3. what have you got set in
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form item 16 if checked, try unchecking it or visa versa

4. and check items 13 and 14 if ticked untick to see if that fixes

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months, 3 weeks ago]

Too many variables to be able to help in any generic way.

You will need to try and work out what makes some work and some not.

So each time before you post, take a copy of the reply content , note the date and time, and keep doing this for both successful and failed replies. Note also any other people posting around the time that you did.

When you have got say 20 failed replies, you can start to analyze whether there is any common reason, such as words, length, no. paras, subject matter, time of day etc.

If that fails, then you could start to think that it is not code related, so maybe hosting platform, eg memory – say 3 people using the site at once.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months, 3 weeks ago]

apologies, ignore that !!

[@robin-w Moderator 2 months, 3 weeks ago]

thanks for all that – I’ll take a good look when I get back

as a by the by, they might ask you to change the title – they made me change one I inherited which started with ‘bbpress’ they said made it look like it was owned and written by bbpress whose name is owned by WordPress. There as plenty of plugins that do this already and haven’t been asked so you may get away with it, but I had to change it from ‘bbPress Topics for Posts’ to ‘Post Comments as bbPress Topics’
