Did you read the cloudfare link that said they might not be seeing the real IP address, but rather a cloudfare server address? may or not be relevant.

The classes for that are

bbp-reply-ip
bbp-topic-ip

so should be

.bbp-reply-ip, .bbp-topic-ip{
  text-align: left !important;
}

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

ok so your first post said the exact opposite 🙂 ie they didn’t want to see the IP6

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

apologies, try this

add_filter ('bbp_get_author_ip', 'rew_hide_v6') ;

function rew_hide_v6 ($author_ip='') {
if (strlen($author_ip)>20) $author_ip='' ;
return $author_ip ;
}

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

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation (third row down, right hand side)

and follow the instructions/guidance

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

ok, so we can hide the ip6, but getting the ip4 is harder i think.

I found this post relating to Cloudfare which tends to indicate that even an ip4 might be just a Cloudflare address, but I only spent 2 minutes reading though !!

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/real-ip-for-the-customers-cloudflare/

so to hide an IP6, try this (untested!)

add_filter ('bbp_get_author_ip', 'rew_hide_v6') ;

function rew_hide_v6 ($author_ip='') {
if ($strlen($author_ip)>20) $author_ip='' ;
return $author_ip ;
}

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

Let me know if it works

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

dashboard>settings>forums>editing and disallow editing – moderators and keymasters can still do so

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

thanks, suspect sql is the easiest without loads of coding

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

so how often and why are you doing this – just trying to understand the problem.

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

please explain further, you seem to have both a title and a description on that page

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

my response crossed with yours.

Great – glad you are fixed !

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

Every website is a unique combination of hoster, operating and hosting systems (eg apache, PHp) WordPress theme, plugins, settings and content, so I cannot just give you an answer.

So between ‘some time ago’ (days? weeks? years?) and now – what has changed on your site?

If you cannot answer that, then I can only suggest the core fault finding viz..

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

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

ok, so it was working – yes?

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

ok, so it was working – yes?

If so something has changed to stop it working, eg theme or plugin update, but could be other things.

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

Ok, so what have you updated?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

no problem, glad to have helped 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

If I understand you correctly, you use the ‘code’ option

eg

<b>
some words
</b>

So you type all your ‘code’ and then highlight it, and click the code button.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

iltaja is an AI spambot I suspect, this forum gets lots of these.

If not I’m sure they will reply again.

From your post about changing number of replies to 13, if the ‘faulty’ post is changing, then I suspect that looking at the database won’t help at this stage.

Let me do some more thinking…

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

do you still have the original Mingle forum?

If so, can you check that all the entries around this one have transferred to bbpress ie they have the same number of replies and are in the same order on page 7/8

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

ok, some late night thinking….

bbpress just uses the WordPress function that finds and shows posts (bbpress forums, topics and replies are just posts with a custom post type!).

So I’m thinking that the ‘find matches’ wordpress part is finding x number of replies, but then the ‘display part’ is finding one less/more to display, then at that point the page count gets to be wrong.

This is just a guess at the moment, but as you are seeing issues with other topics that are not all ‘page 8’ I don’t think it is a pure maths issue.

So my current hypothesis is that there is an item that is in the database as a match, but there is not a corresponding item to display – this could be for lots of reasons.

If you go to your link but page 7, from the post numbered 120998 with text ‘AnTiHrIsTiS — Kingpin: Life of Crime (PC)’ this entry on page 7 has a link of

/steam-records/page/8#120998

If my thinking is correct (and it is probably wrong!) I’d guess it is at this point that the permalinks start to go wrong.

So if you change the replies per page from 14 to 13, does it still start to go wrong from that same post number, or does it start to go wrong from another post number.

This will help us narrow down what the issue might be.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

Thanks, it is evening here in the UK, I’ll try and look at this tomorrow

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

ok, back to this…

so yo say the permalink

mydomain/bbforums/topic/stream-records/page/8#post-121032

Where are you seeing this permalink?

eg

“I go to forums, select forum ‘xxx’ and then I do this and get to the topic by pressing that, and the I see the permalink at…”

and in

dashboard>settings>permalinks

what is the permalink structure?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

maybe try changing the replies per page in

dashboard>settings>forums

and see what difference that makes

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

ok, I am not a bbpress author, just someone who tries to help out.

So it’s Sunday morning here in the UK, and I have guests coming for lunch, so I will try and pick this up later.

But let’s just eliminate some stuff.

1.

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help

2.

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

Do you have reply threading switched on?

dashboard>settings>forums>Reply Threading

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months ago]

is this for users, or from the dashboard?

and what theme are you using?
