link to a new topic form on a site with astra running please
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
ok, so that is a page with a shortcode that tends to suggest you do not have the bbpress plugin active
ok, so this is a paid theme – you should raise this with the theme authors
I tried, but cannot get minutes to work. I can limit per hour
@bsdinsight – you are assuming that your issue is the same, and your image doesn;t show.
What theme are you using?
for this to work, you need to set the editor to visual only
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form>item 9 and set to Visual Editor Only
no problem, glad to have helped 🙂
you need to turn off ‘threaded replies’
dashboard>settings>forums>Reply Threading and untick
it was the weekend, I am one person who needs to spend time with my family 🙂
I will respond in the next day or so.
‘how to quote a post or comment without using any plugin.’
you could try using a Ouija board, but otherwise you will need code in either theme or plugin.
You could pay someone to cut some theme code, but of course that won’t be maintained unless you take out some sort of maintenance agreement with the author.
Adding a plugin will not make any difference in load time that anyone would notice (or indeed most software could time), and if you use caching software nothing measurable at all over theme code.
bbp style pack
has a quotes section
I think you are using the 2023 theme.
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
great – glad you are fixed
I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.
The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.
My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.
bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.
I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.3 and php 8.1 with no issues.
The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.
However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this
bbp style pack
as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.
All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.
The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.
But with open software you make your choices….
not really sure if you’re asking for help or just complaining 🙁
to see forums you need ‘keymaster’ permission
so you need to go to
dashboard>users and see who has this permission, and if needed get them to grant it to you.
If no-one has ‘keymaster’ then come back
As I said ‘yes it is possible but beyond free help.’
I’m away for e few days, but if I haven’t responded to this thread by this time next week then please add a further reply to remind me
I am not a bbpress author
A possible reason is detailed on my site
bbpress role adder
you could use this to amend the role
come back if you need to
This was a topic for a much older version
please explain in detail your issue
I think you’d need to raise that with the plugin authors
‘specific user group ‘ – do you mean a buddypress group, some membership group or can you clarify.
I think you will need to raise this with learndash, as this is the plugin that is controlling this, and is a paid plugin we do not have access to.
