hmmm…
Just looked on my test site, and the newest appears at the top, and changes when I add a reply.
I can see yours does not match this.
What other (if any) bbpress related plugins are you using?
so you got there did you ?
That’s great – thanks for testing and your help in finding the issues 🙂
ok, I think this is now working in 6.3.4 just released, but again can I ask you to check, that would be very helpful 🙂
no problem, I did some fixes a while ago in this area, and think I have messed some up !!
I’ll have a further go at these later today, and try and get them all working again !
I just found the issue, and fixed it in 6.3.2 just released.
Can you test and confirm please?
Thanks, the ‘unsupported’ is on my list to fix.
should be fixed in style pack 6.3.1 just released
ok, so I’ve now had a chance to look at your steps.
Steps 1-4 are fine.
Step 5 is causing the issue. It is not needed as you are on bbpress 2.x, and that holds the data in the posts table. The site should work at this point with no further action. By importing the bbpress1 you will be overwriting the current forums.
So do it again without stage 5 and come back at that part and let us know what is happening.
sorry to keep asking questions, but is this a total copy of the site, ie same plugins, content and same theme?
thanks, yes I saw your request, I have been away for a few days – I’ll take a look soon
ok, I’d suspect that the bb_ tables are from versions 0.x and 1.x.
In version 2.x, bbpress was migrated to a plugin under wordpress.
I presume that your bbpress forums run on the same website and nit on a sub-domain – can you confirm?
yes – 99% of sites never turn debug on, so never see any warnings.
it’s not really anyone’s ‘fault’ but bbpress would need to make the change to their code, so yes bbpress is ‘causing it’.
thanks, I am away at the moment, with limited time, if you can wait a few days, I will be able to help further hopefully
what version of bbpress are you using?
bbpress just uses wordpress posts and post meta tables and the wordpress use table.
So if you copy the wp-content files, mysql database, bbpress should just work ok
ok, thanks I can can now see the problem. I am away for a few days, but I’ll take a look when I can
can I have a link to see the issue please
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display>item 4
some themes requires this
Changing this is not within the current plugins capability.
I suspect that with the right code it could be done, but I have no idea how to do it.
I’d suggest you hire a programmer
dashboard>settings>forums and you can take out the forums slug by taking out the prefix.
Not sure you can achieve the rest, but frankly no-one ever looks at the permalink when looking at your site
could be hundreds of reasons, and may be coincidental of 6.8 or may not.
so 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

Then come back
