I’m as frustrated as you are by a lack of development, I’m only trying to explain why it is not happening, I’m not trying to say that I agree with it.

And as far as I can see WordPress views it only as needing development as far as it is the support tool for them.

I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen, trying to keep this product alive

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

not quite, WordPress exists because Automatic who own WordPress run wordpress.com which as a hoster generates income which helps pay for WordPress development. Other contributors to WordPress include wordfence who make money from selling protection to companies.

bbpress has no sponsors at the moment

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

basic economics –

You using bbpress generates no income for anyone.

bbpress is a wordpress product, so someone has to sponsor a coder to code stuff, ie someone has to pay for this, and unless there is a reason for this, it doesn’t happen.

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

yes, I’ll release a fix shortly

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months, 4 weeks ago]

But the integration code resides inside bbPress– not sure what you mean – the filters you quote are all buddypress or possibly buddyboss

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months, 4 weeks ago]

probably a question for the buddypress support forum

https://buddypress.org/support/

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months, 4 weeks ago]

bbpress uses custom post types, and database entries for linking replies to topics.

It is unlikely that the plugin will take account of these.

I do not know how that plugin works, but if you are importing to a clean site (ie one with no posts/pages/or other entries, then running the following repair may just fix.

dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run on at a time

[@robin-w Moderator 3 months, 4 weeks ago]

ok, so that tells you that the error is in your theme ‘enterprise pro’ – in essence they are using a function that only exists if bbpress is active, so first of all see if there is a setting you need to change if you are NOT using bbpress.

Otherwise contact the theme authors for help.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months ago]

you should get an email telling you the error, we need to know what that says

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months ago]

🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months ago]

Great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months ago]

what membership plugin are you using?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months ago]

Learndash I think hides some stuff, maybe try disabling and see if that is the issue, you can then look at what you need to do there.

If not, then 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

if users have no forum role, then on next login they will get the role you set in

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 1 week ago]

I’m not trying to argue with you, just stating my opinion.

If you fancy sponsoring someone to update the plugin, contract WordPress who own it. Otherwise you are just relying on someone writing this for free in their spare time – sorry that’s how it works

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 1 week ago]

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. In essence it is a WordPress product, written by the founder of Wordress, and taken into a plugin by sponsorship from WordPress.
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 6.6.x and php 8.2 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….

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 1 week ago]

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 1 week ago]

ok, sorry not sure I can help further – could be many things with your staging site setup – maybe talk to your hoster

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 1 week ago]

ok, try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save

That resets the permalinks and may help

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 1 week ago]

thanks, so yes back to working out if it could be a theme or plugin issue

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 1 week ago]

but if you mean ‘error’ as in

Warning: Illegal string offset ‘remember’ in /home/ob57bjdn4ubo/domains/tremendosaur.com/html/wp-includes/user.php on line 39

then yes that would be useful, just take out the site name if that is what is worrying you

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 1 week ago]

ok, that’s like sending your auto mechanic a picture of your Ford and asking him to say what is wrong 🙂

The best I can say is 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.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 2 weeks ago]

Do you have a link to a live example please

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 2 weeks ago]

I’ve just taken a look, yes it is most probably a setting within Cirkle, or a bbpress template that has been changed by that theme.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 months, 2 weeks ago]

it cannot be removed with remove_action as the code is not part of an action.

input#bbp_topic_tags {
display: none;
}
label[for=bbp_topic_tags] {
display: none !important;
}

Putting the above in your custom css area should do it
