ok, not quite sure why this occurred, but the bit that says
('4185', 'as__bbp_favorites, '312810')
is lacking a closing ‘ on 'as__bbp_favorites so should read
('4185', 'as__bbp_favorites', '312810')
Is this a one off, or is it now doing this everytime?
bbpress is very stable, and the authors tend to release updates at very infrequent intervals.
It works fine with current versions of WordPress.
you may like to add this plugin as well
bbp style pack
which has lots of additional features to enhance the look and feel of bbpress.
ok, given that these are both paid plugins, and that for instance content censor says ‘A content scanner is included which analyzes your entire site to locate specific instances of unwanted content so you can take active steps to remove/edit as necessary.’, then I would approach these providers first for solutions.
can you define what you mean by ‘breaking my theme’ please
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs
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, try
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help
also check
dashboard>settings>forums and check the Roles > Automatically give registered visitors… is checked
probably better to ask in the buddypress support page
https://buddypress.org/support/
ahh – thanks
ok, it works on my test site.
you have 2 options, most liked and topics with no replies – do both behave the same?
great – glad you are fixed
WP Mail SMTP doesn’t chnage how bbress sends – ie it will still be
from the noreply@
to the noreply@
and then bcc in the users
but it can improve the delivery by making the emails better authenticated.
BUT if your email system doesn’t have an email set up in it of noreply@ then emails may still be rejected.
so there are lots of stages (email is a right pain)
so
leaving your WordPress site
arriving and leaving your email server (some email servers will not allow multiple BCCs or BCC’s above a number eg say more than 20 )
leaving your email server in DNS settings (you might need things like DMARC set to prevent spoofing)
even after all that, your recipients email systems may reject or mark as spam. so emails to say gmail users may get rejected as they don’t like something, whilst say hotmail might be fine with them.
You could write a degree course in understanding email systems !!
If you have checked ‘Automatically give registered visitors the xx role…’
in
dashboard>settings>forums>
Then they will get that role when they next log in, so you shouldn’t need to take any action on existing users.
bbpress does not have a widget ‘Most Liked Topics and Topics without replies’ – is this from an additional bbpress plugin ?
if you are not using AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions, then bbpress will send
from the noreply@
to the noreply@
and then bcc in the users
This is a common way to bulk email.
try
bbp_get_displayed_user_id()
that should work.
can you go to
dashboard>settings>bbp-style-pack>topics index and see if you have item 19 checked.
If so uncheck it and see if the problem goes away.
If so, come back and I’ll take a further look
I don’t quiet understand, are you saying that the icons don’t show up to non-logged in users regardless of the settings?
correct – if you are not logged in, the website does not know who you are, so does not know what you have read
ok, so if you allow anyone to post, it is impossible to show unread posts to non logged in users , as by definition they are not logged in, so the website has no idea who is looking, so does not know who they are and what they have read.
on
Also I activated, and the deactivated the topic preview option and it seems I broke something because, again for logged out users, the preview text shows up right next to the topic link. Oops, is there a fix?
Thanks
can you send me a link so I can see.
ok, neither of those links resolves to a live site, what theme are you using?
in effect they are one and the same thing.
bbpress just uses the wordpress user with an additional role.
If you want to prevent users from accessing the forum but still have site access you can use the ‘blocked’ role or set ‘no role’ and/or not set a default role in dashboard>settings>forums
