ok, so page is now ok, but suspect from

https://middleagedwitch.com/Forums/forum/general-discussion/

that you have a capital F somewhere

so either your permalink is ‘Forums’ or in

dashboard>settings>forums>root forum slug you have ‘Forums’

it needs to be lower case ‘forums’

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

ok, so I’m guessing you have a page called ‘Forum’ in which you have put the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

If so change the permalink on this page from ‘forum’ to ‘forums’ and it should all work

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

theme is at

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

but it will still take some work to create a clone of this site.

Using your existing theme, you can most of the sidebar stuff here using the widgets in

bbp style pack

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

ok so what are all the slugs set to in

dashboard>settings>forums

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

Try

dashboard>settings>permalinks> and just click save – this resets the permanlinks and can fix issues like this.

If not, come back

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

ok

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

so the plugin is called bbpress which isn’t a word which translates, so what do you mean ??????

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

no easy solution – basically wordpress lets you login with your email so users can still login using email address if their have a different username. So if you need this as a solution then your registration process should not allow users to use their email as username or warn them that if they do it will be public.

You can change any existing ones using

great – glad it worked

or might not – I’m trying to look at this in limited free time and trying not to get sucked into too deeper a code dive 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

maybe it’s the if function, try

add_action ('bbp_new_topic_post_extras', 'rew_spam_update_last_active', 10 ,1 ) ;

function rew_spam_update_last_active ($topic_id) {
	//this function tests if a new topic has been marked as spam by Akismet.  If so then the last active date will be wrong
	//So we use topic walker to recalculate it
	bbp_update_topic_walker ($topic_id,  '', 0, 0, true) ;
	}

It’s not the answer, but might help get to the solution problem

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

So there is some code in bbpress that can fix the link (I am guessing by changing something in the database?).

yes it is the function ‘bbp_update_topic_walker ‘ called in my code 🙂 🙂

I’ll look further at why it isn’t recalculating based in that info

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

‘It looks like if the fix was inside bbp_topic_freshness_link() it would be much easier to test, ;’

agree but it just wouldn’t work there, that is not where or when the issue is occurring.

Try

add_action ('bbp_new_topic_post_extras', 'rew_spam_update_last_active', 10 ,1 ) ;

function rew_spam_update_last_active ($topic_id) {
	//this function tests if a new topic has been marked as spam by Akismet.  If so then the last active date will be wrong
	//So we use topic walker to recalculate it
	if (!empty (get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_akismet_user_result' ))) {
	bbp_update_topic_walker ($topic_id,  '', 0, 0, true) ;
	}
}

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

ok,

1. create a page called ‘profile’, it needs no content, but make sure the permalink is ‘profile’
2. in dashboard>settings>wp members>pages>profile select the profile page

then use this code

add_action( 'template_redirect' ,'rew_profile' ) ;

function rew_profile () {
	update_option ('rewurl' , $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']  ) ;
	if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']   ==  '/profile/') {
	$user_id =get_current_user_id() ;
	$url = bbp_get_user_profile_url( $user_id ) ;
	exit( wp_redirect( $url ) );
		}
}

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

if it works for a topic, then I’ll do the code for a reply, which is basically changing mthe word topic to reply 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

ok, give this a try – it may or may not do the trick !!

add_action ('bbp_new_topic_post_extras', 'rew_spam_update_last_active', 10 ,1 ) ;

function rew_spam_update_last_active ($topic_id) {
	//this function tests if a new topic has been marked as spam by Akismet.  If so then the last active date will be wrong
	//So we use topic walker to recalculate it
	if (!empty (get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_akismet_user_result' ))) {
	bbp_update_topic_walker ($topic_id) ;
	}
}

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

just posting this link here for reference for me 🙂

Akismet causing “recent topics” problem?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

@sbask – sorry so many users I can’t remember – did we fix this one, and if so how?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

yes it does (and does so on here as well!).

I’m just a helper here, not a bbpress author.

I don’t run akismet on my test site. Are you able to replicate the problem so that we can check a fix if I am able to work up some code?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

is this the free plugin here

WP-Members Membership Plugin

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

ok, quite a while ago that I last looked at this area, I’ll try and take a fresh look when I can.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

Try this

bbp Mentions Suggest

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

no problem, glad that you are fixed 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

I fully understand – you have an issue where one forum is not showing. Given that showing these forums are settings within your theme or LMS, not within bbpress, then it most likely that it is a setting somewhere within this.

so you can try one last thing

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

then if you srea still convinced that it is not theme or plugin, you can prove this using

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 3 years ago]

I don’t use either the theme or LMS, so I can’t say what settings you would need to look at, can only suggest you contact the theme author, or plugin authors of restrict content and/or LMS
