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

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

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

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

can I have a link to see the issue please

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

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display>item 4

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

some themes requires this

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

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

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

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

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

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

BBpress Addon For Yoast SEO

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

You can add it to the menu

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

or you can use the
[bbp-login]
shortcode which will display a clickable link

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

possibly because you are using an FSE theme.

so try 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

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

great – thanks for the update 🙂

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

I’m not quite sure what point you are making.

bbPress does not support blocks, it may do at some future stage, but it does not do this now.

Wordpress support uses bbPress and has a fix they have decided to do in order to support blocks.

I did some experiments to see if I could get blocks working with bbpress.

I said in the other thread that I could not get blocks working with 19.7, so it is probably not surprising that you couldn’t either – I’m not sure why you thought this would work. I did get it to work with 16.7, but I have not tried it since 6.8 was released (nor do I plan to).

It is up to plugin authors to decide what they wish to support within their plugins, and whilst you think it would be good to be able to use blocks, this is entirely up to the authors of free software.

Whilst personally I would not wish to impose blocks on my forum users, as I find it unintuitive, I would support adding the capability for those that do want it.

For the time being, unless you can get it to work, then you have the editor as per this forum, or the visual editor which can be added using the bbp-style-pack plugin.

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

ok, I am just a guy trying to help, I do not work for bbpress, and I simply listed what I did on my test site to get it to work.

so I cannot help for your specific site, but you have installed guttenburg 20.x when the instructions say a different version.

But if the instruction don’t work, then you are on your own to get it going.

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

yes you need to follow the instructions

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

yes, if you wish to use the Gutenberg Editor, please see this thread for if and how to do this:

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

thanks for the update

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months ago]

thanks, please do post back their response to help others here

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months ago]

This post suggests it has been an issue for a while

Not working with ACF Pro 6.2.8 version.

seems to suggest an issue since version 6.0.5

I’d suggest you raise it again with ACF

bbpress 2.6.13 fixes the 6.8 wordpress issue

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months ago]

@chefranov

the new release is just for the above

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months ago]

There are many reasons why this might occur, that are site specific. This is not a known error with bbpress and more likely to be related to either the set up of your site, or 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

If that does not point to the error, then I’d suggest you contact your host provider for help.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months ago]

You would need to raise this for the image upload plugin support

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/image-upload-for-bbpress/

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months ago]

On the users, bbpress hooks to user_id’s, so in the database you would have a topic/reply author just held in the database as for instance 27, and then bbpress looks up the nicename for that in the user table, so no user in the table, then no name to display.

On import with no ‘import users’ if the username does not exist it puts it as 0, and then it is displayed as ‘anonymous’

So whist everything is possible if you can write code or know someone who can, there is no easy way to import usernames, as you would need to amend both the import code and the username display code.

I have no experience of phpBB, so cannot comment on the other aspects. The importer was written some time ago by someone who no longer is actively involved in bbpress.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months, 1 week ago]

thanks for that – I think I understand 🙂

so the function that is used to display replies is is held in

\bbpress\includes\replies\template.php line 576`

function bbp_get_reply_content( $reply_id = 0 ) {
		$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );

		// Check if password is required
		if ( post_password_required( $reply_id ) ) {
			return get_the_password_form();
		}

		$content = get_post_field( 'post_content', $reply_id );

		// Filter & return
		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_reply_content', $content, $reply_id );
	}

so

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'my_function', 10 , 2) ;

function my_function ($content, $reply_id ){
	//your code here 

}
