This says to use 30? Or is that out of date:

go to

bbPress

then on right hand side select ‘advanced view’

and at the bottom you’ll find previous versions – select 2.5.14

Thanks for the time/code but closed bbpress this morning and moved to discourse. Lost the perfect integration with wordpress but this is a way more convenient way for me to handle a community maybe too big for bbpress

If you want to remove moderation, I think this will do it

add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

If someone could test and report back, that would be useful. I have no time availability to do this 🙂

After installing bbPress, I noticed my footer on the Forum pages is skewed. All the Social Link menu is stretched on just the forum pages. None of my other pages have a problem.

I created a trac ticket here in the hopes this might get progressed more easily:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3284#ticket

[Chuckie]

Here is a result of my particular situation. I think a feature in bbPress is now working correctly whereas it did not before.

If you go to your WordPress Settings | Discussion area there is an option to tell it when to flag a message for moderation based on the number of links. Mine was set to 2. This is why the users post was flagged. It had 3 links.

When I tried 2 links it still when to pending. When I tried with 1, it was accepted. I increased my limit to 4 and now it will accept 3 links. So that is one reason.

The second reason is inserting images (using MCE toolbar). It will not let the user insert more than one image into the post (unless they are admin). I do not know how to increase this as I would also like it to be capped at 4 but there are no settings provided for images. I think the same will apply for videos.

Please look at the associated, more active discussion on this subject. There are lots of users who now have to approve every post. I have provided comments in that discussion instead.

I suggest you review that discussion. True, there are complaints, which are all to easy to roll of the tongue, but the point it things have changed. I don’t want to repeat my feedback so please see the other thread.

I personally need to find a way to control things going into pending. It should only do so if it thinks it needs moderation. Not all posts. The other discussion I found the function that changed the way posts are moderated so so thing must be askew there.

If your forum is working ok then are you on WordPress 5.3? What are your WordPress discussion settings set to for moderation? It might be an idea to become a admin on one of our sites. Best way to test because I expect this is a common solution.

When I click reply to a reply in a topic I am unable to type in the Visual Editor box. I can type into the Text Editor but it will not show in the Visual Editor box.

The forum-beginner-posts plugin was updated a week ago. Since that is the plugin that adds in the visual editor, I’m wondering if that update caused a conflict somewhere, maybe with either the bbpress or buddypress plugins?

I had a lost at the differences between 2.5.4 and 2.6.1 for when it comes to moderation and I saw the new function. It is interesting that it refers to these hooks:

bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation

bbp_bypass_check_for_blacklist

Apparently you can use these hooks and if they return true it will stop performing the moderation check. I don’t know how to implement these hooks, and I am not telling anyone they should implement them. Moderation is a good thing when ti works as intended.

I had a look at my own WordPress Settings | Discussion Settings which is where I understand this gets all the behaviour from and my blacklist and whitelist are empty anyway. But I do have another checkbox ON:

Comments must be approved

I had that on because in my website posts where comments are allowed I wanted control. I don’t know if it is this checkbox that is the cause of every topic and reply needing moderation.

That said, in the same settings page in WP it has options for sending out an email whenever a comment goes into moderation and that is not honoured. So maybe none of these settings are taken into account?

wordpress 5.3
bbpress 2.6.1

Hello,
I am noticing in the last few days and that is even prior to upgrading to wordpress 5.3 the bbpreply widget which lists the recent replies does not list the replies CLEARLY as it used to.

After the listing there is line now added next to all new replies that says”<span class=”dashicons dashicons-visibility wvrbbp-fav-sub” style=”font-size:80%;vertical-align:middle;”></span>”.

This added line obviously is taking away the clean clear quality of the webpage making it look ugly like a coded page. Please advise. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

[ajmcastro]

Hi,

I’m using wordpress version 5.3–pt_PT and BBPress 2.6.1.

When i create a new topic, in a mobile, the text appears only on the right side of the creator identity. That makes that each line is very short and the text is extended in a lot of lines. The text does not occupy the area below. Please see in this link:

Que carro comprar

I would be really grateful for some help to solve this as mobile users are each time more.

Thanks!!

Hi guys,

We seem to have an issue when nested/threaded replies are allowed. Instead of having the replies neatly appearing one under another, they seem to be squished all together. Please take a peek at the screenshot in hopes of it better explaining the issue at hand:
When threaded replies aren’t allowed, everything looks peachy fine (of course!) and the comments just fall neatly in line.

We have heavily modified the CSS so that we could get the visuals as our client requested, however we have only noticed this issue after updating WordPress, the theme and bbPress (we’re not sure which one of the three, if any, could have been the source of the issue at hand).

If anything has any suggestions or if you need any additional info to offer any insight, please let us know!

Thank you in advance. 🙂

Hi,

im building a new WordPress political website using the “Candidate” theme. Also, Im considering adding Buddypress too. What we are trying to figure out is how to add a full forum to a page, listed in the navigation list using this theme. Will we need to have a theme package or some kind of template? I would prefer the page to match the others. Im trying to at least duplicate the forum i have already at http://www.fedupwithliberals.com, which is currently a Simple Machines forum. I have seen Buddypress using the Boss theme, it seems pretty complex, but would make a nice stand-alone site. The link to the ‘Candidate” theme demo is http://velikorodnov.com/dev/candidate/home-v1/ . I would be happy with a nice full-featured forum on that site, but am wondering if i can add buddypress too? Would there be a bbpress template that can be added to the page made for the forum so the page will match the rest of the site?

Thanks,
delta5

IMO small icons among text looks very bad. IMO it would be better, if icons are on left like in XenForo forus.

See
https://www.sanaristikkofoorumi.net/wordpress/2019-11-16-13-40-47-www-sanaristikkofoorumi-net-58b4f9888eb8/

On the right side is a sidebar, where small icon is on the left like here in the freshness list ( I just don’t like that the position is not always the same.

It would be nice, if bbPress fourums could look as default more professional.

[Chuckie]

Thanks for your reply John. At the moment I do know enough about the mechanics of core WordPress functionality. Pity there is not a “php for dummies for WordPress” :).

I’m currently having this issue on one of my forum. I’m an administrator. I can’t type a reply in Visual, but I can type in the Text tab. Running bbPress 2.6.1 and WordPress 5.2.4 (bbPress updated automatically but the sysadmin has to get involved to update WP)

[Chris Taylor]

I upgraded to 2.6.1 and my topic replies are not being displayed. Debug toolbar shows that there are two database errors being thrown, both like this:

SELECT COUNT(wp_posts.ID)
FROM wp_posts FORCE INDEX (PRIMARY, post_parent)
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta ON wp_postmeta.post_id = wp_posts.ID AND wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_reply_to'
WHERE 1=1 AND (wp_posts.ID = 76 OR wp_posts.post_parent = 76)
AND wp_posts.post_type IN ('topic', 'reply')
AND wp_postmeta.meta_key IS NULL
AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish')
ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date ASC

Table 'site_name.wp_posts' doesn't exist

The list of forums and topics works fine.

Like many WordPress installations I have a custom prefix for my database tables (“wp_****_”) and it appears that bbPress 2.6.1 is using that for some queries and not others.

[boberry]

Users and an Admin are not able to post replies to posts in the forums. Is anyone else experiencing that issue?

Before 5.3, we used 5.2.4 WordPress.
bbpress is 2.5.14 is the last version.

Hello!
Is it possible to link WordPress user role with bbpress user role?
For example, I have users on WordPress who are “subscribers”, but if they stop paying they automatically go to “customers”.
I would like to automatically convert a “customer” in WordPress to “locked” in bbpress.
This is possible? how?
Thanks!!!

[Pascal Casier]

One last question @pipipi07: What was the previous version of WordPress you had?
thx.

[hyo1990]

Hi there,

I’ve updated the plugin BB Press to the latest version (2.6.1), but the subforums display situation isn’t solved (We have 2 forums (Defense of the ancients & Legion Tower Defense) with subforums associated – The 1st one displays them in a incorrect way, and the 2nd doens’t display at all)

Tried searching the previous topics, but coulnd’t find any information regarding it (after the release of 2.6.1)

Thanks in advance

Wordpress: version 5.3
BBPress: version 2.6.1
Website: https://firstbloodgaming.com/forums/ (which is the affected page)

[pipipi07]

If default=21, I was able to input 7 characters in Japanese!
Apparently, 18-20 can be up to 6 characters, 21-23 can be up to 7 characters, 24 can be up to 8 characters in Japanese. This was a new discovery!

When bbPress was changed to 2.6, wordpress was upgraded to 5.3 as well. As you say, it may have an impact. I will try a little more to find out what’s wrong.
For the time being, I decided to set 60 instead of 20.

Thank you for your cooperation!
