That’s a thought…
I gave up on this plugin a few years ago — it didn’t seem to do anything for me. Still doesn’t, unfortunately. There’s no difference with or without Genesis Extend.
Deactivating all of my other plugins doesn’t seem to help, either.
I’ve also tried copying css/bbpress.css to other themes, including the Genesis Sample and WordPress 2020. Both of these themes require bbpress.min.css, at least on my development server.
I’m using WordPress 5.3, bbPress 2.6.2.
Hi there!
I’m trying to get a bbpress forum set up on my site, and while we’ve got the majority of it set up the way we’d like, there’s an issue when someone tries to access the forum via mobile/smartphone.
The reply box seems to overflow over the edge of the screen, such as in this picture:
I tried to adjust the width of the bbpress-topic-form using the Custom CSS on my theme, but while this seems to work for narrow browser windows on desktop, the mobile view remains the same as it does in the picture above.
For reference, this was the code I was trying:
@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
#new-topic-0.bbp-topic-form{
width: 50%;
}
}
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what might be going on here? I’m running the Gridmag theme (not pro) at the minute, could that be causing a conflict?
Hi,
If you go on https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/bbpress+captcha/ it seems lots of them offer bbPress compatibility.
Hey there, sorry that you’re having this trouble.
Can you include a link to your forums so we can check them out?
Topic pagination can sometimes be thrown off by non-public replies, especially for moderators that have the ability to see them.
Pagination is also somewhat weird with hierarchical/threaded replies. That’s been a known issue since the beginning. It’s based on how WordPress does it with Comments, but has some extra behaviors due to the front-end nature of topic moderation.
Sorry again. We will figure it out!
ok, both topics and replies are custom post types, so the date of both is in the posts table, so no meta query needed.
so
‘post_type’ => array( ‘topic’, ‘reply ) if you want both
and look at
WP_Query
scroll down to date parameters to work out how to do the date
I can comment on this one. I do have the “attach media” GD plugin but not tested it. We don’t use WordPress add media here. We use the tinymce insert image and put a link it.
As previously mentioned yesterday, I can’t insert videos anymore if not admin because of the escaping of the HTML in the source tag which is crippling.
check you wordpress discussion settings and how many links it will trigger a reply to go pending.
Check your pending posts / replies.
this is because 2.6 has changed some wording and context, and the new translations have not been made yet
to fix the above either use this
add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3 );
add_filter( 'ngettext', 'rew_bbpress_translate' , 20 , 3 );
function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
$words = array(
'%s day' => '%s jour',
'%s days' => '%s jours',
'Last Post' => 'Dernier message',
);
$translated = str_replace( array_keys($words), $words, $translated );
}
return $translated;
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

or use the translations tab in my style pack plugin

hmm – that is interesting – this seems to refer to a plugin
bbPress Threaded Replies
which has not been supported for a number of years.
It is likely that 2.6.1 has revised a function which threaded replies uses, and therefor is no longer working.
Hi, I have two main topics and they have 4 and 3 subtopics respectively. For some reason, only the main topics on my forum page https://www.apis.de/forum/ are showing. I believe this changed with a recent update to either WordPress or BBpress. How do I display the sub-topics of each of the main 2 forum topics as well plz?
Hello, we’re using WordPress version Version 5.3, BuddyPress version 5.0.0, bbPress version 2.6.1 and our website is https://www.lightstalking.us. The theme we’re using is called Performag (Version: 1.409).
Two days ago we suddenly started to have this issue regarding posting images in forum threads – our forum participants can’t post images. They can upload them and hit the send button, but the images simply won’t show up in the thread.
The issue is not due to plugin incompatibility because it’s still there even when I disable all the plugins we have.
Let me know if there’s anything we can do to solve this.
Best,
Jasenka
I’ve perhaps uncovered a backwards compatibility issue with third party plugins that were using the now deprecated blacklist function.
In addition, everyone having issues here should remember that bbPress inherits many of the WordPress Discussion (Comments) settings. Moderation words, number of links, allowed tags, and a few others. If topics and replies are getting caught in moderation, comments of the same content would be also.
That said, the default behavior is NOT to land every single post in Moderation. If that is what is happening, something is broken.
Awesome indeed. I did not put two and two together. But then I noticed what it said on the screen:
Customise your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.
Doh!
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
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?
