Hi. I get a “There has been a critical error on this website.” error message when responding to a topic on the front-end of our website. All was working well until recently, but now responding to topics stopped working…

Not sure if this is related to using WordPress Version 6.4.1?
I have tried disabling plugins, but the issue persists…

I do not use any theme as I use Oxygen Builder which “disables” any WordPress theme and overwrites them. I have not had any update on Oxygen for a while and bbPress was working fine all this time…

Also, finally, I have disabled and re-enabled the plugin and re-saved all the settings, but again, the issue persists…

I am using PHP 8.2. How can I fix this issue?

[Robin W]

ok, 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

it is unusual to see index.php included in a url

https://meltdowncnc.com/wordpress2/index.php/forums/topic/website-test-committee-input/

what theme are you using?

[electech1313]

Not that I’m aware of. Meaning something in WordPress or elsewhere?

[electech1313]

See previous post and…

I just noticed that when I click that link, it redirects to

Edit Ad

I really don’t know how that happened or how to fix it.

I hope this doesn’t go through more than once. It said I’ve already sent but it isn’t showing on my screen that is did.

I recently installed bbpress and AWPCP Classifieds. Whenever a user clicks the edit button to edit their post, it takes them to a page that asks for the Ad email and access key. This page is default with AWPCP and is called -Edit Ad. Inside that page is the shortcode [AWPCPEDITAD]. I disabled the AWPCP plugin to test and the result was when a user clicked the edit button, it then just shows the shortcode text from the -Edit Ad page. I am little more than a beginner when it comes to web development. I have built a few websites but they are all basic and mostly wordpress sites. This is the site address if you would like to look at it. https://meltdowncnc.com/wordpress2/

The site is for testing. Hopefully once it is done, I can put it into service for my club. Thanks if anyone can help.

I believe that Method 1 was used to create the forum page, but I cannot find any pages associated with this name in the WordPress pages section.

[kelixirr]

Serious css issues I am facing:

1. My reply content are overflowing out of the box and subsequent replies are not properly inheriting the CSS styles even of the buddress and the styles that I added. Check my site here: https://neuraldemy.com/forums/topic/subscription-payment-related-queries/

Other questions that I need help with:

1. How to allow the use of Markdown in forum editor?
2. How to highlight the first topic so that it can stand out from the crowd of replies just like wordpress org forums main topic.
3. How to keep the author’s details and photo above the content (just like the WordPress org has) and shift this line “This topic was modified 1 day, 4 hours ago by XYZ.” below the content.
4. How to allow admin or moderator to highlight the best reply of reply that contains solution or to ping the solution reply below the main topic.

Certainly! In the WordPress REST API, creating a new topic and assigning it to a parent forum involves utilizing the wp/v2 endpoints for both forums and topics. To achieve this, you can follow these steps:

### 1. Get the Forum ID
Firstly, you’ll need to know the ID of the parent forum to which you want to assign the new topic. You can retrieve this ID by making a GET request to the forums endpoint, typically /wp/v2/forums.

For example:
`http
GET /wp/v2/forums
`

### 2. Create a New Topic
Make a POST request to the topics endpoint, usually /wp/v2/topics, providing the necessary parameters including title, content, and forum to link it to the specific forum.

For example:
`http
POST /wp/v2/topics
Content-Type: application/json

{
“title”: “New Topic Title”,
“content”: “Content of the new topic”,
“forum”: <forum_id>
}
`
Replace <forum_id> with the ID of the parent forum retrieved from step 1.

### Example Using cURL
Using cURL, the process might look something like this:
`bash
curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d ‘{“title”:”New Topic Title”,”content”:”Content of the new topic”,”forum”:1}’ https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/topics
`
Replace https://yoursite.com with your actual WordPress site URL and 1 with the ID of the desired forum.

Remember to authenticate the API request if your WordPress site requires authentication for creating new content.

This approach allows you to create a new topic and assign it to a parent forum via the WordPress REST API. Adjust the endpoint URLs and parameters as needed based on your specific WordPress configuration.

I updated an issue about this on bbPress trac: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3355#comment:4

Hey guys,

the forums index is not showing and causing the site design to break whilst topics pages remain displaying fine.

WordPress version: 6.4.1
Theme: Divi version: 4.23.1
bbPress version: 2.6.9

https://umaps.org.uk/forums/

Index slug /forums
Other pages called forums? No (bin empty as well).
I’ve done what was suggested in the bbp style pack and cleared static css files and disabled the option.

I’ve also set the permalink structure to post name and saved it a couple of times.

Can you help me with this?

Warm wishes,
Maria

Hello! I’m interested in having a forum for each of my classes that I have through Learndash and have setup bbpress to create those class forums, however, I need help with how to keep students in the class after they submit a question or reply in the forum. Right now, after they submit their question it takes them to the bbpress forum area but I’d like them to stay in the class. Any ideas on how to achieve that?

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

‘how to quote a post or comment without using any plugin.’

you could try using a Ouija board, but otherwise you will need code in either theme or plugin.

You could pay someone to cut some theme code, but of course that won’t be maintained unless you take out some sort of maintenance agreement with the author.

Adding a plugin will not make any difference in load time that anyone would notice (or indeed most software could time), and if you use caching software nothing measurable at all over theme code.

bbp style pack

has a quotes section

[Robin W]

I think you are using the 2023 theme.
This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need 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

Hello,

I am trying to follow the step-by-step instructions, and I am still having trouble displaying the main forum page. I am trying to use method 1. I checked and verified the settings.

I added some test forums and topics, and I can see them in the backend.
Forum Root = Forums
Permalink structure is set to POSTNAME
Category | Tag base left blank (default)

I created a page called Forums and nothing displayed.
I tried adding the shortcode and still nothing appears.

I am referring to: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#3-%c2%a0creating-a-forum-page

Wordpress : 6.3.2
bbp Version 2.6.9

Thanks in advance.
Fills silly to be stuck so early on in the process.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping you can help me.

I am using WordPress version 6.3.2 and bbPress version 2.6.9. Earlier today, I installed a plugin called ‘BuddyPress Username Only’ which caused the whole of my site to have a critical error, so I went into recovery mode and deactivated and uninstalled the plugin. This fixed everything except my bbPress forum which still has a critical error as can be seen at https://railjunction.uk/forums/.

I deactivated and uninstalled bbPress then reinstalled it, but the error is still present.

Please can someone help me fix this? Thanks in advance. And yes, I have now learned my lesson about installing old plugins!

[Robin W]

I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.

The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.

My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.

bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.

I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.3 and php 8.1 with no issues.

The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.

However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this

bbp style pack

as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.

All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.

The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.

But with open software you make your choices….

Hello all, I recently noticed that there has not been a significant update to the bbPress core for two years. Is the plugin still set to have further updates to keep up with PHP changes and WordPress?

Thank you,

Bonjour,

Je n’ai pas trouvé l’objet de mon problème sur le forum et j’espère ne pas faire de doubleblon. Dans le cas contraire, veuillez m’excuser.

Suite à la perte de notre forum lors de la mise à jour du php de notre blog wordpress, je cherche à réinstaller bbpress.
Il me semble avoir suivi la procédure : dans extensions > ajouter > bbpress > installer > activer.
D’après les tutos que j’ai trouvé, un menu “forum” devrait apparaître dans mon menu général à gauche, mais il n’y a aucun changement.
Pourriez-vous m’aider à résoudre ce problème s’il vous plait ?
