sorry, I’m just a free volunteer, I generally don’t have the time to look at individual problems, and this seems to be specific to your site.

I am suspicious that it might be caching software – can you confirm that neither your site or hoster use this, or if they do as a test disable.

I would also try

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

Then I would do the following

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

Ok, so beloaw is the most recent response from Cloudways. Can anyone from bbPress possibly provide the info requested so we can properly exclude this from Redis? Thanks!

————————-
These specific errors typically occur due to the buddy boss caching group conflicting with the Redis keys.
It is usually essential to exclude some of the cache groups/plugins to ensure that there are no conflicts due to different ways of handling of cache key which can cause issues with transients.

If any conflicts are observed, the best way to do this is to exclude them as instructed in the guide below:-

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/understanding-ignored-groups-and-how-to-best-apply/

https://objectcache.pro/docs/ignoring-groups

This typically requires a bit of testing due to different caching statuses which can still be utilized to ensure the proper allocation of resources.

We have already implemented a documented fix that was typically applied by Buddy Boss:-
https://github.com/buddyboss/buddyboss-platform/issues/1715

However, despite numerous methods, the issue remains. Due to the circumstance of this issue, it’s imperative to check in with the plugin team before excluding their groups further, they can typically provide proper cache groups which can ensure perfect performance as other caching groups involving BuddyBoss typically was not documented and could have a negative performance impact if excluded without proper evaluation.

Significant Problem:

Every few days, some Sub-Forums stop displaying!  This seems to happen after a new topic is added.  I’m not sure when this problem started.  Currently, the “HIKING” sub-forums do not display.  Sometimes I can get this issue to reset by changing the Sub-Forums Visibility setting to “Public” and then back to “Private”.  I clear browser histories and resave Permalinks.  But this is a temporary solution.  With my limited knowledge, I’ve spent many many hours trying to pinpoint the cause and resolve this.  I now set up a test copy site, that is using the WP 2022 theme with only 2 plugins: a page builder and bbPress.  And there are no bbPress scripts in the Function.php file.  The problem still persists.  Any assistance would be very greatly appreciated!  Testing site: https://staging39.wilmingtontrailclub.org/bbpress-forum-test/

bbp style pack

once activated go to

[Robin W]

best I can offer is

bbp profile information

[ASR Martins]

Hi there,
Recently I have noticed that all bbPress forum topics are not showing, even though the forum is set to “public”.
All replies show but all topics can only be read in the WP back-end. So nobody can read any topics.
Can somebody please help?
I have deactivated all other plugins and I have used different themes, including twenty-twenty-three, but nothing helped.
I am using WordPress 6.3.1 and bbPress 2.6.9
Website: https://www.asrmartins.com/new-forum-topics/
Thanks
Basie Martins

[Robin W]

so to answer (or not!) your questions

by default the forum page is /forums you can amend this by changing the slug in dashboard>settings>forums or by using a page with a shortcode – see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

No idea what ‘ Hearthpwn’s deck builder to query Hearthstone’s card API ‘ means so cannot answer, but in terms of customization, then try this additional plugin, which has a ton of customizations in it.

bbp style pack

bbpress just uses the WordPress user account, and there is no way to detach this. But bbpress has a whole set of roles of it’s own, so if you set the user WordPress role to ‘no role for this site’, you pretty much achieve the same thing.

[severalfeet]

Hi all, hope you’re doing well – this isn’t a request for help but more some clarity on some questions I have.

I have a website designed entirely with Oxygen builder. I want to create a new page, something like coolsite.com/forum which would be the homepage for the forum – coolsite.com/otherpage will not be part of the forum and will be considered a different silo.

I’m thinking of making something similar to Hearthpwn’s deck builder to query Hearthstone’s card API and was wondering how feasible this is. Does bbPress have that degree of customization?

Also, I’d really like users to be able to sign up for users which aren’t attached to WordPress – is there a way to do that with bbPress? So instead of using WordPress account manager, I can have control of it or another plugin maybe?

[sarkarify]

Hello Guys,

I got the solution of this issue, follow the steps:

1. Backup your whole wordpress account if something goes wrong.
3. Install and/or activate the bbPress plugin again if you have deactivated and/or delete it.
4. In WordPress administration panel, go to Tools -> Forums -> Reset Forums tab.
5. Check the delete imported users and Are you sure you want to do this? checkbox to acknowledge that the removal process cannot be undone.

6. Then click on reset bbpress button

and done the process will remove all the data of the bpress.

[ibnat]

In wordpress new post or page the youtube embed works every time. In bbpress new topic or reply it works sometimes and sometimes not (mostly not)… I am actually starting to think its a browser issue rather than wp, tinymce or bbpress.

[Robin W]

that’s almost certainly the ‘blocks everywhere’ plugin.

I don’t personally like blocks for forums, my logic is that most people (who don’t admin WordPress sites) are entirely unfamiliar with the concept of blocks, and they are far from intuitive to use.

I much prefer the tinyMCE editor in either limited or full form.

But it’s personal preference 🙂 🙂

[Ricsca2]

On wordpress.org bbpress has various updates to this that we can download such as the gutemberg modules

[Robin W]

thanks

search should just look at the forums, but other elements such as themes or other plugins can change that.

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

the appearance>widgets that you showed are not widgets but sidebars that contain widgets – there is no bbpress sidebar.

[thxwp]

Hi,

This is the example that when a specific keyword is searched for in the bbpress search form, it searches across all pages on the site.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EYkLz82XYD86vsD9hhyM311blcNQ9wzh/view?usp=sharing

and I cannot find the bbpress widget on Appearance -> Widgets

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EYwCZvkd7GZbqPbFnF3ZbGVG0bnRS2UF/view?usp=sharing

FYI I am using a freeio theme (https://themeforest.net/item/freeio-freelance-marketplace-wordpress-theme/42045416)

Plese check them and let me know how to solve them.
Thank you

SUBJECT: Website Issue: http://www.martiniformazione.it/sito; WordPress Version 6.3.1 – BBpress Version: 2.6.9. When users register and generate their password, they are unable to log in afterward. They consistently receive an error message stating that the password is incorrect. Even when following the password reset procedure and receiving the link to generate a new password, after creating a new password and attempting to log in, they still encounter the same error message that the password is incorrect. However, if I, as the site administrator, go to the ‘Users’ section and select ‘Generate New Password,’ the password generated in this way works and allows access. Where do you think the problem lies? Thank you very much for all the invaluable support you can provide as soon as possibl

[alexandra440382]

I’ve found this easaly “header-subnav.php”

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

<?php if ( !is_front_page() ) : ?>
	<div id="subnav"><div id="subnav-inner">
		<ul id="nav-secondary" class="menu">
			<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() && function_exists( 'bbp_forums_url' ) ) : ?>
				<li><a href="<?php bbp_forums_url( '/new-topic' ); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Create New Topic', 'bborg' ); ?></a></li>
			<?php endif; ?>
		</ul>

		<ul id="nav-user" class="menu">
			<?php if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
				<li><a href="<?php echo wp_login_url(); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Log In', 'bborg' ); ?></a></li>
				<li><a href="<?php echo wp_registration_url(); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Register', 'bborg' ); ?></a></li>

[Robin W]

ok that is not a tweaked WordPress toolbar, just a ‘look alike’

the code would be somewhere in here

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

But it would take ages to find it, so sorry not sure I can help

[ibnat]

There doesn’t seem to be a “move topic” option in bbpress for an admin to use when a member posts in a wrong forum category.

I did find a plug but it is very old and unsupported: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-move-topics/

Surely this is a “must have” for forum administration?

Is there a reason why bbpress doesn’t come with this in the core?

Is there a way to implement it somehow?

[alexandra440382]

The tweaked default WordPress toolbar.

[Robin W]

if you mean the stuff on the left of this, then

install

bbp style pack

If you then go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>widgets

you will see additional widgets for the forum and topic info

if you can create a sidebar, you can add the forum info and topic info widgets there

Not exactly the left, but part way there !!

[Robin W]

public forums are visible to both logged in users and visitors
Private forums are only visible to logged in users.

If you want to have a more sub groups then add this further plugin

Private groups

[Robin W]

you could also add the

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support

which will give you some further instructions

[Robin W]

It does make sense that it would be related to a recent update…but if the problem persists when everything is disabled and I’m using a default WordPress theme, then how could something else still be affecting it?

There is always a reason, computers don’t start doing things differently for no reason, the problem is tracking that down 🙂 🙂

If this was a bbpress issue then 1. given no update in bbpress there is no change to affect your site so no reason for it to start happening and 2. this support forum would have hundreds of topics on the subject posted in the last few days.

My test forum continues to work fine.

so if not plugin update or theme change then a setting could be affecting.

so I’d suggest you switch debug on and see if that is showing any issues

https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-enable-debugging-in-wordpress/

after that we’re onto software higher up.

so what PHP version are you running?

[Josh Virkler]

Thanks so much for your kindness in being willing to volunteer and help support plugin users! That’s awesome.

as I said bbpress simply uses WordPress registration, so any wordpress/membership registration will work. Bbpress simply hooks to that registration in the background.
