I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT FOLLOWS !!!

BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST !!

see

Remove post_status Spam Posts from WordPress

but this should do it

DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status = "spam"

It will not get rid of post meta for these.

@invoke_media_group – This forum topic does not have anything to do with your issue/problem. So please create a new forum topic for your different issue/problem. Also you should do standard troubleshooting steps first before posting your new forum topic: deactivate all other plugins to see if another plugin is causing the problem, comment out any custom functions you have created in your theme functions.php file, switch your current theme to a WordPress theme: 2017, 2016… When you post a bbPress forum topic you need to include these things: what WordPress version you have installed, bbPress version you have installed and what troubleshooting steps you have already performed.

You should also probably include the relevant code in file: /bbpress/includes/core/template-function.php on line 316 (shown below) and that this function: bbp_get_template_stack() uses this filter: bbp_get_template_stack to Call the functions added to the ‘bbp_template_stack’ filter hook, and return an array of the template locations. There is also a related bug here that appears to have already been fixed: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2871

	// Sort.
	if ( class_exists( 'WP_Hook' ) ) {
		$filter = $wp_filter[ $tag ]->callbacks;
	} else {
		$filter = &$wp_filter[ $tag ];

		if ( ! isset( $merged_filters[ $tag ] ) ) {
			ksort( $filter );
			$merged_filters[ $tag ] = true;
		}
	}

Custom bbPress/BuddyPress Theme & tested switching to WP Twenty Seventeen Theme
Tried creating a bug ticket on trac, but was not allowed to login and do so.

Issue: In previous versions of bbPress this code below worked fine in my Theme functions.php file. As of bbPress 2.5.12 this code is no longer working in my Theme functions.php file. I checked output and bbPress Core code and did not see anything obvious. Output was good. ie $role and $caps, but it appeared that the filter was not being processed in time when the Activity template loaded. So I moved this code to the BuddyPress /plugins/bp-custom.php file and this code works fine. So obviously this some kind of init or loading order type of issue. ie the filter is being processed too late.

// bbPress Disable Topic Tags for Participants
function aitpro_get_caps_for_role_filter( $caps, $role ) {
	
	if ( $role == 'bbp_participant' )
		$caps = aitpro_get_caps_for_role( $role );

	return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'aitpro_get_caps_for_role_filter', 10, 2 );

function aitpro_get_caps_for_role( $role ) {
	switch ( $role ) {
		/* Disable Topic Tags for Participants */
		case 'bbp_participant':
			return array(
 
				// Primary caps
				'spectate'              => true,
				'participate'           => true,

				// Forum caps
				'read_private_forums'   => true,

				// Topic caps
				'publish_topics'        => true,
				'edit_topics'           => true,

				// Reply caps
				'publish_replies'       => true,
				'edit_replies'          => true,

				// Topic tag caps
				'assign_topic_tags'     => false, // Using false disables allowing Participants to create Topic Tags

			);
			break;
		default :

		return $role;
	}
}

Any post or reply on any forum throws an error after a long time of trying to submit the post [an error occurred while processing this directive]

The post or reply is successful, you can see it when you reload the page. When you make a post or reply and click submit, you can reload the page almost immediately and see that the post was made, not sure why it hangs so long and then shows [an error occurred while processing this directive]

I have tried this with WordPress 2016 theme with the same outcome. It does not do this on my local development server. This is not a new problem but I have just updated to the latest version and it still happens.

We have upgraded to the latest versions of WordPress (4.7) and BBPress (2.5.12). We are seeing javascript errors now for finding the BBPress.css in the Child Theme.

http://insequence.online/wp-content/themes/flatbase-child/style.css/bbpress/bbpress.css?ver=4.7 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

I have copied the BBPress folder into the root directory of the child theme, though the link above states it should be in a structure below the style.css. This cannot be done, is there somewhere I can modify where it is looking or do I need to do something different to get past this?

Hello,

I need help setting up a forum. I have installed BuddyPress and bbPress 2.5.12-6148. I have WordPress 4.6.1. The gist of the forum and the specs that I’m aiming for are:

1) I want the forum to appear in my menu bar like the support menu option above.
2) I want the forum page to be essentially look like the support forum page on this site, where each time a topic is created it’s added to that page in an ongoing list.
3) I need there to be an effective search feature that allows users to find a company (which will be the topic title) so they can add to that stream instead of having multiple streams about the same company.
4) I want the forum to be accessible via paid membership only.
5) I want the moderator, and only the moderator, to have a tool to mark an issue “resolved” such as a different color font, bold highlighted font, etc. But I want to do this without closing the thread so that every time there’s an issue that same thread can be used.

If you can help, please let me know what your rates are. And if those rates are hourly, approximately how long you think this project will take.

Too late to edit my reply, I’d like to point out the fact that I was looking in the wrong area for replacing the wp avatar (with the bp one) as obviously in a forum, the avatar of each reply is attached to the… reply!

That way I added a filter on the bbp_get_reply_author_avatar method instead of the bbp_get_current_user_avatar one.

Personally, I’m not done as I am going to track down every part of my website where the wrong avatar gets displayed (which obviously means going through the wordpress code), but that’s not a bbpress concern anymore.

(I don’t know if there is like a “resolved” mark to give or something, but I’m all done with this topic 🙂 )

[selly]

I received the same error message and I just updated all of my plugins as well as my version of wordpress.

[ysiggen]

Okay so I am coming back here as I resolved it (it was quite easy actually, I am just very new to wordpress and also php programming).

I just had to use the bp_core_fetch_avatar() function instead of the get_avatar() one.
So, I had to call the correct function at the correct location and that’s all. Here is what I put in my function.php :

//Make bbpress use the buddypress avatar instead of the wp one
function bbp_get_bp_reply_author_avatar( $reply_id = 0, $size = 40 ) {
                $reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
                if ( !empty( $reply_id ) ) {
                        // Check for anonymous user
                        if ( !bbp_is_reply_anonymous( $reply_id ) ) {
                                //Below is the old line
                                //$author_avatar = get_avatar( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ), $size );
                                //Below is the new line
                                $author_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id) ) );
                        } else {
                               // $author_avatar = get_avatar( get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email', true ), $size );
                                $author_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email') ) );

                         }
                } else {
                        $author_avatar = '';
                }

                return $author_avatar;
        }
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'bbp_get_bp_reply_author_avatar');

[haddlyapis]

If i go to the forum page http://www.apis.de/forum (then log in) and click on one of the two latest posts then bbpress/wordpress logs me out. If i press Ctrl + F5 then it logs back in. This does not happen when i click on a different post within the topics, but only on the two latest posts.
Please advise

I’m looking for a plugin that will add a simple “like button” for topic replies, but am having no luck on that front without paying for a plugin. This one is the only one I’ve found that works, but the free version only allows 1 button per page. https://wordpress.org/plugins/likebtn-like-button/

Does anyone know of any other plugins that can accomplish this, or any other solutions involving bbpress customization?

[Robin W]

the code goes in your functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

If you are just after changing the name -then the style pack plugin will let you do this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robin W]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

WP 4.7, bbPress 2.6a http://wordpress-6213-13994-191680.cloudwaysapps.com/forums/

Having converted from PHPBB 3.1.10 and run all of the repair functions I am having a few issues with things not being correctly reported.
1. All of the voices counts are set zero.
2. Last activity is incorrect; http://wordpress-6213-13994-191680.cloudwaysapps.com/forums/forum/general-hysterectomy/alternatives-to-hysterectomy/ says forum last updated 4 months ago but topics show from just 2 months ago.

I had to use 2.6a to get the import from PHPBB; should I switch to 2.5.11 now?

Wordpress Version 4.7
bbPress Version 2.5.12

I’m very new to all of this and I just installed and activated bbpress. I’ve searched and I cannot find instructions for connecting a menu item I created “Discussion Forums” to the actual forums. I see that there are slugs and short codes in the settings menu of the dashboard, but I can’t figure out how to make it all work.

Please help. thanks

My WordPress version is 4.7
My website link is http://www.theparadigmshiftgroup.com
I have already searched for my question in bbPress support forum (where I am posting now), there are previous threads on this question but the plugin mentioned at that time is now unsupported now (bbPress like topics, last updated 2 years ago). Another thread on the same topic don’t have reply. So I decided to bring this matter into the attention of bbPress authors again. If bbPress already contains this feature, please let me know as well.

bbPress don’t have a voting up feature built in. So the topics get sorted by just last activity and not popularity. A forum seems incomplete without a voting option for topics and replies.

I tried different plugins for this feature. There are many plugins on voting but they are mostly for WordPress posts, not bbPress topics and replies. Some plugins are able to put a “Vote Up” option above the topic, but it doesn’t help the topics to get sorted based on it. Some plugins only shows “vote up” written and instead of a button. Moreover these plugins only can vote topics and not the replies.

Please also include a feature to show the number of votes besite the topic in feeds. Because people choose which topic to read in the feed page.

I always found this community very helpful. I am sure this issue will get noticed.
