I’ve just taken a look.

bbpress uses the wordpress ‘untrash’ function to restore topics and replies.

That wordpress function includes a note saying

* By default posts that are restored will be assigned a status of 'draft'.
* Prior to WordPress 5.6.0, restored posts were always assigned their original status.

so this was a change in WordPress 5.6

However WordPress helpfully includes a hook we can link to to restore the previous status automatically

add_filter ('wp_untrash_post_status', 'wp_untrash_post_set_previous_status' , 10 , 3) ;

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

Hello there,

I just discovered a bug on bbpress (v2.6.9) : when you :

1) trash a reply,
2) then restore it,
3) that reply is definitely trashed instead of being restored

I reproduced this issue with wordpress default theme with no other plugins activated.

Did you noticed that also ?

Best regards

[Chuckie]

Resolved.

See:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-text-toolbar-2/

[Robin W]

ok so something like

add_filter ('generate_get_the_title_parameters' , 'rew_community', 10 , 1) ;

function rew_community ($params) {
	if (is_page ('community')) {
		$params = array(
			'before' => sprintf(
				'<h2 class="entry-title"%2$s><a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark">',
				esc_url( get_page_by_title( 'community' ) ) ),
				'microdata' === generate_get_schema_type() ? ' itemprop="headline"' : ''
			),
			'after' => '</a></h2>',
		);
	
	}
return $params ;
}

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

This occurs dependant on theme and set up.

The easiest way to fix it is

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs

and you can set the root breadcrumb to correctly go to where you want

[Robin W]

ok this is theme/page/wordpress setup rather than bbpress – if you look at the HTML then bbpress starts below this with

<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">

above this – it is not bbpress doing it.

[Robin W]

I can only suggest standard fault finding viz

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

My site with wordpress 5.9, bbpress 2.6.9 and style pack 4.9.1 (which has the bug fix automatically in it) with the visual editor turned on – all works fine

[Chuckie]

I am using latest bbPress and WordPress.

I have just noticed when I create a forum topic that whilst my tinymce toolbar is fine, when I click the Text tab I get an empty toolbar.

Why would that be? Is there no longer a text toolbar in WordPress?

I am attempting to convert a PHPBB3 forum to BBPress. Obviously it is failing (thus this post). It seems to run, and did change the name of the the admin account on the PHPBB forum. However, the rest of the process is as such:

Import Finished.
17.No threaded replies to import
16.No anonymous reply authors to import
15.No replies to import
14.No favorites to import
13.No topic subscriptions to import
12.No topic tags to import
11.No closed topics to import
10.No super stickies to import
9.No stickies to import
8.No anonymous topic authors to import
7.No topics to import
6.No forum subscriptions to import
5.No forum parents to import
4.No forums to import
3.No passwords to clear
2.No users to import
1.Skipping sync-table clean-up
Starting Import…
Ready to go.

What I am working with:

PHPBB3 = 3.2.11
BBPress = 2.6.9

Neither the old forum nor the new have any mods installed. BBPress is a virgin install on a virgin install of WordPress.

I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I end up with 2 similar posts, I apologize. I *think* my first post fell into the bitbucket, but if not it may appear as well.

Thanks in advance for any help!

This, though old, still works

ok. You should not get an error when deactivating bbpress, so something is causing this outside of bbpress itself.

You say you get a critical error – I need to know exactly what that says. You might need to turn n debug to get this.

Wordpress doesn’t make this easy !!

@robin-w, I think bbPress does just what you’re saying. But (if I understand things correctly) BuddyPress will change the WP “display name” (and/or “nickname” ???) when you update your name in the BP profile — If “synching” is on. I use BP, but I actually have synching OFF, so I’m not all that familiar with the details.

BTW, the same goes for email. You can change that in the BP profile too, and (if allowed) it updates it in WordPress.

[Mike Witt]

> I am using BuddyPress and tried your suggestion but it didn’t change anything

@keystonehdc,

Did you do a buddypress profile name update after checking profile syncing?
Checking that won’t affect changes that have already been done.

If you don’t need to change it through the buddypress profile, the there’s that plugin Robin suggested, or you could change in the WordPress user fields.

If buddypress is essential to what you’re doing, there is also a buddypress forum:

https://buddypress.org/support/

And also these guys, who seem so provide more answers than the official forum (they have a “paid” category but they answer question even if you don’t pay):

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses the wordpress display name, so any wordpress plugin that changes this should work eg

Easy Username Updater

[Robin W]

it maybe a dependant plugin issue? ie an additional plugin which needs bbpress

so the standard fault finding applies viz…

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Hi there,

I have been testing bbPress for my site but I am not sure it is the right fit.
And so, I disable it and it causes a critical error in WordPress. I enable it again and the site comes back.

I am using WP 5.9, DIVI theme 4.14.7

Site: https://wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/

I would like to test BuddyPress but I don’t want to do this while I have this issue with bbPress.

Let me know if you need any further info.

Many thanks,
Ollie

Is this a BuddyPress profile that you’re talking about? If so, do you have the Buddypress option “Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing” checked?

If you’re using buddypress, checking that will sync the WP profile changes with buddypress. Be aware that this may have other consequences than just changing the display name, and I’m not sure what all of them are 🙂

Good day all,
I want to change user name (my nickname) on my profile banner. I changed it under user – profile, but nothing happened. Any suggestions?

I’ve found the problem. There was an addon installed in WordPress from the previous hoster. That’s was causing the issue. After removing this, the problem was solved. Since it was not a plugin (in the plugins folder), it was hard to found.

Best,
Jelte
