Hi!
All my newly created forums are giving me this:
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

What could be the issue?

Hi!
I need the “keep me signed in” with the tickbox to be in one line, not like it is at the moment. Can you please instruct me on how to fix it? I know nothing of CSS..

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

and you will see the ability to add back keymaster.

Once done, you can deactivate and delete the style pack plugin, or you may find the other features useful

[Robin W]

try this -old but still works

bbPress Genesis Extend

[Robin W]

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

using unfiltered HTML is a wordpress capability, normally given to Editors and above, so standard subscribers should not be able to user HTML

Hi Robin,

thank you very much.

Currently it is not possible to make a nested reply on the first post of the topic. Only at the second post the nested reply works. I think that is not a concept of bbpress and has to do with the last wordpress update?

Kind regards

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I am at my wits end trying to figure this out….

I would like to get people automatically redirected to a page inside the forum instead of the WP dashboard, but it is not working. Here is what I have done so far:

1. After they are accepted into the program, they are sent to our register page: https://arianegoodwin.com/curiosity-cocktails-register-here/

2. I did figure out redirect code for after they register so they see this page:

Log In

(this is the code snippet I used for this):
// Redirect Registration Page
function my_registration_page_redirect()
{
global $pagenow;

// Standard Registration Redirect
if ( (strtolower($pagenow) == ‘wp-login.php’) && (strtolower($_GET[‘action’]) == ‘register’) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url(‘/register/’) );
}

// Redirection after successful registration
if ( (strtolower($pagenow) == ‘wp-login.php’) && (strtolower($_GET[‘checkemail’]) == ‘registered’) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url(‘/forums/log-in/’) );
}
}

add_filter( ‘init’, ‘my_registration_page_redirect’ );

3. After they click on the link in their email to create their password, they are getting sent to the WP Dashboard and I need them to go to this page instead:

Curiosity Cocktails Topic Map

I have tried using Peters Login Redirect and that has not worked. I have also tried using this code inside the Snippets, which isn’t working either:

// Send new users to a special page
function redirectOnFirstLogin( $custom_redirect_to, $redirect_to, $requested_redirect_to, $user )
{
// URL to redirect to
$redirect_url = ‘https://arianegoodwin.com/forums/curiosity-cocktails-topic-map/’;
// How many times to redirect the user
$num_redirects = 1;
// If implementing this on an existing site, this is here so that existing users don’t suddenly get the “first login” treatment
// On a new site, you might remove this setting and the associated check
// Alternative approach: run a script to assign the “already redirected” property to all existing users
// Alternative approach: use a date-based check so that all registered users before a certain date are ignored
// 172800 seconds = 48 hours
$message_period = 172800;

/*
Cookie-based solution: captures users who registered within the last n hours
The reason to set it as “last n hours” is so that if a user clears their cookies or logs in with a different browser,
they don’t get this same redirect treatment long after they’re already a registered user
*/
/*

$key_name = ‘redirect_on_first_login_’ . $user->ID;

if( strtotime( $user->user_registered ) > ( time() – $message_period )
&& ( !isset( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) || intval( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) < $num_redirects )
)
{
if( isset( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) )
{
$num_redirects = intval( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) + 1;
}
setcookie( $key_name, $num_redirects, time() + $message_period, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN );
return $redirect_url;
}
*/
/*

$key_name = ‘redirect_on_first_login’;
// Third parameter ensures that the result is a string
$current_redirect_value = get_user_meta( $user->ID, $key_name, true );
if( strtotime( $user->user_registered ) > ( time() – $message_period )
&& ( ” == $current_redirect_value || intval( $current_redirect_value ) < $num_redirects )
)
{
if( ” != $current_redirect_value )
{
$num_redirects = intval( $current_redirect_value ) + 1;
}
update_user_meta( $user->ID, $key_name, $num_redirects );
return $redirect_url;
}
else
{
return $custom_redirect_to;
}
}

add_filter( ‘rul_before_user’, ‘redirectOnFirstLogin’, 10, 4 );

bbp style pack

Fix Threaded Replies Jump

[Robin W]

I’ve just taken a look at the front end restore.

The bbpress restore function calls a wordpress function wp_untrash_post which sets the restored status to ‘draft’.

I’m pretty sure that it didn’t used to do that, so am presuming it’s a wordpress change.

However if you are using

bbp style pack

then I’ve added a fix for this to the ‘bbpress bug fixes’ tab.

If you want code, then 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

Code Snippets

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

function rew_correct_untrash_status ($new_status, $post_id, $previous_status) {
	$post_check = get_post( $post_id );
	//update_post_meta ($post_id , 'rew_type', $post_check->post_type) ;
	//if it's a reply or topic, then change status back to $previous_status
	if ($post_check->post_type == bbp_get_reply_post_type() || $post_check->post_type == bbp_get_topic_post_type()) {
		$new_status = $previous_status ;
	}
return $new_status ;
}

[Robin W]

The code is in my style pack.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form

and tick option 18.

If this does not work, then it may be a theme or other plugin affecting

[Robin W]

ok, so you have users who have a wordpress role, but no bbpress role – yes?

If so, then testing for a bbpress role, or as you are suggesting a capability such as create_topic seems a sensible solution.

[Marco]

Hi Robin,

it’s in the frontend. In the head of the posts there is a button “Papierkorb” (recycle bin).

I check if the topic is listed in the wordpress-backend after clicking on the Recycle bin in the frontend. And there it is also removed.

[Marco]

Dear community,

if I want to delete a topic or a post by clicking on “Recycle Bin”, it is no longer possible to restore the topic/post because the “marked” object has already been removed from the database.
If I click on “Delete” again, the page is reloaded and I see all the topics that I had deleted. After reloading the page, these posts have disappeared.

I use the bbpress version 2.6.6. The wordpress version is 5.7.2. I am using the Avada theme. The forum is password secured, so it is not possible for me to share a link here.

Thank your very much if you know how to fix this issue.

Kind regards
Marco

I suspect those functions are bbpress version 1

bbpress 2.x just uses wordpress login, so the standard wordpress function

is_user_logged_in()

will tell you if the user is logged in.

[bobdobbs]

I’m wanting to create conditional logic that responds to whether a user is logged in to bbpress.

Googling helped me to find these two functions:

bb_current_user_can()
bb_is_user_logged_in()

However, when I use them, I get the error “Call to undefined function bb)…”.

This happens even when I tie my containing function to the hook ‘plugins_loaded’, which I believe fires after all activated plugins have loaded.

(I first tried to use the hook ‘wp’)

So I’m just double-checking…

Should I be able to use either of those two functions to test if a user requesting a resource is a logged-in bbpress user?

[ecarlson]

I’m not sure if this is an issue with bbPress or BuddyPress; forgive me if I’m posting this in the wrong place. I recently added BuddyPress to my installation which already had bbPress, and I see that when a BuddyPress group has a forum, it’s added to the list of forums like the bbPress ones. Awesome!

However, if I change the description of the BuddyPress group, the bbPress forum list still shows the old description. If I go to Forums > All Forums, I can edit the description which updates the description on the forums list. Is this a bug, or are you supposed to have to update it in two places? Is it allowing for some users to have a different description in bbPress vs BuddyPress?

I am running BBpress with the Highend theme. I have set up the forums and they look great, but the “subscribe” button is missing. “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics” is checked in the settings. I assume it’s a theme conflict, but without the forum subscribe button, the functionality for our users is crippled. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks!

ok, so if you are a keymaster then I can only suggest

1. reset the permalinks – dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets them.

2. if that doesn’t fix, it could be a theme or plugin issue

Apologies for opening an old thread, given w3 total cache is not ideally suited for caching for BBPRESS – but is good for wordpress, is there an alternative cashing plugin suitable for BBPRESS or is BBPRESS generally best left un cashed ?

Thanks

I’ve done something, but I don’t know what? I think the slugs for the ‘forum’ page may have had a conflict (there was a warning message, but I changed the names), and I think the tabs went missing after I rebuilt the tables, but the tabs have totally disappeared now, and I don’t know how to get them back. Its a backend issue, as its not affecting the front end – you can still get to the forum page
I uninstalled and deleted/reinstalled bbpress, and it hasn’t brought the tabs back.
I’m really worried that if I delete the Buddypress plugin, I will lose my settings and customer lists of Participants. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
