ok, try

bbp style pack

once activated go to

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

and enable the visual editor

That may help

[Robin W]

are you just using bbpress default editor, or have you added the WordPress editor?

[Robin W]

email is the most complicated and hardest to debug !

It might be that as your forum becomes more popular, that bbpress method of bulk sending emails is getting them marked as spam – many email companies hate emails with multiple cc’s.

Hello,

I have the latest versions of WordPress, bbPress and bbp style pack

Users no longer receive email when they subscribe to a forum or topic.

The email is sent to the administration email but not to subscribers.

It’s not a mailbox problem. When there is a quote, it works.

It is not related to bbPress 2.6.5

Does anyone else have the same concern, is there a setting that I missed?

Thank you for helping me and sorry for my rough English.

I have a problem with the way breadcrumbs are being displayed on my search results screen.

First of all, I have the following (amongst other things) in my functions.php file:

/**
Just a simple breadcrumb trail, but, importantly, don't double up when we're at the root
**/
function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() {
	// Home - default = true
	$args['include_home']    = false;
	// Don't need breadcrumbs if we're at the root
	if ( apply_filters( 'bbp_no_breadcrumb', is_front_page() ) ) {
	// Forum root - default = true
		$args['include_root']    = false;
	// Current - default = true
		$args['include_current'] = false;
	}
	return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'mycustom_breadcrumb_options' );

/**
Search only the specified forum
**/
function my_bbp_filter_search_results( $r ){ 
    //Get the submitted forum ID
    $forum_id = sanitize_title_for_query( $_GET['bbp_search_forum_id'] );
    //If the forum ID exits, filter the query
    if( $forum_id && is_numeric( $forum_id ) ){
        $r['meta_query'] = array(
            array(
                'key' => '_bbp_forum_id',
                'value' => $forum_id,
                'compare' => '=',
            )
        );  
    }
    return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_search_results_parse_args' , 'my_bbp_filter_search_results' );

I have a search box on the forum home page and on the index page for each individual forum. For general navigation around my forum the breadcrumbs are presented as one might expect and search results are confined to those relevant to the current forum (or all forums from the home page).

The breadcrumbs on the Forum ‘home page’ show simply as Forums and on individual forum index pages as Forums > ForumName, where ‘ForumName’ is the name of the current forum, etc. A search request from the Forum home page returns results as expected, with the breadcrumbs displayed as Forums > Search > Search Results for 'search string'. However, while a search from one of the individual forum index pages returns the refined search results as expected, the breadcrumbs are always displayed as Forums > Search > Search Results for 'search string', they don’t include the name of the forum that has been searched (i.e. Forums > ForumName > Search > Search Results for 'search string'.

I think I can see that the search is actually being applied to all forums, then refined by the relevant function in the functions.php file, so I think I can see why I might have to do a little extra work to get the relevant forum name displayed in the breadcrumb, but can anyone suggest how I might do this? It would seem that I should be able to add a little more code to my mycustom_breadcrumb_options() function, but what exactly…?

Thanks for any assistance anyone can offer.

That’s why I said it is a fresh install. Literally…installed WordPress, bbpress, created a forum and it doesn’t work.

I am seeing this error in the posts when posting / updating a post:

Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘publish_topics’ not found or invalid function name in …/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 287

Am using WordPress 5.4.1, Buddypress 6.0.0, bbPress 2.6.5, and PHP 7.1.33 .

I’ve tried @robin-w snippit above but didnt work with my current wordpress version(latest one according to the date of my post) but i managed to get it working with this snippit if anyone needs it.

Note: I’m a beginner to wordpress and bbpress so there might be other better ways of doing this.

function change_role(){
$user_id = $user->ID ;
if( current_user_can(‘administrator’)){

bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, ‘bbp_keymaster’ );

}
}
add_action(‘wp_login’, ‘change_role’);

[sleestak]

I have posted this before, but I still can’t get this to work. I have threaded replies enabled, but my replies are not indenting. To determine if it was an issue with my theme, I created a brand new WordPress test site and tried all of the included test themes and indenting does not work on any of them. The only plugins I have are bbpress and the bbpress style pack. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Like WordPress, bbPress uses a semi-decimal-based versioning system, where bbPress 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 are considered major versions.

bbPress 2.6 was a major update with just under 6 years of development:

This version of bbPress has been in development for just a bit under 6 years (yikes!) over which 420 tickets were resolved via 1737 individual code commits.

The Full list of releases is available on the bbPress codex, although it doesn’t have the full details for the latest two minor 2.6.x releases.

[raderack]

and how i can add a link to it in the home of wordpress?
sorry im totally noob in wordpress

[raderack]

im running xammp and installed wordpress as a module.
i installed the bbpress
but isnt in /wordpress/bbpress or /bbpress
where it is?

[davelowe1977]

Apart from the root forum which shows all the sub forums and nothing else, all my sub forums have a reply / new topic form tacked on at the bottom. I would like to remove this and replace it with two buttons: “New” and “Reply” which lead to a separate form/page with all the removed functionality. If I inspect the page code as it is, it is everything in this element tag:

<div id=”new-topic-0″ class=”bbp-topic-form”>

Is this possible? Thanks.

I think this is what you are after

bbp_show_lead_topic

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

[Robin W]

thanks – I’m just a user who helps out here, not a bbpress author.

so

1. can you confirm that the above plugin is not necessary – bbpress already does this ?

2.

can you try this code

add_filter( 'wpseo_metadesc', 'rew_meta_desc' );
function rew_meta_desc( $content ) {
    global $post;
    if ($post->post_type == 'reply' ) {
		$order = $post->menu_order ;
		$post_parent = $post->post_parent ;
		$title = get_the_title ($post_parent) ;
        $content = $title.' '.$order ;
    }
 return $content;
}

OK thanks for looking at this anyway. I’m now thinking it may relate to the MySQL 8 settings, specifically SQL_MODE which included ‘STRICT_TRANS_TABLES’ (strict SQL mode > no zero dates).

I’ve tried removing this setting from SQL_MODE (for both session & global), but this doesn’t seem to resolve – when logging in to MySQL as the WordPress user I still get this error

Error Code: 1525. Incorrect DATETIME value: ‘0’

when running the query:

SELECT p.ID FROM wp_posts AS p WHERE p.post_date < ‘0’ AND p.post_type = ‘forum’ AND ( p.post_status = ‘publish’ OR p.post_status = ‘private’ OR p.post_status = ‘hidden’ ) ORDER BY p.post_date DESC LIMIT 1;

If I make any more progress I’ll post it here 🙂

I don’t know if this fixes?

BBpress Addon For Yoast SEO

if it does come back and tell us

[Robin W]

bbpress is just a custom post type, so in the database entry 2448 just happens to be a topic, 2447 could be a WordPress post, a wordpress page, a revision or another custom post type.

They’re all just database numbers

[Robin W]

you could enable the visual editor

either

Enable Visual Editor

or

bbp style pack

once activated go to

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

[Robin W]

one possibility (that is a workaround) would be to display as the actual date/time rather than ‘ago’

for instance my style pack plugin has the ability to change that.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Freshness Display

All,
I’m new to wordpress/bbpress, I’ve set my forum page to full-width… topics (list) are being shown as full-width. When I go into a specific topic, it’s not full-width. I have to manually change the topic attribute to full-width for each topic. It seems like when a topic is created, topic attribute is being defaulted to (default template) which is not full-width. Is there a way when a topic gets created, full-width template is used as default.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good to hear that wordpress + discourse works fine. In my case, I am quite happy with bbpress, especially version 2.6 is pretty fast.

[Coin-coin le Canapin]

I gave it a try 3 years ago. It was working, but a bit incomplete from what I remember.
I didn’t keep it and moreover, I ditched bbPress, I think it is a horrendous forum system, slow and clunky.
I now use Discourse which I have connected to my WordPress with the plugin Wp-Discourse. It has been 3 years and I couldn’t be happier.
Sorry for being a bit off-topic though.
