Try this – or much easier just add my style pack plugin to your site which has this fix built in, and let me know if it fixes

bbp style pack

//filter to correctly return last active ID for sub forums
//note : a parent forum or category can get the wrong last active ID if a topic in a sub forum is marked as spam or deleted. This filter ignores the parent and works out the correct sub forum

//don't add if pg filter exists as this will have done it already
if (!function_exists ('private_groups_get_permitted_subforums')) {
	add_filter ('bbp_get_forum_last_active_id' , 'rew_get_forum_last_active_id', 10 , 2 ) ;
}

function rew_get_forum_last_active_id ($active_id, $forum_id) {
	$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums($forum_id) ;
	if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) {
		$active_id = 0;
		$show = array();
		//find the latest permissible 
		foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
			$sub_forum_id =  $sub_forum->ID ;
			$active_id = get_post_meta( $sub_forum_id , '_bbp_last_active_id', true );
			$last_active = get_post_meta( $sub_forum_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true );
			if ( empty( $active_id ) ) { // not replies, maybe topics ?
				$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $sub_forum_id );
				if ( !empty( $active_id ) ) {
					$last_active = bbp_get_topic_last_active_time( $active_id );
				}
			}
			if ( !empty( $active_id ) ) {
				$curdate = strtotime($last_active);
				$show[$curdate] = $active_id ;
			}
		}
		//then add the forum itself in case it has the latest
			$active_id = get_post_meta( $forum_id , '_bbp_last_active_id', true );
			$last_active = get_post_meta( $sub_forum_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true );
			if ( empty( $active_id ) ) { // not replies, maybe topics ?
				$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );
				if ( !empty( $active_id ) ) {
					$last_active = bbp_get_topic_last_active_time( $active_id );
				}
			}
			if ( !empty( $active_id ) ) {
				$curdate = strtotime($last_active);
				$show[$curdate] = $active_id ;
			}
		$mostRecent= 0;
		foreach($show as $date=>$value){
			if ($date > $mostRecent) {
				 $mostRecent = $date;
			}
		}
		if ($mostRecent != 0) {
			$active_id = $show[$mostRecent] ;
		} else {
			$active_id = 0;
		}
	}
	return apply_filters( 'rew_get_forum_last_active_id', $active_id, $forum_id );
}

no special bbpress themes, most themes work with bbpress, but you may want to use this to style the forums t match your theme and improve their look.

I’ve been using bbPress and BuddyPress since long and am aware that if a user creates a topic in any forum, that also gets listed in user profile -> Forums tab.

Here is what exactly I’ve done:

When I create a private group and attach a forum with it. And a non-admin member becomes a member of that private group. Now that member creates a topic in that private forum, that topic does show globally on the /forums page. But when that user checks his profile for the topics he created, there no topic is shown. Which means the topics that show up globally, doesn’t show on the profile page.

For the information, I’m using the following versions of the plugins and theme:
1. bbPress – 2.5.14
2. BuddyPress – 3.2.0
3. Twenty Sixteen – 1.5
4. WordPress – 4.9.8

Please help me with this issue. Also, let me know if some guys have come across such a situation.

Thanks in advance!

Hello. It shows that this plugin is “Untested with your version of WordPress” and hasn’t been updated in over a year? I don’t want to get another plugin that doesn’t work so could you tell me if there are any plans to update to the latest WP Version? It’s not like Version 4.9.8 just came out. Thanks in advance!

Thank you. I was introduced to WordPress a few weeks ago so everything is new to me. If there is an alternate bbpress support plugin other than these two you recommended please let me know.

Hi

I am struggling with a login button within my page for bbpress. I have tried to use 2 different plugs and I am having 2 different problems. I dont want to use a sidebar option. If anyone can provide a solution to either one I would really appreciate it:

bbp style pack – When I select add login/logout to menu options it adds “Log In” to the navigation menu higher then the other menu options (ie. it sits vertically higher by about half the text height”. Can anyone help with how to align this with the other text?

bbpress WP tweaks – This provides an acceptable button to login however the login link takes me to the actual backend wordpress login page. Simply changing the href=” ” to the page on my website does not work either.

<p>{login_text} / {register_text}</p>

I would prefer to use the bbp style pack however either will do at this stage. I am very new to buidling websites and I don’t want to play around in the functions.php area at risk of crashing my entire site.

Thank you for your help.

I’ve just added functionality to bbp-style pack for participants to close their own topics – to set see item 17 in Topic/Reply Display tab to set this

Hello,
I’d like to share my workaround to fix the following problem:
After importing all topics and posts and forums and users from my old WebsiteA, I couldn’t see any topics inside my forums on my new WebsiteB. The counts were correct, but I could only see sticky topics inside each forum, nothing else.

I tried the built-in fixing tools, but that was a BAD IDEA. It broke my site every time I tried it (blank page on front-end without any error). The only way to fix it was to restaure the whole database!

So I looked at the database and found that a simple info was missing. All topics were set with post_parent = 0, while the corresponding postmeta _bbp_forum_id field was set correctly.
All that was needed to do is to update this post_parent field by fetching this meta value.
Here’s my working SQL script (of course do NOT FORGET to save your database first…):

UPDATE 'wp_posts' 
SET post_parent = (
SELECT meta_value 
FROM 'wp_postmeta' 
WHERE post_id=ID AND meta_key="_bbp_forum_id") 
WHERE post_parent = 0;

I also want to point something VERY annoying when using the WP importer. WordPress asked me to match every single forum user from WebsiteA with the dropdown list of users from WebsiteB, which is very stupid since I had imported all the users. They were all identical.
It literally took me an hour to select every user on the dropdown menu…
The user IDs were the same on both websites!! Why not auto-selecting???????

I hope some dev will see this and fix it somehow, because it sounds like something quite easy to fix 😉
Have a nice day

Hi guys,

I installed bbpress and I realized everything works ok except topics. I’ve been trying with different users and creating topics, but once I “send” nothing shows up in the forum.

It sais that “some person” wrote something, even in my dashboard in wordpress showes an open debate but in the forum where all people should see is not showing.

I’ve been checking and changing the wordpress theme, I’m using SmartTheme from Optimizepress company, and when I disabled this and enabled “Twenty seventeen” theme topics were showed.

So, in this case there’s something I can do? Any workaround?

I need to fix this in some way…

Thank you.

I’ve been having a similar issue (WordPress 4.9.8, bbpress 2.5.14, no Buddypress). Forum users with the Participant role were able to view the existence of private forums but not any of the actual topics inside them. I tried creating a new role with read_private_topics enabled as well and assigning it to them, but to no avail. The only thing that seemed to fix it is what @kingstringy mentioned above:

The only thing that repairs the issue is switching each forum to public, saving the forum, then returning the forum to private status and saving again. Bulk edit doesn’t work — only updating each forum individually.

After having done that, users with the standard Participant role are able to see private forums again, with no other customization or plugins needed.

I wonder if there is a bug with the Bulk Actions dropdown in the Forums admin page? That’s what I used to set them to Private originally. Maybe it failed to update something that it needed to, whereas setting the visibility to Private on each forum individually succeeded.

I hope that it is appropriate to ask this question here. (WordPress 4.9.8, bbPress 2.5.14, Theme:TwentyTen)
I hope that one of my forums can automatically close the topics after 30 minutes.
I read this discussion (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/auto-close-topic-after-some-time-days/) and tried to modify it myself, but I failed.
Later I found a plugin called BBP Close Old Topics (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-close-old-topics/).
I tried to modify it myself, but in the end it can only be automatically close the topics after one day.
I guess… is this the problem with these code?

// Get timestamp of last activity of the topic.
		$last_active = strtotime( get_post_field( 'post_date', bbp_get_topic_last_active_id( $topic_id ) ) );

		// Compare last active timestamp with defined time period.
		if ( $last_active < strtotime( '-' . $this->old_topic_age_setting() . 'days' ) ) :

Is there something missing here that the command can only catch D (day) and not catch i (minute)?

I’m at my wits’ end with this issue……Thank you so much.

Hello,

I just installed bbpress on my site (greenteacoffeedate.com) and noticed that it hides notifications from another plugin in user’s profile. It does not hide standard BP notifications like, someone sent you a message or commented on your activity post (in BP, not BB). The plugin in question is this one and it’s no longer supported so I can’t reach out to the plugin designer. So members can’t see who viewed their profile in notifications.

Buddypress Who clicked at my Profile?

I looked at the code in my Chrome inspector and this is what happens. Please see linked image:

So I can see that the description is turned off ( the one on top) but where do I turn it back on (like in the bottom yellow rectangle). I tried to play with display tag in css but it doesn’t seem to do it. Any thoughts?

[Robin W]

you would be better to ask the GC bbpress attachements author on his support site, as it is his function you need to alter

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments

[Robin W]

I can’t see that code has been loaded

1. is that code still in your site?
2. whereabouts have you put it ? ie in which file or part of wordpress

[Robin W]

titles are theme related, so you would need to modify the theme template being used by bbpress.

see

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

part 8, and create a bbpress.php file from the template your theme is using to display bbpress. This plugin will show you what templates are being used
