Hello all, I’m using a plugin called bbPress Topics for posts. Each of my wordpress posts has a forum. I want users to be forced to choose “Buy” or “sell” from a dropdown menu when they reply. I’d like their reply to be tagged so I can, for instance, filter only “buy” or “sell” tagged replies on the page.

How can I do this? Thanks!

bbpress just uses WordPress login, so any ‘member’ plugin will work for bbpress

‘Links’ will include anything that HTML considers a link, so that can include images and other stuff.

I’d suggest you try :

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>moderation

This will give you emails to advise, and the user notification

I’d need an example of content to advise on why it might be held

Hi all,

Rather than wake up an old thread I thought I’d start a new one. The issue was reported here:

Links in posts lead to them being hidden (and how to deal with them)

And we have a similar problem. It seems a post with a single link is being hidden and no notification is being sent in spite of having the number of links set to ‘2’ before posts are hidden and us actively checking for the relevant notifications.

I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this issue? I’m not that familiar with bbPress so if there’s something obvious I’m missing then I would be grateful if someone was able to point me in the right direction.

Wordpress 5.9.3
bbPress: 10.2.0

Many thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I think I am having a caching issue as when my users go to reply to a bbpress forum topic, it takes 2-3 times to submit their reply. (I am also having an issue sending buddypress private messages, when you click send nothing happens). I use W3Total Cache and Memberpress and I know I need to say “never cache” certain pages for Memberpress, so are their certain slugs I need to add to that list so the replies go through?
Thank you!

Unfortunately this is part of WordPress’s mission to make WordPress totally unusable for new users, whilst experienced users will continue to use the myriad of already existing site builder plugins which do the job much better !!

If you want to continue to use the twentytwentytwo theme, the best I can suggest is that you work through this guide

How to Edit WordPress Sidebar in Twenty Twenty-two Theme?

[enkoes]

Hi, I couldn’t find Widget in Appearance in my WordPress 5.9. This version of WordPress has apparently shifted to block based editor which eliminated Widget in Appearance. May I know how am I going to design bbpress sidebar if we can’t use Widget? I also downloaded bbPress WP Tweaks, it seems that we really can’t do anything without Widget in Appearance.

[Robin W]

it looks like youzify from that error log (but cannot guarantee).

I’d suggest you try deactivating youzify as a test and see if the error diappears.

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

It mentions buddypress and youzify. I have both plugins if that helps.
Thanks so much for the quick response!

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>quotes

[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

When logged into our forums and using the search function, if there are say 130 results, 15 show correctly on the first page but when you click onto the second page it looks like a blank page but if you scroll down the page header is there (although the format is corrupted) and then the rest of the results show below this. This is the same for the subsequent pages but if you click to go back to the first page of results, it then shows correctly again. I haven’t edited the site recently, so this is a bit out of the blue.

Many thanks!

sorry, this support forum is for bbpress issues, your query refers to wordpress registration login, which bbpress just uses, but is not involved in

[goudenspeler]

The page https://commitproject.eu/wp-login.php?checkemail=registered

Is not showing any message after a new user registration. The registration works fine just the message is not showing.

Check & Log Email

as first step

then maybe amend sending email address which can be the culprit

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

[Robin W]

thanks for that – it all helps me decide what route to go.

So wordpress has several states, these include draft, publish and trash. You can then permanently delete – this gets rid of them from the database, which makes it faster for lookups. Given the power of servers nowadays, many sites will have no problem with a significant database, so permanently deleting may not speed up your site, but is cleaner if you are sure you never want them back.

However your post does give a further alternate that I was not imtending, but might be your solution. If you create a ‘hidden’ forum, then this is only visible to moderators and keymasters. So instead of using a plugin that I write, you could simply move topics into that hidden forum

so

dashboard>forums>add forum> call it what you like but in forum attributes (top right) and set visibility to hidden

then for each topic

dashboard>topics>all topics>edit topic>topic attributes (top right) and just change the forum it belongs to to the new hidden one.

[Robin W]

All – let me just clarify that I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen who helps out here, I am not a bbpress author !!

@craigcotner & @iqfy- trashing topics or replies calls a standard WordPress function which checks for comments and media on each post before trashing. This involves a database lookup to check whether anything in those tables needs deleting and it is this that seems to be taking the time and making you both time out. Topics and replies don’t have comments or media that is attached in that way, so these steps are not needed.

Now trashing a reply is fairly easy, replies don’t hold any data that needs referencing elsewhere that we need to worry about.

But Topics have engagements and subscriptions to be gone through.

so if I wrote some code to allow you to delete a numbered topic, this could use a quicker method to permanently delete all the replies, and then use the proper function to delete the topic.

And as long as the topic or reply it is not latest activity, then we can maybe skip the step that needs to recalculate what the lastest activity now needs to be.

That should prevent timeouts I hope.

SO 2 things here

1. any topic/reply being got rid of should not be the ‘latest activity’ in the forum – but I’m guessing if the topic is still getting replies and therefore ‘hot’ then you would not be deleting it
2. this would be deleting it a numbered topic at a time, so you would look up the topic and then in the dashboard there would be an option to enter that topic number to trash it.

Does that sound as if it would work for you?

@jimmyt53 – not sure how easily I’d be able to fix that, but I’ll think about it as I progress. so

1. how would you want to pick topics for deletion – by ‘older than’ presumably? and
2. just from one forum or across all forums?
3. again could not be a topic or reply where it is latest activity

Feedback before I start code something that doesn’t help would be great 🙂

and from all – are we talking about permanently deleting – ie reduce database size, or just trashing – ie stopping people seeing, but retaining the ability to restore later?

[Steveorevo]

Even simpler; add this one line to twenty twenty two’s index.php file; this will preserve the theme’s menus, header, etc. and tell WordPress to use 2022’s template engine:

include ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-canvas.php';

Or, to prevent losing changes when/if 2022 updates; use this hook in your own functions/plugin/child:

add_filter( 'template_include', function( $template ) {
    if ( false !== strpos($template, 'twentytwentytwo/index.php') ) {
		$template = ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-canvas.php';
    }
    return $template;
});

thanks.

wordpress.org are the people behind WordPress – it is just the WordPress product.

Wordpress.com is the hosting company that WordPress has that allows you to have a website with WordPress.

There are many hosting companies – virtually all of whom let you have WordPress as a product on your website.

As far as I know it is wordpress.com who insist on the site having Jetpack, but since I have never lodged a site there, I have no idea if they let you change the settings.

https://santarosaphotographicsociety.org is listed as using wordpress.com on https://sitechecker.pro/hosting-checker/

your site https://steveruddyphotography.com/ is listed as hosted by InMotion Hosting, Inc.

so I suspect you actually want to move santarosaphotographicsociety away from wordpress.com not to it.

Other hosters might insist on you having Jetpack, and indeed may restrict the settings – none of the ones I use do either of those.

Anyway, hopefully you’ll get to a resolution.

[sruddy]

I have no idea but I have discovered I don’t like the restrictions when going with WordPress.org. I’m waiting for the go ahead to change to wordpress.com using a host I use for my personal website. So at this point it’s Jetpack and no way to fix it as Jetpack is sending me here for support.
