when you go into widgets, you will get a display of what the widget will show.

Click once anywhere in that image, and it will take you to the settings.

Another far from intuitive thing that WordPress now does as it attempts to make itself unusable to anyone but a professional 🙂

I think my fix in this plugin still works

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

[gr19rute]

The problem is known for years. I’ve tried this solution:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2785
But it doesn’t work anymore.
Does anybody knows an actual tested fix?

Hi,

I’m trying to access the bbPress widget settings but WP opens the “new” widget editor when I go to Apperance –> Widgets. I have WordPress 5.8.3 Installed, and newest bbPress.

How can I access these settings show in this image:

In the background there is what I get and in the foreground what I want. It is from a tutorial I’m following.

I want to add the widget to the page with a Shortcode, and links aren’t working if I don’t have access to settings.

ok, let us know how you get on

you can use the troubleshooting part of this plugin to let you see what happens when you deactivate without needing to affect the live site

ok so 2 things you can do here

1. add a label

add_action ('bbp_theme_before_topic_form_content' , 'rew_content_title') ;

function rew_content_title () {
echo '<label for="bbp_topic_content">Topic Content</label><br />' ;
}

Just change ‘Topic Content’ to whatever you wish

2. add back the editor

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'rew_supports_js' );

function rew_supports_js() {
	echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
}

Put these 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

I use wordpress 5.7.1 and bbpress 2.6.9

[realadulting101]

i am looking for some help as currently i am using BBPress with my Memberpress Course plugin (online course subscription). I am working on the user dashboard and there is a tab called “forum profile” which I think is for their BBPress forum profile. When I click “edit” as the user, it takes me to a page where they can edit their forum profile info, but it also is showing some other strange info like our site blog posts and their points that they’ve earned. There is also no way for them to edit their profile photo. Does anyone know how to fix this by chance?
A second question is as a user, they can make a post but it has to have a topic. is there anyway for them to just post or do they need a topic to start a conversation?
My wordpress is 5.8.2 using the astra theme and the plugin is memberpress and memberpress courses which integrates with bbpress.
Thank you so much.

[Robin W]

The easiest way would be to use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails
and tick item 2 and look at the choice of login

This will then detect if a user is trying to access a private forum and redirect them to a login and then to the topic/reply as appropriate

[Robin W]

on styling – this plugin should help

Private groups

is an add-on to bbpress and will let you split your forums into as many groups as you like.

membership plugins tend to assign roles to members if you want different membership types, and then private groups plugin can then assign these to the forum groups

Thanks for your help, take the time – I really appreciate it! But … again nothing happens.

Have a clean new bbpress, latest version of WordPress, own Ngnix, cleared the cache, checked for syntax errors.
Little confused https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23614011/if-strpos-serverrequest-uri-true-doesnt-work/23614083 and whether the equation is correct. I can’t figure it out myself.

[Robin W]

This function will take all attempts to go to the replies page to whatever url you want

add_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'neon_check_replies');

function neon_check_replies(){
	//only execute if the url contains both /users/ and /replies/, so test for this first
	if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/users/') == FALSE  && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/replies/') == FALSE) return ;
	else wp_redirect( 'https://example.com/some/page' );
}

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

Hi ,

I am exporting forums/replies/topics from one site https://tileisrael.com/ to another site on local. In admin everything is showing fine. but when i am going to view forums in frontend , topics and replies are not showing check screenshot https://prnt.sc/2559ijh . On current site all topics are showing fine https://prnt.sc/2559onm .

BBpress version – 2.6.9
Wordpress version – 5.8.2
Export site – https://tileisrael.com/

My main motive is to migrate all BBpress date to another wordpress site. Please share any solution how i can import data and show on frontend as well.

Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks

[Robin W]

ok,

on first one

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form item 10

installing this plugin should also fix the second item – this is a bug in 2.6.7 onwards that has yet to be fixed.

The submit issue may be because of server response times – in essence if the first post has written to the database before the second tries to, it gets recognised as a duplicate.

I’ve activated the tinymce for my forum like:

function beforget_bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘tinymce’] = true;
$args[‘teeny’] = true;
$args[‘quicktags’] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args’, ‘beforget_bbp_enable_visual_editor’ );

But when I’m on a topic and click to “reply to” on the first post, the tinymce disappears and the text is wirtten on white color.

But if I click reply to on the second post, it works fine…

I try it on a clear WordPress installation and brokes to…

Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance

[neratashy]

Thank you for your answer.

I have installed the plugin. Cleared all caches and tested it with existing forum and new forum – unfortunately the problem persists with the version. If I downgrade it, it works again – only then WordPress complains that there is a security risk etc… because the plugins are not up to date.

best, neratashy

[Robin W]

just as a test, can you add

bbp style pack

which has a fix for an issue in 2.6.7 which may or may not relate to this

If you install and activate the style pack plugin, does the problem stay or go away?

[Robin W]

I’ve not read this is detail, but is it related ?

Hello,

I am running WordPress 5.8.2 with an Eduma Child theme. I have LearnPress and bbPress (v2.6.6) installed and I have an issue with forums.
Course A is attached to Forum A and this has been working well for over a year. I recently created Course B which is a duplicate of Course A. Course B is attached to Forum A.

Users who are signed up for Course B gets the message ‘ You are not enrolled in the course’ when they try to access their forum which is Forum A.

Please can you help????

Thanks

[Robin W]

wordpress does

WordPress 5.8 adds WebP support

so if you have image plugins adding to bbpress, it would depend on whether they do

[Robin W]

ok, best advice I can give is the standard fault finding :

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

This might be close to what you ae looking for

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Unread posts
