it’s a wordpress rather than bbpress issue.

The documentation could be clearer, but that section refers to the tinymce not the text editor

I’ve not tried it, but this might help

There is a temporary fix, either

1. use code

if( !function_exists( 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' ) ){
	function bbpress_browser_supports_js() {
		echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
	}
	add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' );
}

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

or

2. install and activate

bbp style pack

this is a temporary fix, the bbpress authors are looking at a permanent one

if( !function_exists( 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' ) ){

2.6.8 does not fix.

so use either

add_filter ('bbp_body_class', 'rew_unset_no_js') ;

function rew_unset_no_js($classes) {
	if (in_array ('single-forum', $classes) || in_array ('single-topic', $classes)) {
		if (($key = array_search('no-js', $classes)) !== false) {
			unset($classes[$key]);
		}
	}
return $classes ;
}

or if that doesn’t work

add_filter ('bbp_body_class', 'rew_unset_no_js') ;

function rew_unset_no_js($classes) {
	if (($key = array_search('no-js', $classes)) !== false) {
			unset($classes[$key]);
		}
return $classes ;
}

That’s good, glad that worked out for you.

You could also put it in bbpress.php in the plugin itself, then when the fix comes out and the plugin is updated it would get rid of it.

For others looking for a solution, I tried to edit my post above but couldn’t, when I mentioned functions.php I mean the functions.php file that is within your current active WordPress theme.

the error is when the ‘nonce’ does not validate.

I suppose I could try using translation to make it a friendly message but would rather try and fix it.

function my_nonce_message ($translation) {
    if ($translation === 'Are you sure you want to do this?') {
       return 'Please try again.';
    } 

    return $translation;
}
 
add_filter('gettext', 'my_nonce_message');

not sure what you can do about it, not my speciality 🙂

[Robin W]

@jjj Moving the ‘no-js’ class to the bottom of the ‘bbp_body_class’ function does not fix, as the quicktags toolbar is still not shown.

the following filter fixes, but I’m not entirely sure what the introduction of then ‘no-js’ class to the function is doing, but I can’t see that the patch has any unintended consequences as it only runs on the relevant pages.

add_filter ('bbp_body_class', 'rew_unset_no_js') ;

function rew_unset_no_js($classes) {
	if (in_array ('single-forum', $classes) || in_array ('single-topic', $classes)) {
		if (($key = array_search('no-js', $classes)) !== false) {
			unset($classes[$key]);
		}
	}
return $classes ;
}

or if that doesn’t work

add_filter ('bbp_body_class', 'rew_unset_no_js') ;

function rew_unset_no_js($classes) {
	if (($key = array_search('no-js', $classes)) !== false) {
			unset($classes[$key]);

return $classes ;

FOR THOSE USING BBP-STYLE-PACK – I’ll issue a revised version incorporating this shortly until fixed in bbpress.

[John James Jacoby]

Revisions are totally a WordPress thing. It’s weird, but sounds accurate.

Using Gravity Forms to create new topics & replies will bypass the “freshness” hooks that bbPress expects to run normally. This means that the “branch” of topics & forums in the “tree” of that submission won’t get walked up to the root, to tell that whole branch what its most recent content is.

Once you post something yourself normally, the tree gets walked and everything looks OK.

The function that would normally be called is bbp_update_topic(). It includes all of the extra meta data that needs to be added – including a call to bbp_update_topic_walker() that “walks” the branch in the tree.

Lastly, it refreshes the last_changed cache key in the bbpress_posts cache group. You could try busting that cache on your Gravity Forms submission (to see if that’s enough) but I have a feeling it won’t be, and you’ll need to find the best way to trigger the update.

[AdventureRidingNZ]

Yeah, the BBPress release info, and BBPress itself seems to be the neglected son of WordPress.

[KennyWilliamson]

Good day, just to let you know the blog link on the release info version goes to 404, when enter release info page.

[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

Hi there,
I’m pretty new with wordpress and bbpress, and I can’t find the setting I need.
I want that new users automaticaly got the subscriber role on my site (done, general setting) and also the bbp_participant role.

How can I do that ? Thanks by advance.

Kind regards

[Robin W]

yes it does make sense 🙂

so this is just ‘registration’ and any new users you ‘register’ for ‘wordpress not forums’ will be known to you and presumably admins, so it probably does not matter that ‘all’ new registrations receive a ‘forum’ welcome, as they will all be forum users apart from any new admins you sign up, who can be told to ignore the email.

so I would suggest that you just use a WordPress registration welcome and tailor it for your forum users.

Does that make sense, or have I misunderstood something ?

[dalton125]

I think this post belongs in the “Development” forum, but that forum has a message saying that it’s closed to new posts. Let me know if there’s a better place for my question.

I’m trying to create a navigation sidebar for users to navigate my bbPress forum. I’ve seen WordPress themes with a navigation sidebar for blog posts which has a list of months and years, as in:

August 2021
September 2021
October 2021

And clicking any of those list items will show the user any blog posts created in the given month. This is what I’d like to emulate with bbPress — a sidebar with links to different months, and clicking the link will show the user all forum topics created in that month.

Does anyone have advice on how to do this? I’ve looked through the bbPress settings and even installed the bbp style pack plugin, but I can’t find a setting that will do what I’m trying to do. Is there a plugin or setting that I’ve missed? I don’t mind writing code to solve this problem, but I’m a PHP beginner so I’m not sure where to begin.

I’m using WordPress 5.7.2 and bbPress 2.6.6. I don’t have a live version of my site to show.

[Robin W]

ok, so how you are doing those differently from WordPress?

[Robin W]

bbpress simply users WordPress registration, so any WordPress registration plugin will work.

just google ‘wordpress registration plugins’

[pluckvermont]

Hi,

I am trying to customize the registration email for BBpress. Is there an easy way to do this?
Looking through this forum, I understand the email is generate by the WordPress Core.

Is there a plugin? I’d just like to redirect people to the actual forums, and not our site’s homepage.

TIA–

best I can offer is

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>unread posts

[Robin W]

dev work is ongoing in bbpress – see

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/report

but bbpress authors chose to release sparingly.

there are a good many additional plugins that do lots of things to add functionality to bbpress

[Robin W]

[Robin W]

ok, I cannot replicate – might be a multisite issue, might not.

all I can suggest further is the standard advice :

it could be a theme or plugin issue

This plugin still works

on the ‘security settings’ – these are as set in

dashboard>settings>disucussion>comment moderation where you can increase the no. links allowed

Hi Robin,
thank you for your reply.

For your reference, wp-cli commands often (if not all) have default outputs and they do not need to be explicitly declared unless particular outputs are expected.

Here is a list of all post types available on my WordPress installation:

https://markuphero.com/share/5dn5FOkMzGNpG9R6Unbx

As you can see, I have a custom post type named ‘sfwd-lessons’ so if I run the command wp post list --post_type=sfwd-lessons I have all these custom posts which are listed with the default outputs:

https://markuphero.com/share/8Mbqbgujeaou2QH60l1k

But when i’m trying wp post list --post_type=topic the output is empty:

https://markuphero.com/share/3APucSjLM0IHRgLHIuVb

https://markuphero.com/share/V3pihOOXPNQWUx3Knzqd

Have you really tried it on your end?

Warm regards,
Ludovic
