ok, that’s like sending your auto mechanic a picture of your Ford and asking him to say what is wrong 🙂

The best I can say is 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

add_filter( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1 );
function my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url( $requested_url )
{
return 'http://localhost:8888' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

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

When Jetpack is active, when trying to edit a Topic, Forum or Reply, through the WordPress administrative panel with Jetpack active.
An error is displayed below the text editing toolbar.

Failed to load plugin url: https://mydomain.com.br/site/wp-

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>widgets

[Robin W]

you can use the ‘assign groups to roles’ tab to assign WordPress roles such as subscriber to a group on login

[Robin W]

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

[Robin W]

install

Private groups

then see

dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>help

for how to set it up

and

dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>topic permissions

in essence set up a group called say ‘fred’

assign the forum to the group ‘fred’

assign your users to the group ‘fred’

Then enable topic permissions

set the forum topic permissions for users to only be able to reply

Admins can then post topics but users only reply

Hello. I hope you are well!

When using jetpack link shortener feature “wp.me”, this feature does not work with jetpack link sharer (whatsapp, facebook, etc)

This was solved with the plugin: “Shortlinks for Jetpack sharing buttons” by Jeremy Herve.
See here:
https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack-shortlinks-for-sharing-buttons/

However, the plugin only works natively on standard WordPress posts and pages, on custom post types like Woocommerce, it does not work.

Here’s a way to fix this:
https://jetpack.com/support/wp-me-shortlinks/
As the post type for woocommerce products is “product”, the code looked like this:

add_action( 'init', function () {
add_post_type_support( 'product', 'shortlinks' );
});

It is now possible to share woocommerce products with shortened links using jetpack share buttons.

I would like to know if BBPress is compatible with Jetpack’s sharing feature, and what type of post should I use so that shares can be made using the link shortener as I did above in Woocommerce.

Grateful.

So we are using the most recent WordPress and BBPress versions, along with Twenty Twenty Four template. We were getting the blank page so I installed the BBpress style app as ive seen in other posts. It now shows the forums, but it’s throwing the menus in the header to the left, along with messing up the headers in the footer. How do I fix this?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress authentication, so probably the answer is no

[Robin W]

and for different forum access look at

Private groups

[BennyW]

Hi,
New to bbpress. Just installed.
We have WordPress custom roles and I need to limit access to forums based on custom roles.

1. Is it possible to limit forum visibility (forums, post, widgets) based on WP custom user roles?
I have many user roles and would like to limit it by user role “MainGroup” that is set up for users that have certain access.

2. Is it possible to do the above but based on role combinations, eg give access to users with role “MainGroup” AND “Learner” user groups?

3. Is it possible to set user access on a per forum basis or globally (all forums)?

Many thanks for any help and advice.

Ben

bbpress just uses WordPress users so if your plugin is not using wordpress users,the answer is probably no.

Maybe ask the private content plugin authors.

[indigokj]

We are using a plugin called PrivateContent on a client portal site, which allows us to make the site private and give employees access to the site behind a firewall. We installed BB Press so employees can have a forum, but the users set up in PrivateContent are unable to participate in the forum; apparently only WordPress users are able to participate. Is there a work-around for this?

[Robin W]

what wordpress and bbpress roles do users have?

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Install

then
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation

[Robin W]

install the ‘check and log’ plugin, enable logging and see if the issue is sending from the site or within your email system. so if showing in the log, then website is creating.

May well be the sending address, you could use style pack to change the sending address to a real one, lots of email stuff hate ‘noreply@’ addressses

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

Ive recently installed bbpress to a wordpress website and behind the forum there is a white box, i have eddited bbpress.css and the box is still there, any ideas on how to remove it?

[Robin W]

If there are no keymasters, then

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes and you will see the options to make yourself the keymaster

You can then deactivate and remove the style pack plugin, or look at what it offers

In the new version, I am encountering a major issue where all AJAX functionality, as well as BuddyPress and other plugins, are not working properly.

I have checked every scenario, including using the default WordPress theme, and consistently face issues due to the new version of bbPress.

I kindly request you to resolve this issue as soon as possible, as my client has raised a refund request because of this problem.
