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

a combination of

bbp style pack

and

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

transfer this to your pc and edit as required

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

will get you there, but if you want specific help, contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/ and reference this post

[Robin W]

These fields are in a bbpress template so you need to amend that

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

remove

<p>
<label for=”bbp_anonymous_website”><?php esc_html_e( ‘Website:’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?></label><br />
<input type=”text” id=”bbp_anonymous_website” value=”<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>” size=”40″ maxlength=”200″ name=”bbp_anonymous_website” />
</p>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

Hi,

on the Topic Type and Topic Status drop down box, the font of the drop down selection is way too big and it looks cut off. I have installed bb style pack and went to Topic Reply Form to change the font size to 10 (default 12) but its still not reflecting it. Is there anyway to make sure the selection eg. “Normal”, “Sticky” etc fits nicely in the drop down box?

Thanks

The default is that they can do exactly this.

I’d suggest you check your settings in

dashboard>settings>discussion

[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?

[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.

hi @robin-w

i found problem root cause

“bbPress Simple View Counts” was the problem.

“Health Check & Troubleshooting” This plugin is very useful
Troubleshooting Mode is very good And a log was also left.

“bbPress Simple View Counts” This plugin is out of date.
I’ll try to disable it and think more about what to do.

@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 🙂

@mc9625 what have you got set in

dashboard>settings>discussion>bbPress Topics for Posts Defaults>Create a new bbPress topic in… ?

[Robin W]

@newest- ok, thanks for that.

It works the other way around, you add a topic to a post, not a post to a topic.

so when you publish or edit a wordpress post, you can attach a topic to it.

I didn’t write the original plugin, and Gutenberg made it not work, so I have been given editing rights to try and fix it.

so start by going to

dashboard>settings>discussion and you will see topics for posts about half way down – here you can set up the default actions.

Then as a test create a post.

on the right hand side you should see Post and Block options, make sure you have clicked Post

You should then see near the bottom either in the main but or in the sidebar a ‘Topics for Posts’ box, which will show the defaults.

If you don’t see this (as Gutenberg unhelpfully tries to hide anything useful to the user) click the 3 vertical dots on the right hand side right of publish and the settings cog, at the bottom you will find ‘preferences’ and in that you will find the option to show the topics for posts under additional panels section at the bottom

Sorry this is all horrible – it’s not me making it so I promise you 🙂

[Robin W]

you will be looking for

`<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_reply_admin_links’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links’ ); ?>`
in

\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-reply.php

or in the bbpress templates section of your theme

and look to move that under

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_content’ ); ?>

Don’t forget to out any changed files into a child theme to prevent them being overwritten

Thanks again for your help.
1) this is the default case – users can post topics without anyone needing to approve : Where can I find the setting for this function?

[Robin W]

1) this is the default case – users can post topics without anyone needing to approve
2) I think this does it https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-monalisa/ according to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/smiley-emoticons/

3) this is what you might want https://wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/

[Robin W]

ok, just checking.

If you have performed the tests above with just bbpress active and a default theme, then these should appear, I can only suggest that your site is somehow corrupt.

do you get anything showing in

dashboard>tools>forums
or
dashboard>settings>forums?

ok,

the default display order is freshness, followed by author – you have it the other way around.

try changing the line above

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author', 'rew_freshness_display_image');

to

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_freshness_link', 'rew_freshness_display_image');
