The “Publication layout / Add a toolbar to text areas to help with HTML formatting” check box is enabled.
I disabled all plugins except Bbpress and still no menu!
The problem and the same on the comments of the articles!

[fearless359]

The toolbar for the post entry/editor is no longer showing. The option to “Add toolbar & buttons to textareas …” is checked. It used to show but currently doesn’t. Site is simepleinvoices.group. bbPress plugin version 2.6.9. It is showing a line, “You account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content,” does show but no buttons to help with the formatting.

Robin,

I have disabled all the plugins except bbpress and changed themes and still no luck.

Hi Robin,
Thank you for comment.
I did exactly what you said.
Now the theme is twentytwenty.
Disabling all plugins other than bbpress doesn’t bring the default site user roles.
Disabling bbpress, the default site user roles are back.

To me, it seems that bbpress removed or hided the default roles.
Is it related to configuration somewhere?

Really appreciate more help!

Best regards,
Susan

Sorry, that file is back and corrupted I cannot say why.

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

It looks like the default pagination details are being generated like this:

plugins -> bbpress -> templates -> default -> bbpress -> pagination-topics.php

Inside this module are these calls which go into the plugin:

bbp_forum_pagination_count()
bbp_forum_pagination_links()

These are both defined in:

plugins -> bbpress -> includes -> topics -> template.php

[Robin W]

ok, to save me searching where is ‘I can see where this is being generated in the bbpress plugin PHP code’

Hi,
in polylang settings the url is set to change with language, bbpress work for all situation (topic post reply) but the edit and other link in the upper bar not work.

this is the default configuration for polylang.

With the flag “Hide URL language information for default language” allow to work for the default language (not use /en/).

Hi Guys,
I’ve taken it upon myself to try and create my own customised forum – I’ve got it mostly working how I’d like, but I’ve hit a brick wall in trying to easily customise how the pagination should look for the lists of topics and also replies.

I can see where this is being generated in the bbpress plugin PHP code, but ideally I would leave that alone as my changes could disappear on a plugin upgrade.

I tried following a useful tutorial I found on WPUP, but it didn’t generate any pagination at all – perhaps I am on a different plugin version or something.

Any advice on how to go about this would be really appreciated!

Hei
After activated bbpress, the default wordpress user role reduced to only reader and administrator.
Is there anyway to get the default roles back?

Best regards,
Susan

@robin-w could you check your engagements.php on your test forum?
(/yoursite/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/engagements.php)

i’ve got
public function get_users_for_object( $object_id = 0, $meta_key = '', $meta_type = 'post' )

i think $meta_key value shouldn’t be empty…

[m1ngum0u]

I imported all forums from vBulletin to bbPress a couple days ago and now moderating it. Maybe import could cause this?

[Robin W]

there is no one ‘best’ in fact I suspect that almost all themes will work with style pack.

It is only where a theme is specifically written for bbpress or buddypress that the css is likely to be over-written by the theme.

[Robin W]

if you use a theme that has a bbpress/buddypress emphasis, it is likely that it will overwrite some settings particularly styling in stle pack, as the theme loads css last.

If you have a particular page that needs changing, post it hear with the changes and if there are no too bad, I’ll try and give you some extra css.

[m1ngum0u]

Hi! I’ve got that:

Error thrown
Call to a member function get_users_for_object() on null

When i turning visibility option to “Hide” it happens.
And I cannot access any topics and forums.I can only access profile page of bbPress

Found this method in engagements.php(/includes/common)(/includes/users), capabilities.php (/includes/users)

any suggestions to solve it?
using bbPress 2.6.9 and WordPress 5.2.13 with Pointfinder theme.

oh this is good thanks man i was going to import to bbpress somehow but discourse works too 🙂

thank you

Given how old is the original theme and the absence of an official follow-up or fork, even if you manage to find a working link, I think you can’t rely on this theme. If there isn’t an issue with it currently (I don’t know really), there will eventually.
Plus, but that’s my own experience, bbPress is horrendous and slow.

I’m fairly sure that migrating Flarum to bbPress will be a painful and deterrent experience (I don’t even know if someone actually did such a thing) and that if you need modern software to host a community, Discourse is the number one choice (I have no affiliation with them).

Plus, there is a built-in script to migrate from Flarum to Discourse. See https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/script/import_scripts/flarum_import.rb

I’ll let you use a web search engine for further information…

[sinan isler]

is there a any solution for importing flarum forum to bbpress 🙁

this flarum making me crazy !!!!!
upgrading is problem
migrating is problem
extensions are problem

i have never seen so problematic web software ever FFS

HELP!

[dilnawaaz]

By keymaster, do you mean complete back-end control? If yes, then the user has complete administrator control. We can’t see a ‘keymaster’ role either on wordpress or bbpress.

We are getting a ‘Topics’ and ‘Reply’ tab but not the ‘Forum’ tab in the menu. Here’s the screenshot – https://prnt.sc/22qcdfs

Thanks Robin.

After your comment on my other issue I pasted this code into the custom css part of my child theme and it worked when placed in there.
So I went back to my child theme and found a typo in an earlier entry which meant nothing after that was being picked up. Once that was fixed and the document version updated it picked up both these changes.

The child theme css is /themes/newsphere-child-theme/style.css?ver=1.0.2
and I’ve put “my child theme css ATTN Robin W” in it to make it findable.

So my forum-Author column is now wider as I had wanted thank you, but the forum-content area has not reduced correspondingly meaning the author section overlaps the content section and I can’t see a specific width designation for the forum-content area to update.

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content {
    margin-left: 130px;
    padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
    text-align: left;
    position: relative;
}

[Robin W]

try this is the custom css part of your theme

#bbpress-forums div.wp-editor-container {
     line-height: inherit !important;
}

[AdventureRidingNZ]

The Author section seems to have a width of 115px and I’d like to widen that. I’ve tried using the below code which I pulled from a the inspect bar in Chrome and pasted into my child themes styles.css but it doesn’t work.

Can anybody help?

Hi,

We tried all the recommended suggestions and the problem – Forum Menu is Missing – still continues.

We switched to twentytwenty theme but the forum menu option did not come up. Here is the screenshot – https://prnt.sc/22keops

We deactivated all the plugins except for bbpress and that also didn’t show the forum menu. Here is the screenshot – https://prnt.sc/22kf61w

Finally, as you recommended, we also did a health check and the site health is good. Here is the screenshot – https://prnt.sc/22kfrgs

Since we switched themes and the forum menu did not show up, can we assume it is not a theme issue?

We need a resolution for this problem. Please suggest what can we do to bring the forum menu up.
