Hi there,

I’ve created a new fresh instance on my local machine using bbpress version 2.6.6 and it works fine. I tried to do debug the site that has bug with the recent version of bbpress by tracing the output of each functions that leads to showing the subscribed forums. I also check those functions on the site that is working properly and compared them with the site that has bug.

Then I got to this function that returns a different object.

Function name: bbp_user_engagements_interface
File name and path: /bbpress/includes/common/engagements.php

On the site that bbpress has bug, it returns this class: BBP_User_Engagements_User Object ( [type] => user )

And on the site the bbpress is working properly, it returns this class: BBP_User_Engagements_Meta Object ( [type] => meta )

Do you know any reason why it uses a different class?

Here’s the screenshot of the function:

Thanks in advance!

I contacted the support at the twentytwenty theme. They asked me to request that you open a ticket if you think the issue is with their theme.

Here is their response:

I’m not able to replicate the scenario from the screenshot you showed in the original report, but it looks to me like bbPress’ themes and styles are being removed from the page for some reason. As @desrosj mentioned though, the plugin you are working with is a premium one, so it’s not possible for us to look into this any deeper, but it certainly appears to be a problem on their end. If they know for certain the problem is with the theme, I would suggest you let them know that they should open a ticket (or provide details in this one) as to what that problem is, so we can find a solution together.

Will the shortcodes be converted into blocks to work fully with the block editor? Is bbPress preparing for full-site editing that is coming this year?

[deborah86]

@robin-w

buddyboss is a private development that includes bbpress and buddypress in it, buddyboss has its own theme, and is designed to work with that. it is really designed as a paid solution with its own theme. https://www.buddyboss.com/

Buddyboss is not a replacement for buddypress and/or bbpress – these free plugins are just used by it.

I understand.

As the twenty twenty support says in their first post ‘I used the steps above to try and reproduce the issue you described, but I was unable to. When testing, I see the list of forums available as expected.’

bbpress works fine with twentytwenty, as indeed does bbpress and buddypress work with twentytwenty.

Neither bbpress or BuddyBoss are working correctly on my website with the Twenty Twenty theme. That is why I am contacting both bbPress and BuddyBoss for support. I have tried both plugins.

I first had the issue with bbPress. I installed BuddyBoss to see if I would have the same issue. I still had the same issue.

I contacted BuddyBoss. They told me to contact the twentytwenty theme developers because it is an issue with the theme. I contacted them. They told me it is an issue with BuddyBoss and bbPress since I experience the same issue with both plugins. Now, I am contacting bbPress and BuddyBoss for additional help.

I have had the website since November and I am unable to replicate the issue on a brand new WordPress install. I don’t know if the age of the website makes a difference.

I suspect this issue is with using Buddyboss with the twentytwenty theme, and buddyboss may well consider that to be an issue with twentytwenty and not their problem, just as Ford might consider you using a Chevolet gearbox on a Ford and not working to be a Chevrolet issue. Since buddyboss is a paid solution, I cannot test to find out what is wrong.

I suspect the issue is with the default template that something is trying to use, and might be quite simple to fix, but as I don’t have access to Buddyboss without buying it, I can’t say.

I understand this is also an issue with Buddyboss and the twentytwenty theme. I have also contacted their support. I am contacting you for help with the bbPress plugin.

The BuddyBoss platform is opensource. You can download it on their website without paying.

Please explain to me why I am having the same issue with bbPress. Why is bbPress not working correctly with the twentytwenty theme but it works fine with the other themes?

[elliesatt]

I’m using the plugin bbpress-ajax-replies I found from this thread here.

Works great on desktop, and even when I simulate mobile on Chrome developer console. But when I actually access on mobile (Android), clicking on the reply button reloads the page, so ajax doesn’t seem to be working.

Any idea what could be going wrong? Thanks in advance for any help or advice given!

[Robin W]

hmmm..

ok, let me try and unpick this to help you.

I am currently using the Twenty Twenty theme. The theme is causing jumbled text on the forum page.

Forum Page

I have tried both bbPress and BuddyBoss. I have the same issue. I contacted BuddyBoss, they stated there is an issue with the Twenty Twenty theme. I contacted the admins at the Twenty Twenty theme. They told me to go to bbPress for support. I cannot locate the issue in the code.

See Twenty Twenty theme ticket

I also completed the additional troubleshooting steps:

• Deactive plugins – this did not solve the issue
• Themes – switching the themes fixes the issue. I contacted the Twenty Twenty theme authors. They told me to contact you.
• Selecting the default permalinks – I am already using the default permalinks
• Repair Forums – this did not solve the issue
• Using WP Debug – no debug issues appeared
• Diagnose Javascript errors – there are no javascript errors appearing

I have basically tried everything besides resetting my WordPress website. Nothing seems to work.

Hello. I hope I’m in the correct forum. If not, I apologize.

I am new to forum plugins. I downloaded bbPress and have it installed. I also have a WordPress blog plugin I’m currently using as well. In order for the forum plugin to display I had to create a page and therefore is being displayed along the top of my blog as Discussion Forum (changed from Forum).

Note: I also have Forum which is the Asgaros Forum plugin. You can ignore this. It is there only for comparison purposes.

What I would like to do is unassociate bbPress from my Blog and make bbPress totally standalone. Is this possible? If so, can you provide me with instruction?

Thank you very much!
Charles

Bonjour à tous, voilà, j’ai un bbpress qui contient 7 forums ! le 1er forum ne me servira que pour poster mes annonces à destination des visiteurs et membres. Lorsqu’on crée un nouveau forum il n’existe aucune possibilité de restriction par rôle en lecture et écriture. Je trouve étonnant que BBpress si connu n’ai pas cette option. J’aimerais simplement que personne ne puisse intervenir sur ce forum sauf moi.
Aussi, il place les forums par ordre alphabétique, j’ai dû mettre 0,1,2,3,etc.. pour commencer chaque titre afin de classer mes forums comme je voulais.. Encore une lacune pourtant élémentaire me semble t’il.
Si quelqu’un à une solution, je suis tout ouïe lol
Ou me propose un autre plugin forum plus efficace tout en restant aussi clean, pas trop envie d’avoir un site carnaval 🙂

[Mike Witt]

@deborahdavidson, This is probably not a bbPress issue. We have the same problem, particularly with iPhones. It tends to show up on forums posts and things like memberpress signups. I know of one particular iPhone issue that *sometimes* causes this, if you want more info on that.

[satyrography]

Sorry, I confused Buddypress with BBPress again. :/
I meant the personal messages.

[maxx203]

Hello ,

i dont know if this is a feature inside bbpress i can set anywhere. Thats why iam creating this topic.

My problem is that inside the bbpress forum it does show all authors. Even the authors which does not have a valid posting inside the Last Post column. Because of that the forum does also show the name of the authors of posts which are moved to pending or spam queue. Is there any setting to hide such authors from the lastest post column?

Regards
Maxx

Oh here is an answer!

Wrong bbp_get_reply_url() when paging with reverse order

This snippet works – i’m just a bit confused how to turn it on when replies are descending and off when they are ascending…

add_filter('bbp_get_reply_position', 'lugpa_get_reply_position', 10, 3);
function lugpa_get_reply_position($reply_position, $reply_id, $topic_id){
    
    if(empty($topic_id))
        $topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id ($reply_id);
    
    $numReplies = bbp_get_topic_reply_count($topic_id);
    return ($numReplies+1) - $reply_position; // plus one because of thread description
}

Thanks again @robin-w and @webmasterfreya –

I ended up deleting the part causing errors from ‘bbpress sort topic replies’ plugin, and that works – (for topics not for forums though)… Its nice because it gives the ‘show lead topic’ and reply sort order in the admin meta box. Can share somewhere if its useful.

But yes now I see what you mean! that upon posting the newest reply, it redirects to the last page of the pagination, which in the case of replies descending by date, makes no sense. Sorry for hijacking your topic!

Hmmm any ideas where to start on this?

[ViNOJ]

Hi
I have received solution from UM support.
If you want to use UM plugin with bbPress & BuddyPress you just have to remove filter to disable UM avatar
Checkout this link for more details.

[Robin W]

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/ should fix that

[Milan Petrovic]

Hello,

My plugin GD Mail Queue – https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-mail-queue/ works with bbPress, and it allows the use of custom SMTP, it can queue bbPress notifications as individual emails, and it can wrap emails in HTML for better email presentation.

I gave it a go, and it kinda worked, lol…
But this reverses all the replies INCLUDING the original topic.
So the original topic goes to the bottom…
What I would ideally want is the Topic, THEN the replies in reverse order…

// Reverse reply order on News topic

add_filter('bbp_has_replies_query','bbp_reverse_reply_order');
function bbp_reverse_reply_order( $query = array() ) {
	// Identify post type
	$bbPress_post_id = get_the_ID();
	$bbPress_post_type = get_post_type($bbPress_post_id);

	if( $bbPress_post_type =='topic' ){

		/** TOPIC **/
			$query['order']='DESC';
			return $query;

  }
};

[Back to Front]

Checking in because I want this too… there was a plugin called ‘bbpress sort topic replies’, that no longer works, but I’m going to try to grab the code from that

[drewmorris]

How do you configure bbPress to use an SMTP mailer plugin, if you can?

[Back to Front]

Thanks again for taking a look is the code that appends the checkboxes to the bbpress topic forms… I guess $_POST is a global variable that bbpress topic form is also using?

Sorry this is obviously a bit beyond me. And obviously beyond a free solution! But yes if you or others in bbpress do paid work like thiset me know and I’ll be in touch!

// Add custom taxonomies to topic form

add_action ( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_form_content', 'bbp_extra_fields');

function bbp_extra_fields() {

$value = get_post_meta( bbp_get_topic_id(), 'issue', true);
	echo '<div id="custom-meta">';
	echo'<fieldset>
        <legend>Issues</legend>';
	$issues = get_terms('issue', array('hide_empty' => 0));
	foreach ($issues as $issue) {
	echo '<span><input type="checkbox" class="issue" for="issue" value="'.$issue->slug.'"></input><label>'.$issue->name.'</label></span>';
	};
	echo '</fieldset>';

$value = get_post_meta( bbp_get_topic_id(), 'region', true);
global $region;
$region = get_terms('region', array('hide_empty' => 0));
echo'<fieldset>
        <legend>Region</legend>';
$regions = get_terms('region', array('hide_empty' => 0));
foreach ($regions as $region) {
echo '<span><input type="checkbox" class="issue" for="issue"value="'.$region->slug.'"><label>'.$region->name.'</label></span>';
};
echo '</fieldset></div>';
};

Thank you for the plugin.

It worked well. There is a provision to allow only the moderator to reply. However, there doesn’t seem to be a provision to allow the topic creator to reply to his own topic.

If I set it to ‘create/edit/view OWN topics’, the user is unable to view other topics.

Is there a fix to this?

I found this topic – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-make-only-post-author-and-moderators-can-reply/

It seems to address the problem, but the file is unavailable. And I’m not sure how to use the code in the last reply.

[nosashandy]

Hello,

I’ve question, I already read around the bbPress roles and capabilities

But, I still not sure do the user with Participant roles, can set the Topic Status to Closed when Create New Topic in the forum.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

sorry, I was looking for the topic – I knew this one had cropped up before

It is a known bug, the answer is

Deactivate and reactivate All in One SEO and the bbPress menu links will appear.

[Robin W]

ok, yes that should give you the forum button on the dashboard.

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
