I suspect it is in an amended version in your theme

so look in the theme for a folder called bbpress – their amended version should be in there

Robin,
Doubtful they’d have a response. Is the ‘On’ atypical to normal bbPress installs?
If so, I can start looking at the theme instead of bbP.

-e

[Longbow]

I’m digging through php and can’t locate where the word “On” gets inserted.

bbpress/includes/replies/template/php

lines 660-680

	function bbp_get_reply_post_date( $reply_id = 0, $humanize = false, $gmt = false ) {
		$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );

		// 4 days, 4 hours ago
		if ( ! empty( $humanize ) ) {
			$gmt_s  = ! empty( $gmt ) ? 'G' : 'U';
			$date   = get_post_time( $gmt_s, $gmt, $reply_id );
			$time   = false; // For filter below
			$result = bbp_get_time_since( $date );

		// August 4, 2012 at 2:37 pm
		} else {
			$date   = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $gmt, $reply_id, true );
			$time   = get_post_time( get_option( 'time_format' ), $gmt, $reply_id, true );
			$result = sprintf( _x( '%1$s at %2$s', 'date at time', 'bbpress' ), $date, $time );
		}

		// Filter & return
		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_reply_post_date', $result, $reply_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time );
	}

FYI I use the free version of GD bbPress Tools that has a setting for the User Signature. This plugin is actively updated.

Got the above from this stackoverflow thread

My problem is exactly like that except for bbpress

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/

I have the same problem toiday with bbpress 2.6.6

I explained here : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-subscriptions-are-not-displayed-in-profile/#post-218191

Maybe you have an idea ?

The plugin ‘bbPress Topics for Posts’ could’ve helped buy I’m getting an error when I activate it.

so what exact error message are you getting ?

[athep]

I can’t see to get <?php comments_template(); ?> to work, it only outputs the string comments are closed. The plugin ‘bbPress Topics for Posts’ could’ve helped buy I’m getting an error when I activate it.

Is there a way I could enable comments on/under forum or topic pages?

BBPress Site: https://liveforprogress.com/forums/
Problem: I am working with divi theme and using a Global Header across the site. The header is being extended extra wide on only the bbpress forums page. On all other site pages the width is target width. The only text written on the actual page is ‘[bbp-forum-index]‘. I am working with a child theme but this problem was present prior to the activation of it so it should not be related.

Thank you in advance for any help and hope you have a blessed day!!!

Best,
Ricky

For your questions:
-Yes, I have a bbpress in the plugins folder (version 2.6.6)
-I have these files there in a Multinews folder => content-archive-forum.php
content-search.php
content-single-forum.php
content-single-topic.php
content-single-topic-lead.php
form-search.php
loop-forums.php
loop-replies.php
loop-search.php
loop-search-forum.php
loop-search-reply.php
loop-search-topic.php
loop-single-forum.php
loop-single-reply.php
loop-single-topic.php
loop-topics.php

-I put these files above in a bbpress folder in Multinews-child, and it’s them I’m transforming.

But sometimes I supplement these files with others that are in 2.6.6, for example content-single-user.php. Now I realize that they are not in the same version as those contained in Multinews that will cause me problems.

[Robin W]

ok, we need to be sure what we are talking about.

if you have :
bbpress in dashboard>plugins
you have template files in your child theme under a folder called bbpress

then bbpress should be at the latest version
but the template files can be older, they just pull in information to display, and if they are not breaking anything, then that is fine.

[frenchlemans]

Thank you for your very interesting suggestions.
So if I understand correctly I can continue to use an old BBpress without any risk for the future?
So far everything was fine with him, I just don’t want to worry about the future.

[Robin W]

ok,

so if I am understanding, you have bbpress template files in your child theme under a folder called bbpress

These are just templates which can be amended to get the look you want, which is obviously what tyhe multinews theme has done.

so if correct you have 3 choices

• stay with the new files and lose the presentation you had
• go back to the old files – if they work, they are just templates and should be fine
• work out which templates are causing the issue and look to update these to any new code (which would require you to understand some php)

If everything was working, then I’d suggest you go back to the old files.

Hello Robin,

My BBpress version was acquired with the global Multinews theme which has BBpress integration.
I was working with BBpress files for this theme in a child. I configured according to my wishes and I realized that the BBpress files of Multinews are old (they have not updated anything on that side).
So I put a current version of BBpress but on the other hand the whole presentation changes in particular at the category and forum level as I indicated in the presentation.

[Robin W]

I have just had a thought, when you are looking at this, what level bbpress access does the person viewing it have, they should have both administrator and keymaster as seen in dashboard>users

[zklennerf]

I used twenty twenty and only bbpress active and nothing appears. Neither in dashboard> tools> forums
or
dashboard> settings> forums

[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?

[zklennerf]

On the wordpress desktop, in the sidebar, where the pages, entries, settings tabs are, the forum, topics and replies tabs should show … these 3 do not appear and the forum option does not appear in the wordpress settings tab so i can’t change bbpress settings

[zklennerf]

Thanks for your answer. I changed the theme and deactivated all the plugins one by one, even leaving only bbpress active but still the tabs and settings did not appear. Will there be any other solution? Thanks,

[Robin W]

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

[zklennerf]

I have bbpress installed but the forum, discussion and answers tab does not appear on the wordpress desktop.

[theyuw]

I have noticed that if you quote something online, it seems to get blocked from posting. Is there a setting in BBPress that can turn off this “Copyright” block or is it built into the plugin? Thanks in advance for the help.
