I have WordPress 5.6 and bbpress 2.6.6

[tierarepro]

If I rename the bbpress directory from FTP, then I can login. WordPress has disabled the plugin because it can’t find the path. Then if I rename it back to bbpress and activate the plugin, everything is working fine.

If I logout and try to login again, the same error happens, so there is something wrong with bbpress that is affecting the login process.

[tierarepro]

I changed my WordPress database password and when I try to login I get the following error on wp-login.php

{"success":false,"data":[{"code":"bbp_converter_db_connection_failed","message":"Database connection failed."}]}

and on error.log

[14-Dec-2020 08:43:29 UTC] PHP Warning: register_shutdown_function(): Invalid shutdown callback 'BBP_Converter_DB::__destruct' passed in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/classes/class-bbp-converter-db.php on line 33

I tried to delete and reinstall bbpress plugin, but it didn’t help.
Any idea what is going on?

Hi, since I used BBPRESS, we shared links and post from facebook, instagram or youtube and bbpress used to preview them, very nice.

But since a few weeks ago that stopped working and now only shows the link…

Any idea?

Thank you, @chalkie1983uk. Where in bbpress would the second snippet of code go?

I’ve got 28 plugins installed. I’m not trying to add any more.

Cheers

You could use something like this in the functions.php file:

function is_user_logged_in() {
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
 
    return $user->exists();
}

then look into adding a function in the bbpress like so:

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    {display the content}
} else {
    {setup redirect}
}

Its a bit hard as you don’t want any plugins or addons, if you did it would be easier to just create a plugin which would automatically hook it in.

Thanks for the fast reply, but unfortunately it didn’t work. It’s still showing my last login date everywhere. I have tried to look what login date will show, when I am not logged in, but it is showing the same, so I think it has something to do, that it is showing the admin last login (not the one of the current logged in user). One possibility also could be that some code of the theme is overriding the functions of bbPress, so I will ask the developer if there is any theme related code to get the user id.

ok, changing themes will not I think get you any further. Without being able to see your site, I can’t really help further, as I can’t examine what is being downloaded to your browser, and what is either not taking effect or being overridden.

I take it you have been amending the 1.5em to see whether it changes – I just put a figure in there.

as a last guess, you could try

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-info {
	font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-topic-count {
	font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
	font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-freshness {
	font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

[pflanzenoma]

Yes. In the Theme and in the bbPress Style Pack.

Nothing worked.

[pflanzenoma]

That’s what I tried, but it didn’t work. I Think I’ll have to change the theme again. Do you recommend a theme for simple use of bbPress?

[Robin W]

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-info {
	font-size: 1.5em;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-topic-count {
	font-size: 1.5em;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
	font-size: 1.5em;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-freshness {
	font-size: 1.5em;
}

Hello there!

I was trying to integrate a code, so other users can see the last login of any user. The integration in the admin panel worked out with a snippet, which I found in the internet, but still, I couldn’t figure it out how to show it in the profile page.

The snippet, which I used is shown underneath (can be found here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-show-users-last-login-date-in-wordpress/). I did some changes in the function wpb_lastlogin:

<?php 
/**
 * Capture user login and add it as timestamp in user meta data
 *
 */
 
function user_last_login( $user_login, $user ) {
    update_user_meta( $user->ID, 'last_login', time() );
}
add_action( 'wp_login', 'user_last_login', 10, 2 );
 
/**
 * Display last login time
 *
 */
  
function wpb_lastlogin() { 
    $last_login = get_the_author_meta('last_login');
(also tried:      get_user_meta( $user_id 'last_login', true );
    $the_login_date = human_time_diff($last_login); - changed to: date_i18n(get_option('date_format'), $last_login);
    return $the_login_date; 
} 
 
/**
 * Add Shortcode lastlogin 
 *
 */
  
add_shortcode('lastlogin','wpb_lastlogin');
?>

This code above I have in my function.php file in my child theme. Till here everything works fine. Besides BBPress I use a forum theme (Disputo), where I want to integrate the last login in the profile page of the user. Therefore I was trying to figure out a code to do so. The page (as an example, my own user page) is: https://www.denkerecke.de/benutzer/lukas/. For that I was using the user-profile.php , which is also used by the theme. I also used the code from the website, which I mentioned before:

<?php echo 'Last seen: '. do_shortcode('[lastlogin]') .' ago'; ?>

Still, it didn’t work out. The problem is that on every user page only the last login of myself (the admin) is shown. I think its because somewhere in the code is a mistake, so not the user id of the user profile page is filtered, rather the user id of the current logged in user or the admin.

Does anyone have an idea to fix it? I would appreciate your help.

Greetings,
Lukas Herrmann

suggest you contact the GD bbPress Toolbox Pro author to se if he can help

[xprojectsx]

Thanks Robin. I did try it with no luck. I’ve completely reset my wp install and starting from scratch with bbpress as the first plugin. I will try data import again with a small test sample and try your plugin again.

[xprojectsx]

Still stuck on this issue. Pretty frustrating. I found this from two years ago. Not the exact scenario but sounds similar enough and trying to see if this will help.

Importer major issue

[chalkie1983uk]

Good day to you,

I am using BBpress on mywebsite, and I will have a couple of moderators who I want to be able to create forums from the admin system, I have used ‘User Role Editor’ and created a new user role (Moderator) and give them access to the forums, topics and replies.

The ‘topics’ and ‘replies’ show up in the admin back end system for them but not the ‘forums’ so they are unable to create new forums or sub forums.

Have I missed something from the user editor?

Thanks

[michaelgoal]

I have this in my url:
/create-new-post/?vis=current_user_id

current_user_id should be userid as a number for logged in user.
And i would like to bring Postid to create-new-post page too..

Any ideas how it works in bbpress ?

[boogieboa]

Thank you for the tip.

I’m hoping someone can suggest a non-pluggin option. I currently use GD bbPress Toolbox Pro (Version 5.8.9) with bbPress. It redirects non-members at forum level, but not at topic or post level, which is what I’d like to set up.

Cheers

[Robin W]

sorry, this is theme related, not bbpress

[namutube]

Hello,

I am setting up the bbpress.
I want to expand the content area of ​​forum to the right green part as in the image.
Please help me.

WordPress version: Version 5.5.3
bbPress version: 2.6.6

Thank you.

[Robin W]

This seems like an easy fix for a developer

Unfortunately not – bpress plays well with many themes, but lots of themes do their own thing, and there is no way bbpress can work out what every theme is doing with fonts. bbpress adheres to wordpress standards and conventions.

Open foundation software is free, but it replies on people adhering to conventions that can constrict a plugin or theme author, or they are ignorant of, as many of the ‘rules’ are unwritten.

I wrote style pack to help where themes do not work well with bbpress, but even then, some decide to copy css from bbpress and these then overwrite style pack.

I feel your pain, but not an easy one to fix 🙁

[Tamie]

I have this same issue. I can see that this has been a problem for many, many years and has not been fixed. Why isn’t bbpress not picking up the size from the wptheme? It makes no sense that everything else on the website has normal font size and the forum is miniature.

This seems like an easy fix for a developer but is a real pain for people trying to figure out how all of this works, but no one seems to want to bother fixing it.

If we have to add CSS, then we have to add a child theme. I am using Astra and a templet. I have no idea where to get a child theme for that. And for something like this, should we really have to? And I really am not familiar with CSS.

I beg you, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this. This stuff is hard enough for us newbies.

[neon67]

Tell me please. Is there a regular bbpress setting to allow the user to delete their topics and posts? How it possible for user to edit their posts in the standard installation.

Reason: Not downloading another big plugin for such a simple feature,
even though this plugin is majestic and wonderful ))

[Robin W]

put this in the custom css area of your theme

#bbpress-forums #bbp-your-profile fieldset fieldset.password {
		display: none;
}

and let me know if it works !
