BUMP!

I’ve tried a few other linked resolutions within this support forum as well as other tickets and still no solution.

Would love some help with anyone else who has had it fixed for bbpress version 2.6.5

[Jason]

I’m having trouble getting shortcodes for a picture gallery to work in topics. Did some looking around here and it seems I may need a shortcode plug in and also possibly a shortcode whitelist plugin to go with it. I looked at this one bbPress2 shortcode whitelist, but it is a bit old and hasn’t been tested with 5.5.1. I’m running 7.4.10 PHP, LiteSpeed webserver, 2.6.5 bbpress.

The shortcode for a photo gallery shows up in the post as text but that is all. https://transmissiontuner.com/blog/forums/topic/allison-bellhousing-types/

I asked for support on this from the photogallery plugin and they said it was a bbpress problem.
thanks!

Hi Robin, sorry for the delay. I only had my phone available, but will try to find a PC as soon as I can. On my phone (which I hadn’t accessed to this site before) appears to also show that it’s not spanning the full width, though it’s harder to see since it’s a minimized viewport to begin with. 🙂

Hopefully, you can see what I mean here, though?

[LeadGuitarMx]

Hi, I solved this problem by adding this to my bbpress-functions.php
add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );

The problem is that bbpress is sending the posts to moderation but it doesn’t show any advice to the user or admins. I don’t know why 🤷‍♂️

Hope it helps

[Robin W]

I suspect that it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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

[ginaginagina]

Yes! Holy smokes, thank you, Robin! That worked like a charm 🙂 I do have access to FTP and my child theme, but I’m happy with these results (unless it’s better that it’s in the files instead?).

Is there any way to redistribute the content now along the full length of the row to take up the space of the missing column? I guess the column is still there, just has hidden content, so maybe this isn’t possible. Here’s what I mean:

[Angelo Rocha]

Yes, I’m inserting the shortcode, but when editing the topic, bbpress converts the shortcode to HTML, see the images, I don’t know why that happens.

[Robin W]

um…that’s what shortcodes are for ???

if you just want the shortcode displayed without bbpress interpreting it, then use the ‘code’

eg

[model_viewer ID'...']

[Angelo Rocha]

Hi Robin W.
This solution allow Model Viewer Tag, but bbpress editor keeps converting my shortcode to html, how to solve this?

Thanks.

[joergfischer]

Hi there,

I hope anybody can help me (I already searched but didn´t find what I´m looking for). I set up a small forum with bbpress and would like a separately log-in page at the beginning. No register, just login (the forum should not be visible before logging in). I tried to put the [bbp-login] Form on the first page. But when you logged-in you should direct to the forum-page, which I don´t know how to do.
Can anybody can give me a hint or a link to an already existing topic (which I didn´t found)?

Thanks a lot and best

Jörg

I tried to find something about removing “Last Post” which displays on the home page of my forum, but could only find posts related to “Freshness” — Freshness only shows up on my topics under each category, and I’ve already found a way to successfully remove these. The problem is, when people show up to the forum’s home page, they see “Last Post” which shows something that’s months old instead of the last time someone posted which might just be a few hours. I may be reading the “Last Post” thing incorrectly, but either way, it discourages people from interacting because they think no new activity is happening due to the date on the “Last Post” column.

How do I either get it to display the “Freshness” (e.g. the last time someone posted a reply or topic in that category) OR — preferably, if possible — remove “Last Post” from the forum home page altogether?

My forum is unfortunately private (members-only), so a URL won’t help, but attaching a screenshot of our forum’s home page to show the “Last Post” column we’d ideally like to get rid of.

[Robin W]

I appreciate that you are trying to use levers to get a resolution, but you are assuming that someone who has developed a free piece of software has some need to not have any negative feedback.

I am not a bbppress author, I just help out here, but having written several plugins including the style pack, there are what they are – you hope that others find them useful, but it makes no financial difference to you if no-one uses them.

Berating the authors for not offering a one to one response service on a product that has 300,000 users is perhaps asking too much.

I sincerely hope that you get to a resolution, but nested replies has never been a great feature within bbpress, and if that makes you choose another free product, then I will be sorry, but understand.

[graugart]

First open this URL to bypass the “coming soon”: https://www.defensivebjj.com/?bypass=turtlez

Then here is a page that should display the topics index: https://www.defensivebjj.com/members-forum-test/

These are the shortcodes I am trying (both bbstyle pack and bbpress)

[bsp-display-topic-index show=”20″ forum =”611″ search=”no” breadcrumb=”no”]

[bbp-single-forum id="611"]

[uksentinel]

The shortcode I use for BBPress is [bbp-forum-index] and it shows freshness for myself.

Try this on a test page to see if this works ?

(I am not an expert, so bare-with)

html is not allowed for security purposes, but if you want to enable all or some then

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(

		// Links
		'a'          => array(

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

When i insert a shortcode in bbpress topic editor, when editing the topic it converts the shortcode to HTML, how to solve this?

[acb93]

Hi again! It “resolved” somehow…

I dindn’t want to use this:

https://wpfavs.com/plugins/bbpress-permalinks-with-id

Because is a 4 years out of date plugin but i tried and… IT works!

If somebody have the same problem commented before, I could help with no problem.

Regards.

Hello there!

At the moment I am using bbpress for my philosophy forum and also a plugin for highlight search terms, which is called “Highlight Search Terms”. If I search something the results are showing the topic excerpt without any relation to the search term. Is there any possibility to show the specific excerpt of the topic, where the search term is used?

Greetings,
Lukas

[acb93]

Hi. I have a “little problem”.

Im am using custom permalinks to the topics contents:

Example:

https://www.ggforo.com/foros/topic/%post_id%

So everything is perfect using ID post on topics URL but… when a user tries to edit the post (no WP admin, inside the topic, a normal user) is redirected to the list of forums:

https://www.ggforo.com/foros

I Have no idea why this is happening. I tried to search which bbpress file need to modify or something but I have no luck for the moment…

BBPress Version: 2.6.5
Wordpress Version: 5.5.1

If someone could help me I would appreciate it

Regards.

Hello,

I am using the Thimpress Course Builder template.

I am using the bbpress for Forum and I am seeing here two issues: https://prnt.sc/unqoj3

1. On a topic site (https://uni.chronoinstitut.org/forums/topic/regulationsdiagnostik/): There is no “backwards button” to get back to the main forum page (https://uni.chronoinstitut.org/forums/forum/forum/)

2. There is a layout issue (the same happens on the main forum page)

3. Where can I see the specific topic pages in the back office, since I wanna adjust the header?

Regulationsdiagnostik

Can we solve this?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am using bbPress Forum in one site of my client but we are getting one issue that while replying on some replies of a forum it is not displaying them like tree structure. It is creating new li for replies so these are not displaying underneath to each other.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

[ricks03]

I recently migrated my forums to bbPress under WordPress from my old Drupal server.

Everything is great, all the subforums have their dates correct, and display correctly.

But the very top page the days are all wildly inaccurate. If I add a topic to the forum they update, but if I delete the topic again they revert to the former value.

I’ve run the >Tools > Forums > Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum and it reports successful if no change.

My forums are Forum > SubForum > Subforum > Topic if that matters.

I am using a wordpress site to make forums with bbpress. We like to have a lot of security and dont like to show ip addresses to anyone other than keymasters, https://prnt.sc/uozyfi is an example of what this looks like.

Is there a way to edit a part in the theme/css or make it so only keymasters can see ips?
Please use baby steps or something that someone who is moderatley tech literate can use.
