Hi,

I faced the same problem after update to bbPress 2.6.4.
It’s very important to show ‘last updated’ correctly, because it’s needed to control the forum.

[Chuckie]

Thanks, so something like this:

// Actually build all of this HTML
function build_html() {
    
    $this->sort_users();
    $data = $this->stats_builder();
    $HTMLOutput = "";
    
	if (is_user_logged_in())  {
		if ( is_bbpress() && current_user_can( 'spectate' ) ) {
			foreach( $data as $key => $html ) {
			   $HTMLOutput .= "<div class='bbpas-" . $key . "' id='bbpas-" . $key . "'>" . $html . "</div>";
			}
		}
    }
	
    return $HTMLOutput;
}

Yes?

[Robin W]

add an additional if statement

if ( is_bbpress() && ! current_user_can( 'spectate' ) )

if they can’t spectate then they are blocked

It seems this forum only answers certain questions…

I really want to keep BBpress on my site, but it’s just as easy to take it down if support is non-existent 🙁

Any help to above question would be appreciated.

how to hide new topics n replies of bbpress in buddypress activity wall?
I tried wb com plugin activity filter, it messed up with my other plugin from buddydev to show all community activity tab.

Ok everyone I have searched and tried everything I have found but it all seems to be for subforums.

My problem: I have categories set up and then my forums are sub forums under that.

I have one forum that I have sub-subs under. These show as a list like forum1,forum2, forum3…

I would like the sub-subs to display like
forum1
forum2
forum3

I have the latest version of bbpress and haven’t found anything in there. I have also tried the plugins that others have suggested and they were no help either.

You can see how my forum is set up in the pic. The big list I would much rather have look like the rest of the forum but just be indented some.

Thanks for reading!

I’ve got the same issue with a BuddyPress/bbPress installation with private groups that have private forums. Forum search searches ALL the forums, whether they’re private or not and whether the user should be able to see that forum.

I deactivated forum search from WP Admin (Settings > Forums > Allow forum wide search) until there’s a way to close this security hole.

WP 5.3.2
BBpress 2.6.4
Buddypress 5.1.2 (with private forums)

Hi,

When entering a registered user name via [bbp-search], messages from this user are shown eventhough they are in a private forum and the requesting user is NOT a member of that group.
This clearly violates the privacy and should not be happening.

I have removed all occurences of [bbp-search] , and with that lost the ability to search through the forums.

To test
– create 2 users (eg user-1, user-2)
– Make user-1 member of a private forum (forum-1) and create a topic and some replies.
– Make user-2 member of anothher private forum (forum-2) and create a topic and some replies.

– create a testpage with content [bbp-search], publish
– login with user-1
– got to testpage and search for user_2

No messages should show up, but i’m afraid they will.

Could anyone please try and get back here to share the result?

Hi! Started to advertise new forum on my site and had my assistant try it out only to discover lots of kinks (yikes!) I’m working through them but stuck on “Password reset is not allowed for this user”

She waited for an email to set password which never happened. So she tried to login without a password to force the “forgot password” reset and got the above error message. I’ve looked everywhere on the backend to allow but can’t figure it out.

I’m sad my forum isn’t working yet. Sure hope it can get going easily. Appreciate any help to make user registration seamless 🙂 thanks!

if you have subscriptions set in

dashboard>settings>forums

then this should show.

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.

Then come back

[Robin W]

I suspect that another plugin or your theme is causing this.

This is an odd one. I set a topic to Super Sticky but was unable to change to Normal. After Update it would revert back to Super Sticky. I was able to change to Sticky from Super Stick but still can not change to Normal.

Thanks for any help.

We are hosted on Kinsta and are considering testing Redis for object caching to improve bbPress performance.

Questions:

1. Any particular advice on specific recommendations for configuration?
2. Anyone else use Redis and see improvements? How did you measure those improvements?

Caveat: * we are also a membership-based site (MemberMouse) and forum posting is a privilege of certain membership levels.

[Alpo]

I have the latest WP version and bbPress version installed as vell.

Now I faced a challenge, since we have several organisations on our site and each of them have their own discussion forums.

When forum moderator wants to edit forum thread, the moderator is able to see other forums and even move topics to other organization forum.

Now comes the question:
Are there any ways how to hide site forums existence and prevent moving threads to other forums?

Thank you in advance!

Hi all,
I have deleted bbpress about a month ago, and google still crawling its data. I have many error pages on coverage and most of them like these:

?bbp_reply_to=6804&_wpnonce=2637e1a871
?bbp_reply_to=6804&_wpnonce=6dc026a681
?bbp_reply_to=6602&_wpnonce=b033dc5d03
?bbp_reply_to=6602&_wpnonce=83220f89ce
?bbp_reply_to=7816&_wpnonce=4380d31098

I think these are refering to bbpress reply and causing Alternate page with proper canonical tag.

google is hitting my site too much, and I am trying to figure out the reason, and discovered that google is crawling 19k pages and all errors.

can someone please tell me how to solve this or delete the date completely? before deleting bbpress, I reset all forums and cleared everything but still google sees them.

Hi – I have successfully added a bbpress forum (Version 2.6.4) to a new site with a custom theme on WordPress (5.3.2). I’m wondering if anyone can help recommend plugins to tackle some (I think) fairly standard requirements.

I’ve tried a few combinations myself without complete success so I’d really appreciate some guidance.

I’m trying to –

• Allow user registration (sign up, get password, manage profile, password reminder),
• Admin manually approve/suspend/delete users,
• Prevent spam,
• Import users from the previous forum using a csv of username and email.

Sorry if it all seems a bit basic but I’m tying myself up in knots finding the right plugins.

Hi there,

I’m building a website with Elementor Pro and bbPress.
I created 2 different Headers: a main one for the Landing page and blog, and another one for the forums.
I used the shortcode to display the forums index on a page I’ve built with Elementor and the Header works fine. But when it comes to the automatically created single pages (topic, reply, search, etc.), it displays the main Header.

I contacted Elementor support, not knowing if the issue was on their side or on yours, and they told me I had to contact you, explaining me this :
“For your information, we usually find this happening when creating custom post types where it is excluded from showing in menus via the custom post type’s “show_in_nav_menus” option; this option is found in the post type’s “register_post_type” function used to add it in WordPress and may be set to “false” in this case […] we highly recommend contacting the bbPress support team to help with changing this option to “true”. The solution we suspect would be similar to using the function code mentioned in this bbPress support post but with the ‘show_in_nav_menus’ variable set to ‘true’ > https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-snippet-hack-to-include-bbpress-topics-in-wordpress-search/ ”

So, here I am! Can someone help me, please?

Thank you!

After the last update, all pages disappeared from the front page.
“Could not find page”. As if permalink was wrong.
They could all be seen on the admin side.
When I disabled bbpress they all reappeared.
Do I really need to disable bbpress to make the pages work?

This is answered here:

Syntax Highlight

[Chuckie]

I just wanted to point out that Enlighter is a fantastic plugin for syntax highlighting.

Enlighter – Customizable Syntax Highlighter

The current version works with bbPress 2.6 although it has a conflict of interest with one feature. It is discussed here:

https://github.com/EnlighterJS/Plugin.WordPress/issues/211

At the moment I don’t really know how I can supress the conflicting CSS styles referred to in the above link.

I should also point out that at the moment the version 4 beta is not working with bbPress yet. Although, it is supposed to resolve the aforementioned issue concerning conflicting CSS styles.

Eitherway, I am happy to know about Enlighter. Thumbs up from me!

I tried to post as code….will try again. But this didn’t work.

function rew_max_length ($reply_content) {
	if (strlen($reply_content)<500) {
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_content', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your reply must be less than 500 characters.', 'bbpress' ) );
	}
return $reply_content ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'rew_max_length' );

[Robin W]

I don’t know how technical you are, this one does the opposite

function rew_min_length ($reply_content) {
	if (strlen($reply_content)<61) {
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_content', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your reply must be at least 60 characters.', 'bbpress' ) );
	}
return $reply_content ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'rew_min_length' );

[andrew55]

Oddly, the sidebar content for user shows (username, links to topics, etc.) even though there is a 404 error where the main forums should be. I tried running bbPress with almost all plugins disabled and default theme enabled – still get the 404. But when main page is refreshed, forums display correctly.

[Robin W]

sorry, we only fix bbpress issues 🙂
