How about the below?

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content a{
	word-wrap: break-word;
}

Sorry. It was not bbPress. I deactivated “reCaptcha by BestWebSoft” plugin that I have used for many years, and now it seems working.

After recent update to bbPress 2.6.4, I got the same problem.
I’m sure that emails in general work correctly for my website, because emails are sent in all cases except registration. I got notifications that a new user just registered. When a newly registered user click “Lost Passord”, he can receive an email to set a password. Also if I login Word Press as admin and choose Users > Add New, everything is OK.

I’ve read that this problem is related to WP itself, but I think it is also connected with bbPress, because it appeared right after update.

To Robin: please spend some of your time to fix this issue, because new users can’t register.

[Robin W]

yes see no reason not to delete it, bbpress just uses standard WordPress tables (post, postmeta and options) BUT, I would use phpmyadmin and export it first, so you have a backup just in case!

I actually found a solution by trying some stuff out.

Go to this file: …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/formatting.php

And at the bottom of that file, add this:

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(
		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'href'     => true,
			'title'    => true,
			'rel'      => true,
			'class'    => true,
			'target'    => true,
		),
		// Quotes
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite'     => true,
		),
		
		// Div
		'div' => array(
			'class'     => true,
		),
		
		// Span
		'span'             => array(
			'class'     => true,
                        'style'     => true,
		),
		
                // Paragraph
		'p'             => array(
			'class'     => true,
                        'style'     => true,
		),

		// Code
		'code'       => array(),
		'pre'        => array(
			'class'  => true,
		),
		// Formatting
		'em'         => array(),
		'strong'     => array(),
		'del'        => array(
			'datetime' => true,
		),
		// Lists
		'ul'         => array(),
		'ol'         => array(
			'start'    => true,
		),
		'li'         => array(),
		// Images
		'img'        => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'src'      => true,
			'border'   => true,
			'alt'      => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'width'    => true,
		),
		// Tables
		'table'      => array(

			'border'   => true,
		),
		'tbody'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'td'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tfoot'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'th'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'thead'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tr'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		)
	);
}

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone knows how to allow users to align text in posts/threads?
Right now it just comes out as raw code text:
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Test test test</p>

I have been trying to mess a bit in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/formatting.php but to no success. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to allow p style and text alignments?

Thank you!

[Robin W]

sorry, I’m not a bbpress author, I just hep out here !! 🙂

Hey there
Thank you very much for your suggested solution. So far no success on our forum (https://zeitgut-zuerich.ch/forums/thema/nachbarschaftliche-unterstuetzung/). Do I need to do anything else after I changed ./template.php?

I realised meanwhile that the reply form opens where it should (i.e. right under the reply in want to write a reply to) when I click a second time on REPLY which is – obviously – very inconvenient.

I really would need a working forum since we need it for our neighbourhood assistance to coordinate help during the coronavirus lockdown here in Zurich (Switzerland).

Related: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/threaded-replies-not-working-urgent/

[WorldWideWebb]

OK – implemented a fix that seems to be working (time will tell). Hope this helps someone else:

The issue was indeed the redirect that happens when you click the reply links. The fix was to trap the default behavior of those links (using preventDefault so that the link is not followed), so added that to the link output. In the following file on line 1612:

bbpress/includes/replies/template.php

Change the line to this:

$onclick = ' onclick="event.preventDefault(); return addReply.moveForm(\'' . implode( "','", $move_form ) . '\');"';

[packzap]

When making a post with lots of text (let’s say 40+ paragraphs), bbPress throws the post into “pending” status and does not publish it. The user does not see the post after clicking “submit”.

The Admin can discover the unpublished post by going to Dashboard, Replies, find the post flagged with “–Pending” in dark black in the title, hovering the mouse over it, and then clicking “view”.

I don’t understand why I am having so many problems with bbPress with things like this since upgrading to version 2.6.4. Is there some kind of set limit to the amount of text that bbPress allows in a post now?

[Karen Drost]

I just got an email from a user who cannot edit his post. Looking at my settings, I found I had “Disallow editing after” set to 5 minutes. Underneath, it reads:
When this is checked, the setting to “0 minutes” makes it possible to always edit.

So, I entered 0 and hit Save. When I check the setting, it says 5 again. I tried several times, always with the same result (duh!). Any ideas how to fix this?

For now, I have entered a string of 999999999999, but that’s not very elegant, is it now?

I’m on the latest version of both WP and bbPress, using Twenty Sixteen as my theme.

[savesheep]

Let’s say it’s not in the Topic Types section – is there any other plug-in or concept that would allow me to somehow denote specific topics to get a different class? That’s all I’m looking for. We used to do it all the time on regular forums like phpbb – I’m just hoping there is something on this bbpress to mimic that response.

Hello,

Our school uses WPLMS as a course platform.

I created a forum with Bbpress but when I want to click on a link such as “modify”, “merge”, “close”, … the link is light gray and it does not respond when I place my mouse over it.

If you could help me, it would be great. I am however connected as administrator and moderator of the forum.

I am not ranting. I am expressing frustration about a something that has been an issue for over seven years in the bbPress support forums.

[Robin W]

I don’t understand, after so many updates to the bbPress core and so many questions in your Support forum about it, that this issue has not been resolved.

free software with free support – sorry but that is the quick answer. The authors give up their free time to make this available, and they choose what is important.

So you expecting someone else to spend their time for free fixing what you perceive to be your issue, and then feel justified to complain that you have spent ‘way too much time’ doesn’t really cut it.

sorry, you chose the wrong day to start ranting at other people.

[AnnieBVT]

I have been spending way too much time on trying to change the text editor for bbPress forums. Members should not be expected to know how to use html (which most don’t), and many will post text from other websites into a text box. I don’t understand, after so many updates to the bbPress core and so many questions in your Support forum about it, that this issue has not been resolved.

I added code recommended on the bbPress site in the child theme functions.php for my site, added TinyMCE Advanced, and searched for a checkbox in Forums Settings to enable a fancy editor. That checkbox is not in the list of options on my site. And all I see in the text editor for topic replies is the html buttons. Could someone please help us with fixing this issue. The plugin recommendations on this support forum are from many years ago, and those recommended plugins are out of date, no longer being updated, or cause problems for sites when installed.

I would really appreciate assistance. Thanks.

Getting “A variable mismatch has been detected.” error when trying to Move or Split a Topic or Reply as the Admin from the frontend. I’m using the most recent versions of BBPress, WordPress, PHP, and using the FreeLance Theme.
Any help appreciated.

[King Ding]

Hello,

I am using buddypress and bbpress. The error “You cannot create new discussions” appears when a non-member visits a group with a discussion. I understand this is standard functionality. However, is it possible to allow non-members to post in a groups discussion, without first needing to be a member?

Thanks,

Hi there
I recently installed bbPress on the WordPress website of our neighbourhood assistance.
We realy need this forum working since we have to coordinate assistance during the coronavirus lockdown here in Zurich (Switzerland).

It seems that there is a bug in regard to threaded replies. I checked out older topics in this support forum but nothing helped. Replies to replies do not work. if I click ‘Reply’, focus jumps to the bottom of the topic and the reply is placed there.

I appreciate any quick help very much so we can reach out to those who offer help and those who need assistance.

Wordpress: 5.3.2
Theme: Hestia
bbPress: 2.6.4
URL: https://zeitgut-zuerich.ch/forums/thema/nachbarschaftliche-unterstuetzung/

[Robin W]

no need to change them – they are only names, although you could change

add_action('bbpress_daily_event', 'bbpress_close_old_topics');

to

add_action('bbpress_daily_event', 'bbpress_delete_old_topics');

and

function bbpress_close_old_topics() {
	// Auto close old topics

to

function bbpress_delete_old_topics() {
	// Auto delete old topics

which would just make it clearer what it was doing – but not necessary !!

[writersabroad]

Robin, sorry another quick question do I have to replace all references to ‘close’ with ‘delete instead in the other sections of the code? e.g in this one

add_action(‘bbpress_daily_event’, ‘bbpress_close_old_topics’)

Thanks… sorry I’m not more up on this kind of thing…

Good day

I have one problem, I lost not all but some of my replies in the forum.

The problem started when I installed WpFence it then broke my site and in the front end the replies were not showing. At the time, I could not login to the site’s dashboard, the site being https/www.labourlawadvice.co.za, with a Worpress version of 5.3.2, Bbypress Version 2.6.4 and Divi theme.

I then went to cPanel and disabled WpFence was able to login back in but still the replies where not showing n the front end. By then I discovered that even though I can now login but I can’t update the plugins. I then went to the cPanel again loaded updated Divi theme and BbPress buy then, the site was giving me an error of memory which all settings were correct.

I the was forced to use the only backup of the site left, which was saved before migration using WPvivd.

Now, some replies are missing and need help to recover them, if there is a solution to such problem.

Thank you

[HoCh]

Hi there
Do you know if this “wrong behaviour” is still present in bbPress 2.6.4?
I get
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘scrollHeight’ of null
at Object.scrollToForm (reply.min.js?ver=2.6.4:3)
at Object.moveForm (reply.min.js?ver=2.6.4:3)
at HTMLAnchorElement.onclick (VM467:570)

This is quite inconvenient since I try to setup a forum for our neighborhood assistance due to the coronavirus lockdown.
