so which of the methods in this link item 3 are you using?

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[thinlizzie]

Hi,

Spammers are able to add pingbacks to my forum even though this is disallowed (in blog settings). So they are not logged-in users who are adding spam comments to a topic, but they are externally able to “comment” on the forum itself.

My site is a dating site, so has a sub forum “Personals”

The URL takes the form …

domain/forums/forum/personals

They can add pingbacks to this “Personals” sub-forum which display below (ie. outside) the forum as, for example …

“3 Thoughts on Personals” :

Pingback: (spam link)
Pingback: (spam link)
Pingback: (spam link)

Any help would be appreciated in solving this.
It’s not a new issue, has been on my site for several years.

bbpress 2.6.9
wordpress 6.0.9
buddypress 10.6.4

Hi there,

Was there ever a fix found for this as I still have the depreciation warnings. I have tried both these plugins and neither work.

Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property BBP_Forums_Component::$members is deprecated in /website/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/loader.php on line 149

Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property BBP_Forums_Component::$activity is deprecated in /website/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/loader.php on line 153

Thank you in advance

[Robin W]

ok, not totally sure I understand.

so you are putting the actual topic_id in ?

eg

[bbp-single-topic id=265]

and not sure I understand what ‘it pulls the bbpress forum sidebar widget ‘ means – do you have a link to a live example?

[seeanimalswild]

Is this something that the poster can do? There is obviously an issue as the site grows if app links need to be made by me?

The idea, is bbpress forum one is similar to twitter in length – people can quickly add news or information they have discovery, then on bbpress forum 2 a user can link to some news or information from blog 1, and write a more detailed article on the ‘tweet length’ post.

I hope that makes sense – I’m very thankful for the above help, and it will help, but what I’m wanting is to give blog 2 the ability to automatically link to the post they are writing about in blog 1 – this would avoid the need for an administrator to go in later (if this becomes a popular feature, it could rapidly become a lot of work).

I hope this is something that is doable – i don’t yet have any i can go have a look at.

If it can do this (posters link, internally) then bbpress is more powerful than I realize

I want to show a single topic on my homepage, on top of the page.
When I use the shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] it pulls the bbpress forum sidebar widget as well. I am not sure if it’s incompatibility with the theme or normal behavior.

Is there PHP code I could use instead to pull a single topic? Maybe I could then use that to create a custom template for the homepage.

Thanks in advance

[Robin W]

ok, so that error tells you it is a problem with the plugin gd-topic-polls

'call to undefined method xxxx in ...public_html/wp-content/plugins/gd-topic-polls'

That plugin is not written by bbpress and

GD Topic Polls: plugin for WordPress and bbPress Forums

says that the free version it is no longer being maintained.

There is a paid version at

https://www.dev4press.com/plugins/gd-topic-polls/

and if you have bought that version, then you need to raise a support ticket with them.

If you have the free version, then if you want to continue to use this plugin, you would need to buy the paid version

Hello,

As suggested from the error shown
https://prnt.sc/aa0FBVqUR-XT

We have checked the error logs and get this error:
https://prnt.sc/Fim9WyQXj8Np

Do we have a way to share logins to the bbPress developers and to address this issue?

My website (www.seeanimalswild.com) is a blog giving news on the natural world and environment.

I am creating a short form forum with bbpress, to allow readers to add brief news summaries that might have been missed by the main blog.

What i am looking for, is the ability to link a readers brief news summery in bbpress, to an article on the subject, whether this is on the main blog, or on another long form forum on the website. Is this possible?

It seems simple, but it does require me to be able to add a link (or connect a link) to a post not made by me? Thank you for any help. I’ve included my website address, but the forum in question does not yet exist. It would also be useful, if someone writing a long form post on a forum, could link it to the brief summery themselves, but this may be to complex.

Thank you for your time and any help

When trying to post in the forums it goes to a critical error on website page:

replicated issue when creating a new topic on https://atparentingcommunity.com/forums/forum/create-a-thread-to-talk-to-natasha/
https://prnt.sc/5J7El7AltGIq

We found that an error was caused by the bbpress-addon-for-membermouse and bbPress plugins:

Can you please troubleshoot and see how to fix this issue.

Let me know if you need anything.

Hello @quantum_leap

First, sorry for tagging’ you out like this, but since this is an older post I thought it might be necessary. 🙂

I’m also running into the same issue. The only difference is that I’m not using forums within my groups – since this makes no sense for my setup. My users can use the main forum for their needs.

The groups have been setup from within the admin panel, so not sure if that has anything to say.

My issue is in this case not within groups, but within user profiles. The problem is exactly the same as Sky mentioned above. The pages are setup to show 15 per page and it only shows items on page 1 – even if I choose page 2, 3 and so on.

I tried setting up the 2 new files you mentioned above within my child theme, but this only echos out the “No topics found.” both in the top of the container – and in the bottom where the pagination normally is. The topics and replies are still shown within my theme, but now pagination is gone.

Any ideas on how to fix this? – I did troubleshoot different things, and I also can’t seem to figure out anywhere else this bug would be but bbPress.

Hope you’re able to help! – Thanks in advance!

Until the bbpress authors (basically WordPress who own bbpress) decide to support block themes, then style pack is the only way i have come across.

[bobjgarrett]

I have now got this working but for others that might find the problem it appears that this only works with the theme I have by copying the file “content-search.php” into a bbpress folder within a child theme.

Hi

I’m using BBPress with BuddyPress in a WordPress site with MicroOffice theme. We’ve notice recently that the BuddyPress Activity Feed is no longer updating when someone Favourites a Forum post inf BBPress. I’ve tried turning off all other plugins to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

[shaynald]

Hello,

On my latest site, the ‘Subscribe’ or ‘Unsubscribe’ button does not show on the Forum page while the Elementor Pro plugin is active.

This is true when my theme (a child theme of Total) is active. It is also true when the “Twenty Twenty” theme is active.

I have ruled out conflict with other plugins.

I am running the current versions of core, theme, and all plugins. The relevant pieces are:
WP Core: 6.6.2
Total, Parent Theme: 5.19
BBPress:2.6.11
Elementor:3.25.3
Elementor Pro: 3.25.2

Unfortunately I cannot share a link to the forum as it is behind a gateway.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

[deborahdavidson]

When I add a post to one of our forums (and press submit) it looks like it hasn’t uploaded but if you open another tab with the same forum in it – the new post is there. Do you know why this would be happening? It does mean that we sometimes get duplicate posts. We are also using MemberPress (if that’s relevant). Many thanks

WordPress version: 6.6.2
bbPress version: 2.6.11

Hi, enjoy your meal if you’re still in your kitchen :).
After exporting everything and doing a fresh install I installed WP then the theme then bbpress it was OK.
I then imported everything with the wordpress tool it’s OK.

[Robin W]

sorry, I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen trying to help others. bbpress is a free product and has no paid support, and we don’t access individual sites.

[titis14]

The test just allowed me to confirm that bbpress works with the theme. The production site has backups so if you have to break things to find the solution it’s not a problem it’s still under construction.

[kimis]

Hello, I would like to prevent the creation of a forum with an existing name on BBpress, I do use it on my wordpress project. The forum is create on the admin panel.

Thanks for your help

[Robin W]

sorry, how is this related to bbpress?

[bobjgarrett]

I am struggling with Search for my forum. The standard WP Search within my site works and includes results from the bbpress forums but only shows individual posts. I’d rather show links to the Topic, or at least have a link in the posts found to the topic.
So I tried to implement Search within the forum.
I tried using shortcode [bbp-search] but this changes nothing on the page. I tried the shortcode [bbp-search-form] on the page and got a search box but no matter what text I enter in there I only ever get the same single result which is the latest overall WP post, not a bbpress post.
I have set “Allow forum wide search” in settings.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi @daihlo,

I use bbPress with BuddyPress also. I’ve noticed that the people at “Buddy Dev”

https://buddydev.com/

are much more responsive than BuddyPress. I made a free account there and I’ve gotten a lot of good info from posting in their forums. They know about bbPress too. You might try them.

Hope that helps!

Mike

[Robin W]

It almost certainly can be fixed. bbpress works on over 100,000 sites. The issue is not bbpress itself, but most likely your theme or another plugin.

You have a paid theme, which may well be the issue (or may not) – I suggest you ask the theme authors to help you as you have paid for their product.

Hi, first time posting here…
Im launching a site using Buddypress and BBpress and have found an issue where buddypress groups offer a BBpress forum when created.

This is a great feature, and a key one I want to use, however…

If I create a group and do not choose to include a forum, that group automatically becomes associated with whichever is the first forum in my database.

There is also still a ‘forum’ tab on the group menu, which should lead nowhere as no forum was created for this group. But it leads to the first forum created.

Whats worse, is this particular forum is a paid members only group with privacy settings set to invited members only, hidden etc… and anyone in the group without a forum can enter it and read, even post as though they are a member.

I have tried disabling all other plugins, themes etc and the issue resides between Buddypress nad BBpress.

Had no luck posting on the buddpress support so trying here!

Please can someone look into this as it creates a privacy issue.
Many thanks 🙂
