If anyone out there needs to quickly do an emergency fix to their live site before updating to 2.6.11, here are the changed lines of code between 2.6.10 and 2.6.11:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7272

I’m not advocating for hacking on weird files on live sites, but I understand everyone’s situations are different, and thought maybe this could be helpful to see.

[John James Jacoby]

Apologies to everyone who was quick to install 2.6.10 and had a scare.

It has been a few years; I’m out of practice and botched it.

I backported the 2.6.11 fix to the 2.6.10 tag, so in the unlikely event anyone still downloads 2.6.10 it will not be broken like it was.

Go get 2.6.11 from: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress 💚

I have raised a trac ticket for this release which hopefully the authors will look at

The only thing I have in addition to bbpress is LearnPress Plugin that integrates with bbpress.

[PAbernathy]

I resolved mine by rolling back to a previous edition of bbpress. Clearly the bbpress update has issues and indeed caused 404 havoc on my website as well.

[PAbernathy]

I had the same issue….I freaking panicked. I had my host restore to yesterday’s backup. The bbpress update did the exact thing to my site…404 on Everything.

Hi,
Blog page, Buddypress and bbpress pages working normal.
404 error coming on Elementor pages for non logged in users of the site.
Logged in users however are able to access all the pages.

I see, some issue with the login system with this bbpress update.

Please help.

Hi Eusebiu,
I downgraded bbPress and all resumed.
Thank you.

[Eusebiu Oprinoiu]

You can get older versions from the Advanced page on WordPress.org.
You can find a dropdown with previous versions at the bottom of this page.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/advanced/

Once you download the version you want, upload the ZIP archive under Plugins > Add New.
You will be asked to overwrite the existing plugin. Click Yes, and you are back to normal.

[Eusebiu Oprinoiu]

I just did a test with the LearnDash integration addon disabled, and it made no difference.
The issue is caused by bbPress.

[Eusebiu Oprinoiu]

I’m not using any other addon for bbPress, but I do have LearnDash and their bbPress integration addon.

robin, do you know whats new in the bbpress 2.6.10 update?

There is no changelog…

[Robin W]

what other bbpress related plugins are you running?

[Eusebiu Oprinoiu]

Hello, Robin!

I tried all the steps you mentioned before opening this ticket.
I cleared both the page and object caches and resaved the permalink rules in case this was causing the 404 errors. (although permalink issues would cause problems regardless of the logged-in status)

In addition to the 404 errors, pages containing queries, like the Blog page or post-type archive pages, load as they should, with 200 OK status, but do not display any content. (the queries return null)

Reverting to bbPress 2.6.9 solves the issue.
And as I mentioned, this only happens for anonymous visitors. For administrators and logged-in users the pages work as expected.

[Eusebiu Oprinoiu]

After updating to bbPress 2.6.10, every single page returns a 404 error.
This only happens for logged-out users. For the users who are logged in, the website works as expected.

[OSCOWP]

there is a new update availeable but I don’t find any change logs

Does anyone has information about this new update?

[Robin W]

Otherwise it is doable but far beyond free help – as I say bbpress just uses wordpress registration so maybe contact a wordpress developer who can do some code for you.

I’m trying to get a default featured image to display using a filter of “post_thumbnail_id” in my child theme’s functions.php file. I’m able to add a default thumbnail for post_type of topic, but I’d like it to be a custom thumbnail based on the id, or name of the forum the topic is in. Here’s what I have so far:

function my_filter_thumbnail_id( $thumbnail_id, $post = null ) {
	if ( $post->post_type != 'topic' )
		return $thumbnail_id;
	
	$forumname = get_forum_name( $post->forum_id );
	if ( $forumname == "wellness")
		$thumbnail_id = 7091;

	return  $thumbnail_id;
}
add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_id', 'my_filter_thumbnail_id', 20, 5 );

The issue is, “get_forum_name(),” is an undefined function. I’m not looking to override the default functions of bbPress, just be able to access the forum_id or forum_name from my theme’s functions.php file. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

bbpress just uses wordpress registration.

Wordpress requires users to have an email address for various reasons, including password changing and resetting.

Whilst this is certainly achievable with code, I do not know of any plugin that allows this.

No-one sees the email address apart from WordPress admins and the user.

[tgothard]

Hello,
We are new to bbpress and are working on setting up our forums. We have some requirements and are unable to find a plugin to work for us:

1. We need to have a registration, but WITHOUT an email. We just want a username and password.
2. Moderator must approve all registrations.

Hoping someone can help us with this!
Thanks,
Theresa

I found it on a bbpress support discussion because I only wanted you to keep the modify, edit and trash links. But the link to edit never worked, before or after adding this code

[Dean Scott]

I’m looking directly at wp_posts table. post_parent key has matching values to post_type records (topics, replies) and verified by your code returning zero for any mismatches.

I’ve also added a copy of my theme’s page.php (parent = Kyma, child = Frontech), renamed it bbpress.php, and put it in both parent and child root theme folders (unaltered, because there’s nothing in the theme interfering with the layout and placement of BBP). No change.

[Dean Scott]

I just discovered more at the end of the PHP error…

LIMIT 0, 15 made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), apply_filters(‘template_include’), WP_Hook->apply_filters, bbp_template_include, apply_filters(‘bbp_template_include’), WP_Hook->apply_filters, bbp_template_include_theme_compat, BBP_Shortcodes->display_topic, bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require(‘/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php’), bbp_has_replies, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts

Is this helpful?

Yes, I’ve switched to 2024 theme AND deactivated all plugs, one-by-one. Same error.
