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.

sorry, we only fix bbpress issues 🙂

Hi again Robin,

Trying my luck now as it’s no longer for the bbpress part of the page but I’m facing a similar issue with a post carousel I have.

I tried editing the css code you provided me but with no luck.

Any suggestion?

Thank you,
Kev

Hi
I have the following trouble with the ‘Hello’ theme :
The bbPress root ‘forums’ isn’t displayed correctly with Hello although it’s ok with ‘twenty twenty’.

[jemar707]

Thank you! I sent some love through PP on your website for all your work! Hoping I can take this and make it work for topics too.

I tagged you in an old separate topic if you have any solutions for my replies problem on the front end:

Redirection when newest replies are at the top.

[Robin W]

basically bbpress has the ability to add columns via a filter

This should do it

add_filter("bbp_admin_replies_column_headers", 'rew_IP_column_add');
add_filter("manage_reply_posts_custom_column", 'rew_IP_column_value', 10, 3);

function rew_IP_column_add($columns)  {
	$new = array();
  foreach($columns as $key => $title) {
    if ($key=='bbp_reply_forum') // Put the forum ID column before the Replies forum column
      $new['rew_id'] = 'IP Address';
    $new[$key] = $title;
  }
  return $new;
}
	
function rew_IP_column_value($column_name, $id) {
		if ($column_name == 'rew_id') echo get_post_meta( $id, '_bbp_author_ip', true );
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

I found this code and can now show five popular entries on my frontpage 🙂
// Top five of bbpress on startpage
function rk_top_five_view() {
bbp_register_view( ‘top-five’, __( ‘5 Most Popular Topics’ ), array(
‘meta_key’ => ‘_bbp_reply_count’,
‘posts_per_page’ => ‘5’ ,
‘ max_num_pages’ => ‘1’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’ ),
false );
}

add_action( ‘bbp_register_views’, ‘rk_top_five_view’ );

Thanks
Matthias

Wow, this really solves the issue with Visual Editor content styling. Thank you very much!

unction bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = array( 
            'content_css' => '/wp-content/themes/mytheme/css/tinymce-editor.css',
        );
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

How to add this to: https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/ ?

[Robin W]

not certain this will work, but put this in the custom css area of your theme

#bbpress-forums ul li::before {
content : none !important ;
}

Hi there,

New to bbpress plugin and we’re busy setting it up. Upon installation we noticed that some icons are rendering in the forum which I quickly found out shouldn’t be there.

Any one that know how to remove these orange icons from the forum part?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 4);
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 4); 

not work bbpress 2.6.4

is there any new code?

[Robin W]

registration is a function of WordPress, not bbpress.

you can switch it off using

Disable New User Notification Emails

[Robin W]

ok, can you list them here and I raise a ticket for you – I’m not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out on here.

[Robin W]

ok, you should only receive bbpress emails when you create a topic or respond to a reply, and tick the ‘Notify me of follow-up replies via email’ like the one below the reply box on this thread.

can you specify a couple of examples of what you are getting ?

[mrmut]

1. No additional plugins, vanilla bbPress
2. if you mean in the front end, then no, I just created a form
3. no

This is just a simple forum for about 20-30 local guys to chat and joke around.

(I like the avatar BTW)

[Robin W]

bbpress only send out emails you ask it to !!

1. are you using additional bbpress related plugins?
2. are you subscribed to forums?
3. are you using buddypress?

[Robin W]

your best bet would be to raise a trac ticket with a list of missing labels

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

[Robin W]

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

Hi,

I’m currently testing bbPress (with the default plugin templates/themes) and have noticed that a number of inputs do not have labels associated with them. I run a number of sites that require we meet a standard of WCAG 2.1 AA.

Is this something that is likely to be amended in upcoming versions?

And does anyone have any advice regarding making bbPress compliant?

Thanks
Laura

[bigskyry]

@suranodsk yes, we’ve been through quite a lot of analysis.

The primary issue is that the new post select and post write queries are taking about 3x longer on 2.6 than on the latest previous version of 2.5.x, and we’re trying to figure out why.

We’ve run extensive new relic tests and it has isolated the specific queries as the culprit. Otherwise, there’s no other issues with our host or our site that is causing the slow query times.

So, there’s something in the new 2.6.x bbpress query engine that seems to be less efficient for large databases than in the 2.5.x query engine.

Sure, we can toss a bunch of server resources, PHP workers, and REDIS at it, but that doesn’t really fit into the bbpress “light and simple” ethos. Lots of performance improvements promised, but when the rubber met the road…

We’d rather figure out what’s going on structurally with bbPress 2.6 vs. 2.5 than just give up and downgrade to 2.5.

[mrmut]

I created a BBpress site, but now I am being plagued by emails of forum activity.

As I am just an admin, is there a way to set BBPress to send emails of forum activities, registrations and such to another, separate email address and leave me in piece? 🙂

Thanks

[BrokenPixel]

I’m never quite sure if I should add to a post that has the same problem, but is obviously unanswered for a long while, or post a new topic. But… our forum also has a very similar issue so it seems sensible to add it here.

For us, it seems to be specific to text-align (left, right or centre) and for “non-admin” logged in users.

It displays the html code as is, rather than using it to display the correct text alignment. All other html options in the visual editor we’ve tested so far seem to work – it’s just the text alignment that doesn’t. And only for non-admin users – the html works as it should if an admin user posts.

<p style=”text-align: right;”>right align</p>

Hoping for a solution? Am on current versions of bbpress, wordpress and bbp style pack and php version 7.3

[Nik]

@robin-w Thank you and yes… I was already considering something similar as a temporary fix, although hopefully it’s something bbPress will address at some stage soon as it’s clearly an issue that will be causing problems for a lot of users…

[Robin W]

so you couldput this in your functions file of your child theme, it takes out then new filter and puts back the old one

remove_filter( 'bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'bbp_format_buddypress_notifications', 10, 8 );
add_filter( 'bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'rew_format_buddypress_notifications', 10, 5 );

function rew_format_buddypress_notifications( $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string' ) {

	// New reply notifications
	if ( 'bbp_new_reply' === $action ) {
		$topic_id    = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $item_id );
		$topic_title = bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id );
		$topic_link  = wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'bbp_mark_read', 'topic_id' => $topic_id ), bbp_get_reply_url( $item_id ) ), 'bbp_mark_topic_' . $topic_id );
		$title_attr  = __( 'Topic Replies', 'bbpress' );

		if ( (int) $total_items > 1 ) {
			$text   = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new replies', 'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items );
			$filter = 'bbp_multiple_new_subscription_notification';
		} else {
			if ( !empty( $secondary_item_id ) ) {
				$text = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new reply to %2$s from %3$s', 'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items, $topic_title, bp_core_get_user_displayname( $secondary_item_id ) );
			} else {
				$text = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new reply to %s',             'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items, $topic_title );
			}
			$filter = 'bbp_single_new_subscription_notification';
		}

		// WordPress Toolbar
		if ( 'string' === $format ) {
			$return = apply_filters( $filter, '<a href="' . esc_url( $topic_link ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title_attr ) . '">' . esc_html( $text ) . '</a>', (int) $total_items, $text, $topic_link );

		// Deprecated BuddyBar
		} else {
			$return = apply_filters( $filter, array(
				'text' => $text,
				'link' => $topic_link
			), $topic_link, (int) $total_items, $text, $topic_title );
		}

		do_action( 'bbp_format_buddypress_notifications', $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items );

		return $return;
	}
}
