Yes I’ve seen there are several people reporting the same issue there but no useful responses as yet. Tbh the problem is obviously originating from bbPress (ie. it’s not formatting the links in the same way as it used to) but if/until a fix is forthcoming, I’m planning on seeing if I can find a work around myself.

Will post back here if anyone is interested…

HI @robin-w,

Done,
My Website bbpress now working perfectly

Thanks for the suggestion

[Young]

Hello.
First of all, thank you for developing such a great plugin program.
However, I would like to ask you a bit of trouble nowadays.
The issue is that the number of topics in forums index page are incorrect.

1. My system environment:
-Wordpress 5.3.2
-Bbpress 2.6.4
-Buddypress 5.1.2
-Bbpress Style pack 4.3.8
– Jetpack 8.1.1

2. My issue detail:
See captured image 1.
This is a page of Forums Index Main page.
(Sorry for not English, but I’ll try explain)
As you see the summary count number(left side) of each forum counts are incorrect with the parent forum’s count.

And in the parent forum index page,
each count of each line for forums are correct.
See captured image 2.

3. I tried to run recalculation.

I ran the recovery and recalculation tool. Though I have run it several times and it failed.
I am using some forums on a group page.
What is the problem?
In the past, it used well without any problems. There was no error in adding up posts. Recalculation also worked well.
Please let me know if you have a solution.
Thank you.

Does the social login available in the Jetpack plugin (Jetpack → Settings → Discussion then enable “Let readers use WordPress.com, Twitter, Facebook, or Google accounts to comment.”) allow for visitors to comment on bbPress topics? I’ve tried on my bbPress and I don’t see the Google, Facebook etc. options so wondering if it’s something on my side or that the Jetpack social login doesn’t work with bbPress.
Any advice appreciated.

[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

[Tanmoy Biswas]

I installed the bbPress plugin and activated the plugin, but my WordPress gives an error that the plugin is not activated.

Any suggestion?
What should I do now?
My Website here: https://wcblogs.com

Thanks in advance

@robin-w OK well… I’m pretty sure it’s arising from the file located in bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php where there is a function called function bbp_format_buddypress_notifications() which creates a link (which when clicked, automatically marks that particular notification as “read”).

From the quick test I’ve just run, it would appear that the link/string created in more recent versions of bbPress may not be correct but I’ll need to do some more investigation to work out how/why.

As far as I can tell, this is likely to be an issue for all Buddypress/bbPress users so I’m quite surprised it hasn’t been highlighted sooner.

[Nik]

If I can jump in here, I’m fairly sure I’m experiencing the same problem with Buddypress notifications eg. “You have one new reply to topic X”. Clicking on the link used to mark the notification as “Read” but this is no longer happening.

Currently using bbPress 2.6.4 and BuddyPress 5.1.2.

Downgrading to bbPress 2.5.14 (an old version that I happened to have installed elsewhere) certainly fixes the problem but will have to do further investigation to work out exactly which version this issue originally started occurring.

Either way, notifications are certainly not getting marked as read in version 2.6.4 when the link is clicked, although clicking on the “Mark Read” button still does.

Hello there,

I am new to bbpress and have some questions I would like to ask.

A little about the website I will be creating:
I am wanting to build a local forum for my town in which users can discuss anything related to the town, post jobs, events and advertise their businesses.

The community will mainly be free, but wondered if there are any plugins that allow me to charge users to post a thread in specific forums? I’m guessing there might be some sort of membership level plugin? If so, would the membership work on a per month basis, or per post basis?

Another idea I have is to create some sort of points system in which users gain.lose points on new threads, posts etc and then redeem these points or credits for physical goodies?

Also, in terms of themes, are there themes available for bbpress or would I need to design on top of the core installation?

I am very new, so will probably be needing a lot of help, but excited about building my community website 🙂

Thanks!

[hydrogriff]

This topic is an extension of this. When threaded topics are enabled in 2.6.x versions, we are unable to reply threaded like before.

And also, the oldest issue is still unresolved – It has been years and no paginations for threaded replies yet.

Can we expect a patch for the former issue in the next release?

[Robin W]

1. which version of bbpress
2. what do you mean by notifications? – that is not a bbress phrase, do you mean notify on the topic/reply form?
3. so in addition to bbpress what other bbpress related plugins are you using ?

[jovmbbuzz]

Good day!

I have updated the bbpress plugin on the site and the automatic marking of notifications as read, once the link is clicked, seems gone. I have reverted back to the previous version to make this work.

Can you kindly advise for a solution to make it work for the new version of the plugin? I would be a hassle to click on the read link to clear up notifications. By the way, it only happens when logged in to Safari.

Please advise. Thank you!

Hi there,

i am quite new to wordpress\bbpress but i already looked at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-extract-a-topicreply-excerpt/

What i want to create is this.

[bigskyry]

We have a fairly sizable install of bbpress at backpackinglight.com/forums.

We upgraded to the newest version of 2.6.x last week, and are noticing two very significant negative impacts:

The time between hitting the “post” button on a new post, and waiting for the post query to finish, has tripled. When the site is busy, it now takes more than 30 seconds.

As such, users are hitting the button twice which results in double posting.

Is there anything we can do to optimize these queries to improve performance?

[pics11]

I am using bbpress and buddypress.

I created a group and created a forum with buddypress.

Creating a topic in a forum looks like this:

https://demo.com/groups/demogroup/forum/topic/〇〇〇

I want this part to be an arbitrary number or “id”.

Example:
https://demo.com/groups/demogroup/forum/topic/12345

How do I fix it?

Thank you in advance.

[hydrogriff]

The current support bbPress has a neat theme. It will be helpful if we can refer it for the best practices and customization. I searched and could not find the source code for the forum’s theme or WordPress’s support theme. Where to find it? Is it open source?

[hydrogriff]

My bbPress installation is customized a little and has subscribe and favourite buttons in a different place. Since 2.6 extra favourite and subscribe links are appearing in the lead topic header. Is there a way to remove the default ones and keep the ones generated by <?php bbp_topic_favorite_link();?> and <?php bbp_topic_subscription_link(); ?>?

[theicebooky]

I use User Role Editor to allow subscriber to add Forums. Then, I put the Forum creating shortcode on a page.

I’m using bbpress not buddypress.

However, I want to restrict the Topic creator to only be able to create a Topic inside of the Forum they created. Is there a way to do that?? Thanks!!

[Chuckie]

You don’t have to manually moderate. You can switch off moderation for bbPress. There is a temporary plugin to do it. I have moderation switched off.

Up to you.

[Robin W]

ok, try this instead

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-info
			{
				font-size:  10px !important ;
			}
		 
			#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-topic-count{
				font-size: 10px !important ;
			}

			#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-reply-count{
				font-size:  10px !important ;

			}

			#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-freshness{
				font-size:  10px !important ;
			}

bbPress Notify (No Spam) plugin supports that out of the box.

[John]

I have inherited a bbPress installation that has an issue, which I am not sure is to do with how bbPress works out of the box, is a configuration setting, or is as a result of customisation.

When an email is sent notifying of a reply to a topic, the reply link in the email takes the user through to a page that only shows the reply with no link through to the topic that has been replied to.

The URL is of the form: https://mywebsite.com/forums/reply/46572/

and the template looks like this:

Is it possible to either:

1. Include a link in the template to go back to the topic, or,
2. Have the link that is sent out in the email go to the topic, but with an ID ref to the reply, in this example:
   https://mywebsite.com/forums/discussion/my-topic-slug/#post-46572

Are either of those possible, and if so how might I go about configuring bbPress appropriately?

TIA!

[mvaneijgen]

Sadly I had to publish my site with the old 2.5.x I’ve managed this by changing the version number of the plugin in bbpress.php and readme.txt to some insane version number which will never be hit in the near future.

I would still love some pointers on how to implement the pagination of treaded replies, which works with the hack for 2.5.x version of bbpress.

[Robin W]

no, that probably wasn’t the problem, if you had been on version 5.x then that might be the issue.

If php version doesn’t fix then 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

[agushardiman]

Hi @gingerngo, I don’t have Press Permit plugin but still have this isue. So it must be the bbpress itself.

Wonder if anybody here have found a solution?
