Freshness doesn’t seem to update as quickly any more?

and in particular

bbp Refresh Last Active Time

[Editor Mike]

I have run all the tools and checked the cache.
At one point it appeared that the forum was reporting freshness based on the latest topic, not the latest reply.
But it is so all over the place, I am not sure that is the case anymore.

Here is a screen shot that shows a typical error.

Here is a link to the above forum:

https://www.thewargameswebsite.com/forums/forum/general-discussion-3/game-design/

The thing that baffles me, is that the freshness URL is correct.
So why is the bbpress forum itself not reflecting this?

https://www.thewargameswebsite.com/forums/view/topics-freshness/

Here is the site, please do have a look around in the various forums and you will see the freshness is a mess.

If anyone can help I will be very appreciative.

Hi Robin,
here we go: https://gtauscht.de/forums/

Thanks
Matthias

PS: Thanks for your plugins and your engagement for bbpress!

[Editor Mike]

I posted a topic about Freshness and thought it odd there had been no replies given how common freshness is an issue.

I came to see if anyone had replied and the topic is missing from the forums here?
I found it:
https://bbpress.org/?post_type=topic&p=208095

But it has been locked?

[Robin W]

It is that the name is so short that bbpress can fit it in the space

you could fix using

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author {
	width: 100px;
}

in the custom css area of your theme

Found it 😉
…/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php
About line 135 you can add some links…

<div class="bbp-logged-in">
<a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>" class="submit user-submit"><?php echo get_avatar( bbp_get_current_user_id(), '40' ); ?></a>
<h4><?php bbp_user_profile_link( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>

Hi,
I want to use the topics RSS feed to send out a newsletter in my email provider.
The problem is that at the moment the RSS feed is bringing in the entire contents of the topic post rather than just a summary.
I understand the BBPress RSS feeds are entirely separate to the main WP feeds and not affected by the reading setting of summary excerpt in the WP settings.
Is it possible to control the length in characters or words that go into the BBPress RSS feed?

Thanks,
Dale.

Hi there, I am facing layout issues on mobiles, desktop/tablet is OK, here are the pics:

<script async src=”//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

Could you please help me with this? I believe that it might be related to CSS setting or something.

BBpress is running on Divi theme, everything else is OK.

Thank you so much.

I would like to add some links to the bbpress login widget.
Can someone point me in the right direction.
I can not even find the code of the login widget in my bbpress plugin folder…?
Thanks
Matthias

[Robin W]

suggest if you haven’t updated or changed software that you contact your host provider

otherwise

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

Firstly great to be back here – my last post was 8 years back and it’s amazing to see the difference in the plugin – great job team!

I’m using 2.6.3 now on https://bffinder.ie/topics/ – a place for people to share their interests and find friends and using the bbpress private messages plugin too.

I can see there’s an issue with threaded replies and pagination but wondering if there’s an issue with the reply button.

When I click on reply the form does appear under the persons reply but it causes a page reload and then that reply form hides and user is brought to the standard reply form at the bottom.

Then if I click the exact same reply button again the reply form appears as normal.

[Robin W]

I’m just a bbpress user who helps out on support – I leave trac to the authors 🙂 🙂

[Michael]

Thanks! Did you see my other bug report?

BUG: BuddyPress activity update not working when editing topic or reply

[Robin W]

you can have as many moderators as you like.

If you want a person to moderate across all forums, then set their bbpress role to ‘moderator’ in their profile in the dashboard.

If you want them to only moderate a particular forum, then set that in dashboard>forums>edit forum on the right hand side

[Robin W]

thanks, I’ve logged a trac ticket o the authors will be aware

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3327#ticket

[Robin W]

if you enable subscriptions they could just subscribe to the forums

or presuming these people have a specific role (eg moderator) then

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

[Michael]

In bbpress 2.6.3 threaded replies only work if the WordPress adminbar is enabled. If it is disabled and you click a reply link of a lower level reply the page is reloaded which is not supposed happen. If you then post the reply, it is added at the end of the forum post and not after the corresponding reply.

The bug is in templates/js/reply.js line 109ff. If you remove the reference to the adminbar, threaded replies work properly.

The bug did not exist in bbpress 2.6.1.

I have a group of people who will moderate my forum. how many people can I put down as moderator for each forum, also how do I change the moderators? I have tried to change a couple of the moderators but the dashboard does not take the modification.

WP 5.3.2 , bbpress 2.6.3
I have set up a site with multiple forums, I have 5 people who will be answering questions on these forums. Is there any way that I can get these people notified by email when there has been a posting and which forum it is in?

[pkclub]

When translating the forum section on my website dictated by the bbpress plugin with locotranslate I noticed around 300 strings missing and saw this:
“One file can’t be matched to a known set of strings”
I did some digging around and found out that I need to manually configure it with configuration xml of bbpress. Nothing on google came up so I am posting here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I’m using buddypress + bbpress + ultimate member
I found that only avatar from ultimate member has been fetched, which is not what I want.
I think the ultimate member caused this bug but I need ultimate member to create login and register page.
Can I fetch buddypress avatar to show up in the bbpress forum without deleting ultimate member?
Thanks in advance!

Does the above code still work?

I tried to paste into my functions.php and don’t see any difference in breadcrumbs.

Jan 2020 – perhaps bbpress or wp code has changed?

[Robin W]

ok, still not quite sure what you are meaning, but suspect

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

and look at section 8 which talks about getting bbpress to use the template you want
