Hi, I have installed the bbPress plugin, as I need a forum for visitors feedback. I have realised when creating a topic as a new user that the fields to fill are not showing when typing except for the topic description itself. It seems it’s something to do with text being written in white? If one keeps writing and post the topic it shows when published.

I have looked into the plugin settings but cannot find anything to change this.

Any feedback would be greatly valued.

Importing an old installation of bbpress1 into bbpress last version plugin, i’m getting stuck at step 11 with this loop:

11.Calculating closed topics (500 through 500 of 500)100%
11.Calculating closed topics (500 through 500 of 500)100%

Is these important to run after upgrading bbpress to 2.6-2.62-2.63 or dont matter much?
Remove favorites from user-meta
Remove topic subscriptions from user-meta
Remove forum subscriptions from user-meta

[John James Jacoby]

Is it possible that when you updated to 2.6 you ignored the Upgrade routines?

If so, you may want to try reinstalling bbPress 2.6.3, as a last minute fix went in after it was originally packaged.

https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6.3.zip

If I’m correct, then you will also want to consider running the database upgrades soon. Forums with over 10k users need to do it manually, in your Admin > Tools > Forums > Upgrades

I upgraded to version 2.6.3, and have received a warning that a page in BBPress is not in sync with the “official” release. The page in question is wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/engagements.php. When I compare old and new versions of the page, the old actually looks better than the new one does! How do I re-install to make sure that I have the “official” release?

[John James Jacoby]

This should get worked on, but because bbPress does not use TinyMCE by default, and because image uploads are not enabled by default, it is likely to be a low priority fix.

Created https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3304.

[Scaffies]

Here is maybe a better example – the matter remains unresolved.

after the 2.6.2/2.6.3 upgrade these issues came up:

– the “Favorite” option is now on the left, instead of being in front of the “Subscribe” option on the right

– the content of the topic is now limited to the space until the options (Edit, CLose, Stick, etc) start, reducing the content with to about 50% for admins (as shown below), and reduced by about 20% for regular members with fewer options.

The high-resolution picture in the example below should fill in the entire content area to its full width (but only shows half-size).

Since this started with the upgrade, it is reasonable to assume it is directly related to bbpress.

A solution would be really (!) helpful.

We use the DynamiX theme (since over 6 years), now in version 5.
Wordpress and all plugins in their current versions.

Thanks!!

Custom Field doesn’t work with bbpress 2.6 and above
I use custom fields for bbpress topics.
I tried to turn off all plugins and change the theme to default but always receive next javascript error in the console:

thanks for your response!

What is there to check in the theme, if the widget display changed with the 2.6.x releases (we are on 2.6.3)?

Specifically, it is the “(bbpress) Recent Topics” and “(bbpress) Recent Replies” widgets, in which it occurs – only. All other widgets in use display avatar and DisplayName correctly with spacing.

Hope this helps.

[John James Jacoby]

With or without the adminbar, this should still work.

This was reported earlier and fixed in bbPress 2.6.3.

[John James Jacoby]

Some fixes did go into hierarchical replies in the latest versions, just not regarding pagination. I’m hoping to look more into this for bbPress 2.7.

Hi,
I was asked to add a forum to our corporate website using bbPress. Based on what I have seen so far it is not hard or complicated to install, configure and use. However, the second part of the request has me stumped. The requirement is not to ask the user to create a new account but rather use the credentials they provided in a third party software to authentication. This third party software provides an API endpoint for authentication. So I need to send the username and password to the third party software to verify the user. If the API returns success then the user can use the forum.

I assume that a user account still needs to be created in WordPress for bbPress to tag the user’s name to his or her posts. Is this a correct assumption?

How can I implement this solution? Is there a plugin out there that I can use or can I write some modification to bbPress to achieve this task?

Here is the info you required.
WordPress: 5.3
bbPress: Version: 2.6.3
Website: https://www.craneresorts.com/

Regards,
J

[Robin W]

ok, I can only suggest 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,

Can we know how to create bb shortcode to hide portion content (text or URL) in the post or replies?

for example, only logged-in users can view some content/URL in the post/replies.

I saw lots articles to make this work in WordPress post, but could not find for Bbpress.

Please help.

thanks

[Scaffies]

In non-bbpress related user displays, the spacing works as before (if that makes any difference in the troubleshooting):

[jrv123]

replace bbpress 2.6.3 with bbpress 2.5.14.

Create a topic, then create a series of semi-random reply-to-reply, and look at the hierarchy that is displayed.

Change to bbpress 2.6.3, and try the same thing. Create a topic, then create a random series of reply-to-reply, and some of the reply-to-reply end up being interpreted as reply-to-topic.

the other thing i’ve noticed, bbp_insert_reply() is no longer being called.
In bbpress/includes/replies/functions.php, put exit(-1); at the topic the bbp_insert_reply() function, and you will notice that the function is NEVER called.

bbPress – Moderation Tools

still works as far as I know.

Hello,

My client wants to aprove ALL replies before they are posted. Is this possible with bbpress?
I saw a couple of plugins but they are abandoned

[Chuckie]

I have the GD Power Search plugin installed and raised a query here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/searching-is-broken/

They stated:

The bbPress search requires to have the search term/keyword present. As a workaround, right now, you can set the keyword to minus sign: -.

But I find that even that is not working on my site.

What are the expected rules for performing searches? With this extra form I can seach by author or tag etc but doesn’t seem quite right.

After updating 2.6.3, the following error occurs.

Notice: Undefined variable: topic_id in E:\xampp-2\htdocs\test\wp2\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\replies\template.php on line 456

[randrcomputers]

I am also seeing this problem. I added @ajtruckle code to my childs function.php and will see if it helps. frustrating as bbpress dont email admin about pending posts/topics or replies so hard to keep track. hope the code works until they get it sorted out.

[jrv123]

Wordpress 5.3, bbPress 2.6.3

When you create a reply to a reply, a “_bbp_reply_to” postmeta row is NOT created; so everything ends up being a reply to the main topic, as opposed to a reply to another reply.

Specifically the URL https://mywebsite.org/forums/topic/newest-topic/?bbp_reply_to=49888&_wpnonce=78c211457a#new-post

that initiates creation of the reply, the “bbp_reply_to=49888” part of the URL is not being assigned to the created reply’s metapost ‘_bbp_reply_to’ data row.

As a result, the hierarchical nature of replies is not reflected on the UI, nor in the database.

Hello,

Is there any function or something for the nickname field to take data from username field and possible to save the profile? I’ve tried everything but I can’t do it.
I don’t want users to be able to change their name at all times, but only administrators will be able to change it through the dashboard.

I am editing bbpress form-user-edit.php in my child-theme. But still got only ERROR: Please enter a nickname.

		<div>
			<label for="first_name"><?php esc_html_e( 'First Name', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'first_name', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="last_name"><?php esc_html_e( 'Last Name', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'last_name', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<input type="hidden" name="nickname" id="nickname" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $profileuser->user_login ); ?>" disabled="disabled" class="regular-text" />
		</div>

Thank you.
