@packzap the plugin linked in this thread will fix issue until bbpress’s next release is ready and that should fix it and assume the plugin will no longer be needed.

Yes, the front page of my forum “last post” dates are looking very stale since moving to bbPress 2.6.3. The post dates look to be prior to the “upgrade”. I do not have any page caching plug-ins enabled on these public forums. Manually running “recalculate last activity in each topic and forum” updates the freshness dates correctly.

Hello all, I’m using bbpress 2.6.3 with the last version of wp5. I defined some mime types I need on the site, eg the extension .nvn. I noticed that Participants cannot upload these newly defined mime types, why?
Keymasters do it without any problem. When a participant tries, he gets the error “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons” as it was not permitted. Please help

I am trying to display an image within the content area of a topic,
as illustrated in this image…

I am using bbpress 2.6.3 and WordPress 5.3.2.

Please help.
Thanks

Forum roles are added by site admin for access to private forums. Users with participant role get the 404 “Oh, bother” message when they try to log into page containing short code : [bbpress forum-index]. I have tested with all other roles and they access the forums as expected. This issue has been identified with new participants being added to the forums. I am not sure if all prior participants are experiencing the same issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

bbpress just uses WordPress login, so suggest you investigate authentication of WordPress

google around – I got

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/268665/set-up-wp-authentication-from-external-api

from a google of ‘wordpress login using 3rd party credentials’

[thecraneadmin]

I am still waiting for an answer. Anyone??? Any ideas?? I realize that bbPress always call the core wp-login.php to login, register or reset your password. I know that I can probably add code to wp-login.php but that would be a very bad thing to do as it is a core file and any updates to WP will overwrite your changes. I need a way to intercept the call from bbPress to wp-login.php.

Thanks,
J

I’m also planing to move from Kunean 5 to bbPress. Please share info if you do know migrate tool for this.

Hello!

I’m not sure, whether I have the same issue or a different one. I have simple forum structure with a forum list and every forum has a topic list. You may take a look at my forum list.

The features

• You don’t need to log in to read.
• The first forum is read-only for all users except the admin.
• Anyone can register and gets write-permission to all forums except the first one (Loginizer and Akismet in use).
• The forum with most topics gets its topics from posts by the plugin “bbPress Topics for Posts“. Despite being old the plugin has worked flawlessly until the most recent update

The issue

• Some of the forums have kept displaying “juuri nyt” (just now) since the update, because some of their topics show the same freshness.

What I have tried

• recalculated everything
• disabled the plugin “bbPress Topics for Posts” and recalculated everything
• changed to the Twenty Twenty theme and recalculated everything

but in vain. Is this caused/related by the bug #3297? Any pointers appreciated.

[Jason Dao]

I’m a newbie, so please be kind. Is it correct that plugins (except ecommerce ones) are not available for wordpress.com sites? Is there any way to install bbpress onto a wordpress.com website?

Thanks.

Hi All,

Is there a way to re-direct users that are logged in and land on the bbpress home location e.g /chat/ and re-direct them to a specific forum.

E.g, logged in users visits mysite.com/chat, and it redirects them to mysite.com/chat/forum/support.

i am using the code below found in the bbpress forums which re-directs guest to another page. It works great.

/**
* Redirect bbPress pages to registration page
*/
function kleo_page_template_redirect()
{
    //if not logged in and on a bp page except registration or activation
    if( ! is_user_logged_in() && is_bbpress() ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url( '/register/' ) );
        exit();
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'kleo_page_template_redirect' );

Hi All,

I am seeking a way to hide/disable the “Insert Link Button” for users in bbpress when creating a post.

Does anyone have a code snippet for this, or know of a way to achieve this?

Thank you

David

In all topics on my forum there is incorrect information: “This topic is empty.”

This problem is not only on my site:

bbPress Forum Anonymous Topic

How to fix it ?

[Tony]

Hello,

After some troubleshooting it appears the latest version of bbPress interfered with showing the subscribe button for individual topics. I confirmed it was there prior to the upgrade.

Please advise how to resolve the issue.

Thank you!

[sean913]

Fixed the issue I was having with this same error.

Whew… after lots of searching and turning plugins on and off, I found the conflict and it was actually just settings that were defaulted incorrectly the Ultimate Member plugin with it’s add-on Extension for BBPress (premium plugin from Ultimate Member extensions bundle).

The Ultimate Member BBPress extension has settings for every user role in the Ultimate Member > User Roles section, and in those settings it has permissions for BBPress that override BBPress settings. In those settings there are checkboxes for each permission, including posting replies, posting topics, etc. Customer roles, admin roles, and a bunch of other roles were for some reason defaulted to not allow these types of posts.

To fix Ultimate Member permission settings, go into each role and enable the features / permissions accordingly.

[Robin W]

not with css I’m afraid.

you will need to know how to transfer files to/from your site using ftp. If so then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

remove lines 32-35 ie

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_website"><?php esc_html_e( 'Website:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_website" value="<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>" size="40" maxlength="200" name="bbp_anonymous_website" />
		</p>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[mvaneijgen]

@johnjamesjacoby that sounds amazing! I’ve did some digging already, but I couldn’t find an easy fix to get it working again.

If you’ve some pointers to get the code from
Sven (https://wpup.co/bbpress-threaded-nested-replies-with-paging/) working with the latest version, I’ll gladly do some testing.

Hi,

I repaired forum but nothing was solved , I reset the froum and it solved the problem
but i need my forum data and as soon as i import them with wordpress as XML , again the error comes back!
what should i do now ? do you have any idea?

[Rodrigo]

Hi,

I’m creating a forum with bbPress in which I want to run only a forum/”room”, showing all the topics in the front page. I achieved that in settings, selecting that the forum root should show most recent topics.

On the front page, however, I wish any user could post new topics straight from a form. So, I opened content-archive-topics.php and add this line of code right after the topics’ loop:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

It worked like a charm, except only for admins. Participants (the role) are shown a message saying they aren’t allowed to post topics. On the other hand, when a participant enter the (only) forum page, the form appears working below the topics.

Any idea about how to fix this?

I would like to find a replicating the code snippets like on my posts in BBPress and have not found a solution.

[devsam]

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.

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

[ionisz]

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?
