The only reason I can think of is that before the extra ranks were part of BBPress.php file and now they are in the child themes functions.php instead so maybe it’s not loading these roles in time?

[huetherb]

Here is what I needed to do:

add_filter( ‘bbp_register_topic_post_type’, ‘enable_restAPI_bbpress_topics’, 10,1);
function enable_restAPI_bbpress_topics ($args) {
$args[‘show_in_rest’] = true;
$args[‘supports’] = array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘author’ );
return $args;
}
Notice the supports variable. By including author that ensures post_author is set.

Seriously, BBPress should simply include a setting in backend to enable restAPI. That is the direction that the web is heading in already, with headless CMS, decoupling front and and backend.

With the recent WordPress and BBpress update I’ve run into an issue where all new posts are now being created as new posts, rather than threaded in replies, and I can’t figure out what’s wrong.

All my previous posts are still threaded correctly, just anything new is broken now. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, dropping all plugins and shifting to default themes.

Ideas for things to try? Or am I better off wiping and starting over..

Thanks everyone, I have now reported this as a error in 2.6.2

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3297#ticket

I’ll update when the bbpress authors take a look

[huetherb]

Hi, I am trying to use the wordpress restAPI to get topic data. I am trying to do so via

add_filter( ‘bbp_register_topic_post_type’, ‘enable_restAPI_bbpress_topics’, 10,1);
function enable_restAPI_bbpress_topics ($args) {
$args[‘show_in_rest’] = true;
return $args;
}

That is to enable some functionality in another plugin.

But for some reason, doing so causes the bbpress topic editor to alter behavior. It shows a different editor type.

Instead of normal editor which shows a title field and then a content area below, it shows a Gutenberg block for title and content.

But more importantly, when I submit a topic it gets saved with userid set to 0. The revision is saved with correct user id, but the post itself is saved with post_author 0.

Any idea what is going on?

Users with the Moderator will always be able to have access to all forums. That is the intended purpose of that role.

You will need to use a third-party add-on (like Restrict Content Pro or Paid Memberships Pro) to restrict access granularly.

Since bbPress 2.6.0, there are hooks and APIs that make it possible to build a very specific plugin to do exactly like what you describe here (using the Engagements API) but I’m afraid I will not have the ability to build that out until after the holidays. Happy to provide guidance to any other devs who are interested!

[Robin W]

if you are using bbpress 2.6.x there is a moderator setting in the forums part (right hand side in dashboard forum edit) where you list users who can moderate

[mvaneijgen]

I’m updating a forum at the moment and while starting working at it I’d opted out of using the 2.6 beta version, because when testing it the feature that I need most didn’t seem to work, pagination and nested replies.

I know this also was not supported on the older versions, but while searching for a solution I came across an article bbPress threaded (nested) replies & paging which fixed the issue for me and this didn’t seem to work on the newer 2.6 version.

I’ve found some threads on this, but they haven’t been updated in some time.

• https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/feature-request-pagination-for-threaded-comments/
• https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3201

Is there any news on this? My site isn’t going live for some time, but if I know it isn’t on the road map I’ll have to take some measures to fix the issue for this particular site.

Hi @wout77!

So running in a clean environment with no other plugins, etc, I don’t actually see the same thing.

The login widget provided by bbPress is really just a simple (but customizable) wrapper around WordPress’s regular login process. Though you may not realize it, the username and password fields are simply passed to wp-login.php (and the reason you may not notice this is that a redirect is performed to take the successfully logged in user back to whatever page they started on).

With that in mind…my hunch is that this is not a problem with bbPress, but rather with another plugin (or perhaps even your theme).

If you are unsure what’s causing this and there are no obvious sources of the problem (such as a Captcha plugin), it could be worth doing a round of selective deactivation of other plugins and/or your theme to try and find out what’s causing this. Make sense?

[Robin W]

both are just a ‘post parent’ in the posts table. For bbpress the only difference is that categories don’t get topics, whereas forums do !

[tfruba]

Hello All!

I’m building a new website for my kid’s school and it’s fitted with bbpress forum engine.

There’ll be three forums in general:
– for parents,
– for teachers
– for administration

What I’m trying to achieve is to give an access to the forums based on roles. I’ve created a three roles:
– parent
– teacher
– admin
And, until the user is assigned with only one of those roles – everything works great.

The problem is when I assign a “Moderator” role to one of the users – they get an access to all three forums, instead of only the one that comes with base role. So, what I’d like to do is to restrict, that user with roles “teacher” and “parent” can’t have an access to the administration forum, unsless he/she also has a “admin” role assigned.

Is this doable?

Thank you in advance and best regards
Tom

bbpress 2.6 has changed the way that forums are displayed. If you have a hidden forum, then set it to a group that is not used (if needbe create a further group, but assign n o users to it), and it will not be displayed.

[brandaoj]

Hi all,

I have updated bbPress to version 2.6.2 and after that [bbp-forum-index] does not show the full list of forums.

The list of forums includes private and public ones and as strange as it seems the ones that are missing are one of the private one (the last in the forum list order). The forum itself is configured exactly the same away as the other one which is listed/showed perfectly.

Any idea of what can be wrong and where to look at?
Thanks in advance,
Joao

[J.Parra]

Thanks for your quick response.

I have included this in my css file of the child theme.

# bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum .bbp-forum-title {
float: none! important;
}

Would it be a correct solution?

What is strange to me is that my theme includes this concrete for bbbress and that it breaks the site when it has always worked well.

Anyway, solved, thank you very much.

[wout77]

I have a sidebar active on all forum pages with the BBpress login widget in it. However, when you enter your username and password, you first get redirected to an extra captcha screen where you have to check you are not a robot. While that is fine for security reasons, after you check that box, you get redirected to the standard WordPress login screen where you have to enter your username and password a second time! And that feels very confusing for the users.

So the question is: how can I eliminate that second step… is this a known issue maybe? Or am I missing a setting somewhere?

If anybody in the hivemind has a suggestion, I’m all ears 🙂 thanks!

The site is running all the latest versions, by the way.

[John James Jacoby]

Looks like an issue with the CSS in the theme:

https://www.racingonlineclub.com/wp-content/themes/sportcenter/css/leaf-bbpress.css?ver=5.3

Line 741: float: left;

Remove the float, and everything snugs back up nicely, and the div below the title stops overlapping it.

I am having the same problem. On my forum index page, the freshness has been wrong for a week since the last upgrade to bbpress 2.6.2. (Never a problem before then.) I have only one index page, then topic pages (where the freshness is correct). I did have WP Supercache on the site, but removed it 4 days ago, including all the extra steps to remove any remaining cache files outside the plugin. The freshness is still incorrect and lags by several days, even with clearing the browser cache, or trying an in-private browsing page. I have also been in touch with my host (Siteground) and they cannot find an issue. They asked me to deactivate all my plugins – which I did, on a staging site – and still, no, it seems to be just the bbpress upgrade. Help! Any more suggestions?

I am trying to import from an old phpbb forum to bbpress using the tool. I run it with row limit 1000, I have used 100 and it worked with the database. The problem is that it turns every post into a reply. They are in the same folder when importing from the phpbb database. Also it does not recognize the forums folder.

The forum folder is named: phpbb_3forums and the folder that contains both posts and replies is:phpbb_3posts. So I dont know why the forums don’t get recognized and why posts and replies get clumped up together.

This was not the problem in the last version. Last time I was just getting timed out but the Forums worked and pulled about 5k posts and the parents were done right. I have tried running the repair tools but doesn’t work.

I have read this topic:

Issues inserting/embedding videos

But when I insert the “bbpress shortcodes” there are two problems:

1/ The new setting does not show on my TinyMCE Advanced toolbar
2/ Going to their support forum results in an invalid domain

According to TinyMCE the [video] shortcode it support to render as a video. But when I paste it I just get the text. Now, I tried adding the functions.php to return video(...) but I got the same error for video being unknown.

So I am abit stuck.

I was hoping to use the dedicated TinyMCE “Video” but that only works for admin and I have no solution about the frustrating escaping of the chevrons. Thus I am looking at this video shortcode as an alternative.

Hi community, I have a problem with bbpress

After the upgrade to bbpress 2.6.2 the links of the titles of both topics and forums do not work.

For example in: https://www.racingonlineclub.com/foros/

The first title don’t link to forum “Ayuda y preguntas Frecuentes”

Instead the html code seems correct in the inspector

<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="https://www.racingonlineclub.com/foros/foro/ayuda-y-preguntas-frecuentes/">Ayuda y preguntas frecuentes</a>

Thanks for your help and regards.

WP 4.9.4

PHP version 7.2.7
bbPress Version 2.6.2

Topic Title: http://forums.typeheritage.com/topic/tangier/

I want topic titles to match page titles—green, not orange. I am semi-clueless about coding but have tried a few ideas that don’t work.

Can someone suggest a css entry to solve this problem?

Many thanks, Anna

Hi,
I know the main WP code is now adding the new Google link tag of UGC to links in comments – could BBPress be amended to allow an option of automatically adding this UGC tag to all external links?

Thanks,
Dale.

Good afternoon. I hope you can understand me, my English is not very good, I’m from Spain

We use the BBPRESS plugin on our website, and we have a problem with the display of the forums’ root.

The actual date of the last post is not shown in the forum root.

Example that I enclose with screenshots:

At the root of the forum, “CEx – Fire protection” appears on debate last published 1 week and 4 days ago (img1), but when you enter the debate, you can see which last post was 22 hours ago (img2 )

Why might this be happening and how can we solve it?

Thank you

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

transfer this to your pc and edit

change line 31 from

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() ) : ?>

to

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

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-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
