We are working on improving this for the next major release of bbPress. 👍

I only just noticed this. I don’t know if it is a bbp style pack issue as I am using that plugin for the style.

Look at this topic at the Favorite | Subscribe links:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5b9zxi8xhf9sdpw/issue-ok.png?dl=0

They look fine. But when I have a topic which has a longer title:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/i26c3tsv1mtx56c/issue-not-ok.png?dl=0

Visually it is appearing as:

It should be:

Is this a bbPress 2.6.x issue or a bbp style pack issue.

[Chuckie]

I am using the latest version of the forums 2.6.2 and associated bbp style pack plugin | forum template.

Today I was creating a topic and hit submit. At first I wondered what had happened because it didn’t seem to submit. I then eventually noticed (see image):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cxv5lwz2ya82hcy/bbPress-Error.png?dl=0

I assume that it must have scrolled to the top but this error message is just not standing out from the crowd. Any advice to get this error message more noticeable?

Thank you.

[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

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 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 hassle to click on the read link to clear up notifications.

Please advise. Thank you!

Nope. I did a virgin install to prove to myself that it was something about the bbPress plugin.

[jrv123]

Fresh install of WP5.2.4, bbPress 2.6.2, and “Basic” theme. (twentynineteen does not give ability to create replies-to-replies.
Goto Settings >> Forums then to “Reply Threading, Enable threaded (nested) replies XX
levels deep”
Set to have “Reply Threading w/ 10 levels deep” (any number will not work)
Create several topics, then create several replies to those topics.
Now create a reply to the first-level reply. Create several.
Now go to “wp_posts” table in the database, and you will see the “post_parent” columns on the nested replies all refer to the topic. (It’s impossible to create a reply-to-a-reply, even though the URL of create link gave a reference to the reply, and NOT the topic.)

So.. again issue is back. After letest update again getting below 404 error that “bbpress.min.css?ver=2.6.2” missing.

/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.min.css?ver=2.6.2

[Prima M]

Hy You can try this…

/* BBPress Fix Topic bbp-topic-form won’t show up properly on mobile */
@media (max-width:380px) and (min-width:320px) {
	#bbpress-forums .bbp-the-content-wrapper,
	#bbpress-forums #bbp_topic_title {
		width: 100%;
	}
}

Hi all,

is there any plugin for using emoticons in bbpress ?
Thanks

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.

[Skulldog]

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..

[Robin W]

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.
