Hi @robin-w

1/ Yes, moderation is switched off. Since the “links” might potentially include any type of item that has a URL in it I did not see it practical to just increase the number of links. So moderation has been switched off for several days now:

// ==============================================================
// Switch off bbPress Forum moderation
add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );
// ==============================================================

2/ It is never random. It is on the demand. Every reply to a topic I made yesterday needed me to run the tool to fix everything.

I am assuming that there is breakage in rolling freshness results back up the hierarchy.

[Robin W]

@ajtruckle yes the post meta table – glad you found it.
interesting that it set the last active to the topic date in all three settings, as thugh no reply had been set.

ok we seem to have issues with moderation and freshness and this post also seems to be an issue.

Notification is showing latest update for unapproved replies

1. can you confirm you now have moderation turned off ?

and
2. having run the correction, can you replicate the issue, ie make it happen again or does it just randomly do so?

[Chuckie]

I still have a bug with the inserting of videos. If I am creating the topic / reply as an ADMIn then the code is correct:

<video controls="controls" width="300" height="150">
<source src="https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/videos/forum/pts-test-video.mp4" type="video/mp4" /></video>

When you hit SUBMIT the video can be played etc.

But when you are NON-ADMIN and hit SUBMIT the outer chevrons of the inner SOURCE tag get escaped. I don’t know where this issue lies:

– WordPress 5.3?
– TinyMCE Insert Media Plugin 4.9.6 ?
– bbPress 2.6.2?

This topic is a duplicate of:

Extra tags to add to list for videos

And:

Any way to remove moderation ?

Closing this one.

Hello !

After a backup recovery of my website, all the emojis used in pages / post / forums were transformed into ????

So, I could correct my posts and pages because the “????” where only a few, but on my forums, they are too many, so I just want to replace the “????” with ” ” so that we don’t get bothered by this issue.

So : Do you know a way to search / replace text in all bbpress topics & replies ?

I have been trying with the plugin Word Replacer, but it doesn’t remove the “????” in database and need to always be running to make the replacement which I want to avoid (I just want to edit all of those ???? and save that change forever).

Do you know other plugin/alternatives I could use to remove those “????” (or make my emojis come back again, which would be awesome 😀 ) !

Thank you for your help !

The number of posts or users isn’t a problem. We have 11million users and millions of posts across multiple WordPress installations sharing the same user base. Like any web based application, the software will scale up to whatever hardware it’s running on, or choke on whatever it’s missing.

Posting links to images and videos is very easy, but if you want users to be able to upload them, you’ll need some way to elegantly allow for that. WordPress can handle it, but you’ll likely want to customize this experience.

Concurrent users and other metrics will all come down to server hardware, configuration, and ongoing maintenance. bbPress doesn’t really care how many users there are or how many page views happen.

bbPress does not come with any internal reporting. It adds some statistics to the WordPress Dashboard, and that’s it. Intentionally simple.

(There is a lot of data available in the database, and I’ve no doubt that really awesome reporting and charts and conclusions could be drawn from them, but there is nothing built-in to expose it.)

bbPress does include a very robust importer and forum-conversion tool, that we’ve successfully used for years to help hundreds of thousands of sites migrate millions of posts. Some folks have contributed their converters back up into bbPress, but most of them were made by community members who did the work to match all the data points together.

We’ve used the built-in converter here ourselves to go from bbPress1 to bbPress2; the same one that’s included with bbPress itself.

Switching forum platforms is risky. It’s a lot of work. It’s likely that some community members won’t like the new software. It never goes 100% without some kind of hitch. But… we’ve done an immense amount of work over 15 years to try and make bbPress the kind of software that makes that transition as easy and painless as it can possibly be.

I hope you’ll give it a try. We’ll be here if you have more questions. 🤝

That’s a thought…

I gave up on this plugin a few years ago — it didn’t seem to do anything for me. Still doesn’t, unfortunately. There’s no difference with or without Genesis Extend.

Deactivating all of my other plugins doesn’t seem to help, either.

I’ve also tried copying css/bbpress.css to other themes, including the Genesis Sample and WordPress 2020. Both of these themes require bbpress.min.css, at least on my development server.

I’m using WordPress 5.3, bbPress 2.6.2.

[Robin W]

presume you are running

bbPress Genesis Extend

[Robin W]

each capcha would be specific.

Do you want to pick one that works when logged in but not when logged out, and I’ll spend 15 mins seeing if it can easily be overcome.

what version of bbpress are you using?

[Clivesmith]

I have tried to sort this out as well without any luck, I have tried other themes as well, it is the same on bbpress 2.5.14 which I am still using because subforums has not been sorted yet.

Hi there!

I’m trying to get a bbpress forum set up on my site, and while we’ve got the majority of it set up the way we’d like, there’s an issue when someone tries to access the forum via mobile/smartphone.

The reply box seems to overflow over the edge of the screen, such as in this picture:

I tried to adjust the width of the bbpress-topic-form using the Custom CSS on my theme, but while this seems to work for narrow browser windows on desktop, the mobile view remains the same as it does in the picture above.

For reference, this was the code I was trying:

@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  #new-topic-0.bbp-topic-form{
    width: 50%;
  }
}

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what might be going on here? I’m running the Gridmag theme (not pro) at the minute, could that be causing a conflict?

@maksanse
Translation of bbPress 2.6.x is being updated. Hopefully by next weekend all is done.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
If you go on https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/bbpress+captcha/ it seems lots of them offer bbPress compatibility.

[Pascal Casier]

@cantoostinato8989 the theme used here can be found on:
https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bbpress-org

[lflier]

Thanks for the 2.6.2 update, which attempts to address this issue.

Unfortunately, it’s not working in my theme. I still require bbpress.min.css.

I’m running a custom theme under Genesis 3.2.1. I’m pretty sure I’m following the instructions for theme compatibility. The css file is in a folder labeled “css” in the theme root.

This does not appear to be a cache issue. The appearance of the page changes when I switch back and forth.

I’ve reproduced this bug on a LocalbyFlywheel development site and a live staging site.

I’ll monitor this thread. Let me know what else you’d like me to try.

[Pascal Casier]

@kent25 It’s not because things are not in the basic code that you cannot do it. bbPress is very flexible and open to extensions. See the response in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-fix-old-topic-moving-to-first-topic-when-a-reply-is-made/

[Chuckie]

Add this to your child theme functions.php or use a snippet plugin:

// ==============================================================
// Switch off bbPress Forum moderation
add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );
// ==============================================================

[kent25]

yes same here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-fix-old-topic-moving-to-first-topic-when-a-reply-is-made/
pls @corypina where did you move to, i meant as well join you. i think even the creator cant solve this

[kent25]

it didnt for me? how to fix old topic moving to first topic when a reply is made

[kent25]

Am really new to bbpress, How do i fix an old topic becoming a first topic when a member makes a reply on it?

i my forum, there are different topics made by members, on daily bases but i found out that when a new member replies to an old topic, that topic automatically moves to the top of other new topics…
this is a pain. pls is there a code to stop this, i don’t need plugins for it.

[John James Jacoby]

As a logged out user, I can’t see any problem with pagination in your 4 topics.

There is a general bbPress bug, that nobody should ever really see, where pagination pages beyond the actual number of pages, will not 404 the way it should. But because bbPress never links to them anywhere, someone would have to manually type the URL wrong to see it.

Any other guidance you can give will be great!

[Steven Jones]

As per the title bbPress is slow in admin. I’ve used query monitor to check what the issue is and it’s as per the screenshot. (You’ll have to open the image in a new tab if it’s too small).

The site has 9,280 users so it is not so it’s not considered a “big site” however it looks like from the documentation it’s not far off.

I have visited Tools -> Forums and manually ran the upgrade tasks (just in case they didn’t complete after the update).

[greenvertical]

We have the same problem with the v3 importer. How to migrate Kunena 5 to bbPress?
Has anyone ever finished that and a hint for us?

[Robin W]

I’ve looked further at the code, and yes my translation won’t work for time.

I am just a bbpress user who helps out on this forum, so I cannot say when the devs will complete the translations.

[Chuckie]

This is why I have switched off moderation:

// Switch off bbPress Forum moderation
add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );

Add that to your child theme functions.php or a snippet.
