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' );
// ==============================================================

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!

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).

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?

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.

Hi Robin;
you’re absolutely right and I did it but

1) I have a very complex environment (Buddy Groups, Private and public stuff …)

2) I wanted to be certain of my results so as not to have to start the whole structure again in case of error

3) finally make everyone benefit from this answer.

So for me the sub-forums of a private forum are private by default (but, I will still mark them private jus in case)

Note: I also think that it is information that could be added in the bbPress codex.

Thank you for answering.

[Robin W]

and can you look at this post to see if you also get this

Users can’t upload media

[Chuckie]

In most cases this is what has been happening for me. This is why I mentioned previously that the forum here on bbPress in not geared up to use those categories. It just shows a forum with topics.

[Robin W]

this is because 2.6 has changed some wording and context, and the new translations have not been made yet

to fix the above either use this

add_filter(  'gettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3  );
add_filter(  'ngettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate' , 20 , 3 );

function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        '%s day' => '%s jour',
						'%s days' => '%s jours',
						'Last Post' => 'Dernier message',
             );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}
     return $translated;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

or use the translations tab in my style pack plugin

Hi, our company is currently using Lithium platform. We have about 100,000 posts and 30,000 users. Is it possible to migrate this to bbPress?

Other requirements are:
• Post images, and videos easily
• Permissions for users to view Forums by topic
• Ability to support 500 simultaneous visitors and 2 million page views per year
• Ability to monitor activity and create reports on
– Page views by product
– New users

I’m aware that bbPress has 200+ plugins so I’ll have to research what is available there but is there anything here that someone can see as not doable?

thanks,
Kurt

Hello !
I updated bbpress to version 2.6.1 and noticed that several words were not translated anymore (I own a french website), especially in freshness :

I used to edit those translation with a plugin called “Loco Translate”.
So I went and checked if those words (ago, months, months, day, days, etc.) were still correctly translated in french version, and they are.

So, is there an issue with translation since 2.6.x release with the freshness labels ?
Can you help ?

Best regards

[Robin W]

hmm – that is interesting – this seems to refer to a plugin

bbPress Threaded Replies

which has not been supported for a number of years.

It is likely that 2.6.1 has revised a function which threaded replies uses, and therefor is no longer working.

[brunov99]

Hello ?
This is a simple question for bbPress experts anyone ?
Thank you

Hi, I have two main topics and they have 4 and 3 subtopics respectively. For some reason, only the main topics on my forum page https://www.apis.de/forum/ are showing. I believe this changed with a recent update to either WordPress or BBpress. How do I display the sub-topics of each of the main 2 forum topics as well plz?

[bbtrouble]

Hello, we’re using WordPress version Version 5.3, BuddyPress version 5.0.0, bbPress version 2.6.1 and our website is https://www.lightstalking.us. The theme we’re using is called Performag (Version: 1.409).

Two days ago we suddenly started to have this issue regarding posting images in forum threads – our forum participants can’t post images. They can upload them and hit the send button, but the images simply won’t show up in the thread.

The issue is not due to plugin incompatibility because it’s still there even when I disable all the plugins we have.

Let me know if there’s anything we can do to solve this.

Best,
Jasenka

Hello,

I have the following problem;

Users can not upload images or videos when starting a new topic. As a user, you can select an image you have already uploaded to go in the new topic, but not upload new ones. It seems to work okay for users to upload and select new images when they are replying to an existing topic, the problem seems to be when starting a new topic.

My website foilfeed.net

I have deactivated all plugins and this didn’t fix it.

Bbpress is 2.6.0

[hydrogriff]

Please refrain from bumping this quick. Check the responses in this thread.

[Chuckie]

In my case not every post was going to moderation. It was just the fact that the feature was working right as in it was now detecting link counts. That was not working before.

There is another discussion setting to send all comments for moderation but I don’t think BBPress checks that setting.

Also, BBPress does not inform admin by email when post goes to moderation. That would make sense to be a option. You are getting there. Cool!

[zeddee]

Our bbForum has stopped working, giving the following error message. Could this be due to the recent plugin update?

ArgumentCountError thrown
Too few arguments to function UCC_bbPress_Threaded_Replies::get_topic_pagination(), 1 passed in /home/cotswol1/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 288 and exactly 2 expected

[John James Jacoby]

I’ve perhaps uncovered a backwards compatibility issue with third party plugins that were using the now deprecated blacklist function.

In addition, everyone having issues here should remember that bbPress inherits many of the WordPress Discussion (Comments) settings. Moderation words, number of links, allowed tags, and a few others. If topics and replies are getting caught in moderation, comments of the same content would be also.

That said, the default behavior is NOT to land every single post in Moderation. If that is what is happening, something is broken.

[John James Jacoby]

Caching plugins misbehaving could definitely contribute to problems in a lot of areas.

Private and Hidden forums also do work a little bit strangely, especially without BuddyPress Groups on top of them to manage them a bit better, and especially when you have a mix of public and private within the same branch of a forum tree.

Imagine, if you will:

Public 1
|--Private 1
|--|--Public 2
|--Public 3

Now, I login and create a Topic in the Private 1 forum.

How should that bubble up to the parent Public 1 category?

Then someone creates a topic in the Public 2 forum. How can a public forum even exist under a private forum?

bbPress won’t prevent you from doing these things, but it won’t really work very well when you do.

I think, to work best, we could never cache these values ever, because they’d always be based on what the currently logged in user can see, instead of being attached to the forums or the categories like they always have been.

But for now, for performance reasons, these Freshness values are working as intended, even though they aren’t a real great experience for Private and Hidden Forums underneath other Public ones.
