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
Suffusion Child Theme, 4.4.9
Browsers, latest versions of Firefox and Chrome
PHP version 7.2.7
bbPress Version 2.6.2

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

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

The ALT + SHIFT + M hotkey does not work inside the editor of bbPress (even though I have the media plugin enabled and the functional button on the toolbar.

I raised this both on TinyMCE GitHUB:

https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/issues/5223

And WordPress:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-media-hotkey/#post-12174886

TinyMCE support said:

TinyMCE doesn’t provide any shortcuts for the image, nor media plugin by default so this is likely an issue with wordpress or wordpress plugin you’re using. Since there is nothing we can do to fix the issue, I’m going to close this and suggest you log an issue with wordpress or wordpress plugin directly.

WordPress support said:

AFAIK that hot key is unique to the post edit screen only when using the classic editor. It’s not the editor itself that it’s tied to, but the edit screen for posts. If the block editor had a media button it would probably still work there. However, the bbPress forum post screen is not the same as a WP post edit screen. You would need some JavaScript code that listens for the specific keyboard event and when it occurs, launch the media modal.

Therefore, it sounds to me that bbPress needs some tweak to cater for the advertised hotkey for inserting images. Can this be considered please? All other hot keys are functional.

Thank you.

I just installed bbPress plugin and went through the setup but for some reason the registration redirects to the home page when I press view on the pages dashbored

Go to Settings | Discussions and increase the limit for allowed links. Or switch off moderation altogether by adding this to your child theme functions.php or add a snippet:

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

[Chuckie]

This has already been raised and actively discussed here:

Freshness doesn’t seem to update as quickly any more?

[sgblogadmin]

Hi there… scary hour… I was told by a participant that 4 old forums that were all set to Private / Hidden were showing for them. “Click to Activate Forum visibility” is not checked and never has been.

I have got round this for now by putting the old forums in the ‘bin’ for now but this is not great and could cause trust issues re data.

incase relevant bbpress is also used with Woocommerce Memberships and bbp private groups and private groups bridge

It had been working for some years. no plugins are out of date etc.

Any ideas?

[Robin W]

oh, and also can you say whether you are running a child theme that has any bbpress files in it?

[Robin W]

for the moment I would change the file on production, knowing that it will be overwritten by any new versions of bbpress.

Hopefully JJJ will respond.

[lauramark]

Hello,

I have the last version bbPress and Woocommerce suscriptions.

I have restricted my topics, but it is visibility for all users. Pages, Posts and Custom Post Type work fine. But topics don´t work. WHY??

[Robin W]

how are you adding tinymce to bbpress ?

[hydrogriff]

I tried 2.6.2 as well. As reported in the Child CSS post, I am facing this issue as well. Sub-forums are not displayed. I did purge the cache and tried saving forums too. The following things are not working.

• Subforums wont display
• Replies to topic wont display
• Custom CSS won’t load

@johnjamesjacoby, if it’s any help, I found these info after testing other versions of BBPress.

The subforums and replies were still working in 2.6-beta-1 and 2.6-beta-2.

Additional information:

• CSS stopped working since 2.6-beta-1.
• Replies to topics stopped working since 2.6-rc-1.
• Subforum display stopped working in 2.6-rc-7.

[Robin W]

I’ve kicked this around for the last couple of hours.

The issue is not new with 2.6.

The core set up you have is that you have a private forum listed under a public category.

This gives a problem for what bbpress should store as last active time.

For logged in users this should be the ‘true’ last active for all sub forums, but for non-logged in users this should be the last active time of any PUBLIC sub forums, so in theory you should have two ‘last active’ times one for logged in and one for non-logged in. But bbpress does not have this.

To complicate matters, this is handled differently for topics and replies

The topic_walker function doesn’t check for private sub forums, so it creates the last active as a link to a private topic. So non logged in users see a ‘last active’ time, but if they click this, it goes to a 404 as the topic is not visible.

The reply_walker function DOES check for private forum status, and doesn’t update if the forum is private.

That is why you see Topics being added, but not replies.

I’ll think about how best to resolve, it may need a trac ticket

Sorry will try to provide more details…

Total forums: 35 • Total posts: 63,649 • Total topics: 4,686 • Total users: 20,840

Site installed plugin just fine but as soon as it finished and re activated bbpress plugin i could not access anything including backend. It would error with “site is experiencing technical difficulties” I could access backend in “recovery mode” but entire site was down. I have had 2.6rc7 installed on dev site for at least 6 months so not sure why it caused such a problem on live site? I did disable security and cache and i even put site in maintenance mode via theme option to keep members from posting while i did upgrade. Not sure if it was related to users still logged in or some plugin conflict but the dev site is running fine with same plugins only difference is no users logged in and no traffic

[mrmillercoach]

@johnjamesjacoby they are sorted in the exact opposite order in the Forms List Widget. They are listed correctly in the All Forums area https://community.careerpivot.com/all-forums/

@robin-w I have updated multiple of the forums and even tried changing the hierarchy to see if that might make a difference.

I would be happy to create a temporary account with appropriate permissions for someone to take a look. Just email me at marc@careerpivot.com

I just update to bbPress 2.6.2 which did not change anything.

By crash I mean site was down only way to recover was to manually copy bbpress 2.5 plugin backup via ftp

[andreas87]

Hi guys,

I am searching for a function, that allows members to rate a topic / thread.

Is there something like this for bbpress already?!

Thanks,
Andreas

[Chuckie]

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?

[John James Jacoby]

This topic is a duplicate of:

Extra tags to add to list for videos

And:

Any way to remove moderation ?

Closing this one.

[Chuckie]

So I am using this extra function so that extra HTML tags are not stripped for non-admin users:

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(

		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'href'     => true,
			'title'    => true,
			'rel'      => true,
			'class'    => true,
			'target'   => true,
		),

		// Quotes
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite'     => true,
		),
		
		// Div
		'div' => array(
			'class'     => true,
		),
		
		// Span
		'span'          => array(
			'class'     => true,
			'style'     => true,
		),

		// Paragraph
		'p'          => array(
			'dir'    => true,
			'style'  => true,
		),
		
		// Code
		'code'       => array(),
		'pre'        => array(
		'class'      => true,
		),

		// Formatting
		'em'         => array(),
		'strong'     => array(),
		'del'        => array(
			'datetime' => true,
		),

		'ul'         => array(),
		'ol'         => array(
			'start'    => true,
		),
		'li'         => array(),

		// Images
		'img'        => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'src'      => true,
			'border'   => true,
			'alt'      => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'width'    => true,
		),

		// Tables
		'table'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'bgcolor'  => true,
			'border'   => true,
		),
		'tbody'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'td'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tfoot'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'th'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'thead'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tr'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'video'      => array(
			'controls' => true,
			'width'    => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'source'     => array(
				'src'    => true,
				'type'	 => true
			)
		)
	);
} 
// ==============================================================

Notice the section at the end for videos? This is the issue. These videos are inserted using the TinyMCE Video plugin. Once it is inserted it looks something like this:

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

The problem is that for a non-admin user the < and /> wrapped around the source tag is getting escaped. Thus the syntax is not correct and the video module will not play.

Robin suggested I switch off moderation:

add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );
And to try removing this filter:

remove_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'bbp_filter_kses', 30 );

But i can’t get it to work. The only way to insert one of these videos is if a admin user does it so that the escaping of the source tag does not happen.

Can this be resolved?

It is not a bug with the TinyMCE Video plugin. It is a bug only with non admin users inserting the videos. I assumed BBPress is escaping the inner content. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.
