yea @anthonious i also experience some thing worst a blank page on my site

[pipipi07]

Thank you for making it 2.6!
However, there was a problem after the update.

I use bbpress in Japanese.
In ver.2.5, a code that sets the topic title to 20 characters in Japanese was added to functions.php and it worked properly.
This is the code.

function title_max_length ($ default) {
$ default = 20;
return $ default;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_title_max_length', 'title_max_length');

But after 2.6, it didn’t work.
For example, if default = 20, only 6 characters will be reflected in the title in Japanese. If it is half-width alphanumeric characters, up to 20 characters are correctly reflected.

I know this is a multibyte issue, but I don’t know how to deal with it. Can I change the limit on the number of characters in a title even with multibyte?
I hope to find a good solution.

I am not good at English. I’m sorry in terrible English. thank you for reading!

the new update really looks dope (aka nice) with the separators for each topics, but it really needs work on

1. its having issues with bubbypress, because when a member login its shows a blank page both for the home and bubbypress profile.
i thought it was from my theme until i uninstall BBpress.

2. this is just my suggestion…. topics should remain at its position, when a new reply is made.
e.g: when a member reply to an old topic, it goes back to the top of the recent topics,made… this should be looked into

Hello,

I use a combination of bbpress and buddypress (5.0) on my site. Buddypress notifications do not work properly since bbpress to 2.6.

When I originally clicked the notification, it redirected me to the topic / response and marked the notification as read. It’s not happening now. The notification remains unread.

I have tried on a clean installation of Worpdress, bbpress and buddypress without all the other add-ons, but it still doesn’t work.

What is wrong?

Mahalo … WP User Avatar works great with bbpress and bbstyle pack!

[John James Jacoby]

Hi there! Is this after updating to bbPress 2.6?

[sbmar]

Is there a reason that I cannot get the main CSS file (bbPress) in my child theme is not being read any longer? It is only looking for the bbpress.min.css file now?

[Chuckie]

I just tried a second time on my staging area and it had the same issue for number 9 on the steps. I don’t know how many more steps there are in the import process?

This time I checked a bit more on the topics imported and it seemed abit odd. For example, say that the topic list indicated that a topic had 5 comments. When I click the topic in many cases it has one.

But I know it is complicated to put many issues in one bbPress topic so I won’t digress. I await your direction re importing at stage 9.

[Chuckie]

I was not able to use the previous phpBB importer as it was failing right at the start. This new version seems to work better! However, I have some comments about this.

1/ A possible problem.

Here is my log (which I paused in the end):

2/ Feature Request

Because I was not able to previously import content I came up with a new simplified set of forum categories etc in my bbPress forum. Therefore, ideally I would love to be presented with a list of forums that are going to be imported so that I can map them to the existing forums I have created. So some would be merging several into one if that makes sense.

At the moment (even though I hit stop on point 9) I was able to view the forum and could seem many boards imported – a quick look it looked great. It is just that I wanted control over how the topics were imported. Thus my idea for the mapping from old forums to current forums.

Can this be done?

Please let me know if I need to give more info.

I don’t know if this should be a “trac ticket” or not.

Well done guys.

Andrew

PS. The related question (which can be closed and linked to this new one is: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-from-phpbb-5/).

[John James Jacoby]

Confirmed. Broken in https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3232, which I’ve reopened and will get fixed in 2.6.1. Sorry about that!

ok, found the setting for this item …
“* How do I remove this from the menu?”
… under the bbp style pack

But, the second issue still is a problem and prevents me from using the bbpress edit profile method …
*When that menu item is clicked, “Edit Profile”, it reaches this page…
…/forumslug/users/emailgmail-c*o*m/edit (added * to get this to post)
And it gives this error…
“Sorry, This Page Is Gone.
The page you are trying to view no longer exists or has been moved. You may try the search form below to find it.”
Why is this link incorrect and can it be corrected?

I use a shortcode for the forum user profile and works and the link is this…
…/forumslug/users/emailgmail-c*o*m (added * to get this to post)
(the “… /edit” is missing from this link and it works)

[safetoto777]

If you are using bbpress plugin in your wordpress account bbpress plugin will update you once they have latest bbpress version update

[livefree]

WP Version 5.2.4
bbPress Version 2.5.14
bbp style pack Version 4.3.2

When logged in, the main nav is showing “Edit Profile” and links to
…/forumslug/users/emailgmail-c*o*m/edit (added * to get this to post)

Two questions:
* How do I remove this from the menu?
(I have checked the main menu and it’s not showing this item under Appearance > Menus
I have deactivated all plugins… also tried wp2019 theme … no change)
*When that menu item is clicked, it reaches this page…
“Sorry, This Page Is Gone.
The page you are trying to view no longer exists or has been moved. You may try the search form below to find it.”
Why is this link incorrect and can it be corrected?

I use a shortcode for the forum user profile and works and the link is this…

Mahalo!

[Robin W]

since bbpress just uses the WordPress avatar system, then anything that allows users to upload should work

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/avatar/

simple local avatar looks like it is worth looking at

[livefree]

WP Version 5.2.4
bbPress Version 2.5.14
bbp style pack Version 4.3.2

With bbp style, I have tried the Gravatar option for User’s avatars.
It seems it will be too complicated for many.

What is the best option to setup self-uploads for avatars for the forum?
And, to change out the default avatar for the forum with a custom one?

[cnewhall]

WP 5.2.4 . BBP2.5.14 . I want to have my user’s comments on a post appear in the forum with perhaps the topic being the post title, rather than having a huge long list of post comments after every post. There used to be aplugin that would do this very neatly, bbPress Topics for WordPress plugin, but it has not been updated for several years. it seems like this is a problem that somwone would have solved but i cannot find a solution. Any help is appreciated.

[Hassehulabeck]

The only difference I’ve found between pure SMF and WP + bbPress is in the replies and as you can see there’s a difference between user info in the start of a topic, and in the reply.

If you look at https://www.svenskaflippersallskapet.com/index.php?topic=26595.0 (correct)

and compare with https://svenskaflippersallskapet.com/devo/forums/topic/lincade-onsdags-oppet/ (the reply differs).

I will look more into this and see if I can find other faults, but as for now, this is the only.

[Robin W]

private forums overrides bbpress, and you would simply need to make any ‘hidden’ forums only accessible to a group that say contains admins.

I think this still works

Remove Private: label prefix

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

Code Snippets

[Robin W]

‘topics’ and ‘replies’ are bbpress, ‘posts’ are WordPress.

What exactly do you mean by ‘posts’?

[Robin W]

ok, the code works in my test site, so a reply edit admin link show ‘hello’ instead of ‘Edit’.

If this is not the case, then 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

[Hassehulabeck]

Hi,
I’ve been converting from SMF (>2.0) to bbPress(2.5.14) and got it working – except for the fact that the correct user is displayed in topics, but not in posts.

In the database, the table smf_members has the column “id_member”, and wp_users has the column “ID”. The pivot-table wp_usermeta has the connection between these two id:s, but as I’ve described, the connection seems lost when looking at info about posts.

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

[stracy2]

Correction, As soon as “bbPress private forums” is Activated…

[stracy2]

As soon as “bbPress private forums” is enabled, all “Hidden” forums are listed (visible), even when “Click to activate forum visibility” is off.

For my use case, I’d like to use the “Remove Private prefix” option, but no other options are needed.

Hello everyone.
I am looking for some help here.
I am trying to migrate a rather large forum from phpbb to bbpress using the bbpress importer.
I filled the details with the right database information and started the import.
However, it keeps showing me an error and does not let me import anything.
When I click on “start” the import, it inmediately shows this text:

Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘topics.topic_replies’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(topics.topic_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_id,convert(topics.topic_replies USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_replies,convert(topics.topic_replies_real USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_replies_real,convert(topics.forum_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_id,convert(topics.topic_poster USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_poster,convert(posts.poster_ip USING “utf8mb4”) AS poster_ip,convert(posts.post_text USING “utf8mb4”) AS post_text,convert(topics.topic_title USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_title,convert(topics.topic_status USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_status,convert(topics.topic_type USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_type,convert(topics.topic_time USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_time,convert(topics.topic_last_post_time USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_last_post_time FROM phpbbli_topics AS topics INNER JOIN phpbbli_posts AS posts USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id = topics.topic_first_post_id LIMIT 0, 100
No topics to convertNo forum parents to convert

It only shows that text and does not import anything. All user accounts are existing inside my phpbb database.

Does anyone know why this is happening or how can I solve this in order to make the import?

Thank you.
