Hi there,

I’ve updated the plugin BB Press to the latest version (2.6.1), but the subforums display situation isn’t solved (We have 2 forums (Defense of the ancients & Legion Tower Defense) with subforums associated – The 1st one displays them in a incorrect way, and the 2nd doens’t display at all)

Tried searching the previous topics, but coulnd’t find any information regarding it (after the release of 2.6.1)

Thanks in advance

Wordpress: version 5.3
BBPress: version 2.6.1
Website: https://firstbloodgaming.com/forums/ (which is the affected page)

If default=21, I was able to input 7 characters in Japanese!
Apparently, 18-20 can be up to 6 characters, 21-23 can be up to 7 characters, 24 can be up to 8 characters in Japanese. This was a new discovery!

When bbPress was changed to 2.6, wordpress was upgraded to 5.3 as well. As you say, it may have an impact. I will try a little more to find out what’s wrong.
For the time being, I decided to set 60 instead of 20.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Robin,

I can confirm the quoted method works using bbPress 2.6 RC 7.

I’m grateful for the help.

Thanks.

[John James Jacoby]

Sorry, but bbPress 2.6.1 just went out without this fixed.

(There were a few issues that needed fixing ASAP.)

As soon as we have this figured out, another new bbPress release will happen.

Thanks for helping and being patient! 🙏

• Yes. W3TC with CSS minification.
• Yoast SEO. As far as I know, it doesn’t interact with CSS files.
• No.
• No.

Related change test: Tested with both screen and all. Did not work.

Additional information:

I have dequeued bbpress stylesheets for non-bbpress pages, using the below code.

function dequeue_bbpress_style() {
    if ( class_exists('bbPress') ) {
      if ( ! is_bbpress() ) {
        wp_dequeue_style('bbp-default');
        wp_dequeue_style( 'bbp_private_replies_style');
        wp_dequeue_script('bbpress-editor');
      }
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_bbpress_style', 99 );

I hope this helps.

I also noted another issue where the replies were not loading (both topic replies and threaded replies) for any topics.

In the admin area we have several menu items in various places:

Topics
Replies
Forums
Tools – Forums
Settings – Forums

Is it not possible to have them grouped together? At least first three in BBPress menu?

[John James Jacoby]

Subforums are not listed.

The subforums not being listed will be fixed in 2.6.1.

A few more questions:

• Using any caching plugins?
• Using any SEO plugins that might be interacting with CSS files?
• Using a right-to-left language?
• Overriding any constants? (WP_CONTENT_DIR, WP_PLUGIN_DIR, WP_THEME_DIR, etc…)

Anything else about your WordPress installations you can share?

The only related change I can find, is: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3012

If you’re able to edit that file in bbPress directly, and revert it back, and test, that would be super helpful to confirm or disconfirm if that does it.

Hi JJJ,

Renaming to bbpress.min.css brings the style back. Yes, the bbpress.css is inside a subdirectory css.

Also, the subforum is not appearing. And I see two favorite and subscribe elements in the topic page now.

[John James Jacoby]

One last question:

Are your bbpress.css files in the root of your theme directory, or under a subdirectory?

Like…

• css/bbpress.css
• assets/css/bbpress.css

etc…

[sbmar]

I threw all of my bbpress.css code into the bbpress.min.css file and it all became included at that point. Not sure I like that but at least it works…

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks for reporting this here. I’ll look into it.

This probably will not be fixed in bbPress 2.6.1, but will be a priority afterwards.

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks everyone for the details here.

For those who had a bbpress.css file, can you try renaming it to bbpress.min.css and see if it gets included now? I have a theory on what’s going on, and your feedback will help me narrow it down.

[John James Jacoby]

Different themes use different styling for different reasons.

If I recall correctly, Twenty Seventeen does not use the text-decoration attribute, but rather uses some kind of text-shadow or bottom-border. It’s a weird anomaly with how that theme decided to do things.

It’s nearly impossible for bbPress to work perfectly with all themes, but we do try to keep the default styling working well with the themes that come bundled with WordPress.

This should be solvable with a bit of custom CSS. I’ll create a Trac ticket and see if we can bring this back for you with this theme specifically.

[John James Jacoby]

This will be fixed in bbPress 2.6.1.

After updated to bbPress plugin update 2.6.0, I am experiencing an error on my forum home login page where the table html is showing up on the page, instead of the actual text and link. See the link here:
image of error

Note that to get the forum formatting I wanted, I am also using several related plugins including:
bbPress Notify (No-Spam) version 2.5.6
bbp style pack version 4.3.2
bbPress WP Tweaks version 1.4.3

It is possible that the update is interfering with one of the other plugins, or vice versa. Any suggestions on how I can remedy this, or edit it to remove the table, would be appreciated. Thanks.

[John James Jacoby]

Hey there! Sorry that 2.6 is giving you trouble.

bbPress roles are somewhat tricky, but not too much has changed, so it shouldn’t be too hard for us to figure it out.

We’ll need to see the code that you used to make your custom Roles. If you can include it or link to it here, that will be really helpful.

[John James Jacoby]

This will be fixed today in 2.6.1. Sorry for the trouble!

Hi,

I’m currently using BuddyPress, bbPress, and Image and video gallery from Google Drive (all are latest updated). The plugin “Image and video gallery from Google Drive” provides a shortcodes is [sgdg path=”MyPath”]. I tried installing “bbPress – Do Shortcode” and it worked. However, the javascript file for loading is missing. Anyone can help me out please?

When I upgraded to bbPress 2.6.0, the links in my forums (e.g. topic names, links in posts) don’t show up underlined any more like they used to. So they’re not obviously links any more, which seems to be a usability issue. This is with WordPress 5.3.

I haven’t changed anything to do with the theme/appearance.

If you change 20 to 21, are you able to put 7 Japanese characters?
Just thinking of the multibyte characters, Japanese characters might be using 3 characters.

If it works, then for now you could change from 20 to 60, but that would mean that somebody can put 60 English characters of course…

To be honest it seems strange that this happens because of the switch of bbPress as the functions in 2.5 and 2.6 look the same. Are you sure it’s not because of a switch of WordPress to a higher version or another change?

I have no other ideas unfortunately…

Hi,
Maybe https://github.com/r-a-y/bbp-live-preview or https://github.com/jawittdesigns/bbpress-live-preview can help?

The new bbPress 2.6.0 update implemented yesterday breaks the forum index displayed with the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode.

1. The above shortcode used to display two levels, not one on bbpress 2.5.14 before the update.
2. The problem happens on three different sites, so it is not a plugin compatibility issue.
3. The problem was reported during the 2.6.0 development cycle but ignored:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subforums-not-showing-after-upgrade-from-2-6rc5-to-2-6rc7/

4. The forums that are displayed are and always have been propertly set to display two levels in the index:

Showing parent forums and subforums (categories) in forum root: How?

What I would recommend is modifying bbpress to implement a parameter after the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode such as “showlevels=1-2” or the like. That way users can control how many levels of the hierarchy are displayed in the index.

This is clearly a bug in 2.6.0 that needs to be fixed. When will it be fixed?

I see this same error when I try to publish or edit an event via The Events Calendar plugin.
I do not have issues publishing a post.

All of this started in the last couple of days. Has been working fine for months.

Curious if other Events Calendar users experience this.

Hope a fix is found soon. My site’s two purposes are the forum and calendar.

Thanks for all your hard work bbpress team!

Here’s a fix.

– Paste into ‘phpBB.php’ file and save in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php

Remember to back up the old phpBB.php file first.

Godspeed…..
