Hello all, recently upgraded to PHP 7.2 on WPengine and our BBpress Forums has decided to throw a HTTP error 500.

The error message shown in log:

[Wed Nov 21 2018] [php7:error] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function blockchain_replace_the_title(), 1 passed and exactly 2 expected in /nas/content/live/ep18/wp-content/themes/blockchain/inc/default-hooks.php:60\nStack trace:\n#0 [internal function]: blockchain_replace_the_title(‘Forums’)\n#1 /nas/content/live/ep18/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(286): call_user_func_array(‘blockchain_repl…’, Array)\n#2 /nas/content/live/ep18/wp-includes/plugin.php(203): WP_Hook->apply_filters(‘Forums’, Array)\n#3 /nas/content/live/ep18/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/theme-compat.php(519): apply_filters(‘the_title’, ‘Forums’)\n#4 [internal function]: bbp_template_include_theme_compat(‘/nas/content/li…’)\n#5 /nas/content/live/ep18/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(286): call_user_func_array(‘bbp_template_in…’, Array)\n#6 /nas/content/live/ep18/wp-includes/plugin.php(203): WP_Hook->apply_filters(‘/nas/content/li…’, Array)\n#7 /nas/content/live/ep18/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/sub-actions.php(436): apply_filters(‘bbp_temp in /nas/content/live/ep18/wp-content/themes/blockchain/inc/default-hooks.php on line 60, referer: https://ep18.wpengine.com/

Can anyone help?

Is BBpress compatible with PHP 7.2?

Thanks

whilst this hasn’t been updated in a few years, I think it still works

bbPress Moderation

Hello,
I am using bbpress for forums on my site. But now I am migrating my forums to another site.

I want to export only open topics to new site. Is there any way to get only open topics? Can anyone help me out for this?

[ehasimon]

Thanks. Could you tell me where in the plugin file “bbpress” I can find the coding that needs to be changed/added, or do I need to place it into the functionality file?

Custom Capabilities

and add

delete replies to participants

[Robin W]

I’d suggest you contact Milan who wrote GD bbpress attachements

at support@dev4press.com.

[Robin W]

I had a look, I think it is your theme which reloads bbpress.min.css which stops my style pack plugin settings working.

can you see if your parent theme has a bbpress file?

[gotogoood]

I made private forums using “bbp private groups” and added “GD bbPress Attachments” plugin to upload files.

Then, everyone one can access the media file despite the closed forums.
Is it possible to make media URL private?

Thanks.

Thank you, @robin-w!

So I found found the cause of the bug. There is a typo on line 303 of the “bbpress/includes/topics/template.php” file in the latest version of bbPress (2.5.14). It tries to set the “post_status” query value to “readable”. This is an invalid value for “post_status”. What the programmer intended was to set the “perm” query value to “readable”.

[Robin W]

try this filter

//make sure scheduled stickies don't show - pending fix by bbpress
add_filter ('bbp_get_stickies', 'rew_get_stickies' , 10 , 2) ;
function rew_get_stickies ($stickies, $forum_id ) {
	$return = array () ;
	//check if any are future
	foreach ($stickies as $sticky) {
		if (get_post_status( $sticky ) !='future') 
		 array_push ($return, $sticky) ;
	}
return $return ;	
}

[Robin W]

agree, it seems to be a bug.

I have lodged a trac ticket

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3230

I’ll see how easy it is to filter for a temporary fix

[Robin W]

I think you will need a developer. I am fully tied up, but try Milan

Freelance Programmer needed for BBpress – how/who to hire?

[Robin W]

your site is using the bbpress.min.css file

you should copy the bbpress.css file to your childtheme as per

Theme Compatibility

and amend it there

[richardt111]

Yes, had bbpress running for about 8 months now and no issues ever before.

Permalink reset has not worked unfortunately!

[Robin W]

sorry, what I meant was ‘were users able to post topics and replies and now can’t, or have you recently added bbpress and topics and replies have never worked’

and did you try resetting permalinks?

[Robin W]

ok, so

your site was working – and with no changes that you are aware of, it is now not working ?
it happens every time
with a default theme AND just bbpress the error happens – yes?

try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this just resets the permalinks

[longtall]

Tearing my hair out here trying to change the content container to transparent. I’ve tried changing the bbpress.css file, putting custom css in the bbl style pack, but nothing seems to work.
Really appreciate some help here as I don’t what else I can do.
WordPress 4.9.8
bbPress 2.5.14

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
we are migrating our site which includes a bbPress forum. The migration process is pretty long. So we’d rather not close the forum for a long time.

We’ll start the migration import the whole database. The rest of the process will take several days. This means that in the meantime new discussions will be added to the forum.

We thought we could add those new discussions using the XML importer. But in our tests it didn’t work. The discussions don’t show up in the frontend. And when we try to fix them with the bbPress tools, they disappear.

Is there a way to do it?

[maxlevel]

@robin-w 1 and 2 both yes and I will contact you.

@odevbul Thanks, I already tested the above plugin as well as this
bbPress Moderation By Ian Stanley

The problem is that both plugins work for all forums and I need it for only one of my forums.

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue issue, so you’ll need to test to find out which

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

Deactivate all but 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

bbPress – Moderation Tools

[msmohanish2017]

I have installed bbPress plugin on my WordPress site. I just wanted to know if there is any moderator approval option is available. I want Topics and Replies get visible only when they are approved by Administrator.

[cindyy]

EN(English) and TC (Traditional Chinese) . Forum and topics seems to be working properly during the translation. But when it come to the replies section, I tried translating and it saves properly, but upon visiting the replies for the translated language TC the reply being translated cannot be seen. it says it is done translating to TC but the post reply cannot be seen. Is this a bug?

Why can’t bbpress have it’s own table to store posts etc? This will speed up db queries when using post tracking etc.
bbpress is very barebone but not very powerfull. There are plugins that extend the functionality but because of bbpress architecture it will not scale well.
Everything is stored in postmeta which grow very large. I have hundred of thousands of posts and for every post there is 10 entries in the postmeta table.

I think if bbpress can have a “normal” way of storing it’s information it will attract more users and more developers. Dedicated forum systems like Xenforo etc are superior but they are lacking everything else that you want to have on your site. There are bridges etc but it will never be the same.

There are other forums for wordpress like wpForo and Asgaros but they don’t really cut it at the moment.

Let’s bring bbPress alive by giving it a new fresh db table layout!!!

Well, I can tell you I’m totally unimpressed with the import routine for phpBB. Last count I’ve spent over 10 hours trying to figure out each of the little gotchas. And just when I’m able to get the routine to run – it doesn’t import a bloody thing. At this point, I’m about to just give up and scrap 14 years of forum posts. That or abandon bbPress and focus on fixing phpBB. Rather sad state of affairs.
