I just saw your message @mike80222

I said “bbpress is not causing it.” because Robin said that in this message : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-notice-on-version-2-6-11/#post-243051

I have given up trying to find the source of the error tbh. I just deactivated debugging mode. It’s the best solution (for now), but it’s just annoying when you have to debug a problem and you have dozens of similar lines.

Sorted – The front end issue is a CSS error made by us.

The back end issue is a problem with DiviAI and not caused by BBPress itself.

The temp fix is to disable DiviAI from the Divi>Role Editor for all users including the admin.

I have raised this issue with Divi asking for a fix in Divi5 when it gets released.

Anyone from BBPress help me with this?

[Robin W]

ok, so bbpress will show before the site is published

does bbpress show as active in
dashboard>plugins>installed plugins
do you have
dashboard>settings>Forums showing

[Big Ed]

I would like to speak to the BB press plug originator or expert or troubleshooter
This is a really complex problem.
I would be to offer my email – biged76112@gmail.com

Is there a chance that this plug-in does not show properly until the website is published.
This website does not have an active domain

[andrew55]

Sure, this is the code I’m using:

add_post_type_support('topic', array('thumbnail'));
add_post_type_support('forum', array('thumbnail'));
/*
Plugin Name: bbPress - Forum Icons
Plugin URI: https://gist.github.com/ntwb/8277457
Description: bbPress - bbPress - Forum Icons
Version: 0.1
Author: Stephen Edgar - Netweb
Author URI: http://netweb.com.au
*/
// Original Source: http://www.kristarella.com/2013/04/bbpress-forum-icons/
add_post_type_support('forum', array('thumbnail'));
function ks_forum_icons() {
	if ( 'topic' == get_post_type() ) {
		global $post;
	    if ( has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) )
	    	echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,'thumbnail',array('class' => 'alignleft forum-icon'));
	 }
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_topic_title','ks_forum_icons');

[Ricsca2]

How can I set the title and meta description for the forums page?
BBpress doesn’t create a page like it does for categories, so I can’t set anything.

Hi, I’m using this code from @stagger-lee to enable ability to create featured images in topics:

Add Featured Image to New Topics in Frontend WYSWYG

When ever I create featured image, they all come out to 400px by 400px. Is there a way to set the featured images to a different size, such as 600px by 400px?

Thank you for any suggestions.

[Robin W]

you need top take out the “!important” in the rule in your Customizr Child Home style.css line 2858

to make it

#bbpress-forums ul.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.even {
  background-color: #EFEFEF;
}

and then add this rule

#bbpress-forums .super-sticky {
	background-color: blue !important;
}

[andrew55]

I’m usually ok with using css in my child theme, but struggling with this.

I need to change the background color only of the sticky topics area here:

https://www.lifeleap.org/community/forums/forum/lifeleap-cafe/lifeleap-institute-related/

I have the background color set with this css (even and odd):

#bbpress-forums ul.odd

But I just can’t figure out how to change background color only on the sticky topics.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I got the editor and this plugin to work by adding a code to my themes functions.php (child theme if you use that)

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

It activates the TinyMCE editor in BBPress.

When a user quotes another post using the quote button, their post shows the bbcode as plain text. I tried to recreate the issue on my end with a test account (non-admin) in incognito mode, and was not able to recreate the issue. Any idea what could be causing it? (example linked below)

Wordpress version: 6.8.2
bbPress version: 2.6.14
Link: example post with issue

Hi @johnjamesjacoby,

I realize you’re busy and I hate to keep pressing this, but the truth is that the functionality for this specific pagination has been broken for nearly five years (at least that I’ve been aware of).

In addition to the examples I’ve already shared (which I’m still waiting on a reply to), I wanted to provide one more. Since this site is publicly listed as an example on bbPress, I figured it would be fine to post it here.

On the Angry Birds bbPress/BuddyPress forum, the same pagination issue appears for Topics Started and Replies Created. You can see the broken links for the user “Bird Leader” here:
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/birdleader/forums/replies/

If you try to view page 2 for either section, it results in a 404 error. Viewing the page source confirms they’re running the latest versions of both bbPress and BuddyPress.

A response on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

[Robin W]

ok, it is listed as a bug for bbpress to fix, I am just a volunteer here,

so if you want a fix in the meantime , install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bbPress Bug Fixes and select the relevant one (at/near the bottom)

[Robin W]

I have no influence on what the core bbpress does.

21% of websites are http

[Ricsca2]

99% of sites are in https and not http, so if you can, it would be a good idea to point this out to whoever handles bbpress updates.
People who type in a domain start with www and never type https, so it’s really annoying to see URLs in http.

[Robin W]

yes for the reasons stated above, ie the link will resolve to https if the site has ssl.

Not every site is https

that’s how the bbpress authors have decided it should work

[Ricsca2]

But seriously, are you telling me that it is normal that if a user writes www.google.com on bbpress it becomes http://www.google.com and not https:?

[Robin W]

The key word in their answer is ‘should’ – by which they mean that they do not intend to do it, and they think that each forum provider (in this case bbpress) ‘should’ do this – but free software only contains what the software authors want it to. From a small amount of looking at that article, I’d suggest that it would be 1-3 weeks work to provide a solution as either a google structured expert would need to learn bbpress or a bbpress expert would need to learn google structured, and not something that I have any interest in doing – sorry 🙁

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-and-yoast/

[andrew55]

Is there a plugin or function to sort topics by weight? In other words, a field where a numerical value can be added, and if a value exist in this field, it brings the topic to top of topic lists.

And each topic that has a value in it, if the value is higher than other values of topics, the highest values are are the top of topic lists. And then topics which have no values are sorted in topic list in default manner.

I’ve seen sorting set up with values like this in all types of scripts, and just hoping there is a way to accomplish this in bbPress.

Thanks for any suggestions.

[Ricsca2]

Liking posts is very engaging for users, especially if there’s a page that shows the users who have received the most likes. It’s true, but it’s a shame it doesn’t exist by default on BBpress.

[markkavin]

You can achieve this without raw SQL by looping through the replies and filtering out the author’s own ones. Something like this:

$reply_count = 0;
$replies = bbp_get_all_child_ids( $topic_id, bbp_get_reply_post_type() );

if ( ! empty( $replies ) ) {
foreach ( $replies as $reply_id ) {
if ( get_post_field( ‘post_author’, $reply_id ) != $author_id ) {
$reply_count++;
}
}
}

This way you count only replies not made by the topic author. Then you can compare $reply_count with your threshold to trigger the reward.

It’s lightweight, avoids direct SQL, and keeps everything inside bbPress/WordPress functions.

[wp1945225]

Hello,

We are running bbPress 2.6.14 on a WordPress 6.8.2 site with a private forum.

We have noticed a strange issue:

Some subscribed users receive email notifications when new topics/replies are posted.

Other subscribed users (from the same forum) do not receive anything.

We checked spam/junk folders, nothing there.

Trying to unsubscribe and resubscribe does not solve the issue.

So I have two main questions:

Where are subscriptions stored in the database with bbPress 2.6.14?

I don’t see a wp_bbp_engagements table in my DB.

I also don’t see any _bbp_subscriptions or _bbp_topic_subscriptions entries in wp_usermeta.

Yet some users clearly do receive notifications.

How does bbPress decide who gets notified?

Is it handled directly via wp_mail() when a reply/topic is created?

Could private forums behave differently compared to public ones?

Troubleshooting guidance

Is there a way to “rebuild” or “reset” subscriptions to ensure consistency?

Should I try to manually create the wp_bbp_engagements table if it is missing?

I’d really appreciate if someone could clarify how subscription data is stored and how email notifications are triggered in bbPress 2.6.14, so I can debug why some users receive emails and others don’t.

Thanks a lot!

I have disabled all plugins other than buddypress and bbpress.
Issue requires both to enabled. buddypress by itself does not cause this.

I am seeing this VERY HIGH log spam on every page load:

Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the bbpress domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.
