I have setup BBPress to work with A Membership plugin so only members of the community can access the forum (in order to keep strangers from getting in) but even though I have marked the forums page with the “members only” restriction, if I have a direct link, I can still see that page even without logging in.
So I implemented shortcodes for specific forums and created pages specific to that forum while adding quick links to sidebar navigation, which works beautifully. But if you click on the forum within the bbpress window it goes to the generic forum topic page and not the new page I designed.
How can I keep the forum from being viewed by not logged in members with a direct link? I cant have just anyone accessing this forum. Thanks

[hamiltontroll]

Does anyone have a document that is a very generic How-To Instructional that can explain to a Newbie or Technically Challenged user, how to use a Forum. Something that describes what a Forum is, What a Topic is. What kind of content you should post where, etc? I am trying to write something up for an active retirement community.

This has been solved by @robin-w in a different topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-text-box-wider-than-mobile-screen/#post-237400

the solution is..

#bbpress-forums p input {
width: 240px !important;
}

Pasted into bbpress style pack custom css tab

I had the same issue here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topic-create-text-area-off-the-screen-on-a-smartphone-in-forum-view/

Thanks so much @robin-w

I will mark my topic as solved and add a link to this one 🙂

[jelliott2014]

I’ve just noticed that all my bbPress forums have a warning “This forum is marked as closed to new topics, however your posting capabilities still allow you to create a topic.” How can I eliminate this message?

[chunming0920]

Hello,i am so sorry that i am bbpress new user,i press the button ‘Add advanced theme suppport – see below for instructions’,is it need to create dummy page first?

[kreartmedia]

Hi ! I have the exact same bug.

I did the same tests, disable plugins and change theme and it’s still not working.

The last log error I have is this : [proxy_fcgi:error [pid 14982:tid 140197144532736 [client 207.253.115.34:0 AH01071: Got error ‘SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ” at lin…………bbp_locate_template, load_template, require(‘/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-topics.php’), bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require(‘/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php’), bbp…’

the video in this thread has helped others I believe

Divi Builder Header not loading on search pages

[rbirkey]

I am working on a new client site and have started integrating bbPress into it, using the DIVI theme. I have created the Forums, Register, Member, Password Reset, and Login pages using shortcodes. I can create topics, threads, and replies. However, if I use the Search function, it displays a blank page. The URL structure of the search results is mydomain/forums/search/searchterm. There is no header or footer. I have no page created for mydomain/forums/search/

Do I need to create a template for this page, and if so, what is the shortcode I would use to display the search results?

The same thing is true for the “Users” page which displays at this URL – mydomain/forums/users/username – but is blank.

I’ve searched for shortcodes or details about this and have come up empty-handed.

[Robin W]

It does make sense that it would be related to a recent update…but if the problem persists when everything is disabled and I’m using a default WordPress theme, then how could something else still be affecting it?

There is always a reason, computers don’t start doing things differently for no reason, the problem is tracking that down 🙂 🙂

If this was a bbpress issue then 1. given no update in bbpress there is no change to affect your site so no reason for it to start happening and 2. this support forum would have hundreds of topics on the subject posted in the last few days.

My test forum continues to work fine.

so if not plugin update or theme change then a setting could be affecting.

so I’d suggest you switch debug on and see if that is showing any issues

https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-enable-debugging-in-wordpress/

after that we’re onto software higher up.

so what PHP version are you running?

[Robin W]

bbpress is free software with free support from volunteers like myself.

We’re not really here for fixing individual site problems on income earning sites.

My bet would be that it is an update of a theme or plugin causing part of bbpress to stop ‘showing lead topic’

You should start by looking at what has been updated recently.

[Robin W]

as I said bbpress simply uses WordPress registration, so any wordpress/membership registration will work. Bbpress simply hooks to that registration in the background.

[simon_a6]

It’s as I think we are using a Memberships plugin for it.
But I couldn’t see how to do this via BBPress properly.
I thought it would give me the shortcodes to add to a page, or a guide on how to do it.

[Robin W]

bbpress simply uses the wordpress registration and login, so users can register with the wordpress registration

[Josh Virkler]

Thank you so much for your quick reply!

I have tried disabling all plugins except bbpress, and switching to a default WordPress theme. Unfortunately, even in this state, the messages are still not appearing.

What is my next move?

[Robin W]

try

#bbpress-forums p input {
	width: 240px !important;
}

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, 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.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back

Hello,

bbPress 2.6.9
WordPress 6.3.1

Screenshot of issue: https://imgur.com/a/DhxatVA

The text box is wider than the mobile screen and it doesn’t look quite right.

Very best,

Ally.

As an Update, I have found some really old information about this issue @netweb here:https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2198

And here: Editor width addressed in CSS at patch https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933 down to 240 resolution. In some smartphones, only the text editor shows up by default.

My Redmi 9C uses a 20:9 aspect ratio screen (resolution is 720×1600).

[Robin W]

try this in the custom css of your theme

.bbpress div#ast-mobile-header.ast-mobile-header-wrap {
	display: none !important;
}

As an update. Youtube videos embed fine in the block editor when creating a new page or post on the site. The issue seems to be just with BBpress and the create topic/Reply editor which uses TinyMCE?

It would be great to be able to watch embedded videos without having to click out to youtube etc.

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

I have asked this same question myself over the last few weeks as I am busy making my BBPress forum compatible and converted to a fully funcioning mobile app.

I decided to push ahead because the support forum of wordpress itself is running on the BBpress plugin and there seems to be no signs at all of it being switched to something else (as @robin-w says)

Whilst there are hundreds of plugins that are no longer maintained, the BBpress essential plugins very much are, and support for them is absolutely excellent. ( @amauric and @codejp3 ) 🙂

I believe that the future of niche forum websites like mine are in the mobile app direction with push notifications etc to users through their smart phones. WP and BBpress is lightweight enough to work fantastic on a mobile.

The three authors I mentioned earlier are great examples of why BBpress will carry on for the foreseable future no? Thanks guys for your continued help and support!

Hi all

(This only happens when viewing my BBpress forum on a smartphone.)

When viewing a forum and scrolling down to below the forum topics to the editor, the right hand side of TinyMCE editor is off the screen by a few pixels.

When viewing a topic the TinyMCE editor fits fine on my smartphone screen.

Is the width of TinyMCE adjustable anywhere or is there some CSS I can add to fix this?

WP version 6.3.1
BBPress version 2.6.9
