I’m having an issue with bbPress where if I click a forum, it will return me to the index rather than taking me to the forum to show the topics.

You can see it here; http://www.hypothermia-guild.no/forum/

Any ideas what’s going on?

Thanks in advance,
Nick.

Sorry, didn’t take the time to read the whole error. Was just pissed that I was getting it. But I disabled the autoposter plugin.

So the results are that I no longer get the second error, but I am still getting the first. Before asking here I had disabled all plugins, except BBpress of course, and was getting the error.

I’m seeing the same thing as originally reported by @mfiguerasma.

I first noticed it when my non-admin user (TestUser) *suddenly* could no longer see a topic that he had formerly been able to see. In my case, I am using sub-forums. (See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2191#comment:17 )

I have a BP Group called GroupH.
The group forum root is a type=category group called “Group Forums”
Subforum1-GroupH is under the forum “GroupH”.

GroupH is the group forum, i.e the one you see in a the drop-down in the settings where you select which forum is associated with the BP Group.

So, it’s:

Group Forums
GroupH
Subforum1-GroupH
Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH

All of the forums and subforums have a Visibility setting of Private (in the admin settings screens).

So Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH was accessible by my TestUser one minute and then wasn’t the next minute. I knew that I hadn’t changed the visibility settings on my forums or anything else, but I realized that what I had done (thinking it was merely “for good measure”) was to run:
Tools->bbPress->Recalculate private and hidden forums

I recreated my original scenario, verified that TestUser could access Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH, and then used Updraft to take snapshots of my database before running “Recalculate private and hidden forums” calculate again. Sure enough, after that “repair”, it was broken again.

So I debugged it. This repair tool kicks off bbp_repair_forum_visibility() which updates two options in the options table:
_bbp_private_forums
_bbp_hidden_forums

These are pre-calculated, cached, lists of forums.

If the forum_id for GroupH appears in _bbp_hidden_forums, then TestUser won’t be able to access Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH. Before running this “repair”, the forum_id for GroupH does not appear in that list. After the repair it does.

So, how is the forum_id for GroupH getting into this list of hidden forums when the post_status on the forum is most definitely private? (Verified by looking at its row in the posts table)

It’s getting there precisely by the means @mfiguerasma showed.

When the query is being run to get a list of all “hidden” forums, in order to create _bbp_hidden_forums, it invokes the pre_get_posts filter. bbPress uses that filter bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility() to change the query_vars.

Notice what’s happening here:

(1) The WP_Query is saying “I am trying to find a list of *hidden* forums” (I have my own reasons for why I want a list of hidden forums.)

(2) But bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility() seems to be second-guessing. I receives query_vars with post_type=hidden, but then the way its logic works is to say: “What are various post statuses that this user has permission to see. Ah, this user can see both hidden and private ones, so I’ll update the query_vars to include post_types of both hidden and private.”

I think the logic of bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility() is exactly backwards. It’s trying to include all of the post_types that the user can access. But that’s not why it has been invoked. It’s been invoked in the process of simply creating a list of hidden forums for _bbp_hidden_forums and its messing that up by including the private post_status.

(3) So what the WP_Query gets back is a list of forum_ids for all hidden *and private* groups. And that’s the list that ultimately gets stored in _bbp_hidden_forums.

So this “repair” actually breaks my forums.

If you simply remove this bbPress filter before doing the repair, it seems to produce the correct result. My TestUser can access Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH both before and after the repair when we remove the filter:
remove_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility’,4);

I’ve just performed a clean installation of WP 4.5.3 and installed Version 2.5.10 of bbPress plugin. I am currently using the Twenty Fourteen theme.

I installed bbPress by following the instructions here on bbPress.org:

1. I created an empty page named “Forums” using the default forum root slug heading (i.e., ‘forums’).
2. Then I added the empty Forums page to the site’s main menu.

The only trouble that I’m having so far is: The “Forums” menu item [in the Secondary, Left-hand menu] isn’t highlighted when viewing the Forums page. I’d begin digging around to see if I can fix the problem myself but – without knowing anything about the complexities of WordPress – I’m not even sure where to begin debugging this. Is the menu’s dynamic functionality driven directly by WordPress? By the Twenty Fourteen theme? Or by the bbPress plugin?

Could someone please tell me how this is achieved? Or maybe tell me how to fix this?

I am just getting set up with BBpress and am in the process of creating the forums.

So I am running into problems.

The first error I get is

I click on OK to clear the error then click publish again then I get this error on a white screen:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Post as array in /srv/disk11/2110213/www/jimandms.com/wp-content/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/inc/nxs_functions_adv.php on line 155

I can go pull up the forum list and the forum that I just created is there. But I would still much rather not see any errors at all, of course.

My website is http://jimandms.com if you would like to pay a visit for some reason.

Thanks for reading!

sorry I only use bbpress.

Try it with just bbpress and without buddypress.

Otherwise I suspect it is theme related

[Robin W]

bbpress doesn’t as far as I know rely on any particular admin account.

But have you set the new admin user as ‘keymaster’ in users?

[flashwolf]

hello if i keep bbpress and buddypress ans desactivated all the other
when i click on one theme of the forum
it is strange…
i obtain all the list of my forums but like code

for the theme i use kleo child template
when i choose “Twenty Fifteen”
same problem not fix

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and buddypress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

and when i am in the member area of buddypress, i have the icon “Forums” and i cant open subject if i can do it

so where is the problem

Thx for your help

[mjpecp]

I was having trouble with bbPress so decided to uninstall then reinstalll it. Now, though it’s activated, I can’t find a ‘Forums’ link under ‘Settings’ in the back end side menu; nor any other link in that menu to access all the forums, nor can I find ‘+ create forum’ in the admin bars. So the plugin is activated, but I can’t use it to create any forums. Does anyone have an idea ow why?

Could it be connected to the fact that I deleted the user#1 “Admin”? (replaced by a new admin account)? I’ve read some plugins might need that account to operate…

Thanks for your helo!

How can I rename this page title http://prnt.sc/c6uex8 ? From “Forums Archive” to something else.
I really tried everything.. from adding filters.. to edit the core of BBpress Templates and etc… nothing worked. I don’t want to create a page and add the shortcode in it. Please help me find a different way. I have read everything in internet but nothing solves the problem…

[Stephen Edgar]

I always forget GD-bbPress-Tools also has a quote thing :/

The quote plugin I mentioned does have an issue sadly, so go with Rob’s suggestion 🙂

[Robkk]

@maruthemany Use this plugin instead.

Problem solved! I have contacted Zippy courses, it was the theme translation. The theme overrides bbpress plugin translations so it must be translated itself.

I have updated the theme translation files and it works.

Thanks a lot!!

[Stephen Edgar]

You might also be able to look yourself. In the zippy theme directory, e.g. wp-content/themes/zippy you might find a bbpress folder with some bbPress templates located inside, if that is the case then maybe the Zippy version of form-reply.php is out of date.

[pleyades38]

I appreciate your help, thanks!

I have compared the files and they match. I can see it is working in your installation so I think there might be a problem with Zippy courses integration. They say in their documentation that their theme/plugin integrates with bbpress. I am writing them and I tell you.

[Stephen Edgar]

I just setup a new site with WP 4.5.3 and bbPress 2.5.10 es_ES

Everything is translated for me: https://cloudup.com/ckbF2DGSPEl

Does the theme you are using include custom bbPress templates?

It looks like there might be an issue with the file form-reply.php

The file can be found in: templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

It should match: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.10/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

Can you check the above for me please?

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the screenshots, they are a big help 🙂

The “before” screenshot has lots of untranslated strings, Topic, Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2, Participant, Edit, Move etc etc

Wheres most of the above are now translated in your “after” screenshot, I see 4 strings untranslated though: Reply to, Notify me of follow-up replies via email, Tags: and Submit

Those 4 strings all appear to be translated correctly, e.g https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=93987&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=3551506

p.s. Spam isn’t translated, Spam appears to be Spam in any language 😉

I’ll dig around some more and see what I can find

[Stephen Edgar]

This is strange, bbPress is 100% translated into Spanish

https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/es/default/wp-plugins/bbpress

Here are the strings with voice, so they should work

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=Voices&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

Can you try removing any .po/.mo files from the languages folder that you mentioned in your original post please?

[Stephen Edgar]

No, there hasn’t been anything like that released for Xenforo

I’d suggest forking this repo though: https://github.com/CybMeta/kunena-attachments-to-bbpress

[subrat4dc]

Hi! Robkk,

I have aleady tried your suggestion before posting it to bbpress forum but no solution till now.

🙁

[maruthemany]

Hi there,

I’m slowly putting together a bbPress forum and have been researching the best ways to quote replies. Many of the threads I’ve seen on the topic are old, some pointing to outdated plugins; others point to trying custom development work. In general, it’s left me wondering how to go about enabling quoted replies.

Is anyone in the same boat? Do any of the mods have any wisdom to share? I’d prefer an updated plugin -type solution, but I’ve also done a bit of web dev and a fair bit of Python, so I’m willing to put in the work and code a solution if need be–I just don’t know where to start.

Thanks in advance for your help,
-maruthemany

[grafician]

This issue is still here, buddypress social with bbpress forum: if we filter order with fresh posts first then after a reply redirect goes to last page instead of first, where I can insert go to page 1 or something like this?

[Robin W]

Have you installed the genesis extend plugin?
