I FOUND A SOLUTION HERE AND IT IS FIXED.

Blank content, see only username.

[kent3452]

Hi, I am using bbPress to run a forum where my users can upload contents on it.
everything was working fine until few days ago I realized that whenever I tried to click on a topic in a specific forum, Critical Error occured in WordPress. By downgrading PHP version to 7.4 from 8.0, I managed to access the topics again. However, now I am unable to see the reply’s contents neither the attachements (my users can upload file in reply as well).

Strangely, when I click EDIT in reply, I can see the reply in texts (attachments do not show though) but when I hit the Submit button, the reply box is still blank.
I checked the Replies box in WordPress admin and I can see they are correctly linked to the topic.

Can somebody help me? I have been looking through a respectful amount online but I could not find a solution 🙁

activation emails not sending. I am using smtp via a plugin called WP Mail SMTP. All emails are sending except from the bbpress ones for activating email.

[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

Quick update from WordPress (via a support ticket on a Business subscription)

BEGINS

Hey there!

I’m following up today to let you know we’ve identified the issue with bbPRess and Jetpack; our Jetpack developers have found a fix, which is currently being worked on. If all goes well with the development of this fix, we expect it to be released as early as this coming Tuesday.

We appreciate your time and effort, and thank you so much for bringing this to our attention and allowing us the opportunity to get it fixed!

It may well be the address that bbpress is sending from.

this is typically noreply@ and if this email address does not exist then many email hosts will not permit its transit through the system.

either

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

where you can amend the address and change the wording as well

or

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

add_filter('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address','my_bbp_no_reply_email');
function no_reply_email(){
    $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com'; // any email you want
    return $email;
}

and change the address

Hi and thanks once again for your response.

I do not use JetPak .. use WordFence and Akismet.

I tried the Twentytwenty theme … does not rectify the problem (just produces weird spacing and color schemes).

I tried the plugin testing – alas no joy. The problem did not correct when they were all (except bbpress) deactivated.

I’ll try the “HealthCheck & Troubleshooting” plugin you listed. Stay tuned.

[eluyawi]

I have installed bbpress, why doesn’t it send notifications by email, once you check the box and they reply to your discussion? I have forms set up, and I do get the form emails. can anyone help me?

[frenchalps]

Another update, FIXED!

Disabling JetPack Site Accelerator brings all the bbPress Forum posts back to life.

WP Dashboard > JetPack > Performance > Performance & Speed > Disable Site Accelerator

Phew 🙂

[Robin W]

ok, presume you have bbpress enabled ?

For anyone with the same problem, this appears to be a bug in BBPress. The script that is meant to fire when someone clicks the “subscribe” button (engagements.js) is only enqueued for the forum and topic post-types. When a forum or topic is embedded on any other post-type, the script is not enqueued, and the button doesn’t do anything.

A quick fix is to add this to your functions.php file, to enqueue the script whenever a forum or topic is embedded via a bbp-single-topic / bbp-single-forum shortcode:

add_filter( ‘do_shortcode_tag’,’subscription_button_fix’,10,3);
function subscription_button_fix($output, $tag){

$arr = array(‘bbp-single-topic’, ‘bbp-single-forum’);
if(!in_array($tag, $arr)){
return $output;
}
bbp_enqueue_script( ‘bbpress-engagements’, ‘js/engagements.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), true );
wp_localize_script( ‘bbpress-engagements’, ‘bbpEngagementJS’, array(
‘object_id’ => get_the_ID(),
‘bbp_ajaxurl’ => bbp_get_ajax_url(),
‘generic_ajax_error’ => esc_html__( ‘Something went wrong. Refresh your browser and try again.’, ‘bbpress’ ),
) );

return $output;
}

bbpress copes with that quite happily

[evanhgh]

ahhh you know i think i found something,
I think that block is generated by the GD bbPress Toolbox Pro Plugin

I’ll disable that functionality for now and reach out to that plugin dev to see if he can fix the bug.

Thanks for your time and help!

[Robin W]

bbpress or buddypress ?

[bernard38fr]

Le problème est fixé, avec mes remerciements : Explication : aller dans réglages pack bbpress, onglet activité récente, point n°6 mise en forme de l’activité et indiqué dans la partie à remplir “séparateur”, mettre un espace puis deux points puis un autre espace et valider.

[cassel]

What am I looking for in the Dashboard > Users? I don’t see anything about subscriptions or forum or any reference to bbpress. I did activate the “Subscriptions Management”.

[Robin W]

well this site has 7 forums with 131,555 topics. The ‘fixing wordpress’ support forum itself is powered by bbpress and that has over 700,000.

Measured in nano-seconds every topic adds to performance, but I’d suspect you’d struggle to measure any meaningful site slow down with 99.9% of sites with forums.

Ultimately it does depend on server performance and site configuration.

[loftus49]

Guess I should stop bugging you with so many questions. Really appreciate your responses. OK .. one last one:

As you know from the link (https://loftorg.com) I am using “Topics” in the “Registry” forum as the means to list individual names. How many topics can I list in bbpress before website responsiveness becomes affected?

[Robin W]

bbPress Notify (No-Spam)

will let you set this up

[Robin W]

ah, ok that should all be fine.

bbpress just uses the wordpress posts and postmeta tables (with ‘custom post types’) within your website sql database, so if you move the whole site it will move with it.

No need to split this topic since it is all one logical issue 🙂

[loftus49]

How do I move the last two entries herein to a new topic?

At the moment, both sites are essentially empty. I’ll be unpacking a “cPanel” backup of an old HTML site to the “test” site then somehow converting all the HTML pages to WP pages. I will be replacing the old dokuwiki with bbpress and manually populating the bbpress forum with about 100 entries (topics). Once all is beautiful and operative with the “test” site I’ll move it from “test.mysite.com” to “mysite.com”.

Will the bbpress forum move with the website transfer to the new site or does anything proprietary to bbpress need to be done (e.g. new SQL Database) ?

[Robin W]

ok, moving bbpress between sites can be complex.

Is the test site a mirror of the live site?

[loftus49]

Your help and suggestions were terrific. Thank you.

Now, once the bbpress site is completed, manipulated, and refined in the “test” sub-domain, how do I move it over to the active domain? I have it in ‘test.domain.com’ and will move it to ‘domain.com’.

Hello. I created two forums and wants that theirs topics be presented on two different pages. I added the shortcode [bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] on both page referencing the forum_id which topics I want present on that page. At page1 I don’t have the problem, but on page2 I see the topics from both forums. The form for entering a new topic on page 2 is ok and regularly sorts topics into forum 2, but the display on the page shows posts from both forums.

Anyone can help? I think I believe that the solution is trivial, but I’ve been stuck with it for several days.
Version of bbPress is 2.6.9 . The project is still on localhost.
