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?

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 ?

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

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.

[Robin W]

thank you

put this in the custom css part of the style pack plugin

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
	background-color: transparent;
}

[Robin W]

put this in the style pack custom css or your theme’s custom css

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
	background-color: none !important;
}

[enkoes]

Hi, I recently saw this topic and it helps me solve one problem.

I can finally use this CSS to disable the grey-out effect when the topic is closed:

#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #000 !important;
}

From this previous topic also, CSS can do equally well to add [Closed] label beside the closed topic title in topic list page:

#bbpress-forums .status-closed > li.bbp-topic-title > a.bbp-topic-permalink:after {
	content: "[Closed]";
	text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 #ffffff;
	color: #ff0000;
	margin-right: 5px;
}

I wonder if we can use CSS (instead of PHP codes) to add another [Closed] label beside the topic title in single topic page. Any solution?
See https://paste.pics/N5WS0

Also, I’m still searching for ways to disable the defaulted pink font highlight when the topic is closed. Hope somebody can help.
See https://paste.pics/N8U5T

Thanks for that – very useful.

Wordpress has a bewildering set of names including username, user display name and user nicename

As far as I can see, bbpress seems to be using the user database setting for user nicename.

So can you try adding this code

add_filter( 'manage_users_columns', 'rew_add_user_nicename', 20, 1);
add_filter( 'manage_users_custom_column','rew_add_user_row', 20, 3 );

function rew_add_user_nicename($columns)  {
	$new = array();
  foreach($columns as $key => $title) {
	 $new[$key] = $title;
	 //add the 2 columns after the forum role column
    if ($key=='bbp_user_role') {
	$new['nicename'] = 'Nicename';
	}
    
  }
 return $new;
}

function rew_add_user_row($retval = '', $column_name = '', $user_id = 0) {
	if ($column_name == 'nicename') {
		$user_info = get_userdata($user_id);
		$user_nicename = $user_info->user_nicename;
		$retval = '-->'.$user_nicename.'<--';
	}
return $retval ;
}

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

This will add a column to the dashboard>users table to show you exactly what is set as the user nicename. I have enclosed it in arrows eg

–>name here<–

so you can see if there are leading or trailing spaces.

try adding that name to the moderators and see if that works?

[dozza]

@robin-w Thanks for your feedback, insight and testing on my behalf.

I’ve used the troubleshooter to run the site using 2022 theme and only bbpress. Still won’t allow me to add the user to the forum.

Also the username has the initial of firstname and lastname capitalised so it is more accurately of the format ‘Firstname. Secondname’ – i note that in the ‘all forums’ screen, the moderators columns are all displayed lowercase. So i tried adding the username in the format ‘firstname. secondname’ but to no avail.

To further narrow down the issue I successfully created a new member/user on the site with the actual username ‘Firstname. Secondname’. After upgrading their Forum role to moderator, i attempted to added them as a moderator to a forum. So i added ‘Firstname. Secondname’ (without inverted commas) into the Forum Moderators field and hit update. This then left the field with ‘firstname-lastname’ in place. So when adding the moderator it swaps the ‘dot space’ to a hyphen and makes all characters lowercase.

With this new discovery, I tried adding the original problem username back as a forum moderator, all lowercase with the ‘dot space’ replaced with a hyphen.

But it didn’t accept it.

So I’m confused now as to why it works with one new user in the same format as the old user (which doesn’t work)?

See the above testing in action here

With the new knowledge, I finally retried adding the troublesome username in lowercase with hyphen whilst in a similar troubleshooting set-up but again it didn’t accept it.

Any further thoughts?

[loftus49]

OK .. I re-read the forum rules and apparently it’s ok to put in a URL. This is the test site. There is an image on the home page with a button that says “Click Here” at the bottom. Click it and it’ll take you to the bbPress “Name Registry” attempt. https://loftorg.com
