Hello everyone,

our provider made a php update from v7.4 to v8.1 (because EOL for php v7.4) the days and after this our homepage wasn’t reachable with the error message in the topic.

Via FTP i deactivated all installed plugins until the error came back and i found out, that this error comes from bbPress.

We have installed:

• php v8.1
• WordPress v6.1.1
• bbPress v2.6.9
• bbp style pack v5.3.5
• bbPress Toolkit v1.0.12
• theme Origamiez v1.3.5

If you need further information please let me know. The forum isn’t public, only for members.

Regards

Filout

I’m getting a 502 error when attempting to use the search functionality. I’ve tried the typical stuff – deactivating all plugins except bbPress, resetting Permalinks, and repairing forums, but still getting the error.
The site is running the stock Astra theme; I tried switching to 2023 and 2022 but when I do, the forum root page doesn’t display. I can’t see it being a theme issue, though, not with Astra.
Any thoughts?

I had bbpress forums set up and working properly on my website until about 2 months ago when emails stopped being sent out with new posts. Now whenever someone posts something, my users do not get an email about it. No idea what changed or how to fix it. Any ideas?

[Robin W]

ok i’d suggest the standard fault finding to see where the issue lies viz:

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

I have both bbp style pack and GD bbPress Tools installed could this be the issue?

I just paid for GD bbPress Toolbox Pro and it had a Fatal error trying to install so it didn’t get installed.

Should I remove these two plugins if I’m going to use GD bbPress Toolbox Pro?
bbp style pack REMOVE?
GD bbPress Tools REMOVE?

I have the formatting and linking available on the BBPress but when adding links I still get the Error: Your reply cannot be created at this time.

Any ideas why these POSTS are being BLOCKED?

Hello bbPress Experts,

I just installed BBPress and created a New user account subscriber/participant. I tried to make my first POST to a Topic and got the following error:

Error: Your reply cannot be created at this time.

Here’s where I tried to make the post: https://www.taxfreehaven.info/forums/topic/recommend-new-topics-to-our-keymaster/

Any ideas what I may have done to Block making posts?

Thanks
JP

this might help explain, but of course doesn’t fix

I need these pages to display correct as I’m going to start membership with all users being subscribed to all forums. Then I’m adding bbPNNS Memberpress bridge so they can manage forum/topic subs themselves afterwards.

[dozza]

Hi I have a Memberpress membership site which also uses bbPress. It uses a child theme of Divi from Elegantthemes. I’ve taken it to staging for some additional dev and have noticed that a collection of dynamic pages created by bbPress have a broken/incorrect layout like the attached.

The specific URLs i have found so far are:

…/forums/view/no-replies/
…/forums/view/popular/
…/forums/users/brian-sbm/
…/forums/users/username/topics/
…/forums/users/username/replies/
…/forums/users/username/engagements/
…/forums/users/username/favorites/
…/forums/users/username/subscriptions/
…/forums/users/username/edit/

php: 7.4.33
Wordpress: 6.1.1
bbPress: 2.6.9

[Robin W]

so can you just clarify that with just bbpress plugin, elementor and astra theme – this happens?

Hi! When I use the search function on the forums page, or try to visit a search URL, it goes to an infinite loop which crashes the site. I have the latest version of everything, wp, Elementor, Astra and bbpress. Any ideas?

[Robin W]

simply asking the same question twice will not get you any further, as I have said :

looks like you are using the cloux theme which claims to be bbpress integrated.

I suggest you reach out to the theme authors for support

Yes, I realize that. But the main issue is what you see on my examples link (trying to get a more sophisticated topic editing system).

In the meantime, though, I’ve found that there are plug-ins for bbpress of which I was unaware (I thought it was entirely self-contained) which may address my main concerns…!

Thanks again for the quick reply. I think I’ll be better off once I manage to uninstall the other plug-in so I’m clear as to what is what.

[Robin W]

bbpress works on bbpress roles – blocked, spectator, participant, moderator, keymaster

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

[kfeuerherm]

WP 6.1.1 installed bbpress and bbp-styles to test it out as a wpforo alternative.

Apologies if this is a daft question….

I am wondering whether they are conflicting…?

• when signed in as administrator, I can do New topic from the menu, and have all the usual HTML formatting options, so can use headers, links, etc. at the push of a button
• when signed in as an editor, I get only the vanilla options I see here, having to enter HTML tags.

So I’m wondering whether the first option is actually ‘borrowed’ from wpforo and not actually available in bbpress? or is there some way to enable such a thing?

Illustration here: (hope I’ve done it right, not a big HTML user…)

Visual examples

NOTE: at the moment, I am unable to network deactivate wpforo thus cannot uninstall to see what happens. Have a ticket out on that.

Hi there, what should I do to maka the profile page full width?

I actually found a similar topic posted by another participant profile full width however no answer is given.

[Robin W]

bbpress works fine with 6.1.1, but in itself doesn’t like block themes.

If you are using a block theme, then this additional plugin adds that.

bbp style pack

and also adds lots of options to style and functionality which you will probably want.

The latest release of style pack has multisite functionality, but we are just ironing out a final few bugs, so I’d wait for bbp-style-pack 5.2.8 before having it in a live site
