Hello

wordpress 6.1
bbpress 2.6.9

I have been using the ‘bbpress toolkit’ link to manage member/poster subscriptions to the forum as well as to the individual topics.

Today when i try to upgrade wordpress from 6 to 6.1 my site broke and i lost access to it ven through cPanel and the hosting providers clinet log in dashboard. After hours of troubleshooting found out the above mentioned plugin which hasn’t been updated in 5 years is causing the site to break. Once the plugin is disabled the site updates fine and works just as it was before.

My question is, are there any other plugins that i can use to manage member subscriptions to threads and posts? It is not a paid website but it is a member only website and the primary concern is to unsubscribe members who are no longer welcomed from getting any notifications or copies of posts/replies.

Thank you.

Recently upgraded to WP 6.1 and this plugin bbPress Advanced Statistics gives deprecation warnings when I have debug mode enabled:

The official website for the plugin seems dead now.

The warnings:

Deprecated: Required parameter $version follows optional parameter $file in /customers/e/9/c/publictalksoftware.co.uk/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/includes/core/class.utils.php on line 25

One example:

    public function __construct ( $file = '', $version ) {
        
        $this->init();

    } // End __construct ()

I understand what it means, and I see that the parameter is ot used in the function. Dos that mean we just delete the parameter?

Another example:

    public static function instance ( $file = '', $version ) {
        if ( is_null( self::$_instance ) ) {
                self::$_instance = new self( $file, $version );
        }
        return self::$_instance;
    } // End instance ()

Problem here is that the version value is being used.

Advice appreciated.

can’t tell you – this is a paid plugin and nothing to do with bbpress – you’d need to ask them

[Robin W]

just did a quick google – looks like you need to buy this

Simple Membership – bbPress Forum Integration Addon

[Robin W]

I had another go and doing one at a time and checking the front end and after enabling each one, the forum page is blank apart from having the header and footer

The only time the forum page displays correctly is when I enable the advanced custom fields plugin but unsure if that helps as I need to logout as admin to then see if solves the issue but then same happens as I’m not logged in as admin any more

I’m getting bit confused on what to do and unsure what plugin if any is causing the issue or if it’s the theme as getting quite lost to be honest as I don’t use wordpress often

ok, your issue was if I understood it that the bbpress login sent you to the wordpress login?

[Robin W]

I was going to say, do you think it could be because the bbpress plugin has only been tested up to wordpress version 5.9.5 and I am using 6.0.3?

bbpress works fine with 6.0.3

[ianhaneybs]

Thank you, I’ll try the health check plugin.

[Robin W]

ok, suspect that the membership plugin or another plugin is affecting that.

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

Looking for recommendations for a FSE (block-based) theme that is fully compatible with bbpress. Thanks everybody!

[Robin W]

I have already got simple membership plugin installed and understand bbpress can integrate with it but not having much joy with it.

generally? or just the issues below?

I want users to login to the forum to be able to create a topic which then can be approved by admin if that is possible?

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>moderation>tick and save

then in

dashboard>settings>forums set to moderate all posts, but below that only moderate topics

Can bbpress work with simple membership plugin so users don’t have to sign up again to use bbpress forum if they want to post a topic? If so how do I set it up please?

once signed in with simple membership, they should be able to do this

registration is all one.

‘For some reason when some people register they can’t log onto the other BBpress or BuddyPress portions.’

How are they registering – eg widget, wp-login etc.

[adabob]

Hello all,

I have bbpress and Buddypress installed and the problem I’m having is the difference between the WP registration, buddypress registration and bbpress registration. Do they all end up being the same user in WP? For some reason when some people register they can’t log onto the other BBpress or BuddyPress portions.

How can I trouble shoot or resolve this or make it so there is ONE registration and one user?

Thank you

Hi,
In version 2.6.9 of bbpress, the normal user in the forums can not choose attributes such as bold or the color at the font. Can this be set in the user profiles in buddypress or elsewhere?
As admin the attributes can be used.

bbpress cannot tell the subject matter, so either you don’t allow uploads or you risk users uploading unsuitable images

[newwper3]

Hi,

My Bbpress forum allow users/visitors to embed and upload images,
for security reasons, I would like to prohibit users/visitors from uploading nude images.
Is it possible to prohibit users/visitors from uploading nude images?

After installing a plugin among those proposed by wordpress as an update, I can no longer access the blog and this message appears

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_installing() in D:\inetpub\webs\ramonfonst-schermait\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\core\options.php on line 272

how can i recover access?

[Robin W]

I’m not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out here. I can’t remember fully, but I have it in the back of my mind that there is an issue with that many forums, but don’t have time to set up 79 test forums to find out what it was.

Then simplest solution would be to amend the page to show all the forums

install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display

and set item 11

I have read on here all day and tried some additional css doing amongst other things that have been suggested…I cannot for the life of me get rid of the bbPress Forum title on the following page…
https://hookdgear.com/forums
Any suggestions? I did not initially create a forum page as I simply went through the forums section in wordpress to create the forum layout…I create a page with a permalink to /forums to see if that helped but the title is still there…thank you in advance for your help

[advantagen]

I’m using bbPress to add forum functionality to an online university that wants a dedicated forum for each of their 79 courses.

I’ve set up one general forum, one “Course-Specific Conversation” parent forum, and then course-specific child forums under that, and the problem I’m having is that there simply aren’t any pagination controls for me to navigate through those child forums.

Thinking maybe it was a theme conflict, I changed to Twenty Twenty, and the controls still aren’t shown.

This seems pretty basic, so I assume I must be missing something.

Has anyone else come across this? Any advice on how to resolve it?

[adabob]

I have Buddypress and BBpress installed and getting a hang of how these plugins work.
When I create a Forum or Topic I get a blank page after saving.

Any suggestions to troublehoot this?

bbpress just uses worpdress posts, so it should work.

BUT ensure you can restore if it does something funny !!

[veteranhdesigns]

DISREGARD THIS TOPIC. THROUGH COMBINED EFFORT OF MOST OF THE BBPRESS PLUGINS, RECONFIGURING ROLES AND CLONING BBPRESS ROLES, SETTING USERS TO PARTICIPANT ROLES FOR FORUM AND THEN ASSIGNING EXTRA ROLES FOR EACH GROUP.

A WORKAROUND AT LEAST, NOT VERY EFFICIENT BUT I CAN MAKE IT WORK THROUGH USE OF MEMBERPRESS MEMBERS PLUGIN, BBP STYLE PACK, CHILD THEME WIZARD, ELEMENTOR AND A FEW OTHER PLUGINS RECONFIGURED.
