Hello, we have been using the bbpress forum for some time.

since he didn’t show new posts, we installed bbpress unread pencil.
Unfortunately, the “unread button” doesn’t work and I would have to click through all 18,000 posts.

then we installed bbp style pack. the functions are great. only if i leave this plugin active my forum works very very slowly. only when I disable it does it run smoothly. is there another plugin that doesn’t show my old posts as unread?
Thank you,
regards Markus

If you have deactivated bbpress, then the error cannot show as this is a bbpress function, where are you seeing these errors – if in a log, then are you sure the log is being cleared before each test

Hi, I couldn’t find Widget in Appearance in my WordPress 5.9. This version of WordPress has apparently shifted to block based editor which eliminated Widget in Appearance. May I know how am I going to design bbpress sidebar if we can’t use Widget? I also downloaded bbPress WP Tweaks, it seems that we really can’t do anything without Widget in Appearance.

Further info update:

Hi, after doing further testing, I’m still getting an error. I deactivated youzify. Then, I deactivated bbpress and buddypress but still getting an error. I am not too familiar with the files and coding but I opened the files where the errors are indicatd in the above error message I posted. If anyone is familiar and sees an error, I would really appreciate the heads up. Probably a long shot but thought I’d try. Thanks!

First file:

this is the code showing in the above file currently:

I can definitely guarentee it is not the theme, switched to twentytwenty, switched to a user with just the subscriber role and I am seeing the same edit button. I talked with the theme devs and they believe this has something to do with bbpress, I cannot find a plugin that is causing the issue. If I need to get an admin at bbpress access to our website I can no problem but this is a big issue for us.

It mentions buddypress and youzify. I have both plugins if that helps.
Thanks so much for the quick response!

likes and shares are not part of bbpress

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

Hi, I’m hoping someone can help me as my host directed me to contact the plugin directly. Any interaction made on my site with the bbpress forum will result in a critical error. I’m not sure what is causing the conflict. I have the bbpress private groups plugin installed as well.

Error Details
=============
An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 62 of the file. Error message: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function bbp_format_buddypress_notifications(), 5

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there any way to fix it? I think it happens whenever someone tries to click “subscribe” or “notify me of follow-up replies via email”

Thanks in advance for any input you can give!

[deborahdavidson]

When logged into our forums and using the search function, if there are say 130 results, 15 show correctly on the first page but when you click onto the second page it looks like a blank page but if you scroll down the page header is there (although the format is corrupted) and then the rest of the results show below this. This is the same for the subsequent pages but if you click to go back to the first page of results, it then shows correctly again. I haven’t edited the site recently, so this is a bit out of the blue.

Many thanks!

I totally get that you are not an author… Your bbp Style Pack is the first plugin I added to my install.

My site is a gathering of sports fans. So we have a lot of threads that get very big. I do a few things since I just moved over from a phpBB board. I first took some topics that were several years old and had thousands of replies and first split them up. Only keeping the newer posts. Then took the older thread and put it in a holding area. Then I break them down in to smaller pieces so I can delete them. This is the part that is taking forever to do.

This is sort of a first time clean up of the old phpBB board after I imported it to bbPress. So once I get through that, I can see a time where I am not deleting old threads as much.

But for the long haul, I can see where I would regularly close threads and want to delete them. So I like how I can just put topics in a “holding” forum that only I can see. Then if you have a way through your plugin that I can enter a topic ID for deletion would work perfect!

[Robin W]

All – let me just clarify that I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen who helps out here, I am not a bbpress author !!

@craigcotner & @iqfy- trashing topics or replies calls a standard WordPress function which checks for comments and media on each post before trashing. This involves a database lookup to check whether anything in those tables needs deleting and it is this that seems to be taking the time and making you both time out. Topics and replies don’t have comments or media that is attached in that way, so these steps are not needed.

Now trashing a reply is fairly easy, replies don’t hold any data that needs referencing elsewhere that we need to worry about.

But Topics have engagements and subscriptions to be gone through.

so if I wrote some code to allow you to delete a numbered topic, this could use a quicker method to permanently delete all the replies, and then use the proper function to delete the topic.

And as long as the topic or reply it is not latest activity, then we can maybe skip the step that needs to recalculate what the lastest activity now needs to be.

That should prevent timeouts I hope.

SO 2 things here

1. any topic/reply being got rid of should not be the ‘latest activity’ in the forum – but I’m guessing if the topic is still getting replies and therefore ‘hot’ then you would not be deleting it
2. this would be deleting it a numbered topic at a time, so you would look up the topic and then in the dashboard there would be an option to enter that topic number to trash it.

Does that sound as if it would work for you?

@jimmyt53 – not sure how easily I’d be able to fix that, but I’ll think about it as I progress. so

1. how would you want to pick topics for deletion – by ‘older than’ presumably? and
2. just from one forum or across all forums?
3. again could not be a topic or reply where it is latest activity

Feedback before I start code something that doesn’t help would be great 🙂

and from all – are we talking about permanently deleting – ie reduce database size, or just trashing – ie stopping people seeing, but retaining the ability to restore later?

[mrentropy]

I realize this topic is more than six years old, but I’ve been attempting to achieve similar behavior, and adding the following code in a custom plug-in seems to work. I have a taxonomy of “ideacategory” and I’m able to create a bbPress view called “ideacat” that filters all of the topics where the category term is equal to “24-hour-market-watch.”

function idea_register_custom_views() {
		
	bbp_register_view(
		'ideacat',
			esc_html__( 'Idea Category', 'bbpress' ),
			apply_filters( 'bbp_register_view_ideacat', array(
			'tax_query' => array(
				array(
					'taxonomy' => 'ideacategory',
					'field' => 'slug',
					'terms' => array( '24-hour-market-watch' )
				)
			),
			'show_stickies' => false
			)
		) );

}

add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'idea_register_custom_views' );

Hey! I am working on syncing my staging site to my production. We have over 4,000 post in our BBPress plug in. Is there anyway I can export that data from my production site then import it again when I push staging to production. Otherwise I will loose 2 months of forum posts.

Thanks in advance!

[sruddy]

Thanks I always get the two mixed up. I’m changing it to WP.org hosted by InMotion, same as my site.

I am in contact with the plugin developer Aspen Grove Studios for plugin Image Upload for bbPress Pro. The Jetpack is confirmed as the culprit. However I have not solved the issue of image size in the posts. I think it may have to do with I have hidden the sidebar on the forums pages but the bbPress plugin doesn’t;’t recognize the additional space. I reaching for straws. 🙂

try this in your custom css

	padding: 5px 25px !important;
}

[sruddy]

I just got done with jetpack support. They told me

Jetpack is a required plugin, and your site will not operate properly without it. This tells me there is a plugin conflict with BBPress.

You would need to contact BBPress support for assistance. Their support site is here. https://bbpress.org/forums/

[sruddy]

No I paid for, Image Upload for bbPress Pro. Using the healthcheck plugin you suggested confirmed the problem was due to Jetpack plugin. It turns out I can’t turn pack off and wordpress.org controls the settings.

I thought the tabs were supposed to be there by default. I guess not. I am brand new to bbPress.

Just to Clarify, I have quite a few other plugins on the site. The bbPress plugin is just one part of the website and is a recent addition. The bbPress plugin was 100% default but it seems other plugins affect this text area in bbPress.

On the backup test website I was using as a test site, it looks like the tabs were there from the bbPress style plugin I installed which was only on the test site but not the main suite. I forgot I installed that…. but had never used it. It was only on the test site.

For the test site I just did the following to test.

I disabled the bbPress style plugin. It then only had the Visual Text tool bar and was stuck in Visual text mode (which I don’t want because I need to use HTML).

I then disabled the bbPress style plugin and also disabled all plugins except bbPress itself. Then it was in Text edit mode with no tool bars at all and no tabs at all.

I then re-enabable the bbPress style plugin so the only plugins on the site activated were bbPress and the bbPress style plugin. Then there was the text tool bar (not the visual tool bar), but no tabs.

I then re-enabled all other plugins. Now it has the tabs which switch between the Visual toolbar and the Text tool bar. So it seems one of the other plugins, unrelated to bbPress is adding the Visual Tool bar which also adds it into bbPress too. I’m not sure which one because I didn’t test one by one.

So that will work for me. I now added the bbPress style plugin to the main site and I have tabs and the text Editor I need. Other users can use the Visual if they want.

I didn’t realize a another plugin could change what happens inside of a different plugin. I guess WordPress can get convoluted with lots of moving parts. I may go back and try to figure out exactly which plugin adds the extra tool bar. But I like it to have both so it works fine as is now.

[Robin W]

ok so you are using a plugin to upload images – yes?

If so is it this

bbPress Multi Image Uploader

or something else?

[Robin W]

My bbPress install is 100% default. There is no custom styling at all. I haven’t made any changes to the settings.

ok, so bbpress without anything else does not have the ‘visual/text’ options, so what is adding these please.
