@hardel The fixes that were recommended in the ticket you linked to are pretty-much identical to what is now in 2.6.14.

If that worked for you then, 2.6.14 should work now, but only as long as you aren’t still running the old temporary fix code at the same time.

(I’ve tested a few different ways & installs, and the latest BuddyPress & bbPress are working together as intended for me.)

The URLs being generated are different from what I originally posted four years ago.

They both still look the same to my eyes, but I will believe you 🤣

If I understand you correctly, you use the ‘code’ option

eg

<b>
some words
</b>

So you type all your ‘code’ and then highlight it, and click the code button.

Hello,

I’ve searched, but I don’t even know what to call what I’m looking for. You know that toolbar above the post? It can bold and italicize, etc. I would like a list of the html tags, if that is what they are called, that can be used within a post. I am creating a forum that will have a lot of YAML and Python code snippets and I want them boxed, or separated some how. I want to create a sticky post showing these codes, what they look like, and how they render…but, I can’t figure out how to post the html tag without it rendering. Sorry if I offended anyone with this basic question, but as I said…I don’t know what to search for.

How do I add the <b>You may use these HTML tags and attributes:</b> to the bottom of my post page? That may solve my problem.

Yes, Mingle is still working. I set 10 replies per page to accurately correlate posts to pages on both forums. The number of posts matches.

I checked the order of the posts from page 1 to page 7 until I found the wrong link – it’s now on the same page 7, in the last post (#120847 – “Бормотунчик – Mitsume ga Tooru”). Up to that point, all posts are present and in the same order as in Mingle.

[qiwichupa]

Right here on this page

https://garage.qiwichupa.net/bbforums/topic/stream-records/page/8

the link in the top post (#120964) leads to the previous page, the links in the following posts are correct, but at the very bottom (starting from #121101) the links lead to the next page.

[qiwichupa]

Thanks for trying to help! I followed your advice, but unfortunately none of the above helped. Despite a different theme and disabling plugins the page is generated similarly. Changing and saving permalink settings didn’t lead to any result either (from what I understand, bbpress uses hardcoded settings to generate links).

Maybe there’s some way to recreate a topic from scratch by copying post by post from the old one into it? So that the bbpress engine is fully responsible for the process (still think the problem might be a result of incorrect import from Mingle). Doing it manually is too time consuming =\

[finallyfoundausernamenotusedbefore]

OK, have rumbled it rather quicker than expected. There is a code snippet to place the “Contact” link in the forum – I tried deactivating it but could not. After several activations and deactivations of “Front End PM” it seems to have turned that off for me and all seems to be working now as it should.

Fingers crossed . . .

John

PS – and thanks for being so patient with me, and forgive me also for initially blaming the upgrade.

[finallyfoundausernamenotusedbefore]

Doh! Lawdy me, how stupid can I be? Deepest apologies.

I do want to retain the private groups, so please forget that side of things.

It is “Front End PM” that I want to remove, and disabling that has re-introduced the fatal error on the forum pages.

The debugging reports:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function fep_current_user_can() in /home/signalbo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/code-snippets/php/snippet-ops.php(584) : eval()’d code:5 Stack trace: #0 /home/signalbo/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): {closure}(”) #1 /home/signalbo/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #2 /home/signalbo/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /home/signalbo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php(56): do_action(‘bbp_theme_after…’) #4 /home/signalbo/public_html/wp-includes/template.php(812): require(‘/home/signalbo/…’) #5 /home/signalbo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php(103): load_template(‘/home/signalbo/…’, false) #6 /home/signalbo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php(41): bbp_locate_template(Array, true, false) #7 /home/signalbo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ in /home/signalbo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/code-snippets/php/snippet-ops.php(584) : eval()’d code on line 5

so I understand from that the error lies with the code-snippets plugin although as yet I’m not quite sure where to start on that. I’ll give it some thought but if you have any suggestions they wuld be appreciated.

John

[Robin W]

1. yes, this is the intended behavior
2. yes, that behavior is set by a function which is called by an action, so we can remove it, and do something else.

so untested, but this should work

remove_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'bbp_forum_enforce_blocked', 1  );

add_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'rew_forum_enforce_blocked', 1  );

function rew_forum_enforce_blocked() {

	// Bail if not logged in or keymaster
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() || bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) {
		return;
	}

	// Set 404 if in bbPress and user cannot spectate
	if ( is_bbpress() && ! current_user_can( 'spectate' ) ) {
		//DON'T DO THE SET 404 ie this is the code that the default bbp_forum_enforce_blocked does
		//bbp_set_404();
		// DO SOMETHING ELSE HERE!
	}
}

What the something else is, you will need to decide

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

3. I can’t say what the original authors intentions were, but I suspect yes

[hollandnumerics]

I have 1 success to report thanks to your WP_DEBUG suggestion:

• There were error messages being generated by bbpress Simple View Counts in debug.log, so I deactivated the plugin, and now the critical error messages are no longer seen when viewing topics.

The saving of updates to large topics containing table tags is still not working.

Not sure if these are relevant, but I’ve seen these messages about null parameters in functions.php:

[06-Jul-2025 14:51:35 UTC] PHP Deprecated:  strpos(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($haystack) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 7360
[06-Jul-2025 14:51:35 UTC] PHP Deprecated:  str_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2195

Any assistance will be gratefully received, as my PHP knowledge is limited.

[Robin W]

do come back if you are able top tell me the error codes, quite happy to try and help further

[titice]

I figured out my mistake. I installed the plugin, created a menu http://www.domain/forums, but did not create a page with the forum’s name and shortcode. Once, everything worked.
Hope will help…

[Robin W]

ok, so this on my test site with just bbpress and style pack, using admin and keymaster roles publishes fine

<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
hello
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

do you still get a critical error with this combination, and if so I still need the exact error it produces

[Robin W]

ok, so in the backend if I create a topic with a title of ‘test’ and this content

<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
hello
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Then it publishes all fine.

Does that work for you, and if so, can you give me exact steps to recreate problem.

Also able to edit that topic so changed hello to goodbye and it updated fine

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[farrahhenleyeducation]

THANK YOU! Such an easy fix. I unchecked theme support and everything is working! If it had been a snake it would have bit me! That’s what happens when you have spent 12 hours staring at code! LOL! Thanks @robin-w

[Earl_D]

Spent the better part of the day looking for a plug-in or code that supports mentions in BBPress topics and replies. I found lots of references to plugins that don’t work anymore and tried code that does work either.

Does anyone have viable alternatives.
Thanks

[scmsteve]

Thanks @robin-w, that is perhaps more stable than modifying the plugin code directly.

[Robin W]

Until bbpress fixes this, the following code will correct

add_filter ('bbp_blacklist_keys' , 'rew_disallowed_keys') ;

function rew_disallowed_keys () {
	$moderation = trim( get_option( 'disallowed_keys' ) );
return $moderation ;
}

If you are using

bbp style pack

a new version incorporating this fix will be released shortly and the fix will automatically be applied – with an option in bbPress bug fixes tab to turn that off if you don’t want it, or are using you own code

[Robin W]

you are correct, and yes I had raised a ticket to fix that option when it was called blacklist_keys, but the wrong change was made

I have raised a new ticket to add it to the list, but bbpress releases new version at quite long intervals. (I am not a bbpress author)

In the meantime you can either leave your change in and make a note to refresh on new bbpress versions, or there are some hooks to skip moderation and maybe add a new version of the code – I’ll take a look at that soon

[scmsteve]

We had a rash of spam coming into our form today and we were confused because even after adding keywords in to the “Disallowed Comment Keys” in WordPress we were still seeing posts making it through to the forums that contained words we put into that list.

I think I found a bug in bbPress, and man, it must be rather longstanding… I found a post in the forum from about two years ago that talked about the reworking of the blacklist to using the disallow list [or that the name of the list had changed], and maybe this crept in at that time.

Here is the code:

bbpress/includes/common/functions.php:
866 // Strict mode uses WordPress “blacklist” settings
867 if ( true === $strict ) {
868 $hook_name = ‘blacklist’;
869 $option_name = ‘disallow_keys’;

In actuality, the key name in the options table is ‘disallowed_keys’.

I changed the code on our site and it seems to have stopped the flood. Would you take a look and see if I am correct about this? If not, please let me know and I will revert our copy and apologize for the false alarm. 🙂

Thanks!
Steve

[Robin W]

sql not my strong suit, but that code looks as though it does all that it needs to.

[Ricsca2]

I’m cleaning up an old abandoned forum…
It has over 60,000 members but few are real users and have written posts.
Is there a way to delete all users who have not written posts?
Chatgpt wrote me this script and it seems to have worked but if anyone has another safer and tested method I prefer it.
Thanks

DELETE u, um
FROM wp_users u
LEFT JOIN wp_usermeta um ON u.ID = um.user_id
LEFT JOIN wp_posts p ON u.ID = p.post_author AND p.post_type IN ('topic', 'reply')
WHERE p.ID IS NULL;

[Robin W]

that is because Kadence does it’s own

you can take out kadence breadcrumbs using

.kadence-breadcrumbs {
	display: none !important;
}

or the bbpress breadcrumbs using

#bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb {
	display: none !important;
}

Choice is yours !!

[Robin W]

that should have worked, but never mind, try this

go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Custom CSS

and add this

#comments {
	display: none !important;
}
