Hello!

I don’t know whether my site has had this from the beginning or not, since I haven’t used <!-- nextpage-> before, but…

Paging works on normal pages (post_type=page), but on forums paging causes the “too many redirects” error (even with a post with just text, no links, no images).

My site has a DV certificate from the web host provider (they took care of everything), Settings → General has the same https address for WP and the site.

WP 5.4 and bbPress 2.6.4

[Robin W]

ok, this could take some debugging !

firstly in dashboard>replies how many replies do you have?

can you copy the

All (1,090) | Mine (129) | Published (1,089) | Pending (1) | Bin (1) | Spam (2)

answer into this thread

Hi @robin-w

RThanks for your latest bbp updates. I have activated your new bug fix check box and removed my code from functions.php and I can still split topics. Woo hoo!

[devansh1995]

hey robin .. nice to see you man. in past weeks i went through lot of bbprees forum topics & found your comments so useful. Even above code that i shared is suggested by you only years ago. Thanks a lot again. it worked like a charm. God bless man.

[Robin W]

try changing the argument line

if (($args['context'] == 'reply' || $args['context'] == 'topic') && $post_content == '') $output....etc.

Hello,

after about 3 years of using bbPress without any issues, we have an issue with the index page – the standard one that is specified in settings -> forum is not working. There is just the header and the footer displayed from the theme, no content at all.

When I create a new page using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index], it is working fine. And all the threads and posts as well, they work fine on the original URLs. So it is really just the index page.

I haven’t done any changes in the forum in the last year or even more.

It is password protected, happy to share the password via a direct message.

Thanks,

Jan

Hi, if someone could assist I would appreciate it.

I have a new bbPress install here: https://classthink.com/forums/forum/microsoft/

I’ve created a new page with the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode here: https://classthink.com/forums/

But when I visit https://classthink.com/forums/ all I get is the Forums Archive.

It’s my — possibly incorrect — understanding that if you create a page with the same address as the forum slug, it should redirect to the page (in this case the forum index) rather than the archive.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

[Solitary_bee]

Hello all,
I have been running BBpress for more than three of years, but started getting feedback that ‘Participants’ could no longer post or reply a month ago.
The user error message gives me no clue as to what’s behind the issue ‘ERROR your reply/post cannot be created’, and there’s nothing in the settings that gives a clue either.

I paid up to get ‘Pro tools’ to contribute something financially to the developer pot, but found no new clues in the tools either.

So this morning I thought I would chance a deactivation of the plugin and reinstall.

The moment I pressed deactivate, I got the message in the title of the post. My entire site is out of action – nothing public except the error message in the title. I can’t access the wp-admin only the FTP, but what to do? My site is out completely.
I believe I am up to date on all WP software (as flagged by the WP admin zone)… and anyway, I cannot offer any other info now.

The source code behind the message says:
Line 1: <div class="error"> <p>This Plugin needs BBpress to work, pls. install it first and activate.</p></div>
Please help. It’s my busy time of the year.

Hello, sorry first of all I am not a full on developer so forgive any basic questions, I have only just considered using bbpress for a forum I want to setup, I am familiar with WordPress and working with various plugins, can modify basic code etc when I need to, however it’s not my main job. I’ve installed bbpress and am looking at getting a theme to work well with it. Am willing to pay for a pro theme that is simple for users, nothing that special is required.

I just want to ask how hard is it as a fairly competent end user with some technical know how to set up a basic bbpress site, add a fairly functional user friendly theme, and get a forum up and running? It’s not wordpress.org, it might have max 100 users, closed/private forum.

I had assumed like most plugins bbpress would work fairly well “out of the box” and adding a template and maybe a few additional plugins to improve functionality would not be a big deal.

However I’ve just been quoted $2500 by a developer to do the above, to say my jaw hit the floor would be an understatement! Is bbpress THAT hard to implement that I need to pay mega bucks to get something simple up and running with it?? 🙁

PS the only reason I considered paying someone was to get it done in a few days rather than a few weeks as I have my main work to be getting on with as well… Otherwise I’d sit down and work through it step by step usually!

bbPress Styling Crib

or

bbp style pack

[Robin W]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

FTP transfer this to your pc and edit

find starting from line 254

<?php if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

and delete these lines

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[canvasstudio]

So the issue with topic going into pending, is that the topic or reply most likely has invalid formatted code. Example: User type is a URL and hit submit, it is gone. Well, no, it is pending. because https://domain.com/something is not allowed. And the app does tell the user of the error.

[canvasstudio]

So maybe long in coming, but just started working on a new bbpress BuddyPress forum.

Basically if a topic contains an invalid code such as a url (not and image url link), once submit it goes into draft mode. There maybe other reasons, but invalid code in topic is one.

I am currently working on a fix, short of making the tag available global. Biggest issue is link spamming.

[Robin W]

can you try this in your child theme function file or snippets

function rew_get_topic_split_link( $retval, $r, $args ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'id'          => 0,
			'link_before' => '',
			'link_after'  => '',
			'split_text'  => esc_html__( 'Split',                           'bbpress' ),
			'split_title' => esc_attr__( 'Split the topic from this reply', 'bbpress' )
		), 'get_topic_split_link' );

		// Get IDs
		$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $r['id'] );
		$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id );

		// Bail if no reply/topic ID, or user cannot moderate
		if ( empty( $reply_id ) || empty( $topic_id ) || ! current_user_can( 'moderate', $topic_id ) ) {
			return;
		}

		$uri = add_query_arg( array(
			'action'   => 'bbp-split-topic',
			'reply_id' => $reply_id
		), bbp_get_topic_edit_url( $topic_id ) );

		$retval = $r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $uri ) . '" title="' . $r['split_title'] . '" class="bbp-topic-split-link">' . $r['split_text'] . '</a>' . $r['link_after'];

		// Filter & return
		return apply_filters( 'rew_get_topic_split_link', $retval, $r, $args );
	}

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_split_link', 'rew_get_topic_split_link' , 10 , 3) ;

function rew_is_topic_split() {

	// Assume false
	$retval = false;

	// Check topic edit and GET params
	if ( bbp_is_topic_edit() && ! empty( $_GET['action'] ) && ( 'bbp-split-topic' === $_GET['action'] ) ) {
		$retval = true;
	}

	// Filter & return
	return (bool) apply_filters( 'rew_is_topic_split', $retval );
}

add_filter ('bbp_is_topic_split' , 'rew_is_topic_split' ) ;

[Chuckie]

I had this reply @robin-w:

I’d suggest filing a bug report with bbPress.

The issue is that TML registers ‘action’ as a public query variable with WP. WP has a check in WP::parse_request(), which ensures that all GET and POST values of public query variables match. If they don’t, it dies with the error message you are seeing.

For whatever reason, bbPress uses a different action key depending on GET/POST context. In this specific instance, the GET value of ‘action’ is ‘split’. However, the POST value (set via hidden field in the form) is ‘bbp-split-topic’. This difference is causing the condition described above.

In code:

$_GET['action'] = 'split';
$_POST['action'] = 'bbp-split-topic';

if ( isset( $_GET[ 'action' ] ) && isset( $_POST[ 'action' ] ) && $_GET[ 'action' ] !== $_POST[ 'action ] ) {
	wp_die( __( 'A variable mismatch has been detected.' ), __( 'Sorry, you are not allowed to view this item.' ), 400 ); }

[Robin W]

ok, I’d do this

go back to

When I do a static page and add the bbCode shortcode [bbp-forum-index] it works fine and as expected.

and use developer told to scrape the code from the presented page.

then you should be able to construct the page without using shortcodes

too much work for me to really help further for free – sorry

[joerga]

Unfortunately this doesn’t work. The function gets then confused with the open and closing tags of the shortcod and echos some of them so the overall layout is broken.

Any other ideas how to fix this or achieve on another way?

Here you can see the problem: https://prime-surfing.de/prime-surfing-forum/forum/prime-surfing/

Edit: I added a second section below this one with this code:

echo do_shortcode('[tdc_zone type="tdc_content"][vc_row full_width="stretch_row_1400 td-stretch-content"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][td_block_list_menu menu_id="14949"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]bbPress FORUM SHOULD BE HERE![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][/tdc_zone]');

This works fine so this tells me that the do_shortcode function interprets all the shortcodes right but something in the injsection of bbPress is not working along with the way I am trying to solve this.

[thetoolman123]

Hi,

Many thanks for the code, that worked perfectly 😀

[webcreations907]

Try adding the below to your theme’s functions.php file.

function quick_target_blank_link_content($content){
	$content = str_replace('<a', '<a target="_blank"',$content);
	return $content;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'quick_target_blank_link_content', 60 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'quick_target_blank_link_content', 60 );

[thetoolman123]

Thanks. but I want to add it to the code so every link opens in a new window, even if other users post and don’t use <a href… tags

[Robin W]

as a quick guess, I suspect you are trying multiple shortcodes

so

<?php echo do_shortcode('[tdc_zone type="tdc_content"][vc_row full_width="stretch_row_1400 td-stretch-content"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][td_block_list_menu menu_id="14949"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]

might need to be

<?php echo do_shortcode('[tdc_zone type="tdc_content"]') ;
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row full_width="stretch_row_1400 td-stretch-content"]') ;
etc.

Hey everyone,

I am currently setting up a new bbPress Forum and I made a custom template page which works fine but I can’t figure out why the forum injects in the wrong place (or if it works like this at all).

I have the tagdiv Newspaper Theme installed and I usually layout my pages with the tagdiv composer.
For the custom page template I took the code from the page.php from the tagdiv Composer directory adjusted it for my needs and then saved it to plugin-bbpress.php inside the Template root directory.

I also created a page with tagdiv Composer with a layout with three columns, bbPress is supposed to be in the middle one. When I do a static page and add the bbCode shortcode [bbp-forum-index] it works fine and as expected. I have three colums with different content to the left and right and the bbPress forum in the middle.

What I tried now is to use the same shortcodes from the tagdiv composer to create a custom template for the whole bbPress forum (in. So my code in the plugin-bbpress.php file looks like this:


if (have_posts()) { ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="td-main-content-wrap td-main-page-wrap td-container-wrap">
<div class="<?php if (!td_util::tdc_is_installed()) { echo 'td-container '; } ?>tdc-content-wrap">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[tdc_zone type="tdc_content"][vc_row full_width="stretch_row_1400 td-stretch-content"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][td_block_list_menu menu_id="14949"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]

'.the_content().'

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][/tdc_zone]'); ?>
</div>

</div> <!-- /.td-main-content-wrap -->

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php
}


On the frontend the shortcodes are renderd fine by the tagdiv Composer but bbPress injects over or before the columns and not in the middle one as I want it to (and where the the_content() function should place it).

Any ideas how I can get this to work or any other ideas how to achieve this?

Thanks!

Here’s the link to the static page: https://prime-surfing.de/profile-copy/
And here’s one with the custom page template: https://prime-surfing.de/prime-surfing-forum/forum/prime-surfing/

P.S.: Please don’t mind the mess with the other pages, still under consutruction.

My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin implements a shortcode for syntax highlighting in the forum topics and replies: https://support.dev4press.com/kb/article/bbcodes-source-code-scode/.
