Here is what I needed to do:

add_filter( ‘bbp_register_topic_post_type’, ‘enable_restAPI_bbpress_topics’, 10,1);
function enable_restAPI_bbpress_topics ($args) {
$args[‘show_in_rest’] = true;
$args[‘supports’] = array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘author’ );
return $args;
}
Notice the supports variable. By including author that ensures post_author is set.

Seriously, BBPress should simply include a setting in backend to enable restAPI. That is the direction that the web is heading in already, with headless CMS, decoupling front and and backend.

Well, I am using your bbp style pack. Is it possible that some kind of vent hook had a priority change with the numbers in the source code which is not reflected in the style pack? Ie. Is it possible that in some instances hooks might not get executed? I recall the one instance where the number had been changed. This is only a hunch.

phpBB version is 3 but not the newest version of it. I’m doing this for another person, who has custom code on the site and he said that he is unable to update the version.

The row amount. I get the same results with either 100 or 1000.

The problem is just that it doesnt recognize the forum folder to get the top parent forums. 2nd problem. The importer changes posts into replies and now every post is a reply.

I can create the problem now on my test site. If I add the plugin (which I was doing to de-bug) the problem goes away. This is despite it just being the code that the function uses !

I would like to eliminate that you posted to a closed topic.

I would however like you to look at this situation

Forum a – forum, open, public parent 0
Forum b – sub forum, public, parent forum a
Topic x – an OPEN topic
Reply 1 – a reply to the above topic
reply 2 – a second reply

can you get the problem with this set up and my plugin deactivated ?

[Chuckie]

So is there any way that I can provide for you the results for:

$ancestors = array_values( array_unique( array_merge( array( $topic_id, $forum_id ), (array) get_post_ancestors( $topic_id ) ) ) );

Or

foreach ( $ancestors as $ancestor )

?

[Chuckie]

This could be why? In your code:

			// Reply meta relating to most recent reply
			if ( bbp_is_reply( $ancestor ) ) {
				// @todo - hierarchical replies

I had just made a most recent reply. So it is doing nothing. I dunno. You know the code better.

[Robin W]

No, I’m deep in code, this is not simple !

In your case, If you move the private forum out from under a public forum, I suspect you will work.

Thanks for your quick response.

I have included this in my css file of the child theme.

# bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum .bbp-forum-title {
float: none! important;
}

Would it be a correct solution?

What is strange to me is that my theme includes this concrete for bbbress and that it breaks the site when it has always worked well.

Anyway, solved, thank you very much.

[John James Jacoby]

Looks like an issue with the CSS in the theme:

https://www.racingonlineclub.com/wp-content/themes/sportcenter/css/leaf-bbpress.css?ver=5.3

Line 741: float: left;

Remove the float, and everything snugs back up nicely, and the div below the title stops overlapping it.

I have read this topic:

Issues inserting/embedding videos

But when I insert the “bbpress shortcodes” there are two problems:

1/ The new setting does not show on my TinyMCE Advanced toolbar
2/ Going to their support forum results in an invalid domain

According to TinyMCE the [video] shortcode it support to render as a video. But when I paste it I just get the text. Now, I tried adding the functions.php to return video(...) but I got the same error for video being unknown.

So I am abit stuck.

I was hoping to use the dedicated TinyMCE “Video” but that only works for admin and I have no solution about the frustrating escaping of the chevrons. Thus I am looking at this video shortcode as an alternative.

Hi community, I have a problem with bbpress

After the upgrade to bbpress 2.6.2 the links of the titles of both topics and forums do not work.

For example in: https://www.racingonlineclub.com/foros/

The first title don’t link to forum “Ayuda y preguntas Frecuentes”

Instead the html code seems correct in the inspector

<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="https://www.racingonlineclub.com/foros/foro/ayuda-y-preguntas-frecuentes/">Ayuda y preguntas frecuentes</a>

Thanks for your help and regards.

Hi,
I know the main WP code is now adding the new Google link tag of UGC to links in comments – could BBPress be amended to allow an option of automatically adding this UGC tag to all external links?

Thanks,
Dale.

[Robin W]

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

transfer this to your pc and edit

change line 31 from

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() ) : ?>

to

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

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

[Chuckie]

The ALT + SHIFT + M hotkey does not work inside the editor of bbPress (even though I have the media plugin enabled and the functional button on the toolbar.

I raised this both on TinyMCE GitHUB:

https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/issues/5223

And WordPress:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-media-hotkey/#post-12174886

TinyMCE support said:

TinyMCE doesn’t provide any shortcuts for the image, nor media plugin by default so this is likely an issue with wordpress or wordpress plugin you’re using. Since there is nothing we can do to fix the issue, I’m going to close this and suggest you log an issue with wordpress or wordpress plugin directly.

WordPress support said:

AFAIK that hot key is unique to the post edit screen only when using the classic editor. It’s not the editor itself that it’s tied to, but the edit screen for posts. If the block editor had a media button it would probably still work there. However, the bbPress forum post screen is not the same as a WP post edit screen. You would need some JavaScript code that listens for the specific keyboard event and when it occurs, launch the media modal.

Therefore, it sounds to me that bbPress needs some tweak to cater for the advertised hotkey for inserting images. Can this be considered please? All other hot keys are functional.

Thank you.

Go to Settings | Discussions and increase the limit for allowed links. Or switch off moderation altogether by adding this to your child theme functions.php or add a snippet:

// ==============================================================
// Switch off bbPress Forum moderation
add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );
// ==============================================================

@robin-w, as of version 2.6.2 I am still facing these three issues – css not loading, subforums not loading, replies to topics not showing up.

[haddly]

I would like to second what @hydrogriff said. After installing 2.6-beta-1 the sub-topics reappeared.

[tapiohuuhaa]

Would it be possible to create share functionality for each replies like

https://www.sanaristikkofoorumi.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019-11-24-21.59.59-keskustelu.suomi24.fi-23ec2cec98bd.png

(Jaa = share).

I would try it myself and give some code to add, if I would get some advice how to do it.

[mrmillercoach]

Found the code you referenced.

[Chuckie]

This is my complete configuration if it helps.

I don’t understand why my “Meeting Schedule Assistant” forum has rather sporadic ordering of the forums!

@cassel – also is this just starting – when I looked at 2.6 code that does this bit, it has not changed much from 2.5 so couldn’t see anything that should affect on the change to 2.6?

[Robin W]

I’ve just taken a look at the code, and yes in 2.6 it is reversed

includes/common/widgets.php

in 2.5 it says

'orderby'             => 'menu_order title',
			'order'               => 'ASC'

in 2.6 it says

// Order
			'orderby' => 'menu_order title',
			'order'   => 'DESC',

There is no available filter to change this

@johnjamesjacoby was this change deliberate ?

[hydrogriff]

I tried 2.6.2 as well. As reported in the Child CSS post, I am facing this issue as well. Sub-forums are not displayed. I did purge the cache and tried saving forums too. The following things are not working.

• Subforums wont display
• Replies to topic wont display
• Custom CSS won’t load

@johnjamesjacoby, if it’s any help, I found these info after testing other versions of BBPress.

The subforums and replies were still working in 2.6-beta-1 and 2.6-beta-2.

Additional information:

• CSS stopped working since 2.6-beta-1.
• Replies to topics stopped working since 2.6-rc-1.
• Subforum display stopped working in 2.6-rc-7.

[Chuckie]

This is a nightmare from what i can see unless you use the TEXT editor and the CODE tag ONLY.

If I insert some sample XSL script into CODE blocks. Example:

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="@ItemPosition='1' and Assistant!=''">
    <xsl:text><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">1st:</span> </xsl:text>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="@ItemPosition='2'">
    <xsl:text><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">2nd:</span> </xsl:text>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="@ItemPosition='3'">
      <xsl:text><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">3rd:</span> </xsl:text>
  </xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

I can edit it to my hearts content. But if I use the TinyMCE edit to edit this post (with the TinYMCE editor being the default at the moment I edit) it strips all the XSL syntax.

Now, I realise that I can add a load of XSL tags into my custom functions.php class to permit these syntax words but that will be a nightmare. XSL has a lot of syntax. Is there really no standard (TinyMCE compatible) where we can insert code snippets and they look correct to the user and still be editable afterwards in either editor?

[Chuckie]

I created a new topic today:

https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/topic/is-it-possibly-to-modify-1st-2nd-3rd-translations-on-the-new-s-89-template/

It is a private forum post. I used TinyMCE editor and it has:

– Paragraphs
– Table
– Background colour
– Code snippets
– Heading 3

I hit “Submit” and the topic looks good.

I click “EDIT” and alot of all the underlaying HTML is stripped.

So I hit BACK in my browser. I set the default editor as TEXT and then I clicked EDIT and this time the whole text showed in the TEXT editor.

Why did the TinyMCE editor strip the content?

I am using:

– WordPress 5.3 (it uses TinyMCE 4.9.6 internally)
– bbp Style Pack
– TinyMCE ADvanced
– Advanced TinyMCE Configuration

I seem to recall I used to have the same problem in general in Wordress when editing posts that had code in them would show funny. I really don’t know enough about the mechanics of the whole system to know where to look or who to direct the issue towards.

If anyone can replicate this problem or can direct me to a resolution I would be grateful. Thank you.
