ok, that may well be beyond free help, but what is doing that print out – nothing in your code send any of that to screen

[Chuckie]

Awesome indeed. I did not put two and two together. But then I noticed what it said on the screen:

Customise your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.

Doh!

[John James Jacoby]

Caching plugins misbehaving could definitely contribute to problems in a lot of areas.

Private and Hidden forums also do work a little bit strangely, especially without BuddyPress Groups on top of them to manage them a bit better, and especially when you have a mix of public and private within the same branch of a forum tree.

Imagine, if you will:

Public 1
|--Private 1
|--|--Public 2
|--Public 3

Now, I login and create a Topic in the Private 1 forum.

How should that bubble up to the parent Public 1 category?

Then someone creates a topic in the Public 2 forum. How can a public forum even exist under a private forum?

bbPress won’t prevent you from doing these things, but it won’t really work very well when you do.

I think, to work best, we could never cache these values ever, because they’d always be based on what the currently logged in user can see, instead of being attached to the forums or the categories like they always have been.

But for now, for performance reasons, these Freshness values are working as intended, even though they aren’t a real great experience for Private and Hidden Forums underneath other Public ones.

[Chuckie]

Thanks. But I am not sure what you are suggesting I do?

When I started out setting up bbPress I understood I had to create a page to list the forums. So I created a page (support-forums) and inserted this shortcode:

[bbp-forum-index]

Are you telling me I don’t actually need this page on my website or need to use this shortcode? #confused

[John James Jacoby]

I don’t really understand why you need 2 separate pages for your forums.

If you create a page that matches the slug for your forum root, it will use that page instead, as well as the title.

Then, you can use bbPress shortcodes to fill in the content.

This is what we do here on bbPress.org, and it works pretty well.

[Chuckie]

Thanks for the suggestion. I have added the code, and got into private browser mode. And the same results sadly.

[Robin W]

ok, so it is not that function.

you could try just adding this to your child theme functions file

remove_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'bbp_filter_kses', 40 );

let me know if that works

[Robin W]

it is theme related

the non forum pages have

.social-navigation a {
	border-radius: 40px;
	display: inline-block;
	height: 40px;
	margin: 0 1em 0.5em 0;
	text-align: center;
	width: 40px;
}

the forum pages have an additional css class of .no-svg

.no-svg .social-navigation a {
	height: auto;
	width: auto;
}

this needs removing, but I cannot say what you need to do to remove it – maybe a page thing

[Chuckie]

This is the full function:

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(

		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'href'     => true,
			'title'    => true,
			'rel'      => true,
			'class'    => true,
			'target'   => true,
		),

		// Quotes
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite'     => true,
		),
		
		// Div
		'div' => array(
			'class'     => true,
		),
		
		// Span
		'span'          => array(
			'class'     => true,
			'style'     => true,
		),

		// Paragraph
		'p'          => array(
			'dir'    => true,
			'style'  => true,
		),
		
		// Code
		'code'       => array(),
		'pre'        => array(
		'class'      => true,
		),

		// Formatting
		'em'         => array(),
		'strong'     => array(),
		'del'        => array(
			'datetime' => true,
		),

		// Lists
		'ul'         => array(),
		'ol'         => array(
			'start'    => true,
		),
		'li'         => array(),

		// Images
		'img'        => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'src'      => true,
			'border'   => true,
			'alt'      => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'width'    => true,
		),

		// Tables
		'table'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'bgcolor'  => true,
			'border'   => true,
		),
		'tbody'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'td'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tfoot'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'th'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'thead'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tr'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'video'      => array(
			'controls' => true,
			'width'    => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'source'     => array(
				'src'    => true,
				'type'	 => true
			)
		)
	);
} 

if I introduce source into the top level then the source inside the video tag gets stripped completely from the output. So I can’t do that. I think bbPress needs tweaking to stop escaping the video tag content. Some how. For not admin.

[Robin W]

ok, so path wise it counts.

on the <source> issue, less certain how to resolve. the code above looks like it should work, but you might need to add source as a top level as well

if you need help with that, give me the entire function above

[Robin W]

last active time on a topic would pick up if there had been replies.

I loaded your code onto my site, and it worked fine.

I’m not sure what other help you want

1. topic will do what you want, it is saying that there are new topics within the period
2. I don’t understand this question, works fine on my test site]
3. yes it is counting any new topics or topics where there have been new replies – is that nit what you want?

[Chuckie]

I am using the TinyMCE Insert Video plugin. I paste the URL into that. It works fine for admin. It is only non-admin.

My functions.php has some tags added to the array defined in here:

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );

Snippet:

		'video'      => array(
			'controls' => true,
			'width'    => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'source'     => array(
				'src'    => true,
				'type'	 => true
			)
		)

There must be a way for me to allow those without escaping for non-admin.

The path begins https.

[Chuckie]

@robin-w

I am struggling with your other request. Something isn’t right. I have moderation still switched ON …

If I try to insert a video (only one video) as a non-admin and hit enter the video won’t play. When I edit the post the content looks like this:

<video controls="controls" width="300" height="150">
**source src="pathtovideo/pts-test-video.mp4" type="video/mp4" /**</video>

bbPress has escaped the < and > symbols.

If I log back in as admin and perform the same task. I get a functional video link:

<video controls="controls" width="300" height="150">
<source src="pathtovideo/pts-test-video.mp4" type="video/mp4" /></video>

I know it is a side issue but I don’t understand how to fix that and until I do I can’t complete the testing you wanted.

[Chuckie]

@robin-w I can confirm that:

add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );

switches off moderating because I was able to insert 5 images as a normal user. So that is one item ticked off the list – how to switch off moderation.

I will now check the other.

[thierrytregaro]

Thanks for the time/code but closed bbpress this morning and moved to discourse. Lost the perfect integration with wordpress but this is a way more convenient way for me to handle a community maybe too big for bbpress

[Robin W]

If you want to remove moderation, I think this will do it

add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

If someone could test and report back, that would be useful. I have no time availability to do this 🙂

[Robin W]

I’m just looking at that code are to try and understand it.

Yes, admins and moderators skip the moderation rules.

Thanks for the useful testing of the first part – ie the links.

Images and videos are just links as far as I can see, so should obey the same rules as above and be included in the count.

so 1 links, I video and 1 image = 3 links.

can you retest based on that and see if just 1 image is going into pending, or if it is the combination.

Hi, I am trying to grab all replies and count them (7 days old only)
Then I want to put on my nav menu message “There is new posts in formum ( 4hours 21mins ago )
1. Problem post_type Reply doesn’t work
2. Can’t access bbp functions in main-theme
3. It counts and renews only new TOPICS

function count_new_forum_posts() {

$today = date("Y-m-d");

$date2 = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($today . "-7 Day")); 	
$args = array(
		'post_type' => 'topic',

			array(
				'key' => '_bbp_last_active_time',
				'value' => $date2,
				'type' => 'DATE',
				'compare' => '>='
					),
				)
);

$posts_query = new WP_Query($args);
$the_count = $posts_query->post_count;

return $the_count;

}
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items', 'new_forums_notice_to_menu', 10, 2);
 
 function new_forums_notice_to_menu($items, $args) {
	 if(count_new_forum_posts() > 0){
          if( $args->theme_location == 'primary' )

     return $items;
 }
}

[thierrytregaro]

sorry to disagree. This is not a 3rd party plugin issue but a feature from bbpress that should be optional. Or, at least, that admin should be able to not use.

You do not fight spam with manual approve. I got days with over a thousands spams, GL doing it one by one LOL. Spamming is anti-spam business, not forum job (using server anti-spam + CleanTalk, maybe I had to remove one post this whole year. Out of 300k posts).

Today, I had to approve over 350 posts. Some of wich I had no clue why any piece of code could think of it as spam. And that included topics I, as admin, moved from one forum to another.

Whatever, migrating to Discourse is on its way and should be up tomorrow (it is but not public). There’s no way I can use a manually validating forum anymore. Those 5 years with bbpress were fun (in spite of some epic crashes).

[John James Jacoby]

Since the problem appears to be with a third party plugin, you’re unlikely to get a lot of support from the bbPress development team here for code that isn’t theirs.

In addition, you have not clearly stated what the actual problem is. You have clearly stated your complaints and how you feel about them, but you haven’t included instructions on how to replicate your problem.

Naturally, these forums are using bbPress, and we aren’t having the same moderation issues that you are. That doesn’t mean there isn’t something wrong, simply that no one knows where to look unless you can show them.

[Chuckie]

I can confirm that a basic post with no attachments (reply) is going to pending. It did not before and would like this resolved please. I wish I could help.

Tied very closely to this is my other discussion where I have shown the code that displays moderation feedback to the user for new topics but the same code is missing for replies. It needs to be there. The user must be told there post has gone to the moderation queue. We have the code and phrases in the files. We just got to drop them into the replies mechanics (except it should go after the post and before the edit control.

Tied very closely with this is that by design the admin staff should be sent an email if a post goes to moderation without the need for external plugins. Atleast an option to do so.

Great plugin!

[Robin W]

this is related to your theme

you could put this in your theme custom css area

@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.bbp-topic-content p{
margin : 0 0 0 0 ;
line-height : 1.2 ;
}
}

wordpress 5.3
bbpress 2.6.1

Hello,
I am noticing in the last few days and that is even prior to upgrading to wordpress 5.3 the bbpreply widget which lists the recent replies does not list the replies CLEARLY as it used to.

After the listing there is line now added next to all new replies that says”<span class=”dashicons dashicons-visibility wvrbbp-fav-sub” style=”font-size:80%;vertical-align:middle;”></span>”.

This added line obviously is taking away the clean clear quality of the webpage making it look ugly like a coded page. Please advise. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

[Chuckie]

Sorted my issue. I forgot to add styling for bbp-topic-content classes! Doh!

[willysbd]

I tried to make a custom plugin with this code, but it didn’t work so…Any solution?
Thanks!
