sorry read you first post too fast !

I did the fix for hello elementor some while ago, and things may have changed.

ok, on my test site the forums display whether style pack is enables or not, and indeed whether the option is ticked in theme support, and it may be my fix as such is no longer doing anything.

So without style pack, what is broken in either the forums, or your posts?

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;

reply threading means that you can reply to a reply and it will show against that reply, it lets a thread go in many directions – personally I hate it and would not use it.

‘Voices’ means the number of different people who have contributed to a thread.

As to your original question, I cannot replicate the issue, so I can only suggest you try the standard fault finding viz:

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

Then come back

upgrade to the latest version of bbp style pack

dashboard>updates and select bbp style pack and update

then go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Custom CSS

and add this

.bsp-mark-all {
display : none ; 
}

I just installed bb press and installed bbPress WP Tweaks. I am trying to add login and register and lost password however the sidebar does not show. I am using the latest version of WordPress. What other option do I have to allow users to register, etc.

Hello.

I have a WordPress site with a configured BBPress Forum and a WPMAIL SMTP plugin.

I recently started receiving 2 mistakes that appear at the same time on the WPMAIL SMTP event log.

On WPMAIL SMTP I tested the sending of emails, and the site is sending email normally.
What may be causing these EVENTS?

See topic on WPMAIL SMTP FORUM:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-related-log-events/

[Robin W]

add this plugin and use to test if email is working

Check & Log Email – Easy Email Testing & Mail logging

[jmmcforum]

I’ve created pages for my website for register, login, and forgot password to use my forum but when I test it out no email sends to the user. How can I get the emails to send? Not sure if it matters, but I am using Kubio pro for my website theme. I’m new to (and not that good at) building website so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I just did a test post, closed it to simulate the same post status and then trashed it, all worked fine. So the issue is why the older posts couldn’t do the same thing. Bizarre.

[Robin W]

of the original, or a test post?

[Robin W]

bbpress uses custom post types, so uses their status in the posts table (not post meta) to determine whether to display.

So on trashing a topic, I would expect the post_status on the posts table to be changed to trash.

To enable you to ‘untrash’ a topic (say if it was a mistake) in tbe post_meta table, I would then expect to see

_bbp_pre_trashed_replies	a:4:{i:0;i:33965;i:1;i:33963;i:2;i:33959;i:3;i:33956;}
_wp_trash_meta_status	publish
_wp_trash_meta_time	1748443956

The trash status being the status BEFORE it was trashed, so that it can go back to this if you made a mistake.

I am not sure what the other statuses are doing there, if you have been trashing and untrashing, other stuff might happen, and other bbpress plugins might be adding things.

I’d suggest you try creating a test topic and then trashing it, and seeing what happens, so that you can see a ‘clean’ set of entries.

If you still have problems, then it could be a theme or plugin issue, so I’d try creating and trashing a topic with the below happening.

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.

I’d be happy to take part in testing! I have a large live forum with over 10,000 topics. Let me know when the free AI model appears. P.S. – I’m going to test wordpress.org— ai-engine plugin – but more with the MCP purpose for administration

[neon67]

Thanks for your efforts! I think the plugin would be much more popular for testing if you added free AIs there. And the ability to limit yourself not only to the forum topic, but also to a special professional section. This solves the problem of spam and empty talk.

[Robin W]

ok, as a test can you deactivate the block member posting and check whether that changes anything – just to eliminate, you can re-enable straight after the test.

I tried using Buddy-bbPress Support Topic to create support topics on my BBP current version install but it created a critcal error and I deactivated. Are there any other alternative to add that functionality? Also running the latest BP version and WP 6.81
Thanks for the help.

[andiganter]

After extensive testing and numerous attempts, I finally found the solution (thanks to ChatGPT). I would like to post it here because other users may encounter the same problem and appreciate a quick solution, and so that the effort is at least worthwhile for others. Here is the CSS code, which simply needs to be inserted at the bottom of the Customizer under “Custom CSS”:

.entry-title {
  white-space: normal !important;
  word-break: break-word !important;
  overflow-wrap: break-word !important;
  hyphens: auto !important;
  line-height: 1.2 !important;
  max-width: 100% !important;
  text-align: center !important;
}

[Robin W]

hmmm…

Just looked on my test site, and the newest appears at the top, and changes when I add a reply.

I can see yours does not match this.

What other (if any) bbpress related plugins are you using?

[packzap]

From that document:

Moving to a New Server
If you are moving WordPress from one server to another, begin by backing up your WordPress directory, images, plugins, and other files on your site as well as the database. See WordPress Backups and Backing Up Your Database.

Keeping Your Domain Name and URLs
Moving your domain without changing the Home and Site URLs of your WordPress site is very simple, and in most cases can be done by moving the files.

If database and URL remain the same, you can move by just copying your files and database.

If database name or user changes, edit wp-config.php to have the correct values.

If you want to test before you switch, you must temporarily change “siteurl” and “home” in the database table “wp_options” (through phpMyAdmin or similar).

If you had any kind of rewrites (permalinks) setup you must disable .htaccess and reconfigure permalinks when it goes live.

[Robin W]

That’s great – thanks for testing and your help in finding the issues 🙂

[downybirch]

Aha!

Fixed it!

All seems good, both on the development dashboard using Brave and on the testing site using Firefox.

Android phone is happy too.

Top work – thanks!

[downybirch]

OK – if I go to the Forums root folder, Latest Actity displays correctly.

If I go to a topic within a forum, the raw HTML appears again.

I guess you’ll need to propagate the fix to the next level down.

Cheers.

[downybirch]

We’re part of the way there…

I’ve updated to your 6.3.2, cleared caches on WP and my browsers.

I’m using Brave for development, Firefox to test.

The raw html doesn’t appear if I log in to the WP dashboard and preview the site (Brave), but if I log in as a user (Firefox) the problem reappears. Still only for the ‘Last Reply’ and ‘Last Activity’ links.

Brave on my phone is also displaying the raw html.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

I just found the issue, and fixed it in 6.3.2 just released.

Can you test and confirm please?

[packzap]

I’m running the the latest: {bbPress version 2.6.13) / WordPress version 6.8.1}. I’ve been running bbPress for 10 to 15 years, starting with the 0.x versions. I notice when I look at the database in MyPHPadmin there are many tables with the prefix of bb_ and even more tables starting with wsy****_.

So just to review, when we move the bbPress/Wordpress installation from one server to another we do so in these steps?

1. Copy all web files over to new server
2. Copy the database.sql over to new server
3. Edit the first few lines of wp-config.php with the pertinent new database settings
4. Go into the Admin panel of the site and make sure the bbPress plugin is active
5. Then go to Tools, Forums, click the Import forums tab, select Platform, bbPress1 and enter the pertinent database details
6. In the table prefix section be sure to add the prefixes from your database (in my case bb_ and wsy****_, i guess entered as bb_wsy****_?)
7. Click Start, and then fold your hands together and pray the import works 😉

[downybirch]

I’m running WP 6.8.1 wih bbp 2.6.13 and bbp style pack 6.3.0 on the Twenty Twenty-Four theme.

When I view my forum as a logged in user, I see this under the Last Activity section:

Last Activity: <a href="https://scottishpolicy.org/forums/topic/right-to-privacy/" title="Right to privacy">1 day, 9 hours ago</a>

I’ve used Inspector to look at the code in the browser (Firefox and Brave – both are affected) and I can’t spot anything obvious.

Is this a known issue?

Is there a fix?
