Hi,

I was hoping someone can offer me a way to delete this topic “what is your favorite movie of all time” it was a test topic and was filled with 322,222 spam replies. I cant delete from admin because I get internal server error. Can you guide me in deleting from database via ccpanel?

Thank you

[pcpro178]

Hi Pascal. I tried renaming the folder to bbpress.old and then installing the latest version of bbPress, but the admin panel still said that it was on the previous pervion of bbPress. I’d be okay with doing a proper uninstall of bbPress and then doing a clean install, but will that wipe out my bbPress database tables? I need to be able to do this without destroying my community.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

I just set up my new forum for testing and I have found a strange issue with breadcrumbs. I am new to bbpress and could use some guideance.

I am sending people to check out the forum at http://www.themagicinpixels.com/forum-testing

When they click into a post (for example)
http://www.themagicinpixels.com/forums/topic/rondaxe-fire-tower/#post-106747

Then click the forums link in the breadcrumbs, it takes them to

Forums

How can I fix this?

[sequor]

First and foremost, let me go ahead and apologize if this isn’t the right place for this.

With the latest major WP update, it seems that my forums have become broken. When viewing a topic or thread, the entire site’s theme isn’t loaded, resulting in a white screen with very minimal content on it. I’ve switched out themes to see if maybe it was just a theme issue, and the results were the same.

Some information about my site:

Forum URL: http://cosplay-central.com/forum/
Wordpress Version: 4.6.1
bbPress Version: 2.5.10
Current Theme: Esteem

[Ismail]

You’re welcome all. Happy to be able to help 🙂

@wasanajones You can use get_the_excerpt( $se_post ) or just post_excerpt property of the WP_Post object:

Edit the last callback from previous code to go as this:

add_filter('bbp_get_form_topic_content', function( $body ) {
	global $se_post;
	if( $se_post ) {
		return $se_post->post_excerpt;
	}
	return $body;
});

I did not test this but I am sure it should work.

Best,
Samuel

I have the exact same issue. Using WP 4.6.1 with twenty sixteen theme + bbpress and no other plug-ins on a local install for testing.

I can create forums and topics. However, I cannot post any comments and keep getting the following error message: ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?

Have tried repeated uninstall/install of both WP and BBP. Same result.

[gbbgadmin]

Maybe to help out a bit:

We run
PHP7.0-fpm (latest stable)
Nginx 1.10 (latest stable)
Ubuntu 16.04 (latest stable)
WordPress 4.6.1
bbPress 2.5.11
bbPress Advanced Statistics 1.4.02
bbPress NewTopics 1.0.1
bbPress No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA 1.0
BuddyPress Version 2.7.2
BuddyPress Activity Plus 1.6.4
Buddypress Messages Spam Blocker 2.5
BuddyPress Profile Tabs 1.6.1

[imthinking]

Thank you Robin for your response. It’s much appreciated. I actually had already tried that route exactly as you have described plus I probably didn’t make my question clear on the private part.

Here is the link to my test page of forums – http://imaginationfoundry.com/forumhome/

I made “Pasteboard Heaven” a category and then packet of fun with PH its parent. Even though I chose Alternate on BPQ my site is creating an indent instead of bringing it down one notch on its on line.

Regarding the private portion I meant I didn’t want the private groups to display on my main forum index page.

Any thoughts on why my bbpress is creating an indent?

Any thoughts on how to hide th private groups from displaying on my forum page?

Thank you Robin or any others.

I’m currently working on a project for a client who wants to have the latest reply from any topic in a forum show up on the main bbpress page under the forum name. Is there a way to get this reply from the database using either built in functions or a wp_query. I also need to show the persons avatar, name, and when it was posted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dev site is at http://realestateinvesting.how/topics/. I can’t tell you exactly what version of bbpress they are using as the client hired a developer before me who hid the plugins unless your at a user level higher than admin. WordPress version is 4.5

[atmojones]

@Robkk any thoughts?

So I made a clean install of WordPress and bbPress (and then after a few test posts I installed buddypress which didn’t change anything) and made 2 users. When I @mention a user in the forum it links correctly regardless of how many spaces I enter. HOWEVER, it does always strip the leading spaces down to 1 in the presentation of the post. If I click Edit on the post the original number of spaces can be seen. Is this intended behavior?

I’m going to make the changes to functions.php to enable the visual editor and to enable buddypress @mention suggestions in bbPress visual editor (like my production site) and see if the error reproduces.

[Daethian]

Something has gone wonky and suddenly none of the original posts in my topics are visible. You can see all of the replies and make a reply.

bbPress 2.5.10-6063

I’m running the latest version of WordPress and Buddypress.

[timelessdice]

Thank you very much for the quick reply!

I’m going to look into the information that you have provided and test it out later this week.

[wafadul]

by default, Private Forums and topics can be viewed by logged in users. Hidden Forums and topics are only for Admins.

but in my forum, Private Forums and topics can only be seen by admins. when a user enters a private forum, he/she can’t see the topics.

what’s with this behaviour? is this a bug? this is a very basic feature how come it’s not functioning properly?

i have the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress, and have tried it with the default themes.

Hello everyone,

I installed BBPress earlier this week and managed to get some customization etc. But what i’m struggling with is getting the topics to show under the forum on the forum page.

I would like to see the structure of the forums and under the forums the latest topics in this forum. I have searched hours and hours on the internet where some people had succes on this but i couldn’t implement it myself becouse the lack of experience in PHP.

Can someone please help me how i do this?

[RobertL4807]

I have a category setup just for advertisement posts. I want to block that forum category from showing up on the “Latest Posts” page and “Most Popular” etc where real discussion are located.

Is there a way I can keep a category from feeding posts to other pages in BBpress?

Much appreciated.

[Fuskeduske]

Hi Hanifascraps,

Seems like i have to register to view the forum, could you possibly create a test user for me and mail it at marzy1995@gmail.com or approve the pending user i have created myself, which goes by the same name.

Hello

we are at the latest version of WP (4.6.1) with Canvas theme, and BBPress 2.5.10

The forum is here http://www.zen-avec-mon-assmat.com/forums-zen-avec-mon-assmat/

We don’t know why but we have this huge bug now : the answers are no more attached to the initial topic… Actually when you click on the initial topic, you just see the latest answer…

HELP please !

[Milan.Nikolic]

I want to display only one topic on the homepage that has the latest reply. So, I want to display only the topic that has the freshest reply. It doesn’t matter to me how old that topic is, as long as it has the freshest reply among all other topics.

[christinalim89]

Hi,

I’m trying to re-do a site.
Now the new site is using the latest version of WordPress (4.6.1) and bbPress also the latest version (2.5.10)
The previous site is using WordPress 4.5 version with the latest version of bbPress.

I exported my old forum, topics and replies and imported those data into the new site.
When I click on the forum, I got this messages, below:
This forum contains 6 topics and 55 replies, and was last updated by xxx 1 month, 2 weeks ago.
Oh bother! No topics were found here!

I also tried to disable all the plugin, switched to default themes and used this little plugin – http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix/. But it doesn’t work at all.

Is this plugin compatible with the latest version of WordPress?
Does anyone have the same issue? Any solution for this issue?
Can share with me how to solve this issue?

Regards,
CL

Hello. Have the same issue. Key-master role is disappeared too. My bbpress version is Version 2.5.10 and WordPress version is the latest one. http://prntscr.com/d1cidr – roles which I able to set. http://prntscr.com/d1cj5v avaliable settings. Looks like the key-master role is disappeared. Hope for your help.

[zoeylwm]

Hi there,

I recently found bbpress in hopes to create a forum, but after installing and activating the plugin, there are no changes in the dashboard ( forum button did not appear after activation ).

I also noticed that the 2.5.10 bbpress plugin is not tested with my version of WordPress, which is 4.6.1.

Is there anyway to fix this? I am really looking forward to use this plugin for my forum.

Thanks in advance.
