Hi, I’m not sure if I should be asking for help here, or over at Buddypress, so just let me know if I need to approach someone else.

I have downloaded Buddypress and BBpress to my site which is using X theme. It seemed to be working well until yesterday when I noticed a glitch. When I am logged in, and visit the various menu items on my page, some show me as being logged in, while others (mainly Home and Chat) show me as being logged out (when I’m actually logged in). Have you any ideas as to what might be going on here?

I created a tester user profile to test the site out, and the problem only seems to be arising on Safari. Firefox and Chrome seem to be working fine, and consistently show me as being logged in throughout the site.

Any help you might be able to offer would be much appreciated!

Using bbPress Version 2.5.10 and WordPress 4.6.1.

My site can be found at http://mummytobe.co.uk

Many thanks,

Catherine

Title says it all.

I posted a test topic (my site is not live yet) I’ve now deleted the topic but the counter on the front forum page still says there is one topic in that forum. The freshness is also displayed, when clicked it takes to my page not found.

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.

The forum root slug is forum-testing and the single forum slug is forums.

Hi,

I’m using the latest versions of WP and bbpress to date. I created some forums and a private forum also using Private groups. Everything perfect. Only one thing: When a normal user (not allowed to see the private forum) is logged in, he can still see that there is another forum due to the link at the bottom that points to the next forum. Of course, when he clicks there, he can’t access it, but still he knows of its existence. Would it be possible to control this “next forum” options somewhere to disable them or, at least, those pointing to a private forum?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello All,

I would like to upgrade my bbpress plugin on a testing/staging server.
I do not want to reveal the existence of this staging server to any of my users however.
Is there a way to disable all notifications coming from BBPress?

Thank you, Malcolm

As you can see I have integrated bbpress with buddypress and membership 2. These are almost completely configured to the way I want them.

The goal with the content on this free membership site is to make almost all the content readable, but to allow only users to post new topics or replies.

I have added one plugin at a time and test in between so I do not think there are any conflicts.

Matter of fact, everything is great except for 1 thing.

I do not want a non-logged in user to be able to post topics or replies. At the bottom of each of the current topics, there is a reply text entry field. If I log out and try to post a reply, I get this message:

“slow down, you move too fast”

So I either need to figure out how to change that message to “only logged in users can reply or post new topics” or something similar.

Or I need to know how to hide the reply text entry field for non-logged in users.

I have been through settings>forum as well as all the other plugins looking for the appropriate toggle to no avail.

I have combed the forums and google with no success. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Linda @iempoweru

Hi Pascal. This is a test environment and I’m using 2.6a from a PHPBB 3.1.10 forum. I’ve found another thread that also looks at this. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-alpha-problem-importing-phpbb/

[Steveim]

Hi Stephen. I then set up a new WordPress install with only the bbPress 2.6 alpha plugin installed and did my import. Everything seems fine and the forums work great except for the login. I’ve tested this with a user I can log in to the PHPBB site with but it won’t let me in to the WP site at all. I can see the user in the WP Users list and it has the same details (username/email) as in the PHPBB forum.

[Stephen Edgar]

I created http://wikoandco.com/topic/test-6, as noted in that topic most of the time wait from my posting appears acceptable, it is far less than 15 seconds, maybe 5 for the topic, and 3 for replies, but I see significant time Waiting for wikoandco.com which no doubt is caused by the connection time waiting from here where I am in Australia

[Stephen Edgar]

The best way to test this is on a local site, perform a phpBB import and try logging in with a user that you are confident you know the password.

I’m pretty sure this should be working correctly last time I tested it…

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
In what version of bbPress did you import ? Note that the upcoming bbPress 2.6 has a much better support for import so this could be an option.
Have a try in a test environment…
Pascal.

Hi guys and gals,

I’ve searched up and down for this and haven’t been able to find anything.

Is it possible to set up bbPress to show the latest post/reply when you click on a thread?

Currently, if I have say 3 pages, clicking on a discussion will take me to the first page and the first post. I’d like it to take me to the latest reply in the thread when I click on the thread topic.

Possible? Thanks for any help on this!

[visitor247]

WordPress 4.6.1, bbPress 2.5.10, sorry, no link because the forum is closed

With Auto-Embed enabled, some threads won’t load at all or need as long as 20 min. to load.
I created a test thread and found the problem occurs when there are links to other threads within the forum. Although I only created three messages which all contain nothing but a link to another thread within the forum, the page has to load 250 MB of data and hundreds of www-embed-player.js. Also, more than a thousand recourses are loaded (well, one of the linked threads has lots of embedded YouTube videos).

When Auto-Embed is on bbPress shows the topic of the linked thread instead of the link, which is good. But it seems that everything from that linked thread is already loaded and I’m not even sure that if those linked threads contain links to other threads as well, that those are not loaded, too.
I’m don’t know why it is loaded, because it is (of course) not shown. If Auto-Embed is off, everything is fine.

Is there something we can do about that behavior? What we need, are YouTube and especially SoundCloud files that can be played from within the thread and links to other threads that won’t load the complete content without showing it.

Any ideas?

Guido

If it’s taking 15 seconds to do add a reply or a topic you most definately have a plugin or theme manipulating post queries, most likely pre_get_posts filter is running in a plugin, maybe a theme.

Please disable ALL our plugins and test the speed again please.

If the speed remains the same, try switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme.

You’ll also notice here on bbpress.org it does not take 15 seconds

[mrtylershin31]

Hi, I’m pretty new to everything and I’ve been pretty much enjoying the first couple of days.
One thing that I’m trying to accomplish with bbpress is in the threaded replies section and its’ layout.

this is how a new topic currently looks – it keeps the author avatar separate from the content(this is mainly in order to maintain a decent readability-level on mobile devices)

The reply section also behaves the same until I enable threaded replies but
when threaded replies is enabled, it loses that layout(probably because of how my bbpress css is currently setup)

I would like some help to achieve the same ‘author-content-separated’ layout in the threaded replies.

I hope I have given enough detail for everyone to understand my situation 🙂
I’m currently using all the latest versions of everything.
My theme is twenty-fourteen and I am working with a child theme

[Jason]

I added a new user, but cannot change their role in the list of users. I check the box on the left of their username, then go to the top dropdown “Change forum role to…” and change it, but there is no effect. The only way I can change the role is to edit their profile individually, rather than using the Bulk method. I am going to be importing 160 users and cannot find a way to pre-populate the Forum Role field, so I’d like to save time by being able to change Forum Roles in bulk by putting a checkmark next to each user and performing the change all at once.

I am using the default Twenty Sixteen WordPress theme in use while testing this plugin.

Does anyone know about this limitation or bug?

[Jon Fergus]

r-a-y and Robkk, you can have a look on my staging site’s group topic to see the reply form location issue live. This is how it operates for me (using Robkk’s example above): Attempting to reply to Reply 1 will prompt the reply form to appear under Reply 3. Attempting to reply to Reply 2 will also prompt the reply form to appear under Reply 3. The only time the reply form appears where we want it is when replying to Reply 3 (i.e. the last reply of any column of replies, so long as there are no sub-replies).

See here: http://staging-nexus.universaltheosophy.com/groups/test-group/forum/topic/test-group-topic/

I think I remember seeing someone playing with the reply.js code trying to tackle this very issue, so will try to find that again. At the time it didn’t help me because I still hadn’t got reply.js to work at all.

I’ll spend some time working through the visual tab issue. Thanks for the links.

[r-a-y]

The reply form showing directly beneath the reply should be fixed as of:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2971

Edit – Haven’t tested with TinyMCE though.

[Jon Fergus]

Damn, another issue has come up. On my main site I’ve added the “Visual” tab to the reply form, using the following code in my functions.php file:

/* add visual editor to bbpress replies */ 
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

When the reply form is at its default location in a bbpress topic, the Visual tab works fine. But when the reply form pops up after clicking “reply” on a comment, the Visual tab fails to work (can’t type in it or see the contents). I reproduced the issue on my staging site for you to see:

http://staging-nexus.universaltheosophy.com/groups/test-group/forum/topic/test-group-topic/

I’m also using the “TinyMCE Advanced” plugin, but can verify that the issue with the Visual tab is independent of that plugin.

[Jon Fergus]

You’re a life-saver!! Works on my staging site and now it’s working on my main site also!

One other little thing though. I notice that the reply form appears below all sub-replies of a reply, instead of directly beneath the intended reply.

For instance, here: http://staging-nexus.universaltheosophy.com/groups/test-group/forum/topic/test-group-topic/

If you click on “reply” under reply #31, the reply form shows up beneath reply #32, instead of directly beneath reply #31.

Do you know if there’s a work around for that also?

[Robkk]

Here I just added a bbpress-functions.php file to a twentysixteen child theme. I edited out the conditional causing the issues with groups. You can test this on my test site as well.

You would have to remove the file later if the trac tickets patch I linked to is committed and you are using version 2.6 of bbPress, so that you can have the file enqueued on the pages where it is needed.

https://cloudup.com/czqFBqJE8TE

I think this will do it for you.

After you are done testing I will start nuking my test site.

[Robkk]

Ok. I found the problem: Buddypress.

The functionality of reply.js works for bbpress, but does not work if the topic is in a forum that is within a Buddypress group.

Just tested on your site, as well as my test site. And yes that BuddyPress is related to this issue.

May not specifically be BuddyPress and their code. I think there are tickets with bbPress’ BuddyPress extend code that might have issues with some conditionals in a bbPress post that is in a group.

Will look through bbPress trac for some possibly related tickets.

Edit: Found the ticket.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2974

It is pretty easy to workaround this issue as well, since all you have to do is enqueue the javascript with a different conditional or enqueue it sitewide, but doing it sitewide might cause another issue somewhere.

Will do some testing and get back.
