Yeah, I just updated and it works as well as before 🙂
It was a pleasure to support you by testing the plugin. Thanks again for your great work and fast solution!

Great – thanks for that.
So with the new version you got exactly the same bug – that’s annoying. I’ll try and work a better solution.
But I’m glad it works in a wider sense.
Once I have fixed that I’ll release it as a final live version with a version number one greater so that you get it.
Thanks again for testing for me.
Thank you, great job! I just donated 😛
First it didn`t work and gave me the same error message as before. So I updated the server to PHP 5.6 and activated the rc successfully. It works perfectly! After activation of the new feature I created a new group “common users” and assigned all subscribers to it. Next step I did was to set up the forums I wanted to be visible to all. Done in 5 Minutes…
I tested it with a few different test users and found everything working properly. The only cute lil bug I found is that the permission “Create/Edit Topics and Replies” appears twice in a row in the menu of the forum pages.
This is just an amazing Plugin!
Cheers 🙂
Thanks a lot for your fast work.
Unfortunately it doesn´t work on my test system. Activating after installation causes an error. It says it can´t be activated and gives me that error message:
Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /hp/bk/ab/vq/www/TR/wp-content/plugins/bbp-private-groups1/includes/meta-box.php on line 88
Apparently bbPress doesn’t recognize or work out the latest post (freshness tweak) when you have:
category -> category -> forum -> topic
Unless…there is a reply attached to that topic, then the latest post/topic will show up.
I am using 2.59 and the latest version of WP. Resetting the forum leads to the same result.
I somehow cannot open any topics. Frontend doesn’t work at all – when saving a new topic, it just reloads the page, nothing happens. In the backend, I can add a new topic, but its not displayed.
Any ideas? I disabled plugins one by one and tested, no luck. Disabled Cloudflare, nothing.
Hello
I’m trying to create a website which is only a forum. Therefore most recent topics posted will be on the homepage. It’s not being used yet, so there are just a couple of test topics.
I wanted to add a column called ‘Views’, so that there are the headings: Topic + Posts + Views +Voices + Freshness
Can anyone help me to do this? As you’ll see from my website (http://psychiatryadvice.com/), I’ve got the ‘Views’ heading in every topic, and not in the grey box where all the other headings are. This is skewing all the info.
I’ve added the Views information by editing loop-single-topic.php and using the plugin WP-PostViews.
I’m presuming it is a CSS issue I’m not addressing?
using:
WordPress 4.5.2 running twentysixteen-child theme
bbPress 2.5.9-6017
Many thanks.
Hello,
We have a problem on our site with loading shortcodes on /topic/ pages, as you can see in the link below:
http://www.futsverige.se/forums/topic/test/
However, the shortcodes work everywhere else. So the problem seems to be within bbPress suppressing the do_shortcode() calls from the theme.
Anyone knows what could cause this or point us in the right direction on how to circumvent it?
Thanks
I am currently developing a new forum site that has a conservative older target audience. I am not sure at this stage whether those users would appreciate the use of emoticons. However, I would like to test using emoticons once the site is live.
If I install a emoticon plugin (Mona Lisa for example) and then sometime in the future I decide to delete it, is there any easy way to remove the ;-), :yes:,:cry: labels that remain in the text of my user’s replies.
If these emoticon labels can only be edited manually from each reply, then removing an emoticon plugin in the future would create a huge editing problem.
The same issue would arise if, some time in the future, support is no longer provided for that plugin.
So given the potential editing risk of installing an emoticon plugin and then removing it in the future I would like to hear others comments and feedback regarding using emoticons on a forum pitched to an older, conservative target audience?
I suspect the (future editing) risks of installing an emoticon plugin on my site outweigh the benefits. I would be very happy to receive you views on this issue.
Thanks in advance for any input or feedback you can offer.
Kind Regards

Well in the end this issue beat me. It remained with all plugins deactivated and nothing in a mu-plugins folder. And yet I could find nothing amiss within WP core files. Started again from scratch for testing purposes and in the end just keep working with my vanilla version.
As I reported in my other thread it would seem that Robin’s Style Pack and the BBP Toolkit no longer play nicely together. That is unfortunate, given those plugins are perhaps the two most popular within the BBP stable.
Although I could not pinpoint the cause of issue that prompted me to create this thread, I suspect that it was created by one of the following plugins:
1. EDD
2. Super Socializer
3. TML
I have active support threads open with EDD and Super Socializer requesting a fix for the bugs I identified.
As for TML I would advise users to avoid it as it appears to mess with core files.
Thanks for the valuable support offered to try and resolve my problem.
Kind Regards
Max
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.
Then come back

There were features in both the BBp Style Pack and BBpress Toolkit that I desired.
Unfortunately when ever I installed both plugins, my site became buggy. There is a conflict between the two it would seem.
So I bit the bullet and created my own functionality plugin and used it and WP Custom CSS to create each of the features and styling I desired from the Style Pack and the Toolkit.
There are just three features that I couldn’t find any documentation for:
1. Changing the header label Freshness to other wording, and
2. Creating a “create new topic” link.
I am aware that the first of these features is also included in Robins other plugin called Latest Post (or something like that) however that plugin also includes another feature that I do not require (as I have coded my own)
And so my request. Can someone please provide me with:
1. a function snippet to change freshness to other wording
2. a function snippet to add a “create new topic” link at the top of a forum
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Kind Regards

You could use the private groups plugin, which lets you control who sees what forum, and then the widgets that come with that (recent topics, recent replies and latest activity) would display only those topic related to the group.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
Thanks a lot for your replies. I wonder why the demand for that feature is quite low. This is the first forum I created and setting up read/write permissions is one of the first things I thought about 😛
Robin you´re great! I will donate for some (some more 🙂 ) Coffee soon when we break through the problem. I could never ever fix that problem on my own since i am a really coding newbie.
Right now I don´t have a test site but I´ll clone the site I work with bbpress and set it up to another URL on saturday.
Thank you Robin, I´m really looking forward to get this fixed.
Cheers
@thebrandonallen I hope it helps. I almost want to try it now but no idea if it would break something. I do have a dev site maybe I could try it there for testing
If you’re on a test install, you can try turning on WP_DEBUG to see if it gives you anything useful. I also like to turn on WP_DEBUG_LOG, just in case the errors occur before output. This saves all of the errors to wp-content/debug.log.
Try running the importer with at least WP_DEBUG turned on (I think errors will appear in the live importer box). This should help you get a better understanding of what’s failing.
If nothing useful appears, then yes, try deleting the first 4899 rows from the offending db table. Sometimes the issue is PHP memory/timeout issues. There are steps taken to prevent these, but the importer process is intensive to say the least.
I’m trying to import a phpbb forum with about 50,000 posts into a local dev site.
It continually stalls at “Converting topics (4900-4999)”
I’m trying to follow the instructions here:
Import Troubleshooting
which say to make a copy of the db and drop all records except within the offending range and try the import again to isolate the problematic row.
Should I go into phpbb_topics or phpbb_topics_posted to try and look for the offending problem?
Once I have the right table, do I then delete the first 4899 rows that appear in the db?
I’m using the latest WordPress and have tried both bbpress 2.5.9 and 2.6alpha.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
The result being that there is some data leakage.
Yes 🙂 And I’ve seen this problem before on other platforms.
I’ll be testing out the combination of MemberPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress next week. I’m hopeful that it won’t dePress me if I run into troubles 🙂
The remaining issues will need to be solved via the MemberPress plugin.
Not necessarily. This might work:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-members-only/
I haven’t had the chance to test it yet … but Jared Atchison is the author, so hopefully it should be good to go.
It’s important that BuddyPress/bbPress is capable of protecting itself first before resorting to other 3rd-party/premium plugins.
It looks like part of it has been resolved.
However, the search option … and clicking on the latest post of a forum (the link above the most recent contributor) … remain visible, e.g.
– https://www.goalsarecool.com/forums/search/write+fiction/
– https://www.goalsarecool.com/forums/topic/never-give-up/
I’ve tested this, and cannot see where bbPress is translating the <pubDate>. Feeds use mysql2date() to generate the <pubDate>, and they pass false as the translate parameter. It’s been this way since feeds were introduced. Are you or your client using custom feed templates?
