just tested and bulk change isn’t working on my test site either

[Brandon Allen]

The unit tests are passing, so my guess is that it’s a problem with a plugin, or (less likely) your PHP setup. The $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] doesn’t include the protocol (http:// or https:// in most cases), so that shouldn’t be an issue.

My guess is that there is some other plugin that’s filtering bbp_get_do_not_reply_address incorrectly. Maybe even some code in your theme’s functions.php file. Could provide a list of the plugins you’re using. Specifically, bbPress or email related plugins?

Just installed bbPress on latest version of WordPress and the forum search feature does not work. When I do a search, it searches blog posts instead – actually only ever finds one blog post even if the search text does not exist. It does not search the forum.

Whats going on?

Hi,
I have the latest version of wordpress running (4.5.2) and latest version of bbPress.
Everything was working just fine before i moved my host from windows to Linux server.
Now i can see the forums and topics in each forum. but when i open a topic the content and replies are not shown in the pages, only the reply form shows up.
I can see the replies in the admin panel but clicking view from back end opens the front end reply to … without the reply content.

I have already tried these :
1) disabling all other plugins
2) switching to wordpress default themes
3) creating a new page with bbPress shortcode
4) copying the php code provided in other forums
5) removing and re-installing bbPress

it’s driving me crazy ! i have tried all 2 links on google’s 2 first pages for search results of “bbPress content not showing up”, “bbPress topic content not showing”, “bbPress replies not shown”,…

Best Regards,
Kaveh

Hi everybody,

I’ve been trying as suggested bbpress 2.6 alpha but the PhpBB import fails right at the beginning.
I’ve been already importing successfully by using the latest 2 versions and I’ve never faced this error before.

Also take into account I am running the import in the same environment and against the same data set.
Here the error:

SELECT convert(users.user_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_id,convert(users.user_password USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_password,convert(users.user_form_salt USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_form_salt,convert(users.username USING “utf8mb4”) AS username,convert(users.user_email USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_email,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_website USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_website,convert(users.user_regdate USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_regdate,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_aol USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_aol,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_yahoo USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_yahoo,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_icq USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_icq,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_wlm USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_wlm,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_facebook USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_facebook,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_googleplus USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_googleplus,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_skype USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_skype,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_twitter USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_twitter,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_youtube USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_youtube,convert(users.user_jabber USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_jabber,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_occupation USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_occupation,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_interests USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_interests,convert(users.user_sig USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_sig,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_location USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_location,convert(users.user_avatar USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_avatar FROM forum_users AS users LEFT JOIN forum_profile_fields_data AS profile_fields_data USING (user_id) WHERE users.user_type !=2 LIMIT 0, 100

Not sure yet what the problem is.
I’ll do my little investigation and I’ll let you know.

I am very new to wordpress and installed bbpress, but I’ve noticed that I don’t have the option to delete a post I created. How can I generate a link for this on created posts?

Update: I realise that you need to be a moderator. I was testing with a standard/ordinary account.

[Robin W]

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.

[laymission]

Thanks!

I’ll test these fixes out and see what happens.

[dot]

Yes! It turns out it’s a known issue with Learndash. That link goes to a support log-in for their FAQ, which provides a workaround. To be honest, I only found out about this after stopping using LearnDash, because the problem made the site essentially unusable. So I haven’t tested it for myself.

[Digital Arm]

After upgrading to PHP 5.5 and running a compatibility test on a site, it has flagged the use of a deprecated modifier being used in preg_replace functions.
These occur on lines 1149 and 1150 in file /includes/admin/parser.php

1149 | ERROR | preg_replace() – /e modifier is deprecated in PHP 5.5
1150 | ERROR | preg_replace() – /e modifier is deprecated in PHP 5.5

Could you please let me know the best way to replace the code with the preg_replace_callback function and let me know if this is likely to be updated in a future patch as this can be seen as a security concern.

Thank you

Hi,
I have “Recent Forum Topics” on my homepage with the latest forum topic posts and it includes:

Topic | Username/User | Freshness

Can I somehow add Forum category that specific topic was made?
Example:

Topic | Forum Category | User | Freshness
>
“Gamers unite” | Gaming | Bob | 5 minutes ago

Thanks!

Note: There are no changes between a test user and a ‘normal’ intended user.

Hello,

I have a forum currently set up for our organization. I am using some fellow employees to test it but it looks like people are able to go in and make posts for our blog (saved but not published in the Contributor, Participant roles). I don’t want that. Users should only be able to post to our website forum, and nothing else. Is there a line of code that I’m missing for this?

I would also like to know if there is a way to mask being able to see one another user’s posting stats. TIA!

website is creatingourcommonwealth.org. Our WordPress template is Ribosome, if that helps any.

Hello,

I am trying to setup my forums so that moderators can create forums on the front end of the website without having to login to wordpress with admid aka Least Privilege Rule.

However Ive exhausted many different potential solutions with no fix including:
-Modifying the Roles and verifying the ability to Publish Forums
-Granting Users the Moderator Privilege as well as making test Users for trialing

I cant imagine im the only one with this issue however I cannot find similar topics previously posted on here or google with the answers im looking for.

My URL is gamingcommunity.us

Hi! This is for a client’s site, which is budpubs.com. We’re using WordPress 4.4.3 (his theme isn’t quite compatible with the latest version of WordPress, and the theme dev is no longer supporting the theme..=P) and the latest version of bbPress.

For some reason, the gravatar images aren’t showing within the forum. I tried looking for a thread that addressed this before creating my own, but I couldn’t really find anything specific to my problem. Has anyone here come across something like this before? Thanks!

[dinowong]

Two weeks ago I installed bbPress, there was the “forum” tag in the admin dashboard. I uninstalled it soon after I installed as I did not have any use back then.

But today when I reinstalled a few times, the “forum” tag did not appear at admin dashboard. Neither did the introduction page of bbPress that has the “go to settings” link appeared.

I tried on my other website and it has no problem. Please advice how to get the normal installation running.

Both are running on the latest wordpress.org version.

Hello,

I have followed the directions found here:

http://www.itsupportforum.net/topic/how-to-change-the-freshness-date-time-to-the-name-of-the-last-topic-in-bbpress/ to change the “freshness” from a date, to a topic title. I am happy with this, BUT… I am still having two issues.

1.) The freshness is still showing after the topic title example “1 month ago ____”
2.) The “Freshness title is still showing and I would like to re-name it to something else such as “Latest,” but instead re-name “Topics” to “Latest” to keep formatting correct.
3.) I would like to remove the remaining titles (such as “Posts,” & “Freshness”from the forum page as well, since they are not being used here.

If anyone could help me accomplish this I would be very thankful!

Example of our forum is here:

Thank you!

You were right … and the winner is “Instant Articles for WP” 🙂 thought that was caused by bbpress but further testing also saw troubles with Envira and ACF … seems that all custom post” have problems now 🙂

[Robin W]

suggest you try re-installing

@robin-w Thanks Robin. I still need to use the loop-single-reply as it is, what I’m trying to do is call an additional custom loop that also threads. (I’m putting an index of linked post titles above the threaded replies. Example on my test site: http://jpr-test.com/boards/topic/lets-make-a-giant-thread/ )

The solution I came up with isn’t very elegant, but it works. I ended up creating a copy of the BBP_Walker_Reply class with a different name, just to direct it to a different loop. Seems like a lot of duplicated code to change one line. But I can’t think of any other way to do it.

[backstreetnomad]

Hi,

I have just installed bbPress on my existing website but any new topics or replies in these topics cannot be viewed (regardless of whether or not they done at the back or front end).

http://www.nextleveltravelblogging.com/forums/

The exception is if I make the topic sticky, it will show, but then the content and replies inside the topic do not. (I’ve tested this).

Feel free to make a few test topics/replies to see for yourself if need be.

I have tried reading some previous and similar forum posts so I have done the recalculate steps in Tools. I have also deactivated most plugins to no avail.

I have a feeling it will be my theme being the issue, but I am not going to install another theme just to test at this stage because I know I will lose stuff. If I’m going to install a new theme (which I’m not strictly opposed to doing) it will be to one I know works (I have another) and will keep it long term. But I’m looking for the solution that will be the least hassle as I want to get this up and running.

I’m on WP 4.5.2 and the latest bbP.

Thanks.
Luke

How can I get the post author’s name to appear in the reply RSS feed?

When someone posts, they (must and do) fill out their name, in the “Your Name” field. (That field has id=”bbp_anonymous_author” name=”bp_anonymous_name”.)

But the post author doesn’t appear in the RSS feed. The author is blank:
<dc:creator></dc:creator>
https://zimfest.org/topic/rides-offered/feed/

How can I get bbPress to recognize that field as the reply author? (It’s not actually anonymous!)

The forum is here:
https://zimfest.org/rideboard/
(The URL will change when this goes public)

What you see so far is just my own testing. This is a new bbPress forum that’s not public yet. I plan to make it public soon, as a way to create a (very basic) ride board.

WordPress 4.4.3; Responsive theme with customized child theme; bbPress 2.5.9; bbP Toolkit plugin (1.0.6); bbPress Moderation plugin (1.8.3).

I’ve created (I believe) a fully moderated forum by using the Moderation plugin. No one is expected (or able) to register on the site, but all posts must be approved (by me) before they appear. (This is how WordPress comments work when moderation is required.) I was surprised to discover that bbPress won’t do this on its own, and getting this behavior with the Moderation plugin is a little convoluted (difficult).

I’m not using bbPress’s subscription system. Instead, we have we manage our a mailing list in MailChimp that sends new posts via RSS to email. This works well for our blog posts and comments, but I need to fix some details in the forum RSS feeds. The blank <creator> RSS field causes my emails to say “by Anonymous”.

(In the RSS feeds, you will see my name as the author of a few posts, because I logged into WordPress before making those posts. But I don’t expect reply authors to log in; they won’t be able to do so.)

Also, how can I remove “Reply To:” from the title in the RSS feed? What line in which file (template?) do I need to modify?
<title><![CDATA[Reply To: Rides Offered]]></title>

First time posting here. Thanks for your help (and I hope I’ve followed protocol).

I posted this yesterday, but it has not appeared on the forum. I’m guessing that’s because it contained 3 links, so needed to be approved. Apparently it was not approved. I have removed one of the links this time (link to a 2nd RSS feed).

[designbysue]

That did not work. I still have the wrong widget showing up. The added page is displaying – I know because I added some text to test it, and even though I change the sidebar to the one I want the incorrect one is still showing up. I even tried to remove it and make the page full width and that did not work – the wrong sidebar is still there. Sure hope someone can help me solve this.

Thanks
Sue

I’ve just tested my phpBB 3.1.19 phpBB test install and everything worked perfectly without changing the founder state of an admin account:

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Just for testing, make sure your forum is ‘Public’.
Do you see the topic in the backend, so under ‘Topics’ ? Is the status ‘open’ and is it correctly ‘published’ ?

You might try to run the recalculation tools (one at a time) in ‘/wp-admin > Tools > Forums > Repair Forums’ to see if that helps after you have created a topic.

Pascal.
