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

Hi Nicolas,

Ah, het studentenleven, waar is de tijd 🙂

It seems that any device with a screen going below 480 pixels in width will have this issue (try to use a browser on the PC and play with the window). You seem to be using a standard 2013 theme, but that does not seem to be the issue because I have the same behaviour on a test website with another theme.

Let me have a look around.

Pascal.

Hi,

I have a closed forum, but why my test user I got this message with I visit this forum !

“This forum is marked as closed to new topics, however your posting capabilities still allow you to do so.”

This test user has no specific role, just “participant”.

What can be the problem ?

Thanks

Robin.. thanks for pointing to topic-subscribe.

It works for me mostly. In testing, I found that when a new topic is held for moderation (I have things set for user’s first topic to be moderated), then once the topic is approved all other users get subscribed to the topic except the submitter, who is left unsubscribed. I guess the approval process is unsubscribing.

However, I modified your plugin to hook it on last in the actions:

add_action (‘bbp_new_topic_post_extras’, ‘rw_topic_subscribe’, 1, 99) ;

and now it seems to work even for moderated topics.

I also have bbPress auto subscribe for new topics and replies installed and moderated topics are not getting subscribed despite this plugin ticking the box. {I tested your plugin with this other plugin deactivated. This is probably the same issue although the solution may not be so simple – I have raised it on its support forum.

This may be a bit off-topic as it is not about new forums but I see no better place.

When I check my site with Google Structured Data Testing Tool, it’s giving errors for BBpress topic pages. How can I add structered data like author and date to topic pages?

Thanks

[stressebookllc]

Have no idea what that means, but it is essentially a copy of my live production site only for testing purposes.

[thinkDrew]

Thanks for the reply!

This is actually something I did before posting here (should have mentioned it) and while running the default 2015 theme, I am running into the same issue. This is the URL /forums/search/french+fries/ that is returning in the browser instead of the normal /?s=french+fries peram.

It’s strange as I have several other corporate wordpress sites running (not w/ bbpress) but have never had a problem with “out of the box” search widgets :)…

I will continue to test (only running 4 plugins) and see what comes from that.

[Robkk]

I could not reduplicate this issue on a default theme like TwentyFifteen.

Try it on your end on a default theme and see if you come across the same result.

Try it on a test site/local site with a WordPress default theme, then try with your current theme.

[Robkk]

I mean bbPress is free to use and your theme authors could just set it up and see what is causing the issue. For us we would have to pay or at least in the past paid for the theme first to even test it to see what is causing the issue.

You could hire a developer to fix this issue for you. After just googling if others had a similar issue I also found freelance sites/services that would do the job. Suggest you head to a freelance website for a dev to fix this up for you.

bbpress 2.5.8
wordpress (not sure how to find this since I have limited access to the cms. our company always updates to the newest version)

In the forums the create new post editor doesn’t display correctly. There is no text editor, area of a title or tag/topic. I get two empty boxes with background fill and a submit button. This is the same on a reply to a post. It was working at one point since we tested the forum. I have completely uninstalled the plugin from the FTP and uploaded a fresh download.

Well I do not really have any other suggestions on this. It is really tough to test a premium product like what you are using.

[Robkk]

See if this plugin fixes the issue you might be experiencing.

https://github.com/OptimizePress/op-bbpress-fix

The plugin seems to only contain a really small code snippet in it, so if you want to instead paste this code snippet instead you can also try that.

Add this function to your child themes (if you have a child theme) functions.php file, or add the php code snippet into a plugin that can hold custom php code snippets like the functionality plugin.

function op_allow_bbforum() {
    $forumPage = get_post(url_to_postid( "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ));
    if ($forumPage->post_type == 'forum'){
        op_update_option('blog_enabled','Y');
        op_update_option('installed','Y');
    }
}
add_action('init', 'op_allow_bbforum');

Make sure to test and see if this plugin/code snippet works for all of bbPress’ post types.

Hello,

I installed the latest version of bbpress (2.5.8) and the latest version of WP (4.4.2) and since I installed bbpress any time I try to view or access the forums I get a 404 error. I am using the Postname permalinks and have made sure they are updated. Also I have disabled all other plugins to make sure that they are not the issue.

The link to the forums is here.

I have updated the permalinks and tried everything that I can think of to clear the issue and am not sure what the issue might be.

[stressebookllc]

Dear Experts, need your help desperately. I have the latest of everything.

I am using optimizepress theme and have successfully used BBPress before. But the last time I checked it was quite a while ago, and now when I try to access the forums, I am being taken to the Optimizepress blog setup page and then redirected to the wordpress dashboard.

I received this response from Optimizepress tech support:
========
My suggestion would be to check with bbpress to see if something is not setup correctly. I’m afraid our support for bbpress is quite limited so all we can really do is check on our end for issues with OptimizePress, and I don’t see any.

Your blog works fine so there is probably something going on within bbpress that is conflicting.

Usually when we see issues like this where the blog setup shows it is a permalink conflict of some kind.

I would suggest deactivating plugins to see if perhaps something is going on between another plugin you have and bbpress. I don’t really think this is coming from OptimizePress specifically as we haven’t seen this exact issue on sites that just run bbpress and OptimizePress.
========

So I created a staging site, and deactivated all my plugins except BBPress, and Optimizemember, the membership plugin. I still have the same issue.

I have attached the image of the page below.

I think #2258 is pretty complex to implement but possible. Might take some days to do it i guess.

Here is my workaround:

in functions.php:

/**
 * for nicer permalinks:
 * 
 * from: forums/forum/name -> to forum/name
 * 
 * also required rewrite rules below in myThemeName_addRewriteRules
 */
function myThemeName_bbp_get_forum_permalink_withoutRootSlug() {
	return preg_replace( '/(' . bbp_get_root_slug() . '\/)/', '', bbp_get_forum_permalink()); 
}

function myThemeName_addRewriteRules() {
	/**
	 * add rewrite rules for bbpress
	 */
	
	// use this to test instead of clicking Save Changes in Settings -> Permalinks
	// global $wp_rewrite;
	// $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

	add_rewrite_endpoint(get_option('_bbp_forum_slug'), EP_ROOT);
	add_rewrite_rule('^'. get_option('_bbp_forum_slug') . '/(.*)?','index.php?post_type=forum&name=$matches[1]');
}
add_action('init', 'myThemeName_addRewriteRules');

Replacement in my custom loop-single-forum.php:
<a href="<?php echo myThemeName_bbp_get_forum_permalink_withoutRootSlug(); ?>">

Default bbpress templates use it at more places than my theme:

Found 5 matches of bbp_(get_)?forum_permalink in 4 files.	
loop-search-forum.php	
		<a href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>" class="bbp-forum-permalink">#<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?></a>      [position 18:18]	
		<h3><?php _e( 'Forum: ', 'bbpress' ); ?><a href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a></h3>      [position 26:58]	
loop-search-topic.php	
			<a href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ); ?></a>      [position 41:19]	
loop-single-forum.php	
		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>      [position 32:42]	
loop-single-topic.php	
				<span class="bbp-topic-started-in"><?php printf( __( 'in: <a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ); ?></span>      [position 68:102]

Update: Seems that the breadcrumbs need a hack too… 🙂

[Robin W]

since it uses wordpress registration, and wordpress plugin will work

several plugins for example

https://wordpress.org/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/
and

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/user-meta/

neither tested just suggesting examples !

[alsalam]

I would agree with @robkk, those links are worth a try. You can actually decide what works for you best by checking thier active instals and ratings by users. Then you can have a look at the screenshots to decide if that is what you would like to go with. I feel its better to go with somethings that has been developed already, tried and tested by users then tryin to build something fresh.

My choice from the lot (as mentioned by @rorkk):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-postratings/

[Robin W]

that’s interesting, I hadn’t spotted that bbpress did that, I just tested it.

Let me have a quick look to see if I can work a fix for that.

[Robin W]

if it isn’t still a caching issue, 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.

Hi All–

I know this issue has been covered a dozen times, but I can’t seem to find an appropriate answer as it’s always been resolved by running an update.

Whenever a reply is posted on our site, it fails to appear. We ARE using a custom theme, so I suspect that this is likely the root of the problem. However, if someone can help point more towards WHAT we should be including in our themes to make sure that the replies display, I’d be grateful.

Here’s a link to a topic page where the replies do not show:
https://www.mta.org/forums/topic/cmt-level-1-exam-ethics/

Thus far, I’ve already:
– Updated to the latest WordPress
– Updated to the latest BuddyPress
– Ran a repair on the tables
– Changed to a default theme to confirm it’s a theme issue

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

[Pascal Casier]

I’ve pasted code into functions.php files, almost anywhere I can

There is only 1 (one) functions.php where you should paste it and that’s the one in your (child) theme.

all the solutions offered take me nowhere

I have put all the code that I have on https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/setup-login-for-private-forum/. If you only go for the code, then make sure to deactivate any other redirection and/or security plugins (at least for the test).

the site is at tec.selwood.me
