Hello,
I’m sorry, I do not speak English 🙂
Still, I created a translation for bbPress 2.5.8 and some of its extensions (Ultimate Member – Profile Completeness 1.1.9 and other working). Translation into the Czech language, already tested. Can be add it somewhere?
Plus I found a bug in the Czech translation, which is in the profiles – is possible fix it somewhere?

I’m sorry, but I’m almost blind, so I hard to find answers.

Thank you for your advice.
Mějte se krásně, Vendulka

Do you still have a problem?

I am unsure from your various rants what exactly the issue is – I need a problem definition to be able to help, and don’t know from your name ‘iapologizepleasedeleteme’ whether you have now fixed your issue.

If you still have the problem then – given that you have been pressing lots of buttons – I would suggest you contact you host provider and ask then to revert your site to a previous backup – almost all host providers take backups every 24 hours. This will get you site working again.

I would then invest some time in creating a test site – to do development in your live site is just stupid, as you have found out. See https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/testing-your-bbpress-installation/creating-a-test-site/

There is a new fix, rather an alternate that better detects and reflects the root cause of the issue:

Replace if ( 'publish' === $parent->post_status ) { with if ( ! empty( $parent ) ) {

The full details can be viewed in the WordPress ticket:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35084

And the latest patch:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/35084/35084.5.diff

Also please refrain from email, the bbPress team can only respond to issues we can read here in the public forums or our bug tracking and reporting system. If the current fix here is not working for you please add that here with as much detail as you can so that we can try and configure our forum configuration to match yours and reproduce the issue.

Hi,

I know I should be using the latest version of BBPress, but I can’t get it to import “correctly” and I don’t want to lose 7 years worth of posts.

With that said, I am moving my installation to a new host, and I keep getting these error messages. I have done this before, and didn’t have any problems.

So I am wondering why now?

I have a screen shot of the error codes here: http://fasteddypublishing.info/bbpress-error.png

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me figure if it’s something I am doing, or a problem with my new hosting server’s PHP.

Thanks!

Scott

My findings (I mailed those also to @robin-w – but again – I dont think that his plugin is causing and problems)

• I restored my test site back to 4.3.1
• Added some topics and replays to subforums (nested forums)
• Then upgraded to 4.4
• After I refreshed the logged in user there seems to be no difference at first
• This is the link : http://(my_test_site)/forums/topic/new-topic-in-4-3-1-in-subforum

/#post-288 (Located in home › Forums › Website › Site Suggestions)

• Clicking on “Site suggestions” gives oops – page cannot be found
• Clicking on “Website” gives me a list of availables forums (which is as it was in 4.3.1)
• Clicking Forums > NotNestedForum (which is not nested ofc) still gives me access to topics. Adding a reply to it also does work. Also does added a new topic.
• Any nested forum is still unreachable but when I go directly to #post-288 which is in subforum wp4.4 doesnt complain. I am able to reply to that topic. *But creating new topics doesnt work ofc*

So

• Going to apply the fix : if ( ! in_array( $parent->post_status, get_post_stati( array( ‘internal’ => true ) ) ) ) *does not work* so i reverted it back
• Toggling the rights from forums and users : doesnt work
• Going to apply the fix again : if ( ! in_array( $parent->post_status, get_post_stati( array( ‘internal’ => true ) ) ) ) *Still doesnt work*

Oke, what now…

• Unnest a forum (parent = root) oh yeah that works…
• Nest it again.. Again not accessible.

Since I made some changes with togglings rights and moving nested forums to the “root” of the forums I decided to restore my testsite once more and directy move a nested forum to the “root”

• ye – moving them to the top of the forumlist (unnest) is all I needed to do basically – sure there is a bug tho but the suggested fix is not a solid fix

The fix didn’t fix anything in my situation – I have no clue if the “bbp private groups” plugin has anything the do with it (to be fair – I think it does not) but reverting back to 4.3.1 is a *bad* idea. If you must restore and backup prior to your upgrade otherwise just stick to 4.4 and unnest the forums for now.

Hi

We are using bbPress plugin for our forums. We also have the bbPRess-wp4 installed and activated. When we create a private forum the forum topics show up properly. However when we click on the individual topics, it loads contents of the first topic in the forum. For example I have the following private forum called FEA Team. Under it are topics

Test1
Test2
Test3

bbpress Version:2.5.8-5815.
wordpress Version 4.3.1
Clicking on Test3/Test2 does not open the correct topic. It opens Test1- the first topic always. This happens only in private forums. I appreciate any help / info.

Thanks!
For any others that may need help:
In the latest wordpress installation the “BBloggin Widget” is called “BBpress Login widget” and you drop it in the “Primary widget area” which is located on the right of the middle.

[Col_Blimp]

no but just tested that and it has no effect.

[Pascal Casier]

Seems like you have done all the tests I know off, let’s search for other help.

Hey guys sorry to be the guy and post this I know its probably been post a milllion times. I am using the theme Shore for my Website because its just a theme that I enjoy. Bbpress & Buddypress seem to not want to work with this theme. I need a good forum and social section. I have tested by switching to 2016 themes it worked properly. I also enabled and disabled every plugin, even reverting back to early wordpress versions. Now is there anything I can do in the child theme to customize to get BBpress & buddypress working properly. I have basic knowledge of coding I did some in High School given enough time I can figure it out. Just getting pointed in the right direction would be huge.
My website http://www.wasdleagues.com/forums/
Let me know if you need more info I want to make this easy as possible for you.

Many Thanks
Mack

Hi all

I have installed the actual version of bbPress.
I am using Photolux theme and the forums are not readable
because of the color settings (font, background).
How can I change color settings of bbPress ?

Thanks and best regards

It seems the theory is that reverting from 4.4 back to 4.3 still leaves “something” that is breaking things. Does anyone know what the “something” is that is unchanged in the process of reverting to 4.3? What change in the database or a file? I would like to confirm that issue exists in my current setup and test my backup/restore process.

[shades404]

I did indeed go back to 4.3.1 which altered to database… thats true
So in short
1) upgraded to 4.4 > problem
2) downgraded to 4.3.1 > problem remains
3) re-upgraded to 4.4 > problem remains
4) “hacked” the function suggested by casiepa > problem remains
5) re-applied all setting as mentioned above (the “hack” at point 4 is still there)
Hope this enlights it a bit more > problem solved

Unfortunately i do not have a 4.3.1 > 4.4 situation anymore coz I did the same action also on my testsite

[shades404]

I have a testsite were I have (ofc) the same problem – I will check tomorrow toggling public/private with do the trick. To be fair – it did that (and ofc toggling the groups on the forum but after that uses were still complaining so I toggled all the users aswell – But I will check tomorrow on my testsite)

Hi all,

I am a newbie so I am sorry if this is an easy answer however I have not been able to find the answer or in the documentation.

I am setting up a forum on a small site and have installed bbpress. I am wondering how to remove the sidebar and add the correct sidebar for the forum options (login, register, search etc.) also is it possible to place these options above the forum? I was watching a tutorial on youtube which showed the sidebar added automatically after the install of bbpress but it may have been an older version.

I am currently using the latest wordpress 4.4, bbpress 2.5.8 and the esteem template. I did try to use twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen temprorarily but couldn’t add the sidebar under widgets as there was no bbpress sidebar.

Thanks,

Tom

No, what i’m trying to say is that when I went to create a test post, I was able to post to the generic Forums page. I don’t want people to be able to do that. I want them to only be able to post one of the 3 sub-forums.

Here’s the test post
http://www.practicesuccesstools.com/forums/topic/test-topic/

I hope that helps. This is more complicated that I thought it would be, but I’m sure once I get the basic format worked out, it should be fine.

Thanks for your help,

Deborah

I run a multisite and I’ve created a support forum. I want all the users to have access to post to this forum, so I’ve installed “Join My Multisite” plugin.
With this plugin, now the users can log in and post into the forum. But I’ve noticed (on one of the test users) that they get this notification: “Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.”
They are not admins of the forum, they only have Subscriber role, and no access to the dashboard. Still, they can post html

Can anyone, please, help me. Thank you

Best,
Mario

[dtmfcc]

Thanks so much for the custom CSS. That works great

I’m afraid I still don’t understand how the forums are working. I was able to create a test post to the generic Forums , rather than being restricted to one of the 3 sub-forums. I want postings to only be allowed on one of the 3 sub-forums. Can you tell me how to fix that?

[tharsheblows]

Thanks. The issue was introduced in WordPress 4.4 and there’s a patch available now. Could you test it to see if it makes it work for you? https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35084

[stewagner]

…thanks for testing Rob.
The link is created and sent by “bbPress Notify (no-Spam)”.
Another Plugin “bbPress Notify” uses the same link.
I know it is still possible to make a post, it is just complicated to first go back to the topic then scroll down dozenzs of replies before one can stake a new one.

Do you know of any way to notify a group of registered users about new topics and replies with an email that allows a direct reply?

I use Firefox but IE is not different.

[Robkk]

Haha sorry I didn’t notify you that your post has been split.

I assumed it is different from the topic you posted in, that is why I split it it into a new topic in the first place.

The refreshing when you click the reply link I think is normal. And when I tested it on your site, it does indeed drop down to the reply form to create the reply.

The link you posted of the reply, only leads to a single reply post not inside of the topic or near the reply form, so the reply link of course would not work in that case.

[stewagner]

… of course I also tried deactivating all CSS rules AND all plugins besides bbPress at the same time with no effect.

Here is a “reply to:” link:
rover.swiftease.de/reply/325/

I activated the reply button (“Antwort”) again for your testing.

Guys some devs and I are having a hard time duplicating this issue.

This is how I tested it and come across no issues.

WordPress: 4.4
bbPress: 2.5.8

I tried these default WordPress themes

2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016

I tried these forum structures.

Category > Forum > Forum
Category > Forum > Private: Forum
Category > Forum
Category > Private: Forum
Forum > Forum
Forum > Private: Forum
Category > Category > Category > Forum
Category > Category > Category > Private: Forum
Category > Category > Forum
Category > Category > Private: Forum

With the postname permalink structure (since it is most commonly used and I want to try to duplicate it)

Other things I like to ask is if this is a theme side 404 message being outputted or the normal no topics/forums found here message bbPress outputs like the one below (it could be different if you are using a different language than English for bbPress of course).

Oh bother! No topics were found here!

If you guys can help ask a few questions like the ones that @casiepa asked and these additional ones.

What is your bbPress version?
Have you already tried troubleshooting for a possible plugin/theme conflict?
Are you guys using BuddyPress groups for group forums?
Are the issues only happening on private forums? (Like @kpdub has said)
Did you try the postname permalink structure?

Another thing I may suggest to help try to gather information for the developers, is to try to duplicate the issue yourself. Try to duplicate the issue again on a local installation on your computer. If you can tell us step by step to duplicate it.

Creating a Test Site

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Guys,
I know that people are testing in the background, but please keep your findings coming. I was unable to reproduce the issue myself, but others are busy investigating…
Let’s hope to have a workaround soon.
Pascal.

[KPDub]

Yeah a rollback worked for me

In regards to user permission mods, I’ve used a combination of the following (but all were deactivated) and still had the problem.

Advanced Access Member by
AG Custom Admin
Restrict User Access
User Role Editor

However, didn’t test this on WP4.3 but my forums were originally created through buddypress, then added extra ones. The group with the subforums was private as were the forums. I was struggling to see them even after the rollback, but making them public solved the problem. This might be a solution here, although I think not as I’d of expected it to find the page but show nothing
