Hi there,

I’ve been successfully clinging on to bbPress 1.2 (last standalone) with my forum, so far without any problems.

Sadly that changed about a month ago when the forum suddenly started fetching “wrong” time stamps for user posts.

Now when I say wrong time stamps, what I really mean is differing time stamps, from what I could observe of about one hour.

Lets say I post something at 2pm, then one of my users comes on and he posts a reply shortly after. Now that reply doesn’t get a time stamp of, say, 2pm1min, but instead 3pm1min. The forum will now treat this post as if it were posted in the future, resulting in the output “posted -1 year ago” until forum time is past 3pm1min.
The second and more urgent consequence is that if I or anybody else with the “right” time stamp assigned to them will post another comment within that hour, that reply will be added in the wrong order prior to the first reply.

As for solving this issue, I have tried to figure it out in the code (to no avail) and even did a rollback of the forum and database to March 2014 for test purposes, yet the issue persists.
This leads me to believe that it cannot be related to any bad code (especially since the software and Plugins haven’t been touched in months), but rather that there may have been a fundamental change in the way the date function in post.php works. I can’t even seem to figure out where bbPress would fetch it’s time data from.

Banging my head against the wall at the moment, any help would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers
Lars

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

@mnhfile

also try to test out on a local development area like WAMP or MAMP

install divi , bbpress, and then add the file to your bbpress folder in your divi child theme.

if you cant even get it on localhost , contact elegant themes support they also run bbpress on there support forums maybe they can help too.

[Robkk]

@atfpodcast maybe there is some setting that you accidently checked that might have caused the issue.

i just tested off of localhost and just using default settings in everything.

try testing on a local development area and see if it works

The bbPress project along with BuddyPress and WordPress is testing out Slack as our main real-time communication platform, replacing IRC chats for developer related discussions.

If you are a current contributor to bbPress or would like to start contributing and help with the development of bbPress then this is the place to come and have a chat.

A brief summary is here: https://codex.bbpress.org/participate-and-contribute/

Full setup details and how to request an invite to link your WordPress.org account with a Slack.com account are here:
https://chat.wordpress.org/ https://wordpress.slack.com/apps

Note: This is a not a new support channel or forum for bbPress support.

[Robin W]

you could start by giving us a fuller problem definition

They post a topic and YOU get a warning – when, what exactly does it say, where does it come up and when??

@atfpodcast

i already tested it out (on firefox) , and it did work the link moved at first but the second time it did work.

contact your theme author and also gd bbpress tools support and see if they can help on that link moving on the first time thing.

if you feel like gd bbpress tools quote just doesnt work because of your theme , change to a default theme like twenty fourteen then tell me the results.

there might also be other plugins conflicting with it.

so just leave bbpress and gd bbpress tools and see if it works from there.

then reactivate any additional plugins one at a time to find the problem.

I was doing some testing on forums with test posts. After I deleted them all from the admin panel and used the repair tool within WordPress it shows that there are “No Topics” in all the forums but the old forum topic/posts counts are still there. I tried clearing cache everywhere including browsers but the Topics/Post counts in the columns still exist even though there’s nothing inside the forum.

[mnhfile]

Sorry for making three topics on same issue because I understand it differently.
I have latest wordpress version 4 and I am using divi theme with drag and drop page builder.

When I say tabs it means “subforums” and “irrational legacy games”.

Are you talking about robin’s forum-loop.php file if then I don’t know how to use it…

Can you tell me how to make headings/tabs like “subforums” and “irrational legacy games”

[Robkk]

ok i will now test out your theme,

im going to have bbpress, gd bbpress tools , and thats it

first im going to test if i can design the forum like normal

then im going to try to see if gd bbpress tools works.

im come back to you in a minute.

[Robin W]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

try

function bbp_single_replies_show($args) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 3 ;
$args['max_num_pages'] = 1;
 return $args;
 }
 add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args','bbp_single_replies_show');

I have not tested – I am quite busy at the moment – but keep trying !

[atfpodcast]

Is there a plugin that adds this? I would love to see this. I have the latest worpress (4.0) and bbpres(2.5.4)

[jeffacubed]

I’m not entirely sure it’s a WP multisite core-architecture issue or a specific WP + BP in a multisite environment issue. When I have some ‘testing’ time set aside, I’m going to work through freshly re-creating this entire multisite user-registration conundrum w/ bbPress. The non-plugin sol’n involves having a distinct wp-signup.php files for each separate site across the multisites, though my first attempt at that did not work (likely something in the custom wp-signup.php I created, that I overlooked/mis-understood).

@lauramelos – As an intermediate sol’n (if your multisite bbPress user registration issue was the same as mine, in that all new registrations were re-directed back to the ‘root’ site), then Login with Ajax (LWA) did resolve that issue, at least for me (i.e new user registrations complete on the site the user is registering from, not re-directing back to the root (site ID=1)).

It’s on my ‘to do’ list to fully understand what’s really at play here…

Hi – the 1000 posts thing is a known issue which will be fixed in 2.6.

In the meantime do these two steps in order (but test them first! always test first):
1. change this code: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2615
2. run the “Recalculate the position of each reply” tool in Tools -> Forums

Again, test it all first before doing it to your live site.

Are you using bbPress 2.5.4? Prior to that, sending subscriptions was slowing things down, too.

[Harry1951]

Herewith the link to the (test) website:
http://test.chez-philipaud.nl

In the menu choose for forum and you get the forum as it should be. This one is with the permalink.
If you choose forum1 you get the output when using the shortcode.

I hope that it helps to solve the problem.

[galiulinr]

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/shortcode-on-the-page-php
I added [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] page post_type, how to make that outputs only 5 replies.
I added this code here:

function bbp_single_topic_query() {
		if(is_singular( 'download' )) {
		if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ) )
                bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'latest-topics' );   
      }
return;
	  }
add_action('bbp_template_before_topics_loop','bbp_single_topic_query');

it does not work for me. I maybe doing wrong?

[cubeacid]

Here is the picture of my forum structure:

That is the my Main page for forum. From this page I need to disable topic posting ability, so users cannot create any posts like above the posting box: Test, Test 2, Test 3 and so on…

So, the only thing there should be left are all the main topics which I created (the most upper ones). Then, when you go to one of those predefined topics, there whoever (participant …) user would be, he can create own topics within this main topic. So, topic posting would be working everywhere, BUT Main forum page.

I hope this will clarify more 🙂

Hi all!

I have found that bbPress is causing the buddypress bar not to show for regular users. It only shows up for my admin account when viewing the front-end of the site. You can test this by signing up for an account at http://www.raidenrattlehead.co.za and checking if the bar shows up for you.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Kind Regards

[Robin W]

ok, all I can suggest is a conflict with another plugin or your theme

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[kendorama]

I have a developer that has been trying the same code on his test site without it removing the reply/topic counts either.

[Robin W]

Come back with the results

[Barryman91]

Deactivating bbPress does fix the problem, though it could be a conflict between other plugins. I will try to debug them one at a time on a test server, thank you very much for the help so far!
