ok, that’s most of the way there

what the code does next is to look in wp_bp_xprofile_data for the value where data type 20 (‘city’) and the user_ID exist.

select VALUE from $xdata where ID  = '$xpid' AND user_id = '$user_id' 

so either the $user_ID is not correct or there is no data in there

I can cut another test version to look further, but in case I can shortcut it, arr you any good at being able to look at the mtsql database?

If so I’ll come back with further instructions, if not, I’ll cut a further test.

Hello,

I have installed the GD bbPress attachment plugin but the attachment button is not appearing. I have tried researching into it but cannot work out why it is not working. Please help!

Wordpress version is 3.9.2 and bbPress version is 2.5.4.

Many thanks!

So, this is my forum http://mmo4teen.com/forum/topic/still-another-testing/
and as you can see. The quote color is not very good. Does anyone know any css code I can use to make it look better, like normal grey in other forum ?

[Robin W]

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.

[Robin W]

ok, I am trying to help you, but there are thousands of wordpress themes, and I have no idea what sidebar 2 and 3 are supposed to do.

which would you like to achieve

a full width forum or show both sidebar 2 and sidebar 3, and if the latter can you create a testpage with just some text on and post the url, sop that I can see what it should look like.

[cybarmitzvah]

Well, heres the deal, the “freshness” ( I changed to latest activity) on http://www.astronomertalk.com, is way off.

http://www.astronomertalk.com

As you can see, some things say no latest activity when there is, and some just have the wrong dates.

This seems to happen every few days on the forum, but I recently realized it may be connected to this error that pops up on the page for a minute or so then disappears for a few hours:

Fatal error: Cannot call overloaded function for non-object in /home/vaghar123/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 529

I contacted go-daddy and they said the error message had to do with a plugin, but could not help further. Google seems to point that its a common problem with Godaddy customers with no solution. (yes I have web hosting from them).

If anyone has any ideas here please post,

Best,
CB

[cybarmitzvah]

well it keeps popping up every few hours for about a minute then going. It also seems to be messing up with the “freshness” tab (latest activity on our site). Does anyone know what plugin might be causing it?

[KevinBCarney]

I thought you would like to know my hosting provider persevered and created a procedure to resolve this issue. It was….

=== From the support engineer ===
1. Deactivate the bbPress plugin.
2. Find the database version in the wp_options table and reset that back to “1”. I could have picked an actual WordPress database version (and probably something as simple as the most recent), but I knew this worked from the testing on the development site.
3. Once the database version was manually set back to 1, I had to navigate to: https://zippe.biz/wp-admin/upgrade.php. This forced WordPress to run all of the database upgrades required to get from version 1 to the latest version of the database (27916).
4. Once the upgrades had completed I needed to reset the account password for our account. I noticed this was required on both the staging site and the live site, so my hunch is it may have reset some keys. You’ll likely need to do this for all of your accounts as well.
5. After the password had been reset I was able to login and the dashboard loaded normally.

Up i can’t fix the problem only the forum page load in full width, the childs load with right bar themeplate

child, dont load in full width

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve cut a version that will help debug

can you

deactivate and then delete my buddypress profile information plugin
download a new version from

bbp buddypress profile information

and activate

Then set just the first field to show, say your city one

Then go into forums, you’ll (hopefully) see a whole load of information.

Basically I need to know exactly what it says

to save you typing copy/paste the following and add answers

table prefix :
xfields :
xdata :
xpid :
xdata2 :

This will help me see where it might be going wrong.

I wouldn’t rule out a localhost issue, ie it’ll work fine on the net, but not locally, some forum parts don’t like being local. It works fine on my test site 🙂

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your advice – I have done some more testing and its not actually stopping completely – Once its past 12k replies it starts going very slowly.
Im up to 13,500 replies now but its incredibly slow, I wonder if there are any tips / solutions for this problem ?

[Stephen Edgar]

I am expecting this will be a reply in the source database has some weird content.

To quote @JohnJamesJacoby here:

These types of faults are typically due to some encoding issue in that post. Sometimes this is from an encoding conversion to UTF8 that was done at some point. Whatever it is, it’s nearly impossible to detect without setting a time limit on queries and bisecting the difference until we can narrow down the offending entry, and skip it. Because queries could naturally take a long time, and because it results in missed data, I’m not comfortable with this approach.

The workaround is to find and delete the offending reply which is time consuming and tricky but the only way at this stage.

Here’s how I do debug this and find the offending topics/replies:

• Once the import hangs, click stop, take a note of where it was up to, e.g. Converting 11,299 – 11,300
• Click start again and the import will continue from where it left off
• If it hangs again, take note of where it was up to again
• Once finished make a fresh copy of the source database
• Now drop all the rows in the database that are not in the range of rows that failed during import
• Perform a fresh import using this database with the “Rows Limit” setting set to 1
• The import should hang on the offending topic/reply
• Again, take note of the topic/reply it was up to
• Click stop, click start again to continue on
• Once you have your list of offenders and the import has finished delete these rows from this database and test again to make sure it completes without hanging
• Now back in your full database (presumably a copy of the original) delete these same rows from the database and run the import again

This is the Image of forum. Right above the emoticons there is a letter “p”. I am not too sure what that is for:

i dont really know either, but i think it indicates what heading style you are on , you see that list box that says paragraph click Heading 2 , now your p symbol should show h2

This is the image of what user posted on the forum and ended up with all the codes showing up:

it might be because participants cant post any other html tags than what bbpress allows, im not for sure though.

easy way to test it is for keymaster to post using span style, if it works then its allowing participants to use restricted html.

The user just replied that once he highlight any part of the content, that’s when it shows with all the codes.

how??

link me to your site ,give me some demo login details and ill sign up and try it out??

[Robin W]

When I migrated the site to my clients server for testing I was disappointed to find that neither topic creation or reply posting was working.

when you say not working, exactly what do you mean, the ability to reply doesn’t appear? or it appears but doesn’t work?

I suggest that you also positively eliminate the theme as a contender and as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

maybe 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.

Hi again Stephen,

I am importing the database now and its ticking on.

I am starting the wp/bbpress site from scratch so there is nothing there. This is a test import.

I have 3 questions:

1. I checked importing users (3 rd from end on configuration page) as want to import my users as well. Was that correct?
2. Lets say everything looks good. Can I only import the last few days on top of this then or do I need to start over again? Would like as little downtime as possible when I go live.
3. Cant figure what the 2nd from last checkbox is for “Start Again”. Is there a guide explaining all this more in detail?

Cheers

Wordpress Version – 3.9.1
bbPress Version – 2.5.4-5380

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a project over the last month that was working perfectly on my local Mamp server. When I migrated the site to my clients server for testing I was disappointed to find that neither topic creation or reply posting was working.
I’ve disabled all plugins except bbPress (even though they all worked on my server), reset permalinks and I know the theme I created wasn’t a problem because it worked perfectly in dev.

I’m a little stressed at this point as this week was supposed to be for testing and final rollout and that’s all come to a screeching halt without this basic functionality.
Would really appreciate any help I can get with this.

Thanks a lot!

@kevinbcarney The Deleting Conversion Table… Failed is nothing to worry about, this is just cleaning up and removing the extra database table if you had previously imported forums.

@jordanpinski wrote

“My issue with the plugin is the ‘edit’ feature on posts doesn’t work”

Could you clarify what you mean by this, editing WordPress Posts or bbPress topics/replies?

Rob is also correct above (presuming you do want to delete all bbPress data)

• Run “Reset Forums”
• Deactivate bbPress
• Uninstall bbPress plugin

I’ve just tested this and I have no issues accessing the dashboard after performing the above steps.

Caveat: You are correct that the bbp_keymaster role is still assigned to the user in wp_usermeta, though this should not block access for you to WordPress’ dashboard, there is a tweak to the uninstall/deactivation for bbPress 2.6 listed here in #2580. I also came upon another issue that I’m updating a patch for now, but again, none of this should be stopping yopu from accessing the dashboard after deactivation and/or uninstall.

As Rob wrote, what other plugins are you using that may conflict with this? It could be any plugin role or capability related and/or other plugins that extend bbPress functionality.

[Robin W]

ok, i’ll load it on my test site

[Robkk]

like change the order of how the replies display??

latest post on top , first post on the last page??

[Robin W]

untested but the following bar typos should work – add to your functions file

function role_show () {
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $user_id );
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ||$role == 'bbp_moderator')  $args['show_role'] = true ;
else $args['show_role'] = false ;
return $args ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'role_show' ) ;

Stephen,
Sorry for the poor explanation. On each topic post or reply, next to the author’s name is Details. Clicking that opens a menu of items, more for the moderators, less for non-registered users. This gives me options like the IP number, the post number, the date, Edit, Close, Split, Stick, Merge, Trash, Spam, Reply. I use this, and so do my moderators, to spam posts simply. I also use it to split topics off from the parent. Details would not open yesterday, I wanted to split a topic, but couldn’t.

Interestingly enough, I also simultaneously had a new problem with a NextGEN HTML5 slideshow playback on the forum pages not loading which I have also been trying to fix (following a NextGEN upgrade.) Today I changed the settings on the slideshow to Flash playback to see if that worked, it did, the slideshow plays.

And now, the Details are working again in the replies. So this is not a bbPress problem, at least I don’t think so. Something is funky with HTML5, whether it is just NextGEN or something on the server (PHP version?), well I can’t figure that out yet. But trying to load the HTML5 slideshow did mess with the Details display.

Bingo's latest blood test

Sorry to bother you,
my best, Matoca

Hi guys,

on my forum http://www.astronomertalk.com, I changed freshness to say latest activity, all was well for a few days, but now it says my latest activity was 1 day+ ago on my first category, when if you click through you can see it was only 1 hour ago… Does anyone know why it is saying this?

Best,
JB

Additionally, how can each user change their timezone so the posts have the right time next to them?

[joeyaberle]

I have entered 10 under the Topics and Replies Per Page in Forum Settings. Yet, my most popular topic is showing a total of 143 replies on one page. Any ideas?

http://www.20sb.net/forum/topic/your-latest-post-part-1-new/

Wordpress: 3.9.1
bbPress: 2.5.4
BuddyPress: 2.0.1
BuddyBoss Theme: 3.2.1

[Robin W]

ok, could be a number of issues

start with theme and plugin as 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.

Then look at the documentation to see what else you might need to do
