Hello everyone!

First let me say, that I am not sure if the problem is coming from bbpress. Please let me know it is a general problem.

The reason I am posting the problem here is, that it appeared right after todays bbpress-update, and there’s also a reference in the message.

This is the error message I am reciving (debugging enabled):

Warning: mysql_connect(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50535 Library:50617 in /home/www/xxx/www/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1372

The strange thing is, that I am running an exact mirror of the page and db on a subdomain, where I am testing plugins, etc. There I am not getting the error.

I did had a search on google, but couldn’t find anything helpful. As I am not a coder or server-tech myself, I am a bit lost here. I did try a few things, like disableing plugins, or enabling another theme. But nothing helped so far.

Here’s a list of plugins I am using right now:

• (BuddyDev)BP Poke
• Advanced Custom Fields
• bbPress
• bbPress New Topics
• BuddyPress
• CodeStyling Localization
• iThemes Security
• Members
• Regenerate Thumbnails
• Require Featured Image
• rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress
• Tehnik BBPress Permissions
• WP Smush.it

I thought it might be a problem with iThemes Security, so I tryed to disable a few things, and also disabled the whole plugin. But the problem is still the same.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best regards,

Lumartist

I’m really not sure what else I can suggest, my recommendation still stands to upgrade WordPrress and bbPress to the latest versions.

The only other suggestion that ‘may’ work when using bbPress 2.5.4 without the Thesis Theme compat is to add a bbPress wrapper template in your theme directory that may stop issue 2 from occurring.

Try creating a file in the root of your theme called bbpress.php and putting the following code into it

<?php
/**
 * bbPress wrapper template.
 
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

What version of vBulletin 3 did you import from?

The vBulletin 3 importer hasn’t had a great deal of testing, a quick look at the database I have here is v3.6.4

During the import did the status update showing that your ’86 forums, 12,000 threads, 346,000 replies” had been imported or are they just the stats from the vBulletin stats? (Trying to determine if you they actually all were imported or not)

[jacuzzy]

Alright, did not bump any topic > 12 months, and will not do so.

So here’s where I’m at: Figured out a fresh bbPress install from 2.1 and above has issue 1 resolved for me.
But with bbPress 2.4.1, the version I’m running, I still needed the most updated bbPress-Thesis compatibility pack to fix issue 2. Unfortunately, the bbPress compatibility pack only goes up to 1.2.4 (what I’m now running), and was only actively being updated until bbPress 2.1 or so.
I tried running a clean bbPress 2.5.3 (no compatibility pack), and issue 2 occurs. Adding the compatibility pack breaks 2.5.3 completely (and I’ve not invested time looking into code).

What’s happening now is that issue 1 (HTML for editor inside editor when editing topics) is now occurring when I try to edit replies. So I’m still having issues with the visual editor.

What puzzles me is that in the Thesis forums, some other users talked about having troubles with their visual editor as well, even with the latest (1.2.4) compatibility pack. But supposedly, someone found a fix and crossposted it in this topic and in the Thesis forums. In the Thesis forums, he claims that this fix is implemented since bbPress 2.2, but I’m running 2.4 and still having issues with the editor?

The code fix in the above link also does not work for me, since in 2.4.1, bbp_replace_the_content is no longer a method that exists in theme-compat.php. Considering that the symptoms of my current issue seems to be the same as original issue #1, I would think the fix would have something to do with a similar problem where a function is being called twice, but have no idea where to begin looking. Any ideas?

I am having the same issue all over my forums. We are using the latest versions of bbpress and BuddyPress.
bbPress 2.5.3
Buddypress 2.0.1

[Stephen Edgar]

Sorry but you only asked how to reset bbPress 1 day 3 hours ago as I write this :/

I’d suggest setting up a test install and see if you still have the same issue, you can then compare the settings between both sites.

[Stephen Edgar]

Oh! Ok, strange decision not to update where said updates may actually fix your issues so I’m not sure what we can do here to help out and I’d suggest you mention that if you are being asked to ‘fix things’ that could have already been fixed in newer versions, not specifically saying the issues have been fixed but there are vast improvements nevertheless.

I am not aware of any specific Thesis compatability issues, might be something to research through the Thesis community support forums, again you might find the latest Thesis compatability pack supports bbPress 2.5.x and have to roll back a version that works with bbPress 2.4.x.

I haven’t used s2member so I really cannot advise how best to do anything with it 😉

You could take a look at this plugin that when viewing a users profile in the backend will show you each of the bbPress capabilities assigned to a user that may help you narrow down the issues.

I can’t get the correct widgets to show on my main forum page.

All the other forum pages are listing the widgets correctly, except the main forum page. Any suggestions?

Currently on WordPress 3.9.1, the latest bbPress version. Link to site – afc1903.co.uk (note the site actually launches tomorrow evening (5th June 2014 at 7.30pm GMT)

I recently installed the eMember plugin (from Tips and Tricks HQ) and have been running bbPress and the Royal Slider slideshow plugin on my site. When all three plugins are running, however, my home page slideshow stops working. I contacted Royal Slider about the issue and they got back to me saying there is a JS error that is blocking the execution of the slideshow-and the source of it was bbPress.

My site: dev.detoxtheworld.com
Wordpress version 3.8.1
Running bbPress version 2.5.3
I’ve tested the problem using a default theme and it still occurs.

Here is the script from which the conflict originates: http://dev.detoxtheworld.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/templates/default/js/editor.js

Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and, even better, how to fix it?

Mod Edit: I removed the code and added a link to the source for improved readability.

[John James Jacoby]

Add some debug logging to bbp_set_current_user_default_role() to narrow down the cause,(likely with dumping out the call stack.)

You should be able to cowboy code something if you’re able to reproduce the issue with a test user account. If you’re able to come up with explicit instructions on how to duplicate this on an installation that only has bbPress running, I’d love to fix anything that isn’t behaving correctly.

[JLent14]

Awesome thank you. This current theme is the child theme but I will test this out. Possibly the images are uploaded too large ? I will check my plugins as well. Thank you.

[Robin W]

yes the links are set as white in the display

try adding this to your style.css

#bbpress-forums .reply a  {
color : blue !important ;
}

#bbpress-forums .reply a:hover  {
color : green !important ;
}

I haven’t tested, but should work, come back if you need more help !

[kowarler]

OK, I’ve set up the registration process and completed a test sign up etc.

My new ‘user’ can reply to a topic but NOT add an image (eg: link from photobucket), do I need to change anything in the settings (tried editing user to participant and contributor, but nothing changed) or do I need to add another plugin?

Thank you!

[Stephen Edgar]

Hmmmm, this is not going to be quick nor easy to solve at this stage. There are quite few updates for pasting from Word and Excel slated for WordPress 3.9.2 but I haven’t tested any of them for bbPress, I’ll take a look in the next few days.

[Stephen Edgar]

It is pretty tricky to do by hand, actually I have never down it for more than one or two posts to verify the integrity of bbPress’ repair tools. The repair tools pretty much deletes everything relating to the ‘last activity’ and recreates it from scratch, this is why I think maybe your import didn’t import everything accurately the first time.

If you have only just performed the import I’d suggest setting up a test site and do the import again and ‘play’ around there and see if it then works, if so redo your import on your main site.

Also, it was phpBB v3 you imported from?

[Stephen Edgar]

It depends how you are replacing the WordPress comments with bbPress replies, if your using a plugin for this then I would look to the plugin being an issue and go to that plugins support forums to find any known issues.

If you are doing this manually using bbPress then per your original post here:

For the past two weeks or so I’ve had a problem in the forums on my site where members comments no longer appear immediately. It can take a while for them to appear. I’m not sure how long, but several minutes.

This could be a performance issue, I would start by running some tests on a test post, add a reply and time how long it takes to appear in your sites backend as you state that the ‘do appear’, just not immediately, try using the Twenty Fourteen theme and disable all your other plugins except bbPress and time how long it takes now.

You might find your theme and plugins and using all the resources available in your web hosting plan, if this is the case contact your host to see what options or suggestions they may have for you.

[Robin W]

getting it to display is easy !

bbpress deosn’t use ‘the content’ function in its loops, so we need to hook to the bbpress content function which is bbp_get_reply_content

So you just add a second filter after line 15, this then puts the ratings in the display

{
    add_filter('the_content', 'spr_filter', 15);
	add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_content', 'spr_filter') ;
}

Then the next bit of the plugins code looks at whether we have an individual post/page or are in a loop – a list of pages/posts.

If just one (is_singular) then it will display the rating, and let you add one.
If in a loop then it simply displays, and doesn’t let you alter, or that’s what I think it’s doing

so to get it to understand that we’re in a list of replies (ie loop-single-reply) we test that we’re in bbpress

so we add a test for bbpress into the first function viz

foreach ($list as $list_)
    {
        if (is_bbpress() )
        {
            if ($options['position']=='before')
            {
                $content=spr_rating().$content;
            }
            elseif ($options['position']=='after')
            {
                $content .= spr_rating();
			
            }
            break;
        }
		if (is_singular($list_)&&$options['where_to_show'][$list_]&&$disable_rating!='1')

Ok so that does the display (at the moment for both topics and replies, but that’s easily fixed later)

What I can’t work out quite is why the amend doesn’t work. I think it is because the javascript/ajax is using spr_rate, but expects that to be part of $_post, but that’s may be failing as we are sort of in a bbpress loop at that stage, not in an individual post, so I dontl know what’s it looking for as post_id.

Anyway I’m rubbish at ajax/js etc. so am just poking code in the hope of finding a fix.

So that’s as far as I’ve got for now !!

Got some strange permalink thing going on with existing users. They are all part of a private group as per Robin’s private group plugin. I created a new user to test and that user can post new topics as normal in the forum. However existing users, when they post a new topic, are creating topics with the ?post_type=topic&p=6609 type slug, not the pretty permalink.

I have reset Permalinks under settings. I have tried changing them and then changing them back but this doesn’t seem to be relevant since new subscribers can post no problem.

I checked the private group members and noticed that they had a couple of permissions set to ‘deny’ that the new user had set to ‘allow’. These included View Private Topic, but again this can’t be relevant as the forum is actually public. I have checked and double checked the differences between the existing forum members and the new forum member and they are now the same, but the existing users can still not post creating the pretty permalink.

Any clues/pointers/checks?

Hi Robin. To answer your questions; I only need this to attach to books, so only for bbpress topics. I don’t want replies rated. I tested it on wordpress posts, and it works there, but I’m not using wordpress posts. Probably the only modification I’ll make is to let users change their rating. Right now, once you give a star rating, it won’t let you change it later. Yes, I agree; it needs to hook to bbpress. It seems like it would be easy to do that, but I’m not certain.

[kowarler]

Just to be clear, here is the index page…

http://thesaabenthusiasts.co.uk/forums/

if I click on a forum link – I get this layout

any idea what could be causing this?

Hello,

I am using the latest BuddyPress with the bbpress forums. For some reason on my forums page my images and margins are out of whack. I didn’t do anything different to them. You can see here http://www.passingrass.com/forums/ Ive tried re-sizing them and it didn’t help. I also tried to re-install them.

Any advice would help. Thanks.

[Anonymous User 13302461]

I mean of course a forum parent (category) –
putting its ID in the widget should show all the latest replies from the category’s sub forums….but doesn’t work.

Anyone?

[Hymer]

I test BBPress forum in http://varosvedo.hu/forums/forum/kozter/ and I see that the forum visitors have no possibilities to attach images or other files. If I am inlogged as admin, I can attach media, but I have access to all the media in the homesite.

[Anonymous User 13302461]

Oh to change your recent reply link text, for anyone who is more of a newbie than myself, you change the word TEST in the $reply_link line – change this to whatever, I think will use an (little arrow)…
