One other person got it, and I assumed that all were. The other person is my husband … and I just remembered he is set up as an admin, though he doesn’t function as one! I will set up a test user. Can you tell me how to “deactivate” the subscriptions email tab? I don’t see how to do that.

[Robin W]

oh, and do you know that all users are getting this, or are you assuming because you do? do you have a test user set up ?

[Robin W]

ok, just found a few minutes.

When you say ‘ The Meets forum says it has 113 subscribers’ – where is this shown? not a feature I use on my test site, so I’m struggling to find it 🙂

do you have an additional plugin doing this?

[Robin W]

thanks for posting. The site needs access to replicate so cannot be reproduced without.

bbpress does not have a WYSIWYG editor by default, so what code/plugin are you using to get this? I’d suspect your theme may be doing this, and therefore may be creating the problem.

You also have an error in your theme (Use of undefined constant bbp_reply_id ), which is either code you have added to what looks like a parent theme, or an error in the theme itself.

I’d suggest that you prove this by

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then if it is theme contact the theme author as it is a paid theme

Hi,

In the plugin GD bbPress Attachments I have the error “It appears this file is already present in your media library as post 38220!” when I upload file and If i rename the file, I have the same error.

After many tests, I realized that I need the change the “title” filed in the file properties in the detail tabs.

How to solve the issue?

[craigcotner]

@robin-w absolutely zero rush at all. Have some fun!!!

I am excited to see what you come up with. Right now I have 2 topics, both with 449 replies, that I would love to test out once you have something ready. Delete one the old fashion way and see how long it takes and then your new way. Right now I am guessing the current way would take 6-7min to send to the trash and another 9-11min to completely delete.

[Robin W]

making progress, but it is a lot of work to do the testing phase.

Queen’s jubilee here in the uk, so may be early next weeek before I have a tested version

Not sure if this is Divi related or BB Press related. We have a BB press search function for our Forum which has been fine until recently. However, suddenly only page 1 displays correctly in the search results (first image). The rest of the pages look like the second photo – you have to scroll down to reach the menu which has been corrupted and then the search results are after that (and are displaying correctly. All plugins, themes and WordPress are the latest versions. Hope someone can help (please) …

If you have deactivated bbpress, then the error cannot show as this is a bbpress function, where are you seeing these errors – if in a log, then are you sure the log is being cleared before each test

Further info update:

Hi, after doing further testing, I’m still getting an error. I deactivated youzify. Then, I deactivated bbpress and buddypress but still getting an error. I am not too familiar with the files and coding but I opened the files where the errors are indicatd in the above error message I posted. If anyone is familiar and sees an error, I would really appreciate the heads up. Probably a long shot but thought I’d try. Thanks!

First file:

Thanks for the help! I will do some testing today.
Thanks again!

[Robin W]

it looks like youzify from that error log (but cannot guarantee).

I’d suggest you try deactivating youzify as a test and see if the error diappears.

Hi Robin and thanks for picking up on this. To answer your questions:

1. how would you want to pick topics for deletion – by ‘older than’ presumably?

Yes. A the moment I have to go month by month and wait for WP to do its thing

2. just from one forum or across all forums?

All forums.

3. again could not be a topic or reply where it is latest activity

Not an issue as these topics and replies would be at least seven years old

4. Are we talking about permanently deleting – ie reduce database size, or just trashing – ie stopping people seeing, but retaining the ability to restore later?

Permanent deletion required as my ISP is telling me that I’m nearing my limit on the number of files (but not the capacity in terms of memory usage) and this would allow me to get rid of material that is no longer relevant.

[Robin W]

All – let me just clarify that I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen who helps out here, I am not a bbpress author !!

@craigcotner & @iqfy- trashing topics or replies calls a standard WordPress function which checks for comments and media on each post before trashing. This involves a database lookup to check whether anything in those tables needs deleting and it is this that seems to be taking the time and making you both time out. Topics and replies don’t have comments or media that is attached in that way, so these steps are not needed.

Now trashing a reply is fairly easy, replies don’t hold any data that needs referencing elsewhere that we need to worry about.

But Topics have engagements and subscriptions to be gone through.

so if I wrote some code to allow you to delete a numbered topic, this could use a quicker method to permanently delete all the replies, and then use the proper function to delete the topic.

And as long as the topic or reply it is not latest activity, then we can maybe skip the step that needs to recalculate what the lastest activity now needs to be.

That should prevent timeouts I hope.

SO 2 things here

1. any topic/reply being got rid of should not be the ‘latest activity’ in the forum – but I’m guessing if the topic is still getting replies and therefore ‘hot’ then you would not be deleting it
2. this would be deleting it a numbered topic at a time, so you would look up the topic and then in the dashboard there would be an option to enter that topic number to trash it.

Does that sound as if it would work for you?

@jimmyt53 – not sure how easily I’d be able to fix that, but I’ll think about it as I progress. so

1. how would you want to pick topics for deletion – by ‘older than’ presumably? and
2. just from one forum or across all forums?
3. again could not be a topic or reply where it is latest activity

Feedback before I start code something that doesn’t help would be great 🙂

and from all – are we talking about permanently deleting – ie reduce database size, or just trashing – ie stopping people seeing, but retaining the ability to restore later?

I thought the tabs were supposed to be there by default. I guess not. I am brand new to bbPress.

Just to Clarify, I have quite a few other plugins on the site. The bbPress plugin is just one part of the website and is a recent addition. The bbPress plugin was 100% default but it seems other plugins affect this text area in bbPress.

On the backup test website I was using as a test site, it looks like the tabs were there from the bbPress style plugin I installed which was only on the test site but not the main suite. I forgot I installed that…. but had never used it. It was only on the test site.

For the test site I just did the following to test.

I disabled the bbPress style plugin. It then only had the Visual Text tool bar and was stuck in Visual text mode (which I don’t want because I need to use HTML).

I then disabled the bbPress style plugin and also disabled all plugins except bbPress itself. Then it was in Text edit mode with no tool bars at all and no tabs at all.

I then re-enabable the bbPress style plugin so the only plugins on the site activated were bbPress and the bbPress style plugin. Then there was the text tool bar (not the visual tool bar), but no tabs.

I then re-enabled all other plugins. Now it has the tabs which switch between the Visual toolbar and the Text tool bar. So it seems one of the other plugins, unrelated to bbPress is adding the Visual Tool bar which also adds it into bbPress too. I’m not sure which one because I didn’t test one by one.

So that will work for me. I now added the bbPress style plugin to the main site and I have tabs and the text Editor I need. Other users can use the Visual if they want.

I didn’t realize a another plugin could change what happens inside of a different plugin. I guess WordPress can get convoluted with lots of moving parts. I may go back and try to figure out exactly which plugin adds the extra tool bar. But I like it to have both so it works fine as is now.

[ddbell]

I went into my user for the Keymaster, checked “Disable Visual Editor”, saved the changes, then unchecked it and saved the changes. I was trying to see if it would toggle something.

Now the Visual editor tool bar shows up but here are no tab for Visual/Text so there is no way to Editi in Text mode. I checked other Participant accounts and the tabs are missing for all users. All users are stuck in Visual Editing. I need text mode editing for myself.

In the website backup, tested from my same PC and same browsers, all user accounts for both Keymaster and Participants have the tabs for Visual/Text. So I know it is not a local computer or Browser issue. Again, I don’t want to load the backup on the main site because there have been orders and subscribers since the last backup.

It is all accounts so it isn’t an account issue.

The Visual/Text tab shows up everywhere else when writing except for in the bbPress forum.

So the issue is isolated to bbPress, for all users.

[Robin W]

just tried 2014 and it uploads as full size unless you constrain.

so when you say you use the image icon in the bbPress editor does this ask anything about size?

If not then it could be a plugin issue

deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

thanks, fully appreciate that most of this stuff is annoying as hell 🙂

The problem is that all wp websites are a combination of wordpress and its settings, your theme and its settings, any adjustments to that theme, and all the plugins and each of their settings. That’s before we look at things like php versions, apache stuff, ht-acess, hoster settings and limitations and a bunch more stuff. That makes most sites pretty unique, so site A will never replicate site B in it’s problems and issues.

I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen who was helped several years ago when I was setting bbpress up, so I try to help others – I’m not a bbpress author.

my test site is twenty ten. I’ll try twenty fourteen to see if that sheds any light.

[Robin W]

thanks, just had a look on my test site.

The first hat image I uploaded displays as

so will load at the size of the web page.

On your site it displays as

It is uploading as full size, so something, maybe your theme or a wordpress setting is limiting it’s display.

I’m not sure if those width details are being saved as part of the post saved in the database, or are added in displaying.
