Hi Robin,

That’s correct – we’re having issues within our normal process where staging is the first stop for any new content creation as well as testing of plugins or new development. Have you encountered this in the past, and do you perhaps have a fix?

[Robin W]

ok that phrase is not in bbpress, so something else is sending it.

‘blocklist’ looks like it should actually read ‘blacklist’

I can only suggest the standard fault finding to try and identify whether a plugin or theme is causing it

it could be a theme or plugin issue

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 come back

An error message with the wording ‘Spam email blocklist’ appears after someone posts a remark to a forum topic. The remark is added when the page is refreshed.

Screenshot:https://prnt.sc/26d7eye

I’ve done tests:
– Successfully add comments to a standard post
– Allows standard Twenty to be used. theme: the issue is still present
Wp & BBpress versions:
– Akismet isn’t working right now.
– There is no active spam filter.

Versions
Wp Versions: 5.8.2
BBPress: 2.6.9

Because it is a private website, I am unable to provide a URL. You’ll need to create an account. If you need access, I can share it with you.

[Robin W]

ok, maybe look at

dashboard>settings>forums and look at editing time.

If that doesn’t fix, then standard fault finding applies viz :

Is there a plugin, etc. to allow my BuddyPress/BBPress forums to be displayed in a grid-format “catalog” with an image, like this:

Forum Display

I would like to let the user choose to display the forums by category, alphabetically, or by latest activity (at a minimum).

Currently using:
BuddyPress Version 9.2.0 (not sure I like it–not trying to create a Facebook clone)
bbPress Version 2.6.9
Sydney theme (can’t find version–not sure I like it, either–not really running a blog, per se)

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue – I know you have already switched themes but try a default one 🙂

When I click on the forum link it links me to the homepage and not the forum.
When I change the theme I still have the same issue
Any suggestions?

Here is the link

I have latest versions of WP 5.8.3 and BBPress 2.6.9

[realadulting101]

Hi there, I am currently using BBPress on my website. My site is an LMS site that uses Memberpress for our membership and for our courses. Currently in my member dashboard area, there is an “edit forum profile” tab and when you click it, it pulls a lot of other strange info other than just the members profile like it pulls our blog titles for some reason. Also, if I am logged in as a different member and click on another user who posted on the forum and it takes me to their profile, their email loads incorrectly (so if my email is test123@gmail.com it shows at the top of their profile as @test123-gmail.com.). Has anyone every experienced this and know what to do? Lastly can users edit their profile picture or is this not possible with just bbpress?
Thank you so much for your help!

[Chuckie]

See:

View post on imgur.com

Now, the forum in question has 15 topics + 2 stickty topics. Total 17.

That actual page is displaying all 17. Yet it thinks it is displaying 15 and thus has a pagination to page 2. And ofcourse page 2 has nothing to display.

Bug?

USing latest bbPress and all associated plugins

[n3wjack]

Did this get fixed in the latest release (2.6.9)?

I reverted to the 2.6.6 to fix that issue in the 2.6.7.

[grilledmedia]

Thanks for your reply Robin. I will do another test with all other plugins disabled and a standard theme (the last thing I’ve already tested). I have also contact the hoster, since it doesn’t look like a WordPress message at all.

I’ll post me findings.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

‘spam email blocklist’ is not a bbpress phrase, can you test with just wordpress and bbpress active, and a default theme.

[grilledmedia]

Somehow after someone adds a comment on a forum topic an error message is shown with the text ‘Spam email blocklist’. When refreshing the page, the comment is added.

Screenshot:https://prnt.sc/26d7eye

I’ve done tests:
– add comments to a regular post: success
– Enables standard Twenty.. theme: problem still exist

Wp & BBpress versions:
– Akismet is not active
– No spam filter is active

Versions
Wp Versions: 5.8.2
BBPress: 2.6.9

I can’t share a URL because it’s a non public website. You need a login. Which I can share of you need te have access.

[Robin W]

Back end: under Forums it shows the ‘Last Post’ as 3 hours, 30 minutes ago when I just added a test post. However, under ‘Replies’ it shows the correct time in the ‘Created’ column.

Can you test this with a page or post – bbpress is just a custom post type and uses wordpress code for the backend

[kojak711]

I have the exact same issue as this.

My time zone is GMT-3:30.

Front end: The topic list shows ‘Last Post’ as 3 hours and 30 minutes ago but when you click the topic the latest reply time (the most recent reply) is correct.

Back end: under Forums it shows the ‘Last Post’ as 3 hours, 30 minutes ago when I just added a test post. However, under ‘Replies’ it shows the correct time in the ‘Created’ column.

Is there a fix available for this? I’ve tried everything I’ve found in these forums and nothing has worked.

Hi:

Thanks for creating the importer [and forum].

Just done an import from Drupal 7 forum, to bbpress 2.6.9 on WordPress 5.8.3.

It seems to have worked well.

Just odd that in listings like forums, forum topics, get 0 posts and 0 topics listed; even tho can click through and see the posts and replies.

I’ve tried running the Repair Forums tools [all of them, just in case! – didn’t get any reports from them, in case there should be]. But not helped.

Also added a test post; and sure enough this was counted.
– so I can carry on with the forum, just an oddity to have the Drupal posts/topics not counted.

Currently wpress.drmartinwilliams.com/forums
Soon to http://www.drmartinwilliams.com

Thank you for the suggestion.

We tested the plugin but it still does not redirect to the login page. We are using the Theme My Login plugin for the login page.

[Robin W]

can you just let me know what shortcode you are using, then I can try it out on my test site.

[gr19rute]

The problem is known for years. I’ve tried this solution:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2785
But it doesn’t work anymore.
Does anybody knows an actual tested fix?

[Robin W]

ok, lets try agian and see if we can get there.

Your site has

https://imhodom.ru/forums/users/ox/replies/

so we need to check for ‘/users/’ and ‘/replies/’

and we’ll try and up the priority so that other code does not overwrite

add_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'neon_check_replies', 100);

function neon_check_replies(){
	//only execute if the url contains both /user/ and /replies/, so test for this first
	if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/users/') !== FALSE  && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/replies/') !== FALSE) wp_redirect( 'https://imhodom.ru/forums' );
}

[Robin W]

ok, so if the replies link goes to

https://mysite.com/forums/user/admin/replies/

then this

add_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'neon_check_replies');

function neon_check_replies(){
	//only execute if the url contains both /user/ and /replies/, so test for this first
	if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/user/') !== FALSE  && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/replies/') !== FALSE) wp_redirect( 'https://mysite/home' );
}

will send anyone clicking the link to the site home page

what does it do for you?

[Robin W]

ok try this

add_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'neon_check_replies');

function neon_check_replies(){
	//only execute if the url contains both /users/ and /replies/, so test for this first
	if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/users/') !== FALSE  && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/replies/') !== FALSE) wp_redirect( 'https://example.com/some/page' );
}

[neon67]

Thanks for your help, take the time – I really appreciate it! But … again nothing happens.

Have a clean new bbpress, latest version of WordPress, own Ngnix, cleared the cache, checked for syntax errors.
Little confused https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23614011/if-strpos-serverrequest-uri-true-doesnt-work/23614083 and whether the equation is correct. I can’t figure it out myself.

[Robin W]

This function will take all attempts to go to the replies page to whatever url you want

add_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'neon_check_replies');

function neon_check_replies(){
	//only execute if the url contains both /users/ and /replies/, so test for this first
	if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/users/') == FALSE  && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/replies/') == FALSE) return ;
	else wp_redirect( 'https://example.com/some/page' );
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Thank you for your answer.

I have installed the plugin. Cleared all caches and tested it with existing forum and new forum – unfortunately the problem persists with the version. If I downgrade it, it works again – only then WordPress complains that there is a security risk etc… because the plugins are not up to date.

best, neratashy
