Hi,

Is there a possibility to let forum members send eachother private messages? If so, is there a plugin (compitaible with latestversion of wordpress and total theme) that works good with bbpress or do you know any other possibilities?

Thanks in advance!

usual fault finding applies

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

you add action is right, and I’d have this as the function (not tested!)

function forum_user_is_spectator(){
if ( is_bbpress() && is_user_logged_in() ) {
   $User_ID = get_current_user_id() ;
	$Spectator = (!empty(current_user_can( 'spectate' )) ? 1  : 0) ;
    if ($Spectator){
       wp_enqueue_script( 'spectator-js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/spectator.js', array(), false, true);
       }
    }
}

It’s kinda weird that when I edit this php file you mention “content-single-topic.php”, it didn’t show those changes on the forum pages.

ok, question, does your theme have bbpress files associated with it? or is a plugin affecting this

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Something you just said made me think of the issue and fix. I am using the BBP Style Pack and didn’t turn that off when I was testing plugins. I thought I needed it but turns out I didn’t. Once I looked at more of the settings in that plugin I realized that the freshness dates were set to custom and blank.

Hi,

We are having the following issues after we have updated the bbPress plugin version to 2.6.6.

1.) Topic favorites and subscription button are missing.

We’ve actually checked the template file where those buttons were being displayed and the functions that shows those buttons were not here anymore. We’re wondering if there’s any reason why it was removed on the latest plugin version update.

2.) When user subscribe to a forum, the forum is not listed on the “Subscribe Forums” page under members page. e.g. /members/111/forums/subscriptions/

WordPress version: 5.6.1
BuddyPress version: 7.2.1(latest)

[BackuPs]

Its in a test install local host install…

Will set up a demo for you tomorrow. Please change the code as line 797 in the same file. As the list elements do not align vertically.

[Robin W]

Have you a link to an example – they line up on my test site

[flamuren]

I tried this [bbp-single-forum id=1] on a new testpage and it did not show anything – just a blanc wordpress page. Do I need to write anything else than [bbp-single-forum id=1] to make it work?

[Ricsca2]

I have set the latest posts to appear on the home page.
Is there a way to show the box to create the post even only on the home page instead of only within the category?

I’m having the same problem, and I am using twenty-twenty theme.
When I activate BBPRess, I get a message stating that it hasn’t been tested on my version of WordPress, currently up to date on version 5.7.
I’ve deleted BBPress and re-installed and activated it, and the commands still don’t appear.

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help

The quickest way will be to turn on debugging in wordpress and come back with tne exact error you are getting

@izzyeast bbpress 2.6.6 works with WordPress 5.7 -I have it running on several sites, and with 300,000 installation, it would be well know if it didn’t.

Probably not with that plugin, but probably another plugin and/or your theme

Hi, how do I access the sidebar of the topics page – where is the file that I can add my code to so it shows up on the sidebar? What I would like to do is get the current number of replies to a topic and then depending on that, execute some shortcode.

The code I have so far is:

	
	<?php $replycount = bbp_get_topic_reply_count( $r['topic_id'], true ); ?>
	
	<?php if($replycount > 0) : ?>
		<?php echo do_shortcode('[adace-ad id="4420"]'); ?>
	<?php else : ?>
		<?php if($replycount > 9) : ?>
			<?php echo do_shortcode('[adace-ad id="4420"]'); ?>
			<?php echo do_shortcode('[adace-ad id="4420"]'); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php if($replycount > 14) : ?>
			<?php echo do_shortcode('[adace-ad id="4420"]'); ?>
			<?php echo do_shortcode('[adace-ad id="4420"]'); ?>
			<?php echo do_shortcode('[adace-ad id="4420"]'); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
	<?php endif; ?>

My PHP skills aren’t great so I’m not sure if this even works but I would just like to know where abouts the place this code, so it shows up on the sidebar, and so I can test it.

Thanks!

I use Divi (4.9.2), WordPress (5.7) and Wishlist (3.9) in the latest version and all my plugins are up to date. As my members do not use bbpress I wanted to deinstall it. When I deactivated the plugin my website showed me a crticial error.
What can I do except roll back a couple of months ago?

Kind regards,
Ivana

hmm…just loaded Asgaros to my test site, and it has it’s own tables

wp_forum_forums
wp_forum_topics
wp_forum_posts

as well as several others dealing with subscriptions, polls and ads.

the issue with importing would be hooking forum_topics which holds header stuff with forum posts which holds the content, but also the replies.

What size is your current Asgaros forum – eg forums, topics replies?
