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?

it could be a theme or plugin issue

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

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.

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?

[vincenzon617]

Hi I have been testing my site and noticed that when a user is subscribed to a topic and then they go to reply to that topic again they are automatically unsubcribed after they submit their reply. Anyone got any ideas why this is happening?

[Robin W]

untested, but this should work

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_subscribe_link_parse_args' , 'change_subscribe') ;

function change_subscribe ($args) {
	$args['subscribe'] = 'Watch' ;
	$args['unsubscribe'] = 'Unwatch' ;
return $args ;
}

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

on the test site the button is visible while on the main site it is not.
I noticed however that as you select any box, the button is no longer clickable.
Tomorrow I will email you your access data.
thank you very much for your availability

The website is live, but the forum is not yet being used.

I tested it with Twenty-Twenty and Twenty-Nineteen get the same results. I am using the Kadence theme and have used it in the past with BBPress.

If you go to one of the forums it shows up. But if you try and view all of them they don’t show up.

I’d suspect that your theme has had an update then.

As this is a paid theme, I’d suggest you raise it with the theme authors first.

@supermagicien – thanks so much for posting back, it is always good to get feedback and updates !

Really glad you are now working on the latest bbpress 🙂

[supermagicien]

Good evening Robin,

I come to give some (good) news.

I recently cleaned up and removed a plugin that was out of date, so I was able to upgrade to the latest version of BBPRESS without any problems this time.

One problem that was persisting was posts and new topics disappearing, then thanks to you I understood that they were awaiting moderation, but I was not satisfied, I did not want to do moderation and let people post, I followed the advice of this topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/random-replies-being-marked-pending/

and now everything seems to work. 👍

[Robin W]

if you’ve cloned the forum widget, you can set a class – the test is

if ( bbp_is_forum_closed(forum_id)) ...

and

if ( bbp_is_topic_closed (topic_id)) ...

[Robin W]

interesting..it looks ok on my test site, but I can see it doesn’t on yours.

I should state that I am just a bbpress user who helps out here, not the plugin author.

2 choices

1. amend the actual widget file – yes that is said by many to be bad practice, but bbpress does not do frequent releases, and if it is your site and you know what you changed, is probably the quickest and easiest answer

2. clone the widget to your theme’s child functions file. so take the whole function that starts

class BBP_Forums_Widget extends WP_Widget {

Now you’ll need to rename it, so change BBP_Forums_Widget wherever quoted to something unique, and change names/title in these lines

public function __construct() {
		$widget_ops = apply_filters( 'bbp_forums_widget_options', array(
			'classname'                   => 'widget_display_forums',
			'description'                 => esc_html__( 'A list of forums with an option to set the parent.', 'bbpress' ),
			'customize_selective_refresh' => true
		) );

		parent::__construct( false, esc_html__( '(bbPress) Forums List', 'bbpress' ), $widget_ops );
	}

	/**
	 * Register the widget
	 *
	 * @since 2.0.0 bbPress (r3389)
	 */
	public static function register_widget() {
		register_widget( 'BBP_Forums_Widget' );
	}

you can then amend the offending line.
