hmmm..

ok, let me try and unpick this to help you.

buddyboss is a private development that includes bbpress and buddypress in it, buddyboss has its own theme, and is designed to work with that. it is really designed as a paid solution with its own theme. https://www.buddyboss.com/

Buddyboss is not a replacement for buddypress and/or bbpress – these free plugins are just used by it.

As the twenty twenty support says in their first post ‘I used the steps above to try and reproduce the issue you described, but I was unable to. When testing, I see the list of forums available as expected.’

bbpress works fine with twentytwenty, as indeed does bbpress and buddypress work with twentytwenty.

I suspect this issue is with using Buddyboss with the twentytwenty theme, and buddyboss may well consider that to be an issue with twentytwenty and not their problem, just as Ford might consider you using a Chevolet gearbox on a Ford and not working to be a Chevrolet issue. Since buddyboss is a paid solution, I cannot test to find out what is wrong.

I suspect the issue is with the default template that something is trying to use, and might be quite simple to fix, but as I don’t have access to Buddyboss without buying it, I can’t say.

untested, but try

add_filter( 'bbp_get_view_query_args', 'rew_limit') ;

function rew_limit ($args) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = -1 ;
$args['posts_per_page'= 10 ;
return $args ;
}

not sure which 10 it will show!!

Hello ,

i dont know if this is a feature inside bbpress i can set anywhere. Thats why iam creating this topic.

My problem is that inside the bbpress forum it does show all authors. Even the authors which does not have a valid posting inside the Last Post column. Because of that the forum does also show the name of the authors of posts which are moved to pending or spam queue. Is there any setting to hide such authors from the lastest post column?

Regards
Maxx

Thanks for your work ‘Back to Front’.

Did you also test for the right links to the right page (so when having multiple pages of replies, after adding a new reply one should end up at the first page not the last?

[Robin W]

ok, yes that should give you the forum button on the dashboard.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

not sure, but try this (untested)

add_filter ('bbp_get_user_edit_profile_url' , 'rew_remove_edit' ) ;

function rew_remove_edit () {
return ;
}

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

Thanks for your answers!

I do not have a lot of experience. I see the following notice for BBpress messages: This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Do you know if its safe to use?

[franklinss]

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!

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);
       }
    }
}

[Robin W]

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

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.

[Robin W]

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