both the top and bottom login links are the default login, they were there to start with

which probably suggests they are theme related.

bbpress just passes details to WordPress login, and if the theme is also using WordPress login, it may well be that on a single page you have 3 things sending info to WordPress authorisation, so any one might send an ‘after login’ redirect, and it might be different dependant on which is completed.

If you also have membership plugins active, then these might also catch a login and do a redirect.

computers are consistent (often annoying so!) so it might be either different logins, or other changes you are making to membership that are affecting.

I’d start by stripping back and working out what is doing what.

so

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins, and see what the login at the top and bottom do. Then add bbpress and see what changes.

2.5 should upgrade quite easily, so either your upgrade has failed, or you have another issue.

new versions of bbpress are unlikely to help, as tens of thousands of bbpress users are already at 2.6.6 without problem.

I can only suggest that you create a copy of your site that you can test in and then

I’m creating my own custom forum view using the register_views code. The function works but for some reason the url isn’t working. What am I missing?

       function my_custom_register_views() {
     // Latest Replies Custom View
    bbp_register_view(
        'latest-replies',
        __( 'Latest Replies', 'my_custom_register_views' ),
        apply_filters( 'bbp_register_view_latest_replies', array(
                'orderby' => 'meta_value',
                'order' => 'DESC',
                'meta_key' => '_bbp_last_active_time',
                'post_status' => array(bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id()),
                'post_type' => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
                'show_stickies' => false
        )
    ) );
}

Yes, but look below:

PREMIUM PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION The free version is enough to speed up your site but in the premium version there are extra features such as Mobile Cache, Widget Cache …

Also seen the difference by Page speed test my website – between desktop(highest mark) and mobile(middle bottom) pages.

Of course, I can to convince my client to buy this premium, but first I would like to understand: is there a more simpler plugin for mobile cache (in this case a lot of redundant unnecessary features). What else can to see?

[Robin W]

the plugin says it does

WP Fastest Cache

Features :

…

8. Enable/Disable cache option for mobile devices

Thank you for your time.

It seems that making copy-paste from Libre Office to Bbpress editor brings the format data with the text.

I tested and the result in the editor is:

<b>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt</b>

I wonder, why the editor can not handle the format data in the paste text.

But if you do the text formatting in the editor with the text you are typing, then there is no problem.

[tierarepro]

It only happens to my account as keymaster. I tested with another as participant and it logs in just fine.

[Robin W]

suspect this is what you need – untested !!

$user_id = bbp_get_displayed_user_id() ;
$last_login = get_user_meta($user_id, 'last_login', true);

so if you go down the route you have, you’d add a second shortcode

function rew_lastlogin () {
	$user_id = bbp_get_displayed_user_id() ;
	$last_login = get_user_meta($user_id, 'last_login', true);
    $the_login_date = date_i18n(get_option('date_format'), $last_login);
   return $the_login_date; 
}

add_shortcode('bbp_lastlogin','rew_lastlogin');

and then use

<?php echo ‘Last seen: ‘. do_shortcode(‘[bbp_lastlogin]’) .’ ago’; ?>

[pflanzenoma]

No, that didn’t work either. I’m configuring here on my Computer and we tested it with my husband’s phone, that had no contact to the site before.

I can also test it by moving the “Align Default Max Width” adjuster in the General Options Menu of the Theme’s customizer.

[Robin W]

the latest activity widget in

bbp style pack

lets you do this

[xprojectsx]

Thanks Robin. I did try it with no luck. I’ve completely reset my wp install and starting from scratch with bbpress as the first plugin. I will try data import again with a small test sample and try your plugin again.

[Robin W]

I see what you mean now – and can replicate on my test site. I can’t say if this is as a result of 5.6 as my site os now at that, and I don’t have a test site at 5.5.x, but when I next generate one, I’ll look at it.

I’ve removed you site, can you remove me from your site please

The question is about the redirect folder, not for plugin. Moreover, This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases and the Author out of reach at support.

Is it possible to redirect any folder with pictures to standard admin library?

[fresaom]

i dont know whats wrong, no error or anything, just lett it run for days or can someone explain what happening?

got everything new installd whit the latest of everything on a ubuntu server 20.04

We have been trying to build a mobile app. It requires an API to handle the following:

1. Create a new topic,
2. Reply to a topic,
3. Subscribe to the forum
4. Subscribe to a topic
5. Display the name of the user who created the topic
6. Display the name of the user who replied to the topic
7. Delete a topic he created
8. Delete the reply he created
9. Edit the topic he created
10.Edit the replies he made

We have been testing this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-api/

Not only was it old, it does not handle any function related to “write” functions. For example, we can pull out the bbPress info (Read), but we could not use this API to create topics or submit a reply.

With this limitation, it is hard to imagine people will stick with bbPress as mobile becomes more crucial.

Yes, we could create custom solutions using WP REST API, but this is not ideal for bbPress. And more important, we could not find the latest documentation.

Please address this gap or if there is already a recommended solution, help as many people know about it as possible.

If that didn’t work for you then go to Divi > Theme Options > Builder > Advanced > Enable Classic Editor > Save Changes, this will resolve your issue positively. Enable the latest Divi builder experience as well to enjoy the new Divi builder on the backend.

just tried a shortcode in the footer of my test site running twentyten, and it works on both bbpress and non bbpress pages using the text widget

[LBandy]

Alright so your question led me to test out different configurations and I managed to get the issue sorted.

Basically, I had the forum root set to “forums”, while also had my main forum page set under the “forums” permalink. This blocked redirection to all forums/page/number, so resetting my main page to the “forum” permalink now allowed redirection to work correctly.

Sorry for raising the issue in the first place, and I really appreciate your comments since they led me to realize what the issue was. Thank you again!

[berry metal]

Oh and I forgot to mention that I did test it by deactivating plugins and changing theme. The issue persists, when the shortcode is used.
Is AJAX enabled for the buttons if the Subscribe and Favorite buttons are used within the Replies shortcode?

[Robin W]

try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – that resets the permalinks

@winkelj first version of this that should work with gutenberg is here if you want to test :

so
1. Deactivate the existing bbpress topics for posts plugin (no need to delete it, just deactivate)
2. Go to this site http://www.rewweb.co.uk/download/bbpress-topics-for-posts-v2/ and download the new version
3. Go to dashboard>plugins>add new>upload plugin and upload the zipped file you downloaded in step 2
4. Activate and test.

[Robin W]

sorry, there are 300,000 users of bbpress and you have found a couple of instances where users found an issue.

In one advice was to troubleshoot the problem, and the user never came back, in the other one user found that it was a wp mail plugin.

I appreciate that you ae frustrated, but ‘this same exact issue 5 and a half years ago? Is this issue still not fixed?’ is not going to endear you to the free support offered for this free product.

As a first instance, please do the troubleshooting :
