@bodybyloud I’m most of the way through getting this going – can you test when I am ready?

and do you know the actual post type names you want to add – ie what they are called in the database ?

[patrick_here]

I have freshly installed bbpress and my >Dashboard>Settings>Discussion>”Comment Moderation”> is set to “Comment must be manually approved”. However when a test user with subscriber role submits a post, it appears instantly without requiring any approval.

What is the setting or settings that cause the plugin to require approval before a subscriber’s reply to a forum is published?

[wpturk]

I don’t know it this helps and I did not test it with bbpress.

This plugin finds and deletes unused tags:

Mass Delete Unused Tags

[Robin W]

it’s showing tags with 2 & 1 on my test site.

If you sure it is an issue, then unlikely but 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.

On the fresh wordpress site without Elementor, I added Elementor and changed the page to an elementor page. In that case, Elementor didn’t strip out the tag.

On the built-up site I disabled all the plugins except Elementor and the tags still do not appear. So perhaps it is a certain setting in Elementor that is causing the problem …not sure. Obviously I can’t state with 100% certainty that Elementor is causing the problem but I’ve spent so much time with this that I cannot continue testing. I’ve decided to just go ahead with the workaround of manually inserting the tags when I create the Forum Description.

I would definitely avoid Elementor in the future on any site that I’m developing entirely on my own. I feel that for me it adds too much unnecessary complexity – opening the door to bugs that take too long to find.

ok, so I can only suggest you do some issue finding

UPDATE:
Robin, I just tested this on a fresh wordpress install (ie: without Elementor) and I see that the tag is there !!!

So this leads me to believe that Elementor must be stripping the tag.

I cannot give you a link to this install because it’s on my local workstation (with a LAMP install). The tag I’m seeing at the forum description is: bbp-forum-content

[patrick_here]

Okay, go to http://dialogtotransformation.net/forum-beyond-bw/

…and look only at the forum entitled TEST ENTRY

…the text below that forum was entered in the “new post” interface. note that there are no tags surrounding it.

Don’t look at the other forum descriptions. They were entered in the same way but I explicitly added tags myself …the tags were not added by bbpress.

[Robin W]

ah, I see what you ae getting at – not sure how this site does it, but you can create a link to a page in your site and put

[bbp-topic-index] in that page – that will show the latest 15 topics

If you want better than that, then

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcode

and check out the

[bsp-display-topic-index] which has lots of settings you can use to control what is shown

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Custom CSS

[kylewhenderson]

I just installed the Ultimate Member plugin. The frontend login shortcode that comes with that plugin works as expected, so not sure what this issue is with the bbPress Login Widget, but something is certainly not right.

I totally get that many people should be complaining if it were obviously broken, but especially after testing a clean WP core and bbPress install it seems that this isn’t likely to be an edge case.

Again, let me know if you have any specific questions that I can help with to debug.

Thanks!

[Robin W]

hmmm…. not how it works in my test site.

The bit about some wp login plugin that you have deacivated?? can you explain more about that?

[kylewhenderson]

The bbPress Login Widget, upon submitting username/password simply redirects to /wp-login.php where the user has to again submit the username/password. It simply doesn’t log the user in at all. I have tested this with a fresh WP install with the default theme and only bbPress running. See video demo here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17gdtsNw401_ZYt2PcFKtyrO5rA49HGxg/view

Let me know if you have any questions – happy to provide any info to debug.

OP: Let us know if this is this same issue you are having or if this is a different issue.

just tried it on my website, and that code works fine.

3 possibilities

1. the 90 is wrong
2. the 90 forum does not have sub forums
3. some other code is filtering the bbp_forum_get_subforums function

If you are happy it is not 1 or 2, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Thank you! The problem is I cannot predict when the issue will occur. I do not know exactly how to duplicate the problem – only notice that is seems to occur around WordPress updates.

Do you haves you other way to test?

Thanks

I have just tried it on my test site with WordPress 5.5.3 with bbPress 2.6.6, and it changed fine with no issues.

so you go into the edit, and click ‘generate password’ and then type in a paswword and click update Profile and that works.

Is this what you are trying?

[Robin W]

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address
in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit.
You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.

Next try switching to smtp email – this page from the host Siteground explains it

https://www.siteground.co.uk/tutorials/wordpress/use-smtp/

If you choose other SMTP servers as a mailer, then you email/website hoster shoud be able to give you details of what to enter

and of course

By default, you do NOT receive emails for your own topics/replies, only if somebody else replies on your subscribed topics

so testing would need two email accounts to prove !

I build bipeoplemeet with bbpress plugin for my site. After finishing, i begin to test registrationprocess, but can not receive the password link. How to solve this issue? Please help me!

[berry metal]

The reason is hard for me to debug this issue is that I am using this code to output a bbpress topic under each post that has the same name as the current post title:

add_shortcode( 'bbpresscomments', function() {
    $output     = '';
    $current_id = function_exists( 'vcex_get_the_ID' ) ? vcex_get_the_ID() : get_the_ID();
    $topics = new WP_Query( array(
        'post_type' => 'topic',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'fields' => 'ids',
    ) );
    if ( $topics->have_posts() ) {
        foreach( $topics->posts as $topic ) {
            if ( get_the_title( $topic ) == get_the_title( $current_id ) ) {
                $output .= do_shortcode( '[bbp-single-topic id="' . intval( $topic ) . '"]' );
            }
        }
    }
    return $output;
} );

This code is theme specific, so testing with an other theme doesn’t make sense in this case.
I will open now a ticket to my theme developer, but if you can see anything in this code that would make AJAX not work, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi !

Thanks for latest version.

Do I need to run any of these tools?

It is not clear to me.

[Robin W]

ok, yes bbpress just uses wordpress registration

it could be an email issue – email is notoriously difficult to get consistent – many email companies see wordpress emails as spam.

so I’d try the following which is my standard email advice:

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address
in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit.

looks like a css issue.

if this is a new installation (that is submit has never shown) then it could be a theme or plugin issue
