Hello Robin,

I created an open and public testforum for you:

Testforum

Can I somehow send you login credentials for a test user in a private message? I have opened the forum for guests without accounts, but apparently they cannot edit their posts anyway.

Thanks for your support!
Wiebke

Hi there,

there have been two posts that kind of go into this topic, but the solutions offered there didn’t help (yet). Maybe I did something wrong, idk.

I’ll back up a little. Here are the steps and error(s):

1. Click on registration
2. Type in the username to be used
3. Type in the e-mail address
4. Hit submit
5. Loading until ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Funny thing is that even if I didn’t fill in the required fields, the registration runs into the error.

What I tried so far:
– De- and re-activating plugins
– looked in the error.log and Plesk Protocols
– Updated the permalink structure
– … maybe more

but nothing’s to be found, nothing’s changed. Latest versions of WordPress, Avada (Theme) and bbpress are installed. There also are no SSL or htaccess problems that I know of.

Hopefully there’s someone who knows a solution to this issue.

Thanks and best regards
Tim

Okay, I have been experimenting quite a bit and so far I have everything tested and working…thank you very much for the help…there is just one item I cannot figure out…changing the color of the individual post replies (headers/body/footers) the code I ended up with when I inspected was:

div#post-133.bbp-reply-header

then following that there is a much longer one that says it’s a loop item. Surely I am looking at the wrong items and there is a parent to those somewhere to change it once…any ideas?

[Chuckie]

Have you tried:

input#bbp_anonymous_author,
input#bbp_anonymous_email,
input#bbp_anonymous_website,
input#bbp_topic_title,
textarea#bbp_topic_content {
 background-color: #313131;
}

I have not tested it.

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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.

Then come back

the latest version changed some phrases and they have yet to be added into the translations.

you can use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>translations

Hello,
Here is the root page where is possible to try:

https://www.eyecadvr.com/home-community/

this page is under elementor and with shortcodes it should display 5 forum roots but instead it displays just 1. As you can see at the right side is empty but before there was “Latest Posts” and “Thread Tag Cloud”.
By clicking on that first forum root folder, it will redirect to another page that is completely without CSS and without other functions; But once inside, clicking on the sub folder it will redirect in the right page where everything becomes perfect and correct as it should be in every page.

Hope that these informations can help you in order to help us.
Thanks.

[Chuckie]

I suggest you use the latest version as a starting point. Next, actually provide a link to your forum root page.

[franpeppe]

As i said i already tried the latest 2.6.5, and i tried also the old ones like 2.6.0, 2.5.4, 2.5.1, 2.5.9… and the issues that im encountering are written above.

[Chuckie]

The latest is 2.6.5:

bbPress

[Chuckie]

So the warning raised was:

> Undefined index: latest-user

The code flagged was:

"%LATEST_USER%" => $this->stats["latest-user"]

I did a bit more research and stumbled upon:

`
if( $this->parent->option[‘last_user’] === “on” ) {
$HTMLOutput[“last_user”] = $this->section_latestuser();
}
`

At first I thought that latest-user needed to be changed to last_user, or vice-versa. But I continued the research of the code and arrived here:

`
array(
‘id’ => ‘last_user’,
‘label’ => __( ‘Latest Registered user’, ‘bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online’ ),
‘description’ => __( ‘Display the latest user to register to the site?’, ‘bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online’ ),
‘type’ => ‘checkbox’,
‘default’ => $this->defaults[‘last_user’],
‘class’ => ”
),
`

I decided to have a look at my bbPress Advanced Statistics settings and this was actually unset. I have now switched it on:

View post on imgur.com

Now the warning does not display. Also, it then occured to me that the code has this line:

$this->stats = $this->stats_extra( $activity );

That function does this:

`
private function stats_extra( $activity ) {

if( $this->parent->option[“bbpress_statistics”] == “on” ) {
// Add the bbPress Statistics
$activity[“bbpress”] = $this->get_formatted_statistics();
}

if( $this->parent->option[“last_user”] == “on” ) {
// Get the HTML latest usser
$activity[“latest-user”] = $this->get_latestuser( true );
}

if( $this->parent->option[“most_users_online”] == “on” ) {
// Get/set the most users ever online, users the active online users
$activity[“most-users”] = $this->get_mostusers( $activity[“count”][“active”] );
}

return $activity;
}
`

Therein is the problem. This function is conditionally populating the stats array based on user options. Makes sense, but, this function, makes assumptions:

`
private function allowed_tags() {
// Store all of the strings currently replace
$this->_tags = array(
“%MINS%” => $this->parent->option[‘user_inactivity_time’],
“%COUNT_ACTIVE_USERS%” => $this->stats[“count”][“active”],
“%HOURS%” => $this->parent->option[‘user_activity_time’],
“%COUNT_ALL_USERS%” => $this->stats[“count”][“inactive”] – $this->stats[“count”][“guests”],
“%COUNT_ALL_GUSERS%” => $this->stats[“count”][“guests”],
“%COUNT_ACTIVE_GUSERS%” => $this->stats[“count”][“guestsa”],
“%USER_USERS%” => _n(“user”, “users”, $this->stats[“count”][“active”], ‘bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online’),
“%GUEST_GUESTS%” => _n(“guest”, “guests”, $this->stats[“count”][“guestsa”], ‘bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online’),
“%ALL_USER_USERS%” => _n(“user”, “users”, $this->stats[“count”][“inactive”] – $this->stats[“count”][“guests”], ‘bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online’),
“%ALL_GUEST_GUESTS%” => _n(“guest”, “guests”, $this->stats[“count”][“guests”], ‘bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online’),
“%USER_RECORD%” => $this->most_users( “record” ),
“%USER_RECORD_DATE%” => $this->most_users( “date” ),
“%USER_RECORD_TIME%” => $this->most_users( “time” ),
“%LATEST_USER%” => $this->stats[“latest-user”]
);

// Apply any filters that may have been applied to the list of existing tags
if( has_filter(‘bbpas_replacement_tags’) ) {
$this->_tags = apply_filters( ‘bbpas_replacement_tags’, $this->_tags );
}
}
`

I will be upfront here – I don’t know how to adjust the code so that it will not raise a warning when the Last Registered User setting it not checked. As a result I switched it on.

I just thought i would throw my findings out here as someone might be able to provide the tweak to make it correct.

have a good day!

@delta5 How the stats block looks like is visible to logged in users on my forums, but that can be controlled via settings, here is the demo forum with the feature enabled for the visitors: https://xscape.info/quantum-default/forums/. If you want to test the plugin on our demo website (full admin test), you can request demo here: https://www.dev4press.com/request-demo/.

[Chuckie]

I noticed that when you edit a reply that the “Reply To” combo appears squashed:

View post on imgur.com

So I added CSS to widen the select control and then was confused by the values in the drop-down list being truncated. I decided to examine the HTML (without making any CSS changes) and this is what I get:

`
<select name=”bbp_reply_to” id=”bbp_reply_to” class=”bbp_dropdown”>
<option value=”” class=”level-0″>3189 – Introduction to the Text and Visual Editors</option>
<option class=”level-1″ value=”3226″ disabled=”disabled”>   3226 – Update The</option>
</select>
`
The first entry is complete (although not all visible in the actual control). But the rest are all cropped to just a few letters. If I try other forum replies they are all the same.

Here is another example:

Why is it restricting the data displayed to just a few letters? I tried to research a reason and couldn’t find one.

Hello Robin,
Thank you for your reply, i tried as you said with bbpress 2.5.4 but nothing changes, i tried also to reinstall the latest version of bbpress and update the permalinks but nothing changes too.

[Robin W]

bbpress is not particularly Xampp friendly, and without being able to see your site of ocurse it’s hard to start to problem find.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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.

Then come back

[franpeppe]

Hello,
I have updated bbPress plugin to the latest version and i noticed that my forum is not working correctly now, when i go in the main page of the forum it loads just one topic and the page is without CSS, just a blank page with the title of the topic and some infos like the date and the creator.
Then i tried to download some old versions of bbPress to install but i dont remember which version was installed before.
So i tried bbPress 2.5.4 (its the one that i think it was installed before) and with this one i cant reach any page of the forum, infact when i go in the forum section of wordpress dashboard it load just a blank page.
I tried already some versions of bbPress from 2.5.1 to 2.5.9 then 2.6.0 and the latest but nothing changes.
The only difference is that with 2.6.0 or next loads correctly the forum section in the dashboard and with 2.5.9 or prev doesnt.

What went wrong just updating and reverting the update?

[Chuckie]

I was running a Query Monitor on my site and noted the following:

Undefined index: latest-user

wp-content/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/includes/public/class.online.php:229
bbPress_Advanced_Statistics_Online->allowed_tags()

So I had a look at the core file at that line and found:

        private function allowed_tags() {
            // Store all of the strings currently replace
            $this->_tags = array(   
                        "%MINS%"                => $this->parent->option['user_inactivity_time'],
                        "%COUNT_ACTIVE_USERS%"  => $this->stats["count"]["active"],
                        "%HOURS%"               => $this->parent->option['user_activity_time'],
                        "%COUNT_ALL_USERS%"     => $this->stats["count"]["inactive"] - $this->stats["count"]["guests"],
                        "%COUNT_ALL_GUSERS%"    => $this->stats["count"]["guests"],
                        "%COUNT_ACTIVE_GUSERS%" => $this->stats["count"]["guestsa"],
                        "%USER_USERS%"          => _n("user", "users", $this->stats["count"]["active"], 'bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online'),
                        "%GUEST_GUESTS%"        => _n("guest", "guests", $this->stats["count"]["guestsa"], 'bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online'),
                        "%ALL_USER_USERS%"      => _n("user", "users", $this->stats["count"]["inactive"] - $this->stats["count"]["guests"], 'bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online'),
                        "%ALL_GUEST_GUESTS%"    => _n("guest", "guests", $this->stats["count"]["guests"], 'bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online'),
                        "%USER_RECORD%"         => $this->most_users( "record" ),
                        "%USER_RECORD_DATE%"    => $this->most_users( "date" ),
                        "%USER_RECORD_TIME%"    => $this->most_users( "time" ),
                        "%LATEST_USER%"         => $this->stats["latest-user"]
                    );

The offender is:

"%LATEST_USER%" => $this->stats["latest-user"]

So I tried to find where latest-user is also used and only found one place in all the files, here:

        private function stats_extra( $activity ) {
            
            if( $this->parent->option["bbpress_statistics"] == "on" ) {
                // Add the bbPress Statistics
                $activity["bbpress"] = $this->get_formatted_statistics();
            }
            
            if( $this->parent->option["last_user"] == "on" ) {
                // Get the HTML latest usser
                $activity["latest-user"] = $this->get_latestuser( true );
            }
            
            if( $this->parent->option["most_users_online"] == "on" ) {
                // Get/set the most users ever online, users the active online users
                $activity["most-users"] = $this->get_mostusers( $activity["count"]["active"] );
            }
            
            return $activity;
        }

This led me to:

            // Create the statistics variable
            $this->stats = $this->stats_extra( $activity );

So this warning looks like a false positive to me. Thoughts?

Hello I have the latest wordpress and bbpress version.
Some of my users told me that they cant subscribe to a forum anymore. By deactivating all my plugins and activating them again I found out it is due to BP Plugin.

Do you know anything about that?
Thanks a lot!

[Milan Petrovic]

There are a lot of forums using it (it is my most popular plugin), but seeing features in action depend on the feature used, and if they are allowed for visitors without an account. My website official support forum uses more than 60% of plugin features. The best way to test is via demo website I can set up, just send me a demo request and I will set it up: https://www.dev4press.com/request-demo/.

Is it possible to style the “Latest Forum Activity” widget so that it looks similar to “Recent Posts” widget just above it?

[kayo404]

Hi,
I’m new to bbpress and have created my first forum. It’s on a testing domain for now.

Question:
When I create a testforum it will show up as:
/forums/forum/testforum/

If I create a topic in this forum it will show up as:
/forums/topic/test-topic/

Is it possible to have the topic in the same url as the forum, like this:
/forums/forum/testforum/test-topic/

Thank you.

[randrcomputers]

9.75 seconds to load shortcut “bbp-forum-index”, 3.75 seconds to load shortcut “new-posts-last-month” really seems index takes FOREVER i even made a test index page with no widgets and no sidebar and still takes nearly 10 sec. i would be thrilled if i could shave just a few seconds of the index somehow
