Thank you. I actually found it and installed and activated it. As I understand it, once activated it should add about six more pages to my site. Login, Registration, Password etc. None of those loaded. It did say, when I added plug in that the newest version has not been tested.

Thanks

[Robin W]

It isn;t on my site, so a css thing with your theme.

but glad it works, and thanks for testing !!

[Chuckie]

OK. The merging test I did worked fine. Thanks.

Question:

View post on imgur.com

Why is my “Merge topic tags” check box in the middle?! Why not on the left?

[Chuckie]

Oh, OK. So to test this out I simply have to try and merge two topics. Is that the idea? Or merge two replies? i did not follow this whole discussion.

[Chuckie]

Just upgraded to your latest version 4.5.1

Change log says:

additional bug fix for merge topics on variable mismatch on bug fixes tab

But I still only see 3 possible bug fixes listed? Please advise.

[Robin W]

@randrcomputers sinvce my code only runs on new topics – would be worth running a test with it enabled and disabled, and see if it makes a difference – if it does then come back.

[finallyfoundausernamenotusedbefore]

I am known to make mistakes! Maybe I did something wrong.

The bad news is that my super-dooper moderator (who I admit I did ask to test things to death before we open the site to the masses) has now discovered he gets that same error messages when trying to merge topics.

The fix in BBstylepack is still activated so it seems that isn’t a fix for everything.

I’m not sure if I should be asking for more help from you as the impression I get is that another plugin is causing a conflict. And looking at your snippet code it looks to me as if that is for splitting topics only. But I thought I should make you aware.

Meanwhile I will start disabling plugins and see what gives.

Best regards,

Hi,
I’d love to display the latest forum topic to my logged in user using a ‘hello bar’ / horizontal bar at the top of my site (I’d build it in Elementor).

I’ve tried with the [bbp-display-topic-index show=’5′] shortcode but it displays it vertically.
I’m not well versed in php but I can copy and adapt.
Would anyone be able to advise how I can do this?
Thanks!

Hi guys,

Quite simply the “favorites” button does not show beside the subscribe button on any topic or forum on my site.

I have deactivated – reactivated bbPress. Tried the Twenty Seventeen Theme. Nothing has worked.

I have the latest WordPress version 5.4
I have bbPress version 2.6.4

My site is https://fashioncollaborate.com but you wont be able to see anything unless you are a subscribed member. I can provide admin credentials privately?

[ticsandthoughts]

Hello,

I am using the latest version of wordpress (5.4) and the most recent version of bbPress (2.6.4)

Website: ticsandthoughts.com

I am using the Responsive theme.

I am extremely new to all of this, so apologies if this is a dumb question. I recently set up a forum through bbPress and am wanting to remove the top text on the page “Archive: Forums”, as well as the text description “bbPress forums”.

Here’s a link to how it looks right now: https://ticsandthoughts.com/forums/

Thanks so much in advance!

Alex

so are you saying my code does nothing for anonymous users ? It seems to work for logged in users.

am doing further testing later, but your feedback would be useful

[Robin W]

@clivesmith

thanks, and yes I spotted the { this morning !

I did no testing before posting it – I’m planning on looking later, so I’ll see what it does on my site

[Robin W]

authors are working on stuff – they chat on slack most days – they were discussing topic counts yesterday. But they have day jobs, and writing and testing fixes when your plugin is affecting 300,000 users takes a lot of time and careful thought.

I do this totally voluntarily, so strain is entirely self inflicted 🙂 But thanks that you are thinking of me, cheers me up !

It would be good to get some feedback on the code, but I’m chugging on looking at it as a side project whilst I wait clients coming back on paid projects.

[Chuckie]

@robin-w Thanks. I don’t have time to test myself right now.

I wonder why the authors are not responding again to again of these issues? After all they are the developers and it seems like one big huge leap with this version and then it appears nothing? I thought there were several authors of bbpress? It seems unfair that 99% of the user support is coming from you. What a strain on you!

Thanks though!

[Robin W]

just had a thought

create a WordPress page with a permalink of ‘/moderation’ and in that put some text say

‘your post is being held pending moderation’

tehn put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

//add message if reply held in moderation
add_filter ('bbp_new_reply_redirect_to' , 'rew_pending_check', 10 , 3) ;

function rew_pending_check  ($reply_url, $redirect_to, $reply_id)
	$status = get_post_status ($reply_id) ;
	if ($status == 'pending' ) {
		$reply_url = '/moderation/' ;
	}
return $reply_url ;
}

not perfect by any means, but better than the nothing they now get

If you could test for me, I’ll see if I can improve how it works

[sitm01]

OMG I think you’re a genius! I think that’s fixed it!!! I’ll do some more testing, but thank you!!!!

[shonty]

Hi guys,

I’m also trying to remove @ mentions from Forums and Activity in Groups.

I have successfully removed the @Username from beneath the profile names of buddypress users.

I have both of the following in PHP Functions.

add_filter( ‘bp_activity_do_mentions’, ‘__return_false’ );

and

remove_filter( ‘bbp_make_clickable’, ‘bbp_make_mentions_clickable’, 8 );

Now what happens is, when I type “@” followed by a letter for example “J” for “Jack” it still brings up “Jack” user names but it doesnt actually tag them or turn into a link after selecting one. How do I turn off @mentions entirely so it doesnt bring up user names?

I hope that makes sense.

I am using the latest WordPress 5.4 and the latest Buddypress 5.1.2 and bbPress 2.6.4

Any help would be amazballs:)

We have only just set up our WordPress page so have the latest business version and latest bbpress version. We are using a Hero theme.

We have added a ‘block’ to our home forum page. The title is showing “welcome to our local community forum” but the text that we have written underneath isn’t showing up. We have tried adding this text as another block but that doesn’t show up either. How can we get this to show on our home page?

Also, we would like to edit the text type of the title ‘welcome to our local community forum’ and reduce the size. We can’t seem to find where to do this.

We had the following reply from the help at WordPress: I checked the page for your homepage here: https://wordpress.com/page/connectbuzz.net/197 If you will look at “Page Attributes” on the right side, then “Template” you see you assigned this page for the bbPress Forum Index. It makes the page inevitable. The page has to be blank, because bbPress will override anything that’s in there.

How can we get the text to show up?

[gustavocave2]

Hello,

I created 2 foruns, called
“forum” and “forum2”.

I created 2 users, called
“test” and “test2”.

I added the user “test” as Moderator to the “forum”
and “test2” from the Moderator for “forum2”.

The problem is that the 2 users are being able to create topics in the 2 forums, being certain that only the Moderators would be able to create in their forums, how can I solve?

[Chuckie]

Hi

I have some queries and I wonder if you can help me get to the bottom of them. I would be grateful for your guidance. Here is the background.

I am using the latest bbPress plugin and I notice that the bbpress.css file is 1702 lines long.

I am using a premium theme (seos-video-premium) and even though I am using a child theme, I have noticed that my Support forum is actually using:

wp-content/themes/seos-video-premium/seos-video-premium/css/bbpress.css

I assume this is because there is no bbpress.css in my child theme css folder so it uses the themes one instead of the bbPress plugin’s one?

So I have two specific questions here.

1/ the bbpress.css file in the premium theme folder is actually 1408 lines of code. So it is 300+ lines shorter than the plugin version. To be honest, I was not expecting to find a bbpress.css file inside the theme. So what am I supposed to do? Simply replace the theme version with your plugin version?

2/ I have been trying to use a beta version of EnlighterJS Plugin (it is their beta that uses EnlighterJS v3. There was an issue with these styles:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content pre,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content pre {
	display: block;
	line-height: 18px;
	margin: 0 0 24px;
	padding: 5px 10px;
	white-space: pre;
	overflow: auto;
}

In their classes they have this styling:

.enlighter-default .enlighter-raw {
    display: none;
    min-width: 100%;
    line-height: inherit;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-family: inherit;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    white-space: pre-wrap;
    word-wrap: break-word;
    border: none;
    box-shadow: none;
}

The HTML is:

<pre class="enlighter-raw">.textMaterial {
  /* Uncomment to hide the material */
  /* display:none;*/
  font-size: 10pt;
  font-style: italic;
  font-weight: 700;
  background-color: yellow;
}
.textMethod {
  /* Uncomment to hide the method */
  /* display:none;*/
  font-size: 10pt;
  font-style: italic;
  font-weight: 700;
  background-color: cyan;
}</pre>

Notice that ttheir CSS style uses display: none;? The bbpress CSS file pre class has a display:block;. This causes a problem with the plugin I am trying to use.

The author does not want to use !important because he says it is bad design. So how do we fix this? How can we allow bbpress to do what it wants with pre and EnlighterJS do what it wants?

[Robin W]

yes, participants should be able to create topics and replies viz :

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

I strongly suspect the issue is with active directory, you already have said that it rolls back settings, which makes me suspect that the entire WordPress database is being rolled back – if you create say a test post on the website, does it stay overnight, or does it disappear – this would help determine where to go next.

[Robin W]

hmm..not come across this before, from googling seems to be a wrodpress.com thing – doesn’t mean that I’m right – there’s tons on the internet that I don’t know, but just tried <!-- nextpage-> on posts in a couple of test sites, and it does nothing.

Can only suggest you find out what is adding it, but you may need to accept that it doesn’t work in bbpress

[Chuckie]

Hi @robin-w

RThanks for your latest bbp updates. I have activated your new bug fix check box and removed my code from functions.php and I can still split topics. Woo hoo!

[Robin W]

Took a while to work out where the chnages were needed 🙂

I’ve raised a ticket – and I’ll add it to style pack bugs shortly – thanks for testing that it worked for you also !!

[Robin W]

when you last reported it, I said
‘ok, I can only suggest that you revert to the standard tests
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@

you did not respond to that, so can’t really help further if you don’t do the tests 🙂
