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!!!!

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?

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 🙂

[webcreations907]

Maybe you don’t have those selectors / class names on your theme? Not sure what theme you’re using, but when I test on this forum, in Chrome & Safari adding the above fixes the overflow issue, Firefox didn’t seem to have a issue.

Try the below, you might have to refresh your browser so it loads the changes.

.bbp-reply-content a, 
.bbp-topic-content a{
	word-wrap: break-word;
	word-break: break-word;
}

[tinkerbill]

Yes, I’ve had this recently. One of our users posted a series of test replies to a topic. Some of them appeared as normal, but about half just vanished into thin air, with no feedback at all.

Obviously keen to get to the bottom of this 😐

@sirlouen – thanks, I’ve incorporated all those changes in 4.4.2

Let me know if I missed anything

and thanks so much for helping me improve my plugin – as a one man developer/tester it’s hard to spot where code can be improved !

Hi 007elt, After much searching and some testing I found a solution that converts the HTML version of the text editor into a basic TinyMCE editor. However, you must have FTP or cPanel access to the backend files in order to add code to your theme/child theme’s functions.php file. Otherwise a plugin is the only other resort, and I prefer not to load up on plugins.

If you have access, add these two code snippets. The first one will convert the text editor to a basic TinyMCE, and the second will strip out html code from content pasted into the text editor that was copied from another web page.

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘tinymce’] = true;
$args[‘quicktags’] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args’, ‘bbp_enable_visual_editor’ );

function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
$plugins[] = ‘paste’;
return $plugins;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins’, ‘bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text’ );

And, if you want to get rid of the word “Private” that displays in the title of a forum that is set to private, put this code in your child theme’s functions.php file also:

function remove_private_prefix_from_title( $title ) {
return ‘%s’;
}
add_filter( ‘private_title_format’, ‘remove_private_prefix_from_title’ );

[robertstaddon]

This typo still exists, which continues to publicly display Private or Scheduled sticky posts in the latest version of bbPress 2.6.4.

It can be easily fixed by correcting line 404 of the “bbpress/includes/topics/template.php” file to set $sticky_query[‘perm’] instead of $sticky_query[‘post_status’].

This is the correct code that works:

// Allowed statuses, or lean on the 'perm' argument (probably 'readable')
$sticky_query['perm'] = bbp_get_view_all( 'edit_others_topics' )			? 
  $r['post_status']
  : $r['perm'];

[robertstaddon]

I have the exact same problem as @artmuns on a brand new WordPress install. I’m running just the latest version of bbPress 2.6.4 with the latest version of WordPress and no other plugins on the default WordPress theme. On the Edit Topic screen, I can go to “Topic Attributes” and change the “Type” to “Sticky” or “Super Sticky”. However, once a topic type has been changed to “Sticky” or “Super Sticky”, if I try changing it back to “Normal” and then click “Update”, it will not change. I have to either go to the frontend or to the listing of All Topics and click “Unstick” to change the Topic type to something besides “Sticky”. This is definitely a bug with bbPress!

[johntug]

Hi Good afternoon ….

I can see that this was a question before …. I have the same issue. I am a newbie to WP and bbPress.

This is clean WP install using Pagebuilder by SiteOrigin and Advantage theme running bbPress. No modifications. with bbPress style pack, Akismet Anti-Spam and using Easy WP SMTP for emails.

As administrator I get email notifications for new subscribers and for change of password requests so the email function is working.

I have set up a test user and some posts making sure the “notify me of follow-up replies by email” is checked then as the administrator have replied to the post. My test user is not getting any notifications.

Is there something I am missing that needs setting up or altering to send the reply notifications?

Thanks in advance for your help.
