We are using bbPress Private Groups and have tied the groups to roles (we create the roles “Members” plugin). When testing a demo account with one of these assigned roles/groups, the private forum did not show up for them. Does anyone know how to get these to show up? We need certain users to have access to forums based on products/memberships they with us.

bboress has widgets for latest topics and latest replies

My style pack plugin has latest activity widget and several shortcodes including one to display latest topics

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>widgets

for details

[angrywarrior]

Pretty much as the subject headlines says… 😉

Is there a way to display the latest topics/threads on the frontpage?
In some kind of widget or something?

The website is https://planetary-alliance.com

The idea is to have a little section on frontpage displaying the above mentioned.

Any suggestion that would lead in the right direction would be very appreciated. 🙂

[Robin W]

you are assuming that because it doesn’t work for you it doesn’t work for anyone 🙂

It works fine on my test site.

so create a new topic and subscribers to the forum get an email when a new topic is created.

If this is not happening for you, then 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

presuming that is what is set in the forums settings, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Thanks, anyway I cannot find anything applying to my case.

First of all, I must exclude the WP capability named “unfiltered_upload”, since I didn’t activate the unfilted uploading feature. In any case, I made tests and this is not affecting the problem I’m facing.

Secondly, I tried editing the bbPress role capabilities (the problem is that the advised tool allows only the modification per user, and not for the entire role type), and I didn’t find anything that applies (there’s nothign related to uploads).
Then I tried to edit WP role capabilites with the help of a plugin, and nothing changes again.

I’m desperate – I start thinking it’s a problem of my Windows hosting.
To exclude some things, let me ask 2 questions:
1. is this a new problem or it arose also in the past?
2. I found the WP capability “upload_files” for the Subscriber role by default. This is strange, anyway, I tried enabling it but nothing changes.

thanks in advance for the help

Hello all, this is probably a strange request but what the hell, I will give it a shot…

My site is not live yet, it is at https://jimandms.com/ running the latest version of BuddyPress, bbPress and WordPress. I keep them all updated…

Anyway, I have added some posts to the forum. Just general housekeeping stuff mostly. And the complete post shows in my feed on my homepage as well as in the forum. Ideally, I would not want anything to show on the home screen when a forum post is made. I want to keep the two separate to a certain extent.

Or if this cannot be done, then a short blurb about the post with a link to the forum would be acceptable. As it is right now, it shows on the newsfeed as I said and you get a read more on the post and when you click it it shows the whole post.

Anyone have any ideas about how to accomplish this? I checked all of the settings and I didn’t see anything that would help but it is always possible that I missed something.

Thanks for reading!
Jim

Thanks for your reply. I’ve added the capability by adding in theme functions these lines:

function my_mime_types($mime_types){
    $mime_types['nvn'] = 'text/plain'; //Adding nvn extension
    return $mime_types;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'my_mime_types', 1, 1);

I made the tests:
subscriber and keymaster: Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.
admin and participant: Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons!!! THE SAME! I modified the same user that was a subscriber, I cannot figure out what’s happening here…

[Robin W]

I’m pretty sure this is WordPress not bbpress, so you are looking at WordPress admin vs subscriber rather than bbpress keymaster vs. participant.

You don’t say how you added the capability

eg

https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-additional-file-types-to-be-uploaded-in-wordpress/

anyway I’d suggest you do some tests eg set up a user with

admin and participant
subscriber and keymaster

and see which is preventing upload

I have 2.5.14 but with the latest version, I have the same issue. WP version is 4.9.5, I have installed many other plugins as well.

Thanks

WP 5.2.5

bbPress 2.6.3

Forum roles are added by site admin for access to private forums. Users with participant role get the 404 “Oh, bother” message when they try to log into page containing short code : [bbpress forum-index]. I have tested with all other roles and they access the forums as expected. This issue has been identified with new participants being added to the forums. I am not sure if all prior participants are experiencing the same issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, the CSS provided does not work in the latest version? Is there an update code?

Thanks

In all topics on my forum there is incorrect information: “This topic is empty.”

Test2

This problem is not only on my site:

bbPress Forum Anonymous Topic

How to fix it ?

[Tony]

Hello,

After some troubleshooting it appears the latest version of bbPress interfered with showing the subscribe button for individual topics. I confirmed it was there prior to the upgrade.

Please advise how to resolve the issue.

Thank you!

Import gets stuck in a loop at stage 8. I posted this here before the weekend, but my post seems to have disappeared.

Since, I have upgraded the XenForo forum to the latest version. Now it says there are no users to import at step 3 (there are many) and the import is still getting stuck in an infinite loop at stage 8.

[mvaneijgen]

@johnjamesjacoby that sounds amazing! I’ve did some digging already, but I couldn’t find an easy fix to get it working again.

If you’ve some pointers to get the code from
Sven (https://wpup.co/bbpress-threaded-nested-replies-with-paging/) working with the latest version, I’ll gladly do some testing.

[Mustafa Sakib]

I think the older version was much user-friendly that the latest version 5.3.

Custom Field doesn’t work with bbpress 2.6 and above
I use custom fields for bbpress topics.
I tried to turn off all plugins and change the theme to default but always receive next javascript error in the console:

This was fixed in one the latest 2.6 releases. Check your theme if this is not fixed for you.

[John James Jacoby]

Some fixes did go into hierarchical replies in the latest versions, just not regarding pagination. I’m hoping to look more into this for bbPress 2.7.

[hardel]

@Robin, my widgets are displaying the correct time now for latest posts and replies. It was also showing correct in the master forum list. But I only tested 1/7 forums.

I did update to latest release. Maybe something got fixed/changed??

[Robin W]

ok, I can only suggest 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.

hmm…I’m not seeing this on my test site – when does this occur?

[unclemiru]

After updating 2.6.3, the following error occurs.

[snorklebum]

In your browser if you press F12 it will bring up the development console, you should be able to use the inspector and picker in this to highlight which CSS is active on certain elements on your site. You should also be able to test making modifications in here which are only temporary but will show you what css changes will look like.
