Seen this one come up a few times in this forum, but have yet to see a fix. Hopefully the following additional details help to diagnose the threaded replies not working very well:

– It is not a conflict with my theme (I switched to 2019 and disabled all plugins).

– The issue does not occur when I am logged in as an administrator (nested/threaded replies work fine if I’m logged in with my admin account) or when all other plugins are disabled.

– Re-enabling WooCommerce makes the issue come back (so that suggests that there is some interaction with WC that is causing this).

– When the issue is present, the reply form briefly appears where it’s supposed to (directly below the reply that I am replying to), but the page then redirects to the same page with querystring parameters appended to the URL. Example: mysite.com/topic/the-topic-title/?bbp_reply_to=7330&_wpnonce=bb385daa6e#new-post

– Also when the issue is present, I see the following js errors in the console when I hit reply:

“TypeError: event.target.matches is not a function” – touch-keyboard-navigation.js:277:22
“TypeError: d is null” – reply.min.js:3:997 (appears to have to do with scrolling, probably what’s in charge of scrolling the page down to the reply form)

I’m guessing that maybe this redirection should be disabled somewhere? I can’t interrupt it to test out whether the reply would work correctly if the page didn’t redirect me first.

Since WooCommerce is such a common plugin, I’m hoping this issue can be addressed.

I just got an email from a user who cannot edit his post. Looking at my settings, I found I had “Disallow editing after” set to 5 minutes. Underneath, it reads:
When this is checked, the setting to “0 minutes” makes it possible to always edit.

So, I entered 0 and hit Save. When I check the setting, it says 5 again. I tried several times, always with the same result (duh!). Any ideas how to fix this?

For now, I have entered a string of 999999999999, but that’s not very elegant, is it now?

I’m on the latest version of both WP and bbPress, using Twenty Sixteen as my theme.

[Stephen Ekpa]

Wow…Thanks for these code.
I tested it on my test site with newmag wordpress theme by tagdiv and it worked.
But on the main site, I’m using Jnews Child theme. I tried it, but it did not work. Perhaps it because I don’t know which function.php to use; main theme or child theme funtion. Tried with child theme, but it did not work.

@robin-w This is not working as expected and I think there is a bbpress bug. I’m currently testing in my localhost but I think I will publish on trac what I’m finding

[Manuel Camargo]

Is it possible to remove user icon from revisions?

Edit: testing

[theicebooky]

Hey,

I have created a website where my users are allow to create their own Forums… However, when I tested it out as a user, I can’t create a Forum without a “Parent Forum.”

Is there a way to allow my users to create Forum without needing a Parent Forum. (Or somehow create a “Parent Forum” by themselves)

Thank you very much!!!

[Alexander Agnarson]

Same issue here.

Discussed here too: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/after-upgrade-to-2-6-x-latest-reply-is-not-the-latest-one-index-only/#post-208975

I tried out this plugin a bit ago locally and seemed to work, my email did go into the spam/trash folder; but that could have been because I was testing locally.

Check your trash/spam folder and see if the mention replies are ending up in there.

[webcreations907]

The below should update the “Topic” page and the main “Forum” page.

Once you add the code, you’ll have to add a reply to a topic for it to update. Or run the forum repair Robin W mentioned above.

Add the below code to your functions.php file of your theme (preferably child theme), or use the code snippet plugin.

if(!function_exists('ticket3297_bbpress_update_latest_activity')){
	function ticket3297_bbpress_update_latest_activity( $reply_id, $topic_id, $forum_id ){
		
		$new_time = get_post_field( 'post_date', $reply_id );
		
		if ( ! empty( $new_time ) ) {
			update_post_meta( $forum_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', $new_time );
		}
		update_post_meta( $forum_id, '_bbp_last_active_id', $reply_id);
		update_post_meta( $forum_id, '_bbp_last_reply_id', $reply_id );

		$forum_obj = get_post( $forum_id );
		if( $forum_obj && $forum_obj->post_parent !== 0 && bbp_is_forum_category( $forum_obj->post_parent ) ){
		
			update_post_meta( $forum_obj->post_parent, '_bbp_last_active_id', $reply_id );
			update_post_meta( $forum_obj->post_parent, '_bbp_last_reply_id', $reply_id );
			if ( ! empty( $new_time ) ) {
				update_post_meta( $forum_obj->post_parent, '_bbp_last_active_time', $new_time );
			}
		}

	}
	add_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'ticket3297_bbpress_update_latest_activity',10,3 );
}

if(!function_exists('ticket3297_bbpress_delete_update_latest_activity')){
	function ticket3297_bbpress_delete_update_latest_activity(){
			$reply_id = bbp_forum_query_last_reply_id();
			
			ticket3297_bbpress_update_latest_activity( $reply_id, bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id ), bbp_get_reply_forum_id( $reply_id ) );

	}
	add_action('bbp_deleted_reply','ticket3297_bbpress_delete_update_latest_activity');
	add_action('bbp_trashed_reply','ticket3297_bbpress_delete_update_latest_activity');
}

That should run when replying, deleting, and trashing replies.

[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

[kaillarkz]

Hmm!
I’m planning on having the Bot grant forum moderation over 1 topic after receiving X amount of GamiPress points from a User.
The context: it’s an author/writer forum and people might get interested in testing their own skills by submitting texts, that’s where having moderation power over this single topic would come in play; they would control whatever happens inside their “test-post”.

[Robin W]

ok, I can only suggest that you revert to the standard tests

Themes

Buongiorno,

ho un problema con il forum: alcuni utenti che appaiono iscritti non riescono a fare login utilizzando i dati da loro impostati, pur facendo molti tentativi.

Ecco le info sul mio sito:

Mi è stata installata la versione 5.3.2 di WordPress.

Da poco mi è stata installata la versione 2.6.4 di BBpress.

Il link al forum nel mio sito è questo: https://www.nuovicontesti.com/forum/forum/

Sto usando il tema Twenty Twenty di WordPress.

Grazie,

Federica

[Chuckie]

My php is 7.3.15. Latest stable.

[Robin W]

@ajtruckle split works fine on my test sites for 2.5.x and 2.6.x, hence why I am suggesting site for database issue for your site.

[OutoftheHat]

Hi,
I seem to be experiencing this behaviour in 2.6.4. Not sure where to go from here…? I have a test site set up with only bbpress 2.6.4, theme Twenty Twenty v1.1, and an example forum exhibiting the problem, protected behind SeedProd’s Coming Soon plugin (though still get the problem if this is deactivated too). A number of other plugins from the live site are installed but deactivated. I would be delighted if an expert could take a look, and can provide login plus info on where to see the problem… First time you reply to the test reply, it bounces to the bottom; second time, it works… Odd.
Thanks for your time.
Neil

[Robin W]

probably theme specific – try changing a theme as a test. Then contact theme provider

[iamthewebb]

I’ve just been testing this on my sites and I can’t get it to fail. Are there any more details in the server error log, do you have any custom code or bbpress plugins installed?
Also does debugging show any additional info?

[mddsharp]

I am using the latest WordPress and BBPress as of 2/29/2020

I don’t know if this is intentional or a bug, but I am throwing it out there.

If you go to the WordPress dashboard, all Topics, and post a new topic with no forum, it will actually post but not show up anywhere. It won’t even show in topics.

If another user knows the URL of the topic post, he/she can reply. But, that reply won’t show up in replies in the dashboard.

If you attempt to delete it by going to the URL and clicking Trash, the browser will start processing it but after 45 seconds it says “This page is not working” but it does delete the post.

[Robin W]

ok, it is site specific.

so you will need to look at disabling plugins and changing themes to establish where the issue is – I can’t help with how you do that in a live environment.

You should look at getting a test site

[BrokenPixel]

Hi

In the process of moving our old forum from SMF (which had some great features, but requires a second login which our users really dislike) to bbpress. It’s a private forum so I can’t post a link, but using latest WP version, Hestia Pro theme, Ultimate Member (and it’s bbpress plugin), bbpress Style Pack.

bbpress Style Pack makes the new forum look a lot more user friendly (many thanks Robin!), and also using it to offer the option of email notifications of new posts (which on our forum is essential – there may be no posts for days, then several all at once!)

Is there any documentation anywhere as to how the new post email notify system works? Couldn’t find any, but perhaps not found the right place yet!

As I’m trying to get my head around how a user controls their settings.

If a user has hit “subscribe” to a whole “forum” (board as I’d have called it in older forum software) – it seems they then get notifications to all topics. But there could be many topics on that forum, and they may not want to be notified of some posts within that board. So how do they selectively unsubscribe from some in that board, but not others?

Going into the forum it seems that individual topics still have a “subscribe” button when the whole forum (board) is subscribed to, which is a little puzzling, if all topics under that forum (board) should now be subscribed to. So if they want to unsubscribe from that topic – do they have to click subscribe, then unsubscribe?

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how this bit of the plugin is meant to work? Thanks!

[cwaite]

No just test data at the moment. I will try that out on the test server first and see if this fixes the problem. If it does I will then do it on the live server.

thanks

[Robin W]

so maybe a database corruption, do you have live data in the forums, or just test stuff ?

if just test then go to

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums and delete all your forum data.

You can then start again

[cwaite]

Hi Robin

Yes I have even tried deactivating, then deleteing bbpress and then re-installing. I still, get the same issue.

This is a new site, new problem. It worked OK to start with while testing until we deleted a test post.

I’m thinking, as wer have deleted and reinstalled, something is retained in the settings/post in the DB that causes the issue.

[cwaite]

Hi
I have seen quite a few people have this issue. Everythibg in bbpress works apart from when you click replies and then the page shows a Service Unavailable error message. I have tried all the options mentioned in other posts like turning off all other plug-ins, changing the theme to Twenty Twenty and also talking to our hosting company and still cannot get it to work. The hosting company tried changing the php versions but the still gave the error message. Error 500 for php7 and error 503 for php7.2. They also checked the error logs and said there was no errors showing. It was working OK when it was a fresh installation, all we have done is add a few test topics and posts and deleted 1 reply. The it starts to give the error.

Does nyone have a solution to this that I haven’t tried?

Many Thanks
Regards
Colin
