When I go to your site, if I select the testing forum as a non logged in user, I cannot see the topic form, but I can reply to an existing topic.

I thought that was what you wanted?

Topic Title: http://forums.typeheritage.com/topic/tangier/
Page Title: http://forums.typeheritage.com/status/

I want topic titles to match page titles—green, not orange. I am semi-clueless about coding but have tried a few ideas that don’t work.

Can someone suggest a css entry to solve this problem?

Many thanks, Anna

I can’t create a new forum.

When I want to start a new forum, I get information:
“Sorry, you do not have permission to edit this entry”:
https://snipboard.io/9ThQ4W.jpg

I am logged in as an administrator with full rights, wordpress is updated to the latest version, I installed the plugin several times and the same error every time.

What is wrong? Why can’t I add anything?

Hi,

This is my testing site
sandboxtest1.server4.demoswp.com/forums/forum/testing/

Thanks

[Robin W]

ok, so running that fix gets latest activity back to normal, but only of course until the next post puts it out again – just wanted to check that was the case.

on the showroom, yes I can see that they have gone again – out of 100 how ceratin are you that they were there immediately before you ran then repair? and did you only run the repair for latest activity ?

From what I can observe,
– NEW TOPICS, will show the correct time, in the Index. (ex: in Challenges, I posted a new topic 2 days ago and it shows as 1 day 20 hours ago and it is accurate)

– REPLIES to new topics don’t seem to show all the time:
ex: in the LET’S TALK forum, inside the PSP Talk forum, Ken posted something over 2 days ago. That is what is displayed in the Index, however, I added a reply to his thread, and it is not taken into consideration (the time or even that *I* posted last)

I have tested it just now:
– I posted a new thread inside the LOBBY, not inside any other sub-forum: the date appears ok in the Index
– I replied to a post in the LOBBY (Date issue in the forum): the date does not appear at all in the Index, but if you go in the LOBBY, then the date shows and is correct.

Hope this helps.

@ajtruckle – I’m happy that I know your problem – I think cassel and hardel have different issues and may each have a different issue to the other. So I don’t need access as I can generate your problem on my test site, but thanks for the offer 🙂

[Chuckie]

I did another test today for this issue and it seemed to be working. I will keep an eye on it.

@robin-w and @johnjamesjacoby

I made the change on the development/test instance of my membership website and changing the setting to ASC did fix the problem.

How should I proceed as I did not make the change to the production website?

[Robin W]

ok, I’ll try that on my test site tomorrow

[hydrogriff]

I tried 2.6.2 as well. As reported in the Child CSS post, I am facing this issue as well. Sub-forums are not displayed. I did purge the cache and tried saving forums too. The following things are not working.

• Subforums wont display
• Replies to topic wont display
• Custom CSS won’t load

@johnjamesjacoby, if it’s any help, I found these info after testing other versions of BBPress.

The subforums and replies were still working in 2.6-beta-1 and 2.6-beta-2.

Additional information:

• CSS stopped working since 2.6-beta-1.
• Replies to topics stopped working since 2.6-rc-1.
• Subforum display stopped working in 2.6-rc-7.

This is a nightmare from what i can see unless you use the TEXT editor and the CODE tag ONLY.

If I insert some sample XSL script into CODE blocks. Example:

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="@ItemPosition='1' and Assistant!=''">
    <xsl:text><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">1st:</span> </xsl:text>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="@ItemPosition='2'">
    <xsl:text><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">2nd:</span> </xsl:text>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="@ItemPosition='3'">
      <xsl:text><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">3rd:</span> </xsl:text>
  </xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

I can edit it to my hearts content. But if I use the TinyMCE edit to edit this post (with the TinYMCE editor being the default at the moment I edit) it strips all the XSL syntax.

Now, I realise that I can add a load of XSL tags into my custom functions.php class to permit these syntax words but that will be a nightmare. XSL has a lot of syntax. Is there really no standard (TinyMCE compatible) where we can insert code snippets and they look correct to the user and still be editable afterwards in either editor?

Hi Robin,

I did try that but it made the reply too small.

Before we look more I would like to share what I see on the mobiletest.me

Iphone res 640px topic create off screen – reply off screen
HTC res 1080px topic create off screen – reply off screen
Lumia res 768px topic create off Screen – Reply off screen
Galaxy res 240px topic create OK screen – reply off screen
tablets all OK

what I find really strange is that on ALL the above phones the Header pic, post title and contents all fit OK.

website is wateratairports.com

As indicated, the best option would indeed be to restart a correct import into a database with the proper characterset. If this is not an option then indeed there are plugins that replace in the DB. Some examples: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/search+replace/
One main remark: do this in a test environment first and always make a backup of everything before launching it

[Clivesmith]

I have inspect data from comparing the pre 2.6 and latest version as seen on Chrome
I can see the difference but cannot get to show it here “IMG” does not seem to work so I don’t know how to put a picture here.

[Robin W]

that’s great, can you give me your hierarchy for one chain, and whether category or forum

eg

‘help forum’ – category
‘self help’ – forum – parent ‘help forum’ order 0
‘self help ideas’ – forum – parent ‘self help’ order 0

etc.

Then I can see if I can replicate on my test site

[Robin W]

@ajtruckle yes the post meta table – glad you found it.
interesting that it set the last active to the topic date in all three settings, as thugh no reply had been set.

ok we seem to have issues with moderation and freshness and this post also seems to be an issue.

Notification is showing latest update for unapproved replies

1. can you confirm you now have moderation turned off ?

and
2. having run the correction, can you replicate the issue, ie make it happen again or does it just randomly do so?

[Chuckie]

I still have a bug with the inserting of videos. If I am creating the topic / reply as an ADMIn then the code is correct:

<video controls="controls" width="300" height="150">
<source src="https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/videos/forum/pts-test-video.mp4" type="video/mp4" /></video>

When you hit SUBMIT the video can be played etc.

But when you are NON-ADMIN and hit SUBMIT the outer chevrons of the inner SOURCE tag get escaped. I don’t know where this issue lies:

– WordPress 5.3?
– TinyMCE Insert Media Plugin 4.9.6 ?
– bbPress 2.6.2?

[malihamannan]

At the top of the forum where it says latest update by XX, it’s showing the latest post even though the post/topic/reply has not been approved yet/still pending. This is causing confusion. Any idea how to fix that? I only want to show the latest approved message time/user, not the ones that are still pending.

[demonboy]

I should add that this appears in loop-single-forum.php where I am including a condition:

<?php $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id(); 
    if (( $forum_id == 40250) or ( $forum_id == 41369) ){
?>

I’d like to then follow this with something that displays the latest topic permalink/title and topic author/avatar.

[demonboy]

Hi,

On my forum archive page I’d like to grab the latest topic permalink and title only on certain forums. Using bbp_topic_title() and bbp_topic_permalink(), how do I get only the latest topic?

[maksanse]

Hello John,

I was doing you a staging site to test that behavior, and I realized this issue is related to Learndash plugin (the [bbp-single-forum] is included in learndash page, and that is what make the pagination links fail).

So I assume you cannot handle this (and I just used some css trick to make the page numbers disappear on learndash pages for my case…).

Sorry for the noise then… 😐

[Clivesmith]

Hi Robin,

I have just been testing on my development site as the sub forums are a major part. I will change the front page and update now. The website is wateratairports.com the countries sub forums should be on the front page under countries.

[Robin W]

depends on the mobile see

and select the phone – you’ll see the css width listed under each

@kent25
The basic reasoning of a forum is: When a topic gets a reply, then the topic has changed so it will show first because the default ordering is by ‘topic last activity’.
It did not test what @barryhughes-1 wrote, but the reasoning looks to be correct for keeping them shown in the order of topic creation date (not modification)
