ok, I’ll try that on my test site tomorrow
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
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.
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
@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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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… 😐
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.
Clive
depends on the mobile see
http://mobiletest.me/
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)
I can comment on this one. I do have the “attach media” GD plugin but not tested it. We don’t use WordPress add media here. We use the tinymce insert image and put a link it.
As previously mentioned yesterday, I can’t insert videos anymore if not admin because of the escaping of the HTML in the source tag which is crippling.
can you upgrade to 2.6.1 and retest please
I’ve just trued it in my test site, and it seems to work ok.
I presume you mean that on then topic or reply form, the user is clicking the IMG link and entering the details?
and is it just an image within a post, or is the whole post not showing?
last active time on a topic would pick up if there had been replies.
I loaded your code onto my site, and it worked fine.
I’m not sure what other help you want
1. topic will do what you want, it is saying that there are new topics within the period
2. I don’t understand this question, works fine on my test site]
3. yes it is counting any new topics or topics where there have been new replies – is that nit what you want?
@robin-w
I am struggling with your other request. Something isn’t right. I have moderation still switched ON …
If I try to insert a video (only one video) as a non-admin and hit enter the video won’t play. When I edit the post the content looks like this:
<video controls="controls" width="300" height="150">
**source src="pathtovideo/pts-test-video.mp4" type="video/mp4" /**</video>
bbPress has escaped the < and > symbols.
If I log back in as admin and perform the same task. I get a functional video link:
<video controls="controls" width="300" height="150">
<source src="pathtovideo/pts-test-video.mp4" type="video/mp4" /></video>
I know it is a side issue but I don’t understand how to fix that and until I do I can’t complete the testing you wanted.
If you want to remove moderation, I think this will do it
add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );
Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use
Code Snippets
If someone could test and report back, that would be useful. I have no time availability to do this 🙂
I’m just looking at that code are to try and understand it.
Yes, admins and moderators skip the moderation rules.
Thanks for the useful testing of the first part – ie the links.
Images and videos are just links as far as I can see, so should obey the same rules as above and be included in the count.
so 1 links, I video and 1 image = 3 links.
can you retest based on that and see if just 1 image is going into pending, or if it is the combination.
@johnjamesjacoby
Please look at the associated, more active discussion on this subject. There are lots of users who now have to approve every post. I have provided comments in that discussion instead.
I suggest you review that discussion. True, there are complaints, which are all to easy to roll of the tongue, but the point it things have changed. I don’t want to repeat my feedback so please see the other thread.
I personally need to find a way to control things going into pending. It should only do so if it thinks it needs moderation. Not all posts. The other discussion I found the function that changed the way posts are moderated so so thing must be askew there.
If your forum is working ok then are you on WordPress 5.3? What are your WordPress discussion settings set to for moderation? It might be an idea to become a admin on one of our sites. Best way to test because I expect this is a common solution.
