[Robin W]

sounds like there is something that bbpress is seeing as an error or not filled in field.

My suggestion would be to get a screenshot of the fields he has completed (and any he hasn’t) and try the exact entry the is trying to create.

I’d also get him to try posting a test topic with something simple in another forum, or posting a reply to see if it is him, or what he is posting that is the issue

[Manaus]

A forum user notified me that he cannot post a new topic. He writes the the title, the post body, the tags, and then on clicking on ‘send’ the page gets refreshed on the topics list view, and at the bottom he can still view the post contents still in the form, with the form prefilled with the data already entered.

His role is participant, and for the sake of testing I faked a participant role to check if the role was blocked. It is not. I managed to post a new toping without hassle.
The Forum is open.

Where or how can I get more details about the process? What’s blocking, or what errors are returned, maybe they are hidden. Any suggestion?

v2.6.11 and wp6.6.2 with following plugins installed

Plugins:
bbp style pack
bbp user ranking
bbppress notify (no-spam)
GD bbPress Toolbox Pro

Thank you very much

[Robin W]

Learndash I think hides some stuff, maybe try disabling and see if that is the issue, you can then look at what you need to do there.

If not, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, 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.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.

The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.

My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.

bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. In essence it is a WordPress product, written by the founder of Wordress, and taken into a plugin by sponsorship from WordPress.
There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.

I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.6.x and php 8.2 with no issues.

The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.

However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this

bbp style pack

as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.

All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.

The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.

But with open software you make your choices….

[Robin W]

ok, that’s like sending your auto mechanic a picture of your Ford and asking him to say what is wrong 🙂

The best I can say is it could be a theme or plugin issue

yes, @robin-w its working on server side by default buddyx-theme/twentytwenty and no need any additional code add. May i know the reason why didn’t work on localhost ??

And Next time I will test it on the server first. If I face any problem then I will post it.

thank you so much your great help @robin-w

[Robin W]

ok, since I cannot see the site, troubleshooting is near impossible.

Hi, I am using bbpress first time. WordPress Ver : 6.6.1 , BBpress Ver : 2.6.11 , theme : buddyx 4.5.8

I couldn’t find a solution to this issue.
the issue is : when i post new topic and edit again and URL generate : http://buddypress.local/index.php/questions/topic-3/edit/ [404 error]
any other way how to edit topic from frontend not wordpress backend ?
i have test in my localhost system.

Thanks

Hi Robin
Your test forum I believe is arranged as bbp style pack > Forum Templates > Alternate Forum template 1
My Forum is arranged as bbp style pack > Forum Templates > Default Forum Template > Click to Select
Then under bbp style pack > Forum Display > (Item 1 checkbox is not Selected)

My Forum presents all Forums in a horizontal format, which is great for views on Desktop / PC etc.
But what I am looking to achieve is to change that horizontal format to a vertical format when somebody views my forums on a mobile device < 400 dpi.

Horizontal View Mobile

Vertical View Mobile
https://uktechhub.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/vertical-view.png

Horizontal View when bbp style pack > Forum Templates > Default Forum Template > Click to Select
And looking to change this view to Vertical for mobile screens

[Robin W]

not sure what you are after, it does exactly that on my test site.

Link to an example please

[sunshineday77]

Subscriber level users are unable to reply to newly created topics. They can’t see the rely button an don’t see the text box to enter their reply. bbPress is behind a membership site, and the forums are set to closed and the topics are set to open. I’ve exhausted troubleshooting with ChatGPT. Please help as we have a class starting Monday. I emailed everyone to reply to a topic and they are unable to do so.

I tested as an admin and can see the reply button and text entry box.
Signed in as a student (subscriber) those items are not visible.

[Uriahs Victor]

There’s a lot of functionality I’m seeing on this forum that I’m not too sure how to reproduce on my own install of bbPress.

One of them is the account dropdown links that show when you hover over your profile photo, see this screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/jx5O0rsY1Qoy.png

I have no idea how to reproduce this, I’ve checked the shortcodes available but I can’t find it: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/

I’m working from a local WP install so the site is not live. When i try to visit the links on my install they dont work, for example:

https://forum-website.local/forums/profile/admin/topics
https://forum-website.local/forums/profile/admin/replies
…
…

The forum root is set to forums and admin is the name of the user im logged into and testing. How do I go about reproducing this dropdown so users can keep track of their topics, replies, subscriptions, favorites etc just like on bbpress.org?

It’s super customized, but if there’s a demand I could think about making it available.

Want to test out a new website feature?

[TKServer]

Yeah I just deployed the first version. Once it’s been tested and gotten some user feedback I’ll update if necessary, then I think I’ll make a free version for the bbPress community.

[enkoes]

@houd, thanks for your help.

I tried your code but the ‘span’ tag does not work as expected.
Strangely, I think the code itself is correct because ‘strong’ tag (bold text) does work when I added it in the code for testing purpose. Like this:

function wp_bbpress_allow_tags(){
    return array(
        'span'=> array(
            'class'     => true,
            'style'     => true,
        ),
        'strong'     => array(),
    );
}
add_filter('bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'wp_bbpress_allow_tags');

Don’t know what go wrong.

[Milan Petrovic]

All these are fixed, current stable version is 2.6.11, and all the risks you listed are for older versions. Update the plugin to the latest stable version.

[prashpbt]

Hello ,

I was in the process of checking BBpress 2.6.11 . I installed WP 6.0.9 on Centos 7 with Apache 2.2, MYSQL 5.5, PHP 5.6.40. Added BBpress from plugins menu .

However, after creating a forum or post topic , when I try to view the same , the URL that goes to http://{{URL}}/{{TO}}/{{WP}}/forums/forum/{{forum-name}}/ is blank and no content is shown.

Also enabled debugging in wp-config.php i.e define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );, however, no error is being thrown.

I checked with the latest 6.5.5 version as well on PHP 7.4, MYSQL 5.7 but this doesn’t work.

What could be causing the issue?. Could you please replicate this at your end?.

[Eusebiu Oprinoiu]

I just did a test with the LearnDash integration addon disabled, and it made no difference.
The issue is caused by bbPress.

[teresaanderson]

I just went back to my test site and it looks like I’m no longer having the issue. I didn’t make any changes to the code, so I’m not sure why it’s working now, but thanks again!

[teresaanderson]

I copied the entire page. Please let me know if there’s something else you need. Thanks!

Hello
The following problem: if I open my forum with the chrome browser, everything works fine. However, if the page is opened with opera and edge, the latest pages are not loaded. The caches are all cleared. Can anyone help me?
Many thanks and best regards, Rainer

More precisely:
It’s about the page http://www.chemieaufgaben.ch. Directly on the homepage, for example, immediately below the page title Chemieaufgaben.ch is the line
… INCLUDING SOLUTION PATHS (LAST UPDATE 18 JUNE 2024) . This line is loaded in opera and edge as follows:
… INCLUDING SOLUTION PATHS (LAST UPDATE 20 MAY 2024)
The date (directly as text, not dynamically generated) is therefore incorrect. Other posts are also partially ignored (depending on the browser). But everything works fine with Chrome. And as already mentioned: the cache is cleared

[Robin W]

ok, so you need to get emails working, as this is essential for your site to work long term.

so the email adress taht emails are sent to is in

dashboard>settings>general>administration email address

you should make sure that this is a valid address and is working.

You can use

Check & Log Email

to test emails, and see what are being sent.

If you enable logging, youshould see the error email in the log

I don’t know why, but the TinyMCE toolbar doesn’t show by default on Astra theme and Page Builder Framework theme. It does show on some default WP themes, but I don’t understand why.

In Astra, the toolbar is there in the HTML, but it has display: none set to the CSS because of this class string: .no-js .hide-if-no-js

I don’t quite understand what is causing that class to be added onto the toolbar. Can anyone shed some light? Is there some option or filter I need to set for this to show?

I at first thought it detected if there was No JS enabled in the browser but thats not the issue because I can use JS…im visiting my test forum just as Im visiting this one and it shows.

Hello.
We have an issue where our thumbnails are not showing when bbPress is enabled. I did a plugin conflict test, and it is only when bbPress is deactive that the issue is resolved.

Are you able to help with this issue?
