If I understand it, my ‘recent activity widget’ does that

you can find it in

bbp style pack

once activated you’ll find a new widget called

(style pack) latest activity

[Robin W]

not tested as going out soon, but this should work

add_action ( 'bbp_new_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post', 10, 4 );
add_action ( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post', 10, 4 );

function myprefix_assign_tag_to_post($topic_id, $forum_id, $anonymous_data, $topic_author) {
if( $forum_id == '168'  && bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) {
	wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, 'introductions', 'topic-tag', true );
}

elseif($forum_id == '1343' && bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) {
		wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, 'discovery', 'topic-tag', true );

}
}

I tried several other tests.

Test 1: I deactivated WP Super Cache and activated bbPress. I cleared cache. The white screen with 500 error occurred immediately.

Test 2: I deactivated both WP Super Cache and bbPress. The home page comes up and articles can be viewed. The root page for the forums can be viewed, but the individual forums are not displayed.

At this point, I reverted back to WP Super Cache active and bbPress not active.

[domeboys]

Robin, I did not explain well.

Last week’s problem was high CPU usage. Installing WP SuperCache was part of the recommended fix. The site seemed stable since.

Today’s problem was 500 errors keeping anyone from being unable to access the site. Upgrading PHP and disabling bbPress were two of the actions taken. The site is stable except for the forums.

All I am trying to achieve right now is to get my forums running again. If off the top of your head, you know how to exclude bbPress from WP SuperCache, that information would be helpful. If not, I will try to figure it out and test it.

I appreciate your help.

[domeboys]

Thank you, Robin. I am new here, and wanted to ensure I was at the right place. I’ve had bbPress installed for the last 16 months with no problems until now.

To answer your question directly, that earlier error description is all HostGator gave me when I asked them for documentation to provide you.

Here is further background on the problem.

Today’s issue began with all users presented with “500 Error. Internal Server Error.” when accessing the site, which is a mix of free and subscriber content and has both free and subscriber forums.

By clearing browser cache, one could get on the site (both articles and forums) for about a 10 minute period before the 500 errors returned. However, during that window, one could only view the free forum, but could not enter replies, because being logged in first is a site requirement. For that same reason, one could not view subscriber articles or the subscriber forum.

During that approximate 10 minutes, when trying to log in, one was presented with a message that said “Error: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.” This seemed to make no sense, since cookies were in fact enabled.

I tested the problem with three different browsers and it was the same – MS Edge, Firefox and Chrome. I can get into my backend WP Dashboard to administer the site with no issue.

HostGator support determined that by disabling all plugins, the problem would go away. Then the process of going through the plug-ins one by one led them to identify bbPress as the culprit. When bbPress is enabled, the 500 errors return. With it disabled, logins and both free and premium article access work normally. But both forums are down.

If there is other information I can gather, please let me know what and how to get it. Or if you need backend access to my WP installation, I am happy to grant that.

Hi all.
After a lot of testings and experiments in order to get the board running with all the same functionalities I had before in 3.0.14, I tried to install a clean version of 3.20, then install the extensions needed. The tentative was successful so I decided to follow this way to bring my old board to the new version in production mode.
The problem is related to the data migration from 3.0 to 3.2.
I’ve managed to export the old data from a clean 3.0.x DB (without any mod installed) and then import them in the new, empty 3.2 DB, but the two structures differ a lot, giving me many errors.
I’ve tried to manage those errors, but editing a 150MB SQL file it’s a huge waste of time.
I’ve looked for a routine in the php migration code present in the install subdir, but I didn’t find anything usable in a easy way.
Has anyone met the same problem and is there anybody that could give me a draft solution?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I want to do a test mailing in my staging area, to see if a new WP plugin works for BBpress. In order to do this, i want to change all emails to my personal email address for all that are subscribed to the forum (so i don’t accidentally send out mails to real users,(this has actually happened to me before)). The problem is that the WP user_email is found in the DB wp_users and the forum meta info is found in the DB wp_usermeta. What SQL statement would i use if i wanted to change the email of all bbpress “Participants” to “myemail@email.com”. I want to do something like:
UPDATE wp_users SET user_email = "myemail@email.com" WHERE wp_usermeta.meta_key = "participant";

Hello. I have successfully edited all breadcrumbs on the Forums and Topics pages, but have been unable to edit the breadcrumbs on the bbPress generated user profile page. Currently, the page title reads “Edit profile for User: testname” and the breadcrumb reads “You are here: Home”

I want to edit that breadcrumb to read “You are here: Home > Forums > Profile”

Any insights? Thanks!

[Robin W]

I meant test with just bbpress, so eliminating toolkit, which you have done.

If it was working, and now is not, then something has changed with that account.

So first, I suggest you go though the settings for the working and not working user and check any differences

[maksanse]

Hi Robin,
Thanks for the quick answer, but I don’t understand it. What do you mean ?

Disabling bbp toolkit doesn’t solve the issue. (I need to have the Tiny MCE editor you see on picture WORKING because my users need to upload images). And btw, it was working correctly a few days ago, so disabling it is not the solution for me.

I made some other test and it appears that if I use other admin account, the editor displays correctly. So it’s only with ONE admin account (the one I do everything on my forum) that the issue is present.

Any other idea ?

Hello,

It was recently brought to my attention that registrations were not being sent. I asked the users to try the “forgot password” link and this does not work either. I set up the plugin “Easy WP SMTP” and tested it and it works… but now I have 332 users registered and they cannot login. What do I do?

[Robin W]

not that I know – I cab only suggest as a test you remove your string modifier and see if that fixes.

[Robin W]

what is confusing me is that in

dashboard>settings>forums>single forum slug you have

discussion where I have forum, and it is this slug that is the extra one showing in the url.

Why you have discussion, I have no idea, I have not seen this before

all I can suggest is that it could be a theme or plugin issue issue, so you’ll need to test to find out which

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

and see what is setting this to discussion

Then come back

[lookingahead]

also, i’m using what i believe is the latest version of buddypress (version 3.2.0)

[lookingahead]

@robin-w i’m using version 2.5.14 — that’s the latest version, right?

[Robin W]

untested, but this should do it

add_filter ('bbp_after_has_search_results_parse_args', 'my_function')

my_function ($args) {
	
		// bbp_get_closed_status_id() REMOVED,
		$post_statuses = array(
			bbp_get_public_status_id(),
			bbp_get_spam_status_id(),
			bbp_get_trash_status_id()
		);

		// Add support for private status
		if ( current_user_can( 'read_private_topics' ) ) {
			$post_statuses[] = bbp_get_private_status_id();
		}

		// Join post statuses together
		$args['post_status'] = implode( ',', $post_statuses );
		
return $args ;

}

[Robin W]

sorry, untested and taken from my files – try

function rew_no_reply_per_forum ($reply_address) {
	$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id() ;
	if ($forum_id == 6 ) $reply_address =  'xxx@yyy.com' ;
	if ($forum_id == 7) $reply_address =  'abd@hdhd.com' ;
	return $reply_address ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address', 'rew_no_reply_per_forum') ;

Hello,
I’m working with a 3.1v of phpBB. I’ve worked my way through a few hurdles but I’m stuck on the current one. The latest error I’m getting is [Unknown column ‘forums.forum_topics’ in ‘field list’]. For the life of me, I have no idea where this is coming from. The error info

SELECT convert(forums.forum_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_id,convert(forums.parent_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS parent_id,convert(forums.forum_topics USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_topics,convert(forums.forum_posts USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_posts,convert(forums.forum_topics_real USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_topics_real,convert(forums.forum_name USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_name,convert(forums.forum_desc USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_desc,convert(forums.left_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS left_id,convert(forums.forum_type USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_type,convert(forums.forum_status USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_status FROM phpbb_forums AS forums LIMIT 0, 100 /* From…

The very first error I had to overcome was the utf8mb4 issue. I backed up the database and then restored it in a new database. Judging by what I’m seeing it looks like I wasn’t successful?

How would I make bbPress functions available for a WordPress template file?

Specifically, I’m building some custom RSS feeds, one of which lists the latest topics posted on the website, but with some modifications. While I can pull the latest topics with a query_posts() call using (‘post_type’ => ‘topic’) and parse them with a standard post loop, I can’t figure out how to access tags related to each topic. I assume that bb_get_topic_tags() should get me the tags but the function is not available for the RSS file template which is in my WordPress template directory. I have basically been using this method for custom RSS feeds.

Since a function_exists() call for bb_get_topic_tags() returns false, I assume that I should first prime or load the bbPress plugin somehow. But how? Or am I approaching this completely wrong? I suppose I could always do a direct SQL query but I would like to avoid that if possible.

I have tried searching here and elsewhere but keep drawing blanks. The closest I could get to is this topic but it doesn’t really give an answer, or at least not one that I can understand.

I’m running the latest public bbPress and WordPress versions.

Hello,

I have been trying to test my forums and sometimes I get an error message that says “ERROR: Your reply cannot be created at this time.” I have checked my settings and I cannot figure out why this error message is coming up. A few people who have tried to post have told me that they received this message as well. It does not happen to every forum or every topic, only some of them. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I am using the BB Press plugin. Thank you.

Kristin

@illuminstr

If you do not have caching software that might be not accepting the change to the settings, then

It could be a theme or plugin issue issue, so you’ll need to test to find out which

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

Deactivate all but 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

[marketing050]

I tried testing the twentyfifteen and the other twenty-themes, did not work. Also deactivated the plugins, did not work. I think the hosting is using mysql for it servers.

Hi robin, thx for the reply.

Unfortunately, that “previous versions” is the same as the trac, which doesn’t have the ‘tests’ folder that contains all the unit testing.
