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 ;

}

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.

[pandraka]

I just ran into this issue, it turns out one of words in our moderation list was “ass”. This was causes any topics with words like class, associate, assembly, password etc to be held for moderation (pending status). After a bunch of testing the only solution was to remove “ass” from the moderation list.

[alanbuddyboss]

Can anyone point me the place where i can find the unit test for specific bbpress version?

In the trac repo, only the trunk/beta/rc have the unit test folder. But on the standard release, it’s just the production version.

Maybe there’s already a way to do it in trac’s interface but I couldn’t figure out.

For example, I want to get the unit test for version 2.5.12 to run some compatibility test on my plugin. How can I get that?

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags

Thanks much 🙂

Bumping this as the sentiment in the original post about the lack of progress with maintaining bbbpress as an active project seems to be even more relevant now than when this topic was made.

While somehow wordpress.org indicates the bbpress plugin was last updated a week ago, the current version 2.5.14 was released in September 2017.

The next release as far as I can tell is 2.60, for which the latest development version, rc5, was first put out for feedback 13 months ago.

it is not reasonable to call this project under active development.

[Robin W]

if you actually posted ‘After clicking on register button wp shows wp-login.php page but without login form. Only -1 in upper left corner.’ on a wordpress forum, why would they even mention bbpress? Youy must have asked a question mentioning bbpress.

I have looked at the issue and it is a wordpress issue, but general advice

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

Themes

I populated config.php with the data and it WORKS! (looks good by the way!!).

The only thing is that my forum is at

test.domain.com/forum/

I cannot get it to the root at

test.domain.com

I have the latest RC of bbpress, trying to import from a phpbb 3.2.0 install. I have reset it and started it and reset it and started it and no matter what I do, it starts with “no users to import” and then it imports thousands of forums/topics all assigned to anonymous.

Is there a way to only import users at first and once it successfully does it, then do the normal import of the forums/topics and so forth?

Or is there a common issue that has been found with importing users that can be fixed by adjusting something in the source database (or…something)?

Hey all, we’re having trouble with bbpress replies, and we can’t seem to figure out what the issue is.

Everything works fine except when a normal “subscriber” level user tries to reply to his own post in the bbpress forum. The “subscriber” level has some additional permissions that we’ve added in using the User Role editor plugin. If he tries to reply to his own post, he gets this error message:

“ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.”

He can create posts, reply to other posts, but just not his own. I’ve tested this with our test account, and the same thing happens with the test account.

We are using the User Role Editor plugin, and our developer has checked the settings but they seem to be correct.

Our next plan is to create a new role in WP, with the same capabilities as the custom “subscriber” level. Wondering if any of you have had this experience, or have suggestions for what we should try.

[jh20001]

I also think the many attempts to import, find an error, add the column, import, find an error, add the column…..etc, led to bbpress having a meltdown somewhere possibly as in WordPress, when you click on the forums link in the menu or the “All Forums” sub menu item, it leads to a ERROR 502 – BAD GATEWAY.

I tried re-installing the plugin but the forums listing menu item is shot. I even upgraded to the current release candidate.

On a positive note, the current release candidate seems to be importing data….working on importing up to convert 50k+ topics right now. Even though the forum listing in admin screen is screwed, this is at least a good test to see what happens on the import I guess…

[Robin W]

Try this – or much easier just add my style pack plugin to your site which has this fix built in, and let me know if it fixes

bbp style pack

//filter to correctly return last active ID for sub forums
//note : a parent forum or category can get the wrong last active ID if a topic in a sub forum is marked as spam or deleted. This filter ignores the parent and works out the correct sub forum

//don't add if pg filter exists as this will have done it already
if (!function_exists ('private_groups_get_permitted_subforums')) {
	add_filter ('bbp_get_forum_last_active_id' , 'rew_get_forum_last_active_id', 10 , 2 ) ;
}

function rew_get_forum_last_active_id ($active_id, $forum_id) {
	$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums($forum_id) ;
	if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) {
		$active_id = 0;
		$show = array();
		//find the latest permissible 
		foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
			$sub_forum_id =  $sub_forum->ID ;
			$active_id = get_post_meta( $sub_forum_id , '_bbp_last_active_id', true );
			$last_active = get_post_meta( $sub_forum_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true );
			if ( empty( $active_id ) ) { // not replies, maybe topics ?
				$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $sub_forum_id );
				if ( !empty( $active_id ) ) {
					$last_active = bbp_get_topic_last_active_time( $active_id );
				}
			}
			if ( !empty( $active_id ) ) {
				$curdate = strtotime($last_active);
				$show[$curdate] = $active_id ;

Hello,

Recently I started to setup a community using buddypress and bbpress and only after a few tests I noticed that when someone create or reply a topic no notification is created. This is a bit frustrating considering how important the notifications are to keep track of what is happening in the community.

Looking through the forum for a solution I found a topic with a similar subject, however when trying to use their code a empty notification is created (there is no text or description). Here is the topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-reply-notification-link-to-the-reply/

Anyone can tell me if the code above still working? I think that something changed since that this code was published, but I cant figured out what.

[grimmag]

Hello. It shows that this plugin is “Untested with your version of WordPress” and hasn’t been updated in over a year? I don’t want to get another plugin that doesn’t work so could you tell me if there are any plans to update to the latest WP Version? It’s not like Version 4.9.8 just came out. Thanks in advance!

[Robin W]

can you just (as a brief test) deactivate the toolkit plugin and see if the error goes away.
then come back

[Robin W]

ok, I cannot say why it is not working, it works in my test site

I presume this code is going into you child theme’s function’s file – sorry but I do not know how technical you are, so I ask the obvious questions !

you could try >9 and see if that works !

[Robin W]

that code will close the topic on 100 replies, so unless you tested with creating the 100th reply, then it would not work. Did you do this ?
