ello,

Members of private groups are missing in their overviews the started topics and created replies from private forum(s) .

e.g Group member erwintest (member of 1 group) added some topics and replies in the private forum that should (at least i expect that) pop up via this link
/members/erwintest/forums/ and /members/erwintest/forums/replies/ but they don’t.

However if i logon as administrator and use the same links, the started topics and created replies placed in the private forum of user erwintest do popup.

Is this expected behaviour or not?

With Non private forums there is no problem.

Thanks for the follow up. Here is what I did…

1. Disabled all plugins except bbpress
2. I switched to a WP default theme, ie: twentyfifteen and twentyseventeen
3. Did the above with Chrome, Firefox, and MS Edge browsers

Same thing still happens. So with the admin bar disabled, and logging in from the default WP login screen, and with bbpress enabled, I just get redirected to the site’s front page — no admin page. So I still have to add wp-admin/ at the end of the url address to get into the admin area. If I disable bbpress, then everything works normal. Enable it again, goes back to the issue.

As mentioned, I’ve encountered this for at least a couple years. So based on testing, it’s not theme related and not plugin (other plugins) related. Something about bbpress is redirecting after logging in with the default WP login and not sending me directly into the admin.

If there is something coded in bbpress for “Forum logging in” for front-end users, then I can see this being relevant. However, logging into the admin, is the problem.

Hi,

I have the following code in my themes functions.php
function bbp_reverse_reply_order( $query = array() ) { // bbp_has_replies_query is depricated ?
$query['order']='DESC';
return $query;
}
add_filter('bbp_has_replies_query','bbp_reverse_reply_order');

This works fine except when a new reply is added, you get redirected to the page with the oldest replies instead of the page that contains the just added reply. This seems to be an old problem, have tried various plugins, but they all lead to the same outcome.

So the question is how to force, after adding a new reply, to be directed to the right page.

This is not standard behaviour.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[saulmayo]

nobody knows how to proceed?

I want to ask also if this plugin is dead. it seems that there is no movement in support, the repository version has 8 months … only tested until the version of wp 4.7 …

[dedotombo]

I have the exact same issue using BuddyPress 2.9.4 (cannot update to 3 because of theme issues) and bbpress 2.5.14 (latest).

[edugorilla7]

How can be export Sabai discuss forum data to bbPress?
I have exported csv files from Sabai discuss plugin.
Please help !
My wordpress Version is 4.9.4 with latest bbPress verison.

[Chad]

Running WordPress 4.9.6 and bbPress version 2.5.14

When someone goes to https://www.togetherpuertorico.com/forums/forum/volunteer-events-opportunities/ and enters their correct username and password and clicks on login, it takes them to the default wordpress login page rather than logging them into their bbPress account.

If they login on the default /wp-login.php page and then go back to https://www.togetherpuertorico.com/forums/forum/volunteer-events-opportunities/ it appears as though they are still not logged in, but if you click the refresh button in Chrome, it now appears that they are logged in.

I’ve tested this with both a wordpress admin user level account and a standard bbPress Subscriber, Participant user role status.

I’ve looked in the server php error log and nothing is recorded.

I’ve reverted back to the default TwentySeventeen theme to see if the theme we are using was the cause, but it still didn’t work.

So this is what I understand from this thread so far, to provide clarity moving forwards:

1. Dynamic reply box that opens next to post replying to in forum is actually already a feature of bbpress, but not for BuddyPress group forums.
2. Some themes seem to not engage this functionality and the way to fix that is to copy the reply.js file into a folder called js that is at the root of child theme.
3. It works with visual editor

So the only problem is that it does not work for Buddypress Group forums. However, @robkk mentioned, earlier in this thread, a patch he made. But he has not been active on these forums for over a year.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2974
It is pretty easy to workaround this issue as well, since all you have to do is enqueue the javascript with a different conditional or enqueue it sitewide, but doing it sitewide might cause another issue somewhere.
Here I just added a bbpress-functions.php file to a twentysixteen child theme. I edited out the conditional causing the issues with groups. You can test this on my test site as well.
You would have to remove the file later if the trac tickets patch I linked to is committed and you are using version 2.6 of bbPress, so that you can have the file enqueued on the pages where it is needed.
https://cloudup.com/czqFBqJE8TE

The trac ticket he mention seems to be resolved yet it’s not working for BP group forums. The link to the code on cloudup is broken.

So that’s the summary of where we are at on this thread… the big question is, does anyone have any insight or can help with enabling the dynamic reply box to BP group forums topics?

My situation is… if I try to write text, then bbpress show me an “error”.

Would you mind check this image “https://prnt.sc/jotnub“…

Anyone can help me??

Good day!

I was having issue on viewing private forum. It says “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”
See screenshot here: http://prntscr.com/joveye

Also I wasn’t able to create topic on a forum and was being redirected to a 404 page.

I already do plugin and theme conflict test but still it wont work.

I am using the latest version of wordpress and bbpress. The site is using Jollyany theme by JollyThemes. I even tried switching to twentyseventeen theme but still not working.
This is the site where I am having issues with: http://b-mforum.com/

Hoping for any solutions. Thanks in advance!

[Colin Poole]

Yeah the converter tool isn’t working for me either. I just get starting conversion, rows of “no X to convert” and eventually it finishes, having done nothing. No errors come out so I don’t know how to test if I’ve entered the incorrect info or what. Any help?

The links that aren’t working, are they consistently not working? Can you provide an example of that

Also, try going to Settings> Permalinks and allow that page to simply load. That helps refresh links and can help with broken links. Then test links that aren’t working again.

I have just installed bbPress on a development instance for testing purposes.
I note that I am only presented with the straight Text editor (and the message “Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content”). For most of my users (and probably myself!) the Visual editor (as per WordPress itself) would be most preferable.

Q: How do I configure bbPress to present a tab for the Visual editor?

Cheers,
Geoff

[Tradewind25]

Hi,

This is my first posting to this forum. I am beginning to test bbPress and have installed it on a development site. I have created one forum containing an intial “Welcome” topic.
See: http://dev.asbyparish.org.uk/forums/forum/asby-gardening-club/

The first thing that strikes me is the very weird aspect ratio of the avatars. Especially as my understanding is that avatars are always square(??)

How can I control the avatar size?
I see nothing under Settings > Forums, which is what I would expect.

Thanks,
Geoff

Whenever I make a post, a giant blurry profile picture is posted on top of it. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

[yso1]

Fixed it myself. Extending on benklocek s code, and also translating, added to themes functions.php

function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == ‘Keymaster’ )
return ‘Sjef’;

if( $role == ‘Spectator’ )
return ‘Observator’;

if( $role == ‘Blocked’ )
return ‘Utestengt’;

if( $role == ‘Participant’ )
return ‘Deltager’;

return $role;
}

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles’, 10, 2 );

Peace!

Hello!
I seem to be having an issue with how topic replies are being displayed on my forum.
You can see the issue here: https://theknightsofentropia.blog/forums/topic/testing-2/

As you can see, the most recent reply is being displayed in a large banner across the top of the page. Only time stamps and post numbers are displayed below the original topic. If there are multiple replies, you can’t view them. Only the most recent reply (the one displayed across the top) can be seen.

Latest WP and bbPress

The forum listing shows up fine, but with a very small font that I find hard to read. I think I’ve tried every possible font setting in my theme, but none seem to affect the font for fora. The font is also small in the standard themes.

Any tips?

[emgb_520]

We have a few forums using bbPress on our site and I think there may be a bug.

When you click on the time stamp under “Latest” for a particular forum, it is supposed to take you to that post, but sometimes it doesn’t. And sometimes when admin is logged out, the post doesn’t even show up when trying to go to it (even on the non-premium, unrestricted forums).

Also, we have 2 of the 4 forums restricted because they are premium. When on the forum list page, clicking on the forum title of a premium forum goes to a restricted page. BUT when clicking on the timestamp of the latest post for that premium forum, it lets you see the thread. This isn’t supposed to happen because the forum is restricted.

Please help! Thanks in advance!
