I can’t replicate this

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

@casiepa

Thanks for coming back.

So I my theme is mobile optimised – and have tested others

I have run test using Google Inspect and I get

Request URL: http://www.getswing.co.uk/wp-login.php
Request Method: POST
Status Code: 403 Forbidden
Remote Address: 46.30.215.105:80

When I run it on a responsive sit using Google Inspect – I get in

Request URL: http://www.getswing.co.uk/wp-login.php
Request Method: POST
Status Code: 302 Found
Remote Address: 46.30.215.105:80

When I use http://www.getswing.co.uk/wp-admin/

It works on mobile

Hi @djhorne,

Never seen that one before to be honest…

I would just think of:
1. Your theme is not fully supporting mobile? But you say you tested other themes.
2. You have Jetpack? There is a setting in the ‘Writing’ tab where you can ‘Optimize your site for smartphones’. Maybe it’s switched off?

That’s the only thing I’m thinking off.
Also please make sure to switch to https, because you are asking for login/password on a standard http and security wise, that’s not really a good thing!

[Pascal Casier]

@johnjamesjacoby @jjj thanks for that!

@thebeeobee Do you have a test forum with the topics you described? Would you be able to install 2.6-RC5 and see if it’s solved? https://bbpress.org/download/

Thanks a lot!

[Editor Mike]

Thanks, that looked handy, but just tried it and it does not seem to have sorted the issue.
Still will not go to the latest reply on topics over 1000.

Topic in question:

Crom's Anvil – 15mm Fantasy

When you click on the last updated by link it changes the URL in the browser but does not actually take you to it…

I almost had it done converting it to simple machine and then to BBPress but it kept getting an error at the end. I was converting to 4.4 (I believe) it was using the latest converter someone posted on the VB Forums. I apologize for not saving the links. I finally gave up. Went back to VB 5.0 and am hosting it myself. vBulletin is by far the best software out there for forums, but not great when you want integration. My forum was pretty good sized..

HH Forums Statistics

Topics: 59,495 Posts: 385,220

I didn’t use the cloud like I did and went back to self hosting like I had before. If you host vBulletin yourself you have total control over it and you can install 3rd party plugins. I use DragonByte. It is inexpensive and great customer support. With the new vBulletin interface and mobile support for apps it is again top of the line.

I waited well over a year for a solution to the problem and WordPress and BBPress were obviously not willing to take a good portion of the crowd wanting to jump from vBulletin. But they waited too long and vBulletin worked their issues out.

Hi @dheerajsharma14,
Just to confirm, ‘latest RC’ is 2.6-RC5 ?

[irishhealer]

Hi,
I am trying to repair the phpb3.2.2 import into bbpress. I have tried several imports since yesterday. I can see all forums, topics and replies in the back-end,but they are not associated with each other on import.

Using bbpress Version 2.6-beta-2. I’ve even tried the the latest trac importers.
Number of posts: 35976
Number of topics: 7199
Number of users: 1449
Can anyone help?

Hello everyone!

I’ve set up a bbPress forum on a clean WordPress installation and applying the simpliest boxed theme to it (twentysixteen). I tested ie and everything was working fine so I made a child theme and started styling it.

Problem is, almost at the end of the customization, I realized that when I search something in the top form, the results page is completely messed up and I can’t seem to figure out why…

I’ve done some googling and ended up on these two topics:
Search css issues…
Template in Extras Directory for Search Results

But they didn’t help me because as for the first one, by using What The FIle plugin, turns out the files WP pulls up in the index and search restults are the same; as for the second one, I didn’t import any custom UI and the theme I created was made a child of twentysixteen which was quite vanilla as for looks.

I admit I’m not a sharp expert on the matter, but I’m out of options…
Does anyone have an idea of why the results page breaks so badly?

Thanks in advance for your replies!
Have a nice day 🙂

Hi bbPress folks,

i created this forum, all fine :)…
http://www.ayurveda-portal.de/test-forum

but when i want to go deeper in the forum, this 404 happens:
http://www.ayurveda-portal.de/ayurveda/forum/zweites-forum

Permalink’s setting is user-defined:
http://www.ayurveda-portal.de/%postname%

I have already researched for a few hours and now I ask you,
I look forward to your input.

All the best

I was testing these plugins on my forum, but noticed that I wasn’t getting any bbP Notify emails when my bbP Moderate Tools setting was set to ‘All Posts (lockdown)’. I’d like to keep the moderation setting that way, but just have the bbP Notify email be sent after a moderator approves a post. Is there a solution to this? I am unfortunately not technical at all.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Hi all,

have gone through numerous posts on the issues of importing phpbb to bbpress. I have been using the latest RC version of bbpress. I am using latest version of WP and phpbb 3.0.11

I have tried cleaning, repairing, resetting and trying again. Nothing works. It shows everything as 0 items to import, no forum, no topics. Only it imports replies without anything else.

Any help will be appreciated. I really want to move away from phpbb forum 🙁

[TechHaus]

I haven’t looked into this too deeply, but I believe the behavior is the same on this forum. Since I just started my test forum, it was easy to spot.

So say I make 3 super stickies or stickies (like, for example, in this Troubleshooting forum), and for this example, i will set my number of topics per page to 25 to match this site’s settings… on the first page, I will see something like what I see on here:

Viewing 28 topics – 1 through 25 (of 10,507 total)

If I go to page 2, i will see:

Viewing 25 topics – 26 through 50 (of 10,504 total)

So the 3 sticky topicss count towards the total only on the front page. Dpending on how many topics you have set per page – again 25 for this scenario – if someone goes to your last page by number via the pagination on the first page, they could end up at a blank page with no topics!

For example, currently on page 421 of this forum, there are 4 topics (soon to be 5 after I post this, probably). As you can see above in this post, it says there are 10,504 posts total, 10,500 is evenly divided by 25…leaving a remainder of 4…the 4 posts you see. 22 more posts and we’re onto page 422.

But On page 1, if the post count read 10,502 (currently is says 10,507 as shown above, but please induldge me on the 10,502 example), then it would show page 421 as it does now ONLY ON PAGE 1. And if i clicked on that page 421, it would be blank, because that pagination count is being created from that total count, it seems, which include the stickies, ONLY ON PAGE 1. In this imaginary scenario, if i were to go to page 2, the last page would turn into page 420, and the option to go to 421, which is actually blank, wouldn’t exist.

So including the stickies in the total topic count creates a bug on page 1 of pagination in certain scenarios.

—-

The way i came across this is that I’m starting some new forums and trying to learn the plugin…So i tested 3 stickies…and again, in this scenario, let’s just imagine that I’m allowing 25 posts per page. With the 3 stickies and 48 posts, the front page showed me having a total of 51 posts, and the 3rd page was available to the pagination. When i click on that third page, it is blank and there are only 48 posts, because the stickies are longer being counted. So again, a user can encounter this confusing behavior on page 1!

Just wanted to see if everyone else is encountering this on their own sites and on here if maybe stickies should be addressed in the function to determine pagination to help remove these exceptions that can cause navigation to a blank page with no topics.

you can never guarantee that every plugin will work with every other plugin or combination of plugins and settings.

suggest you :

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

[Robin W]

sorry I don’t have time to install your theme to my test site.

[saibansal]

please help me how can i resolve this issue

[jelliott2014]

OK. Here’s an example.

Chemistry and YAN test posts

Hope this helps.

[Robin W]

my style pack plugin has a latest activity widget that lets you display the above

bbp style pack

[wpturk]

I use the latest bbpress 2.6 RC5. The new feature mention is not working properly.

Whenever a user has email address in the text body, the domain after “@” is considered as mention.

ex: in text body info @ test.com (I use with space because the same case here in forum)

changes to:

@test.com”>info @test.com

and @test is clickable as a mention.

[davedowell]

testing these forums for editing

[Robin W]

this is a conditional statement

basically it has 3 parts

test
?
true
:
false

each in this case is a function

so the test is bbp_show_lead_topic() – This will return false by default, but if you set it using a filter, then it would be true

if this returns true then the ‘?’ function is executed which will show the reply count (just the number of replies)

if false then the ‘:’ statement is executed which shows then post count (the count of topic + replies ie replies +1)

[Robin W]

the wordpress forums run on bbpress, for instance

https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

this one has 39,000 pages of 15 topics per page, so maybe give it a speed test !

No reason why you shouldn’t just run a forum on a site – up to you
