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 🙁

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]

[jelliott2014]

OK. Here’s an example.

Chemistry and YAN test posts

Hope this helps.

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.

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

Hi!

First of all thanks for quick response. Its not just breadcrumbs that are affected – all topics links have the same problem. Ok let me try to describe…
1. I made change with method 1.
2. I have changed forum root from original permalink forums to forums-test.
3. New page permalink is set to forums and i call index forum with code on this page and it works – it shows forum root but all links of topics and subforums offcourse are affected with change of forum root link change and links to forums-test.
4. If i set forums-test back in forum settings to just forums then my page that is supposed to show forum index called with code gets overridden with original forum page and page theme i don’t want.

[Robin W]

here is fine.

ok so is this a new site? has it worked before and stopped working?

What has changed – have you added a plugin upgraded plugins or done anything to themes.

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

Hi guys,

My bbpress doesnt work correctly for my users.

Some say they cant make a topic, i tested with a test account and it looks like with participant and moderator role i can make a topic but its gone after i refresh the page how is this possible?

here you soo that i made a topic

and now its gone.

how is this possible?

[fum]

1) In this site the blog is public, this is the only general forum and is private.
By the other hand at this times there are two groups and each one have an own forum.

2) Suscriber users that have the problem in general forum works fine in groups forums.

3) There is not public forum.

4) The public blog works fine, the groups and forum groups too.

I mention another issue that I not included at the beginning: One suscriber created for me to test roles, worked fine at begining, but in one time when I was go to login with his account I got an alert that this user was marked as Spam. It is registered with a mail account that I amost dont use for other thing.

Hi Robin, I did the two tests and the problem remains the same

[Robin W]

sorry, can you be clear, this is JUST using the search box on forum pages – yes ?

if so

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

Getting ready to roll out BB Press in the next 10 days. Have it installed in a dev environment and one thing that is escaping me are notifications. Do I need a plug in to enable notifications? How should notifications work out of the box? I’ve posted couple of test posts and haven’t received any alerts.
Please help
Thanks
Dan

ok, two wrong fixes, so I loaded it to my test site

This works for me

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_admin_details', 'rew_add_email') ;

function rew_add_email () {
	$email = get_post_meta ( bbp_get_reply_id () , '_bbp_anonymous_email', true ) ;
	if (!empty ($email))
		echo '<p>'.$email ;
}

[Robin W]

given this is a paid theme that claims to protect your site, it is really one to raise with them.

I don’t have their plugin to be able to test

[Robin W]

ok, try this, if this fails I will load it to my test site and get it right for you

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_admin_details', 'rew_add_email') ;

function rew_add_email () {
	$email = bbp_get_author_email (bbp_get_reply_id () ) ;
	if (!empty ($email))
		echo '<p>'.$email ;
}

[Robin W]

untested (as I’ve not got anonymous set on my test site, and I’m on another project) but this should work

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_admin_details', 'rew_add_email') ;

function rew_add_email () {
	$email = get_post_meta ( bbp_get_reply_id () , '_bbp_anonymous_email' ) ;
	if (!empty ($email))
		echo '<p>'.$email ;
}

Add this to your functions file.

This will put the email after the ip address on anonymous topics and replies for admins only

If it doesn’t work come back and I’ll do some testing

[dezrok]

I’ve discovered it is a conflict with the Membership2 plugin (I wasn’t clearing the cache on previous plugin tests).

I would be interested to hear if anyone has been able to get bbPress working with the Membership2 plugin without this problem as they are supposed to be integrated but I can’t find any settings that might be causing this problem.

[Clivesmith]

Hi,

I allow anybody to reply to a topic, but I ask for their name and Email address, all replied are moderated, when I look at the reply under replies I can see the name but not the Email. I am sure somewhere I put “(will not be published)” after the Mail (required) label: but I cannot remember where I did that.
I have the latest wordpress, bbpress, bbp toolkit, bbpress moderation and bbp style pack installed.
Can someone help where to find the Email given please, I have spent two days looking.

Clive
