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

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

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

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

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

Forum
– v2 LATEST POST (1 yr, 10 months)
– cat 1 (1 yr, 10 months)
– cat 2 (no topics)
– cat 3 (1 week, 3 days)
– etc

Why is 1 yr, 10 months being displayed out on the main screen instead of the 1 week, 3 day post? We ran the latest activity repair.

You can see it at http://www.bfsucommunity.com/ under Volume Two.

Thanks!

Hi there, I’m hoping someone might be able to give me some advice on a fix for the following:

bbPress is working fine for Administrators, however, users with any other Site Role can’t read the Topics (even if they are a Forum Moderator or Keymaster).

For non-Administrators, the Topics index works fine and when you select a Topic you can read any Replies that have been made, as well as having the ability to post a reply (as long as your Forum Role is sufficient), all that is missing is the original Topic itself.

If a previous reply has quoted the Topic, then you can read the quoted topic within the reply.
The Topic exists, the original just isn’t visible to non-Administrators.

I’ve deactivated all plugins and the problem persists.
I’ve tried it with the theme Twenty Twelve and the problem persists.

Changing the Forum Role doesn’t affect the problem.
Only users with the Site Role “Administrator” can read Topics.
Obviously I can’t make everyone an Administrator and have run out of ideas on how to go about fixing this.

Wordpress 4.9.4; bbPress 2.5.14
Forum Link: https://www.getleanfiji.com/forums/general/

NB: The forums are part of a private membership site that is still under development. I have made one of the forums (which contains some test Topics and Replies) publicly accessible via the above link. Access to the site is controlled using Membership 2 and the Groups plugins, although these don’t appear to affect the problem.

[buttercup17]

Hi All,

I had a website with multiple groups and forums, public, private and hidden.

The hidden group is for invited members only to share sensitive information using the group’s hidden forum.

I need the ability for people within this hidden group/forum to be able to search its contents.
1. I made a test post in the hidden group’s forum.
2. I logged in as anstrong>a admin/member of the hidden group
3. I used the “Search Forums” box and searched for the test post
4. Test post was found. Excellent
5. I then logged in as a non-member of the hidden group. This member cannot even see the hidden group in the listings.
6. I used the “Searched Forums” box like before and searched for this test post
AND IT APPEARED! So now a non-member can find sensitive information via the search forum box.

What have I done or do I need to do, to make the contents of the Hidden Group/Forum only searchable to members?

Side Note: Ideally I would like a search box within the Hidden Group/Forum as going back to the forums page to use the Search Forums box is tedious.

Please help 🙁

[sasenzon]

This was solved (I hope). It turns out that I had checked in the main settings under forums to give each group a forum. Then I had selected the forum option when creating a group. I think this caused a conflict.
I also set the drop down to root. I hope that makes it work. I tested it as the users and it seems fine.

I want to add a taxonomy (which I’ve already created) to replies which are in all forums except one. I’m struggling to find the exact functions that I need to use for this though, e.g. to check the forum name (I don’t want to rely on the forum ID in case that is changed in a reinstall) and to set the taxonomy. I can’t find a list of all functions in the documentation.

I’m going to be creating a child theme and I’m pretty sure that it’s bbp_insert_reply() that I need to modify. I’ve found that ok. But it’s what functions to call to do the simple test and set that I want to do that I’m struggling with, even searching the function files of other parts of bbPress. So it seems like a simple case of testing the forum name and then setting the taxonomy if the test passes, but I am unsure of the two functions to use.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? Thanks in advance.

[Robin W]

definitely not what I get.

I’m tied up on a project at the moment which requires me not to have threading on my test site, so it could be a few days before I look further.

However contact me via my website and when I get a chance I’ll take a quick look at your site

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[Robin W]

ok, so if you say the forum is public, but hidden in buddypress, then we are on basic fault finding.

so as a test

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.

I’d start with buddypress. You are just deactivating as a test.

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

[florianm]

For our restricted members bbPress forum, I would like to display a user’s BadgeOS points below their username next to their posts/replies. I already found some code to display these points but I am not sure if it’s correct and how to make it show below the username.

function badgeos_get_users_points( $user_id = 0 ) {
// Use current user’s ID if none specified
if ( ! $user_id )
$user_id = wp_get_current_user()->ID;
// Return our user’s points as an integer (sanely falls back to 0 if empty)
return absint( get_user_meta( $user_id, ‘_badgeos_points’, true ) );
}

Any help would be much appreciated!

FYI: we also use the latest versions of BuddyPress and the Boss theme.

[jimblais]

Update: this latest posts’ scripts seems to be working

[Robin W]

I’d suggest that something else is disrupting the setting

It could be a theme or plugin issue
