I recently installed bbpress and AWPCP Classifieds. Whenever a user clicks the edit button to edit their post, it takes them to a page that asks for the Ad email and access key. This page is default with AWPCP and is called -Edit Ad. Inside that page is the shortcode [AWPCPEDITAD]. I disabled the AWPCP plugin to test and the result was when a user clicked the edit button, it then just shows the shortcode text from the -Edit Ad page. I am little more than a beginner when it comes to web development. I have built a few websites but they are all basic and mostly wordpress sites. This is the site address if you would like to look at it. https://meltdowncnc.com/wordpress2/

The site is for testing. Hopefully once it is done, I can put it into service for my club. Thanks if anyone can help.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Hello,

I am trying to follow the step-by-step instructions, and I am still having trouble displaying the main forum page. I am trying to use method 1. I checked and verified the settings.

I added some test forums and topics, and I can see them in the backend.
Forum Root = Forums
Permalink structure is set to POSTNAME
Category | Tag base left blank (default)

I created a page called Forums and nothing displayed.
I tried adding the shortcode and still nothing appears.

I am referring to: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#3-%c2%a0creating-a-forum-page

Page Links: https://bkswathq.com/forums
Wordpress : 6.3.2
bbp Version 2.6.9

Thanks in advance.
Fills silly to be stuck so early on in the process.

[Robin W]

I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.

The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.

My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.

bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.

I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.3 and php 8.1 with no issues.

The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.

However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this

bbp style pack

as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.

All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.

The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.

But with open software you make your choices….

[norcom41]

I suppose add_filter(‘mod_’,’upd_($role,$caps)’) should have this for arguments even though they’re for the return values. bbp_get_participant_role probably provides the elements for all the capabilities, but if only some are modified in the array, the others could be lost during the return if not also repeated. In my test the init statements are displayed on the screen as if they are errors. Then when the user choses a subforum it prompts for a login to add a topic. This opens up another area to suppress that request itself. That’s why programmers get plugins because you have to be an expert to know how to do all this. If you want to know the basics you have to go back to school.

I need help fixing this issue with my forum the staging site works fine! The production site does not, I have talked to wordpress support and they couldn’t figure it out either. Everything is the same… How do I fix this issue. Everytime I post to the forum I have to clear cache and cookies to see it. but it works just fine on test site? SOMEBODY HELP! Thank you, here is my sites:

Awesome, i was able to test it to run every hour and check for posts older than 1 days and it works.

Thank you so much @robin-w

[Robin W]

sorry, I’m just a free volunteer, I generally don’t have the time to look at individual problems, and this seems to be specific to your site.

I am suspicious that it might be caching software – can you confirm that neither your site or hoster use this, or if they do as a test disable.

I would also try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help

Then I would do the following

I did set it up correctly, you wish i can give you a admin access to the site, it is only a test site because i have the same Problem on my Main page. I thought it was due to customizing but seems to be another issue.

Ok, so beloaw is the most recent response from Cloudways. Can anyone from bbPress possibly provide the info requested so we can properly exclude this from Redis? Thanks!

————————-
These specific errors typically occur due to the buddy boss caching group conflicting with the Redis keys.
It is usually essential to exclude some of the cache groups/plugins to ensure that there are no conflicts due to different ways of handling of cache key which can cause issues with transients.

If any conflicts are observed, the best way to do this is to exclude them as instructed in the guide below:-

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/understanding-ignored-groups-and-how-to-best-apply/

https://objectcache.pro/docs/ignoring-groups

This typically requires a bit of testing due to different caching statuses which can still be utilized to ensure the proper allocation of resources.

We have already implemented a documented fix that was typically applied by Buddy Boss:-
https://github.com/buddyboss/buddyboss-platform/issues/1715

However, despite numerous methods, the issue remains. Due to the circumstance of this issue, it’s imperative to check in with the plugin team before excluding their groups further, they can typically provide proper cache groups which can ensure perfect performance as other caching groups involving BuddyBoss typically was not documented and could have a negative performance impact if excluded without proper evaluation.

Significant Problem:

Every few days, some Sub-Forums stop displaying!  This seems to happen after a new topic is added.  I’m not sure when this problem started.  Currently, the “HIKING” sub-forums do not display.  Sometimes I can get this issue to reset by changing the Sub-Forums Visibility setting to “Public” and then back to “Private”.  I clear browser histories and resave Permalinks.  But this is a temporary solution.  With my limited knowledge, I’ve spent many many hours trying to pinpoint the cause and resolve this.  I now set up a test copy site, that is using the WP 2022 theme with only 2 plugins: a page builder and bbPress.  And there are no bbPress scripts in the Function.php file.  The problem still persists.  Any assistance would be very greatly appreciated!  Testing site: https://staging39.wilmingtontrailclub.org/bbpress-forum-test/

Hi,
Thank you so much,
I am testing the forum, I filled the login and I found it’s not enough,
Because I want the users who must to fill register( with a E mail to confirm),
after having registered, it will be redirect to the profile page, so the users will fill the profile,
after that, he could use the forum,
So how can I do ? the bbpress login is too simple and cannot do that.
Thanks a lot !

[Robin W]

thanks

search should just look at the forums, but other elements such as themes or other plugins can change that.

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back

the appearance>widgets that you showed are not widgets but sidebars that contain widgets – there is no bbpress sidebar.

[dianedeboer]

I can’t say. I noticed that the default lay-out is used for this page. I used to have a custom made lay-out which is developed by a specialist. He placed the codes for this in a child theme and everything worked just fine. But for a few weeks now, this lay-out is gone. The child theme is still active.
So I guess this is the problem.

While I do want to re-use the custom lay-out it is more important that when looking at the forum page without login people see only the latest activity.

So how can I make this happen?

[ibnat]

All topics have this link at the bottom and it is also visible when logged out of the forum.

Here is an example: https://iberianatureforum.com/forums/topic/testing-you-tube-embed/

Hi, when using the widget Recent Topics or Recent Activity nothing shows on my Forum page.

I don’t know why, because in the past this page always showed this information.It should show latest activity of the different topics. Should I use shortcodes?

[kreartmedia]

Hi ! I have the exact same bug.

I did the same tests, disable plugins and change theme and it’s still not working.

The last log error I have is this : [proxy_fcgi:error [pid 14982:tid 140197144532736 [client 207.253.115.34:0 AH01071: Got error ‘SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ” at lin…………bbp_locate_template, load_template, require(‘/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-topics.php’), bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require(‘/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php’), bbp…’

[Robin W]

It does make sense that it would be related to a recent update…but if the problem persists when everything is disabled and I’m using a default WordPress theme, then how could something else still be affecting it?

There is always a reason, computers don’t start doing things differently for no reason, the problem is tracking that down 🙂 🙂

If this was a bbpress issue then 1. given no update in bbpress there is no change to affect your site so no reason for it to start happening and 2. this support forum would have hundreds of topics on the subject posted in the last few days.

My test forum continues to work fine.

so if not plugin update or theme change then a setting could be affecting.

so I’d suggest you switch debug on and see if that is showing any issues

https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-enable-debugging-in-wordpress/

after that we’re onto software higher up.

so what PHP version are you running?

suspect something your theme is doing, as works fine on my test site.

try

.bbp-topic-form, .bbp-reply-form, .bbp-topic-tag-form {
	width: 80% !important;
}

or

.bbp-topic-form, .bbp-reply-form, .bbp-topic-tag-form {
	width: 300px !important;
}

and play with the 80% or 300px – you can’t have both rules – they are just different ways of changing width.

Hello

When I post a link to a You tube video in a forum post there is no embedding. Instead there is a link to the video over at Youtube.

In forum settings I have the box ticked to embed.

An example is here: https://iberianatureforum.com/forums/topic/promo-video-for-25th-anniversary-of-cabaneros-national-park/

Thanks in advance for any help
