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,

It seems I could not link properly to the images.

Let I describe the issue.

I have checked SMTP and WordPress email address.
Although both are GMAIL addresses, the WP SMTP plugin accepts it.
That’s why, I guess, I could send the test mail from the contact form.
I confirmed, these test emails from contact form are coming via the domain which I have created for SMTP plugin.
After registration of dummy account, I receive the message stating verification mail send.
However, no such registration/activation mail gets received for dummy account.
After registration I receive message stating verification mail send.
The dummy account gets listed on the WordPress backend user list.
The check email plugin sends the test mail to the Gmail address in general settings of the WordPress.
However, it fails to send the test mail to another Gmail address.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks in advance,

Suraj

never seen that before, and like you all I can find on a google is reference to Mojo Marketplace

I have just created a forum for my site but when testing new registrations receive an error: “suspected bot”.

I’ve enabled “anyone can register” and I’ve also searched online but the only answer I can find is to disable Mojo Marketplace plugin. I currently don’t have this installed.

I’ve also tried disabling every plugin and trying again but receive the same error.

It wasn’t until I started googling this that I notice it is a recurring issue with bbpress sites using smtp, and hasn’t got a definitive answer.

As far as I can see two things seem to help.

1. amending the from address
2. not sending bulk emails

this plugin seems to address these two issues

Can you try it and report back

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

also there is a code snippet that lets you change the from address that smtp may well need -I don’t think it is needed as the plugin does this I hope (I haven’t tested the plugin), but quoted just in case 🙂

However, something causes that in the forum post notifications the “From” is set back to the default <noreply@domain.com>, although it is set to different/custom address by the WP Mail SMTP plugin. My web hosting service blocks the PHP mails sent from unknown addresses, so that’s the reason why the e-mails are not delivered.

/*BBPress email fix*/
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'email_sent_from_name' );
function email_sent_from_name( $name )
{
    return 'SITE NAME';
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'email_sent_from' );
function email_sent_from( $email )
{
    return 'email@example.com';
}

I’ve now set up a quick test site for 2.65c5 to validate

I can confirm that

<?php echo do_shortcode("[bbp-forum-index]"); ?>

doesn’t work but the shortcode on a page on it’s own does.

However your issue with profiles is a theme/bbpress one, it all works on my test site.

Can you try adding this to your themes css

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics {
	overflow: visible !important;
	}

that seemed to fix it for your site, but I haven’t checked that it doesn’t create issues elsewhere !

Apologies for the late reply, there hasn’t been many requests to update the Vanilla importer, what I’ve done with most importers is when asked I’ll update it to the latest, in this case I’d checkout what the latest 2.x version is and add any updates as needed, for the most part there is usually not many changes as major database changes typically only occur in “major” releases, so if Vanilla 3.x is out, there would be a high change some SQL changes would be in that release.

Grab the latest bbPress RC-5 zip from the downloads page https://bbpress.org/download

The “Specified key was too long” error you mentioned has been fixed in this release along with loads of importer improvements.

[TechHaus]

Good call! And guess what, it works if I use the shortcode on a page via the wordpress backend.

bbpress Shortcode test

[Robin W]

Sorry, but I support live versions, so I’m reluctant to load RC code to my test site, so I’ll keep asking you to do stuff if that’s ok !

Can you create a page and put the shortcode in there – I want to test if that makes a difference over using code to call it.

[TechHaus]

Yes, correct! OMG, i recorded this…

I just hit save there with the shortcode on 2.5.14

At 20:05 if the video doesn’t load at the right time. Thanks again! You made me remember that I actually documented this so I don’t have to fire up a new wordpress instance to retest. I recorded every thing I’ve done so far on this bbpress installation.

[TechHaus]

Test reply:

I’m getting

ERROR: Your reply cannot be created at this time.

to this thread.

[Robin W]

so test results

2.6 on twenty fifteen – works
2.5.14 on twenty fifteen – works

2.6 on your theme – doesn’t work
2.5.14 on your theme – works

Above all correct ?

[Robin W]

your theme (or maybe other plugin) is only loading bbpress.css on what it thinks are bbpress pages, and it is not treating the front page and profile as bbpress.

I don’t think bbpress 2.6 is doing that, but a quick flip to twentyfifteen would confirm, although I think you are saying you have already tested that above?

Do you have a plugin that is trying to minimise css loading or is your theme being too clever ?

[Stephen Edgar]

I’d still prefer to see the database schema, not data that’s already been parsed.

From what I can see you’ve got various issues with that WXR data:

• <wp:post_type><![CDATA[topic]]></wp:post_type> <- topic shouldn’t be wrapped in ![CDATA[ / ]], I’m not sure if that or any other instances apart from content will be affected by this.

• _wp_page_template shouldn’t be included, if the post_type was page, then yes, but topic post type shouldn’t have a _wp_page_template meta key, again, I’ve no idea what the resultant behaviour of this would be, maybe ok, maybe not.

• You have the following, which is correct: 1327 is the “forum ID”

`
<wp:postmeta>
<wp:meta_key><![CDATA[_bbp_forum_id]]></wp:meta_key>
<wp:meta_value><![CDATA[1327]]></wp:meta_value>
</wp:postmeta>
`

• Just above the above, you have the following which is *not* correct, post_parent is *not* “post meta”, this should be in the wp_posts table and *not wp_postmeta

`
<wp:postmeta>
<wp:meta_key><![CDATA[post_parent]]></wp:meta_key>
<wp:meta_value><![CDATA[1327]]></wp:meta_value>
</wp:postmeta>
`

• Closer to the top of your code you have <wp:post_parent>0</wp:post_parent>, this is where the post_parent should include that 1327 forum id.

I suspect if you can get 1327 into that last item above you’ll be all set, or at least progressed somewhat, I’m pretty sure the repair tools will be able to recalculate the topic meta once that is in, so that’s another option to repair any meta issues.

This might be a handy reference https://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description

Also checkout https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2516, the file attached to that ticket is a pretty comprehensive WXR XML file of forum, topics, and replies layed out per the description in that ticket, it might be worth importing into a test site to help visualise the data when looking at the source of the XML file 🙂

Bumping this. I have the same problem. I am using the latest activity version of the main forums page.
Once a user opens a forum, he or she is allowed to create a new topic.
Screen shot

[pjbarry21]

Does not autopopulate/work in forum discussions using the visual editor, although cutting and pasting or typing handles changes them into links upon saving — most of the time. Sometimes we have to go back in and edit/remove spaces around the entry for it to show up.

To try to get a little more functionality on a test site, I’ve added code from here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mentions-not-becoming-links-some-times/ — but this only works in the text editor and not in the visual editor.

It does autopopulate in activity feeds and does work in resources (bpdocs).

Hi,

Been looking through here for quite a while, am wanting to change the styling of the edit post screen. Currently it’s got a red background *urk* and looks bad. It’s probably inherited from my main theme I don’t know.

Can someone point me where the styling for the post edit screen is. I tried using an editor but it only shows styles that seem to be for main posts.

Looks interesting, but this one’s too is not updated since 2 years…folks normally won’t install a plugin which are not timely updated and the untested version…

[Pascal Casier]

You refer to ‘community’, so if you are using BuddyPress, then you better ask in https://buddypress.org/support/

If you really refer to bbPress forums, then I have some good news: In the upcoming v2.6 you can define moderators per forum. The release candidate (already very stable) of that version is available on https://bbpress.org/download/ if you want to already test it.

[andrew55]

Robin – Thank you very much.

I have topic icon created in test forum (it’s in 2nd forum):

homepage

I’ve tried and tried, but I can’t figure out how to style the font awesome font.

I need to get it moved down, and I need to get the title and description of forum moved to the right a bit.

Anyone have a suggestion for how to accomplish this? Or, is there maybe a better way to use Font Awesome fonts as topic icons (template edit, function, etc)?

[Robin W]

the quick and dirty solution is to get the topic IP before executing bbp_insert_reply and reset it afterwards

eg (untested)

$reply_data = array('post_parent'=>$post_parent, 'post_content' => $post_content);
$reply_meta = array('forum_id'=>$post_forum_id, 'topic_id' => $post_topic_id);
//get the topic IP so we can reset it later
$ip = get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_author_ip', false );
bbp_insert_reply($reply_data,$reply_meta);
//reset the topic IP
update_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_author_ip', $ip, false );

I could spend a long time working out a more elegant fix, but hopefully the above will be enough !

[Robin W]

I am fairly sure that this is a theme issue.

As a test switch to the theme twentyseventeen and see if the issue goes away.
