issue is with the plugin Paid Memberships Pro – bbPress Add On v 1.5.4 with Plugin Paid Memberships Pro 1.9.4.2 prevent Plugin Google Photos Version 1.0.1 embed from working.

from @mattdmcleod

I rolled it back to the previous version (1.5.3) on the staging site and it worked. Made that change on the production site and it also seems OK.
The PMPro plugin was the one updated in December, but the current BBPress (v1.5.4) connector hasn’t been updated for 5 months (and last tested with WP 4.8.4). I guess the PMPro update affected the BBPress connector in some way? Or maybe it doesn’t like WP 4.9x? I’ll post in their support forum to let them know.

Hi Robin, thanks for your reply. I’m in Australia so our time differences may cause a delay in my responses.

Both old posts and new posts have stopped displaying images.

I’ve turned off Paid Membership Pro on this forum so you can get in and have a look. This is my production site.

This thread is an example with both posts and replies where the photos aren’t displaying.

I’ve unlocked the same forum on the staging site and created a new topic and reply from the dashboard. While the photos display in the dashboard visual editor, they don’t display in the user view.

So, just to confirm your questions, it appears photos are not displaying in either new or old posts or replies on production or staging (with standard WP theme).

Going back and looking at WordPress release dates (4.8 was mid-2017) makes me think this is not related. It was working fine well after that. Especially if you’ve just tested it and you’re displaying photos with <p> tags. I’m going back to a plugin conflict…

Cheers
Matt

just loaded that plugin to my test site, and with auto-embed on it works fine.

This

<p>https://photos.app.goo.gl/pOeSirvJb5oC7kFC2</p>

displays the embed just fine.

So all we now need to do is work out the difference between my test site and your staging site !!

When you’ve come back on the Q’s above, I’ll do some more digging.

[Robin W]

untested by this should work

//change topic order
add_filter('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args', 'rew_topic_order_by_meta');

function rew_topic_order_by_meta ($args) {
	$args['meta_key'] = 'put_meta_key_here' ;
	$args['orderby']    = 'meta_value' ;
	$args['order']     = 'DESC' ;  //or ASC if needed
	return $args ;
}

just put your meta_key where it says

[Robin W]

you can simply filter this in your theme’s function file.

not tested but

add_filter( 'bbp_number_format', 'rew_number_format', 10 , 5) ;

function rew_number_format ($number_format, $number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep) {
	$thousands_sep = '' ;
return apply_filters( 'rew_number_format', number_format( $number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep ), $number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep );
}

I really like what you’ve done. I’m struggling to make changes to several areas and it looks like you’ve managed to get it perfect!

Specifically the “latest post / freshness” changes on the forum index. I love how its formatted with picture on left, followed by forum and dates. Also the Replies: Views: changed on each section is really nice too 🙂

Any chance you would share the template changes, it would really help me achieve similar results and learn how you got there.

Cheers 🙂

ok, something is preventing 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

Hi
I have WordPress Multisite. I registered the test user. I logged in and changed my password. I added a test topic on the bbpress forum. Then I could not enter my profile to edit it. Wrote something – no access. In the administration panel wrote: Site Role – Participant, Forum Role – Participant. I changed Site Role to Subscriber. This solved the problem. In my opinion should automatically register the user as Subscriber.

For the last couple years, I’ve been using the bbP Live Preview plugin in conjunction with the bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin for the forums located at http://www.nationalbraille.org/forums

In the post editor, users can type, then highlight their text and apply a braille font using a button in the Visual Editor options. Then, hitting “Preview” would allow a post preview box to appear below the editor that showed how the post would look before submitting.

Not everyone has been successful using it, but it always worked great for me up until now. I can’t get the function to work for me anymore. I’ve checked Javascript in my test browsers and everything is enabled. Any thoughts on what could be causing this function to break?

[Robin W]

can only think that you have a conflict

I have tested all of this and email notifications are still not being sent.

All other plugins which send emails from the site are working. And, I check with my server support. All logs show email is work correctly from the site, What’s next to try?

[Robin W]

Just had a quick look in between other tasks, and totally untested, but this should work if it has no bugs

function dsk_remove_all_subscriptions ($user_id) {
	global $wpdb;
	//first remove forum subscriptions
	$forum=bbp_get_forum_post_type() ;
	$forum_ids=$wpdb->get_col("select ID from $wpdb->posts where post_type = '$forum'") ;
	foreach ($forum_ids as $forum_id) {
		bbp_remove_user_forum_subscription( $user_id, $forum_id ) ;	
	}
	//then remove topic subscriptions
	$topic=bbp_get_topic_post_type() ;
	$topic_ids=$wpdb->get_col("select ID from $wpdb->posts where post_type = '$topic'") ;
	foreach ($topic_ids as $topic_id) {
		bbp_remove_user_topic_subscription( $user_id, $topic_id );
	}
}

If you get it working, then please confirm or post back the final code.

If you need further help do come back and I’ll see if I can help further

[Robin W]

very strange…not sure I’m going to be much use – I think you into lots of try this/try that testing

Hope you figure it out, and if you do, please post the solution here – that will help others who google it as a question later !

[jryaus]

Quick update: Tested a bit more. I’ve renamed the file that it is mistakenly using several times but it doesn’t help, bbPress uses that same file no matter what. Could it be something in the file itself that telling bbPress to use it?

Sorry for the basic questions. I thought this would be relatively simple – just rename the template I wanted to use to bbpress.php and move it to the correct folder. Not sure what to do! Thanks for the help

Hi,

https://jwfsanctuary.club and the widget on the side to the latest forum posts is a good example, thanks for taking a look. Thanks so much.

[Perrorist]

I’m now wondering if this could be a cookie issue. Logging in as a test user has been tried by one user, who said it worked. He then logged out and back in as the test user, and it still worked. However, when he went back in as himself and logged out, then back in as the test user, the Edit button had gone.

[Perrorist]

I tried the permalink idea. No joy. This has me completely baffled. I’ll set up a test user for the users to log on to and ask if they can see the Visual Editor. If they can, I shall propose creating new accounts for them.

[Audiomonk]

Hi thanks for your reply, that’s a big undertaking for my site given the amount of plugins, and combinations of plugins that may be conflicting with bbpress. I tried another theme, that seemed to work a little better, so am guessing it could be a theme conflict with bbpress.

I was more after guidelines of things that could go wrong to look out for, am guessing it uses a tags with an id to jump to the relevant post?

I think I’ll wait until I get a staging setup done, so I can test things on a non live site.

[Robin W]

hmm, apart from the standard elimination tests below, I can’t think of anything obvious

Thanks, Robin. When I log in as him, I don’t see the Edit button on his post either.

You say it’s the server, but in what way could the server prevent that feature from working? It did work before and I have moved my account to a new hosting service. However, I can’t understand why it works for my test user account which is also on the same server.

ok, so you need to define it down to server or client

If you log in as test – it works – yes?
If so log in as him and see if that works.

If it does then it is his PC

If it doesn’t then it is server.

[Perrorist]

A user who has Editor role and is set to see the visual editor cannot see it. However, a test user I set up with identical settings can. The user claims to have seen it a few days ago. I’ve had him clear cache and reboot, but with no luck. Another user says she has the same problem.

Any idea where the problem might lie?

Hi,
Here are the ones that are tied to email/Buddypress/BBPress. I’m wondering–do new topic notifications work for approved topics on a clean BBPress install? I don’t think I can disable many plugins on this site since it’s getting a lot of traffic, but I could probably test it out on a different live site. I think it would have to be a live site or at least have an SMTP provider set up for the notification emails to go out.

Plugins
1. Buddypress

2. AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions (added because the default method of BCC’ing all subscribers created too many recipients for our SMTP provider)

3. bbP Toolkit

4. BP Profile Search

5. BBPress Moderation Tools (allows us to put all new topics into moderation, seems to use default BBPress actions for moderation)

6. Fix Forum Emails (fixes issue where HTML tags/entities show up in notification emails: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2865)

7. WordPress Mail Queue (queues/chunks all mail from wp_mail so we don’t go over SMTP provider limits)

8. Wordfence Security

Someone can send me the last tapatalk plugin to test it on my forum?

Since it is not supported I cannot find it on the web.
