How do I get the date of when the topic was first created or get the date of the very first post in that topic because all I keep seeing are ways to display the date for the latest post which I don’t want. Any help is greatly appreciated! 😀
In essence the core issue is that ‘with bbpress’ the ‘feed’ is showing the whole article, whereas without it is showing the excerpt which is what you want- is that correct?
Since bbpress has rss and a site does not need to have mailchimp to run rss, I presume that you could test if you have an issue without mailchimp, which would help eliminate (or otherwise) your theme and/or other plugins as contributing to the issue, but as I said earlier I’m not a mailchimp guy, so I may be talking crap.
Given that bbpress has over 300,000 active installations, and mailchimp 900,000 – I kinda presuming that if this was a common issue that it would be known about, as others would be running this combination.
I am trying to help you 🙂
Hi @robin-w – please can you explain how to run that test?
Hi everyone,
My forum is almost setup but I found one little issue which I don’t want to keep.I have tested as a participant that while linking any text,all core pages appear in the list.
For better understanding please take a look – http://prntscr.com/gk7oc2
My forum – http://ask.trackmypacks.com/
I don’t want to show these pages to any participant.Can anyone help me how to figure out this..
just made an update to the latest 2.5.14 version, problem seems to be solved, thanks again 😉
I just got notice when I went to the backend of my wordpress site that there was an update. It was a bbpress update, so I clicked to install it and it broke my website. I can’t get to the plugins page or anything to uninstall the update. Please help! Even the front end of my website is down. http://mariealline.com.
It looked like it installed correctly, but I get a HTTP ERROR 500 when I try to access my homepage or any other page on the website.
“Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.5.14.zip…
Unpacking the update…
Installing the latest version…
Removing the old version of the plugin…
Plugin updated successfully.”
Thank you,
mariealline
I created several topics in the past months. None of them were acknowledged. So I’ll try here since this seems to an active thread.
#1. I appreciate the addition of per-forum moderators. I installed the latest RC, but could someone explain how this works – when a mod is assigned to a specific forum, does that person receive notifications, and if so, what are then notified about?
#2. Is it possible in any version of bbpress to batch subscribe WP users to specific forums?
Also, is there any documentation regarding the new features? I’m especially interested in anything moderator-related.
Thanks.
probably theme issue.
try AS A TEST a default theme such as twenty seventeen, and see if the problem goes away
just did a test, and yes I can’t work out how you contribute without having some privileges.
Hopefully one of the above will come back to you !
@sovvyg Please delete and reinstall the latest version of bbPress plugin. Also please clear the autoptimize cache that you are using on your site.
This can be your theme issue so to confirm it just temporary use the default WordPress theme like Twenty Seventeen on your site. If everything works fine then it’s your theme issue.
@fdarn Are you using this [bbp-forum-index] shortcode?
I have tested it on my test site using bbPress version 2.6-rc-3 and it is working fine for me.
I tested creating new user but still couldn’t reproduce the issue.
Let’s see what admin says in your trac ticket.
Hi Vinod,
thanks for getting back to me, unfortunately that has already been selected so is not the issue.. i have done a plugin conflict test and nothing changes. i’m stuck 🙁
Best
Lauren
It is also working fine on chrome browser. I don’t have safari browser to test it.
Could you please test it disabling all safari browser extensions or test it on another computer?
My website, BathindaHelper.com has only test forums/topics as of now.
I have tested it with WP 4.8.1, no other plugins than bbPress, Twenty Seventeen Theme but it is working fine for me without any issue.
Please note i am using single site installation and not multisite.
Thanks for the response. Sure, the i have both bbpress and buddypress plugin. My bbpress version is 2.5.13. Under my settings, I click on buddypress, buddypress has three tabs, one is components, pages, and options. So i click on pages, under pages, there’re directories and registration, under register, i choose “forum register” page cause that’s a page i created for that, shortcode i entered is [bbp-register], i click view, it brings me right back to homepage. However, all of these happening in browser safari. When i use google chrome and firefox, they both show up correctly. Here’s the URL:
Forum Register
And no i haven’t tested this out by deactivating any of my plugins yet. let me know what u think thanks.
Thanks for your response. The upcoming version 2.6 seems to solve the issue. I’ve tested it with 2.5.13 yet. Today I’ve tried 2.6-rc-3 and the 404 error is gone.
My testing environment is WP 4.8.1, no other plugins than bbPress, Twenty Seventeen Theme.
I’ve added the following lines to the Theme’s functions.php tp figure it out:
add_filter( '404_template', function() {
global $wp_query;
print_r( $wp_query );
die();
} );
In bbPress 2.5.13 the 404_template filter fires and is_404 is true. In 2.6-rc-3 the filter does not fire.
Would you please do me favor and also check it with 2.5.13 just to be sure?
Thanks,
Peter
I have tested it on my test site using bbPress Version 2.6-rc-3 but i couldn’t reproduce the issue.
The 404_template filter doesn’t get fired for me and is_404 function also returns false as shown here https://imgur.com/a/xmfiM
Could you please describe a bit more in detail how to reproduce it?
I can’t confirm the issue on my test site using bbPress Version 2.6-rc-3
Could you please share the screenshot of the issue or describe a bit more in detail how to reproduce it?
I have tested it on my test site and it’s working fine for me using latest version of bbPress plugin.
Please make sure you are using latest version of bbPress plugin.
This can be your theme issue on your site so to confirm it just temporary use any default WordPress theme like Twenty Seventeen theme. If everything works fine then it’s your theme issue.
Also this can be due to plugin conflict on your site so please try temporary deactivating all plugins except Unyson plugin and see whether everything works fine and then enable the plugins one by one to see which plugin is conflicting if any.
Could you please share me your site URL where it’s happening so that i can troubleshoot it?
I’ve just started my forum on WP. And made two forums with 1 or 2 topics/posts.
When I tried to search any word (which I know is there in the topics/forums) in ‘Forums Search’ widget, what I get is my latest WP blog post. Doesn’t matter whether that blog post has that ‘searched word’ in it or not.
Can anybody tell what’s going on here?
P.S. My wordpress search is going as it should.
I’m having the exact same difficulty. Can anyone help?
Whatever I search for any word in ‘Search Forums’ widget, all I get is my latest blog post, doesn’t matter that blog post has got the ‘searched word’ or not.
@teamoo were you able to find the cure?
@rokk , @robinw anyone?
Folks – I realize this post is a now a few years old, but I’m embarking on doing “exactly” what @wp_maybe outlined in his original post “I am trying to implement a search box inside a Buddypress group that searches on the contents of the Group Forum.”
I’ve looked through all the code-modifications, suggestions by @tobyhawkins + links (on sevenspark.com above…) – so I’m now just putting things in place to build the search within individual BuddyPress Group Forums (for Public, Private & Hidden BP Groups).
Q: Was there a final, complete consensus of “exactly” what’s req’d to accomplish this? I’m only asking b/c I don’t what to re-invent the wheel via a slew of testing w/ the various code-bits above.
Any input or insights would be swell, -Jeff
