I found a bug with bbPress RC3 and BuddyPress. Tested with a fresh install using WordPress 4.8, and with only bbPress 2.6 RC3 and BuddyPress 2.8.2 activated. On the activity page the drop down box has duplicates. I’m running PHP 7.0.

Just lost and regained forums on one of my sites. Host support wrote:

We had upgraded php to 7.1 earlier this week. It appears that BBPress may not currently be compatible with the latest PHP. We have rolled back to PHP 5.6 and the forums are working again. However, to make sure that all sites are working on the suggested standards set by the WordPress core team, we will be upgrading all instances to PHP 7.1 within the next two months. It is possible that BBPress may make updates improving the compatibility in that time, but it is never a bad idea to be proactive on that front.

So what’s the deal with BBPRess PHP version compatibility please?

Hello,

I’m trying to make a link to a latest topic in forum page. I achieved topic name by bbp_forum_last_topic_title function, but can’t figure out how to get a link for latest topic.

I’ve tried to pull out something like this, but it links to forum index.
<p><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php bbp_forum_last_topic_title(); ?></a></p>

I am not sure if it’s already reported or I have missed something.

BTW, Thank you for all of your work. I am so excited to use 2.6!
Can you please tell me when it should be released? maybe in a week?

Cheers!!

Result

But now its look like: Now

I have add the bbpress.css to my theme and have chance some thinks (you can see, I have delete the counts, etc.). But I must add the big profile image (now I have only a very small picture who pixelated when I chance the size). Additionally I want to add the date and the time when the post are written and the first line of the content.
–> I think for this i must edit the template files.

Have you any idea which template file i must edit (I have tested some but without any result)?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I have created a plugin for adding polls into bbPress topics (front end editing from the topic form):

If you want to test plugin (admin side and front end), you can request demo here:

Using latest BBpress, Buddypress and WP, and tested on a fresh install with WP default theme.

When viewing a member profile at http://localhost/mysitename/members/testuser/forums/replies/ there is no ‘in reply to:’ and link to the topic in the header of each reply. Just the date.

I thought perhaps it was theme related (I was using a child theme of the ‘Make’ theme) so have tested on fresh everthing, and it’s still happening.

I’ve created a new topic from the front end and the back end to see if that was related. I’ve used the forum tools to recalculate everything, I’ve ‘reset’ all forums and started again, still not there.

Can anyone else recreate this? Any suggestions? Am I misunderstanding something? Thanks

bbpress 2.6rc3
Importing vbulletin forum and running “Recalculate the position of each reply” give me a blank screen and this message in php.log

Wow am I so brain dead that I created that users end point on my own branch of your version 1.0.2 and don’t even remember? (just read previous posts and yes, apparently I did!) All I’m getting from that service is name and avatar, but that was because those were not in the latest topics or replies. If both of those had author name and avatar, I might have no need for a users endpoint unless one wanted to list posts or replies by user.

I’m very close to releasing a read-only version of my app. A day or two likely.

I just joined the WP slack but that’s way too busy and focused on wp core. I think a separate channel for bbPress or the api would be good.

You may want to try the latest 2.6 release candidate instead.

I’ve been successfully running BP and the forum plugin for several years now.
I did not add any new plugins but of course have been installing updates as they come up.
Sometime in the past month I lost the ability to create a new topic on my forum. The forums are not super busy but I post a monthly contest thread so I know it worked fine a month ago.

No error is generated, the page just reloads. I’ve tried clearing my browser cache in Chrome. I tried using Edge. I went to an entirely different computer from which I’ve never access the site and tried from there using IE. Same result.

I’ve switched to default theme 2015 and I am able to post but I can’t go back and edit or update the post. I also can not reply to the post using the 2015 theme. I am attempting to contact the theme creator for support but there is still some issue with the default theme so I’m asking here too.

Another user was able to post a reply finally but I can’t edit my original post. This seems to affect users at random off and on and then resolves itself but I have no idea what is happening.

Is there some place I can see what plugins were last updated so I can try disabling them?

I’m on my own domain, multi site install.
Apache Version 2.2.31
PHP Version 5.4.45
MySQL Version 10.1.22-MariaDB-cll-lve
bbPress 2.5.12-6148
Wordpress 4.8

Ok @mapofemergence it took me a bit to figure out how to fork on github (I use bitbucket normally). Here’s my fork which currently contains the addition of user name, user avatar, and forum name in the topics end point. This results in a huge speed increase over having to hit the forum api and user api while looping through the topics. So I’ve reduced the api calls from 20 down to 1 for a feed of the 10 latest topics!

This problem suddenly arose recently. Eventually tracked it down to the PHP version I was using. I had php 7.1.3 was was designated as ‘Leading (edge)’. Went back to 5.6.30 which was designated as ‘Stable’ and all is well on 3 sites.

May be coincidence but it occurred only after the latest WordPress reelase.

Hello all,
For some reason, the posting form is not visible on internet explorer.
I am using the current version of wordpress and bbpress
http://www.iron-bru.co.uk
You will need a log on to test this (user is [redacted] and password [redacted])

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

[mth75]

The Fav/Sub issues are resolved, except for the Buddypress Groups with forum. In the meantime I migrated to the production server: http://www.starry-night.nl/latest-topics/ so far so good.

[mth75]

@johnjamesjacoby

Well, i’ve got RC1 running is my test environment. I only have some small and minor issues to iron out.

I noticed that the Favourite/Subscribe separator doesn’t show (and both words are not seperated at all) until one of the 2 options is clicked.

when one of the 2 is clicked, both buttons are shown correctly

A somewhat more important issue:

the link to the forum in the topic(s) views:

Furthermore (and reported with the last beta), the favorite/subscribe options won’t work at all in a group (buddy press) topic.

However, the release seems solid 🙂

[Robin W]

suspect your membership software is the issue

@tkserver, @casiepa glad to read you’re keeping up with the good work.

I’m a bit swamped in these days, wrapping up my experience overseas and having to move back to the old continent next week.
I’ll have a better look at the latest additions in Pascal’s repo and its fork by @tkserver.

I’m looking forward to see how that all evolves and I’ll be more than happy to contribute, as soon as I’ll have some time.
I’d just love to find some space to discuss about the design aspects of the API too, before diving too much into writing code and risk to bump into limitations late in the process.

I keep reading you with great interest.
Cheers,

I am looking for a shortcode or code (so I can make my own shortcode) to add the latest x topics from a specific forum. Like the recent topic widgets does. But in this case I can’t use the widget – so I am looking for a code to get the output of that widget somewhere in the text. I hope that is possible. I looked at the shortcodes on the website, but none of them is useful in my case.
It needs to say show x recent topics of forum with ID=… and then only give the titles with link

[scrawny]

Forum Size out of whack. How do I make forum list and forums themselves width of page? Latest wordpress, php7.0.19, twenty sixteen theme.

I’ve started coding an angular/mobile bbPress app. I’ve already got a “latest topics” feed working in the app via the API by @mapofemergence and it works great. I just ran into the first hurdle, which is that WP’s API does not allow access to user info. A custom API to get the user’s name and avatar etc would be needed.

@casiepa I will check yours out as well.

[TKServer]

I’ve already got the “latest posts” feed working with post titles and dates. One catch is that I can’t get the author’s name because the WP API won’t allow it, presumably to prevent name harvesting. So I may have to make a custom API for that.

[TKServer]

I’m starting development of my bbPress mobile app. I have noticed that buddyPress has an RSS feed for latest member activity, which also has bbPress posts. One could utilize that, but it is very limited and shows multiple duplicates of the same post if a user edits.

[Alex Stine]

Hello @robin-w,

I’m not using a default bbPress function to hide the topics. I’m using a custom plugin to handle the hiding of topics so members who are participants have a choice if they want the topic to be public to all members or private to moderators and keymasters. As you can see with the code above, that excludes the custom private topics from search results. Now what I need to do is update the pagination counts.

For example, there’s a topic named “Testing” and another topic named “test123”. Pagination will show 2 topics. If “testing” is now marked private, pagination will show 2 topics. I need to figure out a way to update the pagination so it only shows 1 topic since that’s all is showing to participants. However if a moderator comes along with the required permission to view a private topic, the pagination should still show 2 topics since the moderator has permission to see the private topic.

I hope this helps explain my goal.

Thanks.
