Problem: the private forum entry header / title is displaying this content instead of the title:

<span class=”screen-reader-text”>Private article:</span>Title‘

I use the Members plugin for content restriction. Roles are set up for access to some forums but not others. e.g. beginners should not see instructor forum content or topics.

This works with pages and posts, but forums and topics are displayed even when content is restricted for a given user level or role.

With that not working, I then made the forum private. Now, the forum still displays in the forum list even when content is restricted for a given user level but now shows 0 topics. On displaying private forum posts, the same html span tag precedes the title.

This is happening whether users have access to restricted content or not. Although content is finally restricted correctly at the topic level.

I’ve had that trac page bookmarked for over a year, so happy to see it’s almost done. 😀 Congrats to the team for all the hard work, looking forward to testing this out.

ok think you need to do some testing.

suggest you start by seeing if the issue only occurs with bbpress login widget, or with a standard worpdress login – they are effectively the same as bbpress merely uses a wordpress login, so you shopukld see the error with both, but worth checking

if both create the issue, then follow the instructions in the https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/ thread on troubleshooting and then come back

After some testing, I’m finding that if I edit a user account, and click save, they can then login on the 1st attempt. What I don’t understand is why this broke to begin with. It must have something to do with users in the database? This is going to be a long night.

Hi, whenever I make a forum private, it always have “Private: Private:” in the title.

Is there anyway I can change that?

Here is an example: http://www.jobsconnected.com/forums/forum/test/

Thanks!

[scrawny]

Latest WP version, latest php version, 2016 Theme, latest bbPress version, site under construction.

I installed bbPress, followed the setup and create a forum following directions. When I click on View page or copy/paste url for the forum I get a blank page.

I deactivate and delete bbPress, clean cache and reinstall bbPress. Do everything according to directons and get a blank page.

When I click on the ‘All Forums’ link I get a blank screen even after creating forums. All forums set to no parent and order is set to 0.

I’ve installed and deactivated and cleared cache and mysql and reinstalled bbpress 7 times and keep getting a blank page no matter which url I try to display the forum. What’s that saying about people repeating the same mistake over and over and over??

I’ve run vBulletin for years, and phpBB, but no matter what I keep getting a blank forum screen with bbPress.

not a css problem, but a div one

the content should be contained like this

<div class="bbp-reply-content">
<p>dsfgdsfdf</p>
</div>

but on your site you have

<div class="bbp-reply-content"> </div>
</div>
</li>
<li></li>
<p>There is a bill named by congress </p>

etc.

so you are closing the content div and another div before your post content

not sure what you are doing – have you amended any templates?

or is your theme doing this – as a test try another theme to se if it persists

Hi

Can anyone tell me how to remove the ability for group administrators to remove a group, change its name, or delete its forum please?

On our intranet I’ve set up the groups & forums for all of our teams and assigned the team leaders as group admins as I want them to be able to change the group pictures, be the only members that can add/remove/ban people, remove posts etc., but I really don’t want there to be even the slightest possibility that they could accidentally (yep, “accidentally”) delete the group or forum.
I also don’t want them to be able to accidentally change the group name as that would mess up various links.

I can’t even be in the first few thousand people to have wanted group admins to only be able to do so much, so I’m assuming it is possible

Many thanks.

[Robin W]

try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save

This resets the links and fixes 404 in most (but not all!) cases

bbpress 2.0.7 is very old, suggest you try 2.5.12 on your test site.

[afinkdesign]

Hey there!

I have installed bbPRess on my test system and then installed it the same way on my live system.
Now I have an issue with the page titles of bbpress pages.

When I log in as a non-admin user in live system the page titles are broken and all tites of bbprss pages are 404 errors. The content is showing just fine.
This issue orrurs only on live system. The ther things are working correctly.

Maybe thats relevant:
I set in bbpress settings the root to /forum
Then I have created a WP-Page called “forum”
Now the root seems to be this WP-Page

Thank you very much for your help!
Regards,
Alex

Ok. Latest update. The only remaining 502 errors seem to happen after the initial reply is entered successfully (in the admin interface) and then we need to change something in it (in our case, it’s often the author id) — AND when there is a hyperlink in the text entry. We’re using the WYSIWYG/visual editor. And only on the first update (after the original submission goes in). I can change the author 10 times after it fails (on the first update only) and they all go fine. I can change the author on a text only entry and never get the 502.

So, it’s looking like our initial issue is resolved (502 preventing the new reply admin page from loading at all for some admin users — fixed by the removing the entry in wp_notifications), but now we have an issue where we can enter replies, but editing them the first time, if they contain a hyperlink, causes a timeout/502 error. And this one really times out (takes a while before we see the 502). The initial problem of not loading the admin reply page at all and seeing a 502 was an instantaneous error — no delays.

email can be very complicated to debug.

I’d try

setting up a new user with an email address you have access to (and isn’t currently in the site)
Test to ensure it is working – you then have working user with working email. Change this email address to anything such as abc@def.com

Then take a user who you know is not working, and change their email address to the working one above
Then change the new user above to the not working email

Then you can see if the issue is with the email address or with the user and fault find from there.

Update… the only plugin I didn’t disable in the testing before is Buddypress (the core plugin). I just disabled everything except bbpress and buddypress. And changed back to the default theme. Still got the same error. Then I disabled buddypress itself. That stopped the error. But, I also only get the error for some users.

I’m going to replace all the core buddypress files to see if that resolves it.

[Robin W]

yes put this in your functions file – untested but should work

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_search_terms_parse_args', 'pluus_amend_search') ;

function pluus_amend_search ($args) {
	$args['post_type'] =  bbp_get_topic_post_type() ;
return $args ;
}

Hi.

Service: https://www.dolzikoo.com

In ‘Mobile device’, ‘Profile box’ is big and ‘Content area’ is small.

I want to reduce the size of ‘Profile box’ in ‘Mobile device’ or move it somewhere else.

If that is not possible, I would like to remove ‘Profile box’ when viewing from ‘Mobile device’.

Thank you.

That is the point when it appears. When I get to add new from the dashboard, or from other posts, or anywhere that might generate a new post in the back end. After further testing, I also cannot add a new page or a new forum.

Hi bb Team,

I found a bug, maybe, on bbpress ver.: 2.5.12 if I use action bbp_author_metabox

I try to add some user info on metabox but if I call this:

add_action('bbp_author_metabox', array($this, 'bbp_author_details'));
function bbp_author_details($post_id) {
	echo "<p>Test</p>";
}

in html code I’ve this on start tag:
`<p>Test</p><!DOCTYPE html>
<!–[if IE 8]>`

and on the right place:

<div id="bbp_author_metabox" class="postbox " >
<button type="button" class="handlediv button-link" aria-expanded="true"><span class="screen-reader-text">Commuta il pannello: Informazioni autore</span><span class="toggle-indicator" aria-hidden="true"></span></button><h2 class='hndle'><span>Informazioni autore</span></h2>
<div class="inside">
		<p>
			<strong class="label">ID:</strong>
			<label class="screen-reader-text" for="bbp_author_id">ID</label>
			<input type="text" id="bbp_author_id" name="post_author_override" value="xxxxx" data-ajax-url="xxxx" />
		</p>
<p>
		<strong class="label">IP:</strong>
		<label class="screen-reader-text" for="bbp_author_ip_address">Indirizzo IP</label>
		<input type="text" id="bbp_author_ip_address" name="bbp_author_ip_address" value="xxxxxx" disabled="disabled" />
	</p>
	<p>Test</p></div>
</div>

I found that do_action( ‘bbp_author_metabox’, get_the_ID() ) it’s called twice:
-on author_metabox function (bbpress/includes/admin/topics.php)
-on bbp_author_metabox function (bbpress/includes/admin/metaboxes.php)
-on author_metabox function (bbpress/includes/admin/replies.php)

This cause html error code.

I think it’s name error on bbpress/includes/admin/topics.php and should be do_action( ‘bbp_author_attributes_metabox’, get_the_ID() );

Thank you
David

no, 7.1 is producing 500 errors for some users

Has this error always existed, or is it new? Have you upgraded anything?

As a test are you able to deactivate private groups and see if the error goes away

I get a 500 error when I try to add a new blog post,

Can you give me the exact error please

also gives an error when I try to save or publish a pre-existing draft

can you give me the exact error please

[tweichart]

Hey guys,

I get a 500 error after the latest update:

AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /var/www/vhosts/<url>/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1800

ln 1800 looks like this:

// Split the status string
} elseif ( is_string( $post_stati ) ) {
    $post_stati = explode( ',', $post_stati );
}

could be fixed by forcing the array:

$post_stati = $posts_query->get( 'post_status' );
if (!is_array($post_stati)){
    $post_stati = array($post_stati);
}

// Default to public status
if ( empty( $post_stati ) ) {
    $post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

// Split the status string
} elseif ( is_string( $post_stati ) ) {
    $post_stati = explode( ',', $post_stati );
}

side note: wp version 4.7.4, bbpress version 2.5.12

Thanks in advance,
Toby

They show as ‘Forum’ which is why I was expecting something to be on the left that I could choose them from.

Would it be something to do with the page called Forums? I made a new page and called it Test Forum and added it to the menu bar. I then moved a couple of the demo forums to below it. Saved and refreshed. The moved forums show below the new menu item ‘Test Forums’, but unlike the original ‘Forums’ link, if you click on it you don’t get a landing page. I’ve had a look at the Forums page and can’t see anything different there compared to any other page.

[reedy]

@bullarni No, this hasn’t been resolved (I’m running the latest stable version of bbpress). I have not tried implementing the patches since they are so old.

[blasterspike]

Unfortunately I haven’t found a solution.
I still think that due to

Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.

the converter should have saved the database information to read phpbb_users somewhere but it hasn’t, that’s way I’m getting the “Error establishing a database connection”.
Which I think is somehow related to
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1886

At this point I will ask my users to reset their password.
During my tests, I have also discovered that even if you reset your password, you are still getting the “Error establishing a database connection” error for migrated user and to “skip” it, you have to rename/delete the table “wp_bbp_converter_translator”.

[Robin W]

suspect this is theme related.

as a test try switching to a different theme and see if that fixes.

If so switch back, and come back here and let us know what theme and a url to your site

[Stephen Edgar]

I was going to suggest renaming you’re plugins folder, you’ve done that already.

Try renaming the directory of your theme, or the entire themes directory if that doesn’t work

Strange, I tried hitting some URLs direct, e.g.

• http://restomod101.com/test/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
• http://restomod101.com/test/wp-login.php

I’d also suggest taking a look at any custom functions you have in a functions.php file

What about rewrite rules, have you any custom rules in your .htaccess file?

[shieatt]

I’ve been digging a lot and trying all kinds of different things but really have no idea how to get my site working again.

For whatever reason – every time I try and login to the standard Admin dashboard at “restomod101.com/test/wp-admin” for WordPress I get redirected to “restomod101.com/test/forum-registration/” which leads me to think its a redirect issue with bbpress but I could be wrong.

Whereas “restomod101.com/test/wp-login” takes me to a 404 error page.

What makes this all the more odd is the homepage seems to work fine EXCEPT when I click on any link, it resolves to a 404 page.

I’ve tried turning all the plugins off by renaming my plugins folder, I’ve tried my main themes folder but that takes me to a blank page.

What exactly has gone wrong?

Page is: restomod101.com/test/

Just trying to access the standard admin dashboard, I’ve put so much work into this site to lose it now!! Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
