Hi everybody,
I was actually starting a topic about this, a few days ago, but my post contains a bunch of links (more than 3) to help contextualize the discussion and it’s still pending approval.
If moderators can help with that, the link to the topic is:
https://bbpress.org/?post_type=topic&p=181440
(I hope it’s not a problem to link it here; in case, feel free to delete or edit this reply)

I was trying to start writing a first version of a REST API too, as I missed the latest posts by Pascal. Also, I looked for existing code here:
https://github.com/ePascalC/bbp-API
but found only empty files. Am I missing something?

Anyway, I downladed the plugin and checked the code there.
Mine differs a bit as I was using BP-REST as a starter: I saw they had an extensive discussion about how to frame the whole work and structure it for the longer term, so I thought it was a good idea to take that into consideration.

If you think we might join efforts on this, let me know; I have limited time to invest on this but I’d be pleased to give my contribution whenever I can.

Cheers,
s t e

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, this topic has been very helpful in getting the latest replies, thanks Barry & Robin!
I’m trying to get the topic of the last five replies and later on construct the URL using the topic URL and reply # (kinda like Robin’s shortcode plugin does), but I can’t figure out how to do this.
I changed $author_id = get_post( $single_item[‘id’] )->post_author to $topic_id = get_post( $single_item[‘id’] )->topic hoping it would return the topic ID, but no luck. Is there a way to retrieve how to target this field?
Thanks again!

if it looks like a theme issue then try

bbpress wp4 fix

or

bbpress wp4 fix2

[Robin W]

yes it will get your admin back.

Hi Robin,

Don’t know where your’re in the progress of your tests, but I noticed that the “What the file” plugin I couldn’t see for more than a day just turned up today but on another profile I’ve created for my friend that will take care of the site once all the issues with the forum part are solved!

Really weird!?

Yet it doesn’t display in my admin profile !!!

Anyway, I could find out thanks to this plugin that this is the “page.php” template which is being used on the page listing all the forums and the “bbpress.php” for each forum !

Yet, when I select it through this plugin, changes I made on the model in the theme child I had created are present :

<div class=”wrap page-full-width“>
<div id=”primary” class=”content-area-wide“>
<main id=”main” class=”site-main” role=”main”>

<?php

But I guess this has more to do with Twenty seventeen subtleties or the CSS!!??

FYI, here’s the site I followed step by step in order to get this fuc… full width page to work properly and the closest to the theme Twenty seventeen :

Hi RotiSoft,

You can change bbp_get_forum_last_reply_title to bbp_get_forum_last_topic_title, to get rid of the reply-to tag. However this will still make problems, while for example deleting or trashing a topic.

Robin gave me the following code, it should show the latest title without “reply-to” tag: http://pastebin.com/raw/jY5hSPPp

This should be used together with:

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>
<?php bbp_forum_freshness_link(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

However you might need to adjust a little due to the way of your theme setup.

Hi Crew,

I have just tried running the code on my own test invironment, and i can see, that the code, does not seems to work.

I do however not have enough knowhow to help you further.

I am glad to see, that you got your functions file to work atleast.

[Tamas Rottenbacher]

Hy!

My forum: vizipipafan.com/forum/ (When You don’t understand the titles isn’t problem, you will see: the url is same or total another.)
I test links and not all is wrong.

[Robin W]

untested, but try adding this to your functions file

add_filter ('bbp_filter_anonymous_post_data' , 'rew__filter_anonymous_post_data' 10, 2) ;

function rew_filter_anonymous_post_data( $retval, $r  ) {
	// Filter variables and add errors if necessary
	$r['bbp_anonymous_name'] = apply_filters( 'bbp_pre_anonymous_post_author_name',  $r['bbp_anonymous_name']  );
	if ( empty( $r['bbp_anonymous_name'] ) )
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_anonymous_name',  __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Invalid author name submitted!',   'bbpress' ) );

	// Website is optional
	$r['bbp_anonymous_website'] = apply_filters( 'bbp_pre_anonymous_post_author_website', $r['bbp_anonymous_website'] );

	// Return false if we have any errors
	$retval = bbp_has_errors() ? false : $r;

	// Finally, return sanitized data or false
	return apply_filters( 'bbp_filter_anonymous_post_data', $retval, $r );
}

[crewockeez]

yes. i bbPress will now use this template instead of the original. but test don’t work

[Robin W]

ok, so I’ve loaded twentyseventeen, and works fine on my test site.

so can you tell me how do you want the forums to display eg full width, left hand with sidebar on right, or right hand with sidebar on left? – you may have already said, but I would prefer not to re-read all the above

[tpurple]

I am creating a forum for users that is part of a larger website. When I tested registration it appears that registered users have access to the website dashboard, even when set to participant or spectator level. How do I configure the log in so users only have access to the actual forum themselves?

I am using WordPress 4.7.2 and bbpress 2.5.12

Thanks!

Wordpress is 4.7.2 BBpress is the most updated version. site is http://teroromighty.com

On the main site you’ll see the bbpress login. I can log in with my account but the page will refresh and not show me the menu items that are listed to be private. (only logged in viewers)

i can log in by using the /login page and then it’ll allow you to view profile as if you’re logged in but it’s not showing the menu items profile and logout.

And account to test with is dragonchild pass Dragon13

I’m at a loss really. I’ve also got a plugin called

[ddevries]

Thank you for that style-pack – it looks great. I used the test drive plugin to test twentysixteen, and yes, the main forum page works. So, now that I know it’s a theme problem, where would I start on figuring out the exact issue? Just some high level directional advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you again, Robin. 🙂

[Robin W]

no problem

that does make me more suspicious that it is a theme issue.

just as a test can you try switching to say twenty sixteen and see if that fixes

by the way you can style forums using my style pack plugin, which will make them much more pretty

[ddevries]

I just installed bbPress 2.5.12 on WordPress 4.7.2. I created a test forum with one topic. I haven’t changed any of the default settings. When I load the forum page, I get this:

Forums
by (Edit)
Search for: Home › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness Cardstock 1 1 1 hour, 55 minutes ago Cheryl

It looks just like a bunch of text with no formatting. Here’s the link: http://livelovecards.com/forums/

I haven’t tried disabling plugins because I have a lot of them and my site is subscription, so I don’t want to disrupt service. I’m hoping this is an obvious problem to someone out there.

Thanks so much for your help!

Hello

Today I imported a forum from MyBB software. After this action I can no longer access the bbPress page “Replies” in WP admin backend. I receive an error 503 “Service unavailable”. The problem occurs with this URL:

– http://www.undertoner.dk/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply

I have performed all possible repairs through the tools.
I have disabled all plugins except bbPress.
I run the latest PHP version.
I can see and edit the replies in frontend.
I can add new replies in frontend.

I am almost certain it is a server database issue.
None of the replies have titles and I have read this might be an issue.

Can you somehow help in any way?

Now I can’t post as an admin either?

Really odd. We’re using the latest WP/plugins.

[possip]

Hi, when I or some other user wants to post a topic or answer, i can’t see it until i logged out and in again. First i thought it was a keymaster-only issue, but a testuser had the same.
Anyone who knows how to fix this? 🙂 greets

[Robin W]

many threads botn on this forum and on the all in one seo pack page

google

bbpress all in one seo

and you’ll see a list

This one frequently fixes apparently :

I spoke to the author of the All in One SEO Pack and was told to delete and reinstall the plugin. Surprisingly, it worked even though I already had the latest version.

[Robin W]

login probably isn’t going to do it either.

Probably a setting in wordpress or your site

or ‘I changed all of the URLs directly in the database’ something mis-set here

Suggest you start by

Hello,

I try to import my phpBB 3.2.0 (latest stable version) to bbPress (latest version 2.5.12) using the default import tool in the WordPress 4.7.2 backend. The phpBB is clean, no mods / plugins or custom styles. I get this error:

Repair any missing information: Continue

WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]
CREATE TABLE MNmAD_bbp_converter_translator ( meta_id mediumint(8) unsigned not null auto_increment, value_type varchar(25) null, value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default ‘0’, meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join (meta_key(191), meta_value(191)) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;

No data to clean

Starting Conversion

I don’t know any MySQL so I don’t understand what to do. If relevant here the collations used: utf8_bin (phpBB) and utf8mb4_general_ci (WordPress).

Any suggestions?
