Hi,

I recently saw that all of my forums and reply pages won’t open. The only thing that opens now is the first page of the forum. The others open only in blank page.

Moreover, when I discovered the issue, I deactivated and re-activated all of my plugins, I have reinstalled the bbPress plugin, I have deactivated all of the plugins except bbPress and I have reindexed the permalink but nothing fixed the issue.

I mention that I have created forums and that there are hundreds of replies in there. Also, I’m using the latest version of bbPress on the latest version of WordPress.

My forum is here: https://itutorial.ro/forum/ .

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Sorry, you have already done the import I see now. I thought you were blocked during the import.

2.6 is bringing better import mechanisms (but you don’t have an issue there), better performance and lots of other stuff (see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-beta/).

I would propose to run the 2.6 in a test environment and see if it solves your issues.

Pascal.

Hi @7mps,

Are you trying to switch to bbPress or to the latest version of eMyBB ?

Pascal.

I am trying to updat eMyBB 1.6 to Latest Version Updation Error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined method datacache::update_reportreasons() in /home/indianengineers/public_html/install/upgrade.php on line 598

I ran into all kinds of issues with php 7.1.
A bunch of stuff doesnt work with it yet.

I would try version 7.0.16.

That was the latest version that would work with everything for me.

[Saravanan]

HI,

Now i updated into Latest My BB.

Still I Can’t Import MYBB forum data using import forum tools within BuddyPress.

any other way.

[ddevries]

My search results don’t show the topic name…

When the keyword is found in a topic, the search result shows the forum name and the topic description (no topic name).

When the keyword is found in a reply, the search result shows just the reply and who wrote it. No forum, no topic. So, there’s no context. You can link via topic # in the upper right corner, but that’s not very user-friendly.

Is this wacky display because of my theme? I’m using Razor. I have the latest bbPress. Can I change the code to display the search results similar to how you do it here on this support site, where it says “in reply to <topic name>”? If so, where can I do that?

Thank you in advance for your help. 🙂

Hi Robin

Sorry for my late answer. I’ve test it with php version 7.0 and now I’ve also a blank screen with the following message (when I activate the wordpress debug):

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1848 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query)) #1 /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #2 /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-includes/plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(1681): do_action_ref_array(‘pre_get_posts’, Array) #4 /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(3238): WP_Query->get_posts() #5 /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-includes/class-wp.php(617): WP_Query->query(Array) #6 /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-includes/class-wp.php(735): WP->query_posts() #7 /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-includes/functions.php(955): WP->main(”) #8 /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-blog-header.php(16): wp() #9 /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/index.php(17): requi in /var/www/html/NCCR-PlanetS/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on line 1848

Does anyone know if this code still works? Also where do I post this to test it?

Thank you! 🙂

Hi,

Before I begin, please don’t lecture me on why I should always use the latest WordPress version – let’s just say that I’m very well aware of all the usual arguments, but I’ve got a mountain of much better reasons why I don’t want to ‘upgrade’. And 3.7+ get all security updates anyway.

Anyway, I am currently successfully running 2.5.10 on WordPress 3.7.19. In the release notes for 2.5.11 you updated the minimum requirements from 3.6 to 4.2, and on the plug-in page specifies 4.7! Why does such a minor point release require such a huge jump in requirements? The only issue I have with 2.5.10 is the 3.8+-style icons (which would only require a minimum of 3.8 anyway).

[dayan89]

Latest reply link in sidebar widget leading to topic’s first page instead of latest reply. This is happeining only in one specific topic – http://prntscr.com/el6sac http://dailyfantasysports.ru/forum/topic/ponesli-sandali-mityu/#post-20932 Others are working fine. What’s the problem? Any idea?

[whitecedar]

I created whole new copy of the site, I activated and updated one plugin at a time. Checkign each time to make sure things were still working properly.

The problem is only between bbpress and the latest version of wordress.

this is the error I get: Warning: ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, object given in /home/blendics/staging/2/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php on line 316

[repyourhood619]

Hey Robin and Kajzh, did you ever get this to work? I am having the exact same problem. the custom made role is showing up under the forum role dropdown on the user profile but when the profile is saved after selecting the new role it does the default message when no role is assigned “No Role For These Forums”. Robin I did what you suggested by deactivating plugins and changing the theme but to no avail. Please see the function below.

function np_add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
	$bbp_roles['beta_tester'] = array(
			'name' => 'Beta Tester', 'bbpress',
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
	);
	return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'np_add_custom_role', 10 , 2 );

Thanks in advanced!

[dmayer5]

Awesome, just tested it, thank you!

[Pascal Casier]

It must be a plugin somewhere that does this!

Have you tried installing a plugin like ‘Postman SMTP’ and check the logs ? In that plugin, in the advanced options there is also a way to change to TEST which (I suppose) will delete all emails before sending them out.

Keep us informed!

[brettdarnesh]

@casiepa

I tried your suggested untested code

`function casiepa_fltr_get_forum_subscribers( $user_ids ) {
return array();
};
// add the filter
add_filter( ‘bbp_forum_subscription_user_ids’, ‘casiepa_fltr_get_forum_subscribers’, 10, 1 );`

it’s not working for me 🙁

I have an urgent matter where bbpress is sending our multiple emails not just from the recent activities of the day but from all notifications from the beginning of the whole forum. I’m not sure on how to stop the thing. People are being driven nuts

[Robin W]

untested, and may need you to debug it a bit but something like changing step 3 to read

/*
 * Search only a specific forum
 */
function my_bbp_filter_search_results( $args ){
 
    //Get the submitted forum ID (from the hidden field added in step 2)
    $forum_id = sanitize_title_for_query( $_GET['bbp_search_forum_id'] );

$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $forum_id );

 $args['post__in'] = $sub-forums ;
            
    
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args' , 'my_bbp_filter_search_results' );

you may need to add the main forum into the sub-forum list/

[Robin W]

untested but try

add_action('bbp_template_before_pagination_loop','pmh_new_topic_button');

[Robin W]

without seeing the site, this is like me saying to you ‘my car won’t start – what is wrong, but no you can’t see it”!

suggest you try as a test removing any functions in your child theme functions file to see if one is upsetting it, and if so put back one at a time.

If that doesn’t work, do the same for style.css – ie take out all styling and re-introduce.

If neither of those work, then suggest you look to your theme supplier or docs for anything you need to do in a child theme to make it compatible with the parent.

[Pascal Casier]

This is bbPress, for BuddyPress you could check the BuddyPress forums 🙂

Below just a quick idea to stop ALL email to subscribers, but UNTESTED:

function casiepa_fltr_get_forum_subscribers( $user_ids ) {
	return array();
}; 
// add the filter 
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_user_ids', 'casiepa_fltr_get_forum_subscribers', 10, 1 );

Hi @netweb, @gmmedia,

I have just installed bbPress 2.5.12 and Yoast SEO 4.4 on a completely new WP 4.7.3. I have found the noindex the very first time on the standard /forums page, but after the following steps it seems I do get SEO info and I can fill keywords at forum level in /wp-admin.

• Install bbPress and activate
• Install Yoast SEO and activate
• In /wp-admin/options-reading.php make sure NOT to have the ‘Search Engine Visibility’ ticked
• Run the Yoast SEO configuration wizard from /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_dashboard#top#general and make sure to mark forums as ‘Visible’.

So at least Yoast SEO works.

If somebody else can do further testing, that would be great.

[dominikb]

What i am trying to do is, to add “Last reply from:” like its here in the Topic Info, i just want to include the avatar of the latest reply to it.

[Robin W]

it may be a conflict ot 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 Robin,

yes, when participant roles delete replies it works. I was thinking, when a participant delete a topic what he creates, and a lot of users reply to this, after he deletes, all the replies are as well deleted, made no sense.

Is it possible, to take out the possibility for participants to delete the topics? They should be only able to delete the replies of them

Regarding the Admin Role:

When i activate the Code in the Dashboard the following happens

1.) yes, thats correct. With activated code as Admin i cannot manage / access the Forums page and cannot create topics and replies, when logged in.

To test then, i opened in the same browser a second Tab and pasted the http://domain.com/forums link and refreshed the browser to see if it works there, but i still get redirected to the Homepage (Landing page)…

Also what is strange, under Dashboard – Admin Menu the Links Forums, Topics and Replies are complete missing …, when deactivating the code they appear again..

Regards
Sally

Hello John,
thank you for your kind reply.

My goal is to show the name (including link to user page) and the avatar of the user, who wrote the last reply in an infobox on top of the topic.

If you want to have a look at it: https://bewusstewelt.de/topic/test-2/.
Its still in progress at the moment. In the right box i want to include the information about the last reply.

Looking at it, i just remember, that i still ned to find out, how to get the view count for the 2nd box done.
If you have some wisdom to share on this one also i would be very thankful.
