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!

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

[teroromighty]

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

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

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?

Great, so the root issue of this topic is now resolved, awesome +1

I suspect the redirects are caused by the juggling in the ST_tweak_trash_meta_caps() function, I’d look there, most of that code shouldn’t be required.

p.s. Note, I only cut and pasted your code to test, I didn’t look closely or test beyond what I needed to test 🙂

[Robin W]

untested as I’m short of time this evening but…

create a directory in your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

if you take out line 44 which says

<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>

Then sub forums will not be listed

[Helmuts]

Good morning, this morning I decided to check how my site loads from all around the world and the report showed up error notifications:

—

after clicking on the error it says that bspstyle.css returns 404 (not found)
> screenshot:

There are no posts here on this topic and decided to start one here. Google returns a lot of issues after “bspstyle.css not found”.

What is the solution to this problem?

thank you in advance and, of course, huge tx for the creator of bbp style pack,
Helmuts

[sally]

Also what i found out when testing, When i login as Admin, and enter the Froums Url http://lemontrend.com/forums i get as well redirected to the Homepage.. When deactivate the Plugin, i can access the Url without any problems..

Regards
Sally

[Stephen Edgar]

@sallyruchman, using your code in your original post with the change suggested by @robin-w allows my test user to delete their own topics and replies.

I’ve saved the code used as a plugin here: https://gist.github.com/ntwb/56ab5a4eab8bbcdc90fc2bdfc2c57838

Could you please test this again @sallyruchman and confirm te results please

[mattiejas]

I’m running a website with two private groups, and I’ve run into a snag. It turns out that all logged in users can also see topics posted into private forums in the “recent topics” widget, even if they are not member of a private group. Naturally if they click on these topics, they cannot see the contents of the thread, but the topic titles occasionally do leak information that they shouldn’t be able to see.

Is this a known bug with the bbpress “recent topics” widget? Is there a way of fixing this?

I’m running wordpress 4.7.2, buddypress 2.7.4, and bbpress 2.5.12 (also jetpack, askimet, and wordfence, at their latest versions). Happy to provide more information if need be.

Thanks in advance for any help!
