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
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?

[Robin W]

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

[horizon70s]

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

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!

[Pascal Casier]

Okay, I have put my first version on https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-api/
Please help me test it (replies should be added in the next days).
For all further questions/remarks concerning this plugin, please use the support forum of the plugin.

Here’s a new one for me. I just moved the site to a new URL, everything on the site works just fine except for the links to the forums and individual forums, and return the error “www.domain.com is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP Error 500”

I can view the forums if I click on the links to “most popular topics”, “topics with no replies”, “topics with most replies”, and “latest topics”.

I compared the settings from the old and the new site for the forums and they are both identical.

Anybody have any idea about what might be going on and how to repair it?

Thanks in advance,

JK

I am running a site with WP 4.6.3 and bbpress, as well as TinyMCEadvanced.

If I disabled tinyMCE advanced I can post with bold, italic etc.

If I enable tinyMCE advanced, all I get is HTML code like:
<span style=”color: #0000ff;”>Testing styling of forums posts.</span>

If I login in as admin this does not happen, as there is a small box which says You have the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.

How can I make it so that all users can use this? My main concern is adding different colour text.

2.6 (beta 2) is available for testing (if you haven’t already seen the announcement post) – so things are happening!

Hi!
I have a problem concerning Wishlist Member and group forums.
The custom post types forums, topics and replies are protected by Wishlist Member and the respective WLM levels are applied to them. Regarding general forums (bbPress) the pagination and protection works very well as expected but not in Buddypress group forums.

Unfortunately members can not access the second or any other than the first page of a group forum topic (in Buddypress groups). If a member (who has no admin rights) clicks on [2] or [->] of the pagination, they always get the first page displayed although the permalink is correct and the URL states that they are apperantly on page 2.

As soon as I deactivate wishlistmember, the pagination in the group forums works as expected and all pages of a topic can be accessed.

As group forum is a key feature in my closed community, I kindly request help to get this fixed. I already asked in the Buddypress Support forum for help, but they said that BuddyPress is not implicated. So here I am…

I tested it on a subdomain with Twenty sixteen and all plugins disabled except:
WordPress 4.7.1
bbPress 2.5.12
BuddyPress 2.7.4
WishList Member 2.91.3153

I know that Wishlist Member is a paid plugin and I already contacted their support. I just think, that this may not be solved by one party 🙂

I appriciate your afforts and any information I can pass to the WLM developers why this isn’t working as it should be.

Thank you very much

Philipp

This thread may help. I’m having a similar issue, however I’m only using TinyMCE. I tried @robkk ‘s reply.js file but I couldn’t get it working for me. Maybe It will steer you in the right direction?
PS I’m not using buddypress and I switched to a default theme to test without success.

EDIT: After posting this comment I read on through that thread and found the issues may be unrelated. Looks like he’s having the same problem.

[Roed]

I just tried to disable ALL plugins but BBPress and set theme to a standard Twenty Seventeen. Still the same error. And when I do get a search result and move on to page 2 I will get the same error each time.
Link to site if anyone would have a look 🙂

I have done some testing and I believe the issue is caching within browsers and server caching. Once I clear browser and server cache the text area defaults to the text(html) tab and all works correctly. Anyone have an idea of how to not have the TinyMCE not cached?
