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.

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.

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?

It seems that the shortcode: [bbp-topic-index] (which I use as the landing page on my forum and in a few navigation tabs) isn’t working in my 2 test environment installs. Could this be confirmed?

Confirming the Permalinks (settings) solves the issue in both env.

Regarding the [bbp-topic-index] issue.

I ran the buddypress repair tools, succes in my main test env., not in the other. For your information.

He Guys,

It seems that the shortcode: [bbp-topic-index] (which I use as the landing page on my forum and in a few navigation tabs) isn’t working in my 2 test environment installs. Could this be confirmed?

Best regards,

4.7/4.7.1 and bbpress 2.5.12 work

If you have these then :

1. what php version are you running?

your host provider can answer this

or you can install

https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-php-version/

If it’s php7 then come back

otherwise

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

I’ve a blank screen if I try to open the forum pages [http://nccr-planets.ch/forum/planets-forum/], this are since I’ve update to version 4.7 from WP. I’ve try to deactivate all other plugins, but it still not works. And also change to another themes give me the same result. The only possible reason I could make are a downgrade from the WP (I’ve test this on my test system and he works). What can I do that the forum displayed on the current WP version?

Thanks for help!

[Stephen Edgar]

It sounds like you might be using PHP 7?

If indeed that is the case the issue you are having I think is fixed in bbPress 2.6-beta

You can update (and test) the new bbPress https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-beta-1/

[Barry]

Well, if you’re building on my example code you could make a few changes in order to get the information flowing back to the success message:

# Find this line
bbp_insert_topic( /* ... */ );

# Change it: let's catch the post ID
$topic_id = bbp_insert_topic( /* ... */ );

# Find this line
post_to_bbp_status( 'success' );

# Change it: let's pass the post ID instead of 'success'
post_to_bbp_status( $topic_id );

# Find this condition
if ( 'success' === post_to_bbp_status() )

# Change it: test to see if it contains a post ID
if ( is_numeric( post_to_bbp_status() ) )

# Find the line
return 'Thank you for your submission.';

# Change it: display the new topic's permalink
return 'Check your post: ' . get_permalink( post_to_bbp_status() );

Note that these changes are untested, they don’t do any safety checks etc etc. However, I hope it gives you some ideas you can use to further develop your own solution 🙂

Hello, I am having great difficulty getting any widgets to appear in my Forums sidebar. I believe now that it relates to the page I have bbPress running on. After initially installing bbPress I later added a new page and added [bbp-forum-index] as directed to do in the documentation. However, when I’ve tried to use the Forums page id to exclude the Forums link from automatically appearing in the footer it did not work. Also I had to use (.bbpress) in my css to style the header of the page as .page-id- was not working.
My issue still occurs when tested using Twenty Seventeen.

[senatorman]

i’ve remove my 2.6 aplha and instal 2.6 beta 1 after the fix on an testforum with 120 forums and 500 posts

the install runs fast (few seconds) it looks like there is no converting in the database to convert usermeta to postmeta. There is no big performancechange

i had understand that beta 1 is an good performance update. And makes Bbpress faster for big forums. Am i right?

[climbingturtle]

1. I’ve confirmed this is a wider issue with ALL wordpress registrations. It is not a BBpress issue.

IF SOMEONE ELSE is having trouble with registration emails, you should test general WordPress user registrations:

– make sure “Anyone can register” is checked in Settings/General
– go to yourwebsite.com/wp-admin
– click register
– see if you get the registration email.

2. There’s a discussion from three months ago (~October 2016) about Godaddy blocking WordPress registration emails b/c they think they are spam. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/godaddy-internet-community-ib212-filtering-wordpress-registration-emails-as-spam/

3. There’s a nifty plug-in to check email from your site called “Check Email”. I’m able to get emails sent from this plug in. So it seems likely that I may also be a victim of registration emails being blocked as spam.

I will post more results as I get them.

I need help and although I have 2 domains once .com and .de. These two sides I have installed on my Websever in 2 different folders and installed both the same plugins. I would like to have a possibility to connect both sides. So the bbpress on both sides the same user possesses however one one on .de or .com in the profile go can be without the bbpress only over one domain is callable.
The problem I had namely with the test it as multisite run. There bbpress was then only over the main page, ie the first page attainable and the subdomain which I had with a plugin on .de changed had no bbpress profile.

I would like to have the profile with the .de or .com menu bar on top and thus the profiles have to be retrievable on both sides. Is there such a possibility

[Robin W]

ok, something has changed, it could be a theme or plugin update

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.

This is great news!

Unfortunately I did pretty much hit a fatal error straight away (I reported it and added a patch here – hopefully that was the right place/course of action) though I believe that will only impact those who test this out in a site that was already running bbPress, vs a clean installation.

[Stephen Edgar]

Per the announcement post:

If you’re going to test 2.6 on a live site, maybe don’t just yet. It runs a database upgrade routine to migrate favorites & subscriptions from usermeta to postmeta, and for large forums that may take a while or possibly lock things up for a bit.

So I’d suggest waiting until we hit beta 2, by then we should be able to better analyse how the upgrade routing has worked for some larger sites, mainly wordpress.org.

[senatorman]

i’ve the same problem with 1,1 miljon posts.
Here it takes 4 to 6 seconds to post. Not very fast.

There a serveral topics about this problem.
It looks like the author’s of Bbpress don’t see that as a big problem.
for them Bbpress posting is fast. (i think they testing on a small forum)

[Robin W]

ok, so something must have happened to make you lose them. Have you installed other plugins or changed themes?

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.

@rajaindian – great let me cut a version for you – I’ll do a minimum of testing and then come back

Hey everyone! Guess what?

bbPress 2.6, Release Candidate 3, is now available for testing.

Download it from here: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6-rc-3.zip

Why is this cool? For starters, @jeffr0 may finally climb down off my back and stop giving me grief for how long it’s been since we shipped a major release.

bbPress 2.5.0 in 2014, 3 years ago.

Most people wouldn’t be proud to say that, but… I am. The 2.5 branch of bbPress has been so stable & well received, we were able to take our time with 2.6 and double-down on upstream improvements to WordPress.

bbPress 2.6 will come with:

* Per-forum moderators
* Improved favorites & subscriptions management
* Improved BuddyPress integration
* Performance improvements across the board
* UX improvements to meta-boxes and admin-area tools
* Tighter integration with WordPress’s Dashboard
* Template tweaks & clean-up
* About 110 other things

If you’re going to test 2.6 on a live site, maybe don’t just yet. It runs a database upgrade routine to migrate favorites & subscriptions from usermeta to postmeta, and for large forums that may take a while or possibly lock things up for a bit.

We are already running 2.6 here and on bbPress.org, so enjoy the speedier new posting experience, and we’ll let you know when the next beta is ready!

Hello,
is there a possibility of bulk closing old topics? Eg doing it from dashboard? At the moment, I am only able to do it in a very slow way (open every single topics and close it)…
Or can I set some time limit for automatic closing?

Thank you for any insight!
Best,
Jan
