Several people posting to a topic with there mobile but then we get HTML tags like <p>Test</p>. The strange thing is it happend with several people on the same browser or OS.

Does anybody knows this problem?

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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

Sure it does make sense. With WP V2 API, if you want to list the ten latest posts, you use this url http://MY_SITE.COM/wp-json/wp/v2/posts. Please how do you do this to return that of forum topics?

[Robin W]

The below is offered as potential help, and in an effort to help, so if it is rubbish, then please come back, and I will try to help further.

bbpress uses the standard wordpress posts, but with post types of ‘forum’, ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ instead of ‘post’ and ‘page’, and bbpress code itself basically uses wp_query to access the database.

The glossary for wordpress api says

GET /wp-json/wp/v2/posts to get a collection of Posts. This is roughly equivalent to using WP_Query.

so I’d imagine that you would just use the same sort of call, and use wp_query parameters to return what you wanted.

So if for wordpress you had a command that gave you say the latest 5 posts, then this same command would work but just changing whatever that code has for post_type=’post’ to post_type=’topic’

If you wanted topics from a particular forum, you would add the equivalent of post_parent = ID where ID was the forum ID

In essence if you can tell me what you want, I can give you the wp_query, and you could hopefully translate this into json.

Does any of that make sense? 🙂

Hi,
WP 4.7, latest BBpress. I have a multisite: swissinformatic.org, magazine.swissinformatics.org, [other stuff]swissinformatics.org. My mail server is @swissinformatics.org and the plugin picks up $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] to create the no reply address.
COULD YOU HELP US with a setting box to supersede this value?
Meanwhile I replaced it with my site name in the functions.php code, but mind the next plugin update!
$sitename = strtolower( ‘swissinformatics.org );
Always beware of “Educated guess’ I’m not going to buy a mail server for each subdomain and with the present security of providers,…
I also created a no reply alias of my administrative e-mail address.
Everything is fine now

Hello adarshmadrecha,
Greetings!

Now I have used latest version of wp and bbpress but this issue is not resolved.

I am sharing two links regarding this problem. In first link, latest created topic is showing. And in second link, previous created topic is showing. These topics are related with same group. But you can see in second link, wrong content and title are showing. Here content is overwriting of latest created topic.

https://kombuchabrewers.org/groups/brewing-questions/forum/topic/commercial-juice-suppliers/ (latest topic)

https://kombuchabrewers.org/groups/brewing-questions/forum/topic/moving-into-large-fermenters/
(previous topic)

Also, I am using two plugins regarding this, bbpress wp fix and bbpress wp fix2 on our website.

Please review my message and help me regarding this problem.

Looking forward for your response!

Thanks & Regards
Team vivacity

Thank you for the quick response, I have done this. Okay so the first picture is the index of the forum and I want the exact same style with css

The bottom pic is the latest post on the homepage of the website.

visit Latest Post for the latest post section and for the forum index its Forum Index

Thanks

Hello:

I have created a log in page but I tested it myself and I logged out. But though I set up the recommended bbPress code for log in, there is no option to log in. When I logged out, I still got this message: “You are already logged in.”

I can’t create a registration form, in spite of creating one with the recommended bbPress shortcode.

Without being able to log in our log out, or register, I can’t invite anyone to my forum.

Sigh.

[thomasadamtaylor]

Hi guys, quick question – I am looking for to make a forum for our club and we want the separated like this and also the style of it:

And also the latest post with the styles like this:

Any help would be massively appreciated – Thank you

[devpaq]

In the forum settings, it gives the option “Forum root should show” with the choices of “Forum Index” or “topics By Freshness”. How can I have the root show both – the listing of forums, and below it the latest topics?
I know there is a shortcode [bbp-topic-index] which will show the latest topics, but I don’t know where I can put that to have it show on the forum root.
Thanks

Update WordPress to 4.7 and bbpress to latest 2.5.12.
Also share your screenshot for others to figure out what is going on.

The standaard BBpress searchfunction is very bad,slow, had no options to filter and it looks there is no development on this.

A good searchfunction is so very important for a succesfull forumscript.

After long searching and testing serveral search-plugin i’ve found a good working plugin.
Fast, configurable and ajax.

See the search-plugin in my live website http://www.opel-forum.nl
I use the free version. The pro version has more options.

This is the link to the plugin.

https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-search-lite/

[akgt]

Ive installed the plugin but so far im getting error not found when i try to send a message or check my messages, with a bit of testing it seam to be having a conflict with my theme.

can I use front end pm as a bbpress pm system instead ?

Hi, I’m having an issue with how bbpress displays on my website. Im using the divi theme with the latest bbpress plugin and wordpress version.

The border is misaligned on the left and bottom (see link below). I have tried css to fix it but with no luck. I think its to do with the padding. Anyone know how to fix this?

We’re still having this issue — even after updating WP to 4.7 and the latest version of bbPress to 2.5.12. It may be unrelated to the issue fixed in the latest release, but I’m not sure how we can even identify if it’s the same/related issue or something totally different. Any suggestions on what we can do to try to get this resolved (since the updates didn’t do it)? Thanks!

WordPress 4.7
bbPress 2.5.12
Site: https://forum.ait-pro.com/
Custom bbPress/BuddyPress Theme & tested switching to WP Twenty Seventeen Theme
Tried creating a bug ticket on trac, but was not allowed to login and do so.

Issue: In previous versions of bbPress this code below worked fine in my Theme functions.php file. As of bbPress 2.5.12 this code is no longer working in my Theme functions.php file. I checked output and bbPress Core code and did not see anything obvious. Output was good. ie $role and $caps, but it appeared that the filter was not being processed in time when the Activity template loaded. So I moved this code to the BuddyPress /plugins/bp-custom.php file and this code works fine. So obviously this some kind of init or loading order type of issue. ie the filter is being processed too late.

// bbPress Disable Topic Tags for Participants
function aitpro_get_caps_for_role_filter( $caps, $role ) {
	
	if ( $role == 'bbp_participant' )
		$caps = aitpro_get_caps_for_role( $role );

	return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'aitpro_get_caps_for_role_filter', 10, 2 );

function aitpro_get_caps_for_role( $role ) {
	switch ( $role ) {
		/* Disable Topic Tags for Participants */
		case 'bbp_participant':
			return array(
 
				// Primary caps
				'spectate'              => true,
				'participate'           => true,

				// Forum caps
				'read_private_forums'   => true,

				// Topic caps
				'publish_topics'        => true,
				'edit_topics'           => true,

				// Reply caps
				'publish_replies'       => true,
				'edit_replies'          => true,

				// Topic tag caps
				'assign_topic_tags'     => false, // Using false disables allowing Participants to create Topic Tags

			);
			break;
		default :

		return $role;
	}
}

Any post or reply on any forum throws an error after a long time of trying to submit the post [an error occurred while processing this directive]

The post or reply is successful, you can see it when you reload the page. When you make a post or reply and click submit, you can reload the page almost immediately and see that the post was made, not sure why it hangs so long and then shows [an error occurred while processing this directive]

I have tried this with WordPress 2016 theme with the same outcome. It does not do this on my local development server. This is not a new problem but I have just updated to the latest version and it still happens.

Wordpress 4.7

I don’t know if there is a way to get more info from the server, its go daddy shared hosting

Hello,
Greetings!

I am using bbpress plugin on my website. Before 1 month ago, we was facing one problem regarding bbpress topics then we have created ticket here. then we get the reply by your team member and he/she suggest me http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix/ plugin for it. then it worked for me. but after using it other problem was generating that latest topic content is overwriting on every topics in same forum . For solving this I have used http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix2/ plugin.

But now both plugins are not working properly together.Here only one plugin can work at one time properly.

Please guide me regarding this.

Thanks & Regards

I’m having this problem where a phantom link for the YouTube thumbnail is being shown in the excerpt portion of the Sidebar RECENT POST EXTENDED WIDGET. This phantom link, which is not clickable, takes you to the “video on YouTube” for that thumbnail.

The weird thing is the phantom link is only being shown in the sidebar of the Buddypress Forums Plugin (BBP) page and nowhere else.
I’ve tried the latest WP theme 2016, I’ve tried disabling all plugins, I’ve tried reverting back to older BBP Versions = (WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH) and I’ve tried digging through the codes for both plugin, got noooo where.
I use the Automatic Featured Images from Videos plugin, to generate the YouTube Thumbnails. This plugin is also not the culprit. 🙂

Please help, try a test version, see if the bug is a BBP plugin bug or a Recent Post Widget Extended plugin bug.

Merry Christmas, if I don’t hear from anyone by then…. 😉

We have upgraded to the latest versions of WordPress (4.7) and BBPress (2.5.12). We are seeing javascript errors now for finding the BBPress.css in the Child Theme.

http://insequence.online/wp-content/themes/flatbase-child/style.css/bbpress/bbpress.css?ver=4.7 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

I have copied the BBPress folder into the root directory of the child theme, though the link above states it should be in a structure below the style.css. This cannot be done, is there somewhere I can modify where it is looking or do I need to do something different to get past this?

[haddlyapis]

If i go to the forum page http://www.apis.de/forum (then log in) and click on one of the two latest posts then bbpress/wordpress logs me out. If i press Ctrl + F5 then it logs back in. This does not happen when i click on a different post within the topics, but only on the two latest posts.
Please advise
