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

I’m facing a problem related to forum topics. On the listing of forum topics, when I click on any topic in the list, it display the detail page of latest topic. URL is correct but show title and content of latest topic.

WordPress version: 4.5.4
bbPress version: 2.5.8

What version of bbPress are you using ? Did you upgrade to the latest 2.5 ?

Hi senatorman,

My apologies for the late reply. I haven’t looked at this for quite some time and I haven’t tested it on any other situation/environment than my own.

If you still need it: I usually use phpMyAdmin to export data to a csv file.

I have the latest 4.7 version of WordPress and installed the latest bbPress plugin (updated 4 days ago).

When I click on Forums->All forums, in the WP Dashboard, it shows me a full white blank page. Upon typing website.com/forums, it shows a blank page. The newly created forum link website.com/forums/forum/forum is also completely blank. I’ve tried this on two themes – Twenty Sixteen and Twenty Seventeen. Both showed blank page.

I tried creating a new page and pasting [bbp-forum-index] but that gave me the following code as the result:
{{ partial “head.html” . }}
{{ partial “header.html” . }} {{ partial “sidebar.html” . }} {{ partial “post/header-cover.html” . }}
{{ $paginator := .Paginate (where .Data.Pages “Type” “post”) }} {{ range $paginator.Pages }} {{ .Render “summary” }} {{ end }} {{ partial “pagination.html” . }}
{{ partial “footer.html” . }}
{{ partial “foot.html” . }}

Hi,

First, a quick description of the issue:
When using a bbPress Login Widget in combination with Jetpack and its Protect module activated, logging in via the widget will
1. redirect the user to a stand-alone math puzzle page which in turn (whether the puzzle was solved or failed) will
2. redirect to the normal wp-login.php page where the user will have to
3. fill out login credentials and solve another math puzzle again (!) and after submission, the user is
4. redirected to the dashboard instead of back to the original forum page.

So, besides the inconvenience of having to pass the same login credentials twice and solve two different math puzzles, the user will find himself searching for the page he came from, which defeats the whole idea of the login widget…

I found a way to make Jetpack Protect and the bbPress Login Widget work together (by allowing the math puzzle to be inserted directly into the login form in the sidebar) but looking for users to test it in different circumstances like hosting environments, caching plugins etc.

The pull request can be found on https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/5647

The fix is this:

Open the Jetpack file modules/protect.php for editing (can be done in the WordPress plugin editor) and change:
1. line 53 from

add_action( 'login_init', array ( $this, 'check_use_math' ) );

to

add_action( 'login_form', array ( $this, 'check_use_math' ) );

2. line 61 from

add_action( 'login_head', array ( $this, 'check_login_ability' ) );

to

add_action( 'login_form', array ( $this, 'check_login_ability' ), 0 );

(notice the added “,0” there at the end too!)

Next Save, activate Jetpack’s Protect module and add the bbPress Login Widget to your forum sidebar. Then visit your site in an anonymous browser window and test logging in via the widget.

Please share your experiences. Thanks !

Can you add some more details please?

Does this happen if you do this yourself with a new test user?

If you could add some reproducible steps like these:

1. Create a new user testuser
2. Add the participant role to testuser
3. Signed in as admin I create a topic xyz
4. Log out of admin, login as testuser
5. Reply to topic xyz

Actual Result:

I see the reply author as….

Expected Result:

I expected to see the reply author as….

Hi,

So we’ve tried everything & can’t understand why this area of a person’s profile isn’t showing the design of the theme.

http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/1940542/c825d5493b4b28be3f483097398658d0

It also produces a 404 status.

We tested it on the 2015 theme & it didn’t work there either.

Please help.

Thanks

[ysiggen]

Now that you state the obvious I didn’t even think of looking around that. Yes, BP’s profile gets displayed when someone clicks on a member while browsing the bbpress forums.

The thing is, I guess, that the wp profile image stays the default and “true” one. Ideally, either wp should sync its avatar with BP or the other way around (BP fetches wp avatar and uses that one).

Now as I’d like to keep it as it’s built, since it is quite good looking already, I mean I’d like to fully use the BP profile (that bbpress redirects to, as you pointed out), I’m not too sure of what would be the fastest or/and easiest:

• Do the wp profile images gets synced with the BP profile image (since it has one on its own)
• Tell bbpress to go fetch the BP profile image, since my users only have access to their BP profile

I looked for plugins that do either, already, I didn’t quite find my fit yet. And I was hoping someone would have done something similar or knows enough to talk me roughly through what I need to do in order to achieve what I want to do.

Either way, if anyone has some clue, that would be nice.

If there is no luck at it, I guess I’ll be trying to do it by myself, but as I am no php expert and don’t really know much about either wp, bbpress or BP, I’ll have to get going with more reading first.

Thank’s for your reply Setphen, it lit a bulb on my side.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m not seeing any issues with this @piratesjv81

If you look at this screenshot https://cloudup.com/c-PvKdbwPl0

The forum testtesttest is a sub-forum of the revision tests forum and they both have the subscribe link to subscribe to the forums

I think this may be related to a couple other complaints, but there’s no menus once there’s an install on WP 4.7

I’ve tested on 2 different vanilla installs, on 2 different domains.

Thanks

Also I don’t know if this function I created to add capabilities did anything in combination with deactivating and activating bbPress, but this function was in my Theme functions.php file during the process of doing the deactivation and activation. 😉

// bbPress Keymaster capabilities fix
function aitpro_add_caps_bbp_keymaster_fix() {

$capabilities = array( 
		'keep_gate', 
		'spectate', 
		'participate', 
		'moderate', 
		'throttle', 
		'view_trash', 
		'publish_forums', 
		'edit_forums', 
		'edit_others_forums', 
		'delete_forums', 
		'delete_others_forums', 
		'read_private_forums', 
		'read_hidden_forums', 
		'publish_topics', 
		'edit_topics', 
		'edit_others_topics', 
		'delete_topics', 
		'delete_others_topics', 
		'read_private_topics', 
		'publish_replies', 
		'edit_replies',

		'manage_topic_tags', 
		'edit_topic_tags', 
		'delete_topic_tags', 
		'assign_topic_tags' 
		//'test' 
		);

    $role = get_role( 'bbp_keymaster' );
	
	foreach( $capabilities as $cap ) {
        $role->add_cap( $cap );
	}
}

add_action( 'admin_init', 'aitpro_add_caps_bbp_keymaster_fix');

[AITpro]

Eureka I found where the problem is. Yeah!

On my Live site this is the DB value for wp_options > wp_user_roles is missing the “keep_gate” and all other capabilities.

Live site DB value: s:13:"bbp_keymaster";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:9:"Keymaster";s:12:"capabilities";a:0:{}}

Local Dev test site DB value: s:13:"bbp_keymaster";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:9:"Keymaster";s:12:"capabilities";a:29:{s:9:"keep_gate";b:1;s:8:"spectate";b:1;s:11:"participate";b:1;s:8:"moderate";b:1;s:8:"throttle";b:1;s:10:"view_trash";b:1;s:14:"publish_forums";b:1;s:11:"edit_forums";b:1;s:18:"edit_others_forums";b:1;s:13:"delete_forums";b:1;s:20:"delete_others_forums";b:1;s:19:"read_private_forums";b:1;s:18:"read_hidden_forums";b:1;s:14:"publish_topics";b:1;s:11:"edit_topics";b:1;s:18:"edit_others_topics";b:1;s:13:"delete_topics";b:1;s:20:"delete_others_topics";b:1;s:19:"read_private_topics";b:1;s:15:"publish_replies";b:1;s:12:"edit_replies";b:1;s:19:"edit_others_replies";b:1;s:14:"delete_replies";b:1;s:21:"delete_others_replies";b:1;s:20:"read_private_replies";b:1;s:17:"manage_topic_tags";b:1;s:15:"edit_topic_tags";b:1;s:17:"delete_topic_tags";b:1;s:17:"assign_topic_tags";b:1;}}

[akgt]

another minor update, using the latest files uploaded yesterday directly into the patent theme, things work better, still needs some updates but works better,

Maybe you have your bbpress setup slightly different, what are you bbpress settings ?

user settings wont work with buddypress active in this theme.
it changes url forums/users/Adam/ to members/Adam/edit/

also doing this make not difference.

Maybe theme put styles in <?php wp_footer(); ?>
try to remove <?php wp_footer(); ?> from bbpress.php and view did work.

[u_Oi]

I tested the site and runs fast…

[senatorman]

It look like the authors off BBpress ignore an very big problem that the performance goes bad on big forums.
They can’t test this, because they have no big testforum, so they think BBpress is fast enough, but it isn’t

PLEASE PUT YOUR TIME IN THIS PROBLEM, IF YOU WILL MAKE BBPRESS GROW.

Take a look of my forum. 1100000 posts, 72000 topics, 50000 members.

Those patches are over two years old. I’m running the latest version of bbpress and still have this issue. Do I need to apply the patches above to core? Why aren’t they in the current stable release?

[themichaelglenn]

@consultjoseph @siparker Sorry it took me so long to respond to you guys.

I am using the version of this plugin I put on Github in a beta test of a site I’m moving from Joomla to WordPress. I’m using WordPress 4.6.1 and bbPress 2.5.11.6121 and am using a child theme of Twentysixteen.

The biggest thing is that with the version of the plugin I’m using, bbPress Settings need to be adjusted:

1. Go into Forum Settings and set “Forum Root” to “forums”
2. UN-check Forum Prefix – you do NOT want to prefix all forum content the Forum Root Slug
3. Make sure that the Single Forum Slug for “Forum” is “forum”

Next, go into Permalink Settings:

1. Under Common Settings, select “Post Name”
2. Save changes

If you don’t set or RESET your permalinks, you will get 404s! But if you reset your permalinks after activating the plugin, everything will work.

I expect to take my beta site live within a week or so; when I do I’ll provide a link to the permanent live site so you can see the bbPress URLs in action.

that pipe is from the admin links and seems to be an extra one.- not sure why this appears for you – 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.

That will hopefully tell you what is causing it

I deleted all cache via the wp fastest cache.

Can you add me on Skype: thomask1993@hotmail.com

Thanks

[akgt]

Ive just tried testing the theme on my site, I followed the instuctions but it does not look the same.
also is it possible to have the search and user panel below the main menu ?

[Robin W]

ok, untested but try

wp-content/plugins/bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-search.php

copy to your PC and

line 17

<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="bbp_search_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>" />

change to

<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="search_submit" value" />

save this file to

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-search.php

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

[Robin W]

suspect that wp fastest cache might be saving a version.
