Ok, so what have you updated?

[Mike Witt]

I just updated to bbPress 2.6.14 and I notice that dragoeco’s fix was not included in that (although that loader.php file was updated to fix the object creation problem for php 8.2). What’s the best way to … increase the odds of getting that done next time? I guess the person I’m asking this question is @johnjamesjacoby.

I have caused an updated topic to fail when saving. The “test” topics all state that a critical error has occurred, but no emails are detected.

Now you are a blog member, please feel free to post a new topic

[hollandnumerics]

However, in Troubleshooting Mode, updated topic “test 3” is being shown correctly.

Active plugins: bbPress and bbp style pack

1. Posting just text on the FRONT end saved, but can’t be viewed.
2. Posting just text on the BACK end saved, but can’t be viewed.
3. Cannot update post from the FRONT end.
4. The updated post can be saved on the BACK end, but can’t be viewed.

Note that the vast majority of forum topics are created or updated by me on the BACK end. The FRONT end is rarely used for posting or updating.

[Robin W]

ok, so in the backend if I create a topic with a title of ‘test’ and this content

<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
hello
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Then it publishes all fine.

Does that work for you, and if so, can you give me exact steps to recreate problem.

Also able to edit that topic so changed hello to goodbye and it updated fine

We’re part of the way there…

I’ve updated to your 6.3.2, cleared caches on WP and my browsers.

I’m using Brave for development, Firefox to test.

The raw html doesn’t appear if I log in to the WP dashboard and preview the site (Brave), but if I log in as a user (Firefox) the problem reappears. Still only for the ‘Last Reply’ and ‘Last Activity’ links.

Brave on my phone is also displaying the raw html.

Thanks.

I had to revert back to the original server because the new one didn’t display the forums. Yes, it was a total copy of all files, plugins, content, theme and database. Same domain name (after DNS updated), just onto a new server (host).

[teachworldhistory]

I have a website that uses bbpress forums.

The bbpress forums have worked for 5 1/2 years. When WordPress 6.8 came out, it broke. Now, when members log in, they can only see 2 forums and even those don’t work. When I log in as an admin to word press, all the forums are there. When a member logs in, they only see two broken forums. The updated bbpress plugin did not fix it. Reverting back to a previous Word Press version did not fix it.

Can I get any help with this?

[mkmcst]

where dose the file go? i also updated wp now my bbpress is showing empty topics

[grem2016]

Hi Robin,
No, it was myself, some 8-years ago, when I added the forum. Since then we’ve added WP page content, images etc, and I’ve just kept it updated. The addition of the single BBpress forum on one page was very simple using the shortcode “bbp-single-forum”, with no other changes that I recall. Eventually I hope to remove all visible log-in possibilities, relying only on c-panel admin access for update/maintenance purposes.
Maybe I’m missing something here, and removal of the site log-in widget will also remove the login option on the forum page. Did you already take a look to see what I mean? Under the “memories shared” tab, you will see further tabs, one of which is Forum, and that is where the other Login/register section is, below the forum topics. It is this part I would like to see removed so that the page is cleaner.
Is that possible?
Thanks in advance,
Graham.

[Mike Witt]

Yeah, I’ve noticed that sometimes you have to wait for a day (or two?) for that page to get updated. I think that, for some updates, it never happens. Best to just use the Blog page.

bbPress Live Topic Suggestions

bbPress Live Topic Suggestions

I used to use WPFORO because I liked its topic suggestions, but it was difficult to make it multilingual, so I went back to BBPRESS.

This plugin hasn’t been updated in 10 years, will it ever be introduced as a core plugin for BBPRESS?

2- With the update of the bbp style pack plugin to the new version, a new problem appeared related to the Google Search Custom activation code (gsc) on a personal site, explaining that:
I use the gsc code in the Custom HTML block in the site header to activate Google Search on the site.

Before updating the above plugin, there was no problem in executing the above code on the site and forum, but as soon as the plugin was updated and even before activating
If you are using shortcodes in your footer, this option should ensure they display correctly
It was observed that the words #gsc.tab=0 were added to the end of every address, including the site and forum, such as

خانه

and
https://ghazavatonline.ir/forums/#gsc.tab=0

and
https://ghazavatonline.ir/concept-corruption-and-prostitution-in-article-639-islamic-penal-code-tazirat/

This problem is such that it cannot be solved by disabling the add-on and inevitably the entire code from the above block must be deleted, which I also inevitably deleted.

It is also worth mentioning that, to make sure that the recent problem is related to the bbp style pack plugin, I created a test site and activated the previous version of the plugin and used the Google code. There was no problem with the site and forum addresses, but after updating the plugin, it was noticed that the problem with the mentioned addresses appeared.

Is it possible to solve the recent problem in particular?

Thank you for all your hard work and honest efforts.

[yt]

Hello Mr. Rubin
Thank you for your efforts in solving the problem and updating the plugin.
Since it was not possible to send the entire answer at once, I will send it in two parts:

1- I updated the plugin and enabled the option
If you are using shortcodes in your footer, this option should ensure they display correctly
but unfortunately the problem of not displaying the shortcode in the footer of the site and the forum was not resolved and still remains, which you can see on the site and the forum at the following address:

خانه

and
https://ghazavatonline.ir/forums/

* It is worth mentioning that, with the plugin update, the problem of not being able to view all templates in the site editor section, which I had previously announced, was also resolved. I do not know if it was related to the shortcode problem or if you fixed it separately. In any case, thank you very much for fixing this problem.

Hey guys,

How to replace the permalink structure from:
{domain}{forum-slug}{usernicename}

To:
{domain}{forum-slug}{First_name-Last_name}

Here is my code snippet hat change the structure of Permalink, but I am getting 404

function custom_bbp_get_user_profile_url( $url, $user_id, $user_nicename ) {
	// Get the user data
	$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );

	// Check if user info is available
	if ( $user_info ) {
		// Get first name and last name
		$first_name = isset( $user_info->first_name ) ? $user_info->first_name : '';
		$last_name = isset( $user_info->last_name ) ? $user_info->last_name : '';

		// Create custom user_nicename as "First Last"
		$custom_nicename = trim( $first_name . ' ' . $last_name );

		// Return the URL with updated user_nicename
		return str_replace( $user_nicename, sanitize_title($custom_nicename), $url );
	}

	// If user info is not available, return the original URL
	return $url;
}

// Hook the function into the filter
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_profile_url', 'custom_bbp_get_user_profile_url', 10, 3 );

[Milan Petrovic]

This is not bbPress related. This is error in Avada theme, most likely due to outdated code that is not updated for PHP 8.x. This message is related to changes in PHP 8.1. You need to update Avada, or contact Avada author to fix the problem.

[actev]

Hi there we are trying to make BBPress work on our site, http://www.adventurecountrytracks.com we use Memberpress and Elemntor, unfortunately, we cannot finish the design work, even though we have used some of the hints we could find online.
we use current versions all updated.
even if we can make the front forum page to work, the topics and all sites below arnt adjusted.
it would be great if we can get help…

thanks and cheers.

[hansderuiter]

Thanks @robin-w,

Nice to see that your plugin is being updated.

Is there a default group that all users are added to? The particular forum that I want to restrict is one that everyone must be able to see and have access to. Having to manually add every new user to the right group wouldn’t work.

[John James Jacoby]

2.6.11 is out!

Blog post imminent.

Changelog code page updated.

Sorry everyone 😔

[Robin W]

just had a quick look, and for instance this function is used when moving a topic form one forum to another. The function makes sure that all replies (child ids of tne topic) are updated with the new forum_id in the reply postmeta, so that if restored later on, they remain correct.

[Robin W]

I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen trying to help others, I am not paid to do this.

It is entirely relevant in that they may well be a reason why trashed posts are added, without knowing when and why the function is called and how it is used, it is impossible to say that the code is wrong.

I agree that a filter before that or variable passed would be helpful, but bbpress is not being actively worked on at the moment so it is unlikely that this would get updated.

If you want to flag this, raise a ticket on https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

You might want to use bbp_get_public_child_ids or use the filter at the end of the function to as you say ‘override’ the setting, or if you are using this function directly, then simply create your own version of it.

[Robin W]

I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.

The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.

My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.

bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. In essence it is a WordPress product, written by the founder of Wordress, and taken into a plugin by sponsorship from WordPress. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.

I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.4.x and php 8.2 with no issues.

The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.

However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this

bbp style pack

as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.

All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.

The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.

I am guessing that you are being told by Wordfence, which is telling you based on the fact that the plugin has not been updated, rather than any actual security risk.

But with open software you make your choices….

[supermagicien]

Hello,
I know this subject has been raised many times before, but this extension has not been updated for over two years.

My security software is asking me to uninstall it, which of course I can’t do, otherwise I’d have to close the forum!

Has this project been abandoned for good?
If so, what should I do and is it possible to migrate the database to another extension?

Thanks

Christophe
