I believe my site was automatically updated to WordPress 4.9.8 today. I went to
Appearance -> Customize, and I got a 505 Internal Error page. After a bit of
digging, I found that bbpress v 2.5.14, when deactivated, makes this problem go
away. When I enable the plugin again, the problem returns. When Deactivated the
problem goes away again. Everything else seems to work fine except for the Customize under Appearance. Since this is isolated to bbpress, I figured I should notify you.

Good day. I want to add new notification type in my site – Updated the status of the task I have assigned to the user (for example, the task completed). But by default, this function is not. How to do this?

Version WP and BP last.

I’m surprised no one has asked such a question before… Please, help me.

I need the forum information (the one that displays “This forum contains 1 topic and 1 reply, and was last updated by admin 1 month, 2 weeks ago”) to be moved to the bottom of the forum. How can I do that?

[Ash Whitney]

Hi Robin

I was using your BBP Style Pack plugin already as it’s a very useful plugin. I’ve just updated to the lastest version and set the number of forums in the new feature under Forum Display – which works great.

Thank you kindly for your time and for the very useful update to the plugin.

Regards

Ash

I’ve just now updated to V2.6rc_5. Now the problem is I press the Start/Continue button and get Starting… then a few seconds later it stops. Then I press Continue and again it starts and stops.

TIA

@michent1 – thank you – your updated version + the original shortcode by op works as a charm (had some issues with the original one).

how to set the main page of the forum to show updated topics rather than post? it is frustrating.

my web link: wikibc.com

[AdventureRidingNZ]

In one of the topics for posts files there is a statement that defines what post types it works for.

Updated: in index.php look for

/** Only process for post types we specify */
		if( !in_array( $post->post_type

and you can add your custom post types in there

I’ve been working 2 days on trying to import a bbPress 2.5 forum into an existing website. My last attempt was manually changing and relinking all the forums, topics, and replies in the WordPress Importer’s exported xml files.

Everything looks good in respect to showing correct topic, post, reply, and voice counts. What I can’t figure out is why the topics and replies don’t list on the child forum pages or on the topic pages. Those pages say at the top the correct number topics and replies (i.e. “This forum contains 10 topics and 16 replies, and was last updated …), but directly under that it says “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

I’m guessing that I’m missing some sort of ID linking that doesn’t show on the xml export. Please, can anyone help? Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

More updates:

• Tried updating the database values directly. Changing the status of a forum affects how the title is displayed (“Private:” is added or removed depending on whether the status is set to private or publish), but the visibility of the topics within the forum doesn’t change. Again, only updating the forum status to Public and then to Private causes the topics to display.
• The topic and reply counts are displayed and accurate for the forum, but the topic titles and links don’t appear until the post is updated to public then private
• Other changes to the forum via its edit page don’t trigger a fix of the glitch

I set my forum and went to reorder them, I used 0, 5, 10, 15, etc to make sure I had enough spacing if I ever added more forums/categories. They all saved and show this updated order, but when I look in the frontend of the site, they still show up in the old order. I deleted bbPress, reinstalled and it was still showing. Cleared my cache, checked with other browsers and devices, still there. I deleted the forums so they don’t exist at all and they are still showing up…

any ideas why I can’t reorder or edit them at all? I checked with the base 2017 theme as well.

[James Revillini]

Oops! You are right. I created a gist for it and updated with the fix: https://gist.github.com/jrevillini/7f38ee887d7e6919cfc31c6a7e2cc514

Thanks for pointing that out. If you notice any other issues, please let me know.

I use bbpress as a support forum. I see there’s a ‘canned replies’ plugin around but it hasn’t been updated in several years and appears defunct.

Is there anything newer about? Or has anyone come up with an alternative solution to facilitate inserting standard replies to common questions on the forum?

Thanks!

According to me “Responsive Theme” is the best theme for any forum based site, there are so many very useful SEO friendly options which normally other popular themes do not have.

One of them is Last updated date…and special bbpress theme layouts

[mereleya]

Hello!

May I ask if this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/ will work correctly despite not being updated with new WP version?
Or, maybe is there another plugin/way to do the same as this plugin do?
Thanks in advance.
Marina.

Hello bbpress Team,
Now we have facing version compatibility issue in wordpress.

Wordpress : 4.9.5
Buddypress : 2.9.4

Now getting some notification and error regarding deprecated functions. Please updated your version with this plugin compatibility.

can you suggest us whats we do now and how much time taken for next update?

[Editor Mike]

So, fixing the bbpress forum relationships fixed the problem.
However any new post once the repair forum tool is used negates that fix.
The last updated by no longer works and the URL has reverted to showing only the post number without the page number.

[Editor Mike]

I did a batch of forum repair actions and it fixed the issue.
You can now click on the last updated by and it takes you to that reply.
What I have noticed is that after running the repair tool the URL of the last reply includes the page number and topic number.
Before running the tool when it did not work, the URL just showed the reply number with no page number listed…

I will update if it breaks again.

[Editor Mike]

Thanks, that looked handy, but just tried it and it does not seem to have sorted the issue.
Still will not go to the latest reply on topics over 1000.

Topic in question:

Crom's Anvil – 15mm Fantasy

When you click on the last updated by link it changes the URL in the browser but does not actually take you to it…

thank’s a lot.

[makingcircuits]

I am happy to see the plugin is updated…but sorry to say it doesn’t work now….before the update it was working wonderfully but now it is a mess (sorry to say this)

[swagataminnovations]

@Pascal, Well I can see the plugin is finally updated by you and Mr. David Dean. Thank you, appreciate it very much!

[Jen333]

I saw that plugin, but I hesitated since it hasn’t been updated in 3 years.

[cinsin]

I’m glad you say that, at least it’s clear to me on how private and hidden should be used in theory, but it seems somewhere the plugins got mixed-up. bbPress Capabilities was last updated 4 years ago which means is probably not safe to use but fixes my problem, Members might or might not reply to my post, not really willing to pay for raising possible bugs, will let you know.

Hi,

No shortcodes are working in the bbpress pages. The shortcodes are runnng very well in all other pages of my site. Just not working on bbpress topics, forums and replies pages. So I guess the problem is within bbpress. I tried to find out plugin conflict but no conflict was found.

Here is one of my topic pages: click on the “Login” or “register” button in the top menu. A hover will appear where I put a shortcode that works well in any other pages. Also, you can click on “contact” in the footer to see another shortcode not working. No problem with the plugins created shortocode or the popup modal, as they are working just fine in all other pages.

All the plugins, themes and applications are updated.
