Hi all,

I’m running a small forum since little more than 11 months.
Never had (significant) problems till about 2 weeks ago, when suddenly activities and replies stopped being recorded.
Replies are visible in the topic page, but in the forum root counts of voices, replies and also the freshness are not updated any more.
By using the manual recount tools in the repair forums, numbers are updated. However, it seems it’s not going to update it automatically any more.
Using WP 4.3.1 and bbPress 2.5.8, Travelify theme
Forum: http://www.sarproz.com/groups/sarproz-group/forum/

Any clues for solving the case?
Many thanks in advance!

Have they fixed it so you can import from phpBB version 3.1.x yet? I’ve been waiting awhile to convert to get this updated, but I don’t have any way to know if it supports it yet or not (at least that I could find).

[Robkk]

This is how you remove the line.

#main-content .container:before {
    display: none !important;
}

Also I updated this bbpress.php a little more, as I do not think you will be using page builder with bbPress pages.

Hi,

You use ‘WP SMTP’ ? It seems not updated for over a year and compatible up until 3.9 only. I would propose to find an SMTP log tool to see all outgoing messages that the headers are correct. Or switch to a newer SMTP like Postman.

You are 100% sure the users are subscribed to the forum ? If you’re unsure, consider bbP Manage Subscriptions to check who is subscribed to what forum.

Pascal.

Hi,

First of all to reply to your question: I have never seen a plugin like this, but then of course, I don’t know all the plugins around bbpress as every day new ones are created or updated.
If you really don’t find it and are willing to pay, you could post your request on http://jobs.wordpress.net/

But then just some thoughts: Is this really a strict/blocking requirement to move to bbPress ? Nowadays in all modern email readers, all threads are grouped one under the other. So if you have 1 new reply or 10 new replies, you will only see 1 email with (10) threads, so it should not really bother people.
And if I subscribe to a topic, I’m really interested in it and want to follow it by email. The only thing could be a ‘digest email’ on an hourly/daily bases, but that’s a slightly different topic.

Pascal.

I want to customize the TinyMCE editor with so called mini-plugins. For example, I have the emoticons mini-plugin that I want to use. When I place it in the folder /wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins I’m able to use it through a custom wordpress plugin or the functions.php from my theme. But as far as I know this mini-plugin can get removed when wordpress gets updated.

That’s why I want to know if it’s possible to use these TinyMCE mini-plugins inside my (child) theme instead of just throwing them into core?

[alex59]

Thank you for your prompt reply ^^ .
There I miss this feature in order to launch my site for good and finally be able to do like all great name.
I do not understand no one thought of before . I want to actually do that, because I want to store all the news in the forum corresponding with comments .

The plugin that is made for this kind of thing and it https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/ , but it is not updated for 2 years.

I know a site that has managed to do this in wordpress game-guide.fr but uses XenForo this Generais me to have to repay a subscription to a forum .

If you intend to develop a plugin , I ‘m interested.
After all depends on the time that you need .

Sincerely, Alex

Hi @robkk
(somehow i managed to unsubscribe from my own topic…thus the delayed response). Thanks for your answer.
My forums are intended to be group forums for buddypress. And this is also the case in which I have this bug.
So in regular forums a user who has the overall moderator priviledge (set in user settings) can set tags. Works as expected.
In the case where a user has overall participant priviledges and I set a user in the group management setting (I suppose thats BuddyPress) to be moderator, then the user cant assign tags anymore although he could as a normal member. This is the behaviour I would consider a bug 😉
No I havent tried creating custom roles. I´m also not sure about the interaction with BuddyPress, thus I tried to get some help here first.
On my regular installation I have a role editing plugin, but not on the new test platform. Thus I would discard this as a cause for the bug.
I just ran the repair feature which updated 1 user on the test platform, but this didnt affect the priviledge to post tags. It just resets the overall moderator role of a person to normal participant (if the user has a WordPress subscriber role).

Regerding the other trouble shooting:
– Its a fresh installation
– With 2015 theme
– Only bbPress & BuddyPress as plugins
– I just ran the repair functions again, since this is a fresh install nothing has been updated according to the notifications from the repair functions.

I´m aware that this seems to be an issue between bbPress & BuddyPress and I´m not sure which plugin causes this bug. Since bbPress tags are disappearing I thought it might be bbPress.
Any further ideas how to approach this?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-protected-forums/

This is the plugin, it is exactly what I am looking for … but I dont know if its safe to use since its has not been updated for over 2 years!

What is your advice ?

Thanks 🙂

[OsamaNuman]

I have this small question on how to restrict one category to admin only to submit new topics in it ?

I saw that there is a plugin regards this issue but its not updated long time ago! Is is safe to use it, or is there another way to do this ?

[TKServer]

I’ve been making my one custom threaded reply page which displays the posts/replies in a little different format. I’ve got new posts posting correctly to the wp_post and wp_postmeta. I’m struggling with replies though, and what is inserted and updated in the db there.

Anyone know all the queries that are performed on post, reply, and reply-reply? Replies to replies seem different than standard replies etc.

[iJamesPine]

So as of approximately 10:30pm Sunday night the last reply was posted to my website jamiepine.com/forums. Users of my site were unable from that point on to post replies to any topic in any forum on my site.

It allows them to write their reply, then upon clicking submit, the page reloads and the reply isn’t there. I’ve spent over 13 hours trying to find something that could be causing a conflict or error that would prevent replies being created. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

– I’ve disabled ALL plugins aside from bbPress
– I’ve disabled the my theme (switched to TwentyTwelve, TwentyThirteen and TwentyFourteen)
– I’ve done both of the above at the same time & on their own
– I’ve disabled Cloudflare (my CDN / cache service) [it’s still disabled]
– I’ve updated all plugins and themes
– I’ve typed every possible phrase relating to this problem into Google in effort to find answers
– I’ve inspected the database to the best of my knowledge**

**I’ve noticed bbPress is creating many revisions of old replies from last year even when the site was in maintenance mode and no users were able to access. I was also receiving an email telling me I’d received a new reply to my topics (from 2014) when I wasn’t even touching the site. It’s essentially gone senile.

I’d list all my plugins, but my problem is I’ve changed nothing before 10:30PM that Sunday other than adjusting plugin settings in WP Super Cache, which is now disabled. In fact I know the pages aren’t cached because I can update anything else on these pages and create new topics; I just can’t reply.

My theme clearly isn’t the problem as it’s still broken at a core level; but it is my own child theme of Canvas.

The only thing I can think of is that I installed a plugin called bbPress AJAX replies a few hours prior to the problem, but that plugin did nothing of use anyway so I removed it straight away. I also inspected the code and didn’t find anything that would cause a lasting effect on the site, no database communications of any nature.

…But it looks to be a database issue?

This has caused me no end of headache and I’d greatly appreciate some help, I’ll provide you with any details you need / admin login to the site. I have hundreds of users waiting to use the site.

Thanks in advance,
Jamie

Hi,

Here is the code that we use with the child theme. As we run a large forum, we must modify some setting of the server but we use a VPS.

			switch( $column_name ) {	
				case 'bbp_topic_forum':

Do you think this is a right way? Is there a way to improve it?

Ok, I figured it out.
Just wrote a small plugin adding the “newzik” protocol :

<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: NZK links support
* Plugin URI: http://newzik.com/
* Description: Adds support to newzik:// links
* Version: 1.0
* Author: Pierre Mardon
* Author URI: http://newzik.com/
* License: None
*/

/**
 * Extend list of allowed protocols.
 *
 * @param array $protocols List of default protocols allowed by WordPress.
 *
 * @return array $protocols Updated list including new protocols.
 */
function wporg_extend_allowed_protocols( $protocols ){
    $protocols[] = 'newzik';
    return $protocols;
}
add_filter( 'kses_allowed_protocols' , 'wporg_extend_allowed_protocols' );
?>

Hello,

We have done this… we are still testing it. Be careful use VPS:

* The filters are ‘bulk_edit_custom_box’ and ‘quick_edit_custom_box’. Both filters
* pass the same 2 arguments: the $column_name (a string) and the $post_type (a string).
*
* Your data’s form fields will obviously vary so customize at will. For this example,
* we’re using an input. Also take note of the css classes on the <fieldset> and <div>.
* There are a few other options like ‘inline-edit-col-left’ and ‘inline-edit-col-center’
* for the fieldset and ‘inline-edit-col’ for the div. I recommend studying the WordPress
* bulk and quick edit HTML to see the best way to layout your custom fields.

*
* WordPress has an inline edit post function that populates all of their default quick edit fields

Does the plugin not work as intended @utahman1971, or you haven’t tried it because it hasn’t been updated for a while? From what I see, it probably hasn’t been updated because bbPress hasn’t changed enough to warrant the plugin being updated (ie, it stills works with the current version).

If that’s not the case and it simply doesn’t work or has some sort of vulnerability, you could always ask which templates to paste your ad codes in. I prefer doing that over adding yet another plugin that might break during upgrades. With ad codes being touched so little, template edits seem appropriate enough for the job.

[Michael Bryner]

Robkk, that plugin has not been update for a long while. Using old plugins is not a good idea. Too bad they won’t update it and someone else hasn’t made a updated plugin for bbpress and buddypress. I need for both of the plugins and not going to add a old plugin that someone could easy exploit through.

[Robkk]

Are you talking about the 1 updated message? It should translate to Last updated message.

Or the description itself.

The description displays fine.

[Robkk]

In a single forum or a topic, you would usually see a description like this describing what a topic or forum contains.

This topic contains 12 replies (+ 1 hidden), has 1 voice, and was last updated by robkk 6 days, 7 hours ago.

To see any all the posts especially those marked as spam per forum/topic just click the (+ 1 hidden) , “1” is how many topics/replies are marked as spam or pending moderation.

To just see all of the topics/replies sitewide marked as spam/pending, login into your WordPress backend and to see all the topics go to Topics > All TOpics and you should see an action link labeled spam and pending to filter the posts. Similar with replies except it is Replies > All Replies.

Here is an example of the action links in Topics > All Topics.

[creativecardio]

I updated to bbPress 2.5.8. I’m using Simplepress 5.5.11 with this. Since then, the boxes for my “search” function in the forum are no longer showing up. Also the box at the bottom of each new topic has a box for a simple “Captcha” math problem and the box for that is no longer showing up to my users anymore. Not sure if it is a text setting or a layout issue, but the line around the text that framed the search area as a “box” is now missing.

Basically there should be a “box” for the user to type keywords into the search field. It’s technically there, but my users can’t see it. (It’s just not visible to them) The “SEARCH” used to be like a header area with boxes around showing where to type. It was highlighted real nicely. Wondering if this is something in the preferences section that was automatically reset during the last update? Where would I fix that?

——-

In addition, when a user goes to reply to a topic, that’s when the “captcha” box comes up. The users are telling me it won’t let them post, but they are just not seeing the “box” for the captcha math entry. It is there, but they are not seeing it. It’s where my finger is directly under the 6+4. There used to be a prominent box there that has disappeared in the last update I did. Any ideas on the settings that I might need to adjust?

*I’m a rookie when it comes to bb Press, so the more step by step you can give me the better.

@robkk
Thank you so much. I finally got the wp-login forms working. I even managed to style them by enqueuing the login style sheet. Here I have a question – I used the following:

function my_login_stylesheet() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'custom-login', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style-login.css' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-login', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style-login.js' );
}
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', 'my_login_stylesheet' );

This is fine, but the style sheet is loaded in my theme directory (responsive). I tried to load it into my child theme (responsive-child-theme) but it doesn’t work. Is the maian theme directory the correct location? What happens if the theme is updated?

All this is new to me as I never set up a forum before, just websites. I am concerned about security. I am going to install Akismet. Should I also do something about honeypot registration? If so, what would you recommend? Would you also recommend reCaptcha? If so, what would be the best way to implement it?
Many thanks.

Hello , I wish I could ye help with the following :

In the discussions that I believe to this message appears for example :

” This discussion contains 4 replies, has 1 updated message and profile image Jose Antonio Jose Antonio Marquez Marquez 6 hours, 55 minutes ago. ”

4 debates appear but I see the message.

How I can do to make the message look ?

Here is the link : http://autoforma.es/forums/topic/pregunta-aplicatitivo-telematico/

Fiiiinally, I found exactly what I needed. I was honestly searching up and down as to why I could no longer view the posts (viewing a topic) in my custom theme, it seemingly broke out of nowhere on a site I hadn’t updated for a while. I’m glad this search has come to an end.

Thanks @robin-w! I was at a dead halt with my website until I could figure this out. Semi-old topic, I know, but I’m sure it’ll help others out.

EDIT: I’ve made a small donation through your website.

[Skvirly]

Yes these are activity streams from Buddypress like “New member registered”, “Updated profile”, “Posted a status update” and so on.
If only Buddypress is activated it shows up fine. It used to work with Akismet also, but since today even with Akismet it is not working 🙁

[mica123]

Thanks very much. I had a look at the wp-content-filter but this is compatible
to WordPress 4.0.8 and it was last updated more than a year ago. Are you using this
plugin yourself?

I read the topic you pointed me to. It is not clear to me if bbPress has its
own profanity filter?

Thanks.
