Hello bbPress Experts,

I just installed BBPress and created a New user account subscriber/participant. I tried to make my first POST to a Topic and got the following error:

Error: Your reply cannot be created at this time.

Here’s where I tried to make the post: https://www.taxfreehaven.info/forums/topic/recommend-new-topics-to-our-keymaster/

Any ideas what I may have done to Block making posts?

Thanks
JP

Thanks, that error report let me find the issue.

if you update bbp-style-pack plugin to latest (5.3.3) version it should all work

[@azpub Participant 1 year, 10 months ago]

I’ve deleted bbp-style-pack plugin and still have the same Error.

Can you POST under this TOPIC???

The Bahamas Forum

Also I was embedding a Link could this be the issue? How can I allow embedding links?

I’d suspect that you tried posting more links than you have set as permitted.

go to

dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation for the settings that apply to your site

You should also consider installing as well :

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation

which will let you control moderation better, and the plugin has lots of other useful settings

I have the formatting and linking available on the BBPress but when adding links I still get the Error: Your reply cannot be created at this time.

Any ideas why these POSTS are being BLOCKED?

[@azpub Participant 1 year, 10 months ago]

And YES I installed bbp style pack

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

yes, this error is because you are posting more links than you have set as permitted.

As I said above :

I’d suspect that you tried posting more links than you have set as permitted.
go to
dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation for the settings that apply to your site

The default is :

Comment Moderation

Hold a comment in the queue if it contains 2 or more links.

[@azpub Participant 1 year, 10 months ago]

My setting is for 4 links maximum and even with 1 link I get the error, it only accepts the POST without links.

Comment Moderation
Hold a comment in the queue if it contains 4 or more links.

I have both bbp style pack and GD bbPress Tools installed could this be the issue?

I just paid for GD bbPress Toolbox Pro and it had a Fatal error trying to install so it didn’t get installed.

Should I remove these two plugins if I’m going to use GD bbPress Toolbox Pro?
bbp style pack REMOVE?
GD bbPress Tools REMOVE?

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

ok i’d suggest the standard fault finding to see where the issue lies viz:

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back
