After applying the latest BuddyPress plugin update to bbPress 2.6.0 the Forums List Widget now displays the forums in reverse order on the dashboard.

I updated the bbPress to 2.6.1 but this did nothing.

I have been running a membership website for almost 2 years on BuddyPress and bbPress with no problems. Should I submit this as a bug?

[mrmillercoach]

Could someone reply to this? Do I need to do something to get someone’s attention?

Your forums appear to require an account to see, which is going to make it difficult for anyone to help you.

It’s hard to know what could have caused this, making it difficult to know where to tell you to go.

What order were they in before, and what order are they in now?

[Robin W]

soemone else had this problem, and found the following fixed

Can you go into each forum in turn and just click save

@johnjamesjacoby for then other poster, this seemed to be related to post order in the forums

[mrmillercoach]

@johnjamesjacoby they are sorted in the exact opposite order in the Forms List Widget. They are listed correctly in the All Forums area https://community.careerpivot.com/all-forums/

@robin-w I have updated multiple of the forums and even tried changing the hierarchy to see if that might make a difference.

I would be happy to create a temporary account with appropriate permissions for someone to take a look. Just email me at marc@careerpivot.com

I just update to bbPress 2.6.2 which did not change anything.

[Robin W]

I’ve just taken a look at the code, and yes in 2.6 it is reversed

includes/common/widgets.php

in 2.5 it says

'orderby'             => 'menu_order title',
			'order'               => 'ASC'

in 2.6 it says

// Order
			'orderby' => 'menu_order title',
			'order'   => 'DESC',

There is no available filter to change this

@johnjamesjacoby was this change deliberate ?

[mrmillercoach]

Found the code you referenced.

[mrmillercoach]

@robin-w and @johnjamesjacoby

I made the change on the development/test instance of my membership website and changing the setting to ASC did fix the problem.

How should I proceed as I did not make the change to the production website?

[Robin W]

for the moment I would change the file on production, knowing that it will be overwritten by any new versions of bbpress.

Hopefully JJJ will respond.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve created a ticket to fix this, and it does like it was an unintended change

[Robin W]

@netweb – great – thanks

[mrmillercoach]

I made the change on my production website.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!

[Robin W]

it is scheduled for 2.6.3, but that is not guarenteed

[mrmillercoach]

Thanks!
