Hello fellow bbpressers,

I have a problem. Latest reply link in sidebar widget is not functioning properly in a thread with big amount of replies. On other threads it is functioning correctly.

Link is like this: http://dailyfantasysports.ru/forum/topic/ponesli-sandali-mityu/#post-21564

You see? There is no page slug in URL!

It has to be like this: http://dailyfantasysports.ru/forum/topic/ponesli-sandali-mityu/page/53/#post-21564

But it’s not!

How to fix it?

I’ve tried to repair forums (WordPress Dashboard -> ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ -> ‘Repair Forums’ ) It helps. But only until next reply in this thread. After new reply link is broken again.

Please tell me how to fix it. Cannot solve this problem for whole month!

Hi, dayan89! You should do corrections in core code of bbpress – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5338. After that it needs to run “Recalculate the position of each reply” repair tool (Пересчитать положение каждого ответа – in Russian).

Hi @nesiditsa

Nice one ! I didn’t find it 🙂

@dayan89

The above mentioned fix has been added to bbPress 2.6. We are at the beta 2 (that you could download from https://bbpress.org/download/ ) so we are close to releasing the real 2.6 . If you have a test environment please switch to 2.6 beta already and see that it works !

@nesiditsa It doesn’t help.

Any idea why?

@casiepa Do not have test environment. Is this beta stable enough?

[@nesiditsa Participant 8 years, 6 months ago]

@dayan89, also try to run all forum’s repair tools and test posting after that.

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

It’s a 2nd beta so pretty stable (I’m using it on smaller forums already)… but it’s a beta of course.

[@dayan89 Participant 8 years, 6 months ago]

@nesiditsa
It doesn’t help either

New posts go with broken links

Old ones are fine

Do you also have problem with wrong redirect to the first page after posting in this topic?

[@dayan89 Participant 8 years, 6 months ago]

Yes, I do.

[@nesiditsa Participant 8 years, 6 months ago]

I think you should review some meta fields in WordPress DB if you can. You may find meta “menu_order” in last post of topic and “_bbp_last_active_id” meta field of first topic post. It needs to review both fields after posting in long topic with issue.

[@dayan89 Participant 8 years, 6 months ago]

I’m not much technical kind of guy. Can you give me more detailed instructions please?

[@nesiditsa Participant 8 years, 5 months ago]

@dayan89, sorry, i forgot to tell you about a second patch – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5392. It’s repair calculating of position for new reply.

[@nesiditsa Participant 8 years, 5 months ago]

@casiepa, could you merge topic with this one? They are about same issue. Thank you!
