Hi,

I found the issue with the topics subscription.
How to reproduce this issue:
1. Subscribe to the topic.
2. Go to the topic editing in the admin area and update it.
3. Check the subscription – the subscription is deleted.

Has anyone encountered this? I tested this issue on 2 installations.

Regards.

I cannot immediately replicate this.

what exactly are you doing at step 2?

Hi @robin-w

I go to the admin area -> “topics” -> “All topics” -> choose the topic for editing -> Press the “Update” button. After that, the subscription is gone. I change nothing, just press the update button.

Regards.

ok, just tried that, I cannot replicate this on my test site

so I created a topic by ‘fred’ a participant and logged out.
I then logged in as an admin, and subscribed to the topic in the front end
I then went to dashboard>topics>all topics>edit that topic and just clicked update
I was still subscribed to the topic

Hi @robin-w

I have only one active plugin – bbPress.
Please see my screencast – https://jam.dev/c/62cd5543-8fc6-43d6-8a9e-eeeac388594a
Try checking the subscription is not from the admin.

Regards.

I am not doubting you, but I cannot replicate, so not much more I can do

Hi @robin-w

I did some more research and found this:
User 1 (role subscriber + participant) -> create “Topic 1” and subscribe (author of “Topic 1” and is subscribed on it)
User 2(role subscriber + participant) -> subscribe on “Topic 1” (just a subscribed on “Topic 1”)
Admin(role administrator + keymaster) -> edit topic through wp-admin dashboard.
After editing the topic – there is only User 2 in topic subscribers. The author of the topic is unsubscribed.

Please check these conditions.

Regards.

Hi @robin-w

Can you give feedback on my last message?

Thanks, I’ve just tested your scenario above, and yes that is a bug.

I am not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out here.

Strangely that metabox doesn’t actually let you change the subscribers, it simply lists them, not sure why 🙂

if you are using

bbp style pack

then I’ve included a fix for this in version 5.7.8.

You can also add comprehensive subscription management functionality for the backend from the ‘subscriptions management’ tab.

Otherwise you could add this code:

add_action ('bbp_subscriptions_metabox' , 'rew_set_hidden_subscribers' ) ;
add_action ('bbp_topic_attributes_metabox_save' , 'rew_save_subscriptions', 10 , 2) ;

function rew_set_hidden_subscribers ($post) {
	// Get user IDs
	$user_ids = bbp_get_subscribers( $post->ID );
	$list = implode(",",$user_ids); 

	// Output
	?>
	<input name="rew_topic_subscription" id="rew_topic_subscription" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $list; ?>" />
	<?php
}

function rew_save_subscriptions ( $topic_id, $forum_id ) {
	// Handle Subscriptions
	if ( bbp_is_subscriptions_active() && ! empty( $_POST['rew_topic_subscription'] )) {
		//update_option ($subscriptions)
		$subscriptions = explode(",", $_POST['rew_topic_subscription']);
		foreach ($subscriptions as $subscription_id ) {
			// Check if subscribed and if so do nothing
			if (bbp_is_user_subscribed( $subscription_id, $topic_id )) continue;
			else {
			bbp_add_user_subscription( $subscription_id, $topic_id );
			}
		}
	}
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
