Hi there
I recently installed bbPress on the WordPress website of our neighbourhood assistance.
We realy need this forum working since we have to coordinate assistance during the coronavirus lockdown here in Zurich (Switzerland).

It seems that there is a bug in regard to threaded replies. I checked out older topics in this support forum but nothing helped. Replies to replies do not work. if I click ‘Reply’, focus jumps to the bottom of the topic and the reply is placed there.

I appreciate any quick help very much so we can reach out to those who offer help and those who need assistance.

Wordpress: 5.3.2
Theme: Hestia
bbPress: 2.6.4
URL: https://zeitgut-zuerich.ch/forums/thema/nachbarschaftliche-unterstuetzung/

UPDATE
The expected behaviour (threaded view) sometimes works, sometimes not.
If it doesn’t I can see an error in the DevTools, which then disappears and the page is scrolled down automatically to the bottom.
Error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘scrollHeight’ of null
at Object.scrollToForm (reply.min.js?ver=2.6.4:3)

I realised meanwhile that the reply form opens where it should (i.e. right under the reply in want to write a reply to) when I click a second time on REPLY.
Very inconvenient.

Apparently this is a known bug for at least three months:

I’ve just released version 4.4.3 of my style pack plugin, which has a new tab called ‘bug fixes’ where I have added @mjonesnerdery ‘s very useful correction

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes and activate it.

@mjonesnerdery and @hoch to fix this issue add this function in the theme functions.php file

// Add adminbar blank div to fix BBPRESS jQuery issue
function add_admin_bar_div() {
  echo '<div id="wpadminbar" style="display:none;"></div>';
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_admin_bar_div',15);

Thanks @mudit-kumawat. I would add this, as admin users will still show the admin bar, so with your code we will have two divs with the same id:

// Add adminbar blank div to fix BBPRESS jQuery issue
function add_admin_bar_div() {
  if( is_bbpress() && ! current_user_can('administrator') ){
    echo '<div id="wpadminbar" style="display:none;"></div>';
  }
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_admin_bar_div',15);

@david

Thanx for the help mate!!! It really works for me.

[@mudit-kumawat Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

@frendeliko Admin bars were not being shown on my website, so you gave this code without adding conditions.  Thanks for adding conditions in my code 🙂

Thank you so much!! We have been wrestling with this issue for months now and this fixed it!
