Wordpress 5.3, bbPress 2.6.3

When you create a reply to a reply, a “_bbp_reply_to” postmeta row is NOT created; so everything ends up being a reply to the main topic, as opposed to a reply to another reply.

Specifically the URL https://mywebsite.org/forums/topic/newest-topic/?bbp_reply_to=49888&_wpnonce=78c211457a#new-post

that initiates creation of the reply, the “bbp_reply_to=49888” part of the URL is not being assigned to the created reply’s metapost ‘_bbp_reply_to’ data row.

As a result, the hierarchical nature of replies is not reflected on the UI, nor in the database.

replace bbpress 2.6.3 with bbpress 2.5.14.

Create a topic, then create a series of semi-random reply-to-reply, and look at the hierarchy that is displayed.

Change to bbpress 2.6.3, and try the same thing. Create a topic, then create a random series of reply-to-reply, and some of the reply-to-reply end up being interpreted as reply-to-topic.

the other thing i’ve noticed, bbp_insert_reply() is no longer being called.
In bbpress/includes/replies/functions.php, put exit(-1); at the topic the bbp_insert_reply() function, and you will notice that the function is NEVER called.

I’m facing the same issue. Any fix?
