Is there a way that I can align my featured images of the Forums on the Forums Index Page? Is there a functions.php way to do this. I got it to work if you click the Forum Category but images are not showing up on the forum index page at all. I looked everywhere and tried everything to no resolve.

Hi there,

Trying to create a new topic in Greek I am getting the message:
ERROR: Your title is too long.

The title is the following:
Αυτός ο τίτλος δεν είναι και τόσο μεγάλος, έτσι δεν είναι;

The Topic Title (Maximum Length : 80) is about characters or something else?

Any ideas to increase this length (or any ideas in general?)

Regards

Hi,

Is there in BBPress a way to setup a “new posts/activities since your last visit”? A sort of ‘mark as read’ functionality or similar?

I have searched the forum and can see that there are some topics relating to this area, but they are quite old and the majority refer to plugins that are 4 – 7 years old.

Hi
I have seen quite a few people have this issue. Everythibg in bbpress works apart from when you click replies and then the page shows a Service Unavailable error message. I have tried all the options mentioned in other posts like turning off all other plug-ins, changing the theme to Twenty Twenty and also talking to our hosting company and still cannot get it to work. The hosting company tried changing the php versions but the still gave the error message. Error 500 for php7 and error 503 for php7.2. They also checked the error logs and said there was no errors showing. It was working OK when it was a fresh installation, all we have done is add a few test topics and posts and deleted 1 reply. The it starts to give the error.

Does nyone have a solution to this that I haven’t tried?

Many Thanks
Regards
Colin

Hello
Sometimes there are questions posted in a topic and many people answer. So is there a way to make a link to a click to the best answer?
Please help. Thank you.

I am using WP Sweep and it lists unused tags. It does not test BBPress for using any of the tags.

What steps are involved to detect if a tag is used in the database with forum topics / replies

This refers to bbPress 2.6.4.

If a new user topic or reply fails bbPress moderation (either links or bad words), the end user gets no message at all. What they see is simply nothing – just the edit box again, with no indication that their post was marked as pending, and awaits moderation.

So what happens? The user reposts the same message, over and over and over. I have examples of users reposting 10 times. They eventually may ask what is going on, or go away angry.

This seems to be new behavior since 2.6, and depending on the forum admins, this behavior may seem to be mysterious. I’ve run a highly technical forum for years, and did not know about this changed behavior in 2.6 because users typically did not post with more than 2 links.

Even now knowing that, the users are still left mystified. This is very poor user interface design, and the only reasonable solution now is to essentially eliminate any moderation at all.

add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );

Much much better would be to let the user know what happened. I’ve read all the code for moderation, and can’t see any filters to override to add a message for the user.

It would be wonderful to fix this issue, and issue a “Your topic/reply is awaiting moderation.”
The moderators need to get a message as well.

Sometimes, in our forums, a post shows up twice or even three times. Is there a fix for this?

I tried to subscribe to one of my forum posts yesterday, but it wouldn’t “Take” until clicking “subscribe” about 3-4 times. The same thing happened today. I click “subscribe”, it looks like I’m subscribed, then it disappears after I reply to the thread. I had to click multiple times to get it to “take”. Do you know why this would be happening?

Hi

It’s not a big deal but, I am just curious why I am getting new registered members with usernames that are random letters.
