Embed links weird formatting

Published on February 25th, 2020 by mindylll

There is a weird problem that happened a couple of months ago, then went away, and now is happening again to random users. When someone posts a link in a forum post, sometimes it tries to embed the entire mobile version of the page they are linking to in an iframe sort of framework instead of a nice link preview. Why would this only be happening at random?

Linking to a reply in active topic

Published on February 24th, 2020 by Chuckie

Hi

I added a reply to a topic with some instructions.

Then, in my main topic I wanted to add a link to the reply so that the user could jump to see it.

For example:

https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/topic/xxx/#4784

When I click the link it does not jump to that reply. Why?

User Statistics

Published on February 23rd, 2020 by Chuckie

I know I asked about this before and the decision was to pull the plugin off line. But this is not a solution for me.

The drawback with the user statistics plugin is that if a user is not logged in they can see the usernames of all logged in people for last 24 hours. The can’t view their profiles though. None-the-less, a non logged in user should not see the user statistics.

I don’t know how to fix this plugin to rectify that. I need a resolution or an alternative plugin that works and is not commercial.

Thanks.

Change Sub-Sub Forum list

Published on February 22nd, 2020 by jimandms

Ok everyone I have searched and tried everything I have found but it all seems to be for subforums.

My problem: I have categories set up and then my forums are sub forums under that.

I have one forum that I have sub-subs under. These show as a list like forum1,forum2, forum3…

I would like the sub-subs to display like
forum1
forum2
forum3

I have the latest version of bbpress and haven’t found anything in there. I have also tried the plugins that others have suggested and they were no help either.

You can see how my forum is set up in the pic. The big list I would much rather have look like the rest of the forum but just be indented some.

Thanks for reading!

bbp-search showing private forum messages

Published on February 22nd, 2020 by webmasterfreya

WP 5.3.2
BBpress 2.6.4
Buddypress 5.1.2 (with private forums)

Hi,

When entering a registered user name via

Please enter some search terms above

, messages from this user are shown eventhough they are in a private forum and the requesting user is NOT a member of that group.
This clearly violates the privacy and should not be happening.

I have removed all occurences of

Please enter some search terms above

, and with that lost the ability to search through the forums.

To test
– create 2 users (eg user-1, user-2)
– Make user-1 member of a private forum (forum-1) and create a topic and some replies.
– Make user-2 member of anothher private forum (forum-2) and create a topic and some replies.

– create a testpage with content

Please enter some search terms above

, publish
– login with user-1
– got to testpage and search for user_2

No messages should show up, but i’m afraid they will.

Could anyone please try and get back here to share the result?

New user registration fail

Published on February 22nd, 2020 by daphnedelay

Hi! Started to advertise new forum on my site and had my assistant try it out only to discover lots of kinks (yikes!) I’m working through them but stuck on “Password reset is not allowed for this user”

She waited for an email to set password which never happened. So she tried to login without a password to force the “forgot password” reset and got the above error message. I’ve looked everywhere on the backend to allow but can’t figure it out.

I’m sad my forum isn’t working yet. Sure hope it can get going easily. Appreciate any help to make user registration seamless 🙂 thanks!

Can’t change topic attribute to Normal from Super Sticky

Published on February 20th, 2020 by artmuns

This is an odd one. I set a topic to Super Sticky but was unable to change to Normal. After Update it would revert back to Super Sticky. I was able to change to Sticky from Super Stick but still can not change to Normal.

Using Redis for Object Caching

Published on February 20th, 2020 by bigskyry

We are hosted on Kinsta and are considering testing Redis for object caching to improve bbPress performance.

Questions:

1. Any particular advice on specific recommendations for configuration?
2. Anyone else use Redis and see improvements? How did you measure those improvements?

Caveat: * we are also a membership-based site (MemberMouse) and forum posting is a privilege of certain membership levels.

subscribe to individual topics

Published on February 20th, 2020 by Tony

Hello,

We had a client claim that the used to be a subscribe button for individual topics but now disappeared. We think that it was a previous theme that had that feature.

Does anyone know what the standard is for this?

Thanks!
