After updating 2.6.3, the following error occurs.

Notice: Undefined variable: topic_id in E:\xampp-2\htdocs\test\wp2\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\replies\template.php on line 456

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.

Just after upgrading to v2.6.2 we noticed also, the server seems to get intermittently very slow every now and then – but seemingly always when posting a new topic or a new reply (slow as in 1-2 minutes, sometimes longer).

Members keep hitting SUBMIT on topics and replies multiple times, resulting in multiple posts / replies.

That has never happened before – it is a standalone site on a powerful server, and so we can clearly attribute this to this upgrade.

Any ideas, please?

Hello,

after upgrading to v2.6.2 we now see all topic posts smaller than before, indented by the options above each topic. This is for the topics only, all replies to the topics look normal.

For admins with more options, it reduces the topic width to 50% … so it is an issue.
For all regular members with only 3 available options, topic width is reduced by ~20%.

Here is a screenshot – the pics and video at the left should fill out the entire width:

Latest version of WordPress and all other plugins.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hello,

Is there any function or something for the nickname field to take data from username field and possible to save the profile? I’ve tried everything but I can’t do it.
I don’t want users to be able to change their name at all times, but only administrators will be able to change it through the dashboard.

I am editing bbpress form-user-edit.php in my child-theme. But still got only ERROR: Please enter a nickname.

		<div>
			<label for="first_name"><?php esc_html_e( 'First Name', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'first_name', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="last_name"><?php esc_html_e( 'Last Name', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'last_name', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<input type="hidden" name="nickname" id="nickname" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $profileuser->user_login ); ?>" disabled="disabled" class="regular-text" />
		</div>

Thank you.

Kinda new to BBPress

Looking to set up my forum almost exactly like this forum where a member of my site can start a formum – read and respond to all other forums but not have the ability to edit others forums……

now Ive installed BBpress created 2 topic but in my user created account i cannot see the topics – just says that I havent subscribed to any topics but the topics Dont show

also I have noticed that if you are not logged in you cannot view the forum links anywhere on my site …. only when logged in it it appearing.

I’m having an issue where i’ve got nested replies enables with limit of 2 and when you click ‘reply’ on a reply, it shows the textarea box for a second then jumps back to the bottom of the page back to the global reply?

Can anyone help me here or had this experience before?

WordPress 5.3 bbpress 2.6.2

Hi,
I would like to create a link to the list of subscribed topics in the page menu in a bbpress forum. Since I use wp user manager as logon widget, unfortunately this does not include it. The bbpress login widget is not used because you can not upload a photo when editing the profile and because many fields are displayed that I do not use. Wp usermanager I could restrict to the fields User-Display-Name, Firstname, Lastname and E.Mail-Address.

In order to be able to display lists like subscriptions and favorites, I would like to create the following link in the sidebar that works in my text widget:
“Abonnierte Themen”

“Test-1234” is a sample user that works with the above link in the text widget .. “test-1234” should be replaced by a variable with the display user name, thus linking each logged in user to his own subscription list leads.

Or would it be better to write a plugin widget? Then I’ll learn how to do.

Since I am new to WordPress and bbpress and also have little experience with PHP, I ask for help how to solve it.
Thank you and greetings from the Lake of Konstanz,
Klaus

WordPress crashes happen very rarely but when they do, they can cause a great deal of stress. Fortunately, they are most often very easily fixed without any loss of content.

It has been my experience that 99% of the time any issues with WordPress is plugin related. A site may work fine for a while, then an update in either the WordPress program or a plugin will cause an incompatibility issue causing the database to fail. Troubleshooting a WordPress crash is very easy and you can be back up and running in a few minutes. The first, and most obvious place to start is to look at any recent changes you may have made, an update or a new plugin installation. Sometimes though, it is not so obvious. Travel Fast

Steps to troubleshooting a WordPress crash:

Since you most likely will not be able to access the dashboard of your WordPress installation, you must have access to your files either through an FTP client or from the File Manager in your web hosting cPanel. Navigate to the wp-content folder in your file manager or ftp.
Open that folder and inside you will see a plugins folder.
Rename the plugins folder plugins.bak
Create a new folder (directory) and call it plugins.
Check your website. If the website now loads, you have verified that it is indeed a plugin compatibility issue.
If you are running an older version of WordPress, now is a good time to upgrade to the latest, most stable version.
Once the latest version is installed, you can begin to troubleshoot to find out which of your plugins is causing the incompatibility issue.
Reinstall your plugins one at a time. After each installation, test your site to make sure it is still working properly. Update each plugin to the newest version if there has been an upgrade made available.
If at any time during this process your WordPress crashes again, you know you have found the culprit. Simply access your cPanel or FTP again and delete the plugin.
You will need to either download a newer version of that plugin directly from the developer source or wait for an update to become available for it before you can install that plugin again.
Most plugin developers work tirelessly to keep their plugins up-to-date with the latest versions of WordPress, but occasionally an update is a little slow in coming or the WordPress update is a major one that has changed the core functions of the program and the developers have not been able to keep up.

Steps to take when the WordPress crash is not plugin related:

If you have tried the above and the troubleshooting has not been a plugin issue, there are two other areas you can try.

Go into your cPanel and into the MySQL panel that will bring up the list of databases installed on your account. Click on the restore/repair database. If the crash was due to damage to your database, this should correct the problem.
You should have a database backup on file. (install a plugin to take care of this on a regular basis if you haven’t already) You can do a database restore from your backup file. If you have not been in the habit of backing up your sites, and you do not have any backup files, I am sorry to say that you may have lost your website. You will need to contact support to see if they have any recent backups or if they can offer any support.
It really is important that you keep your WordPress up to date and update your plugins as often as soon as the new versions are made available. Most importantly, you should backup all files before doing any kind of updates or upgrades. The plugins available today make this process automated. Set it up when you install your blog and you will never have to think of it again. It will do the backups and email them to you weekly so you will be prepared in just such an instance.

I have a brand new WordPress site v5.3 and just installed bbPress v2.6.2. I’m using the Twenty-twenty theme (one of the official WP themes). The site isn’t public yet so I don’t want to include a link.

bbPress seems to be functioning ok on my site but the font size is tiny, much smaller than the type on other parts of the WP site. I can’t see any way to adjust it.

Did some searching on the bbPress site and I guess the font size can be changed in CSS files but that’s a little too deep for me right now. Is there something else I can do? I’m willing to use a different WP theme if that would help.

If it absolutely must be adjusted in a CSS file can you help me finding the right file location?

Thanks so much!
