bbPress.org

At the top of the forum where it says latest update by XX, it’s showing the latest post even though the post/topic/reply has not been approved yet/still pending. This is causing confusion. Any idea how to fix that? I only want to show the latest approved message time/user, not the ones that are still pending.

Hi,

On my forum archive page I’d like to grab the latest topic permalink and title only on certain forums. Using bbp_topic_title() and bbp_topic_permalink(), how do I get only the latest topic?

I had to downgrade but update does run on dev site. Im not sure why its crashing live site? Never got to database conversion just installed update and then crashed. Only option was to downgrade back to 2.5. any ideas why this would happen? Should i try 2.6.1 first maybe?

So I am using this extra function so that extra HTML tags are not stripped for non-admin users:

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(

		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'href'     => true,
			'title'    => true,
			'rel'      => true,
			'class'    => true,
			'target'   => true,
		),

		// Quotes
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite'     => true,
		),
		
		// Div
		'div' => array(
			'class'     => true,
		),
		
		// Span
		'span'          => array(
			'class'     => true,
			'style'     => true,
		),

		// Paragraph
		'p'          => array(
			'dir'    => true,
			'style'  => true,
		),
		
		// Code
		'code'       => array(),
		'pre'        => array(
		'class'      => true,
		),

		// Formatting
		'em'         => array(),
		'strong'     => array(),
		'del'        => array(
			'datetime' => true,
		),

		// Lists
		'ul'         => array(),
		'ol'         => array(
			'start'    => true,
		),
		'li'         => array(),

		// Images
		'img'        => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'src'      => true,
			'border'   => true,
			'alt'      => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'width'    => true,
		),

		// Tables
		'table'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'bgcolor'  => true,
			'border'   => true,
		),
		'tbody'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'td'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tfoot'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'th'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'thead'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tr'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'video'      => array(
			'controls' => true,
			'width'    => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'source'     => array(
				'src'    => true,
				'type'	 => true
			)
		)
	);
} 
// ==============================================================

Notice the section at the end for videos? This is the issue. These videos are inserted using the TinyMCE Video plugin. Once it is inserted it looks something like this:

<video controls="controls" width="300" height="150">
<source src="https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/videos/forum/pts-test-video.mp4" type="video/mp4" /></video>

The problem is that for a non-admin user the < and /> wrapped around the source tag is getting escaped. Thus the syntax is not correct and the video module will not play.

Robin suggested I switch off moderation:

add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );
And to try removing this filter:

remove_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'bbp_filter_kses', 30 );

But i can’t get it to work. The only way to insert one of these videos is if a admin user does it so that the escaping of the source tag does not happen.

Can this be resolved?

It is not a bug with the TinyMCE Video plugin. It is a bug only with non admin users inserting the videos. I assumed BBPress is escaping the inner content. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

Hello !

After a backup recovery of my website, all the emojis used in pages / post / forums were transformed into ????

So, I could correct my posts and pages because the “????” where only a few, but on my forums, they are too many, so I just want to replace the “????” with ” ” so that we don’t get bothered by this issue.

So : Do you know a way to search / replace text in all bbpress topics & replies ?

I have been trying with the plugin Word Replacer, but it doesn’t remove the “????” in database and need to always be running to make the replacement which I want to avoid (I just want to edit all of those ???? and save that change forever).

Do you know other plugin/alternatives I could use to remove those “????” (or make my emojis come back again, which would be awesome 😀 ) !

Thank you for your help !

Hi there!

I’m trying to get a bbpress forum set up on my site, and while we’ve got the majority of it set up the way we’d like, there’s an issue when someone tries to access the forum via mobile/smartphone.

The reply box seems to overflow over the edge of the screen, such as in this picture:

I tried to adjust the width of the bbpress-topic-form using the Custom CSS on my theme, but while this seems to work for narrow browser windows on desktop, the mobile view remains the same as it does in the picture above.

For reference, this was the code I was trying:

@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  #new-topic-0.bbp-topic-form{
    width: 50%;
  }
}

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what might be going on here? I’m running the Gridmag theme (not pro) at the minute, could that be causing a conflict?

Am really new to bbpress, How do i fix an old topic becoming a first topic when a member makes a reply on it?

i my forum, there are different topics made by members, on daily bases but i found out that when a new member replies to an old topic, that topic automatically moves to the top of other new topics…
this is a pain. pls is there a code to stop this, i don’t need plugins for it.

How to add captcha when creating topics or leaving replies after I check the “Allow guest users without accounts to create and replies”?

I tried a few captcha plugins, they failed.
Thanks!

I’ve had a forum for over a year now, and it’s extremely active. It gets hundreds of posts a day and it’s filled with rich media as well. I pay Word press for the speed and space!

The topics are set to receive 20 replies per page, and we’ve hit over 30k pages this year. unfortunately, if you’re the 18th, 19th, or 20th post on the page, when you hit reply, it takes you to a blank page, with no pagination to help you navigate back to what you last read.

This is a massive inconvenience to my subscribers. It forces them to completely exit the forum, come back in, and then manually sift through a dozen pages, in order to continue. It’s not uncommon to produce 10 pages a day, so it’s a real hassle.

I’ve lost well over 20% of my following as a result. I’ve tried to hire a professional to fix it, but none of them are capable, and they all end up telling me to leave BB Press for a different platform.

What can I do?

As per the title bbPress is slow in admin. I’ve used query monitor to check what the issue is and it’s as per the screenshot. (You’ll have to open the image in a new tab if it’s too small).

The site has 9,280 users so it is not so it’s not considered a “big site” however it looks like from the documentation it’s not far off.

I have visited Tools -> Forums and manually ran the upgrade tasks (just in case they didn’t complete after the update).
