Syntax error unexpected ”bbpress” (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING)

Published on August 2nd, 2019 by favog

I’m really confused as to what would have started to generate this error. BBPress has been running on this site for the last couple of years. The only thing I know that changed is the version of PHP to 7.3.7. WP version is 5.2.2

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ”bbpress” (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ‘)’ in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-replies.php on line 18

I am a programmer, but I do very little PHP, so any suggestions would help.

Thanks!

Make full path URLs in forums and topics?

Published on August 2nd, 2019 by thomaslindvig

I have the prefix /forum set, and I want my forum URLs to be full path URLs, like this:
example.org/forum/MainCategory/ChildCategory/ChildChildCategory/the-topic

An example could be this topic URL:
cars.com/forum/Europe/VW/Golf/how-to-repair-the-steering-wheel

And of course the topics’ forum URL should be
example.org/forum/MainCategory/ChildCategory/ChildChildCategory/

Right now my topics are
example.org/forum/topic/the-topic

Wordpress: 5.2.2
Bbpress: 2.5.14

Is BBPress Still Current for 2019 & Beyond?

Published on August 2nd, 2019 by theatereleven

I typically use Discourse for my forums, but would like to set one up in WordPress directly. I know BBPress has stood the test of time and is hard core WordPress, used by people like Elliot for AdvancedCustomFields support.

But is development planned for the future? I just don’t want to sink a lot of time into something that isn’t going to be supported. I’d gladly pay for BBPress… Whatever. Just want to know there’s a future.

For example. in this box I can’t add an image via a simple paste in. That’s a big deal for support forums where screenshots are used.

Thanks anyone for advice on this!

New site admin, no keymaster role

Published on August 1st, 2019 by rock714

www.t-34.com
bbPress Version 2.5.14
WordPress 4.8.9 running Sahifa theme.

I just recently took over admin and cleanup of the above site. My role is Administrator, Participant in WP. I am not able to delete some forums that have aged quite a bit and have no activity. When I try to access the forums for administrative cleanup I get the following message:

“Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.”

I noted that the previous admin has Administrator, Keymaster role. I have searched through every menu, plugin and widget possible but the option of Keymaster does not seem to exist anywhere so I cannot promote myself to Keymaster.

I have tried to use the change forum role but the only options are Moderator, Participant, Spectator and Blocked. I also created a new user with Administrator role, then edited the user but the only options under forum role are Moderator, Participant, Spectator and Blocked.

Kinda stuck here. Any suggestions?

Using Moderator

Published on July 31st, 2019 by cdwed

How do I enable a moderator for my forums? I have been the Auto-Role feature in Settings. However a Spammer keeps getting into the forum and I have to enable a moderator to approve forum action.

WP: 5.2.2

Migration and Export

Published on July 31st, 2019 by duchesscorp

We migrated one of our sites from Ultimate Member to BuddyPress because UM conflicted heavily with our custom plugin. Started with a fresh site for the most part and exported data because there are over 750 users on the site. Everything worked fine except exporting bbPress data. All the forums, replies, and posts show up in the admin but they will not show up on the front end. I can see the forums but if you click a link it says no topics or replies but in the backend, you see topics and replies. We’ve tried everything we can think of from removing metadata from Ultimate Member’s leftover data to deleting all the data and doing fresh imports. Same result every time.

The link is https://junipersl.com/community but I’m not sure how helpful it will be since the forum is members only. You can see some information but it’s like…it shows there are topics and replies but when you click, you get the error “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

bbPress 2.5.14-6684
WP 5.2.2
Beaver Builder Theme

Any insight would be amazing.

My forum doesn’t look like a forum

Published on July 30th, 2019 by jeepcreed

Hello, just installed and activated bbpress with several extensions to improve functionality; however, my forum page does not look like a forum at all. I even set up the bbpress sidebar, and it isn’t showing either. I’m using WordPress version 5.2.2 and bbPress version 2.5.14. The link to my staging site where I am testing this is www.jeepcreed.com/stagingnew/forums

Posts Can No Longer Be Edited!

Published on July 30th, 2019 by armyadarkness

Anyone else have issues with this? I have three active topics in my Forum, and if you make a post in 2 of the 3, you can go back and edit it… However, now, in my main “busy” topic, posts aren’t editable.

When you click on edit, it takes you to the edit page, but then it doesn’t display properly and it notifies you that “The site is experiencing technical difficulties”. But according to Word Press and the other topics, it is not.

Users cannot reliably post links

Published on July 29th, 2019 by a7xfanben

Users on my forum are having trouble posting links, both linked text and as bare URL’s in the post. I would like all users to be able to post links.

I tried a test post with a link with a non-admin account, and it didn’t work. The post doesn’t even show up. With my main account that is subscribed to that topic, it shows a notification for a new post there, but there is no new post, seemingly due to having a link in it.

Thanks!
Ben
