with 5.2.6 all widgets are out

A temporary fix is in the main plugin file: bbp-style-pack.php

Copy Lines 403 & 404 and then comment it out like this (or delete them altogether):

                        // include(BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/includes/shortcodes.php');
                        // include(BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/includes/widgets.php');

Then paste those 2 lines within the “frontend-only files” starting on line 412, so it looks like this:

                // frontend-only files
                if ( ! is_admin() ) {
                        include(BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/includes/buddypress.php');
                        include(BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/includes/functions_bugs.php');
                        include(BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/includes/functions_topic_count.php');
                        include(BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/includes/shortcodes.php');
                        include(BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/includes/widgets.php');
                }

This will be patched in the next release, but those code changes will hold you over until then.

@oscowordpress1 – I’m pushing version 5.2.7 to @robin-w now. Until it’s released officially, you can download it directly from here:

https://github.com/codejp3/bbp-style-pack/archive/refs/heads/5.2.7.zip

I’d love to hear if you still have any other issues after updating to 5.2.7!

NOTE: To make sure you don’t have multiple versions of the plugin installed, follow the directions posted here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/styling-issue-26/#post-16435819

5.2.7 just released !

I have just released version 5.2.9 which should now all work as it should.

Please let me know if you get any further issues – if you do, then go to

dashboard>settings>bbp-style-pack>Forums Index Styling and just click ‘save’ then this will correct.

But I need to make sure this step isn’t needed, so let me know

Hello,

I was really, really happy with the widgets though they also disappeared on my site, I followed this thread, waited for the update you mentioned, updated, let another week go. And…. they are still missing for me.

Since I waited for the update I didn’t change the PHP provided. Do you still recommend to do it?

Just subscribing for follow up

@litzelmann

No. They have been applied to the past 3 updates so there’s nothing for you to do at this point.

I’m digging into widgets and shortcodes now. Question:

Are you still having issues with specific widgets/shortcodes, or all of them?

Thank you for your answer. I was only using Recent topics widget, but I can’t find any now in Appearance > Widget

I don’t use the shortcodes

OK. I’m on it. Should have a fix for you later today.

@litzelmann – have you upgraded to 5.3.0?

@codejp3 – I moved /includes/widgets.php to line 326, as it is needed in both back and front end to work

@robin-w good to know, but I’m still going to test widgets and shortcodes thoroughly today. If there are any lingering issues, I want them wrapped-up. If there are no issues, then perhaps I can help @litzelmann figure out why they’re having issues on their specific server/site.

Topic: Lost widget in bbp Style Pack · bbPress.org

@codejp3 – you might want to keep an eye on this one as well as it is the same issue, which is what got me looking again at the code

@codejp3 oh and if you see a spare line in the single forum information widget on the user side, don’t worry I have a fix planned in 5.3.1 for that

Yes that last update brings the widgets, they just had to be re-added – reconfigured.
That was efficient ! Thank you.

Love your plugin
