I’ve released version 6.2.6 which does that function in a different way, so should take out the issue detailed above.

Please confirm in due course

I got blocks everywhere going – see

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-enable-gutenberg-blocks/

Great – glad to have helped

no problem.

I personally hate the admin panel at the top, it leads you to areas that are ‘backend’ and not really meant for ordinary users. There is code and plugins that will hide this eg Hide Admin Bar – WordPress plugin | www.ads-software.com

I tend to suggest that you use the settings in dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login to add items like edit profile to the menu. Many themes have a ‘top’ menu which you can add these to.

If you want to have the bbpress profile instead of the wordpress one on the admin bar, then in dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login and check item 6. Having just rechecked this, it is showing twice on my test site, so I’ll take a look at this later!

so does the ‘notify me’ not work after installing the mentions plugin, or has it always not worked?

no setting, sorry – this is how WordPress works – it is a check on loading plugins which is done on every page,

the reason you are now seeing this is following WordPress 6.7 which does some things differently.

That particular check will not affect how you are using bbpress unless you are using an old version.

Thanks, I will look at this, but I am away for 2 weeks on Friday, with no computer access, and with 7,000 sites using this plugin, I cannot risk an update until I come back in early March.

Quite happy that your hoster knows what they are talking about, but some of their solutions are a catch 22 for the purposes I am using it. eg get_home_path() requires WordPress file that is not available when I need to use it, and the recommended solution is to load a wordpress file using ABSPATH which is the cause of the problem. I could use WP_CONTENT_DIR but WordPress say that plugin authors should not be using this etc.

Quite happy that I should be able to find a solution, but need time to devote to working out the best.

if you click on any user link ib your forum you should go to the bbpress profile page.

on @mentions – this plugin is old, and not sure it works any longer.

bbPress Mentions Email Notifications – WordPress plugin | www.ads-software.com

thanks – who is your hosting company?

 $args['user_id'] = bbp_get_user_id( get_current_user_id(), true, true );
        $args['object_id'] = bbp_get_forum_id();
        $args['object_type'] = 'post';

        // render the button with arguments
        bbp_user_subscribe_link( $args );

should get you most of the way there. suspect there is a favorite link much the same

nothing readily available

but

yes, it will get overwritten so keep a note of this thread.

But they have said they will be incorporating the fix in the next release, so hopefully that should all be ok, but if not, just add it back !

I also do support for bbpress, so that is a really helpful answer – thanks for posting.

This did work for a short while, but no longer.

This actual forum (the one I am typing this reply in now!!) uses bbpress, gutenberg 17.9 (current version is 20.x) and the ‘blocks everywhere’ plugin, and the wordpress-org theme but I have been unable to get it to work on my test site. They are using WordPress 16.8 (a test version) and that may have an effect.

The blocks everywhere author says that it only works with a limited set of the gutenberg plugin.

So I did get it working with this combination :

Plugins:

bbpress latest version

Blocks everywhere – latest version

Gutenberg version 16.7

to get this go to Gutenberg (advanced view) – WordPress plugin | www.ads-software.com and at the bottom undere ‘previous versions’ select 16.7.0 and download. Then use the add new plugin>upload plugin to add the zipped file you downloaded.

Theme:

I think a non block theme is needed. It works with twentytwenty (non block theme), but not twentytwentyfive (block theme)

see https://www.codeable.io/blog/wordpress-full-site-editing/ and look at the section ‘block themes’ for an explanation.

It did not work with any of the FSE themes I tried. This is a conflict between the earlier version of Gutenberg and FSE.

If you are not using bbp-style-pack, bbpress will not work with a block/FSE theme, so if you are not using stye pack and bbpress is working, then you are not using a block/FSE theme, and this solution may work.

If you are using bbp-style-pack then if you are using a block/FSE theme, you will have a ‘theme support’ tab in dashboard>settings>bbp style pack as the first tab, and in that case I think you cannot have the Guttenberg editor – if you succeed in making this work, please post below with what theme you are using.

ADDITIONALLY

you need to be able to change wp-config – see Blocks Everywhere – WordPress plugin | www.ads-software.com Occitan page for instructions

Hope you can get it working as well.

We have submitted the change required to Learndash.

If you are into code the fix is in learndash-bbpress\includes\class-dependency-check.php line 119 – the line needs changing from

$plugin_header = get_plugin_data( trailingslashit( str_replace( '\\', '/', WP_PLUGIN_DIR ) ) . $plugin_key );

??to

$plugin_header = get_plugin_data( trailingslashit( str_replace( '\\', '/', WP_PLUGIN_DIR ) ) . $plugin_key, false, false );

This then prevents translations being loaded at that point (too early) and fixes the issue.
