    Hi Oliver

    My forum dissapeared, however, latest and popular (shortcodes) still shows in their designated pages. I have checked template and see that content block is indeed there. Anything happened or any ideas?

    Also would you consider lifting the Gutenberg editor into this plugin, as noone else seem to have an idea how. What I hear is that it used to work in an ancient Gutenberg, however, I wish to update my sw for future functionality…

    Thx

    Hi @hebhansen,

    My forum dissapeared, however, latest and popular (shortcodes) still shows in their designated pages. I have checked template and see that content block is indeed there. Anything happened or any ideas?

    Could you please provide more info about the issue?
    What were the steps before your forum disappeared?
    Can you provide URL to affected page?

    This plugin doesn’t affect BBPress shortcodes, so they should work with or without using Enable bbPress for Block Themes plugin.

    You mention a template and that it contains content block. What template do you mean?
    Can you provide a screenshot?
    Can you provide a list of custom BBPress templates you’ve created?

    Also would you consider lifting the Gutenberg editor into this plugin, as noone else seem to have an idea how. What I hear is that it used to work in an ancient Gutenberg, however, I wish to update my sw for future functionality…

    I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question here. Can you explain it in more details?
    What issue do you experience?

    I’ve tested Enable bbPress for Block Themes plugin with Gutenberg plugin active and there is no conflict for me. Do you experience any issue? Can you explain the issue and provide a screenshot?

    If you mean to create blocks for BBPress, then please note this is not planned for my plugin. I leave it for BBPress developers to introduce their own solution directly in BBPress plugin.
    Actually, once BBPress contains blocks, there is no need for Enable bbPress for Block Themes plugin.
    Thank you for understanding.

    If you mean to enable block editor for BBPress post types (Forums, Topics, Replies), then please check the plugin options at Settings → Forums → “Block Theme Compatibility” section.

    Best regards,

    Oliver

    Hi Oliver

    Thx for your answer. Let me break things up a bit

    1. Forum simply dissapeared from the page it used to show. I am not sure what I did but apparently something.
    2. While main forum is gone other shortcode links to latest and popular show, but the links in them do not work. So to rule things out, the main way of showing bbpress is broken, while shortcodes on other pages shows correct.
    3. Looking into “bbpress content” template (yours in the plugin). I understand that content block must be there, and it is

    So I wonder the following:

    • Is this gone from where it should be: [bbp-forum-index] and where should it be?
    • Did I delete my forum page or how is the above shortcode inserted using your plugin?
    • Do I have a conflict with the slugs defined in settings > Forum? Should I create a page with slug that matches the slug in settings? I did this and it does nothing. It just shows the shortcode as content….

    Gutenberg

    Guten does not relate to the above issue. What I want is simply to have Gutenberg editor active in forums rather than TinyMCE.

    I just activated block theme in settings > Fora. Does it require Blocke everywhere plugin to work? and is this the conflict?

    Hi @hebhansen,

    Thank you for the additional info.

    Looking at your forum page, I can see it is a bbPress Forum archive page, so it should be displayed correctly. However, I don’t know why there is this [bbp-forum-index] shortcode on your page. Have you created an “Archive: Forum” template in Site Editor and added this shortcode? If so, please delete it and make sure the template contains the “Content” block.

    Like I mentioned, bbPress shotrcodes used on pages/posts should work perfectly fine even without Enable bbPress for Block Themes plugin, just like it is on your “latest” and “popular” pages.

    However, I can see, these pages (“latest” and “popular”) use some “bbPress” page (custom?) template. I don’t know how this is possible as the “bbPress” template created by the plugin can not be assigned to a single page.
    When I use [bbp-single-view id='popular'] shortcode in a page content, I get “default” page template on the page and I can’t even choose a “bbPress” page template.

    Please understand that from your screenshot I can not say if it is showing the plugin’s “bbPress Content” template in Site Editor.

    Please understand I don’t know what is causing an issue on your website. I don’t experience any of such issue when testing the plugin.
    Can you try to deactivate all the other plugins except bbPress and Enable bbPress for Block Themes plugin to see if it helps?

    If the issue persist, please log a support ticket at https://support.webmandesign.eu/forums/forum/others/ where I can provide more thorough help (WordPress.org forums policy here restricts me from personal debugging and testing on your website, for example).

    —-

    The “Enable Block Editor” plugin option only enables block editor in WordPress admin. I don’t know how you can use block editor for creating Forums/Topics/Replies on your website front-end.
    Maybe ask WordPress Meta team for tips on how they use block editor in forums here.

    I have never heard about Blocks Everywhere plugin, so I really can’t provide any info here. Just try and test it yourself please.

    Best regards,

    Oliver

    PS: I’m closing the ticket here as further debugging and resolution need to be done via https://support.webmandesign.eu/forums/forum/others/

    Just a tip for trying Blocks Everywhere plugin:

    Although I get blocks editor in Ticket/Reply form working with this setup, the layout of my website (using a custom block theme) is completely broken (probably due to old Gutenberg version). But maybe you’ll get more luck when using Twenty Twenty-Five theme.

    Thx again – Forum is now showing I switched things back’ish, however, cache prevented things from showing correctly. After sleeping it worked.

    That said:

    [bbp-forum-index] I added to the forum page. Thats why it showed. I was following bbpress install guide. To whom it may concern. Do not add the shortcode to forum page, when using this plugin by Ollie. This plugin does that for you. In fact you do not need to create a page named “Fora”.

    Latest and popular use bbpress content template for their respective page. I have made some changes to yours default template. Tag cloud and featured image at top. Forum page has the same, but how can I add a featured image to the main forum and set my SEO. Is main forum actually a page?

    Questions since we are here:

    How do I engage the user slugs? None of them seems to work…

    Regarding Gutenberg:

    There is no way way I will skip back to 17.9.0. Automattic is the developer and I simply cannot believe that bbpress will not update for Gutenberg compatibility present day. Thx for all Oliver. I really appreciate it….
