Hello flyden,
Which version of WordPress and bbPress are you using. I have just tested the plugin on the latest versions, and it appears to be working fine.
About the widget.
I have been busy at home with things so have not been able to get any work done lately. I am hoping to move into my new office and come back to full-time work in 1-2 weeks. This widget will be 1st priority as soon as I come back.
I see the same issue as @flyden. When I save and the page reloads it returns to the default value.
It would be nice if you could just apply this to all your forums in one go and for all in the future
Guys I need to know the version numbers of both WordPress and bbPress to figure out whats going wrong.
Hi SandyRig,
bbPress Version 2.5.4
WP version 3.9.1
@frank Warwick
I have tested it on the same versions on my local machine as well as on my client’s site, which is a multisite with many subdomains and getting thousands of hits daily. It appears to working fine. I have not had any complains in last 4 months, ever since I first installed it.
It could be having a conflict with some other plugin on your site. Can you give access to it.
OR
Please do these checks for me.
After saving to descending order, check in the database table “post_meta” if there is any key created by the name “_bbp_sort_desc”. If yes, what is the metakey value assigned to it.
You might see more than one entries as one key is generated for each forum thats sorting order is changed.
Also, thankyou for suggesting a global setting for all forum. I have started work on it.
@sandyrig
I found it and there is no metakey value assigned … what should it be?
@frank Warwick
It should be “desc” for descending and “asc” for ascending.
Could you please try and turn off all the other plugins except bbPress and then test this one.
OR
Install a fresh local WordPress copy and test.
I think its having a conflict with some other plugin.
If it works with all other plugins turned off. Try replacing “sort-replies” with “bbpress-sort-replies” on line 45 and 58, and then test with all the plugin on.
@frank Warwick @flyden
I have updated the plugin. Please check if you still have the issue with the latest version. I have also added the global option to apply sorting order to all forums.
Hi @sandyrig
I just did the update you release and it works great, the issue is resolved. Thanks for your time helping me and thanks for your time in developing this great plugin
Hi @sandyrig
As I said before the plugin works great and thanks for adding the new global feature.
I would like to make another feature request.
1. Have the form at the top of the page, currently you have to scroll to the bottom but if you are using your plugin the latest comment is at the top. ie. Make the form appear at the top of the page if descending is chosen.
can anyone help me find a way to make it so my users can decide how they want to sort the forum? this plugin works great from an administrative end but our users are basically half in half wanting it descending vs. ascending and we can’t help but make people mad.
