Title: w3all_phpbb_unotifications doesn’t work Last modified: January 2, 2023 --- # w3all_phpbb_unotifications doesn’t work * Resolved [Halil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/halilesen/) * (@halilesen) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/w3all_phpbb_unotifications-doesnt-work/) * Hi, it’s me again. 🙂 * After the 2.6.8 update, the code to show the notification count still doesn’t work. * I tried many php combinations. It didn’t work. plainly * ```wp-block-code ``` * When it is used, it shows 0, but there is actually a notification. * You know, I usually use it in two ways. First: * ```wp-block-code function add_notification_count_to_menu($item_output, $item, $depth, $args) { if ($args->theme_location == 'primary' && $item->title == ' Forumlar') { global $w3all_phpbb_unotifications; if (!empty($w3all_phpbb_unotifications) && count($w3all_phpbb_unotifications) > 0){ $item_output .= ''. count($w3all_phpbb_unotifications) .''; } } return $item_output; } add_filter('walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'add_notification_count_to_menu', 10, 4); ``` * latter: * ```wp-block-code 0){ echo''; } ?> ``` * Not working. Of course, these don’t show anything because they have an if. Because as I just said, notifications show 0. * I cleared the cache. I tried from incognito tab. * What do you think is the problem? * Thanks.

It should work fine ever.

I had disabled on last test yesterday, all notifications options on the user control panel, with the user i was testing. * The problem you may found is about IF the user have OR not set notifications into **Edit notification options** * Access to **Edit notification options** on the User Control Panel and Activate all options on the **NOTIFICATIONS** column then test it. * Should all work fine - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/). * Thread Starter [Halil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/halilesen/) * (@halilesen) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/w3all_phpbb_unotifications-doesnt-work/#post-16335303) * I can’t understand either. No problem with UCP. I wonder if it’s related to php, I upgraded to 8.1.x, it didn’t work, I rolled it back. I reviewed the settings. It didn’t work. Could something else be triggering it or a missing php module or something? * Plugin Author [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/) * (@axewww) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/w3all_phpbb_unotifications-doesnt-work/#post-16336372) * No it can’t be, the whole plugin code is suitable on php from 7 to 8> (and could be for 5.6 with really few line changes) * Note that once an user visit the * **Board index -> User Control Panel ->Overview -> Manage notifications** * page, the `$phpbb_user_session[0]->user_new_privmsg` var become 0. * So PMs notifications are not retrieved anymore. * To force and get by the way, you could change this line * `if( $phpbb_user_session[0]->user_new_privmsg > 0 && $w3all_phpbb_unotifications_yn == 1 )` * into file _class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php_ * changing into: * `if( $w3all_phpbb_unotifications_yn == 1 )` * so that even after visited the Manage Notification page in phpBB, unread PMs will be by the way retrieved. I do not encourage this, but you can test that it work as mentioned. The above do not affect the Topics and Posts notifications that will be retrieved until not read. * The file /wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/views/wp_w3all_phpbb_unotifications_short. php * has been just updated to add code into the condition * ```wp-block-code elseif ( $nn == 'notification_type_name' && strpos($n,'type.forum') ) ``` * when the notification is of type.forum. * [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/export/HEAD/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/trunk/views/wp_w3all_phpbb_upm_short.php](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/export/HEAD/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/trunk/views/wp_w3all_phpbb_upm_short.php) * It still lack: * **notification.type.disapprove_post** * **notification.type.disapprove_topic** - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/). * Thread Starter [Halil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/halilesen/) * (@halilesen) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/w3all_phpbb_unotifications-doesnt-work/#post-16336440) * Frankly all I want to do right now is to show the notification count. I don’t care about PMs, because if PM has already arrived, a notification comes. Then there is no need to get numbers for PM as an extra.
