Overview of the issue
When using WPML with bbPress, the Recent Topics widget does not display correctly in secondary languages. Even after translating forums and topics, the widget still shows content from the default language.
We have open a trac ticket (opens in a new tab) under the bbPress project. You can subscribe and add your comments to follow its progress.
Workaround
Workaround 1 (Recommended):
- Edit the “Recent Topics” widget.
- In the widget settings, leave the Parent Forum ID field empty instead of using ‘any’.
Workaround 2
Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.
- Open …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php file.
- Look for line 678.
- Just after, add this code:
$settings = $this->parse_settings( $instance ); // this line must stay //workaround compsupp-7407 if ( class_exists('Sitepress') && $settings['parent_forum'] === 'any' ) { $settings['parent_forum'] = ''; }
