I’m running BP 1.5.5, theme bp Corporate 1.4.4, WP version 3.3.2, with multiple sites on the network. Host is bluehost, install is in a subdirectory.

Since upgrading to BP1.5.5 my group forums show all the posts with the oldest post first. (Activity stream is still newest first, thank goodness). I would like the forums to show the newest posts first, like they used to. Is this a known problem?

Yes, I DO have other plugins running and can provide a list if you need it. I can also provide the other 15+ pieces of info you ask for, but first wanted to know if this was a known issue and if it’s likely to have a simple fix.

(I do have one error showing up in my error log, in case that helps:

`[28-Apr-2012 13:40:30] WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘)’ at line 1 for query SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT cat_posts.ID ) AS post_count FROM wp_1_term_taxonomy AS cat_term_taxonomy INNER JOIN wp_1_terms AS cat_terms ON cat_term_taxonomy.term_id = cat_terms.term_id INNER JOIN wp_1_term_relationships AS cat_term_relationships ON cat_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id = cat_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id INNER JOIN wp_1_posts AS cat_posts ON cat_term_relationships.object_id = cat_posts.ID WHERE cat_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ AND cat_posts.post_type = ‘post’ AND cat_term_taxonomy.taxonomy = ‘category’ AND cat_terms.term_id IN () made by require, require_once, include, locate_template, load_template, require_once, locate_template, load_template, require_once, dev_multi_category_count`

We didn’t change anything to do with forums in 1.5.5.

Ok, thanks for responding.

But the fact is my forums now display oldest-first AND the excerpts in the Activity stream no longer have any way to link directly to them (instead you have to click on the forum name and scroll through, searching for the post you were interested in).

This is not how the forums worked last year. Do you have any hints about where I might look for a fix?

[@djpaul Keymaster 12 years, 7 months ago]

What version did you upgrade from?

[@storyaday Participant 12 years, 7 months ago]

Ack. Something pre-1.5… (Sorry, I haven’t used the site much since last August. Will try to track down the info)

Is it my imagination? Did the forums always display this way? Is there any way to change it?

Thanks for responding.

I don’t know. I was going to have a quick read of all the releases changelogs to see if there was anything super-obvious.

Thank you, you are awesome. (I am not change log fluent)
