    @premitheme – I’ve used and tested with PHP 5.2/5.3/5.4 without incident.

    The “Are you sure you wanted to do that?” errors come from nonce requests failing inside of the `bbp_verify_nonce_request()` function. My guess is the `$requested_url`, `$matched_url`, and `$home_url` are coming up with some kind of mismatch, causing `$result` to return `false` and the nonce check to fail.

    It’s also possible that the parsing and comparisons in `bbp_verify_nonce_request()` could use improvement. This function was modified in 2.3 to allow for reverse-proxying, which may have broken some other type of URL. If so, would love your help there. 🙂

    i seem to be a newbie at this, can you please walk me through the steps?

    You’ll want to search bbPress’s files for the above function, and test to make sure it’s working correctly. If you’re operating a site as the main developer, you’ll want to know how to touch files on the server (with an code editor, FTP program, etc…)

    Then, you’ll want to search the web for common PHP debugging techniques (var_dump(), echo(), die(), debug_backtrace(), etc…) so you can gain a better understanding of how the code you’re trusting to make your site function works.

    This is one of those times where, hopefully, a little tough love will pay in dividends for you later.

    @clickmac – You can check the results of `bbp_user_has_profile()` to make sure they are returning `true`. This is the only place in bbPress where it would specifically prevent a user’s profile from being visible (and instead invoke a 404 response) though it seems unlikely to be the cause.

    I don’t quite understand exactly what you’re describing. Can you be a bit more specific? Feel free to link to a screenshot if you think it will be helpful.

    What happens if you try a normal WordPress theme (twentyten, twentyeleven, twentytwelve?)

    Something tells me a plugin or your theme is filtering the topics query, resulting in it returning 0 results.

    The reason users aren’t allowed to delete their own posts, is because in the traditional forum sense, allowing users to modify or delete their content far after the fact can actually have negative consequences for the entire site, manipulating search results, causing 404 issues, and other URL hacks.

    If this is a feature that you need as part of your community, you’ll need to invest in having this custom feature built, or read through the code and learn how to do it yourself like the rest of us. 🙂

    Anyone having issues with MAMP, I run MAMP Pro locally, and have used it to develop bbPress since years back. MAMP isn’t the issue, something else is, and it should not have changed between bbPress 2.2 and 2.3.

    For people having issues accessing the administration area, your account needs the “Key Master” role to access the “Forums” menu, and at least “Moderator” to access “Topics and “Replies.”

    • In the past, these checks were using the `is_super_admin()` function, which would default to users with the “Administrator” role on single-site installations.
    • Those that have fixed it using the auto-role setting, bbPress is automatically granting Administrators the Key Master role.
    • Auto-role should most likely be turned on anyways; it’s only a setting to allow site-owners the option to let other role plugins handle that instead.

    People wanting to go back to using an old version of bbPress, I’d highly advise that you troubleshoot your installations and stick with 2.3. Rolling back is a temporary fix that doesn’t help track down what’s going on; when we’re willing and available to help you figure out what is going on, it’s best to take advantage of the free support instead.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Posts aren’t “moved” between installations or versions. In fact, from any 2.2 to 2.3, there are no changes to the database at all.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    There is no easy on/off switch to enable/disable this, unfortunately. It would take a bit of code to make it work (a custom plugin, etc…)

    Hi Patti,

    Sounds like you may be a bit confused. bbPress.org is the support forums specifically for bbPress, which is a sister project to WordPress.

    Unless your sites are hosted on WordPress.com, any issues you’re having logging in are specific to your installations, and not to any central server anywhere.

    i have to pay for this?

    Hopefully not. A quick Google search found this plugin, though I’m not sure how well it works.

    bbPress disables shortcode execution within it’s output, so that non-privileged users can’t gain access to all of the shortcodes available within WordPress. The problem is that shortcodes don’t come packaged with role/capability restrictions on their usage, allowing anyone that can create topics or replies to use any available shortcode. This is risky, so we globally disallow them.

    `bbp_author_ip` accepts an array of arguments that allow you to change the before and after.

    Use it like:

    `bbp_author_ip( array(
    ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_reply_id(),
    ‘before’ => ”,
    ‘after’ => ”
    ) );`

    There were a few issues related to this that are fixed for bbPress 2.3. You may want to look into the release candidate, and see if it’s fixed these issues for you.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Keymaster

    bbPress 2.3 will come with an improved TinyMCE experience, similar to what you see here at bbPress.org.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Keymaster

    Try the 2.3 release candidate. It should work the way you want it to.

    s’il vous plaît contacter l’auteur du thème, et lui demander d’y remédier. ce n’est pas un bug bbPress, mais il peut y avoir incompatibilité.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Keymaster

    Can you try these same things with 2.3 RC 1, and let me know if you have any luck? Lots of little issues like these have been fixed since November 2012, so it’s possible 2.3 will fix these for you.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Keymaster

    There’s a sticky topic about this effect already. You may also want to try 2.3 RC1.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Keymaster

    I don’t understand what you’re trying to do.

    Edit the file in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core

    the file to edit is called capabilities.php

    Incorrect; *never* edit any files in bbPress’s directory; you’ll lose those edits when software updates come in.


    @anallabres
    – Research how WordPress’s actions/filters/plugins work. It’s a little dizzying at first, but a few lines of code can get you up and running.

    Sign-ups are disabled here. They come in via WordPress.org, and having no role here yet, they post, and Akismet seems to miss a bunch of them in waves.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Keymaster

    Neat!

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Keymaster

    I can assure you, Akismet is installed and running. The problem is that we get hit so incredibly hard all day long, that the small percentage that make it through is still considerably large and very annoying.

    bbPress doesn’t come with any advertisements. Can’t tell if this topic is spam or not, since it doesn’t include any details.
