In reply to: Bug – Privacy issue between BBpress and Buddypress
Hi @daihlo,
I use bbPress with BuddyPress also. I’ve noticed that the people at “Buddy Dev”
are much more responsive than BuddyPress. I made a free account there and I’ve gotten a lot of good info from posting in their forums. They know about bbPress too. You might try them.
Hope that helps!

In reply to: Is bbPress vulnerable to hackers?I’m afraid that I can’t offer any advice on Google analytics either. My sites are hooked up to both Google Search Console and Analytics. Sometimes the notifications from Search Console make sense and I have fixed some things based on those. But I’ve never figured out how to use Analytics for anything other than just to see where people are coming from geographically.
In reply to: Is bbPress vulnerable to hackers?Hi @rvpodcast,
I’m not a WordPress, bbPress, or security expert — but I’ve been using bbPress for forums on a couple of different sites for almost 5 years now. I’m not aware of any current or recent security issues with bbPress itself. WordPress has had a number of them. I suggest looking at one of the several available “vulnerability” databases WRT this kind of thing. I mostly use Wordfence (and I also use their security plugin on all my WordPress sites).
For what it’s worth, my most active site has about 500 users. So I don’t have any experience with a really high-volume site.
It is definitely important to take some time making this decision, because once you choose your forum software, it’s not going to be easy to switch!
Hope that helps.
Mike
In reply to: blacklist_keys in bbpress functions.phpHoly cow, I can’t believe I didn’t think of that!
Yes, you’re right. When I post anything as a regular user I get the notice. And changing that line in bbpress/includes/common/functions.php does appear to make it go away. I commented on the ticket just to say that I tried it.
Thanks!
In reply to: blacklist_keys in bbpress functions.phpThat’s what I was planning to do, but I can’t replicate the problem. When I just make a couple of posts and replies, I don’t get the php notice. That’s why I was thinking maybe it wasn’t bbPress. There must be something special I need to do, to invoke the “blacklist” thing? It happens every once in a while. But I can’t find an action that causes it to happen. I gather that you don’t see it happening, right?
[10-Mar-2023 04:55:26 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Function get_option was called with an argument that is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 5.5.0! The "blacklist_keys" option key has been renamed to "disallowed_keys". in .../public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5667In reply to: blacklist_keys in bbpress functions.phpNo, it’s not a big deal. Just a deprecated notice. Is there a ticket for it (just so that it might eventually get worked on?)
In reply to: blacklist_keys in bbpress functions.phpFor what it’s worth, I can’t find a way to make the PHP Deprecated notices happen by doing any bbPress function I can think of. (What I can think of it is just to make posts and replies š ) If the notices are coming from bbPress (and maybe they’re not) I don’t know what sort of action might trigger them.
In reply to: Change bbPress toolbar, math equationsI think so, given the caveats above. You know, since you’re running an actual math forum, you might want to reach out directly to the authors of both: WP QuickLaTeX (Pavel Holoborodko) and MathJax-LaTeX (Phillip Lord, Simon Cockell, and Paul Schreiber). They might be willing to give you some extra help with their plugins. At least it’s worth a try.
In reply to: Change bbPress toolbar, math equationsI’m not sure I understand. You mean in the topic title? I just tried that and it looks like you can put math in a topic title. So, yes, if you meant the title.
In reply to: Change bbPress toolbar, math equationsHi @carlviggo,
I’ve been using this on PhysicsCafe.org.
It’s not perfect and it’s not clear how well it’s being maintained. But it’s still working for us, so far. Let me know if you find anything better. It also might be possible just to include MathJax directly on your site, although I haven’t figured out how to do that myself.

In reply to: blacklist_keys in bbpress functions.phpThanks Robin!
In reply to: Buddypress + BBpress BUG FIX requestHi @desberdin,
Is this the same issue?
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3454
Or, am I confusing two different things? If it’s the same issue you might take a look at that ticket and see if you have any comments to add to it.

In reply to: There is an error! disallowed_keys@johnjamesjacoby, any idea when this might be addressed?
In reply to: PHP VersionBut I do agree that it is very annoying that WP and many plugins don’t take these things seriously!
In reply to: PHP VersionI have everything turned on, but going into the logs. Actually I have a separate php log for error/warnings, and another one for debugging stuff like notices and deprecated. So I can see everything in the logs when needed but don’t have to wade through the notices to see the actual errors and warnings.
In reply to: PHP VersionHa — I turn on notices š
In reply to: PHP VersionThanks Robin. I kind of assumed the situation was like what you’re saying. But I just ran into some problems with another plugin (with PHP 8.1) and the authors of that one simply said they’re not supporting 8.1 yet – so no point in reporting issues. This caused me to question the situation with some of my other “main” plugins š
FYI, though our real sites are still on PHP 7.4, my test site is currently running 8.1.10 and I have not *seen* any problems with bbPress (though it doesn’t get much of a workout there).

In reply to: bbP subscription control in the BP profile?I tried the code on a test site and it appeared to work.
I updated the Track ticket.In reply to: @mention doesn’t workHi@dimitri333
Take a look at:
Regarding the (unofficial) code:
However, I think that you would have to add BuddyPress to your site to get this working. So it might not help you. I don’t think there’s anything you can do with bbPress alone.
In reply to: bbP subscription control in the BP profile?Thanks so much @robin-w!
In reply to: bbP subscription control in the BP profile?Update: I got some more info on this from the folks at BuddyDev:
If anyone can confirm this, and even point me to something in Trac that would be great.
In reply to: combination buddypress/bbpress@carasse64 you should definitely post in the BP forum as Robin said, and also I have sometimes had good luck with the free forum at: https://buddydev.com/
In reply to: identify user with @> Iām presuming that bp has that functionality somewhere …
Yeah, that must be the case.
In reply to: identify user with @@robin-w, @carasse64:
I tried it on a test site just now. I didn’t do any extensive testing, but does appear to work!
Pretty cool.
-MikeIn reply to: identify user with @I’ll be interested to hear what happens too!
