I have recently installed BBPress into my WordPress theme, and have been having a few problems with spam registrations. Basically people are creating accounts, and in their profile text the are adding links to external sites. I would like “nofollow” to be added to these links by default, though nothing I have found on this forum has worked. I have added various things to my functions.php file as instructed by people here – none have worked. Can anyone help with this?

This something we could look at implementing into the core of bbPress, could you create a ticket in Trac for this and we can take a closer look at the issue.

I would also like to hide the “/members” page form being publicly accessible – is this possible?

This part is BuddyPress 😉

I don’t know of any off the top of my head.

Have you tried searching for one?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

The main bbPress conditional tag is is_bbpress

Try <?php if ( !is_bbpress ) : ?>

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

You currently cannot set this to be the default, the forum administrator needs to set these permissions when creating the forum.

I made a custom import for minibb.

Cool 🙂

I just did my first test import and it took like 12 hours to finish.

How big is your forum? (i.e. number of topics and replies)

Now I want to know if it’s possible to import only the latest post, topics etc instead of doing a complete import when I want to go live?

No it is not, my suggestion would be to copy your database and then cut it down to only the topics & replies you want to import directly with MySQL

And here is my ‘work in progress’ bbPress miniBB.php importer 🙂 https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7889409 🙂

EDIT: I should add that mine has a few issues and I know it doesn’t quite work 🙁
If you have some tips to fix mine up that would be great as we could then include it in bbPress.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

This issue should be fixed in bbPress 2.5, please update your plugin and let me know if you still have issues.

Lets keep this conversation in one place and see my reply here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-ask-question-in-bbpress-forum-wont-post-help-1?replies=3

Can you please create a ticket on Trac for this please

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ (Use the same wordpress.org/bbpress.org username and password)

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Fixed, thanks for the report 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Thanks for the report and you are correct it should still be an accurate count after running the repair tool. Could you create a ticket n Trac for this and I’ll take a look and see if I can get it fixed for the next release.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

We have an open ticket on Trac on what is and isn’t in the widgets and the potential option to merge everything into a single widget. If you have any additional thoughts not yet covered so far please feel free to add your own thoughts 🙂

If you are going to make changes use a custom bbpress.css file in your theme so updates don’t override your changes 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Try running the ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ repair tool.

https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

It also looks like you are using another plugin to control access to bbPress forums.

What is this plugin and does it work with bbPress’ roles?

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

That said one of the strings ‘You must be logged in to create new topics’ IS translated here so it might be the case of updating your translations.

Details to update your translations are here https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

I would also look at the 115 of 1034 strings yet to be translated looking at the details here and get those translated and then contact your local Hebrew translation team via https://he.wordpress.org/contact/ to get the strings approved.

I’d suggest you create yourself a test user and go from there:

Do this with all your plugins disabled except bbPress, BuddyPress and bbPress Advanced Capabilities, I’m also presuming you are not also using S2/Members or any other plugin of this type.

* Sign up as a new user just as a new user would
* Now as ‘admin’ check the user role & caps via bbPress Advanced Capabilities (Should be none)
* Logout & Login as this new user
* Now as ‘admin’ check the user role & caps via bbPress Advanced Capabilities(Should now be Participant)

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Follow the steps to copy the template files that you need to customize as per this:

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Primarily it will be loop-single-reply.php but you will need to look at a few of the other templates also.

Before Line #45:
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>
After Line #45:
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => false ) ); ?>

Around that same area in that file you will want call whatever WooCommerce function you need to display the users group.

eg. <div><?php woo_user_group( userid() ); ?></div>
(I have no idea what functions WooCommerce use)

I’m not entirely following what it is your trying to achieve, in your original post you wrote

I want to be able to change the role to something i decide, like for example the “group” the user is a member of…

…you can see what I’m talking about on this. I need to change Key Master, participant, etc

If you need to change these names ‘Keymaster’, ‘Participant’ etc these are the role names that are defined by the names of your user roles.

And now you write

this is not what I want to do though. I don’t want the role names to appear in the profile, I want my “group” names to appear.

What ‘group’ names, are you talking about BuddyPress groups?, if not what plugin are you using to assign users to groups?

Your example link shows nothing obvious to me about any ‘group’

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

What version of Xenforo are you importing from?

Do you see anything like ‘Starting Conversion’, ‘Converting Forums’, ‘Converting Topics’ etc?

If you don’t see the above confirm your Xenforo database configs to use with bbPress importer via your Xenforo config.php file.

/public_html/xenforo/library/config.php

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

How were you doing this previously?

As far as I am aware the recent update should not have broken any of this functionality.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

@svcslzysh Thanks for letting us know it is now fixed.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

You could use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/

Or you can use this plugin https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7864894

Or just add the code from the plugin to your themes functions.php or bbpress-functions.php file.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
	return array(

		// Keymaster
		bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Keymaster Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
		),

		// Moderator
		bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Moderator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
		),

		// Participant
		bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Participant Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
		),

		// Spectator
		bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Spectator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
		),

		// Blocked
		bbp_get_blocked_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Blocked Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )
		)
	);
}

You could create a new role for your users based on the participant role without the publish_topics role.
