    change

    <p>
    			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php esc_html_e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
    			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" size="40" maxlength="100" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
    		</p>

    to

    <input type="hidden" id="bbp_anonymous_email" value="anon@anon.com" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />

    that just makes all entries anon@anon.com, so it passes the email format check

    Great – I’m glad you got to a fix!!

    ok, I think I understand, but guessing form names is also possible.

    Maybe this is what you need

    Private groups

    The box does exactly what it says it does, it allows ‘GUESTS’ to publish, it says nothing about allowing anonymous posting.

    A guest to my house is someone I know or want to be able to ID and maybe contact after their visit if I need to – say because they left something or I want to ban becuase they were not nice. Just opening the doors and allowing anyone to wander round my house is not something I want.

    That is the logic behind guests.

    Now you want anonymous posting, which is fine if you want it, but it’s not how the software out of the box works. Being frustrated by this is not really something you should be, it doesn’t work how you want, but it has to work some way, and it works how most people want.

    So chill ! 🙂

    Now if you want anonymous posting, and know how to move a file between your pc and your site, then come back and I’ll help you create that.

    you’d need to amend

    \bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-user-edit.php

    These instructions show what is needed

    find
    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-edit.php

    transfer this to your pc and edit

    and save

    create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
    ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

    where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

    Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
    wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-user-edit.php

    bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

    nothing I know of out of the box.

    On this forum, spam users tend to post 2 or 3 replies before spamming a topic, so I suspect that your approach might not work.

    you could use

    bbPress – Moderation Tools

    to control initial posters, so approve them manually

    @robin-w

    What I’m trying to accomplish has to do with controlling access to various forums based on the url.

    do you want to expand on what you are planning to achieve please? Does control mean prevent ?

    @robin-w

    it could be a theme or plugin issue

    Themes

    As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

    Plugins

    If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Then come back

    @robin-w

    might well be theme related, does your theme have any bbpress templates in it?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    the latest version changed some phrases and they have yet to be added into the translations.

    you can use

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>translations

    I suspect a slow site and they are pressing then submit twice but could be something else

    @robin-w

    from where?

    @robin-w

    It’s unlikely to break, it hooks to bbpress functions that are stable.

    In reply to: New Topic page

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    you can use these shortcodes in a page

    [bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
    [bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

    Since I have no idea why you think css is an issue, then no I don’t have a better idea 🙂

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    which exact plugin are you using?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    since bbpress just uses WordPress registration, then there are a wide variety of registration plugins that will let you add things like recaptcha to prevent bot registration – just google WordPress registration plugins and have a look around eg (just an example)

    Simple User Registration

    If you allow users to register you will always have nuisance users to deal with – comes with then territory :-). I clear about 6 spam posts on here a day.

    not quite sure why you theme is displaying that.

    try this in then custom css part of your theme

    .bbpress h5.description {
    	display: none;
    }

    but check that it does not hide things elsewhere in bbpress

    google – plenty of courses on-line

    I will state again that what you are trying to do is pretty pointless.
