  • In reply to: Lost Keymaster Role

    @robin-w

    bbPress requires at least one Keymaster, and only keymasters can set other keymasters. However bbPress does allow you to change the last keymaster to another role without warning – leaving no keymasters, and no ability to set a keymaster.

    I’ve added some code in the bug fixes tab of my style pack plugin that detects if this has happened, and allows creation of a new keymaster.

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

    and you’ll see a tick box at the end.

    Once you have ticked and saved, you can deactivate and delete this plugin, but I hope you’ll find a bunch of useful things in there and keep it going šŸ™‚

    hmm.. shouldn’t alter anything unless asked.

    what part is changing?

    and no, creating a separate plugin takes a couple of hours, and then it needs maintaining, which is why I have put all the bits into a single plugin.

    no the opposite they are never subscribed.

    you can use

    bbPress Notify (No Spam)

    to get everyone to receive, but they can’t opt out !

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

    transfer this to your pc and edit as needed

    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-topic.php

    bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

    I suspect that your theme is using out of date templates, and the new topic/reply forms have a login in them, then old ones didn’t.

    If the list is not massive, can you list the files in that folder?

    I’d suggest you start with

    bbp style pack

    this will let you change fonts and loads more

    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

    this is your theme’s breadcrumb, so will depend on when/where ir is shown.

    Link to an example on your site please

    great šŸ™‚

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

    transfer this to your pc and edit

    change this from line 27

    <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" />

    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-anonymous.php

    bbPress will now use this template instead of the original, and the email address will then not be asked for.

    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 ! šŸ™‚

    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

    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 ?
