has this ever worked or is it a new issue ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

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

I can’t see one that works with bbpress currently – I’ll try and take a look over the weekend if I get a chance

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

do you mean the number of times a topic has been viewed?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

@johnjamesjacoby 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

the thread you linked to was for an old version.

if topics are going into moderation, then you need to look at

dashboard>settings>discussion and look at the choices in there, eg Comment author must have a previously approved comment and no. links etc

sorry this is a bbpress forum – this should get you started with bbpress

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

I know nothing of buddypress, just directing you to their site

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

there must be a second check I missed – you could just change that entry to

a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}

that would do it

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

are they set up as keymasters in their profiles?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

bbpress and buddypress were written by the same people, so work well together.

Second, how do I set up the register and activate pages for BuddyPress to use?

see

BuddyPress

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

This allows any length title

add_filter( 'bbp_is_title_too_long', 'rew_dont_bother', 10 , 4 ) ;

function rew_dont_bother ($result, $title, $max, $len ){
	return false ;
}

and this reduces content

//code to limit number of characters in topic contents to 500 characters
add_filter( 'bbp_new_topic_pre_content', 'rew_limit_topic_content' );
add_filter( 'bbp_edit_topic_pre_content', 'rew_limit_topic_content' );

function rew_limit_topic_content( $topic_content )
{
    /* Check for number of characters in topic contents  */
    if (strlen($topic_content) > 500) {
		$revised_content = substr($topic_content, 0, 500);
		}	
	else {
		$revised_content = $topic_content ;
	}		
 
    return $revised_content ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Just had a chance to dig further into this – bbpress will only let a keymaster set another keymaster, so if you’re not a keymaster yourself then by default you can’t do this.

However this code should allow any admin to set a keymaster

add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_keymaster', 'rew_allow_keymaster', 10 , 3 );

function rew_allow_keymaster ($retval, $_user_id, $user_id) {
	if (current_user_can( 'manage_options' )) $retval = true ;
return $retval ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

BUT THEN TAKE IT OUT AFTER you have set up another – as it makes all admins in effect keymasters.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

can you just tell me if this is a fresh install of 2.6.5, or whether you have upgraded from 2.6.4 recently?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

contact me via

Contact me

and include a link to this thread

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

something seriously wrong !

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

yes it is buddypress

you can change the text as per below

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.
' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

so just put what you want in place of ‘new text’

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

slow down comes from a flood check function.

The flood time is set is

dashboard>settings>forums>flooding.

for this specific issue, I’d try setting that to a longer period and see if it makes a difference

Then you can disable this function using

add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_flood', 'rew_bypass_flood' ) ;

function rew_bypass_flood () {
	return true ;
}

nothing I know of, when testing I just hit the refresh button in my browser

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

great – it may well be buddypress or WordPress.

If you give me a link, I’ll register and might be able to tell from the code sent to the browser

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

I’m just a bbpress user who helps out here.

I did not respond to allow and other community members to respond if they wished.

I appreciated that you are frustrated, but you are using free software, and with that comes volunteer support. I’m not sure why you feel entitled to get someone to fix your problems for free and at a weekend.

There are 300,000 bbpress sites, and I have been offering support on this forum for 6 years, and have seen most issues that bbpress has had over the years.

I’m not sure where this message is coming from.

It is not in bbpress, and bbpress just uses WordPress registration.

It may well be WordPress (I haven’t got auto registration on any of my test sites so can’t say)

Or are you running and registration plugins, or does your theme do this, or is it WordPress.

You’ll need to do a bit more digging.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 11 months ago]

from your last post the issue seems to be your email provider only letting you have 400 emails an hour, so changing plugin will not help unless you find one that will throttle sending.
