you will need to amend a template, so need to be able to edit and ftp files.

If so, then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

change line 46 from

<?php if ( current_user_can( 'moderate', bbp_get_reply_id() ) ) : ?>
to

<?php if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) : ?>

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/loop-single-reply.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original and only keymasters will see the ip address

you are assuming that because it doesn’t work for you it doesn’t work for anyone 🙂

It works fine on my test site.

so create a new topic and subscribers to the forum get an email when a new topic is created.

If this is not happening for you, then 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

if you set forum visibility, you can then set a redirect to a page for non-logged in users and another for logged in users.

so create a page and use a contact form plugin, such as contact form 7, so they can request access to other forums, which will then send you an email.

so
install contact form plugin, there are many but contact form 7 is very popular.
create a form with maybe a drop down list of forums users can request access to
create a page and put shortcode to the form in this
set redirect in private groups to go to that page

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed!!

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 6 months ago]

presuming that is what is set in the forums settings, then 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.

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

I think if you set

dashboard>settings>forums>rss feeds per page to zero it should stop, but that does depend on how your theme an other plugins are doing the links, it may not work

agree, let’s see if Milan responds 🙂

might be worth trying one of the plugins?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

I’ve had a quick look, but could spend the rest of Christmas looking in code

I’d suggest you raise a ticket in bbpress attachments

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

ok, not a plugin I’ve looked at in detail – I’ll have a quick look later

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

so are you running an additional plugin such as bbpress gd attachments to get this browse button ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

ok, but exactly how are you uploading – what button/link/code are you doing?

Sounds a dumb question, but is relevant

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

have a look at this

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/44777/upload-mimes-filter-has-no-effect

seems maybe you can only have one text/plain entry?

the types are listed in

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_allowed_mime_types

and maybe try

add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'wpse44777_upload_mimes' );
function wpse44777_upload_mimes( $mime_types )
{
    // First we unregister the old key
    unset( $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h'] );

    // Then we add a new one
    ! isset( $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h|nvn'] ) AND $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h|nvn'] = 'text/plain';

    return $mime_types;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

ok, so can you just say how you are doing uploads? ie what process

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

ok, so can you do then middle bit to prove whether a participant can upload a psd file

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

no idea what you mean by ‘feed’?

your home page is pointing to your blogs, and it is these that are showing not forum entries?

Please explain further

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

I suspect your filer is just not working.

to prove, take the code out and recheck that the admin/keymaster still works – I’m pretty sure that that has a capability that ignores types.

Next prove that your basic code is good, so

function my_mime_types($mime_types){
    $mime_types['psd'] = 'image/vnd.adobe.photoshop'; 
    return $mime_types;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'my_mime_types', 1, 1);

and then try uploading a psd file with and without it to prove that the filter works

Finally, having written the above, it looks like nvn is NOT a mime type, according to this list??

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

ok so you’ll need to work through what capabilities let this happen

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

Roles and Capabilities

and then amend these for what you want

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

ok, you said earlier that keymasters were allowed – what combination allows upload?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

I’m pretty sure this is WordPress not bbpress, so you are looking at WordPress admin vs subscriber rather than bbpress keymaster vs. participant.

You don’t say how you added the capability

eg

https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-additional-file-types-to-be-uploaded-in-wordpress/

anyway I’d suggest you do some tests eg set up a user with

admin and participant
subscriber and keymaster

and see which is preventing upload

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

If that plugin is 8 years old, it will be for bbpress version 1, so chances are it will not work with current version

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

new error on old site? only just installed bbpress?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 7 months ago]

new error on old site? only just installed bbpress? what version of bbpress and WordPress?
