ok, so can you just say how you are doing uploads? ie what process
ok, so can you do then middle bit to prove whether a participant can upload a psd file
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
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??

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
ok, you said earlier that keymasters were allowed – what combination allows upload?
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
If that plugin is 8 years old, it will be for bbpress version 1, so chances are it will not work with current version
new error on old site? only just installed bbpress?
new error on old site? only just installed bbpress? what version of bbpress and WordPress?
depends on what you mean by safe?
in virus terms, it is as safe as allowing guests to comment on posts. On saving, WordPress checks for code, but there is never 100% guarantee.
The revolution slider plugin was the route used to get the Panama Papers, but it has to be said that there firewall was crap, so you can never consider WordPress to be 100% secure.
The most common issue is spam and links to bad sites – expect to get these and need to keep an eye out for them.
bbpress just uses WordPress login, so suggest you investigate authentication of WordPress
google around – I got
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/268665/set-up-wp-authentication-from-external-api
from a google of ‘wordpress login using 3rd party credentials’
thanks for reporting back!!
a question for WordPress.com – I’m afraid I have no idea
not with css I’m afraid.
you will need to know how to transfer files to/from your site using ftp. If so then
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
remove lines 32-35 ie
<p>
<label for="bbp_anonymous_website"><?php esc_html_e( 'Website:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_website" value="<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>" size="40" maxlength="200" name="bbp_anonymous_website" />
</p>
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
if you are not familiar with css, then suggest you use my style pack plugin
bbp style pack
in settings, you’ll find a tab for the topic/reply form
ok raise it is their forums
BuddyPress
that kinda assumes that the authors have planning meetings, and have project management charts with planned release dates etc. That’s not the way almost all open software authors work.
Most fix tickets that break their software, and then pick items that interest them, which can vary from day to day.
That this one remains as a ‘future release’ shows that it has not been rejected, but also no one is working on it or has been assigned to work on it.
That is the best that anyone can say 🙂
so it is not a simple no.
the trac ticket says that it is in the pipeline for a future release.
The software is worked on for free by people in their spare time, and with the best will in the world, I don’t think you can ask people to make commitments on when this might (or might not) be done.
ok, I can only suggest 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
great – glad you are fixed
bbPress – Moderation Tools
still works as far as I know.
great – glad you are fixed
probably theme related – sorry we cannot fix every issue with every user 🙂
