There is a whole wordpress group looking at GDPR compliance.

In all honesty I don’t think anyone knows what ‘compliance’ means – even the regulators in my country (UK) cannot explain it in any terms that mean anything useful. The rest of this response is just my view from a lot of reading AND NOT ANY OFFICIAL BBPRESS OR OTHER VIEW!

In general terms, your as data controller and/or data processor need to explain what personal data you hold, why, and what processes it goes through, and whether it is passed to anyone else and for what purpose, and obtain their positive consent to your holding and processing that data.

So you might on signup want to say that you gather username, firstname, lastname and email in order that you can open a user account, let the user login, be able to identify the user and communicate with them. Usernames, first and last names will be published on the site and in forum profiles, topics and replies, but email addresses will only be visible to administrators of the site. None of this information is shared with other parties, or used for any other purposes.

However I have been sent some sites guesses at a GDPR statement that run to several pages.

But most of that is wordpress related (eg what info you captured as part of registration), rather than an issue of bbpress. You may want to think about letting user a see user b’s profile, so may want to alert users to what profile information is shown, as per my attempt above.

The real bbpress issue relates to the right to be forgotten – and I have frankly given up trying to understand that. So if user x publishes lots of posts, and then asks for all their ‘personal data’ to be deleted – is stuff that they published as topics and replies for all the other users to see counted as ‘personal’, and is stuff that others posted about them ‘personal’. Given that facebook lets you close an account, but doesn’t delete comments you have made, I suspect that this is information that you have put in the public domain, rather than personal data, but I am not a lawyer ! I’d also suspect that since the papers frequently mention celebrity gaffs where they have say tweeted and then deleted some stupid comment, that again that is not personal data.

The only thing that GDPR will do is keep lawyers and consultants busy.

link to your site if possible please

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

fairly sure it will be caching

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Great – glad you are fixed, and thank you also for posting back how you resolved – that will help others coming to this topic in future

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

sorry I don’t understand the question.

you start by quoting a bbpress function, and then changing a forum and then a ?specific? topic disappears.

As a start, can you give the precise code you are using, and where you are using it, and how.

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

I added a custom css to solve the picture problem,

That’s exactly what you needed to do, it is almost certainly a theme issue, so corrective css neeed.

My PC advises not visiting you site, it’s probably fine, but prefer not to – sorry !

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

I hadn’t seen that plugin before – looks useful.

Pippin is a very experienced plugin writer (better than me!), and I just loaded and tested that plugin and it works error free and fine.

A quick look at the code shows no obvious issues with current versions of wordpress or bbpress.

It is always a problem for plugin writers to maintain their plugins – I have over 6, and whenever wordpress updates, I have 6 to test and update.

I don’t really want to take on anymore, else I’d offer to take that one over.

I’d suggest you use it – worst case at some future stage you may have to stop using it, but as I know of no other plugin that does this, you’ll be no worse off than you are now.

If it does stop working come back, and I’ll look to see how easy it is to fix, but offhand I see no reason why it will become out of date unless wordpress does some very major changes.

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

Not sure if this is bbpress or another plugin – can you list the plugins you have plaese

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

sorry, not sure what I can do to help from that description.

All I can suggest is that you check whether you have any caching software – that frequently causes issues with things showing.

If that is not the issue, then the best advice I can give is

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

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

you do need to accept that bbpress is free software with support given by other users of the software who give up their free time to help others. We cannot answer every question.

do you have a link to the appropriate pages please

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

ok, can you explain what you mean by header – which parts of that link do you want not to display

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

no problem – that’s computers for you !

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

have you cleared your cache ?

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

Untested, but try

function rew_no_reply_per_forum ($reply_address) {
	$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id() ;
	if $forum_id = 6 $reply_address =  'xxx@yyy.com' ;
	if $forum_id = 7 $reply_address =  'abd@hdhd.com' ;
	return $reply_address ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address', 'rew_no_reply_per_forum') ;

@goigishan – stop spamming this site – it doesn’t work anyway as we stop backlinks

@checmark – goigishan is just spamming this site – ignore them

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

it is ‘simply’ ‘showing the forums and sub forums’ – if you want it to show topics as well, then you would use a page with a list of shortcodes eg [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]

This will show all the topics – you would need to do some coding to just show topic titles.

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

thanks

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

ok, mark as read is not a part of bbpress itself.

what other bbpress related plugins do you have ?

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

no, but you can not have the ‘forums’

dashboard>settings>forums>Forum root slug, and untick ‘prefix…’

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

bbpress only works on wordpress – sorry !

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

ok, don’t know that one.

Try turning the plug off and then do the permalink fix we tried earlier in this thread

dashboard>settings>permalink and click save

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

which hoster are you with ?
