In reply to: Suggestions on registration tutorial
it uses the wordpress user database to store email addresses, and will mail to the email address of the wordpress user as you set them up.
Whilst a bit clunky, you could use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-users-to-csv/
to export the email addresses to a csv, and import them from there to mailchimp maybe via a macro.
depends on how many users you have and how often you’re emailing.
In reply to: Suggestions on registration tutorialI am trying to figure out how to make entering a username and email address mandatory for my forums
Just unclick anonymous posting in dashboard>settings>forums
Just create a page in your menu system called forums wherever you want it, and add the following shortcode
[bbp-forum-index]In reply to: where do i begin?Yes there should be was fairly sure I’d posted it
link is
In reply to: Most active users (Leaderboard)Have not fund anything else that does this
In reply to: Forum is open but says its closed.Can you explain more?
where does ti say this – can’t see it in the link you psoted.
and is it open when you want it closed, or closed when you want it open, or all fine but just the words wrong.
In reply to: Most active users (Leaderboard)There used to be, it was called (surprisingly!) bbpress leaderboard, but whilst references to it are many, I can’t find an actual plugin
In reply to: where do i begin?Start by watching this, it’s a bit old, but will get you started.
Then
Create a page called “forums” or whatever you set the forums page to be when you were in settings (see video), if you are using a custom menu, add this page to it. That way your have a fourms page on your site which has all the forum stuff inc. login which we’ll add next!
Next – install a further plugin called bbpress tweaks https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/
This :
Adds a forum specific sidebar to your forum page, so this can be different to the blog and static pages.
Gives you login widgets which along with recent comments and recent topics widget makes your forum sidebar have everything it needs
example
In reply to: bbpress and wordpress 3.6Works fine for me !
In reply to: Forum Page Sidebar issueIn reply to: How Do I Make A Custom bbPress Theme?Is it easy for you to summarise what “extra” you found out that would help others searching this forum in future?
In reply to: Weird login error on this siteThere seem to be some issues with this site and remembering users.
You can login to bbpress.org, but as soon as you try to go to the support area, it logs you as anonymous. If you click the lost password it tells you that you are already logged in. Logging out and in again doesn’t fix, and login frequently goes nowhere.
I found two solutions
1. logout, then click lost password, get the email, change password and then login
2. Come to the site using https://bbpress.org/wp-login.php
JJJ – this started for me about 10 days ago, before that it was intermittent, now it is every time I come to site – any ideas?
Firstly, you need to post this on the theme’s support site
https://wordpress.org/support/theme/blackbird
Since this site has a free download trial version and a bought version, I suspect you may need to spend $45 to buy this version to take this ad out – don’t guarantee that, but suspect it is the case.

http://www.inkthemes.com/wp-themes/blackbird-responsive-wordpress-theme/In reply to: Add forum description to forums indexI just added a new page called “forums” and put the text there.
then put the forums index shortcode (bbp-forum-index put in square brackets) after itor is this not your problem?
In reply to: Logged out users and TopicsThis should be the default position ie not logged in can view, but only logged in reply.
Check your forums (dashboard>forums) and pick any one of your forms to edit
You should have :
Visibility : Public on the top right hand side
In reply to: can a user login and be taken straight to the forum?where are they logging in? are you using the bbpress login wideget or going via WP-admin If using wp-admin, then take this away from them….
I use bbpress WP tweaks, this creates a forum specific sidebar.
Into this you can drop the BBpress login widget, which means that when they go to your forum page, they then get to login using the widget and remain on that page.
Like you I then give them “no role for this site”, and “participant” for the forum.
I also untick the “show toolbar when viewing site” , so that they don’t see anything wordpress-ish, just my theme. They can amend passwords and profiles through the forum, so don’t need it.

In reply to: users cannot login to bbpresssorry to hear that.
Cannot suggest anything else – hope someone else will come along and help !
In reply to: users cannot login to bbpressCan only suggest you try it in the base ie change your current forum page, and try it witgh forums as the web address.
In reply to: What's wrong with bbpress org toolbar + login?Caming,
Given that you work in digital marketing for a living, I would have thought that you understood the difference between being paid for something, and getting it for free.
BBpress is FREE – if you want instant support – go pay for something, otherwise accept that this FREE software, with non-instant support provided for by a community who try to help and improve the FREE product – you know then one you didn’t pay for.
Yes it’s really great of you to flag up security flaws, that is the COMMUNITY thing to do, and thanks for doing that.
Finally I think you should seriously consider some anger management course, it’s not good for your blood pressure 🙂
Schmoo, presume you mean this forum https://bbpress.org/forums/ – try coming here direct rather than via bbpress.org and let us know if that makes a difference.
In reply to: users cannot login to bbpressNormally bbpress looks for it’s forum under the website followed by “forums”, but you’ve got that link allocated to Mybb software.
I presume your forums base in settings is set to “iiforums” ?
In reply to: Full Page vs Sidebar InstallationYes, that’s probably the next step – swapping your theme to one of the defaults eg twentytwelve and see if it comes up. If so then it’s a theme issue, suspect your theme is unloading sidebars at the wrong time – this should be correctable, but you need to prove it’s the issue first !
In reply to: Full Page vs Sidebar InstallationIn your widgets toolbar you should see a “bbpress sidebar” – drop your items theer and they’ll appear in the sidebar on forum pages.
In reply to: Change the default Forums pageStrange works well on mine wordpress 3.5.1 bbpress 2.3.2 theme twentyten
breadcrumbs work fine and get you back to the page
Did you call the page forums plural?
