I would recommend a captcha for posting, unless you love to get hundreds of spam posts a day

or just change the link towards the WP profile edit:
bbpress 2.5.1 on line 65 in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php
As Lynqoid said it all depends on your needs and skills in adding and changing things if the standard + additional plugins, is not enough.
BBPress has the big advantage that it is part of WordPress, but a disadvantage is the limitation in all the bells and whistles that other forum software gives, which most forums don’t need anyway.
BBPress is lightweight compared to other stand-alone software, but that also makes it attractive to use.
You should also think what your readers/members will need and do with it.
My experience with forums is that the majority just comes to read and sometimes posts, if they have questions or answers, but that will be if you are lucky at the most 10% of the readers/members.
Crowd-moderation as you call it is not a real feature on BBPress, a simple report link is there, which does not even sends you an email.
Other software has more complex report systems, but don’t think users will use them, since that is not why they are on your forum.

There might be other plugins also just do a search
On the WP side you can always just keep them at -No role for this site- or just subscriber, which just means they can read, but not write posts on the WP side.
It might be in form-forum.php (bbpress/templates/default/bbpress)
It has these lines, have not tried it and be sure to have a backup:
<p>
<label for="bbp_forum_type"><?php _e( 'Forum Type:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
<?php bbp_form_forum_type_dropdown(); ?>
</p>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_form_type' ); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_form_status' ); ?>
<p>
<label for="bbp_forum_status"><?php _e( 'Status:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
<?php bbp_form_forum_status_dropdown(); ?>
</p>
I got it working and also Guests Posts (Topics and Replies) don’t return and empty value.
Might not be the best way, but all I got:
<?php
if ( bbp_is_topic_anonymous() ) {
echo "<br>Guest Post"; }
elseif ( bbp_is_reply_anonymous() ) {
echo "<br>Guest Post"; }
else {
$post_count = ( bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw ( bbp_get_reply_author_id ( bbp_get_reply_id() ) ) );
echo "<br>Total Topics: " . $post_count;
$post_count = ( bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw ( bbp_get_reply_author_id ( bbp_get_reply_id() ) ) );
echo "<br>Total Replies: " . $post_count; }
?>
Nope, that does not seem to be working.
I tried several different ways, but all just output the same.
I got to this code, but still outputs the Totals for guests without a value/number:
<?php if ( bbp_is_anonymous() ) {
echo "Guest Post"; }
else {
$post_count = ( bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw ( bbp_get_reply_author_id ( bbp_get_reply_id() ) ) );
echo "Total Topics: " . $post_count;
$post_count = ( bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw ( bbp_get_reply_author_id ( bbp_get_reply_id() ) ) );
echo "Total Replies: " . $post_count; } ?>
It doesn’t return any number for guests, just “Total posts:”
I use 2.5.1 and also have Your’s
Thanks, any idea how to have it not show under guest posts, since that is not counted of course.
any idea where to add the code to have it show under the avatar in topics/replies?
I think the count works, just can not get it placed correctly
The subscribe link is for that, so users can subscribe to the forum or a topic and receive emails, when posts are made.
The way you want it is that users get emails even if they did not subscribe, which would fall under UN-solicited emails.
Make sure you have no login, register widget on the WP side and use a plugin for login,regsiter that re-directs users back to the page they logged in from. There are several that do that.
I even believe there is a bbPress login widget
I presume you have on the WP side comments and such off for users (only read blog)
That would overturn the whole idea of guest posting.
Most guest will give a fake email address anyway.
Actually bbPress should remove the email field for guest posting.
For what you want you could always make use of the Recent Topics Widget and setup a whole new page/index.php that shows:
Forum name
Recent Topics widget for that forum only
Forum name
Recent Topics widget for that forum only
Seems a lot simpler then changing the core files, which will be an issue for updates.
The look of the widget can be easily altered by css
I thought it might had to do with your linked php part, but have not tried it.
If they are participant, edit profile should work, no idea why you get a 404
EDIT:
Just tried your php code in a link and does not work for me
Menu link to Profile
<?php global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
echo $current_user->user_login . "";
?>
Be sure to check bbPress versions (latest 2.5.1) and if you are up to date then the developer/mods may have to update the POT files also, which is something to forget easily.
Don’t know in to which language you are trying to translate, looks like Brasilian (which is I think is almost Portugese).
There is a _pot (in the language folder) file that comes with bbPress, that you can translate and use on your bbPress and hopefully submit for others to use also if they need it.
If the current translation of BR/PO is wrong feel free to change it and submit it.
The creator/developer of bbPress or the Mods, can not help in translations, they just have to trust anybody whom submits a translation.
