Thanks Thomaskla… will try it out!!!
The Notification Plugin isn’t working… I’m trying the plugin where you will receive notification if you add a topic to your favorites… but I am not receiving any emails even after authors reply to the topic… any suggestions as to where I should look for a cure…
Wow… that worked too… but I notice one thing (and it has nothing to do with the plugin, for I noticed this before I installed it)…
In case of members it shows member name and the word member below it next to the posts.
membername
member
but in case of admin it was showing the reverse way:
admin
zapata
now after installing this plugin it shows me this:
zapata
zapata…
just wanted to see if this is the way it is supposed to work… or perhaps it should not be doing this.
– Fantastic!!! Installed it and will be playing with it.
Just noticed a problem… the users login name shows up next to what they are posting instead of the Display name or Nickname… is there a way to change their names to Display name or Nickname.
Trent, Your advise resolved the issue. No more registration links. Thank You!!!
Future request: is there a way to tick mark a box that says Notify me of replies… that way authors don’t have to log in to the forums to check for replies and can be notified of it by email.
Also yes… I’m integrated with WP using the integration plugin I found here.
Trent,
Today is my bbPress Independence day. Everything seems to be working just so smoothly. Removed register.php and Voila…
two questions:
(1) What file do I have to look in to remove the “Register” link on top of the page
(2)When you mention “People can still register using WordPress” do you mean the authors or me (admin) has to do anything “beyond” what I do to register authors in the admin section of WordPress
Trent,
WOEEEZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAA…. sorry for the excitement… the code works!!!!!
Gurus… one request… how can I completely “Eliminate” anonymous user registration… the goal of my forum is for a private discussion of authors who write on the main blog to communicate with each other. Hence all users of the forum will be actually authors of the blog.
Trent, Thanks for the quick reply. There are no errors. The objective was to hide the forums from everyone who is not logged in. For this the mdawaffe’s plugin (code posted in his post above) was working on my initial install (0.74)… but I’ve installed the 0.75 yesterday and reinstalled the plugin, but upon logging out, I’m still able to browse the forums…
the url: passionforcinema.com/club
i think it could be because I’m on 2.04 WP and 0.75 bbpress?
just installed version 0.75 and unfortunately the hide feature for those not logged in does not seem to work… any advise here?
WOW!!! It works. Now if I logout and try to log back in it simply shows me the login form!!!
I got an error after installation as follows:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_is_user_logged_in() in /home/direc/public_html/passionforcinema-com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-forcelogin.php on line 12
I have the cpanel… is there anything I can do? Or should I just paste my .htaccess file here… Oh Gurus please help me 
… (I now could write a screenplay on my adventures in bbPress…)
(scratching head) can’t make head or tail of this, being such a n000b… I know there is a .htaccess file. Is there some line or code I have to insert in there to prevent users from accessing my forum?
How can I prevent readers registering? Even if I don’t give a link or hide “register” link… they may find the page to register…
Thanks!!! My host just arranged something that redirects all www. to simply http://passionforcinema.com
That leaves two things that I need to activate the Authors forum:
1. How do I prevent users(unregistered ones) from veiwing the forum and using it.
2. How do I prevent users (visitors) from registering for the forum. (I want to handle registrations myself in WP Admin)
It WORKED!!!!!!!!!
changing home and siteurl to http://passionforcinema.com worked like that!
Question and possible problem…
Some of my authors may use http://www.passionforcinema.com to log in. I tried it. In this case http://passionforcinema.com/bbpress does not recoginze them (same problem as earlier)
Is there a solution, where bbPress recognizes my authors who have logged in on passionforcinema with or without a “www.” in front.
How can I resolve this issue (beside ofcourse asking my fellow authors to type only http://passionforcinema.com and noT http://www.passionforcinema.com)
Not only is bbPress not able to get my WP Login, but when I register as an independent user, even that username password does not allow me to get into bbPress. Could this be my url problem?
my blog is at passionforcinema.com
bbpress is located at root level of the folder bbpress
Now I have two blogs on this server. The root – public_html leads to my other blog DT. At this level is a folder call passionforcinema-com within which is WP contents for my second blog (with a direct url passionforcinema.com)… I’m kind of confused so thought maybe I’ve messed something up because of this structure and the config.php may need different values than what I’ve inserted (as above)
AphelionZ thanks. I would like the .htaccess file route where I can show the like “Authors Room” on the blog and only Authors with passwords can log in and see the forum. (I’ll try working on the html (fingers crossed) and see if i succeed)
But can’t move ahead without the logging issue resolved.
Any ideas dear Gurus?
