Hi, I would like to hide user’s IP addresses from moderators, but keep them visible for keymasters.
Searching this topic I found solutions to hide the IP addresses for everyone, but not to keep it visible for keymasters.
Any ideas?

Thank you,
Sam

Greetings,

I would like for ALL other Topic Pages, Reply Pages, (etc.) to maintain the same page look as the Forum Home Page.

Example of Forum Home Page – https://digifessor.com/community/

How can I make ALL other Topic Pages, Reply Pages, (etc.) the same as the Forum Home Page?
Link above.

Current example of what ALL other pages look like (I do NOT want this look)-

Hello, thanks for you reply. So you suggest to disable all the plugin and try with bbpress and GD Att. alone.
I’ll try it and let you know.

I queued to an existing topic here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permission-to-attach-image-isnt-working/

It seems there’re others with my problem.

Hi,

My GD bbPress Attachments plugin gets file uploaded through media library, and MIME Types check is done in WP core. So, MIME control code should work. But, many security plugins also limit MIME types, so it might be related to that.

But, my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/ has MIME Types control alowing you to add new types and limit upload to select types.

Problem is that WordPress checks actual MIME Type for files, so if the extension is not registered with the file’s real MIME Type, it will fail. If you have archive that you connect to text file MIME, it will fail, because WP uses PHP function to read file MIME if possible.

might be worth trying one of the plugins?

I’d suggest you raise a ticket in bbpress attachments

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/

Done, I hope this will help to find a solution. By now, many thanks for your help.

I’ve had a quick look, but could spend the rest of Christmas looking in code

I’d suggest you raise a ticket in bbpress attachments

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/

[Robin W]

have a look at this

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/44777/upload-mimes-filter-has-no-effect

seems maybe you can only have one text/plain entry?

the types are listed in

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_allowed_mime_types

and maybe try

add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'wpse44777_upload_mimes' );
function wpse44777_upload_mimes( $mime_types )
{
    // First we unregister the old key
    unset( $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h'] );

    // Then we add a new one
    ! isset( $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h|nvn'] ) AND $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h|nvn'] = 'text/plain';

    return $mime_types;
}

I thought I would widen this out to the broader community too.

I started my query here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-download-counts/

Would it be possible to display the number of times an attachment has been downloaded in parentheses? This is for the GD Attachments Plugin.

Hello all, this is probably a strange request but what the hell, I will give it a shot…

My site is not live yet, it is at https://jimandms.com/ running the latest version of BuddyPress, bbPress and WordPress. I keep them all updated…

Anyway, I have added some posts to the forum. Just general housekeeping stuff mostly. And the complete post shows in my feed on my homepage as well as in the forum. Ideally, I would not want anything to show on the home screen when a forum post is made. I want to keep the two separate to a certain extent.

Or if this cannot be done, then a short blurb about the post with a link to the forum would be acceptable. As it is right now, it shows on the newsfeed as I said and you get a read more on the post and when you click it it shows the whole post.

Anyone have any ideas about how to accomplish this? I checked all of the settings and I didn’t see anything that would help but it is always possible that I missed something.

Thanks for reading!
Jim

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

Hello,
I’m trying to merge two topics together. I select the topic to merge into, press the submit button, then an empty page opens with the message “A variable mismatch has been detected”.

I’m using
Wordpress 5.3.2
bbPress 2.6.3
on my site http://www.renegadeskutr.cz/forums/forum/srazy-a-akce/

I also tried editing a topic, pinning/unpinning, etc. and these functions work properly.

It seems this is a common issue with many plugins since WordPress 5.0.1. I googled and found many topics with the same issue from other plugins. Apparently “WordPress checks if GET and POST inputs match and, in case of mismatch, it throws the error.”
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-variable-mismatch-has-been-detected-6/page/4/

How can I fix the problem?

[Robin W]

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

Hey there @wproyal,

Do you happen to be using the GetShopped Support Forums plugin? The reason I ask is I see hooks or functions in the error message you shared as follows:

bbps_lock_to_author

bbps_get_all_premium_topic_ids

The bbps_* prefix is used by the plugin I mentioned (though it’s entirely possible it is also used by other plugins). So, a good starting point toward resolving this could be to temporarily deactivate that plugin, if you can, and see if things clear up.

If that does fix things and you still need this plugin, perhaps a good immediate step would be thinking about what recently changed to introduce the problem (an update either to it or to bbPress itself? A change in some custom code someplace? A settings change?) and then think about ways to roll back.

Of course, you could also reach out to the author/support team for the GetShopped plugin and see if they can offer help with this 🙂

new error on old site? only just installed bbpress? what version of bbpress and WordPress?

I am trying to display an image within the content area of a topic,
as illustrated in this image…

I am using bbpress 2.6.3 and WordPress 5.3.2.

Please help.
Thanks

[Robin W]

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.

[Robin W]

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’

Hello!

I’m not sure, whether I have the same issue or a different one. I have simple forum structure with a forum list and every forum has a topic list. You may take a look at my forum list.

The features

• You don’t need to log in to read.
• The first forum is read-only for all users except the admin.
• Anyone can register and gets write-permission to all forums except the first one (Loginizer and Akismet in use).
• The forum with most topics gets its topics from posts by the plugin “bbPress Topics for Posts“. Despite being old the plugin has worked flawlessly until the most recent update

The issue

• Some of the forums have kept displaying “juuri nyt” (just now) since the update, because some of their topics show the same freshness.

What I have tried

• recalculated everything
• disabled the plugin “bbPress Topics for Posts” and recalculated everything
• changed to the Twenty Twenty theme and recalculated everything

but in vain. Is this caused/related by the bug #3297? Any pointers appreciated.

[Robin W]

a question for WordPress.com – I’m afraid I have no idea

[Jason Dao]

I’m a newbie, so please be kind. Is it correct that plugins (except ecommerce ones) are not available for wordpress.com sites? Is there any way to install bbpress onto a wordpress.com website?

Thanks.

[momeni69]

Hi,
I installed BBpress on my site and it goes well for two month.
Suddenly i faced 503 error in reply page of admin side
I repaired forum but nothing was solved , I reset the froum and it solved the problem
but i need my forum data and as soon as i import them with wordpress as XML , again the error comes back!
what should i do now ? do you have any idea?

[Robin W]

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

[Scaffies]

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Which “upgrade routines”?? Where were any special instructions given?

We installed it like all other plug-in updates from the WordPress Dashboard -> Updates
