so it is wordpress not bbpress

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.

Then come back

I have no idea what is happening. I assign a forum role in the user account but when the user visits the forum, the role is just deleted and replaced with -No role for these forums-. Auto role is not checked in settings. Why aren’t they “sticking?” Any help or insights would be really appreciated. Thanks.

bbpress uses wordpress registration, so this is probably not a bbpress issue.

As a final check, go into http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php and test that registration also fails there

Then I suggest you contact your host provider to help – as it is possibly a site configuarion/email issue.

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so start with

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

According to me “Responsive Theme” is the best theme for any forum based site, there are so many very useful SEO friendly options which normally other popular themes do not have.

One of them is Last updated date…and special bbpress theme layouts

When i want to reset permalinks, do i habe to change it and save or just save it?
I am questioning because i found this.

“I would try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure
and save again.”

Is this part of the htaccess file …
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

… synonymous with the activated Apache mod_rewrite module?
Or do I still have to activate the module although this is configured in my htacces file?

I have hope again that I find out what it is 🙂 I am looking forward to your answers.
All the best
Daniel

Hello,

I made an analysis on the existing user profile avatar / photo and I couldn’t find one that is free and works for my experimental forum. For sure there is a setting problem in my project, but I cannot find it. There are is not very useful conversation in the console (we will extend the discussion here if required).

Here is the list:

1. Avatar Manager there is the upload button, select the picture but nothing is uploaded

2. WP User Avatars there is the upload button, select the picture but nothing is uploaded

3. Basic User Avatars there is the upload button, select the picture but nothing is uploaded

Maybe for these 3 there is a settings that prevents uploading?

4. Simple Local Avatars http://…/wordpress/forums/users/…/edit/ doesn’t load anymore

It break somehow the bbpress.

5. Simple User Avatar the select (upload) button does not work

6. User Photo the plugin activate button does not work

7. WP Custom Avatar maybe its not compatible with bbPress, doesn’t appear at http://…/wordpress/forums/users/…/edit/

8. User Profile Picture maybe its not compatible with bbPress, doesn’t appear at http://…/wordpress/forums/users/…/edit/

9. WP User Avatar the option is not free for bbpress, maybe it works fine

10. User registration & user profile – Profile Builder il avem deja the option is not free for bbpress, maybe it works fine

What are your suggestions on this?

Please reply if you have some experience with one of the plugins.

Thank you !

Looked to be due to the Simple Local Avatars plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-local-avatars/

Commenting out some lines in the get_avatar function seemed to fix the issue.

you can create an index with particular forums using a shortcode in my style pack

[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘2932,2921’ title=’main forums’] Displays the selected forum indexes

bbp style pack

[Robin W]

my style pack has a shortcode

[bsp-display-topic-indexforum =’101′ ] Displays the latest topics, optionally from a forum or forums

Hello!

May I ask if this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/ will work correctly despite not being updated with new WP version?
Or, maybe is there another plugin/way to do the same as this plugin do?
Thanks in advance.

bbPress is following along with WordPress GDPR implementation, once that is sorted out we’ll implement what needs implementing for bbPress.

WordPress’ GDPR progress can be followed along via https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/gdpr-compliance/

I can create a page with a single forum using the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=19743] but I also want it this particular forum not to be seen in the main forum index where I use the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
Is this possible?
Is there another way of achieving the same effect?

I have:
Wordpress version 4.9.5
BBPress Version 1.4.1
main Forum page
specific forum page

if you google ‘WP Super Cache bbpress’ you’ll find lots of help – including how to disable bbpress for supercache

WordPress Dashboard
> Settings
> WP Super Cache
> Advanced tab
> Scroll down to “Accepted Filenames & Rejected URI’s”

> Add here strings (not a filename) …

I found the following entries in that text box:

wp-.*.php

index.php

I added:

/forums/

(My bbPress application is installed under my WordPress directory in the /forums sub-directory).

Now all URL’s that include the string “/forums/” are ignored in terms of caching.

which sound like what you may need

Hi so I’ve got a problem with a forum. It’s not my first one but the first time i’ve got that problem. When I post something/ create a Topic etc. it is not being shown. only after a long time (like a day or so) it will show the changes. i guess it is a problem with the cache but I can’t figure out what. clearing the cache doesn’t help and even if it would… i mean who clears his cache after each post of every user…

WordPress 4.9.5
bbPress Version 2.5.14
WP Super Cache Version 1.5.9

if you want to take a look at it yourself: turngemeinde.com/forum (its in german)

bbpress uses the wordpress default avatar as set in

dashboard>settings>discussion

There are plugins that let you add additional defaults eg

Add New Default Avatar

or use code in your functions file or a snippets plugin (https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/) such as

add_filter( 'avatar_defaults', 'mytheme_default_avatar' );
function mytheme_default_avatar( $avatar_defaults ) 
{
    $avatar = get_option('avatar_default');

    $new_avatar_url = get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default_avatar.png';

    if( $avatar != $new_avatar_url )
    {
        update_option( 'avatar_default', $new_avatar_url );
    }

    $avatar_defaults[ $new_avatar_url ] = 'Default Avatar';
    return $avatar_defaults;
}

@editor-mike,

If it does not seem to work, you can also find the option in my bbp-toolkit plugin in the ‘Extras’ tab.

Let me know if that worked after you activated the plugin and the option.

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses the display name as set in

dashboard>users>all Users>edit user

so you could change your users to what you want.

users can change their individual if you give them access to their wordpress profile or their bbpress profile.

There are some plugins and code that can change stuff eg

Quick Tip: Set the Default Display Name for WordPress Users

I googled ‘wordpress change display name for all users’ and lots lots of stuff.
