Thats what caught me off when you said it supported multi-site, Im guessing WordPress isn’t able to provide what i need long-term. I can think of ways around it, but currently lacking the skills to make it happen.

Easiest way I could think of would be to have any plugin you want to access across the network, each have their own database. Use the WP side to generate the content and have it synced to a DB outside of WP. Treat each plugin like a separate module. Have each new site on the network access that module to pull the centralized files, just set access through permissions.

Guess ill go post up in the help wanted sections and see how many kidneys Ill need to sell lol

This is because you’re actually using an old version of bbPress 2.6. bbPress 2.6-RC3 is published on the WP.org plugin repo (although it’s a bit hard to find with the new design), so WordFence is using those files as the comparison. These are legitimate file changes, and I would recommend updating to 2.6-RC3. Below is the official download link

@jwill207, Without seeing the page you’re trying to change, it’s hard to say what you need to do.

@5unnykum4r, This is a separate issue. Please start a new topic, and provide some extra details. Also, it appears that you’re not using bbPress, so it might be better to post your question here, https://wordpress.org/support/.

@karilistermanyahoocom

The default from email address for bbPress emails is noreply@(url).com. If you’re seeing wordpress@(url).com, it’s either not an email sent by bbPress, or you’re using a plugin that is changing the from address for all emails sent.

To change the bbPress email, you would use the filter bbp_get_do_not_reply_address. For most (if not all) emails sent by your WordPress install, you’d use the wp_mail_from filter.

Can I change who my members receive an email from when they sign up to “reply@(url).com” instead of wordpress@(url).com?

[darmord]

All right,

But I need registration only through my page – my f-orum. Not by redirecting wordpress.

I’m using 4.8 WordPress version.
I just installed bbPress plugin that error occurs.
Please help me to resolve it.
Thanks.

[Robin W]

thank you for your kind donation

plugin support page for style pack is

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack

post there and I’ll pick it up

[Robin W]

if you are using the bbpress login widget then this has options for a registration page

Otherwise, bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so just google

‘wordpress custom registration’ and you’ll find tips, tools and plugins that should sort you !!

[John James Jacoby]

if there is supposed to be a redirect when someone isn’t logged in

No. When inaccessible pages are requested, a 404 is returned.

I want to prevent non logged-in users from viewing this 404 page because it has a list of all the pages within my website, and I need to keep that accessible only to logged-in users.

I’ve created a Trac ticket to get more development discussion on the idea here:

Hi,

I need to change my registration page so that users sign up for my site. So they did not push for a wordpress registration or login. Can be done?
well thank you

[Robin W]

my style pack plugin stops unregistered users seeing profile

bbp style pack

go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>profile

I’ve been successfully running BP and the forum plugin for several years now.
I did not add any new plugins but of course have been installing updates as they come up.
Sometime in the past month I lost the ability to create a new topic on my forum. The forums are not super busy but I post a monthly contest thread so I know it worked fine a month ago.

No error is generated, the page just reloads. I’ve tried clearing my browser cache in Chrome. I tried using Edge. I went to an entirely different computer from which I’ve never access the site and tried from there using IE. Same result.

I’ve switched to default theme 2015 and I am able to post but I can’t go back and edit or update the post. I also can not reply to the post using the 2015 theme. I am attempting to contact the theme creator for support but there is still some issue with the default theme so I’m asking here too.

Another user was able to post a reply finally but I can’t edit my original post. This seems to affect users at random off and on and then resolves itself but I have no idea what is happening.

Is there some place I can see what plugins were last updated so I can try disabling them?

I’m on my own domain, multi site install.
Apache Version 2.2.31
PHP Version 5.4.45
MySQL Version 10.1.22-MariaDB-cll-lve
bbPress 2.5.12-6148
Wordpress 4.8

Hi @atmojones

I too am very interested in this ‘autocomplete tag’ enhancement for bbpress too. I’m new to WordPress, but it sounds like it would be indispensable if you are running a forum and don’t want your Users to make a mess of your tagging system Did you have any luck with finding a solution?

[KennyThemap]

This problem suddenly arose recently. Eventually tracked it down to the PHP version I was using. I had php 7.1.3 was was designated as ‘Leading (edge)’. Went back to 5.6.30 which was designated as ‘Stable’ and all is well on 3 sites.

May be coincidence but it occurred only after the latest WordPress reelase.

Hello all,
For some reason, the posting form is not visible on internet explorer.
I am using the current version of wordpress and bbpress

I think attempting to use multisite in this instance is over complicating things…

Take a look at this video on one of WordPress’ multisite experts 🙂

Using one of the “membership” (Members, S2, Restrict Content Pro, Users, etc etc) type plugins along with groups would be the way to go I think.

[Robin W]

hmm – multisite could be complicated

If you can work with having different groups being able to access different combinations of forums, then my private groups plugin could be what you need.

Private groups

Ill start by saying im not a developer and can edit php and code, but I cant write it from scratch…. yet

So ive been moving a guild site over from phpbb into wordpress and am still trying to figure out the best way to handle applicants, I made a post here if anyone had any ideas about that
https://bbpress.org/?post_type=topic&p=181981

So I was looking into how to maybe do a multisite with a single forum handling all the main communication among the community as a whole. I was looking through the forum here and everything that said it cant be done is very old. Is there a way to have shortcodes and custom user fields to work around that? Or maybe iframe?

Here is my thought, ill use car clubs for example

Root Forum

1 category – Car Club –
1-2 forum – public
1-3 forum – recruitment needs

2 category – members only
2-2 forum – New Car Club Applicant
2-3 forum – Car Club Events
2-4 forum – ADMIN

3 categories – (3) Honda – (4) Ford – (5) Mazda
3-2 forum – news rss
3-3 forum – brand specific news

Ok, so lets say on the main site if someone goes there it pulls everything since its the root. But give the car club its own multisite along with any niche sub group. In the custom user groups have shortcodes associated with the different ranks to show them on their member page when they look at the info something like [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] and add more to the root of that ranks permission. That way you dont have to add them per user, but per rank per group.

so in the shortcode for public users they would only have access to 1 and its contents
people in the honda club who are just members would have access to 1, 2(excluding 2-4) and 3, once they get bumped up to admin rank in that group the shortcode to display 2-4 gets added since its connected to rank roles.

In the same breath on the front end of the multisite pages you could just have them display the public forums associated with that niche pulling the data from the forum via [bbp-single-forum id=$id ].

I had a ton of control like this through phpbb using theme styling and domain masking and am trying to find a way to make it work in wordpress but its been a learning curve. I know groups in buddypress have some of this function built in, but it doesn’t seem to be tweak-able between sites. I dont want a guest to see every group in the opt in part of registration off the bat. Would rather have them app on that groups page, members review then they get added and what they see is based on what rank they have in all the groups they are in.

So am i trying to overthink this? Have I missed something that could solve this idea?

Thoughts/Suggestions?

5 WordPress Plugins to Manage User Roles

[Robin W]

yes you just need to have different wordpress roles for each group.

plenty of wordpress role plugins to achieve that

[Robin W]

Kari,

participants don’t see that notice.

But my style pack plugin has the ability to add a notice in that place

bbp style pack

once installed and activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack> topic/reply form > No. 9 topic posting rules

[Robin W]

bbpress is not designed for backend use by ordinary users – the backend is really for administration, so participants don’t get this area.

New topics are shown below the forum list, or by creating a page and using one of the shortcodes

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

or by adding a button, such as in the style pack plugin

bbp style pack

[Robin W]

try

bbp style pack

this should let you style the forums

If you still have problems, come back

[Robin W]

that’s a bit like asking ‘my car has stopped working – can you tell me why?’:-)

suggest you work out what has changed in the last week – plugin/theme updates, php versions, wordpress versions etc.

If that doesn’t help, enable debugger – suspect you’ll find an error

then come back
