bbPress – Version 2.5.12
Wordpress – Version 4.7.4

My friends have been joining my forums. They get an email stating they’ve joined from MailChimp. They return to the site and their user name and password are requested.

I get a message stating they’ve joined.

Here’s the problem. They never get an email to activate their Username and Password.
A. Does bbPress have that feature?
B. Does MailChimp not forward that sort of email?
C. Is there a way to add Username and Password during signup in bbPress?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I’ve been having difficulties setting up a private BuddyPress group with associated forum:

1. If the forum is set as “private” then I get the error “This group does not currently have a forum.” on the group’s Forum page.

2. If the forum is set as “public” then the forum does appear there, and the group’s access controls seem to stop non-members accessing it. However new topics and replies generate BuddyPress activities which are visible to non-members.

WordPress 4.7.4
BuddyPress 2.8.2
bbPress 2.5.12

I was advised on trac ticket #2752 (here) to try the fix on trac ticket #2599 which updates forum privacy when the group is saved. I tried this, but it just set the forum as private, triggering problem #1.

As mentioned on the trac ticket linked above, I have tried the Repair tools and various changes to group/forum privacy.

I can’t seem to find a setup that gives me a private group with a private forum. Can anyone please advise me on how to debug this?

Hi Pascal,

Here are the requested info:

MySQL: 5.5.54-0+deb8u1
PHP: 5.6.30-0+deb8u1
WordPress: 4.7.4

I sent a message to all members of a forum group. The message showed up as being from “wordpress@connexions.world” where “connexions.world” is the name of my domain.

How do I change the “from” value from “wordpress” to my own name or the name of the message sender?

Hi,
I amusing WordPress 4.6.5 with bbPress 2.5.10. Just recently I am starting to get 50 or 60 users a day registering when I had only a handful for many months previously. None of these ‘new’ users are activating their account. I know that activation emails are going out because I registered myself with a gmail account, received the activation email and applied a password. My admin email account (not the gmail one) received a message telling me that the user had changed the password, thus telling me that that user had activated. None of the over 200 spam email accounts have followed that process, so I want to remove them from my list.
I was under the impression that bbPress automatically removed registered users that did not activate, but I still have over 200 sitting there and I cannot see which ones should be active and which ones are not, because they all just have “Subscriber” role against them.\
How can I tell which users have activated so I don’t remove valid users and only remove the spam ones.

Hi @newz12,
Could you also post your WordPress, PHP and MySQL version ?
Thanks, Pascal.

Hello, I am running WordPress 4.7.4 and bbPress 2.5.12.

My forum can be found on https://thehulkpress.com/forum . The page looks exactly how I want it to there, but when I click on the forum channel the page background changes to white. I’ve tried a variety of different css codes to change the rest of the pages to black, but can’t seem to find the correct block of code. Can someone suggest a way to change not only the first page, but the rest of the pages’ background to black? Thank you

[Robin W]

presume you’ve tried it ?

If it doesn’t work, then the latest activity widget in my style pack plugin does exactly that

bbp style pack

Hello, I have a bbPress forum on my website. I am running WordPress 4.7.4 and bbPress 2.5.12.

The way I want the entire forum to look can be found on https://thehulkpress.com/forum. However, you’ll notice when you click on the one channel available that the background of the page goes to white instead of staying black. I’ve searched numerous posts and have attempted to change all css fields that make sense to a black background. I have a feeling that the Divi theme that I am running is perhaps overriding this and I may need to change something in the php files, however I am not sure where to look for that. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks for your time,

– Zach

Hi Robin, Your plugin is great but I just need a simple PHP code to loop through this just like we loop through wordpress posts using wp query., is there any way I can run a simple code to get the data of last three recent posts and then I can easily render the information in my created HTML

[Robin W]

if you are happy with code, download my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

if you look in includes/shortcodes

you’ll find a shortcode for bsp_display_topic_index

around line 40 you’ll find the output that you could modify and then style.

There are quite a few performance improvements coming in bbPress 2.6 (to be released soon)

Many of these improvements have been made to support the implementation of bbPress 2.6 here on the WordPress.org support forums.

You can read more about this here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-beta/

If you have a test site, or could set one help, testing 2.6 would help us help you 🙂

Hi my site is rightfootflat.com and basically in my forum once you register for an account you get sent to the admin login for WordPress and I would like it to redirect to the forum front page. I filezilla sftp but I am not very knowledgeable with css/HTML any help would be great thanks 🙂

I feel as though I’m losing my mind. There’s an option to enable the full TinyCME editor correct?

I’m looking at this: https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/

But when I do that, all I’m seeing is this:

I’ve tried the code in the codex on a base WordPress theme and all plugins disabled.

Is it possible to enable a more robust editor?

Thanks

The whole wordpress site is slow for logged out users and I not sure if it’s related to bbpress or buddypress. Every page take about 4 sec and 0.5 sec for logged in users

Wordpress: 4.7.3
Buddypress: 2.8.2
bbpress: 2.6b2
25000 users

With QueryMonitor I can see the following
SELECT wp_users.ID,wp_users.user_login,wp_users.user_pass,wp_users.user_nicename,wp_users.user_email,wp_users.user_url,wp_users.user_registered,wp_users.user_activation_key,wp_users.user_status,wp_users.display_name
FROM wp_users
WHERE 1=1
AND wp_users.ID IN (40269,32606,34524,34322,40331,40334,36153,25677… and all user id’s

Caller is WP_User_Query->query()
wp-includes/class-wp-user-query.php:600

Component:
Plugin buddypress

The funny thing is if I disable bbpress and rtMedia with (bbpress plugin) that big query is not taking place.

Hi @panda666uk,

Kunena3 is in the list of forums that can be imported. Just go to /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter after having installed WordPress and bbPress.

Pascal.

[Robin W]

bbpress uses wordpress registration.

wordpress assumes that you will need a role, so requires all users to have one.

The wordpress toolbar is frankly horrible.

so simplest solution is to hide the toolbar for all but non admins

there are several plugins available to do this

eg https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-admin-bar-from-non-admins/

[panda666uk]

Are there any free tools/files/code out there to migrate a Kunena forum on a joomla site over to bbpress on a wordpress site ?

Thanks

If you post a hyperlink using the link button then it matters not if it’s http or https as it’s just a reference on the page that does not download anything but if you use the img button then if your site is SSL and the image comes from a source that’s not then the certificate throws warnings.

I don’t want to change all links to https as that overkill so I’m looking for the best way to just change links using the <img/> tag to https as using this does not work:

<img src="i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />

but does outside of WordPress ie in MYBB that is how you avoid certificate issues.

[Col_Blimp]

Hi Robin, you know images from my own site are all SSL so WordPress works in this instance but its with BBPress when the user makes a post and uses the insert image button to link an image from another site that the problems occour ie:

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
<img src="i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />

but this site here is changing the http to https in all links so the demonstration is a bit of a fail 🙂

But a non https url will not break a certificate as that only happens if the link is embedding something in the post.

[Robin W]

but if you do want to change it throughout your site use

Velvet Blues Update URLs

and change the http to https

[Robin W]

WordPress doesn’t seem to like it when you do that and wont show any image.

wordpress will quite happily show images with no domain name just the directory & file

eg

change

http://www.mysite.com/uploads/2017/march/pic.jpg  

to

/uploads/2017/march/pic.jpg
