since it uses wordpress registration, and wordpress plugin will work

several plugins for example

https://wordpress.org/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/
and

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/user-meta/

neither tested just suggesting examples !

[Pascal Casier]

Ahhh, correct, I had already opened a bug for that: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2906

I’m checking if there is a wordaround…

Hi luyenthitoeic,

I would agree with @robkk, those links are worth a try. You can actually decide what works for you best by checking thier active instals and ratings by users. Then you can have a look at the screenshots to decide if that is what you would like to go with. I feel its better to go with somethings that has been developed already, tried and tested by users then tryin to build something fresh.

My choice from the lot (as mentioned by @rorkk):

I found an answer that solves my question here:

Meta Title for Profile Pages w/ Yoast SEO

For those who want to noindex in particular the replies of all mebers just add

<META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” />

to the “user-replies-created.php” in the folder
wordpress > wp-content > plugins > bbpress > templates > default > bbpress

This stackoverflow topic might help.

Hi All–

I know this issue has been covered a dozen times, but I can’t seem to find an appropriate answer as it’s always been resolved by running an update.

Whenever a reply is posted on our site, it fails to appear. We ARE using a custom theme, so I suspect that this is likely the root of the problem. However, if someone can help point more towards WHAT we should be including in our themes to make sure that the replies display, I’d be grateful.

Here’s a link to a topic page where the replies do not show:
https://www.mta.org/forums/topic/cmt-level-1-exam-ethics/

Thus far, I’ve already:
– Updated to the latest WordPress
– Updated to the latest BuddyPress
– Ran a repair on the tables
– Changed to a default theme to confirm it’s a theme issue

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

@rono2 mostly focus on this guide below.

@tech55541 I found this.

Then use the registration_redirect: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/registration_redirect

no simple way to remove using css

You could just download my plugin and have it as a proper date

Hello, Is there a way to Display Topic Tag Description as Meta Description. That is the way it works in WordPress Tags but unfortunately Meta Name=”Description” is missing in the current version of BBpress.

[Pascal Casier]

Yep, what you put there is valid for your whole WordPress instance.

Wordpress: 4.3.3
bbPress: 2.5.8

I’m not sure if this is where I should ask this. I am trying to create my own gui under the author profile in wordpress that combines several different plugin information in one place. I thought bbp_get_user_topics_started() would return an array of the topics a user created, but instead I get boolean true.

ie: $user_id = 1; $result = bbp_get_user_topics_started($user_id);

Now it correctly tells me that user_id 1 has created topics, and bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw returns the right number of topics. Am I using this function incorrectly?

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/global-admin-bar-hide-or-remove/

or if you know code

add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');

[Robin W]

yes my plugin private groups

Hello,

I have BBPress 0.9 on an older website of mine and I would like to upgrade to the current WordPress version. Since my website is a simple static website I was thinking about installing WordPress in the /forums/ directory and add the BBPress plugin.

Is the above possible?

Thank you.

Hi all,

I’m working on a website (being hosted locally for now) which should have a forum translated to Dutch. I’m following all the necessary steps to my knowledge, have downloaded the stable, 100% completed language files, uploaded them to the correct folder as mentioned on this site, but the translation isn’t kicking in.

Under Settings in our WordPress Admin panel we have set the language to Dutch (Formal), I read that this isn’t desired because the translation for the forum might not kick in? Should I use the other route instead, adding a line in the wp-config file, pointing to accompanying translation files?

WP version is 4.4.2
bbPress version is 2.5.8.

I hope some of you may recognize the problems I’m having and can steer me in the right direction. Thank you in advance for your time and help!

Kind regards, Blux78

I am quiet new to this whole WordPress and bbPress world lol, but I am learning at a very quick pace. I have a blog-style page where my forum is located. Now two things first; Is there a way that I can add an image into the (i believe its called) menu sidebar area of the page my forum is on? Second; is there a way that I can permanently rewrite the forum background color at all to a black background or transparent? I have a black background on my website and then this white box appears with the forum in it. Hopefully pretty easy stuff to fix/or alter. Thanks ahead of time for all the help!

John “RONO2”

P.S. Must add that I’m doing this all in a sub-domain visible to only me. So at best I can only provide screen shots.

[RONO2]

Pascal, so where exactly would I put those particular 3 codes at in the wordpress? or actually in the css section of the theme editor?

[Robin W]

Whilst I can see some of your concerns, there are no security concerns that bbpress will let your users access your wordpress site backend – none of us would use bbpress if it had backdoors like that.

You core issue seem to stem from

I had to install some bbPress code in my functions file to stop non-administrator profiles from seeing the WordPress main menu at the top of the forum.

Please explain further? or give us the code you used.

With that, in having to add code such as this I subsequently shut down my entire site due to adding code the functions.php file that it didn’t like. Not a good situation for me.

That is a wordpress issue, and if you are not good at coding you should not be editing files ion a live site. You really need a test site

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/testing-your-bbpress-installation/creating-a-test-site/

Yes you can set up a separate domain/sub-domain with wordpress and bbpress running, and just show bbpress in this site. BUT you can’t have this administered by the other wordpress site (well at least not at any level of understanding that you would have – you are not ready for multisite 🙂 )

So either you run one site or two sites. 1 site will not give you security issues if set up correctly in wordpress. 2 sites will mean lots of duplication of usernames, double updating, and more room for error.

I’d suggest you look strongly at the test site route – this will force you to learn about how a wordpress site is put together, which will allow you to do changes with confidence of more technical knowledge and no risk to live

Good luck, and do come back and let us know how you get on

But why have I to participant group, default from wordpress and other from bbpress. Is it rigth?

[jaspervanveenhuizen]

Hello! My website currently has a forum for ‘news’ and a forum for ‘other’.
I want my users only to be able to create topics under ‘other’, but not under ‘news’. I do want them to be able to reply to both topics made in ‘news’ and ‘other’.

I tried setting the ‘news’ forum status to closed, and the topics under there on open. But it still makes users unable to reply on them.
Any way I can achieve my goal? Maybe with the help of another plugin?

I’m currently using bbpress with buddypress and the free version of the theme Quest.
I’m running WordPress 4.4.2, bbpress 2.5.8, buddypress 1.9 and Quest 1.4.1 (which are all the latest versions at creation of this topic)

Thanks,
Jasper

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. To answer your questions:

1. Jetpack was installed, but I removed it
2. No security plugins
3. I tried this, but the error still occurs
4. No membership plugins
5. Yes – I have verified my SQL & PHP time is the same as my WordPress time

I have also tried disabling ALL plugins, except for bbPress.
