It is not really moderated on the bbPress site plugins page, it just pulls plugins with the bbPress tag from the WordPress repository.

Yes, some developers do this and many other things to possibly increase sales in their premium plugins.

I do not really like some of the tactics they do to try to gain an increase in sales in their premium plugins either.

This should really go to the make plugins team I think for a suggestion of stricter tagging and plugin submission.

For the bbPress plugins page I think we will think about it, I might contact the devs tomorrow about it to see if they have any opinions on fully moderating plugins in the list. It would defiantely be time consuming moderating plugins on bbpress.org unless the tagging process was sticter.

[Robkk]

This fixes the list issue.

#bbpress-forums li {
    list-style: none !important;
}

I created a user called “deleteme” and I see the issue you are talking about.

Do you have multisite enabled or at least a subsite for testing.

the wp-login.php page leads to yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php instead of just yoursite.com/wp-login.php.

Check it out right now to see if I am even a user to just the yoursite.com site. If I am see that I am even have a forum role like participant.

The redirect to the home page is because of some piece of code in bbPress for the frontend login forms. You can easily fix this by setting it where Admins can go the Admin and other users redirect to the home page using the plugin you have already installed.

Does it ever get maintained or at the very least, moderated?

it seems plenty of Plugin developers are almost “gaming the system”, it is already hard enough to attract new people to your plugin before you have developers committing readme changes into the recent stable tag, e.g adding a period/removing a period from the end of a sentence. (which, to those unaware, causes their plugin to shoot to the top of the bbPress plugins list almost as if it has just received an update… wherein fact it hasn’t.)

Not to mention the amount of plugins that are in no way related to bbPress, yet still use the bbPress tag?

It doesn’t seem like the plugin guidelines are enforced much either, since every single plugin seems to have a boatload (30+) tags attached some of which aren’t even relevant.

(And to name and shame, here’s one: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Flogin-page-styler&old=1263429&new_path=%2Flogin-page-styler&new=1263429&sfp_email=&sfph_mail= – most recent change to the stable tag was to remove a period from the readme… really? Note, this plugin has a free and premium version… I wonder why it is being bumped constantly…)

It is just frustrating to see this going on in all honesty. The WordPress Plugins page doesn’t suffer from this as it doesn’t display the plugins in a list form.

does %%parent_title%% show the forum title??

I think there is an issue with the bbp_make_clickable() function that is causing this especially the part that leads to the function _make_url_clickable_cb() in WordPress.

bbp_make_clickable() is in

\bbpress\includes\common\formatting.php

bbp_make_clickable

_make_url_clickable_cb() is in

\wp-includes\formatting.php

_make_url_clickable_cb()

Will make a trac ticket once I gather the information to write down.

If I remember correctly I think this allows you sort replies in a topic on a per forum basis.

What does the plugin do?
You can send me the plugin in a zip to my email so I can see what the actual code does, and see if there is a possible fix for it too.

You can send the plugin to the email listed here.

Hello bbPress Users,

Recently I’ve been wanting to create a bbPress forum on my WordPress website. I was able to successfully install the plugin through WordPress, create a new forum, set Settings, etc …

However, I simply cannot login to the new forum I’ve created (The forum looks awful right now, but I’ll worry about that until AFTER its functional): http://epochgames.co.uk/forums/forum/test/

Try yourself to register (which I’ve had no problem with: I receive the registration email, and have seen my account appear in WordPress Dashboard settings related to Users), but then try logging in … when I try logging in, I’m taken back to the same page, with the same login box, and unable to post. And yes, there is a thread there, but I was only able to post it after checking “Allowing guests to post” in Settings, which I’ve since disabled.

I even downloaded Peter’s Login Redirect plugin, and tested my forum account to redirect to a different page on the domain after login … and it does redirect, but I’m still not logged in! Really weird, right?

Also I’ve noticed that when trying to login to WordPress via the wp-login.php page redirects me to the main page, instead of the Dashboard. Thankfully, I am logged into it and can access the Dashboard, just need to use the Dashboard URL. When I disable the bbPress plugin, the WordPress login properly redirects to the DashBoard.

Any ideas what could be wrong? I am definitely a WordPress Newbie, so it could be something simple, but I’ve not found a topic in this problem with this same problem, I’ve skimmed through the FAQ and found nothing about this … any help would be great.

Hola Sole29,

I must admit I don’t know Private Content, but from what I can read on their website, they have a ‘wordpress user system sync’. This should sync the users to wordpress.
Once they are wordpress users, you can grant them rights for bbPress.
That would be my way to go…

I would propose to check with Private Content, because I fear it has to come from that side.

Pascal.

Site: http://www.levelupsolutionscenter.com
Theme: ZippyCourses by Social Trigger
Wordpress: Latest release
bbforums: 2.5.8 (Latest)

I have installed the plugin for bbforums. No issues setting it up. I have created a post that I want to remain at the top of the forum. It is titled, Getting Started. I made it ‘sticky’ believing that this would allow it to be there at the top regardless of what others put in the forum.

When I go in to test as a user who has purchased a course, the user can get to the forum but cannot see the sticky post content. Just the listing in the forum. I set access to participant and open, with automatic membership.

I read your documentation and created a forum registration page and put in your shortcode.

Do users need to register with the forum first to see the content of a post?
If they do and I have the registration page, I can put it in the menu. Is that what I need to do to get registration to people? Is there anything special I need to know to make registration go through and access be granted? Special in setting up the access page?

Question really is: how does a user of the educational material get to see the forum questions/posts?

Thank you!

Wordpress: 4.3
Theme : Bridge 7.5

Hi bbPress!
I have a site with two registration types.
One for instructors user ( by wordpress registration ) the other for Student users (Private content registration – plugin).

I would like a forum where only registered user can partecipate.

There is a problema: The Private Content plugin has a registration that is completely different to the WP login system.

When I login with studente user I can’t reply or create forums.

The students users haven’t capabilities…

what do you recommend ?

Hello there.

I want to use conditionnal tags in order to display some details. The main page (frontpage) of the forum uses a WordPress page but doesn’t keep the content nor the details (SEO details such as meta description).

I want to add some details (content and meta values). I want to make some conditionnal tags and I need to know how I can do.

I checked this forum and Google to know if I can use, with an if, is_bbpress or is_frontpage, but no answers solved my problem.

How can I force anything to be displayed where I want in the main page of the forum? Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Thibaut.

[guillaumemolter]

An even better solution is to use WordPress built-in return false shortcut, this way you don’t have to create a empty function each time.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', '__return_false' );

[mica123]

I’ve just heard from the webhost – there is no caching on the server.
They asked if I have any caching plugins in WordPress which I don’t have.
So I am really stuck.

[Pascal Casier]

First of all, a good database/site backup is always a starting point of course.
Then I suppose you followed the steps for the data cleanup here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/installing-bbpress/deleting-bbpress/ ?

Is your WordPress still working fine since the cleanup that ‘failed’ ?

[barbarabax]

Hello Pascal, i didn’t test locally so is live environment. BBpress 2.5.8 and wordpress 4.3.1
We are talking about 2079 discussion with 17.000 replies
Thanks

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Barbara,

Is this a life system ? Did it work correctly in your test environment ?
What version of bbPress and WordPress are you using ?
How many lines are you talking about ?

Pascal.

[Robkk]

Ideally I’d like to see it appear right on the dashboard so when users log in they can see everything. If bbPress can’t do it if anyone knows of a way to do this I’d be happy to hear. thanks!

THis sounds like some custom development. You made need to hire a developer to try to create this for you. I am not sure if it is possible without basically tearing up the whole plugin, and it will be extremely hard to do.

bbPress should work in a private community though. I think there is some plugins that can just disallow access to view any pages unless you are member out there in the WordPress repository though that might be helpful. Doing it this way would be much easier to do too.

[Robkk]

I think bbPress just uses the code from WordPress since the topic tag clouds code is close to WordPress’s version for regular posts.

You can see the tag cloud on hover displays the number of topics.

https://bbpress.org/forums/

I tried searching what it was, but couldn’t really pinpoint the exact function.

[Robkk]

You can use this php Code function instead if you are not using BuddyPress. Make sure to place it in your child themes functions.php file or in a functionality plugin.

What it does is redirect non-logged in users from see user profile pages to the default WordPress login page.

You can change the page by editing

site_url('wp-login.php');

to something like this if you have a yoursite.com/login page instead.

site_url('/login/');

function rkk_restrict_bbp_user_pages() {

    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {

       if ( bbp_is_single_user() ) {

                    $url = site_url('wp-login.php');

                        // Send them to the new URL
                    wp_redirect( $url );

                    exit;
	}
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'rkk_restrict_bbp_user_pages');

[Robkk]

To enqueue files in your child theme use get_stylesheet_directory_uri.

Put the custom login stylesheets into your child theme named style-login.css or whatever you want to call it, and in the function use get_stylesheet_directory_uri instead of template_directory.

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

Will check out the other topic in a minute.

Hi, I’ve been researching some tools for creating an intranet within WordPress and one page directed me to bbPress… but the features list doesn’t explain too much so I’d like to ask if anyone knows whether bbPress can be integrated within the backend of my WordPress site. Ideally I’d like to see it appear right on the dashboard so when users log in they can see everything. If bbPress can’t do it if anyone knows of a way to do this I’d be happy to hear. thanks!

[mica123]

No, I am not in an enterprise environment. I am at home and I am testing the bbpress on the live site. I log in as admin or another user as moderator or another user as participant. It is the same. As it is now close to midnight, I’ll continue testing tomorrow and report back. I wonder if WordPress needs flushing its cache or something – never did it before. Just a thought.

How can I prevent “nofollow” from being added to my internal links on bbPress posts? (I have the latest version of bbPress and WordPress)

The “nofollow” attribute is being added to my internal links on my website (DCJTech.info). However, this issue only occurs on bbPress posts, but not WordPress pages. Here is an example of the problem (bbPress post) – http://dcjtech.info/topic/general-unixoid-topics/

I have tried commenting out the below lines from ./includes/core/filters.php, but without success. I also cleared the cache (server and browser) and waited a minute before checking the page’s source code.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );

I used ‘grep -r -e “follow” ./plugins‘ to find all code that may be inserting “nofollow”, and I also searched my theme and mu-plugins. In addition, I searched my SQL database (via phpMyAdmin) for “follow”. I did not find any plugin, setting, etc. that could be causing this problem. There were no “nofollow” attributes in the posts either. I also searched my plugins for “bbp_rel_nofollow”.

I disabled “External Links” and commented out the previously mentioned bbPress code (and cleared the cache), but the “nofollow” attribute was still on my internal links.

I thoroughly checked the WordPress codex website, forums (like https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/turning-no-follow-links-to-do-follow/ ), etc., but I cannot find a solution or cause.

Hello total noob here. I am having an issue with implementing bbpress forums into WordPress. This is the first time (besides collage 20+ years ago) that I have messed around with websites. So please excuse my ignorance and incorrect terminology.

versions:
Wordpress 3.2.1
bbPress 2.5.8
Theme Tesseract 2
Turnkey WordPress Vmware virtual appliance ip 192.168.1.230

The problem I am having is:

I created a page that would hold my forums called MOUSE (named it mouse to stop confusing myself) so 192.168.1.230/mouse. On that edit page for mouse, I added a row and inside that that row I have 2 virtual editors widgets. Inside one widget, I have the “bbPress Form list”. In the other widget I have added this bit of code. “[bbp-forum-index]”

When I go to 192.168.1.230/mouse I see a page that has the Page Attributes, forums list, and formatted exactly how I want it. Its when I click a forum topic that everything changes. The URL changes to 192.168.1.230/forums/forums/theforumtopic and all formatting has been lost.

Obviously this is not the behavior I want, but I have no idea how to ask to fix it or what is not working. I know I am not able to easily edit the 192.168.1.230/forum. And by edit I mean not able to add rows and widgets or able to change any page attributes. What I would like is when i go to 192.168.1.230/mouse/theforumtopic that it carry’s forward any type of formatting I did for the page /mouse

No idea if that makes any since to you guys. If it does, can you offer any suggestions or something I could look up to fix the issue? I am not sure what the exact problem is so its really hard to search for an answer! lol 🙂

Thanks
