I’m currently developing an iOS app along with a WordPress site with the bbPress plugin.

I would like to allow any user to easily post links with custom schemes in the forum like :

myappname://badebidobudy/fdjlkqsfj

I saw that in bbPress an admin can indeed post a link and its href is not interpreted so it remains :

href=”myappname://badebidobudy/fdjlkqsfj”

and bbPress tells me why :

> Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.

But when an anonymous user wants to do this, the custom scheme is removed and the resulting a tag href is :

href=”//badebidobudy/fdjlkqsfj”

So my question is : how can I configure (or tweak) WordPress or bbPress to at least accept my url scheme or even recognize a raw link with a custom scheme ?

[Pascal Casier]

You ask, you get ! Here you go : https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-move-topics/

Please check the sticky topics on the support tab for upcoming things.
Try it and PLEASE let me know how it goes (if bad: support tab, if good: review).
For all suggestions or issues about the plugin, make sure to use the support tab there and NOT this global thread anymore.

Enjoy the moves,
Pascal.

@casiepa It’s too late for that. But I’ll try to disable each nonce check manually (from the theme)

@robkk This bug is unrelated to “restore trashed topics” and I don’t know how to reproduce it. But I’d close this thread since the nonce functionality is part of WordPress and not bbpress, right? And also the existence of the nonce check is responsibility of the theme, right?

Thanks, both of you.

@gperez-tl

The fix will make it into 2.6 or earlier I bet.

Haven’t tested the latest patch but I can assume that the issue could be resolved.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2734

@gperez-tl

Post the code you are using for the custom howdy message in the toolbar. I do not think this would cause an issue but just double checking.

Do the same thing with the profile menu items code.

Just know that you said these were bbPress’s issue although the menu system and the WordPress toolbar are both part of WordPress. The registered menu and menu location are your theme. I do not know how bbPress could cause an issue with this.

So, (visiting any author’s profile and) clicking on some of these items will show the author’s data, while clicking in others will retrieve current user profile data or something.

Wait so clicking on anyone’s frontend forum profile could show the current users profile for some reason, or is it just the menu links as you stated.

You did not edit the user profile templates heavily? you said you are receiving issues with users profiles.

IF you haven’t already try to track down what is causing the issues you are getting. Since you have a custom theme see if the issue persists in a default theme like twenty twelve, deactivate all plugins but bbPress.

Troubleshooting

Your profile pages shouldn’t just be magically be cached by bbPress.

You may need to create me a test user account so that I can confirm of the issue you are getting, and to also test other areas the cache issue might be present.

[gperez-tl]

Sorry for the bump. But this is happening still.

Wordpress version 4.3.1
bbpress version 2.5.8

[mica123]

I really wouldn’t know how to do this in my case.
All I can say is that I copied all of my WordPress and database to another site to test it there and I have absolutely no problems there. If I don’t get anywhere with my webhost, I’ll probably have to find another webhost – but I don’t really want to go down that route.

[Robkk]

Yes as @casiepa said there is a limit of forums that can be displayed on the forum root page on yoursite.com/forums by default, and it is 50. It is because you do not really need to use more than 50 forums on your site and it is encouraged that you would need to structure your forums a little better. It is filterable to display more on the forum archive though.

@jorgemuyden

Glad you are sorted on the create forum form. While there is no edit and delete button from the frontend, if you are using the WordPress toolbar on your site, if you go to a single forum you should see an edit forum menu item in the toolbar that leads to the backend, if you edit the forum you can also trash it from there too. Hopefully that will help a little bit.

[gperez-tl]

Hi. Yes, I edit a file, add a blank line or something and save. Files in my case are:
user-profile.php
user-replies-created.php
user-subscriptions.php
etc

I don’t know if the names are the conventional names or just the ones my theme set.

Anyway there’s no real need to do this. Reloading with ctrl+F5 usually do the trick.

I don’t have a real solution yet. And I’m not sure if the problem is with bbpress or wordpress. Or with something else. But I know wordpress use to cache stuff. That’s clear when you develop a plugin and things just don’t change (unless you add rules to .haccess).

[Pascal Casier]

Hi sey88,

If it’s specifically about BuddyPress, then you better ask in another forum, but it seems plugin exists there too (e.g. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-disable-activation-reloaded/ ).

Pascal.

[Robkk]

@sey88

You just talking about the default WordPress registration process right?? If you have BuddyPress installed also, this has an activate link process too. I am just making sure since BuddyPress is one of the most used plugins in conjunction with bbPress.

As @casiepa said it is possible to use a frontend form plugin to just get around this whole process activation process.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi sey88,

This seems wordpress related and not bbpress related.
On my site I have the ‘Theme my login’ plugin installed where in the ‘Moderation’ part I have chosen not to send the email verification.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi kamenlee,

First of all, you can refer to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-users-auto-subscribe-to-one-forum/ if you know how to code and try from there to automate.

Otherwise you can start with this plugin and perform it manually if somebody registers to your site (if your userbase is not that big) : https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/ . The ‘automation’ and ‘bulk options’ are not yet there but should hopefully come in some weeks.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi aycreative,
As Robkk asked, please explain a bit better what you want to obtain.

A lot is happening in wordpress and bbpress, so post IDs are growing all the time. Every post, page, revision, email sent, topic, reply, … takes the next number. This means that adding 2 topics with 5 minutes in between could result is an increase of post ID of tens or hundreds because of things happening in wordpress.

Pascal.

Hello, I need your help desperately! It’s one month now that i try to import my old forum into bbpress. Before, it was on vbulletin and i had no success. So i migrated vbulletin on a fresh phpbb installation and from there i’ve tryied again to migrate on bbpress. But this time is even worse!
I have the following problems:
forum repair recalculate the position of each reply gives me a blank page
on front page replies are not present, there’s just the first topic
on backend, if i try to access to replies, i have internal server error (when i’ve imported vbulletin i had the same 2 problems but at least i could access replies from backend)
I’m almost giving up as i lost so much time on it and i’m still stucked with the same problems.
Please help me!
Wordpress 4.3.1
BBPRESS 2.5.8
Theme: Hueman (issues are the same also on theme twenty twelve ecc)
noimamme.it/forums
Thanks
Barbara

[Robkk]

I just split your reply into a topic so that you can have your own topic about this.

Please do not bump topics, especially topics that are about 8 years old.

If you are using the latest bbPress plugin.

To get the user’s username use

<?php 
  global $current_user;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  echo $current_user->user_login;
?>

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

You can also just use the WordPress toolbar.

[Robkk]

Where do I add those lines of code?

It is CSS put it in your child themes style.css file, a custom css plugin, or anywhere you can put custom css.

I assume you want me to edit one of the PHP files

No, never edit the plugin core files, unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing. Since you are a novice, just do not do it.

I don’t know what “multisite” is.

Since you do not know what it is, I am going to assume you do not have it. You do not need it to solve this issue so no need to install any plugins, just curious if you have it. I see it is probably that you have a test enviroment of WordPress because you are planning on migrating to a WordPress/bbPress install from phpBB.

Yes, your deleteme user does appear in the Users list.

Does it have the Participant forum role too?

Alright, so I assume you’re talking about Peter’s Login Redirect plugin, and I assume I’ll need to edit the settings under Settings -> Login/logout redirects, correct?

You seem to be getting that together. Not sure why you are redirecting to the forums especially a specific forum, but yeah you got it.

I created a test Subscriber user, which in fact is redirected upon logging in, but isn’t logged in (of course that code you recommended still needs added in).

The code I gave you helped remove the bullet list displaying in your forums.

Again thank you for trying to help Robkk, but I would definitely like it if you could be a bit more descriptive in what I need to do to fix this login problem

We still have to troubleshoot what is causing the user to not seem to be have access to the forums.

Try some of these troubleshooting steps listed in this guide to see if it could be theme/custom theme related like if you copied the bbPress customizable templates into your child theme and edited them and messed something up on accident, check to see if a plugin could be causing an issue, you can check to see if caching could be an issue by flushing cache from your site, if you edited the bbPress and ever do not remember what you edited you can reinstall a fresh version of the plugin to see if it fixes the issue also.

Troubleshooting

Do not just go deleting cache files from WordPress or code in bbPress.

[mica123]

@casiepa, @robkk

Just to let you know that my webhost seems to have acknowledged that there is a problem and is going to do something in WordPress itself. Hopefully this will be sorted.

[names_are_useless]

Where are the cache files located? And I assume you mean bbPress cache files? Or do you mean WordPress cache files as a whole?

[names_are_useless]

Thank you for trying to help Robkk.

Where do I add those lines of code? I assume you want me to edit one of the PHP files (click “Edit” for bbPress plugin). I just tried adding it to “bbpress/bbpress.php” (since its the first php file that comes up) at the end of the file. I received a “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘-‘, expecting ‘(‘ in /var/www/vhosts/laysofalthas.com/epochgames/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 933”. There’s a bunch of other php files, and I have no idea where I’m supposed to put that code snippet (novice here), so I’m just going to delete that code and wait for further instructions.

I don’t know what “multisite” is. Looking through the plugin list, I see several (Multisite Toolbar Additions, Multisite Global Search, etc). Would you recommend I add one of them? Can you give me the specific name of one?

Alright, so how can I fix it so “yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php” leads to “yoursite.com/wp-login.php” instead?

Yes, your deleteme user does appear in the Users list.

Alright, so I assume you’re talking about Peter’s Login Redirect plugin, and I assume I’ll need to edit the settings under Settings -> Login/logout redirects, correct? I have now set the “administrator” role to go to the URL “yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/” and it works perfectly, so thank you. I have also set it so Subscribers are redirected to “http://epochgames.co.uk/forums/forum/test/&#8221; when they login. I created a test Subscriber user, which in fact is redirected upon logging in, but isn’t logged in (of course that code you recommended still needs added in). Can’t say I’m overjoyed that I have to change the URL to the forums every time I want to login as an administrator account, but at least I can get to the Dashboard now without having to memorize the URL.

Again thank you for trying to help Robkk, but I would definitely like it if you could be a bit more descriptive in what I need to do to fix this login problem. I am very much a novice still with WordPress.

[Robkk]

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.

[Jake Hall]

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.

[Robkk]

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