I am running the latest BBPress 2.3 and I don’t see any link for the user to be able to update their profile (i.e. avatar, signature, password, etc.). So, I want to be able to put a hyperlink in the menu or somewhere else on my wordpress site that allows the user to access this page. I have found it to reside in http://www.domain.com/forums/users/nameofuser
The problem is, I can’t figure out a way to call out the username in the url. I tried http://www.domain.com/forums/users/%s and that didn’t work. I am using permalinks and tried http://www.domain.com/forums/users/%username%/ and still nothing.
Someone please help, thank you!
it seems as though this plugin. 404 simple redirect
does not work correctly with bbpress users,when a new user decides to click on their profile link. i.e picture or name
to go to their profile, they are redirected to the 404 pagewould like to know if their is a exception to this or a quick fix?
and can anyone helpZ! please! urgently!the link to the plugin site is here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/404-simple-redirect/Topic: Username exposure
With the most recent botnet attack on WordPress powered websites, I’m (once again) reviewing the measures I take to secure my WP installations.
Most WP admins understand the importance of not using the default “admin” username when setting up a site. Many WP admins do not realize that simply using a different main admin username is not enough. That username should be “obscure” (not easily guessed) and it certainly should not be the same as the publicly displayed “nickname” that is associated with the user account. Those need to be different – this helps to prevent bots and bad people from getting the first part of your login credentials = your username.
While I been taking action to ensure this is the case on the WP sites I manage, I’ve noticed a problem with the way that bbpress displays username information. Even if a user has a “nickname” that is different from the actual username – when you hover over a link to the user’s profile the URL will show the actual username (the one you are trying to hide through obscurity).
There is an older thread on the WP forums that seems to suggest that this is not a WP core issue, but rather a plugin/theme coding issue. I don’t know if that is correct, or not. But, it is an issue in any case and needs to be addressed.
Topic: TAGContent error
Hi,
I’ve been trying numerous times to convert from vBulletin 3.8.1 to bbPress 2.3.
I get most of it converted until I get this message:
***** = database username`WordPress database error: [Table ‘******.tagcontent’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(tagcontent.contentid USING “utf8”) AS contentid,convert(tagcontent.tagid USING “utf8”) AS tagid,convert(tag.tagtext USING “utf8”) AS tagtext FROM tagcontent AS tagcontent INNER JOIN tag AS tag USING (tagid) LIMIT 0, 100`Any ideas what it means and how to fix? I can’t get pass this step and it screws the forum up, even if I repair the forum.
and as a result, it won’t allow the users replies to transfer either.
I’m not a website developer. I’m just a user of WP for two sites. I have a third site that I had a developer set up which is a forum and it is run with phpbb (he said this is what I should use).
What frustrates me is the huge DIFFICULTY in installing a “mod.” I don’t want to have to contact my web developer to install a mod every time I need one. That’s why ALL my websites (except this forum one) are run on wordpress – I can install/change just about anything on it myself within seconds.
What I’m wondering is, if I switch to bbpress is the installation of plugins just like wordpress? I don’t have any problem with that because it’s just click on a couple of buttons. Phpbb on the other hand, requires me to edit files and write code for a “mod” installation. It’s time-consuming and drives me nuts.
My forum is http://www.ForumJudo.com if that matters to your recommendations. I just basically want a site where users can send/receive private messages, vote on posts, post video/audio files, start topics, mods can delete posts & ban users, etc., and possibly a chat feature in the future.
I just know that phpbb is too difficult to install “mods.” I don’t want to learn code.
Thanks for any advice on this!
Hi,
My website recently went live, and despite experiencing problems with bbpress in the past, I decided to use it to host my forums.
Everything’s working out so far (knock on wood), except that the unique post anchors (http://website.com/forums/topic/topic-title/#post-1234) that show up, for example, in the ‘recent replies’ widget are giving the following error:
`Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/74/10646774/html/index.php:1) in /home/content/74/10646774/html/renewal/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876`
Caveat: I have permalinks set to numeric and have installed WP in a subdirectory (in this case, “renewal”) which I now use as the wordpress URL while keeping the site URL as http://domain.com so that I didn’t have to move the wordpress directory.
All forums work fine, and navigating topics isn’t an issue–it’s only these unique post IDs that are throwing the error (and rendering the above-mentioned bbpress widget useless).
Any suggestions?

Topic: Forum Not showing on website
I have installed bbpress, and I can use everything in the dashboard to set up the forum and create topics, etc. But when I go to forum I created there is nothing there. I am using the Mercato Premium WordPress Theme. Can you help me find out how to get the forum to show in my template.
