I have to do a redirect of bbpress url with ip but if I disable the wp url rewrite the wp urls continue to be half translated and do not use the ip..

Can I have the confirmation that the url of the bbpress treads without url regrite is

Thanks

Until bbpress fixes this, the following code will correct

add_filter ('bbp_blacklist_keys' , 'rew_disallowed_keys') ;

function rew_disallowed_keys () {
	$moderation = trim( get_option( 'disallowed_keys' ) );
return $moderation ;
}

If you are using

bbp style pack

a new version incorporating this fix will be released shortly and the fix will automatically be applied – with an option in bbPress bug fixes tab to turn that off if you don’t want it, or are using you own code

We had a rash of spam coming into our form today and we were confused because even after adding keywords in to the “Disallowed Comment Keys” in WordPress we were still seeing posts making it through to the forums that contained words we put into that list.

I think I found a bug in bbPress, and man, it must be rather longstanding… I found a post in the forum from about two years ago that talked about the reworking of the blacklist to using the disallow list [or that the name of the list had changed], and maybe this crept in at that time.

Here is the code:

bbpress/includes/common/functions.php:
866 // Strict mode uses WordPress “blacklist” settings
867 if ( true === $strict ) {
868 $hook_name = ‘blacklist’;
869 $option_name = ‘disallow_keys’;

In actuality, the key name in the options table is ‘disallowed_keys’.

I changed the code on our site and it seems to have stopped the flood. Would you take a look and see if I am correct about this? If not, please let me know and I will revert our copy and apologize for the false alarm. 🙂

Thanks!
Steve

ok, I use captcha.

This guide is quite good at explaining, but you will need to create a google account first.

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>column display

[Robin W]

it could be one of a few dozen reasons 🙂

At the moment your site is downloading 2 x bbpress.min.css to the browser together with one bbpress.css, so without soending a lot if time, it is hard to see what changes are in which.

Can you take out/deactivate your additional plugin and the custom css and then install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Custom CSS

and put the

#bbpress-forums {
	width: 85% !important;
	margin: 0 auto !important;
}

in there.

It it does not work, LEAVE that change active, and I may be able to see through the browser what is happening in the background

reply threading means that you can reply to a reply and it will show against that reply, it lets a thread go in many directions – personally I hate it and would not use it.

‘Voices’ means the number of different people who have contributed to a thread.

As to your original question, I cannot replicate the issue, so I can only suggest you try the standard fault finding viz:

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back

shortcode on my Forum page:
[bbp-single-forum id=846]

I would like to remove the “POST COMMENT” section on my Forum page (R.E.D. “Crew Lounge”).

In my Settings/Discussions page, I made sure that ALL of the boxes there are unchecked.

Is there a way to remove the “POST COMMENT”? section?

When I click on a post, I want it to display only seven replies per page, but no matter how I set it, it shows all replies on the same page.

Sorry but I do not confirm my issue still happens with Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen, I think it is no matter.

[bbp-topic-index]
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=846]

My site has only one forum (id=846), but when I add the shortcode
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=846], the dropdown for Forum: still defaults to –No forum –.

I researched this and found that the shortcode
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=846] is supposed to fix this, but it is not working for me.

I have installed the bbPress plugin. Everything appears on the screen correctly, except this screen:

Would you be so kind as to tell me how I can make the rows look closer together? I have tried everything that I know.

bbp style pack

[Robin W]

not quite sure what you are asking, as colours do not relate to tags.

If you want to style your forum, then use

bbp style pack

[Robin W]

Start with adding

bbp style pack

and for ranking and badges

bbp user ranking

Hello everyone,

I’m currently setting up a forum on my WordPress site using the bbPress plugin. While the basic setup was straightforward, I’m now looking to customize the forum’s layout and enhance its functionality to better suit the needs of my community. Specifically, I’m interested in adjusting the forum layout to match my site’s theme, implementing user-friendly navigation menus, and adding features like user badges or ranks. I’ve come across various tutorials, but I’m seeking comprehensive resources or guides that delve into these customization aspects in more detail. Additionally, if any engineering-focused projects or examples demonstrate advanced bbPress customizations, I’d love to explore them. Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated!

bbpress ends subscriptions to noreply@mysite.com with a bcc to the subscribers.

A lot of email systems don’t like this, as that email address does not actually exist and/or the bcc’s make it look like spam.

so 2 things you could do

1. amend the sending from address to one that exists usiing

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails and amend the email address

2. use

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

which whilst old, still works as far as I know

I’ve downloaded the ‘bb-topic-deleter’ plugin.

When I try to upload it in WordPress plugins, all the files are grayed out, and I’m unable to select any of them for upload.

I would really like to use this plugin. Any suggestions?

TIA

Hi all,

I am having some troubles with the e-mail notifications that bbpress can send to subscribers. I use the WP Mail SMTP pro plugin to send e-mails from the website.

WP Mail SMTP pro perfectly handles wordpress native e-mails, such as the account activation links for new users, password reset links etc.

It does not appear to send the bbpress messages through this SMTP method. Nothing to see in the logs also.

Does anyone has had a similair problem? Is there a setting for this? Or does a custom function fix this issue?

Thank you in advance!

[Robin W]

what theme are you running?

You can add

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

and you can add to the menu

I just installed bb press and installed bbPress WP Tweaks. I am trying to add login and register and lost password however the sidebar does not show. I am using the latest version of WordPress. What other option do I have to allow users to register, etc.

Hello.

I have a WordPress site with a configured BBPress Forum and a WPMAIL SMTP plugin.

I recently started receiving 2 mistakes that appear at the same time on the WPMAIL SMTP event log.

On WPMAIL SMTP I tested the sending of emails, and the site is sending email normally.
What may be causing these EVENTS?

See topic on WPMAIL SMTP FORUM:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-related-log-events/

[Robin W]

add this plugin and use to test if email is working

I’d be happy to take part in testing! I have a large live forum with over 10,000 topics. Let me know when the free AI model appears. P.S. – I’m going to test wordpress.org— ai-engine plugin – but more with the MCP purpose for administration
