bbPress 0.9 users should install my unofficial “block-long-queries” mini-plugin to avoid the security bug that 1.0.3 fixes and similar unknown attacks in the future.

(it also works in 1.0 and WordPress)

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Block Long Queries (for bbPress and WordPress)

*/



if (strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])>255 ||

preg_match('@(eval|base64|unescape)[^a-zA-Z0-9]@si',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))

{

header('HTTP/1.1 414 Request-URI Too Long');

header('Status: 414 Request-URI Too Long');

header('Connection: Close');

exit;

}

They just announced it to the world this morning so I hope the 1.x users have upgraded to 1.0.3

http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/Mar/155

I suspect it was not enough time but there never is.

Note that my “block-long-queries” mini-plugin will protect you from this kind of attack and other yet unknown ones via the URL (GET requests)

It will work in both bbPress and WordPress

There is really no reason to allow URIs to be longer than 255 characters but apache will allow up to 4000 by default which can carry a massive payload. I have seen some wordpress installs that need that limit bumped up to 320 or even 512, something about the akismet plugin needs very long URIs for some bad reason.

Alright, so after running the install. I get these errors:

Your installation completed with some minor errors. See the error log below for more specific information.

I have tried dropping all the bbPress tables and reinstalling it, but the problem still persists. I get this error message everytime after running the install script. I am running PHP 5.3.5 and MySQL 5.5.8 on a WAMP localhost server. Also, I am trying to integrate bbPress with my current WordPress blog…

Thanks in advance,

I don’t understand what you did. When you change the folder name, the pretty permalinks gets confused. All you have to do is go into permalinks settings and save without making any changes. This works the same way in WordPress.

My turn! I did one for the whole plugin repository: http://nightgunner5.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/bbpress-plugin-repository-the-movie/

All of the WordPress Foundation forums are linked. If you can log in and post here, the same information works on the WordPress.org support forums.

mindacatur, did you seriously need to bump a year-old topic just to say you were going to use software unrelated to this forum?

Hello all!

I’ve been thinking about SimplePress integration with your WordPress installation. It worked fine with me a few months ago.Give it a shot.May be it needs some customization on its template.Just an opinion.

After all, bbPress and buddyPress are all WordPress family product.

Regards.

I’m having a similar issue. When I log in via WordPress first, then I go to bbPress, it tells me that I’m logged in, and the Admin link is visible. But when I click the admin link, it just returns to the same page, and doesn’t go to the dashboard.

To get around it, I log out of BOTH WordPress and bbpress, then go back into bbpress and log in as Admin. When done in this order, I’m able to click the “Admin” link and access the dashboard.

By the way, I’m running Linux/4GH, PHP 5.x, MySQL on godaddy.com. I have the latest versions of WordPress (3.1) and bbPress(1.0.3) installed.

Thanks – new here – and to forums.

I don’t think there is a mail service running on the server, though I’m sure I can add one. I just need to know what to ask for.

I have a bb_press account here (obviously else I wouldn’t be posting).

I went to create an account at WordPress.org was told my username was already taken… thinking I may have just forgotten I created one and lost the password tried to use the password reset.

I received a reset email addressed to the address I used for bb_press.org signup – so obviously the databases are linked.

I requested a reset through the link on the first email, WordPress.org told me an email had been sent with new password to the address they have on file.

The email never arrived.

Tried again, same results.

Came here, reset my password here, the reset process completed fully (although bb_press.org told me I had an ‘invalid key’ when logging in with my new password, but nonetheless here I am logged in anyway).

Tried to login to WordPress.org with new password, no dice.

Couldn’t find a way to contact admins so posting here.

Hey Mike,

Welcome! I’m not a dev here, but currently there is an effort to rewrite bbpress as a wordpress plugin. This process is making many plugins for bbpress obsolete. There is some discussion about making it possible to use bbpress plugins with the new bbpress-plugin in WP, but that feature is not guaranteed.

Despite the effort towards bbpress-plugin, there likely will remain a community around bbpress standalone which will continue to use the current plugins. You are welcome to continue writing plugins for the standalone version. I am not sure, however, how you should go about submitting that since I am not a dev. Perhaps jumping on the bbpress IRC channel you can find someone.

As a sidenote, from what I understand, most people use a combination of Akismet and a human test to prevent spam. For those who desire a CAPTCHA, there is already a reCAPTCHA plugin available.

Best of luck!
