Hi all:

I’m using wordpress 4.5.; bbpress 2.5.9.
I learned that when user reply to a topic, their forum role display right next to their profile image. Is it anyway I can move the forum role beneath the profile image instead next to it?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

From the Popup Maker author, via https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-bbpress-plugin?replies=8#post-8381778

From the looks of that error it appears that bbPress is actually the culprit here. Looks like they are applying a filter to all queries of every post type, and for whatever reason the data they are looking for is empty. Basically they are missing what we call a sanity check (making sure data matches the type we expect. In this case calling in_array without making sure that the data is actually an array. Likely the error is common( not just with popup maker but potentially other custom post types), but your only seeing it because your site because you have WP_DEBUG enabled and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY turned on. Without those on the error would be logged but page load just fine.

I have not seen this before, but am happy to investigate.

Is this an existing install of bbPress or a new one? IE Can I easily duplicate the problem simply by enabling both or could it be that you have 1000s of topics and replies which for whatever reason is leading to issues.

Finally found the culprit. Popup Maker appears to conflict, which was tough to locate because it wasn’t activate, then was activated.

I will create a support ticket with them (https://wordpress.org/plugins/popup-maker/) Thank you again for your help.

Greetings,

I made some languages tweaks in my bbpress-fr_FR.mo and bbpress-fr_FR.po files to make sure that when the forums are browse on mobile (portrait), then the strings ‘Participants‘ and ‘Articles‘ would not overlap (horizontally) each other. I translated those to short and sweet: ‘Voix‘ and ‘Posts‘

I used to edit the French language file with Loco Translator but now, for some reason I don’t understand, Trying to save the translation generates an “ERROR: Forbidden”

Also every time you upgrade bbpress language files and that I upgrade some plugins, the languages files are forced in and my French custom file gets overwritten. That is starting to be irritating. A chance I have a backup, but… this should not be the default behaviour. Isn’t it?

Please note, I found this “Error: Forbidden” problem with some other plugins where the .pot file had a missing language header.

Kind Regards,

Our website is currently down.
However, I have been using WordPress 4.5 with BBPress 2.5.8.

I do not want my forum to be accessible to the public or through Google searches.

Our website was developed to have usernames and passwords to access a log-in area where the forum is held.
The settings for the forum were set as:
Status: Open
Visibility: Public

We’ve since found out that topics can be found on Google with these settings. Our web developer says that the settings don’t matter.

So, my question is: How do we create a forum that is not accessible to the public/Google?

Not totally sure what you want, but try my style plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
which has both breadcrumb, and layout options

Funny, I could have sworn reply notifications worked when we were first testing and trying to find a forum platform that met our needs. Must have hallucinated that!

Email notifications are fine for some things, but on a very active discussion board they would be overwhelming.

I’ve been trying to hack the code in the includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php file. But I’m pretty green with both php and wordpress/bbpress development. It does look like all the parts are there to extend it. But I’m a bit perplexed about some things in the code.

Hello!

I’m ready to install wordpress with bbPress

I need to say if there is a way to convert my forum IP.Board (By Invision Power Board) to bbPress

I see that there are plugin that works only with old version of IP.Board (from 1.0 to 3.4)

Thanks you so much!

Daniele

Should this still work? It doesn’t seem to close the topics in my case. Just wondering if it’s me doing something wrong or that this doesn’t apply anymore.
WordPress version: 4.5.2
bbPress version: 2.5.9
Child theme: Canvas WooThemes

This is the code I’ve got in the plugin now, from all the code @robin-w provided.

I have bbPress & BuddyPress installed on my site (the newest versions of both: 2.5.9 & 2.5.2 respectively. On WordPress 4.5.2

Notifications had been working nicely – users where notified when someone replied to either a topic they posted or a reply in a thread. Now only the person who started the topic gets a notification to their topic or their replies in the thread, and with replies they get two notifications – one that says the correct name of who it’s from and another saying it’s from their name.

I disabled all other plugins and turned off my theme and activated the Twentysixteen theme to test.

A separate but related issue – it would be *very* nice if the notification link went to the actual reply instead of the topic at the top of the page. This had seemed kind of promising: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-reply-notification-link-to-the-reply/

Hi all,

Been googling and searching here and WordPress etc for days and no luck. Previous threads here showing plugins that no longer exist.

I’m looking to disable users from changing their display & nicknames on the forum so only their username is displayed.

Currently using bbPress with WP User Manager

Please note that the text editor is now missing after updating to 2.5.9. Currently running wordpress 4.5.1

Hi im new to bbpress and have some questions to ask.

1) How do you hide the wordpress top bar for subscribers, subscribers dont need to use the top bar to access to the forum. I dont wish users to know that they are using a wordpress website.

2) How do you increase the size of the font for the main forum? The description of the sub forums are too small, would love to change the font type and its size.

[jawittdesigns]

When you go to edit a topic or reply what filter is used to render the content in the editor.

The issue I’m having is I have markdown support for the forum instead of the normal code button.

So I use three back ticks at the beginning and end for code blocks. It works fine until you go to edit. Something is stripping out 2 of the back ticks on the code block.

I figure its a filter, but I can’t figure out which one.

bbPres v2.5.9
WordPress v4.5.1

Found the cause. I’m posting to o-norge.no/ and the i get redirected to the site url o-norge.no/wordpress/forum, and then the POSt is gone

[Artisantopia]

HI. I have the following structure:

– Private Group
– – Private Forum Category
– – – Private Forum
– – – Private Forum
– – – Private Forum

So, a private group that has a forum. The top level forum is of type category, then the child forums are all private forums.

If a user that is not a member visits the Group or Forum Category they cannot see anything and are shown the option to request membership.

But if they go directly to the child forum they can access it and post. Even though they are not a member of the group.

I have the latest versions of WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress as at today.

I just ran 2 forum repairs:
– Recalculate private and hidden forums
– Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships

and now I have a another problem. I’ve actually been experiencing this problem on and off now for about 2 weeks and I’m starting to pull my hair out!

So now if I go to the forum list (at the category level) I can see that there are topics in the child forums. But when I click through to the child forum it tells me “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” This is for a group that the user is a member of. There are definitely topics in that forum.

If I change the user from a Participant to a Moderator they can see the topics.

If I change them back to a Participant and then toggle the forum from private to public to private they can see the topics again. I have done this toggling of forum visibility several times over the past week and it only lasts for a day or two, then I’m back at this problem.

Further testing:
– I’ve changed to TwentyFifteen theme
– deactivated all plugins except for BuddyPress and bbPress

I still can’t see topics that the user should be able to see. And they can access a private forum they aren’t a member of.

Where do I even begin to figure out what is going wrong with this site? Thank you!

PS I have logged this in trac: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2947

[Kineta]

This is just what I need for the project I’m working on. I have the same question about how to do this without hacking the core files. Any guidance for a wordpress/bbpress beginner?

[David Tierney]

Yes, if a functions file exists, you would copy and past it there, anywhere before the closing php tag if there is one at the end of the functions file. You should see bunches of code in your functions.php file so you do not want to break up any group of code, just like the group above needs to be together with itself as he wrote it.

IF you do not have a functions.php file in your child theme, you can create one. Read up here to learn more. https://codex.wordpress.org/Functions_File_Explained

[woklet]

Thanks! 🙂 I figured it’d been a while since I last posted so who knows? Maybe something would have popped up in your head 😀

I actually started it off in a totally clean wordpress this time around so I know that’s not the bottleneck. It really does just seem to take this long – I setup a new logging mechanism to watch the rate of insert statements and the highest I got it to with tweaking was ~6.7 p/s with 3500 posts and 0 seconds wait between.

It’s really quite odd because as far as I can see, it basically changes the posts to WP posts and populates the post metadata. It checks to see if this is a sticky etc and that’s about it. I’m wondering if a purely SQL based approach would work or if that’s too complex.

[David Tierney]

I am assessing installing this for a client and am new to bbpress, but have 9 years with WordPress.

What default user profile fields come with the basic single site installation of bbpress, and how customizable are they.

Specifically, my clients wants to have name, company and a question answered (i.e. why are you here). And no other fields other than what is desired.

And are their options to require fields if so desired?

And as a side question: Is there any recommendation or advice on whether to install this in a client’s existing website or duplicate their theme and install that theme with WordPress and bbpress on a subdomain and have the forum there?

Thanks so much,

David

Anyone know about this?

During regular research audits of our Sucuri Firewall, we discovered a Stored XSS vulnerability affecting the bbPress plugin for WordPress, currently installed on 300,000 live websites, one of them being the popular wordpress.org support forum.

Exploitation Level: Easy/Remote
DREAD Score: 6/10
Vulnerability: Stored XSS
Patched Version: bbPress 2.5.9
As a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, it could allow this user to hijack other user accounts, perform actions on their behalf (like administrators, moderators, etc.) to escalate its user’s privileges.
