I’m trying to limit the permissions to assign topic tags to just ‘keymasters’ through the bbp_get_caps_for_role filter.

This is working, participants can’t see or edit the tag input field

if ( $role == ‘bbp_participant’ ) {
$caps[‘assign_topic_tags’] = false;
}

but the moderator level is ignored and not working:

if ( $role == ‘bbp_moderator’ ) {
$caps[‘assign_topic_tags’] = false;
}

I’m a newbie to wordpress development & php. Any insight or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

try my plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

which on the login tab lets you have a ‘register’menu item

Hi there Kelly,

I’m the developer of WP-SpamShield. I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re having and I’ll be happy to help.

That sounds like you have a some type of conflict that is more specific to your site setup or configuration. We have a lot of users on bbPress, and most are having no issues. (We do a lot of testing to ensure compatibility.) So, there shouldn’t be any generalized conflicts with bbPress.

We have put together some excellent troubleshooting options for our plugin users, including FAQs, a Troubleshooting Guide, Known Conflicts page, and Support Request page.

Please take a few minutes to work through the Troubleshooting Guide and FAQs, as these solve over 90% of issues users have.

One of the things that the Troubleshooting Guide and FAQs will ask you to do is turn on logging. When logging is enabled, anything the plugin blocks will be logged. If you feel that there is a conflict, and something is being blocked that shouldn’t be, you can test it out after you enable logging. If it doesn’t show up in the log, then that tells you that something other than the plugin is blocking it.

If the information provided doesn’t solve the issue for you, we’ll need a bit more info from you on the specifics, and we’ll need to email back and forth, so please head over to the WP-SpamShield Support Form, and take a moment to fill out a support request. That will allow us to help you diagnose this, find out what the real issue is, and get things working right for you. (If the issue does by chance turn out to be a bug in the plugin, we always try to fix those within 24 hours, and get a new version out with the fix.)

– Scott

Please note that the WP-SpamShield Support page is our main support venue, not the WordPress or bbPress forums here, so that will always be the best way to get a quick response and resolve any tech support issues.

@janeakshar if you don’t mind, could you contact me through email and send me login details so I could see what could be causing this issue on your site.

@bwarntzen

Okay definitely not just CSS.

So any new simple text post will not submit in the frontend of your site in a topic?? If a participant say had the the link limit you set in Settings > Disscussion their post would have the status pending which won’t show up regularly in the topic list of a forum.

It could be a possible tricky caching issue.

If you do not mind, you can contact me through email, and give me login details of a participant user so I could test out what is the issue.

I cant make a forum with my admin account. I did some Googling… Found old info and dont understand some of it…. I created another user with a Keymaster and still cant make forums.

I added bbPress/BuddyPress to my current theme.

It probably needs an update, I’m pretty sure its the same one I worked on but just cannot find right this second 😉

Grab me a link to it and post it here, also make sure your database you want to import from is on the same database server you are using for WordPress, doesn’t have to be the same database, just the same MySQL server.

[Stephen Edgar]

This seems to be after 24-36 hours of run time, so I am not sure if I am running across some sort of session expiration or what.

Yes, that is exactly what you are coming up against, on the technical side, its WordPress dropping the MySQL session, the work around is to every few,4,6,8,12 hours even is to open a new browser tab and refresh a WordPress admin page and that should stop those ------

Is it possible to re-run an import, picking off where it left off?

It’s supposed to, there’s some improvements here coming in bbPress 2.6, I also strongly suggest using 2.6-alpha available from https://bbpress.org/download, there will be no more import changes before 2.6 ships and there are vast improvements to importing in 2.6.

Give it a try and let me know it goes 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress 2.5.9 is out, and is a security release for all previous 2.x versions.

bbPress versions 2.5.8 and earlier are susceptible to a form of cross-site-scripting, due to the way users are linked to their profiles when they are mentioned in topics and replies.

Check the 2.5 milestone for a comprehensive changelog of fixes.

Take a moment to update your bbPress installations to 2.5.9. If you’re using WordPress’s built-in updater, it should only take a click or two.

These fixes have also been ported over to 2.6, which we continue to run here at bbPress.org and BuddyPress.org.

I’ve run in the same issue by importing into PHPBB.

You can read through my post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/import-phpbb-wrong-authors/

If you check, you may find that some authors are displayed as anonymous because the corresponding attribute in wp_posts.post_author has no match with your wp_users.id

I’ve found out that these authors have still the old user id of the forum you are importing from (VBulletin).

I can’t guarantee the following solution will work for you, but I recommend you to create a temporary table to map your old user ids to the new wordpress ones by joinin them on the user_email attribute.

Then just update all the orphan wp_posts.post_author with the right wordpress id.

I can’t guarantee this will fix all your dirty posts.

[giobby]

I leave this reply for those who faced the same issue and also for the developers who may find where the problem is.

From one side we have a wrong author getting associated to the wordpress posts (forum, topic and replies).

One thing that can be done to fix this after having run the import is to match the date and time of the post, the ip address of the author and potentially the last 8 characters of the content (will not work if it’s a smiley or bb code).

This would fix the issue even if I can’t guarantee it will work for all the dirty posts.

The second thing, even more worrying, is the fact that certain authors are associated to the topics/replies with their old PHPBB user_id.
It’s easy to spot them because those dirty posts won’t join with the wp_user table and therefore they are reported as anonymous users in the website.

One way to fix that after the import is to update all those old PHPBB ids by replacing them with the corresponding wordpress users ids (just join on email address).

Hi,

I just installed on a test domain WordPress, bbPress and WPML. All are updated to the latest versions. I don’t use any other plugins and the theme is also the default one, Twenty Sixteen.

I setup 2 languages: german as default and english. So the URLs are like this.

website.com
website.com/en

I posted some topics in bbPress in both languages and I can see them per language, which is what I want. On the german version I see only the german posts and on the english version I see only the english post.

Of course, a problem may be with the bbPress slugs settings. I cannot translate them but I can live with them.

What I noticed is that when I go to profile and try to see the “Topics Started”, “Favorites” and “Subscriptions”, I see only a message that I don’t have any of those, although on the main Profile page shows that I have started 11 topics.

That might be also a problem because it counts the topics from both languages. But I can live with that also, for the moment.

I switched the languages and I made english default. After doing this, everything worked fine in english but not anymore in german, because german became the second language.

Basically, I can see the “Topics Started”, “Favorites” and “Subscriptions” only for the default language.

Only “Replies Created” show up for both languages.

I also attached some screenshots.

I also changed the theme from Twenty Sixteen to Twenty Fifteen and also Twenty Fourteen. Same problem.

I setup another test website as WP Multisite, without WPML and everything works properly. I had to install another plugin to connect both languages. But I would like to use WPML and a single website, if this is possible.

I hope there is a fix for this. bbPress is the most used forum and WPML should be able to handle it.

Thank you very much for your time.

Best Regards,
Alin

There is no special optionYou would have to edit the bbPress templates, and I guess replace the reply form with the comment form.

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/comments_template/

And I guess you might need to do more work like remove any other mentions of replies in bbPress entirely like in topic/forum stats, notices/descriptions, user profile data, activate show lead topic, find a plugin to allow mods to move comments to other topics. Then you might need to find different plugins that you need if you want quoting, attachments, bbcode, and more for custom features.

Then I guess if you want to ever leave bbPress with your custom comments integration, you will need to create a custom import for whatever you are importing to.

Still do not recommend it, but if you really really want I suggest hiring a developer if you do not have the knowledge or time to do all of this by yourself.

I do not recommend trying to use WordPress comments with bbPress, just use the default replies.

@maketheest

When you enable the tinymce editor in bbPress, for now you have to edit that snippet you posted and edit it for every buttons html tags that you will end up using. Whenever you may be quoting another user using a different plugin you may need to use the paste as a text php code snippet in the guide.

https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/

Read this WordPress guide about the character entities.

The plugin description on WordPress.org states it should show up on the premium version of the plugin, contact the plugin author about this.

I want to put a menu entries of the forums in a tab of the menu. While a user is loged in, all looks fine, but when a visitor enter without login, the main menu is broken: all entries are shown in the complete menu. See the images for better understand.

Hi – I just installed BBPress and I can’t seem to have the admin reply to any posts. I created an account under the name Hutad and tried to reply as the Admin and can’t see the response live on the site. It’s in my backend but not live. I am using a custom theme.
Here is the link to the topic/website

Hi.

I am looking for a wordpress theme to offer freelander services. I would like to have a system by which users can ask for a quote to all or some of freelanders.

I think that if i can create a forum with some categories depending of freelander works, where freelanders would be subscribed, users can go to desired category/thread and there ask for a budget/quote of a work they need to do.

Users can subscribe to this category/thread clincking in “Notify me of follow-up replies via email form” and, in this way, they can wait for freelanders answer with a budget.

I think that all freelander answers should be private, so only the user that asked for a budget can know the answers.
