@sey88

You just talking about the default WordPress registration process right?? If you have BuddyPress installed also, this has an activate link process too. I am just making sure since BuddyPress is one of the most used plugins in conjunction with bbPress.

As @casiepa said it is possible to use a frontend form plugin to just get around this whole process activation process.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi sey88,

This seems wordpress related and not bbpress related.
On my site I have the ‘Theme my login’ plugin installed where in the ‘Moderation’ part I have chosen not to send the email verification.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi kamenlee,

First of all, you can refer to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-users-auto-subscribe-to-one-forum/ if you know how to code and try from there to automate.

Otherwise you can start with this plugin and perform it manually if somebody registers to your site (if your userbase is not that big) : https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/ . The ‘automation’ and ‘bulk options’ are not yet there but should hopefully come in some weeks.

Pascal.

Hi aycreative,
As Robkk asked, please explain a bit better what you want to obtain.

A lot is happening in wordpress and bbpress, so post IDs are growing all the time. Every post, page, revision, email sent, topic, reply, … takes the next number. This means that adding 2 topics with 5 minutes in between could result is an increase of post ID of tens or hundreds because of things happening in wordpress.

Pascal.

Hello, I need your help desperately! It’s one month now that i try to import my old forum into bbpress. Before, it was on vbulletin and i had no success. So i migrated vbulletin on a fresh phpbb installation and from there i’ve tryied again to migrate on bbpress. But this time is even worse!
I have the following problems:
forum repair recalculate the position of each reply gives me a blank page
on front page replies are not present, there’s just the first topic
on backend, if i try to access to replies, i have internal server error (when i’ve imported vbulletin i had the same 2 problems but at least i could access replies from backend)
I’m almost giving up as i lost so much time on it and i’m still stucked with the same problems.
Please help me!
Wordpress 4.3.1
BBPRESS 2.5.8
Theme: Hueman (issues are the same also on theme twenty twelve ecc)

Thanks
Barbara

I just split your reply into a topic so that you can have your own topic about this.

Please do not bump topics, especially topics that are about 8 years old.

If you are using the latest bbPress plugin.

To get the user’s username use

<?php 
  global $current_user;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  echo $current_user->user_login;
?>

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

You can also just use the WordPress toolbar.

[Robkk]

Where do I add those lines of code?

It is CSS put it in your child themes style.css file, a custom css plugin, or anywhere you can put custom css.

I assume you want me to edit one of the PHP files

No, never edit the plugin core files, unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing. Since you are a novice, just do not do it.

I don’t know what “multisite” is.

Since you do not know what it is, I am going to assume you do not have it. You do not need it to solve this issue so no need to install any plugins, just curious if you have it. I see it is probably that you have a test enviroment of WordPress because you are planning on migrating to a WordPress/bbPress install from phpBB.

Yes, your deleteme user does appear in the Users list.

Does it have the Participant forum role too?

Alright, so I assume you’re talking about Peter’s Login Redirect plugin, and I assume I’ll need to edit the settings under Settings -> Login/logout redirects, correct?

You seem to be getting that together. Not sure why you are redirecting to the forums especially a specific forum, but yeah you got it.

I created a test Subscriber user, which in fact is redirected upon logging in, but isn’t logged in (of course that code you recommended still needs added in).

The code I gave you helped remove the bullet list displaying in your forums.

Again thank you for trying to help Robkk, but I would definitely like it if you could be a bit more descriptive in what I need to do to fix this login problem

We still have to troubleshoot what is causing the user to not seem to be have access to the forums.

Try some of these troubleshooting steps listed in this guide to see if it could be theme/custom theme related like if you copied the bbPress customizable templates into your child theme and edited them and messed something up on accident, check to see if a plugin could be causing an issue, you can check to see if caching could be an issue by flushing cache from your site, if you edited the bbPress and ever do not remember what you edited you can reinstall a fresh version of the plugin to see if it fixes the issue also.

Troubleshooting

Do not just go deleting cache files from WordPress or code in bbPress.

@casiepa, @robkk

Just to let you know that my webhost seems to have acknowledged that there is a problem and is going to do something in WordPress itself. Hopefully this will be sorted.

Where are the cache files located? And I assume you mean bbPress cache files? Or do you mean WordPress cache files as a whole?

[names_are_useless]

Thank you for trying to help Robkk.

Where do I add those lines of code? I assume you want me to edit one of the PHP files (click “Edit” for bbPress plugin). I just tried adding it to “bbpress/bbpress.php” (since its the first php file that comes up) at the end of the file. I received a “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘-‘, expecting ‘(‘ in /var/www/vhosts/laysofalthas.com/epochgames/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 933”. There’s a bunch of other php files, and I have no idea where I’m supposed to put that code snippet (novice here), so I’m just going to delete that code and wait for further instructions.

I don’t know what “multisite” is. Looking through the plugin list, I see several (Multisite Toolbar Additions, Multisite Global Search, etc). Would you recommend I add one of them? Can you give me the specific name of one?

Alright, so how can I fix it so “yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php” leads to “yoursite.com/wp-login.php” instead?

Yes, your deleteme user does appear in the Users list.

Alright, so I assume you’re talking about Peter’s Login Redirect plugin, and I assume I’ll need to edit the settings under Settings -> Login/logout redirects, correct? I have now set the “administrator” role to go to the URL “yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/” and it works perfectly, so thank you. I have also set it so Subscribers are redirected to “http://epochgames.co.uk/forums/forum/test/&#8221; when they login. I created a test Subscriber user, which in fact is redirected upon logging in, but isn’t logged in (of course that code you recommended still needs added in). Can’t say I’m overjoyed that I have to change the URL to the forums every time I want to login as an administrator account, but at least I can get to the Dashboard now without having to memorize the URL.

Again thank you for trying to help Robkk, but I would definitely like it if you could be a bit more descriptive in what I need to do to fix this login problem. I am very much a novice still with WordPress.

[Robkk]

It is not really moderated on the bbPress site plugins page, it just pulls plugins with the bbPress tag from the WordPress repository.

Yes, some developers do this and many other things to possibly increase sales in their premium plugins.

I do not really like some of the tactics they do to try to gain an increase in sales in their premium plugins either.

This should really go to the make plugins team I think for a suggestion of stricter tagging and plugin submission.

For the bbPress plugins page I think we will think about it, I might contact the devs tomorrow about it to see if they have any opinions on fully moderating plugins in the list. It would defiantely be time consuming moderating plugins on bbpress.org unless the tagging process was sticter.

[Robkk]

This fixes the list issue.

#bbpress-forums li {
    list-style: none !important;
}

I created a user called “deleteme” and I see the issue you are talking about.

Do you have multisite enabled or at least a subsite for testing.

the wp-login.php page leads to yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php instead of just yoursite.com/wp-login.php.

Check it out right now to see if I am even a user to just the yoursite.com site. If I am see that I am even have a forum role like participant.

The redirect to the home page is because of some piece of code in bbPress for the frontend login forms. You can easily fix this by setting it where Admins can go the Admin and other users redirect to the home page using the plugin you have already installed.

[Jake Hall]

Does it ever get maintained or at the very least, moderated?

it seems plenty of Plugin developers are almost “gaming the system”, it is already hard enough to attract new people to your plugin before you have developers committing readme changes into the recent stable tag, e.g adding a period/removing a period from the end of a sentence. (which, to those unaware, causes their plugin to shoot to the top of the bbPress plugins list almost as if it has just received an update… wherein fact it hasn’t.)

Not to mention the amount of plugins that are in no way related to bbPress, yet still use the bbPress tag?

It doesn’t seem like the plugin guidelines are enforced much either, since every single plugin seems to have a boatload (30+) tags attached some of which aren’t even relevant.

(And to name and shame, here’s one: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Flogin-page-styler&old=1263429&new_path=%2Flogin-page-styler&new=1263429&sfp_email=&sfph_mail= – most recent change to the stable tag was to remove a period from the readme… really? Note, this plugin has a free and premium version… I wonder why it is being bumped constantly…)

It is just frustrating to see this going on in all honesty. The WordPress Plugins page doesn’t suffer from this as it doesn’t display the plugins in a list form.

[Robkk]

does %%parent_title%% show the forum title??

http://kb.yoast.com/article/146-yoast-wordpress-seo-titles-metas-template-variables

[Robkk]

I think there is an issue with the bbp_make_clickable() function that is causing this especially the part that leads to the function _make_url_clickable_cb() in WordPress.

bbp_make_clickable() is in

\bbpress\includes\common\formatting.php

bbp_make_clickable

_make_url_clickable_cb() is in

\wp-includes\formatting.php

_make_url_clickable_cb()

Will make a trac ticket once I gather the information to write down.

If I remember correctly I think this allows you sort replies in a topic on a per forum basis.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-sort-topic-replies/

[Robkk]

What does the plugin do?
You can send me the plugin in a zip to my email so I can see what the actual code does, and see if there is a possible fix for it too.

You can send the plugin to the email listed here.

Hello bbPress Users,

Recently I’ve been wanting to create a bbPress forum on my WordPress website. I was able to successfully install the plugin through WordPress, create a new forum, set Settings, etc …

However, I simply cannot login to the new forum I’ve created (The forum looks awful right now, but I’ll worry about that until AFTER its functional): http://epochgames.co.uk/forums/forum/test/

Try yourself to register (which I’ve had no problem with: I receive the registration email, and have seen my account appear in WordPress Dashboard settings related to Users), but then try logging in … when I try logging in, I’m taken back to the same page, with the same login box, and unable to post. And yes, there is a thread there, but I was only able to post it after checking “Allowing guests to post” in Settings, which I’ve since disabled.

I even downloaded Peter’s Login Redirect plugin, and tested my forum account to redirect to a different page on the domain after login … and it does redirect, but I’m still not logged in! Really weird, right?

Also I’ve noticed that when trying to login to WordPress via the wp-login.php page redirects me to the main page, instead of the Dashboard. Thankfully, I am logged into it and can access the Dashboard, just need to use the Dashboard URL. When I disable the bbPress plugin, the WordPress login properly redirects to the DashBoard.

Any ideas what could be wrong? I am definitely a WordPress Newbie, so it could be something simple, but I’ve not found a topic in this problem with this same problem, I’ve skimmed through the FAQ and found nothing about this … any help would be great.

[Pascal Casier]

Hola Sole29,

I must admit I don’t know Private Content, but from what I can read on their website, they have a ‘wordpress user system sync’. This should sync the users to wordpress.
Once they are wordpress users, you can grant them rights for bbPress.
That would be my way to go…

I would propose to check with Private Content, because I fear it has to come from that side.

Pascal.

Site: http://www.levelupsolutionscenter.com
Theme: ZippyCourses by Social Trigger
Wordpress: Latest release
bbforums: 2.5.8 (Latest)

I have installed the plugin for bbforums. No issues setting it up. I have created a post that I want to remain at the top of the forum. It is titled, Getting Started. I made it ‘sticky’ believing that this would allow it to be there at the top regardless of what others put in the forum.

When I go in to test as a user who has purchased a course, the user can get to the forum but cannot see the sticky post content. Just the listing in the forum. I set access to participant and open, with automatic membership.

I read your documentation and created a forum registration page and put in your shortcode.

Do users need to register with the forum first to see the content of a post?
If they do and I have the registration page, I can put it in the menu. Is that what I need to do to get registration to people? Is there anything special I need to know to make registration go through and access be granted? Special in setting up the access page?

Question really is: how does a user of the educational material get to see the forum questions/posts?

Thank you!

Hi bbPress!
I have a site with two registration types.
One for instructors user ( by wordpress registration ) the other for Student users (Private content registration – plugin).

I would like a forum where only registered user can partecipate.

There is a problema: The Private Content plugin has a registration that is completely different to the WP login system.

When I login with studente user I can’t reply or create forums.

The students users haven’t capabilities…

what do you recommend ?

Hello there.

I want to use conditionnal tags in order to display some details. The main page (frontpage) of the forum uses a WordPress page but doesn’t keep the content nor the details (SEO details such as meta description).

I want to add some details (content and meta values). I want to make some conditionnal tags and I need to know how I can do.

I checked this forum and Google to know if I can use, with an if, is_bbpress or is_frontpage, but no answers solved my problem.

How can I force anything to be displayed where I want in the main page of the forum? Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Thibaut.

[guillaumemolter]

An even better solution is to use WordPress built-in return false shortcut, this way you don’t have to create a empty function each time.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', '__return_false' );

I’ve just heard from the webhost – there is no caching on the server.
They asked if I have any caching plugins in WordPress which I don’t have.
So I am really stuck.
