First of all, a good database/site backup is always a starting point of course.
Then I suppose you followed the steps for the data cleanup here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/installing-bbpress/deleting-bbpress/ ?
Is your WordPress still working fine since the cleanup that ‘failed’ ?
Pascal.
Hello Pascal, i didn’t test locally so is live environment. BBpress 2.5.8 and wordpress 4.3.1
We are talking about 2079 discussion with 17.000 replies
Thanks
Hi Barbara,
Is this a life system ? Did it work correctly in your test environment ?
What version of bbPress and WordPress are you using ?
How many lines are you talking about ?
Pascal.
Ideally I’d like to see it appear right on the dashboard so when users log in they can see everything. If bbPress can’t do it if anyone knows of a way to do this I’d be happy to hear. thanks!
THis sounds like some custom development. You made need to hire a developer to try to create this for you. I am not sure if it is possible without basically tearing up the whole plugin, and it will be extremely hard to do.
bbPress should work in a private community though. I think there is some plugins that can just disallow access to view any pages unless you are member out there in the WordPress repository though that might be helpful. Doing it this way would be much easier to do too.
I think bbPress just uses the code from WordPress since the topic tag clouds code is close to WordPress’s version for regular posts.
You can see the tag cloud on hover displays the number of topics.

I tried searching what it was, but couldn’t really pinpoint the exact function.
You can use this php Code function instead if you are not using BuddyPress. Make sure to place it in your child themes functions.php file or in a functionality plugin.
What it does is redirect non-logged in users from see user profile pages to the default WordPress login page.
You can change the page by editing
site_url('wp-login.php');
to something like this if you have a yoursite.com/login page instead.
site_url('/login/');
function rkk_restrict_bbp_user_pages() {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
if ( bbp_is_single_user() ) {
$url = site_url('wp-login.php');
// Send them to the new URL
wp_redirect( $url );
exit;
}
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'rkk_restrict_bbp_user_pages');
To enqueue files in your child theme use get_stylesheet_directory_uri.
Put the custom login stylesheets into your child theme named style-login.css or whatever you want to call it, and in the function use get_stylesheet_directory_uri instead of template_directory.

Hi, I’ve been researching some tools for creating an intranet within WordPress and one page directed me to bbPress… but the features list doesn’t explain too much so I’d like to ask if anyone knows whether bbPress can be integrated within the backend of my WordPress site. Ideally I’d like to see it appear right on the dashboard so when users log in they can see everything. If bbPress can’t do it if anyone knows of a way to do this I’d be happy to hear. thanks!
No, I am not in an enterprise environment. I am at home and I am testing the bbpress on the live site. I log in as admin or another user as moderator or another user as participant. It is the same. As it is now close to midnight, I’ll continue testing tomorrow and report back. I wonder if WordPress needs flushing its cache or something – never did it before. Just a thought.
How can I prevent “nofollow” from being added to my internal links on bbPress posts? (I have the latest version of bbPress and WordPress)
The “nofollow” attribute is being added to my internal links on my website (DCJTech.info). However, this issue only occurs on bbPress posts, but not WordPress pages. Here is an example of the problem (bbPress post) – http://dcjtech.info/topic/general-unixoid-topics/
I have tried commenting out the below lines from ./includes/core/filters.php, but without success. I also cleared the cache (server and browser) and waited a minute before checking the page’s source code.
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow', 50 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow', 50 );
I used ‘grep -r -e “follow” ./plugins‘ to find all code that may be inserting “nofollow”, and I also searched my theme and mu-plugins. In addition, I searched my SQL database (via phpMyAdmin) for “follow”. I did not find any plugin, setting, etc. that could be causing this problem. There were no “nofollow” attributes in the posts either. I also searched my plugins for “bbp_rel_nofollow”.
I disabled “External Links” and commented out the previously mentioned bbPress code (and cleared the cache), but the “nofollow” attribute was still on my internal links.
I thoroughly checked the WordPress codex website, forums (like https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/turning-no-follow-links-to-do-follow/ ), etc., but I cannot find a solution or cause.
Hello total noob here. I am having an issue with implementing bbpress forums into WordPress. This is the first time (besides collage 20+ years ago) that I have messed around with websites. So please excuse my ignorance and incorrect terminology.
versions:
Wordpress 3.2.1
bbPress 2.5.8
Theme Tesseract 2
Turnkey WordPress Vmware virtual appliance ip 192.168.1.230
The problem I am having is:
I created a page that would hold my forums called MOUSE (named it mouse to stop confusing myself) so 192.168.1.230/mouse. On that edit page for mouse, I added a row and inside that that row I have 2 virtual editors widgets. Inside one widget, I have the “bbPress Form list”. In the other widget I have added this bit of code. “[bbp-forum-index]”
When I go to 192.168.1.230/mouse I see a page that has the Page Attributes, forums list, and formatted exactly how I want it. Its when I click a forum topic that everything changes. The URL changes to 192.168.1.230/forums/forums/theforumtopic and all formatting has been lost.
Obviously this is not the behavior I want, but I have no idea how to ask to fix it or what is not working. I know I am not able to easily edit the 192.168.1.230/forum. And by edit I mean not able to add rows and widgets or able to change any page attributes. What I would like is when i go to 192.168.1.230/mouse/theforumtopic that it carry’s forward any type of formatting I did for the page /mouse
No idea if that makes any since to you guys. If it does, can you offer any suggestions or something I could look up to fix the issue? I am not sure what the exact problem is so its really hard to search for an answer! lol 🙂
Thanks
@mica123
You don’t have any other cache plugins running on your wordpress, right ? Or on your providers platform ?
Pascal.
I Convert from vbulletin forums to WordPress,
I want ask if found Any method to makes passwords in wordpress same passwords in vbulletin for users transferred from vbulletin
@mica123
Make sure that a user is actually subscribed so that they receive the subscription emails. Some users get confused and think they get the emails magically sometimes without subscribing to a topic or forum.
Subscriptions
Also install this, because sometimes the emails just do not send as they caught up in spam folders. The functionality in the plugin will most likely get into the bbPress plugin in the future.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/
What username plugin?? Is it on the WordPress repository??
link me to where you got the plugin.
I tried deleting and re installing bbpress . I have also deactivated any other bbpress associated plugins . now i am getting this error
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /hermes/bosoraweb137/b2961/ipg.mydomaincom/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3622
It is only visible if i am logged in to the website on the backend . Views are not able to see this . but how to solve it
Sorry guys was probably tired or something, I should have led you guys to this explaining how to deactivate plugins when you cannot get into the admin panel.
https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F
And @bdsand I should have led you to this for the blank screen, but I am glad you fixed it.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#The_White_Screen_of_Death
As for this issue, bbPress shouldn’t behave like this during deactivation of bbPress.
See if some of the steps from here can help you.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble
I am guessing you guys are both getting the same error notice like this.
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page
- You may also want to see what is the url after you get the permission error, see if there is an extra query in the url like
?restricted or something.
- Check in a different browser to see if you get the same issue.
- Check in a different user with a different user role(make sure you create a test user before deactivating bbPress)
You guys can also test out your themes and plugins in a local test site/test server on your computer to see if you can duplicate the issue there.
Creating a Test Site
I was tracking down a disk full error on my server and I ran across the file bb-config.php
Here is a partial directory listing of my WordPress networked multisite install:
[root@community public_html]# ls -l
total 16162640
-rwxrwxr-x 1 apache apache 16550170624 Oct 7 17:03 bb-config.php
-rw-rw-r-- 1 apache apache 5686 Mar 2 2015 favicon.ico
drwxrwxr-x 5 apache apache 4096 Aug 6 2010 feed2js
drwxrwxr-x 2 apache apache 34 Jul 13 2012 files
-rwxrwxr-x 1 apache apache 9853 Nov 10 2011 glob_deny.rules
drwxrwxr-x 3 apache apache 46 May 6 10:18 http:
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 418 Oct 29 2013 index.php
The top bit of bb-config.php looks to be php code. The bottom bits, revealed with the tail command, are binary.
A config file, or functions file, can’t be 16GB big.
Question:
What is normally stored in this file?
There are a few sites which are using the bbPress system, I don’t want to lose actual student data, but my disk is filling up/full.
Thanks
Dan LaSota
Pascal:
Thanks for your note. I was about to attempt your recommended change when I saw that an update to the plug-in had been released. I installed the update and all now seems to be working correctly. The Oh Bother text can be modified and I now have the ability to remove it completely.
Thank you for your help and for providing such a useful plug-in. I think a lot of WordPress users will find this helpful.
Regards,
David
Thank you for the reply.
I accessed the cPanel and renamed the folder. That allowed me to log back into WordPress admin. However, reactivating the plugin and renaming the folder back to the original name interfered with other plugins and caused the site to disappear (blank screen only) and the dashboard to be significantly altered. We were able to revert back to a backup from earlier in the day, which put the site and dashboard back to normal. We will leave as-is until a developer is able to examine the bbpress plugin more closely.
Thank you again.
Thank you. I found Advanced noCaptcha reCaptcha here.
I could try this.
I am not sure if I could use WangGuard – I am really looking for a good antispam plugin which will work with bbpress. Akismet is usually recommended – but it is for personal use. I am not sure if it is free for non-profits? I read high praise for Antispam Bee but it’s unfortunately not working with bbpress it seems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
@yavanna, I got my problem sorted by removing the above mentioned code and using the https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/ plugin.
if you could post more details, maybe I can help you out.
@mica123 ,
I suppose you refer to bbpress on wordpress ?
You can subscribe to a forum and then you should get emails when a new topic is created.
You can subscribe to topics and then you should get an email when replies are given to the topic.
Hope this answers ?

Your students can register using the default WordPress register form here if you enabled registration in Settings > General.
yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=register
You cannot do this at the time. There is a ticket to hopefully add this feature to bulk edit topics into different forums in the future.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1838
This is where it would be in Topics > All Topics in the WordPress backend, just show/change the parent forum with a dropdown like when you edit a single topic right there.

There have been a few tickets in WordPress itself to make it easier without a workaround with javascript lately so hopefully that will help get this type of feature in soon.
