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

You don’t have any other cache plugins running on your wordpress, right ? Or on your providers platform ?

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.

What username plugin?? Is it on the WordPress repository??

link me to where you got the plugin.

[vyasmonarchu]

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

[Robkk]

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-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

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

[bdsand]

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.

[mica123]

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.

[nikhilnaik]

@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.

[Pascal Casier]

@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

[Robkk]

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.

[Robkk]

You do not need to create a page at all just create a custom link in the menus section to /forums on your site.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen#Custom_Links

[Robkk]

What button?? What welcome message, the howdy, user message??

I think you need to run the repair tools to recalculate the topic count. The repair tools are in Tools > Forums in the WordPress backend.

[Robkk]

@jrunfitpro

Sorry for the late reply.

Since you said it is not a plugin issue causing it and you have done other troubleshooting to see if a code snippet in a theme could be causing it, create a test user, just a participant/subscriber user, then you can deactivate bbPress so I can see the issue you are getting. Contact me through email so that you do not need to post login details on the forum.

Contact

@bdsand

If you have already done some troubleshooting and have not found an issue, you can let me test to see what could be causing the issue too.

[Robkk]

Could be an issue with theme compatibility in bbPress. To get around that make a bbpress.php file in your theme.

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

You can see what WordPress conditionals affect what bbPress pages by using the test that is explain in this ticket from the user. Or you can check the theme compat file in bbPress.

Recently, the “nofollow” attribute has been added to my internal links on my website (DCJTech.info). Initially, I suspected it was a bug in the “External Links” plugin because I updated that plugin, and that was the only change on my server. I first shared this issue with the developers of the plugin ( https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nofollow-bug ), but I was told it was bbPress that is adding the “nofollow” attribute.

Here is an example of the problem – http://dcjtech.info/topic/general-unixoid-topics/

How can I prevent bbPress from performing any action on any of my links?

[Robkk]

Did you place the forum index shortcode into a static WordPress page?? Does clearing cache fix the issue??

Troubleshooting

[gperez-tl]

Hi. I’m working with bbpress in a child theme, and I’m having a couple of strange issues in a remote environment that I think I can’t reproduce locally.

One is related to Profile pages. If I log as a certain user and then visit other user profile (in my case, the administrator profile), the displayed page may not be the correct one. Let me explain:

I worked with admin user a lot, but sometimes I log with a subscriber role in order to develop different contents, meaning the admin can see things than subscribers cannot. Well, being a subscriber suddenly I can see button that I shouldn’t see when visiting the admin page. And more: the “welcome username” message is wrong, showing the admin name instead of the subscriber.

Conclusion: some pages are some-way cached. Editing them via FTP and saving again the files solves the issue.

Second issue: the topic count (bbp_forum_topic_count method) sometimes displays the wrong number of topics if I previously deleted some. In my case, I deleted 5 topics. But the counter was wrong. So I went to Topics->Trash, removed just one permanently an now to count works just fine.

So, for this second issue I’d like to know if there’s a bbpress cache for counting or something.

Notice my remote environment doesn’t have any cache enabled. And I don’t have any wordpress cache plugin installed. And also as I’m developing I have rules in .htaccess to avoid cache as much as I can. But anyway something is going on and I can’t trust my installation until I discover what it is.

Thanks in advance.
