This plugin is really handy for logging in as different users/user levels:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching

[Robkk]

Use is_user_logged_in()

I made changes and changed my email to what should be over at Gravatar and hit submit and get a 404 error and end up seeing the BBpress book for sale.
I don’t know if it took it or not…. It may not be allowing changes as far as I can tell

@folgerj

It probably didn’t work, and you can could always add additional email addresses to Gravatar. So if you want a specific Gravatar for wordpress/bbpress.org add the email you used on those sites. You can always remove it then change the email on the sites later.

..Curious to know what the bug is/was..could happen to any of our sites too I suppose.

@uncle-jimmy

I think I made an educated guess last week to what commit caused the issue, and Stephen pinpointed the issue. Also the reason the issue is on this site is because this site is running the latest alpha, so this site see any issues first before releasing the next update.

do what I said here

The activate component I think you are talking about is part of BuddyPress.

I can’t find any documentation that details if there needs to be a shortcode on that page but mine is blank…This is the downside so far. In the Docs there should be a description of each of the required pages and what they do as well as what I need to do with them

When BuddyPress is installed you will have a register page usually at yoursite.com/register/, and also an activate page so after you register you are required to activate your account usually here yoursite.com/activate/.

All documentation for the activate page would be on BuddyPress, in their codex.

Register and Activation Pages

There might be more documentation on the activate page, but I can’t find them if you want more information about it contact BuddyPress in their forums.

https://buddypress.org/support/

bbPress does allow shortcodes for registration, lost-password, and also for login, but none for users to activate their account. bbPress relies on how WordPress sets up registered users.

I don’t know why they really need to be from Australia but you could hire someone from http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or whatever freelance site you can find.

When I activate the latest bbPress (2.5.8) or SimpleRestrict (1.0.2) plugin then try to login to my site, the WordPress dashboard does not open. Instead, I simply get the home page of the site.

To deactivate these plugins, I have to go to my site files, rename the “plugins” folder, sign in to the site (the Dashboard appears) then reactivate my plugins other than bbPress and SimpleRestrict. Signing out, then signing in shows me the Dashboard. I have repeated this procedure about 3 times with the same result. The site is http://ruralpolicy.ca.

If I activate bbPress (in order to use the Forums option), the site seems to work okay, but I can’t log in to the Dashboard.

I recently redefined the site address URL and it seemed to make the necessary changes to the shortlinks okay. I can’t be sure, but this bbPress-Dashboard problem appeared around the time I made this change.

I’m using the Twenty-ten theme with a child.

Any suggestions what the problem might be?

Most of the Marketing Bots are advance enough to break through any type of Captcha Code. The real issue is not pondering over your captcha code, but you need to make your login/registration process secure with additional questions such as

What is the 3rd character in my Domain after www. ?

As far as math captcha is concerned, it can be easily cracked by Marketing Bots. You need to create your own custom question and this will surely help to get rid of automated registrations.

I was handling wordpress blog for 1 client and every day I used to get around 10-50 comments. Ultimately I had to block the commenting feature. Spamming is really bad form of marketing.

Robin:
I am striking out on http://jobs.wordpress.net/. The majority of the people who have responded to my post send me massively long resumes and covers letters explaining how they are the “greatest developers” and can do anything and then some. Very few have addressed my needs which is in fact that I want to hire someone with lots of BBPress experience to install BBPress and then import the data from our Web Wiz forum and then configure BBPress to look and act as we want.
Would you allow me to post something in your site to try and find someone who is actually a BBPress guru?

the bbpress search code posted above by robkk works fine for me with wordpress 4.2.2 + bbpress 2.5.8, shows expected bbpress topics and replies in wp search results for admins, non admin members, and non logged in users

also respects posts hidden by s2member bbpress level restrictions

@folgerj

this site uses gravatar, so go to gravatar.com and use the same email you used for this site/wordpress.org, and change it there.

For anybody that wants to view their profile and have been redirected to this topic. There is a bug right now that is being looked over. To edit your profile go to this exact url, with username being your exact username.

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/username/

To go to certain profile links add these additional slugs for each. So for example go to https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/username/subscriptions to view your subscriptions.

Topics Started > topics/
Replies Created > replies/
Favorites > favorites/
Subscriptions > subscriptions/
Edit Profile > edit/ (You can look at any information but not save)

[Robkk]

This feature is not yet implemented into bbPress yet. WHen it is, in the next big release or so, I should have a guide explaining how to do it.

Thanks Sam, I’ll use Keith’s stop spammers as I’ve used that before. I know he had cancer so I sent some money his way and I’m glad he’s still around.

I know that spam is a wordpress thing more than a BBpress thing but when we show up maybe these tips could be put in a general forum that is closed and it can help folks.

It would be nice since I had four people or one person with four emails login in this morning and they created groups with no links about delayed ticket arrival garbage (10 – 15 paragraphs) so I went in and marked their accounts as spam and blocked them and then deleted the groups they created.

Things like this could be added as a lessons learned.

Thanks all…

I do not know if it is a css problems, or what happens when I activate bbPress this is comming up I’m grateful for help in this problem, here is what happening.

hallo,

i get dots in my bbpress theme
i know its my wordpress theme i try this

but it not working!

This would require some custom development for the layout. So you may need to hire a developer/designer to do that type of layout.

But I think how slickdeals has it, is basically creating blog posts and also a topic for each blog post for users to discuss.

This plugin may help with creating a topic for every blog post you create.

Try this plugin and see if it fixes your issue

https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

[Stephen Edgar]

Stagger Lee,

The plugins you mention, Jetpack, that’s maintained by Automattic, Advanced TinyMCE is just a standard WordPress plugin that happens to be maintained by a core developer as his own project aside from core, Pods is a 3rd party plugin also not associated with WordPress, your last example, Shortcake is a featured plugin that is being proposed to be merged into core, this plugin has been bought to the core team to be considered for merging into core, the WordPress core team has not gone out and found plugins to maintain or merged.

There’s details of WordPress’ featured plugins available:

Feature Plugin Chat on July 14

Feature Plugins Tracking

We are happy to do the same with bbPress, if a plugin developer comes to us with a plugin that they would like to see merged in bbPress we are more than happy to look into doing just that, the same way WordPress does. 🙂

Here is a list in my opinion should have under Author names at least one nam of bbPress core developers. Not of things on list has anything to do with me personally, just using other popular forum scripts as reference.

Sorry, I disagree with this, if a plugin author or the community has a problem with a plugin we’ll happily help out where we can when asked. As to maintaining that list of plugins, speaking for myself, I have other projects that I am interested in and being asked to maintain a bunch of other plugins is not something I am interested in doing. 🙂

As the bbPress slogan goes “Forums made the WordPress way”, we try and do everything the same way WordPress does, we maintain the core software and make it as open as possible for developers to extend with plugins and themes, but because we are not as big as WordPress, we don’t have the same amount of developers developing for bbPress.

[Stephen Edgar]

Also to note, until bbPress 2.5 pt_BR is 100% translated the only translations delivered via WordPress Update will be bbPress 2.4, language packs are only built once they are complete at 100%

This link shows the bbPress language packs available:
https://api.wordpress.org/translations/plugins/1.0/?slug=bbpress&version=2.5

These need to be translated to 100% to get these via WordPress Update
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default

If you can help translate those strings then you’ll get bbPress 2.5 translations, you can also get in contact with your locale team via https://br.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

A year or two ago we had lots of translation issues with bbPress, to fix this I got en_AU (English Australian) of the ground and translated all the things, WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress and help out on the #polyglots team https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

The string I translated to test was the Pending string replaced with stickfinger for en_AU:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/en-au/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=196793&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=9251229

I then downloaded the .po and .mo files (at the bottom of that screen you can export these) and replaced my en_AU bbpress-en_AU.mo/bbpress-en_AU.po files in /wp-content/languages/plugins

What happens if you export the .po/.mo files from /bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default?

Also make sure your files are named bbpress-pt_BR.mo and bbpress-pt_BR.po

[Stagger Lee]

Thanks Rob.

I have seen this list but it is not the same as Feature plugins are for WordPress core. Those plugins in WP are maintained and developed by same WP core guys. (Jetpack, Advanced TinyMce, Pods, Shortcake, etc….etc…)

In an way you behind bbPress are one of them. But I im asking to twist a logic a bit. Be a “WordPress”, not “feature plugin”.

Take some of those plugis from your list and give them to bbPress core developers. Or ask original developers to sign some of you on list of plugin Authors. For those developers who dont have much free time you have some plugins literally made from one-two PHP files.

People should never be afraid to update bbPress because of few files in one plugin.
I am never afraid Pods, Jetpack will stop working with new WordPress version. Never.

My point is, for everything in WordPress self there is a replacement. Something doesnt work, go ahead and install another similar plugin and style it. If it doesnt work for bbPress, well, cannot explain what it means.

[stickFinger]

Hi Stephen

Thanks for your input here.:-)

I guess i did not understand you very well 🙁
You telling that in the en_US.po file it works, am i correct?

I´ve just download a fresh copy of the po file at: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/pt-br/default

and that is the header:

 Translation of Development in Portuguese (Brazil)
# This file is distributed under the same license as the Development package.

"X-Generator: GlotPress/1.0-alpha-1000\n"

there is no Kewyword list
I´ve read something regarding this issue also on buddypress foruns. It seems that the strings after the “_x(….” caracter is the problem on some languages.

[David13_13]

Hello again.

I just installed a new website and the latest version of WordPress and BBpress and the last code that worked well in that website is no working here. The email notification works well, but still is checked the log field…

Any suggestion please?

I guess that the code of BBpress has changed in recent versions…

Thanks in advance

[Robkk]

Thanks for debugging and creating this ticket, sorry for not responding earlier though.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2829

I will contact the devs about this to see what they think.
