Please help! (not that I’m desperate or anything :))

I’m new to WordPress and ppPress so my CSS knowledge is thin, so I may need a little point in even how to get to some things.

I’ve just made a child theme of it this evening ready for tinkering about though, which I’m guessing would be the first stage 🙂

Any help very much appreciated.

Thanks

I might be wrong but is that not handled by WordPress? When you delete a user you are asked what you want to to with their content. You can assign it to someone else or delete it etc.

Looking for some help changing the colors for the forums. I downloaded this as a widget for my WordPress site and the forum pages I have are coming up with white text over a white background….can anyone help me please?

[Robin W]

ok, I think I understand, but guessing form names is also possible.

Maybe this is what you need

Private groups

[biggersworld]

I’m not going to lie, this has been very frustrating and it shouldn’t be. All I want to do is allow people to interact in my forums and reply to topics anonymously! I’m not here to con people into giving me their emails (that wouldn’t lead to sales anyways). Bbpress makes a setting that is titled…”Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies” but it does nothing and still ask for email but says “not published” REALLY “that sounds real not scammy.”

My wordpress theme is completely up to date as well as my bbpress that I installed today. Im working with “publisher premium theme” that works directly with bbpress.

I would really like to know why this is an issue and why bbpress has a button (box check) that does nothing that it says it will?

Thank you

[Robin W]

nothing I know of out of the box.

On this forum, spam users tend to post 2 or 3 replies before spamming a topic, so I suspect that your approach might not work.

you could use

bbPress – Moderation Tools

to control initial posters, so approve them manually

the latest version changed some phrases and they have yet to be added into the translations.

you can use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>translations

Some users on my bbpress site are facing ” ERROR: Duplicate topic detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that.” when they are trying to create a new topic. Issue persistent even when different terms are used, and crosschecked that a topic with the same name doesn’t exist.

I am using the default Twenty Twenty theme.

[Chuckie]

I have not really sure how to solve your issue. Have you tried with a default WordPress theme?

still works

Hi,

Does anyone know something like this plugin that works?

[Chuckie]

The latest is 2.6.5:

bbPress

[franpeppe]

No, i mean 2.5.4, this one: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.5.4.zip

[Chuckie]

It is possible:

Register

I use Advanced noCaptcha & invisible Captcha (v2 & v3). See:

View post on imgur.com

I should also point out that I use “Theme My Login” plugin and use my own actual page, which has this shortcode on it:

[theme-my-login action="register"]

I have found this to be the best solution. The above and the “WP security Questions” when I can ask additional question and check their reply.

I have installed a simple recaptcha plugin which works well on the standard wordpresslogin pages. However, there is no recaptcha form appended to the bbpress login widget which I have in the forum sidebar seen here: ‘hatopia.de/community’. When you login using this form you get an error and get redirected to the standart wp login page in order to solve the receptcha.

Is it possible to modify the form in a way that it’s showing the receptacha form? Or do you have any other recommondation which would mitigate this bad user experience?

best regards, peter

since bbpress just uses WordPress registration, then there are a wide variety of registration plugins that will let you add things like recaptcha to prevent bot registration – just google WordPress registration plugins and have a look around eg (just an example)

Simple User Registration

If you allow users to register you will always have nuisance users to deal with – comes with then territory :-). I clear about 6 spam posts on here a day.

[p3t3rr]

Hi there,

there is quite alot of spam/bot user registration since I setup a bbpress forum on my site. I would like you to provide me with some useful tips on how to mitigate this or ideally stop it completely.

What are best practices dealing with spam in bbrpess/wordpress?

Thank you for your tips.

best regards, peter

This is the third time I’ve posted this as the first two have not shown up on the forums (I do apologise if they all show up at once now)

I need to edit css for the ‘Register here’ and ‘forgot password’ pages as they look terrible in responsive view when logged out, I can use CSS Hero for this..

However, I am unable to do this because being logged into wordpress (to enable me to edit css) means that I only see the ‘logged in’ view of the ‘register here’ and ‘forgot password’ pages. Whereas it’s actually the ‘logged out’ view I need to edit.

If you type https://findgyms.co.uk/forgot-password/ into:

http://responsiv.eu/

you should hopefully see what my dilemma is, as the unlogged in view should come up.

I hope this makes sense?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Tim

and use topic premissions

Let me first state I am doing this for security in light of all the wordpress sites being hacked. I want to change the #bbpress css ID’s to something like #forum.

I am not much of a coder so could I ask how I go about this ? or is there an easier way to go about this ?

[Milan Petrovic]

Some of my plugins really heavily on different caching methods to make sure that things are optimized and fast. And, many things in bbPress are not very optimized due to the nature of data storage used by WordPress, so whenever I can use the cache, I do it.

As for the statistics function, I am not sure exactly what it returns, I use my function which is quite different, but from what I remember, it returns an array with pairs including labels and values.

Yeah, ‘members’ sounds much better, I never liked the ‘users’ that is the norm in WordPress. I have created a plugin GD Members Directory that adds a new page listing all forum members with options to filter and order the list of members, and it would be good to have the change from users to members done in bbPress core too.

[Chuckie]

The only limitation is that of WordPress itself. You can’t have more than the fixed number of sub-menus. But atleast you can configure many things in a nice way. 🙂 Now my menu in the backend has some kind of order! 🙂
