Hi @philippowell, user signups are following WordPress user subscriptions.
1) You could remove ‘Anyone can register’ in /wp-admin/options-general.php, but that is probably not what you want to do
2) Check for WordPress plugins that will add protection to people signing up (like captcha)

Hi,
Is there a way for bbPress notifications that appear in BuddyPress (eg: “You have a new reply on the topic you started”) to automatically be dismissed when clicked, like other notifications do?

Currently they can only be dismissed by manually marking them as read on the user profile page.

Thank you,
Sam

Hello,
I am seeking help importing my Mingle forums…I can’t seem to find the answers on the bbpress support boards.

Here are the specifics of my setup:
Wordpress 5.3.2
Pandora Theme 1.3.2
bbpress 2.6.3
naranonchat.com

Originally, I struggled to figure out what information needed to be put into the import fields as I am definitely not well versed in the world of website building. I was able to find my wp-configure.php to get the information. My table prefix was not wp_ it was smi_ which took me FOREVER to figure out.

When I finally got the import monitor to run, it got stuck at step 6 multiple times and despite clicking the option to erase previous attempts, it just created multiple duplicate forums. So, I did the hard reset that was suggested on one of the message boards by Stephen Edgar. When I started over, only one version of the forums was created. I was super excited!

Now, when it moves on to step 7 it first tells me “Converting topics (0 through 50 of 50) 100%,” then it just continuously runs stating over and over “Converting topics (50 through 50 of 50) 100%.” This creates copy after copy after copy of the same exact posts and never stops. I have over 500+ topics, not 50. How can I stop step 7 from multiple duplications of the same 50 posts, get all 500+ topics that should come over and move on to step 8?

Please help, I am super frustrated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

We’ve got an issue after upgrading bbPress to 2.6.x:

The “latest reply” column on the forum index page isn’t showing the real latest reply. Instead, we see the latest reply as it was just before the upgrade to 2.6.x.
None of the replies after the update are displayed.
This happens only at the forum index, not on the sub forum index pages; the sub forum index page shows the right latest reply.

The options to repair/recalculate didn’t correct the information in the “latest reply” column.

We’ve seen this on 2.6.1 and 2.6.3.
We did a downgrade to 2.5.14 twice, once after 2.6.1 and once after 2.6.3, we did every time the repair/recalculate, and we’ve got the column working good again with the right and expected “latest reply”.

URL: http://www.lotgenotenseksueelgeweld.nl
Note: It’s in Dutch localized.

bbPress version now: 2.5.14
We have the forum index built by using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] .
For the sub forums, we use the corresponding shortcode with the ID of the sub forum.
WordPress version 5.3.2.
PHP version 7.3.12.

Anyone else having this situation? How did you get it solved?
Or could this be a bug in the bbPress?

Hi

The user profile pages of my bbPress forums are getting indexed in google.

Example pages
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/topics
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/engagement
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/replies

So I want to add <META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” /> to all the above pages

I think I need to insert the META into wordpress > wp-content > plugins > bbpress > templates > default > bbpress > user-profile.php

But I don’t want to edit the plugin file and lose the change during plugin update.

Is there a PHP code I can use to make the insertion to the user-profile.php?

Thanks in advance for the help

untested but try

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'rew_reply_signature', 1, 2 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'rew_topic_signature', 1, 2 );

function rew_topic_signature ($content = '', $topic_id = 0) {
	$topic_id  = bbp_get_topic_id       ( $topic_id );
	$user_id   = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );
	$separator = '<hr />' ;
	$before = '<div class="bbp-topic-signature">' ;
	$after = '</div>' ;
	if ($user_id == 3) $signature =  'signature for user 3' ;
	if ($user_id == 57) $signature 'signature for user 57' ;
	if ( !empty( $signature ) )
		$content = $content . $separator . $before . $signature . $after;
	return apply_filters( 'rew_topic_signature ', $content, $topic_id) ;
}

function rew_reply_signature ($content = '', $reply_id = 0) {
	$reply_id  = bbp_get_reply_id       ( $reply_id );
	$user_id   = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
	$separator = '<hr />' ;
	$before = '<div class="bbp-reply-signature">' ;
	$after = '</div>' ;
	if ($user_id == 3) $signature =  'signature for user 3' ;
	if ($user_id == 57) $signature 'signature for user 57' ;
	if ( !empty( $signature ) )
		$content = $content . $separator . $before . $signature . $after;
	return apply_filters( 'rew_reply_signature ', $content, $reply_id) ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Where I have had problems with WordPress sending emails (mainly contact form 7), I have switched to SMTP using

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms

and then setting ‘other smtp’ using your mail provider’s details.

This seems much more robust to sending emails, and preventing mail servers seeing this as spam

Working with WordPress Live support, we have been unable to solve the problem of subscribers to my forum receiving notifications when a new topic is posted (We haven’t yet moved on to testing for those who subscribe to a topic getting notification of any new posts under that topic).
WordPress Live received guidance from you that we should try a different theme (Twenty Twelve) and also try disabling all plugins except for bbPress and trying that. That did not work either.
So, we’re coming back to you for further guidance. Can you provide? Will I receive notification by email when there is a response to this request or do I need to keep checking the forum. My email is eric.brown@cbia.com.
Also, I’m working on WordPress version 5.3.2 and bbPress version 2.6.3
Thank you very much!

that bar can be hidden

once activated go to

I have run all the tools and checked the cache.
At one point it appeared that the forum was reporting freshness based on the latest topic, not the latest reply.
But it is so all over the place, I am not sure that is the case anymore.

Here is a screen shot that shows a typical error.

Here is a link to the above forum:

https://www.thewargameswebsite.com/forums/forum/general-discussion-3/game-design/

The thing that baffles me, is that the freshness URL is correct.
So why is the bbpress forum itself not reflecting this?

https://www.thewargameswebsite.com/forums/view/topics-freshness/

Here is the site, please do have a look around in the various forums and you will see the freshness is a mess.

If anyone can help I will be very appreciative.

Back again. I swep whole testing site, delete database and reinstall everything including wordpress and forum loos OK now.
But on my production site which is running on Divi the problem still exist. So it will be really something on Divi´s end…

[nickds]

Hi Robin, fully understand. Thanks for your reply.
The issue appears on default wordpress theme and the same appears on Divi theme. I already discuss with the support from Divi and they´v replied, that it has something to do with plugin itself.

[Robin W]

thanks, I’ve logged a trac ticket o the authors will be aware

if you enable subscriptions they could just subscribe to the forums

or presuming these people have a specific role (eg moderator) then

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

[Michael]

In bbpress 2.6.3 threaded replies only work if the WordPress adminbar is enabled. If it is disabled and you click a reply link of a lower level reply the page is reloaded which is not supposed happen. If you then post the reply, it is added at the end of the forum post and not after the corresponding reply.

The bug is in templates/js/reply.js line 109ff. If you remove the reference to the adminbar, threaded replies work properly.

The bug did not exist in bbpress 2.6.1.

I’m new to WordPress and bbPress, so I apologize if my terminology isn’t quite right 🙂

I have create a pretty page and inserted the BB shortcode which shows all the forums. However, when I open one of the forums, or one of the topics, I find each opening in a fairly generic page.

Is it possible to create nice pages for these, and tell bbPress to open the forum/topic in the page I created? (I don’t like the default page).

[John James Jacoby]

It would be awfully helpful if bbPress could email the admin when this happens, rather than the admin having to spot hidden posts

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3325

Okay, found a solution (albeit a little janky):

1. Go to the Topic and Reply screens in question (or any screen you want to edit), select “Screen Options” in the top right, then check/uncheck the meta-boxes that you want visible/invisible to your moderators (basically set up the screen to look the way you want moderators to see it)

2. Install the plugIn FV Clone Screen Options

3. Since FV doesn’t clone Screen Options to subscriber accounts (my moderators have the Subscriber WP role and Moderator bbPress role), temporarily give moderators the Contributor WordPress role.

4. Now clone the Screen Options you set up in step one to your Moderators with the FV Clone Screen Options plugin

5. Switch moderators back to the Subscriber WordPress Role

6. Hide the “Screen Options” tab for Subscriber accounts using the Adminimize plugin (found under the plugin’s Global Options > Screen Options), so moderators can’t make those meta-boxes visible again

Bit of a workaround, but seems to have worked.
Only issue is that I will have to remember do this process for any new moderator that gets appointed.

All the best, stay FUNKY!

Hi, When a moderator edits a Topic in the WordPress Dashboard, there’s a section near the bottom with the Replies in it. However it also reveals user’s email and IP addresses.

Is there a way to hide the emails and IP’s in this section for moderators?
I’ve already hidden IP’s on the front end for mods by editing some code related to the loop-single-reply.php (more info here, thank you Robin).

Or, is there a way to make the Replies box that appears there turned off by default for moderators, under the screen options?

Thank you, Sam
