Ive had a search through the forums here and cant find an answer to my question, i have just installed bbpress and it integrates perfectly into my current wordpress installation. I notice whenever a post is made in bbpress the authors ip address is logged and is visible to the administrator. I would like to disable this and set it so that no ip addresses are stored at all.

From what i can tell the ip’s seem to be stored in the following db field:

wp_postmeta/meta_value

I have a function i found online for wordpress which prevents the ip from being logged:

add_filter('pre_comment_user_ip', 'no_ips');
function no_ips($comment_author_ip){
  return '';
}

Can the above be converted for use with bbpress?

Any advice would be appreciated 🙂

bbpress is under active development by JJJ, so the latest versions should work with the latest versions of wordpress.

[Xevo]

As far as I know bbpress is already build on wordpress’s custom post types, you would be better off trying something like this with post meta.

Doubt anything like that has been made for bbpress though.

bbpress != wordpress

If your a programmer, you should read up on the codex, if not I do not recommend to do this yourself. I would recommend rehiring the designer/programmer (if he has the necessary knowledge).

This has almost nothing to do with bbPress, as it uses the info from wordpress.

Here’s a page about it.

I am also having this issue. I assume it has to do with this option being ‘disabled’ as mentioned in the plugin at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab.

I tried installing that plugin and enabling but the editor still doesn’t show up. Anyone have any information about this?

Hi guys!

I’m a newbie in this field, so excuse me if my question is stupid, but I know you are the best in WP and I could use some help.

A couple o years ago I decided to create an Online Currency Converter and I paid a web-desiger to build a new and functional design.

Now I want to move it on WordPress because this gives me more liberty but I don’t know if I can and how should I do that. Some tutorials or tips could help me a lot! Thanks!

Hi.
Somehow I managed to make my submit button disappear, while adjusting my child theme. Now it’s not possible to create a new topic nor reply to existing topics. You can submit by hitting return, but of course this is not very handy.

If I change to the parent theme the button is visible. But surely, I want to keep my child theme.
I’ve gone through all the adjusted css and it doesn’t seem as if any buttons has been set to “display:none”.

Can someone please tell me how I get my submit button back?

You can view the test forum here

I’m using WordPress 3.6 and bbpress Version 2.3.2
My child theme is based on Magazine Basic

WordPress with bbPress. Just got this post:

Clicking the link to go to page 2 of the General Discussion forum or the Introduce Yourself forum directs one to page 2 of the Favorite Cuisine thread (which actually has no posts).

So I went to check, and he’s part-right. General Discussion is fine but Introduce Yourself takes me to another forum but not the one he landed on. I tried five times and always the same one came up.

(I left, tried again and realized the topic it goes to is up on page one in the first ten posts. Page two should bring up the eleventh post).

I checked the topic I landed on and all settings are fine in the admin area.

(I won’t post the URL as it isn’t for all ages) but any idea what could be wrong?

[SickSquirrelTwo]

… or words to that effect. I had it and another error.I panicked but could not log in here to post (the “lost password” link never showed up) so Googled the error; it brought me back here! But I read the first thread in the search results and it ed me to a plugin conflict with Spam Destroyer. Deactivated it and viola! People have been telling me for weeks that they posted but I could not find anything.

I’m used to phpBB and the “new posts” button. I had to go through more than two dozen topics in the sidebar to look for new posts. This feature would be nice for those using bbPress and WordPress.

This is a thank you for the help and a suggestion

Hi,

I am currently looking into an issue, for which I didnt find any solution:

Since I am using the WordPress backend for profile editing, i dont want to give the user any access to the build in bbpress profile page. How can I disable this? I think the easiest way is to disable the link from the user name, but if you have a better idea i will be glad to hear it 🙂

Any input is much appreciated!!

How can you change the background of posts and the table containing the forum titles? The background of my core wordpress site is okay (I have Responsive theme installed), but the forum area should have a different color, especially the posts. Where can I find the apporpiate code sctions for this in the CSS?

[JosiahW]

When users register to my BuddyPress + bbPress site they are not being assigned the default role I have selected for them in the forums settings. It simply does not assign them any role.
I have to go in and manually assign them the role or use the “Remap existing users to default forum roles” tool.

Any idea what could be causing that? I have all other plugins disabled with the exception of: Custom Login 2.0 which just themes the existing wordpress login and registration pages.

There is a thread on this on WordPress.org – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-forum-pages?replies=7#post-4519232

Genesis 2 does not fully support bbPress. A fix is needed either in Genesis core itself or the compat plugin, but is not yet in place.

If you run bbPress do not upgrade to Genesis 2.0. Keep an eye out on that plugin for a future update to hopefully address the issue.

Works fine for me !

I have a phpBB (3.0.11) forum since many years. After a good clean up, I am down at these stats
1 200 members
18 000 subjects
52 000 answers

My urls looks like this
http://www.mysite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=27944

In Google i get 280 000 results if I type this
“mysite.com/forum/viewtopic.php”

I am feeling this forum software (thanks for all these nice years!) gets behind the actual social life these years so I am looking to change for another forum (hopefully with Facebook login!)

What will happen if I decide to switch to installing bbPress into my actual WordPress ? I have read the codex, but doest my urls and so my results in google would all be lost (as I can’t see how a rewrite redirect url could work here anyway) ?

Latest Attachment PunBB.php

Fixed:

• Topics
• Replies
• User Nice Name ‘user_nicename’ & Display Name ‘user_displayname’ import fields
• User PunBB MSN

Outstanding:

• Forum/Category? hierarchy (currently parent forums/categories are imported ‘flat’)
• User Passwords
• – Custom BBCode for Topic & Reply Content

NOTE: If you are importing ‘users’ during the import you will see multiple instances of the following error message:-
– Notice: Undefined variable: user_pass in /home/webhost/public_html/wp-includes/user.php on line 1305
This can be ignored and only relates to the current non-working state of converting user passwords. If you need to login (or users login) they will just need to reset their WordPress password to be able to login.

[Stephen Edgar]

@capacitron Thanks a bunch for testing it out, glad it worked.

bbPress & BuddyPress use the same WordPress user table so everything should be common across both plugins and WordPress itself.

That said, any extra profile data I can get from the source forum, in this case MyBB we are storing the extra data in the WordPress ‘usermeta’ table so this data can be manipulated/imported/whatever at a later time.

With MyBB I only see 3 extra user profile fields to store (ICQ, MSN & Signature), the rest WordPress includes by default (AIM, Yahoo etc) .

Looking at the current version of MyBB.php importer at Line #474 you will see the three entries I have (summarized below):

• // Store ICQ (Stored in usermeta)
  ‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_mybb_user_icq’
• // Store MSN (Stored in usermeta)
  ‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_mybb_user_msn’
• // Store Signature (Stored in usermeta)
  ‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_mybb_user_sig’,

Thus under each imported user in the wp_usermeta table under each user id the above data will also be stored…. So for example if you wanted to install a bbPress/BuddyPress signature plugin to extend either of these plugins you could then copy the data from this stored field to the field that the plugin uses f or storing user signature data. As any of this can be done in numerous ways by plugin authors each site admin will need to decide what plugin to use and how to shift around any relevant data.

I have updated the SMF Importer and you can download the latest again via the same links in my original post above.
Fixed:

• Forum parent hierarchy
• Imported Replies now import correctly
• User Display Name

Outstanding:

• User Passwords
• Custom BBCode for Topic & Reply Content

NOTE: If you are importing ‘users’ during the import you will see multiple instances of the following two error messages:-

• Notice: Undefined variable: user_pass in /home/webhost/public_html/wp-includes/user.php on line 1305
• Notice: Undefined index: salt in /home/webhost/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/SMF.php on line 566

These can both be ignored and only relates to the current non-working state of converting user passwords. If you need to login (or users login) they will just need to reset their WordPress password to be able to login.

When I insert links into a reply for a topic via the the link option or by inputting html directly, it never shows up in the reply. In fact if my reply consists only of a link and no text apart from it, ll i get is an empty\blank reply to the topic. I’ve tried this with different user roles too, since i suspected the ability to post unrestricted html might’ve been the problem, but no such luck. I’m relatively new to wordpress, so i apologise if this has an obvious fix or an apparent reason.

Wordpress 3.6
BBpress 2.3.2

[Bencuri]

I installed BBpress, the newest version to the newest version of WordPress. So I used this plugin version of BBpress. The forum installs, I can load the XML export file that is an export of a recent forum that I have to manage elsewhere, it is accepted by the new installation. From the dashboard, if I click view the Forum in tha forum management section, it takes me to the forum, everything is visible, cathegories, posts, member. But, the only problem is that the forum is not accessible on any link from my WordPress frontpage. Why is it so? How can I make it visible on the front page? I just want to make this new site to be a forum, so the forum frontpage should be ont he WordPress core site frontpage, but it is not there. Also if I type /forum after my domain name, the browser reports error, as if the forum doesn’t exsist. But from the dashboard, I can open the forum. What can be the problenm?
