i was talking about spam in forums, akismet is a good filter, better than any out there, registration should have recaptcha (google) and post must be filtered using akismet, the spam topics overpower the content that is actually intended for the forums, these spam topics are even indexed by google,
as for akismet it’s the best spam prevention tool out there, but the only problem i am facing is that although akismet has seperated or accumulated the spam comments in usual wordpress blog, they aren’t quarantined for google has access to the spam comments held by akismet, something should be added so that the spam even though held for moderation doesn’t downgrade the quality content!

Jezza101, did you have a look at the source code for these two plugins:

an old and unsupported buddypress plugin: BP Unread Posts

WP plugin that fails to activate, presumably because of some conflict with BBPress: WP Unread Comments

Are they any help?

I looked into this myself, but I couldn’t find enough documentation to get started. I’m the kind of dev who can get stuff to work if given enough time and decent code examples. Hopefully as more bbpress 2.0 plugins are released there will be more to learn from.

I would agree that this is such a core feature as users surely use this to monitor activity. There is a shortcode which lists out new posts, you can see it on my site here. A list of new posts does go some of the way to help users monitor activity. There is also the RSS feed which is what I use to monitor all posts that are made.

I wouldn’t want to second guess JJJ but from the gist of his posts I get that he is very pro 3rd party involvement. In a number of cases his response has been to say if you want a feature enough then why not get to work on it and add it (obviously easier said than done as most users don’t have the skills!). Does the fact its commercial make a difference? I don’t know, I shouldn’t think so. Commercial WordPress plugins have been around for a while and are widely used.

I’ve inherited a site that used to run bbpress. Apparently it was overrun with spammers in the 2009 timeframe and, even though the previous admin removed bbpress and stopped using it, there are 36,486 rows in the wp_users table, with only 4.290 that actually have roles on the site. Looking over the users with no roles through wp-admin, I can see these IDs are truly bogus.

There does not appear to be consistency of meta_keys in wp_usermeta for users with no roles and users WITH roles on the site. With 1,825 pages of users, scrolling through and deleting them that way would/could take hours so I want to write a SQl statement that will drop all users without roles from the database, just to clean things up.

Has anyone done this before? How can I structure a SQL query that will isolate and remove all IDs and the associated meta data for users with no site role?

Thank you so much, in advance, for any ideas or suggestions that are helpful.

I asked the same question at wordpress.org forum and was directed to ask here. The link from that thread is:

I have bbpress installed and I have configured the settings. I want it to display on my ‘discussion page’ of my wordpress. How do I get it there?

[kendallewis]

I am trying to do the exact same thing. I have installed bbpress but cannot find where it is. I would like to install it on my “discussion page” of my wordpress. Anyone please help or provide direction to an installation tutorial?

Wordpress 3.4.1 / bbPress 2.1.2
We installed bbPress and related plugins. Set up our first forum and topic and in widgets setup bbPress Forums list. When you go to webpage and click on “Forum List” for Forum/Topic we get this message: “This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it? It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.”

We followed bbPress Help page installation word for word. Something is not linking???? We would appreciate any suggestions regarding this.

I have installed bbpress plugin in my wordpress, but there is not latest topcis on my forums front page like on your http://bbpress.org/forums/

Anyone could give me a latest post loop code, so i can insert it manualy to my template?
many thanks!

[Tanya]

In your functions.php file add this code

add_action('login_redirect', 'redirect_login', 10, 3);
function redirect_login($redirect_to, $url, $user) {
if($user->errors['empty_password']){
wp_redirect(get_bloginfo('url').'/log-in-error/');
}
else if($user->errors['empty_username']){
wp_redirect(get_bloginfo('url').'/log-in-error/');
}
else if($user->errors['invalid_username']){
wp_redirect(get_bloginfo('url').'/log-in-error/');
}
else if($user->errors['incorrect_password']){
wp_redirect(get_bloginfo('url').'/log-in-error/');
}
else{
wp_redirect(get_bloginfo('url').'/forums/');
}
exit;
}
I created a page in wordpress called “log in error”, and chose that as the page to be redirected to if you do an incorrect login. In that page I wrote “Your username or password was incorrect. Please try again.” And then I chose bbPress – User Log In as the Template.

Hi myballard, this is the way I am doing it at the moment. If you look in your bbpress plugins folder, you can copy all the files from the ‘extras’ folder (found in bbp-theme-compat folder) into your own theme. Then in wordpress admin, add a new page and call it “Create New Topic” (or whatever you want to call it). Then in the “Template” dropdown, choose “bbPress – Create Topic”. You can do this for login, register, etc. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I now this discussion is existing already in a lot of other topics.
Unfortunately all of the topics are 2-5 years old, most of the pastebin-links are not working anymore and besides this even the structure and the names like front-page.php are not the same anymore like in the old topics.

I don’t want to show on the frontpage the whole tree of forums, sub-forums and sub-sub-forums.
Just one level at the same time and when going one level deeper then also only one level.
I have read already nearly all topics about this on bbpress.org and on Google but as I said there is nothing up to date.

So: I am using WordPress 3.4.1 with the Skeleton theme and bbPress 2.1.2 and the default theme bbp-theme-compat.

In which file or files do I have to change what to hide the sub-forums at least from the frontpage or even better at every hierarchy-level?

Thanks!

Hello!

I’ve just installed bbPress plugin. Everything seems to work fine except private and hidden forums. When I set up private or hidden forum and publish it (and add sub-forums) everything is OK. However when I write a new topic or a new post and submit them in hidden/priavte forum I can’t see no more subforums etc. The same happens when I go to the main page of my forum – I can see only the name of hidden/private forum. There’s no difference if I use my admin account or forum participant account.

Subforums and topics in hidden/private forums apeear again when I go to the Forum options and update forums (but this doesn’t always work… :/ ).

I would be glad if anyone helps me.

My wordpress ver is 3.4.1 I use theme SIGHT and newest bbpress

It’s probably the same problem as here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-description-vanished/

[partager]

Ok it may be a bit confusing like that so you can reffer to my pictures I’ve linked. To be clear: -On forum main page (or sub-forum page) you have Forums names right? -A forum is shown with his title and Description (a picture can also be added right? -Once you clic on the forum name and get to it, the page is displayed with the Forum name in big text then you have post under it right? So, What I want is to get that specific forum description that I can see and read on the forum main page with the picture included. So When i’m in the forum I can read the description and see the image of the forum. All forum page look the same, this would help to see where they are and this is what i want to do. I just don’t know with what php I have to play and what I have to write to see that happen. Can I get some help? could it be a future option?

I am using the plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat package for bbPress forum pages. In other pages in my site, I can easliy remove the sidebars from pages in my theme to display a full width page. But the pages in bbPress are very confusing and difficult to force them to full width. I haven’t been able to find a way to do it with CSS.

How can I make them all bbPress forum pages full width?
How can I make only specific bbPress forum pages full width?

Thanks.

Hi!

I’ve a quick question. Probably it has been asked before, but I was unable to find the answer.

For example the bbpress forumbase is ‘bbpress’. If I go to http://www.mywordpressblog.com/bbpress the page is served via the archive-forum.php template file. But I rather use page-front-forums.php, because I don’t want the archive on that basepage, I want some extra content too.

Is it possible (perhaps via bbpress-functions.php) to change the chosen template file? I have already tried to create a page with the same permalink and the page-front-forums template file, but this page is than overridden by bbpress. So the bbpress base is showed instead of the page.

I hope you can help me out.

Hi. I’ve been going around this all day and haven’t found the answers to my questions so I’m posting them here.

I’m running:
– bbPress v 2.1.2
– Thesis Theme v 1.8.2
– WordPress 3.5 (Network)

These are my problems:

1) I managed to remove the sidebars for bbPress forums puting a php code on the custom_functions.php file of the Thesis Theme, but I can’t get bbPress pages to be full width. How can I tell bbPress to use 100% width?

2) My main forums page doesn’t show anything. I even created a page with the correspond slug and put on it the short code [bbp-forum-index] but this page is still empty.

3) For some reason, bbPress content font is really small. It’s always smaller than my site’s regular font. I have tried every combination of CSS classes and ids to try and change the font size used by bbPress but nothing changes. What’s the class I need to use for this? How can I get bbPress to use the same font size as the rest of my site?

My site is http://www.tunuevocuerpo.com
And the forums are (supposed to be) on http:////www.tunuevocuerpo.com/foros/
You can check one of the forums on http://www.tunuevocuerpo.com/foros/tema/programa/

Thanks in advance.

Hi, all. In the BBpress plugin for WordPress, the default theme does not contain log-in and profile links at the header of every page. How do I add this? Thanks!

Edit: Also. How do I add the latest discussions to the home page?

Hi, I used Byethost’s Free Hosting:

• PHP: 5.3.14
• WordPress: 3.4.1
• Better WP: 3.4.2 *
• bbPress: 2.1.2

I’m trying to activate Better WP and bbPress My website link

If I activate Better WP before, bbPress after so I coundn’t go to Dashboard (Blank page)

If I activate bbPress before, Better WP after so get this message:

> Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 50331648 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/vol14/byethost3.com/b3_10883728/htdocs/epub/wp-admin/includes/schema.php on line 527

I used one of the other solutions but dont’t successfull:

> 1. Try adding this line to my wp-config.php file: define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);
2. Try adding this to an .htaccess file (because I don’t have access to PHP.ini): php_value memory_limit 128M

What additional information do you need? And do you have any ideas how to solve it?

I have a login box now in the header of all pages on my site but if the form isn’t filled out and you click submit it doesn’t display an error message, instead it takes you to the wp-login page. How do I avoid that? Is there something I can add to the shortcode that will require information in the form?

Hi guys, you know the editor we use on this site to be able to start new topics and add replies, its not the same as the editor you get on the standard installation of BBPress (that one looks like a fancy wordpress editor) what im after is finding out what bbpress.org actually use as there editor because on this one you can hit the link or image button and a window pops up where you just simply insert the link and boom it works right in the post

(like this>)

and the post preview just underneath is uber handy!!

Can anyone shine any light as to what bbpress.org use themselves?

Cheers
Steve

I am wanting to change the post count instead to a reply count, same as the current bbPress forum does. How would I go about doing that? I have tried to google and search through these forums but unfortunately haven’t found the answer yet.

I am using the latest version of bbPress and WordPress and my forum is currently in test mode at netballscoop.com/forums
