I wasn’t sure how to permanently fix the issue with the bbPressModeration plugin, but I was able to keep the plugin partially working by commenting out the if statement the function query($bbp) on line 153.

` function query($bbp) {
// if (!bbp_is_query_name( ‘bbp_widget’ )) {
// $bbp[‘post_status’] .= ‘,pending’;
// }
return $bbp;
}
`

The only issue here is that when a users posts a topic or reply, there is no placeholder for that post (eg “This post is awaiting moderation”). The unmoderated post just doesn’t appear at all. But at least all my previous posts still appear.

Okay, and just to make matters weirder, I could log into my WordPress install (same account/password but for some reason you have to login again when you go over to bbpress) on the same iPhone.

AND I could log into the bbpress side on a different iPhone (borrowed one from somebody). But on my own iPhone I suddenly can’t. And I’ve been doing it successfully for years.

Did you try installing a new keyboard on the phone? Are you current with all system updates?

@themattman Can you please start a separate topic so we can go through your vBulletin issues.

When you start this new topic can you please include the exact details of the error messages you are seeing.

You also should not be running the ‘repair tool’ whilst the converter is still running, you run it after the conversion has finished. You may also want to check the docs here for any known issues with vBulletin conversion.

[Stephen Edgar]

There is a known issue with bbPress Moderation plugin.

I raised the issue of bbPress 2.3 compatibility with the plugin author ~2 months ago and for now I suggest you disable this plugin until the author updates the plugin.

I still have problems on my wordpress 3.5.1 site here http://www.truckstop24.no/truckerforum/

Hi Guys,
Maybe this was discussed before but I cannot find any clue.
is there anyway to protect my forum and only customers can browse topics.and show only the first post of each topic to visitors/not customers !

I have seen a lot of sites using bbpress doing this but I cannot find where I should start!
any help would be grateful.

regards

Bump

[Jeff Farthing]

After the upgrade, none of my users can post to my forums.

[premitheme]

I’m having the same error message (Are you sure you wanted to do that?) as @premitheme is having on a local/MAMP server.

Finally, I’m not alone 🙂

Update: Tried “DesktopServer.app” which is based on XAMPP, it worked!! On “Bitnami MAMP Stack”, it DOESN’T work (the same as MAMP). I’m going to try XAMPP itself and even will setup Apache/PHP/MySQL manually on my Mac and see this makes any difference.

Hope that bbp developers can help us, with all the appreciation. Why I can use 2.2.4 on MAMP while I CAN’T use 2.3. I’m using the latest MAMP version BTW.

Lets bump this

[ubound]

***always knew it, I mean. Sorry for typo 🙂

[ubound]

Okay, all my posts and replies disappeared from the site. Fortunately, I had backup of my entire blog and forum, so I had there bbpress version 2.1.2

I uninstalled the latest version deleted all files, then uploaded 2.1.2. version via FTP. Then I need to click one last save in bbpress settings and everything is online again…

Testing environment is a wise idea. Always new it, but didn’t want to do. Now I learned 😉

Soooo glad my forum is back up. I will think about the rest tomorrow. Phewwww!

Thank you guys!

With the most recent botnet attack on WordPress powered websites, I’m (once again) reviewing the measures I take to secure my WP installations.

Most WP admins understand the importance of not using the default “admin” username when setting up a site. Many WP admins do not realize that simply using a different main admin username is not enough. That username should be “obscure” (not easily guessed) and it certainly should not be the same as the publicly displayed “nickname” that is associated with the user account. Those need to be different – this helps to prevent bots and bad people from getting the first part of your login credentials = your username.

While I been taking action to ensure this is the case on the WP sites I manage, I’ve noticed a problem with the way that bbpress displays username information. Even if a user has a “nickname” that is different from the actual username – when you hover over a link to the user’s profile the URL will show the actual username (the one you are trying to hide through obscurity).

There is an older thread on the WP forums that seems to suggest that this is not a WP core issue, but rather a plugin/theme coding issue. I don’t know if that is correct, or not. But, it is an issue in any case and needs to be addressed.

“I can confirm @aburi‘s solution for getting the Admin menus back. I went to Settings/Forums, ticked the check box for Auto Role, saved. The menus were back.”

Yep, me too.

Thanks!

Seemingly trivial and minor of a change, yet actually a huge change with no notice.

The bbPress body class has changed from bbPress to bbpress (losing the capital P). Depending on how much you’ve customized bbPress or if you’ve created a bbPress theme integrated right into a WordPress theme, all customizations will be broken.

This also breaks backwards-compatibility except for doubling up and references both .bbPress and .bbpress which will have to be done in my case.

Luckily, I discovered this issue in my testing environment. As you’ll find from the many topics that will be piling up over broken customization confusion over the next several days, others won’t be so lucky to catch the issue without learning the hard way.

Thanks, Bryan

[ubound]

Yes, once I updated all topics and replied disappeared from the site. They seem to be available in backend but even if I hit publish again nothing gets published. This is a huge problem for me. I need to downgrade somehow? What to do? Any ideas?

[atburi]

Hi @johnjamesjacoby,

Thanks for the update, especially for the forums search functionality.

One question – is there any way to have the search pick up topic tags as well? Right now, it seems only to search text in the forum name, topic title, and topic content.

Thanks! and to anyone else that can help.

Alex

I can confirm @aburi’s solution for getting the Admin menus back. I went to Settings/Forums, ticked the check box for Auto Role, saved. The menus were back. I then unticked it, saved again, and they stayed. I’m guessing there is some issue with the upgrade that is causing bbPress to need it’s settings to be resaved.

Tried the same thing with bbPress Moderation. Enabled it, went to Settings/bbPress Moderation, changed a setting, saved… topics in forums were still not showing. 🙁

[Arturo]

same here, in admin i can’t find the Forums, Topics and Replies menu.

Update to bbPress 2.3 from 2.2.4 on WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.7

Thanks for the fast patch @johnjamesjacoby

[atburi]

@dpmcalister very strange. Once I went to Settings / Forums / and ticked the check box:

“Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.”

then saved, the ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’, and ‘Replies’ admin menus showed up.

Guess this is a bug they’ll fix shortly, but for now there’s a quick fix!

[premitheme]

Just FYI, installed on live host and worked fine, but no way on localhost!! This makes development impossible. I always develop for bbp and wp on localhost without any issues, can someone tell me what is happening, I tried to search but no success.

[atburi]

Thanks @dpmcalister. Does anyone know how long until the fix is released?

I wonder why such a major bug wasn’t noticed during development of 2.3. Does it have something to do with our particular install?

[dpmcalister]

There’s a few of us with that issue. Just waiting on a fix.
