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
After the upgrade, none of my users can post to my forums.
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.
***always knew it, I mean. Sorry for typo 🙂
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’m having the same error message (Are you sure you wanted to do that?) as @premitheme is having on a local/MAMP server.
“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
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?
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.

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. 🙁
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
@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!
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.
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?
There’s a few of us with that issue. Just waiting on a fix.
Once I updated to 2.3, the admin menus for Forums, Topics, and Replies disappeared from the backend. I upgrade across several installs and this happened to all of them, even on the clean install with no other plugins activated.
Anyone else having this issue? and how to resolve?
Thanks,
Alex
Having problems.
Lost admin panel widget for “Forums, Topics and Replies”. Getting this cryptic message error “Cheatin’ uh?”. When trying to access Forums, Topics or Replies through “Right Now In Forums”.
Where can I get 2.24 version?
I have archive-topic.php in my theme and in that way I can have full control of how topic archive is shown. When using bbPress 2.2.4 this works like a charm but when I update to version 2.3 I basically don’t have that archive anymore.
Any pointers which way to look?
