Hoping someone can confirm this bug to avoid this issue being skipped for the 2.3 release since it is considered critical

———————–
john the admin creates group1 – jane creates group2 (private)

when jane visits group2 to create a forum post, it is posted to group1 and everyone can view the private forum post.

tested twice with new installs wordpress 3.5.1 + buddypress trunk-6779 + bbpress trunk 4761

jane is a standard user (participant)

Does anyone know if this works, or if there is any ability to make it work? I’m manually transferring a busy forum over to bbpress.

I am trying to do something which i feel should be pretty simple.

I want to make forum/topics that are only visible and accessible by certain users i can determine myself.

For instance one forum/topic that only 2 forum users say “john” and “paul” have access to along with our admin.

There does not appear to be a way of doing this and i have tried most of the plugins the last 4 days of googling have provided.

Surely im missing something simple?

Im using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress, just downloaded this week.

The forum in question – though not live, can be seen here: http://69.195.124.85/~youngmo7/12/shortcode-forums/

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, I have BBPress installed in my wordpress GEO Theme. My site is US nationwide which means people can post their place listing for every State and City. I would like to offer the option to the place listing owners to create a private forum for their place. So, it will more than likely be thousands of private forums within my site. Is this possible with BBPress?

[dwbroad]

Thanks for your reply.

I have just tried putting something at the top of the bbpress.php file but it seems that it never even reaches that file, wordpress seems to decide straight away that the page doesn’t exist so sends it to the 404 bypassing bbpress completely….

Use with care!

Thanks for confirming the first bug. (I’ve also found that this bug can be fixed by simply saving the settings as is.)

I’ve been doing some more investigation on the second issue. It looks like it is not the add_user_to_blog function but the wp_create_user function (probably used in conjuction with add_user_to_blog) that is causing the problem. I’ve written a simple admin page (menu item appears under the Users menu) that will manifest the issue on my multisite setup.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to replicate this using a new install of WordPress MS v3.4.2, bbPress and a few sub sites and users. I will have to carry on looking to why my live MS site is causing this issue to manifest.

Thanks for your reply.

I suspect Better WP Security and bbpress and/or BuddyPress are not compatible or I didn’t figure out the right settings yet.

What is happening: one creates an account, and after receiving an activating e-mail, one fills in name and password, and after that the defeault WP login screen appears (huh) an one has to fill name and password again. I think this is where one can make an new user?

WP-login is supposed to be hidden by Better WP Security, instead some sort of redirect appears in the URL. See testforum http://www.nietdragenmaarklagen.nl

The users multiplied by night, there are 5 now. What is remarkable: these users have WP user role: subscriber and Forum role: none.

The next question is: how to secure this forum? With what plugin or settings?

Thanks.

Hello. Good day! I have installed BuddyPress Plugin on some of my sites. But earlier, I have tried running the exploit scanner plugin on those sites and it has found ‘base64_decode’ and ‘eval()’ lines of code. (Kindly see attached image). I don’t know if I would have to remove the plugin because i found out on some forums and articles that those codes are threats and can cause hijacking and injecting malicious stuffs and the likes. Looking forward on your reply regarding this matter. Thanks!

[Darren1981]

Thanks for that.. I guess i will worry about that later then and worry about the rest of my site design.

Any idea when 2.3 will be released ? just wondering as ive just started messing around with some BBpress templates and CSS so if the next release is near then i might just hold off on adding the forums for now.

Thanks for your help.

Regards, Darren

Michael, can you post a bug on trac over here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ and with some luck someone with better coding skills than I will write a patch for a future release.
(Use your same wordpress.org/bbpress.org username and password)

[Stephen Edgar]

This site is testing the upcoming bbPress 2.3 that will be released in the near future.

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress does not have user ranks builtin, you must have had another plugin installed.

[Stephen Edgar]

What does any of this have to do with bbPress?

If you have a WordPress question post them on WordPress’ support forums https://wordpress.org/support/

If you have a BuddyPress question post them on BuddyPress’ forums https://buddypress.org/support/

[Darren1981]

Hey all,

How would one go about extending the default BBpress post editor ? I would like my users to be able to add images and links.. the current editor seems very basic (I am using the latest version of BBpress)..

Even the editor used here on bbpress.org is much better than the default one.

Thanks in advanced for any assistance on this matter.

Regards, Darren

@Lynq Something went funky with the pull request I just submitted so I closed it, can you drop me an email stephen@netweb.com.au and I will discuss it with you privately.

[dontblastme]

The other day I downloaded bbpress and was just messing around with it and I found a setting to change the ranks and the amount of posts you need to earn them etc. Now I can’t find that though, can someone show me where these settings are?

[isay81]

I am starting a new Web-site and the client wants a forum. I downloaded the wpbbpress Plug in. I added the widget for the login to my sidebar and I Created the First Forum and a topic for that forum. NOW WHAT?

Where is a list of the shortcodes?

HELP????

[whatisajess]

I tried displaying the reply form in my WordPress theme’s single.php file by putting [bbp-reply-form] but it just outputs [bbp-reply-form] as text on the site.
I am using the “bbPress Topics for Posts” plugin to automatically create a new topic with every new post and I want to display the latest replies as well as the reply form under the article but it only displays the replies, not the form. So I thought by adding the shortcode, I would get the form but that didn’t work.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much in advance!

[Lynq]

The only thing to remember is that you can register for wordpress and register for bbPress (bbPress creates a wordpress user). So potentially they could be registering in a different part of your site, which could potentially mean you don’t get an email.

You can usually tell by their email address and username if it’s some kind of bot or something registering for wordpress sites, I just tend to delete them. If I am really unsure I just send them an email from a random email account asking if they recieved their password correctly, don’t recieve an email for two days then I just delete it.

[Lynq]

Just to let you know I have no updated the original link but I don’t think it has the changes you made. Good thing to know for anyone using Github, always sync before you make any changes that is what got me stuck.

I meant to say I HAVE updated the original link.

[Lynq]

Great!

[Lynq]

Inside the bbPress plugin is a folder called: \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default – if you add this into your current theme then you can edit this file to customize it.

[Lynq]

Potentially you could look at doing something with htaccess to redirect /blog/forums to /forums but I am not sure if that is going to cause any issues anywhere else.

Not sure of another way because bbPress sits inside wordpress as a plugin.
