Hi,

As I needed to have a customisable register form for BBPress, I changed the registration to the customisable fields I needed and altered the database. This works fine.

However now when a new user registers and logs in, they cannot view the profile page as a “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

When I look in the back end as an admin the user is automatically given the role of “subscriber”. If changed to “Forum Participant” the user is allowed to view the profile page, however I want the role to be set automatically, rather than the admin doing it.

So I have got to the point where in the registration process I have this code so far to fix this:

//Where $u is the newly registered user who has been added to the database

$u->remove_role( ‘subscriber’ );

$u->add_role( ” );

The problem is I don’t know the parameter in the add_role function for Forum Participants (or any other way to do this).

If anyone could tell me this it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

I have set the forum to “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies”

However when a guest attempts to post they get the “Are you sure you wanted to do that?” nonce error.

We are using 2.1.2 bbpress and 3.4.1 WordPress

Has it been solved? bbPress is a great plugin but I’m experiencing the same register/signup issue and I’m at a loss, I tried to look under the hood of the bbPress register and WP Multisite signup processes but everything just goes way over my head. I’have done an extensive google search for hints, suggestions, solutions but I couldn’t find anything helpful (well, at least for my low skills!)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Luca

I have bbpress Version 2.1.2 installed and in the forum itself the admin’s profile shows the phrase “Key Master” under (where a normal user shows “Subscriber.” How can I change the wording of “Key Master” to something else, like Site Owner or something?

Just to be clear: Permissions and functions are all working as expected: This is purely changing the wording visible in the forum itself, just like in this forum it shows “member” under my name.

Tried searching on this with no luck. Older forum discussions mention being able to change this at the user account level in WP, but I see no options there.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Is it possibly a server config issue?
I am also getting this error:

Error: Are you sure you wanted to do that? New install, no bbpress files changed

and their fix was to move from a godaddy test server to a real domain…..

Hi,

I’d like to know if bbpress has the functionality of approving a post before its published on forum, with that also is it possible to send the user who’s post has been published an alert email?

Thanks in advance!

I’m planning to integrate BBPress to my WordPress site and I was informed that it already allows single login integration.

Does it also allow single registration? I mean, when a user registers on my WP site, does he automatically have access to bbpress? How about when a user registers on the bbpress forum, does that user get a WP user account as well?

If not, is there already a way to do this and can someone point me to the right resource?

Thanks!

Hello, everyone! I know the newest version of bbPress is supposed to have theme compatability, but for some reason, it doesn’t with my theme. (I use Magazine Basic.) Here is a picture of whats wrong: Can someone help me with this problem?

I am trying to integrate my WordPress template with Buddypress (with integrated bbPress 2.1).

I was wondering if it was possible to make a popular forum entry (ex: most clicked on, most replied to, etc) into a post automatically so it would show on my main page.

Thank you!

After installing bbPress, refresh permalinks twice.

[Garindan]

It’s ok 🙂

My site was on a godaddy test server. I have moved it to final domain/server now and all is working well 🙂

[lucabarbetti]

Hello,
in my test website I use WordPress 3.4.1, bbPress 2.1.2, permalink set to /%postname%/ and a handful of plugins which I have deactivated to avoid conflicts.
Basically when I try to submit a topic or a reply from the frontend, as a subscriber, I get the ‘white page’. The topic/reply is created, as admin I can edit it from the backend, but it doesn’t have the permalink and the edit permalink button. Also, the topic/reply is counted but it is shown in the corresponding frontend lists (obviously clicking on it gives a 404-page not found) only if I’m NOT logged in as admin.
If I write a topic/reply from the frontend while logged in as admin, I don’t get the white screen but still the topic/reply is created whithout permalink.
If I add as admin a topic/reply from the backend then the permalink is created and everything works. Also the topics/replies added from the backend are the only topics/replies that are shown in the frontend list while logged in as admin.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards

[regevlio]

when im using bbpress and posting a new message in a forum i don’t have the success message

the usual errors are there but the “your message recived” or “your post was posted” or whatever … is missing

why is that ?

[Danwp23]

Hello, I am working on a website, and I’m trying to add the bbpress forums, I install the plugin and everything seems fine, until I want to view one of the forums, it always appear a 404 error message when I try to access example.com/forums/forum/…., this only happens when I set the permalinks to postname, because when I use the default permalink, there’s no problem and it doesn’t show the 404 not found error, anyone know what could be?

Hi Lynq
Yes we have a link on our website that takes the user to our forum installed at
http://www.s4ndb0x.com/forums/forum/b3tz-issues/

that link includes parameters to send a userid, password, email, first and last name. If the user is in the wordpress DB then we log them in. (if not we register them using insert_new_user) this all works and the user shows up as being logged in, they can reply to the current topic if they wish

The problem is that when they click on another topic bbpress does not see them as logged in any longer.

thanks
bryan

@Lynq:
Thanks for the tip!
Never saw the “Forum Search” here – nice but not what I really want.

That would mean 6 searches (because we have 6 forums here currently) plus using the additional “Reply Search” if I am in a long (single) topic thread…

Also, both search boxes are only visible at second or third sight, better would be the occasional search box at the top or so…

And if we are already on topic: just implement a proper search in bbPress core, that’s what the users want. Every user that asked me for any bbPress 2.x help wanted a proper forum search. Everyone. Period. So there’s really a need for that. (I’d love to drop my search widget plugin ASAP!!!)

One could find some information, yes, but it’s really ineffective and NOT how it should be as an native implementation.

A proper full text search over the complete forum – and an extra search over the Codex here – or both combined would be of greatest usefulness for all users here I guess!

If it’s not possible just implement a proper Google Custom Search (already on WordPress.org…) — maybe I am doing just that for myself: setting up another Google Custom Search because the current situation does just not satisfy me (and don’t fits to this community here IMHO).

Thanks, Dave 🙂

Hi all, have just finished installing bbpress on a website. Got everything set up and ready to go, site was meant to go online today. Went to test forum and add first sticky post. Upon clicking ‘submit’ it comes back saying ‘Error: Are you sure you wanted to do that?’ in a pink box. I haven’t changed any bbpress files except bhp-common-template, changed forum base breadcrumb to point to my own page. Thats it! Any idea’s? I’ve also added forum pages to custom post types so I can add my theme options. Might that do anything? Using latest bbpress, compatability theme, and InFocus by MySiteMyWay as my theme.

Edit: Have removed custom post types and tested, no different. Created new forums and tested, no different. Tested with forum profile and a site admin profile, no different. Also tested with different browsers, doesn’t work 🙁

Have you done anything with bbPress at all?
You could delete the plugin if you haven’t done anything with it and then re-install if you need it back.

[Lynq]

When you say send the user to your bbPress forum and log them in, is this happening during another process or are they clicking a link or? I am not too sure on how the sending is working and just wanted to get it clarified so I could try and help.

All the best.

[Lynq]

I decided my quickest route to upgrading was to start from scratch and copy across any of the CSS I used that I would need. This allowed me to clean up my bbPress theme and get it working as perfect as I can with my site.

Good luck!

[Lynq]

If I go into a forum category and not just the latest posts on the home page I see a forum search to the left, what do you see if you visit this page: https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/installation/

[David Decker]

What version of bbPress do you use?
If you have 2.0.x then Genesis compatibility is included already.

But with newest versions 2.1+ you also need the Genesis Connect plugin called “bbPress Genesis Extend” to be installed which can be downloaded here:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

Hope that helps, Dave 🙂
