I’m having issues with spammers. There are tons of posts in the posts table in the database, but only the 4 I originally created are showing. And someone else, who seems to be a spammer, seems to have moderation rights in the forum.

I also have WordPress multisite installed and that’s giving me troubles too, but I wonder if this is all related? I’m thinking of blowing away bbpress, truncating all of the bbpress tables and starting again.

I’m going to be changing the admin passwords today. I want to query the user table for users with admin rights. How do I do that?

Ok, i took a look around (and saw now the post of Submachiner :-p) and found a solution – there’s still a problem with “raquos” in the rss-file. Go to the root-directory of your bbpress-forum and open the rss.php, then replace all the &raquos; in it with something else, for example with >> . After doing this the Feeds show all content now

Jyri makes good job with bbP and WP

Because Akismet messes the whole forum up.

I almost don´t remember why, but it kept real users from posting and registering and messed up post counts where there was no need for it, and more.

I installed bbnospamuser and thought it worked… because it said it caught several spammers in the statistics, untill today. Another idiot spammer advertising a Nissan.

I´m gonna install project honeypot too.

But the biggest flaw, and READ THIS NIGHTGUNNER, is that BBpress doesnt give me the IP of users, so I cant register these car spammers in the database.

If you want to turn your forum private, use this plugin.

Yes, this is a common problem and as far as I know there is no easy solution to it.

I suppose you can write a simple plugin/script to remove all tags inserted by a certain user from your database…

I have a script that I made that pulls the count of posts a user does on bbpress and displays it on wordpress page template. For some reason I can’t get it to work. I know I need to add something to wordpress but I am not sure what. Here is the script so far.

function get_user_posts_forums1($user_id) {

global $wpdb; // I know I need to change this

$count = $bbdb->get_results(“

SELECT COUNT( * ) AS total

FROM {$bbdb->posts}

WHERE poster_id = {$user_id};”, object);

return $count[0]->total;

}

Any ideas?

I´ve done some searching myself, and hopefully you guys can help me pick the best solution of these listed plugins:

bb-NoSpamUser

-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nospamuser/

Sounds good if these spammers IPs are included in the database

Project Honeypot

-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/php4bb/

Same goes for this one. Which is more reliable for BBpress 1.02?

reCAPTCHA

-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/recaptcha-bbpress/#post-3955

Ugly, but may work better than Human Test, any opinions?

Clickcha

-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/clickcha/

Same goes for this one

Blocklist

-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/blocklist/

Perhaps more labour intensive than necessary?

I thought I may as well try installing bbpress from my wordpress install. I renamed the config file, dropped the database and then removed the C:xampphtdocsmysitewp-contentplugins bbpress install file. I then searched for bbpress in the plugins section and installed the bbpress plugin. However, when I went to activate, I got the error: “The plugin does not have a valid header.”

Hi all, just installed locally on a XAMPP install. using Latest version of Google Chrome. I only recieved one error when installing: “Key master email not sent!”. I assume this is because my local site has not been set up for email? When I navigate to my forum http://localhost/mysite/forums, I am able to browse my first topic, however when I login, I get a blank page with two warnings and 4 deprecated messages:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-settings.php:186) in C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-adminincludesclass.bb-install.php on line 390

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-settings.php:186) in C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-includesfunctions.bb-core.php on line 1101

I assume that this is a PHP config issue, any ideas?

BTW: I followed this guide: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/idiots-guide-to-installing

[Submachiner]

sorry, realised that post counts is actually a plugin and not an installed feature in the bbpress coding. ill just contact a plugin creator about it.

delete this thread please.

I have the same problem. Fresh bbpress installation – a click on the rss-link in a thread only shows the headline but no posts. Any solution existing?

Thanks in advance

I just started a new forum with bbpress 1.0.2. Akismet is catching spam and deleting the posts but the tags left by the spammers don’t get deleted.

So I had a couple of questions: first, is this a common problem and second, is there a way round it?

I’ve just installed the Human Test plug-in which will hopefully keep the bots off the forum but still won’t keep any human spammers away.

Thanks for any assistance.
