Hi,
How to let users follow each other in bbPress without using BuddyPress?

[bricktram]

I have copied this across from the WordPress support site on the suggestion of someone on there due to the problem only developing after trying to install bbPress on the website I manage.

“I have recently been adding a members only area to a website that I manage and have so far not had any problems until I tried adding a forum. I don’t know if it is plugin related for the problem to come about, but disabling the plugins to see if one of them is causing the problem doesn’t seem to fix it.

When I try to edit some pages or posts that have already been published, I sometimes get a ‘403 Forbidden, Access to this resource on the server is denied!’ error when I click on the ‘Preview Changes’ or ‘Update’ button. I only get this with certain posts or pages. I have tried to re-create the same pages that get the error from scratch, and have found that the error only happens when I include a link that opens in a new tab.

The existing version of the posts and pages are working fine, and I can edit everything okay. I just can’t preview or publish any post or page that includes a link that opens in a new tab.

I use the ‘Classic Editor’ plugin for editing posts and pages. I also have the ‘s2Member Framework’ plugin for the members only areas. This problem seems to have come about today after installing the ‘bbPress’ plugin to add a forum to the site.

The last time a post was successfully published with a link that opens in a new tab was on the 31st May and the only change I have made since then is installing the ‘bbPress’ plugin this morning (13th June).

I’ve tried looking at various troubleshooting suggestions, but none of them seem to fix it.

Edit: Since posting the above, I’ve been looking at some of the other posts and pages and it seems I can no longer see a pattern to which ones I can edit and which I can’t. I had thought it was something to do with the code for opening links in new tabs or windows due what I mentioned above. Now I can’t see any obvious similarity between which ones I can and which I can’t edit.

Thanks in advance for any help.”

… I think I found the settings buried in the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) Settings, I just turned off Topics -> Topics Settings -> Recipients “Select one or more roles below to determine which users will be notified of new Topics.

I’m wondering if there is a flag that allows users to subscribe to everything, since some users want to receive all new messages and some don’t…?

[davedm]

I’m having an issue where users are receiving email notifications for everything that gets posted on the forum. They are not able to opt out of specific forums/threads and only opt in to the topics they are interested in.

I’ve looked at the docs and not sure if it’s a software glitch or some other plugin on my site causing this functionality. They’ve unselected other threads (unsubscribed) but still receive their notifications.

I’m also using …

– Ultimate Member (free version).
– bbp style pack Version 4.5.4 by Robin Wilson
– bbPress Notify (No-Spam) Version 2.9.3 by Vinny Alves (UseStruct Consulting)

Not sure if any of those might be interacting too.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Dave

@lhawk bbpress has no paid staff. I am just a bbpress user who fell into helping out here to return the favour for others who helped me.

I do paid work as well – you can contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/

[Robin W]

best I can suggest is to look at item 8

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

sorry, I’d need to buy elementor to even see how it works, let alone the additional plugin 🙂 so catch 22 !

maybe worth adding a comment to this thread to see if any of the people there can help

bbPress + Elementor

[lhawk]

I need to be able to style the forum to look like the rest of the site and I need it to have a sidebar and I’ll need to insert images from time to time. I’d have to buy that plugin to find out it won’t do what I need it to do. The comment under the video is “But as soon as you click on a Topic you exit the Elementor styled page. Is there a way to style all bbpress pages with Elementor?” and the response is “Sorry, all bbpress things are not possible to design directly, because there some dynamic part that not possible to design with elementor.” So it won’t do what I need it to do.

I do have a question in to Elementor developers asking what can be done, but I was hoping someone here might have a solution that doesn’t require another plugin.

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress looks at

the WordPress block list
no. links

in that part of the code, so maybe worth asking paid memberships if they do any checking.

Otherwise without site access, I can only guess that another plugin is doing something.

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress just uses WordPress moderation, so do you have anything set in

dashboard>settings>discussion that could be affecting?

[Robin W]

looks like you need this

bbPress

[Robin W]

this works on my test site

add_filter( 'bbp_default_styles', 'rew_dequeue_bbpress_css' ) ;

function rew_dequeue_bbpress_css ($defaults ){
unset ($defaults['bbp-default']) ;
return $defaults ;
}

[Robin W]

might be better as this to ensure it fires after bbpress has loaded

add_action ('plugins_loaded' , 'rew_dequeue_bbpress_css' ) ;

function rew_dequeue_bbpress_css () {
	wp_dequeue_script ('bbp-default') ;
}

[kikismedia]

Is there a snippet I can add to my theme function to disable the bbpress css style

[kikismedia]

Please is there a way I can do this
Stop the bbpress replies from. Showing in buddypress activity

[JohnRDOrazio]

I can confirm that the problem is in bbpress do shortcodes, I will leave it deactivated for the time being and will open a ticket on the plugin support forum.

Hi,

We have been looking for a solution for a long time to mention a user in bbPress.
I found a mention plugin for WP comments. Maybe it’s a little easier to filter things out of this than from BuddyPress and make a mentioning plugin for bbPress…

Comment Mention

[robertherold]

I have installed wordpress, bbpress and BNFW in a new directory and the error persists:
If I edit the email address on the bbPress profile page, WP will send a confirmation email.
If I edit the email address on the admin page, BNFW will send a confirmation email.

Oh, I see you found the BNFW support page 🙂

[Robin W]

that’s fine, just checking other possibilities.

so with just bbpress and BNFW you have the issue – yes ?
and this is user changing email address by going to ‘edit my profile’ and changing their email – yes
and then disable bbpress and the problem goes ?

Sorry if questions seem repetitive or picky – but history has shown if I don’t double check, I can spend hours chasing the wrong problem 🙂

[robertherold]

bbp style pack
bbPress Mentions Email Notifications
bbPress Notify (No-Spam)
GD bbPress Tools

But I have already tried to deactivate them all.

[Robin W]

hmm…bbpress doesn’t use either of those filters

what other bbpress related plugins are you using ?

[Robin W]

but bbpress is activated – yes ?

[tumptyteapot]

Thank you for your reply
