I have few writers with wp roles of author on the website and the bbpress forum role is participant.
I want the writers to get similar wp author kinds of rights on the forum but they cannot see, edit and delete others forum topics.

Basically I want the Topics option in the WP dashboard sidebar to be shown for bbpress participants.

I followed few of the existing discussions on the forum with similar requirements but none of them worked for me.

Remove Settings Capability for Editors

Allow members to trash their own topics based on edit time

I would really appreciate it if someone can suggest a solution for my case.

What we wanted was to get users after they have joined/registered on the site, to go the profile page and fill in some/all of the fields in their profile page, perhaps by making the fields required/mandatory so that without completing the required fields they cannot post on the site. Is this far-fetched?

This is the website we are working on and this is the theme we are using.

ok, so bbpress does not have the feature of preventing posting until email confirmation, although this might be by default if your site doesn’t add users until you have confirmed.

In essence if your user is set up with bbpress access, then that is what they get.

one of the plugins above might add that functionality, although I suspect not.

can you list bbpress related plugins please

[Robin W]

ok so bbpress does not ask for profile fields, so it might be your theme doing this

what theme are you using, and what ‘fields’ have you set up, and using which part of your site ?

[drjohndimi]

No. I’m using a bbPress based theme. There’s no BuddyPress on the website.
Thank you.

[drjohndimi]

I have searched online for days and I have not found how to make profile fields mandatory/required by users so that if they don’t complete those fields they cannot use the forum.
I’m sure there are code ninjas out there that have done this in their sleep or just know how to do it, so can you please the code and where to find/replace them?
Thank you so much.

– If I have my way, I’d rather not have yet another plugin installed for this. Thanks.

I deactivate all plugins except for bbpress, test to register but failed still.

set up email to come from my site eg @mysite.com and
contact my host provider (SG) to help – problem still.

I install  https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/  
admin accepted test email.
but problem still too.now I deactivate plugin check-email.

SG help me to set plugin”WP Mail SMTP” .problem still too.

hope can assist me. thanks a lot.

I have this problem too, and it also occurs on another, larger bbPress forum where I am a moderator.

I’ve asked someone who knows PHP to take a look at the code in bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php, but the couldn’t find any problem there.

I’m not sure if they were onto something or not, but they said the bug might originate in an incorrect reference to the database topic/post IDs, similarly to what @nikbond said above.

Robin’s solution above does not seem to work for me either.

[Robin W]

this possibly

bbPress – Moderation Tools

[SirLouen]

Is it possible to apply the post moderation just to certain flagged users?
I see that this is possible by keywords:

Moderation and BlackListing

But cannot find any specific info regarding users.

[Clivesmith]

Sorry I lied, just found I do have a plugin bbpress moderation tools by digital arm

[mattiejas]

I have the same problem on my website also with bbPress 2.6.4 and BuddyPress 5.1.2. @robin-w Thanks for the suggested fix. Unfortunately, inserting your code into my child theme’s functions.php did not fix the problem for me.

[webcreations907]

How about the below?

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content a{
	word-wrap: break-word;
}

[wpa2mik]

Sorry. It was not bbPress. I deactivated “reCaptcha by BestWebSoft” plugin that I have used for many years, and now it seems working.

[wpa2mik]

After recent update to bbPress 2.6.4, I got the same problem.
I’m sure that emails in general work correctly for my website, because emails are sent in all cases except registration. I got notifications that a new user just registered. When a newly registered user click “Lost Passord”, he can receive an email to set a password. Also if I login Word Press as admin and choose Users > Add New, everything is OK.

I’ve read that this problem is related to WP itself, but I think it is also connected with bbPress, because it appeared right after update.

To Robin: please spend some of your time to fix this issue, because new users can’t register.

[Robin W]

yes see no reason not to delete it, bbpress just uses standard WordPress tables (post, postmeta and options) BUT, I would use phpmyadmin and export it first, so you have a backup just in case!

[kasperdalkarl]

I actually found a solution by trying some stuff out.

Go to this file: …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/formatting.php

And at the bottom of that file, add this:

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(
		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'href'     => true,
			'title'    => true,
			'rel'      => true,
			'class'    => true,
			'target'    => true,
		),
		// Quotes
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite'     => true,
		),
		
		// Div
		'div' => array(
			'class'     => true,
		),
		
		// Span
		'span'             => array(
			'class'     => true,
                        'style'     => true,
		),
		
                // Paragraph
		'p'             => array(
			'class'     => true,
                        'style'     => true,
		),

		// Code
		'code'       => array(),
		'pre'        => array(
			'class'  => true,
		),
		// Formatting
		'em'         => array(),
		'strong'     => array(),
		'del'        => array(
			'datetime' => true,
		),
		// Lists
		'ul'         => array(),
		'ol'         => array(
			'start'    => true,
		),
		'li'         => array(),
		// Images
		'img'        => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'src'      => true,
			'border'   => true,
			'alt'      => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'width'    => true,
		),
		// Tables
		'table'      => array(

		),
		'tbody'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'td'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tfoot'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'th'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'thead'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tr'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		)
	);
}

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone knows how to allow users to align text in posts/threads?
Right now it just comes out as raw code text:
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Test test test</p>

I have been trying to mess a bit in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/formatting.php but to no success. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to allow p style and text alignments?

Thank you!

[Robin W]

sorry, I’m not a bbpress author, I just hep out here !! 🙂

[HoCh]

Hey there
Thank you very much for your suggested solution. So far no success on our forum (https://zeitgut-zuerich.ch/forums/thema/nachbarschaftliche-unterstuetzung/). Do I need to do anything else after I changed ./template.php?

I realised meanwhile that the reply form opens where it should (i.e. right under the reply in want to write a reply to) when I click a second time on REPLY which is – obviously – very inconvenient.

I really would need a working forum since we need it for our neighbourhood assistance to coordinate help during the coronavirus lockdown here in Zurich (Switzerland).

[WorldWideWebb]

OK – implemented a fix that seems to be working (time will tell). Hope this helps someone else:

The issue was indeed the redirect that happens when you click the reply links. The fix was to trap the default behavior of those links (using preventDefault so that the link is not followed), so added that to the link output. In the following file on line 1612:

bbpress/includes/replies/template.php

Change the line to this:

$onclick = ' onclick="event.preventDefault(); return addReply.moveForm(\'' . implode( "','", $move_form ) . '\');"';

[packzap]

When making a post with lots of text (let’s say 40+ paragraphs), bbPress throws the post into “pending” status and does not publish it. The user does not see the post after clicking “submit”.

The Admin can discover the unpublished post by going to Dashboard, Replies, find the post flagged with “–Pending” in dark black in the title, hovering the mouse over it, and then clicking “view”.

I don’t understand why I am having so many problems with bbPress with things like this since upgrading to version 2.6.4. Is there some kind of set limit to the amount of text that bbPress allows in a post now?

[Karen Drost]

I just got an email from a user who cannot edit his post. Looking at my settings, I found I had “Disallow editing after” set to 5 minutes. Underneath, it reads:
When this is checked, the setting to “0 minutes” makes it possible to always edit.

So, I entered 0 and hit Save. When I check the setting, it says 5 again. I tried several times, always with the same result (duh!). Any ideas how to fix this?

For now, I have entered a string of 999999999999, but that’s not very elegant, is it now?

I’m on the latest version of both WP and bbPress, using Twenty Sixteen as my theme.
