Correct. There’s been various other incidences of this too:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-link-redirects-to-front-page

Can’t find any others offhand, but it’s not an isolated matter

@johnhiler

Thanks for the help.

I definitely like the potential of this plugin.

The whole idea is that it helps lower the barrier of user interaction on the forums.

Thanks again.

P.S. – I posted a comment on the developer of the plug-in personal forum site: http://www.ilfilosofo.com/forum/topic/bbpress-login-free-posting-doesnt-work-if-you-are-logged-in

@johnhiler

I just installed the Login Free Posting plug-in on my v1.0.2 bbpress forum and it works without problems if you’re not logged in but it doesn’t work if you are logged in.

If you are not already logged in, it works as expected displaying a “name”, “email”, “website” and “comment” fields for a user to post a comment without having to log in.

However, if you are logged in – it still displays all 4 fields (when it seems like the only field it should really display is the “comment”) and you CANNOT post.

You receive the following error after you click “submit” comment button (when logged in):

Error is “Your attempt to submit this post has failed.”

Sorry for the confusion – I just meant that Akismet is a plugin, so as long as the plugin is activated… it should do a decent job of filtering spam.

I dunno if the Human Test plugin works well with “login free posting”, but it has an option to add a math problem to the topic/post posting form:

@johnhiler

Thanks for the link.

Looks like this doesn’t work with bbPress v1.0.2 per a comment on the plug-in page by a user named “hpguru”.

[johnhiler]

I haven’t tested this, but this plugin was just posted recently:

I know this is old but I needed it to, so here is the answer for anyone else finding this on google:

1) Open bb-includes/functions.bb-meta.php

2) Find this line:

case 'url':

$option = 'uri';

3) After it, add:

case 'uri':

return "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/forum/";

break;

Replace the “/forum/” part with the proper URL to your forums. For example

http://blah.com/bbpress/

would be:

return "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/bbpress/";

So both Alekseo and Kawauso can both log in on the bbPress side and it’s fine, the problem exists only when logged in at WordPress?

[chrishajer]

Don’t put it in the same folder. It doesn’t work well. The subdomain solution is fine.

[alekseo]

I just realized another easy solution (not that pimpin tho, sadly) when viewing the thread where people show off their forums. To install the forum on a subdomain. then it would look like http://forums.hi.com/forum/off-topic.

[alekseo]

Is it possible to install bbPress in the same folder as WordPress or have anyone tried? I have seen alot of people trying to remove the extra /forum url that appears in bbPress. This really seems like the obvious solution and like it’s what it’s coded for initially. I only fear that it’s too easy and straight forward that it won’t work

[alekseo]

Yes. Then it just redirects back to the bbPress core directory. Works fine when i sign in from the forums tho.

I recently installed bbpress by extending buddypress 1.1 with wordpress mu 2.8.4. While everything is ok on the buddypress end, the forum does not have a “Add New Topic” link displayed…. I tried adding topics and posts through the database too, but same result! You can find the link to the forum here – http://smartlearnwebtv.com/iitjee/forums. I’d appreciate any help from you guys.

Note: The forum under the “Groups” category seems to work fine – not sure if this has got anything to do with the problem am facing.

[InvTrdr]

Thanks. I was referring to the links above the powered by bbPress slogan. I want to be able to change the size and color of those links that I put in there. Those links point back to my site. The same problem I am having in the header too. How do I adjust the size and color of the links on the top left corner of the header.php file? I tried making a div in the header but it did not work. Did I do something wrong?

Thank you.

[ZoiX]

Thank you Olaf, but, I was trying with this plugin before and I can’t get a highlighting code, just a white square with the information.

And, another issue, is that if I write the quotes, bbpress (or the plugin?) change for more quotes: I write “as”, and get “”as””, so, I need to write <pre lang=as>code</pre >

[heredia21]

Who has gotten this to work? When i try going into myforums with a cellphone it looks normal. Does not look like a mobile edition.

[pixelgirl]

Hello all,

I’ve upgraded my BP to 1.1, before that I’ve done the deep integration to show the buddybar on bbpress, which worked fine. After the update, it won’t show up anymore. I have been using the plugin “Buddybar in bbpress”, including the settings in my bb-config.php. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Greets,

pixelgirl.

[chrishajer]

Then you might need a plugin like this:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/#post-245

The only problem with that plugin is that it’s old and might not (probably will not) work with 1.0. But that is the approach you want to take. You must approve a topic before it’s visible to the public.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

Just a note here – I did the same thing as dragunoff. The only snag I encountered was that the admin account(s) needed special care, or I was locked out of my blog.

Also, I dumped the nicename data into the display_name field.

[Olaf Lederer]

This one has a few tiny issues but should do the job:

[chrishajer]

There was moderation hold, but it’s a pretty old plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/#post-245

You might also want read-only forums?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/read-only-forums/

That’s an old plugin as well.

I have same issue and have over 25,000 posts, how do I delete all the special characters from the post or is their a way to have them imported through the SQL

[ioni]

You need to check the URL requrested and basing on that use the theme

But i suppose you have WP and bbPress installed

[chrishajer]

I think you could do this with a theme switching plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-theme-switcher/

That particular plugin worked only through 0.9 though.

I think the idea would be to link to the forum using a direct link, specifying the template, or maybe set a cookie depending on where the visitor came from, then choosing the template based on that cookie.

I don’t think you need to modify bbPress at all – you just need to identify where the user comes from (cookie?) and set their template appropriately.

[chrishajer]

It will integrate users with WordPress, if you want that.

It’s easiest to just use the WordPress database – just be sure the table prefix is different for WordPress and bbPress. WordPress uses wp_ by default and bbPress uses bb_ by default. Just be sure they are different, or bbPress will mess up your WordPress installation. Like this:
