you will need to amend a template, so need to be able to edit and ftp files.

If so, then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

change line 46 from

<?php if ( current_user_can( 'moderate', bbp_get_reply_id() ) ) : ?>
to

<?php if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) : ?>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original and only keymasters will see the ip address

[Robin W]

you are assuming that because it doesn’t work for you it doesn’t work for anyone 🙂

It works fine on my test site.

so create a new topic and subscribers to the forum get an email when a new topic is created.

If this is not happening for you, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back

Hi, I would like to hide user’s IP addresses from moderators, but keep them visible for keymasters.
Searching this topic I found solutions to hide the IP addresses for everyone, but not to keep it visible for keymasters.
Any ideas?

Thank you,
Sam

Just found a plugin that does it for BuddyPress but presume it won’t work for BBPress out of the box:

rtMedia Activity URL Preview

[Dale Reardon]

Did anyone figure this out?
Also when an url is posted into a topic or reply I would love BBPress to automatically turn it into a link using the title of the referenced page as the anchor text – I have seen this done with plugins for BuddyPress but not BBPress.

I deactivated the Beaver Builder plugin and it worked :-/ My entire site is built with Beaver Builder and switching is not an option. I wonder if anyone has figured out how to make BB work with bbPress?

[Robin W]

presuming that is what is set in the forums settings, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Hi,
Depending on the setting options, when a response is awaiting moderation it is not visible on the site window, which is normal … despite this, the name of the member who posted the response is already visible, as well as the check-in time, which causes confusion for the user.
It seems that this appeared on the last versions of bbpress.
Any idea for a solution?

[supermip]

Hi..
After i updated bbpress last update.. the users on the site can no longer change password in edit profile .. in the front end

why they click the first box for new password its going fine..
but when they click next box for confirm the password.. it cant right anything. and the dots in box one will be gone..

I have Version 2.6.3

[angrywarrior]

Is there such a thing available?

1.) I’m looking for a way to preload/prefetch when you copy/paste the URLs into the forum posts/thread (by the end-users) so that is preloads that URL into the post/thread/reply (Like on FB and Twitter for example), or the YouTube video etc..

I’ve been seaching but found nothing so far.

2.) Also is there a way to allow users to “pre-view” their post before submitting/publishing their reply/thread?

Thanks…

[Chuckie]

Sorry for rehashing this but i still don’t have a solution.

Here is a web post on my site:

Compact Workbook Schedule – With Student Assistants

I have a section with a code snippet that includes line numbers, colour syntax, and certain lines highlighted.

I would really like to continue having this functionality within bbPress topics since I want to be able to put code samples in there. is there really no way we can do this in bbPress?

[johnnyontheweb]

Hello, thanks for you reply. So you suggest to disable all the plugin and try with bbpress and GD Att. alone.
I’ll try it and let you know.

I queued to an existing topic here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permission-to-attach-image-isnt-working/

It seems there’re others with my problem.

[tkdgns1106]

I tried the paid plugins and tried the bbpress stylepack but it’s hard to make them similar. Is there a good way? Or should I ask for development?

Personally, the bbpress.org forum is amazing.

Hi,

My GD bbPress Attachments plugin gets file uploaded through media library, and MIME Types check is done in WP core. So, MIME control code should work. But, many security plugins also limit MIME types, so it might be related to that.

But, my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/ has MIME Types control alowing you to add new types and limit upload to select types.

Problem is that WordPress checks actual MIME Type for files, so if the extension is not registered with the file’s real MIME Type, it will fail. If you have archive that you connect to text file MIME, it will fail, because WP uses PHP function to read file MIME if possible.

I’d suggest you raise a ticket in bbpress attachments

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/

Done, I hope this will help to find a solution. By now, many thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

I’ve had a quick look, but could spend the rest of Christmas looking in code

I’d suggest you raise a ticket in bbpress attachments

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/

[Robin W]

so are you running an additional plugin such as bbpress gd attachments to get this browse button ?

[wpulike]

We tried to develop a voting plugin to easily add a Like and Dislike button to your website forum topics.
Also, you can add these buttons to activities in BuddyPress and even posts and comments. we designed 15 templates for votes (and still adding new ones monthly). Meanwhile getting votes without a tool to measure it would be meaningless and so, we added a comprehensive Statistics Tools to the plugin so you can observe and generate charts and reports easily. we will appreciate if you check out our efforts and give us feedback. visit WP ULike Pro for more information and details.

[johnnyontheweb]

Thanks, anyway I cannot find anything applying to my case.

First of all, I must exclude the WP capability named “unfiltered_upload”, since I didn’t activate the unfilted uploading feature. In any case, I made tests and this is not affecting the problem I’m facing.

Secondly, I tried editing the bbPress role capabilities (the problem is that the advised tool allows only the modification per user, and not for the entire role type), and I didn’t find anything that applies (there’s nothign related to uploads).
Then I tried to edit WP role capabilites with the help of a plugin, and nothing changes again.

I’m desperate – I start thinking it’s a problem of my Windows hosting.
To exclude some things, let me ask 2 questions:
1. is this a new problem or it arose also in the past?
2. I found the WP capability “upload_files” for the Subscriber role by default. This is strange, anyway, I tried enabling it but nothing changes.

thanks in advance for the help

[jimandms]

Hello all, this is probably a strange request but what the hell, I will give it a shot…

My site is not live yet, it is at https://jimandms.com/ running the latest version of BuddyPress, bbPress and WordPress. I keep them all updated…

Anyway, I have added some posts to the forum. Just general housekeeping stuff mostly. And the complete post shows in my feed on my homepage as well as in the forum. Ideally, I would not want anything to show on the home screen when a forum post is made. I want to keep the two separate to a certain extent.

Or if this cannot be done, then a short blurb about the post with a link to the forum would be acceptable. As it is right now, it shows on the newsfeed as I said and you get a read more on the post and when you click it it shows the whole post.

Anyone have any ideas about how to accomplish this? I checked all of the settings and I didn’t see anything that would help but it is always possible that I missed something.

Thanks for reading!
Jim

[Robin W]

ok so you’ll need to work through what capabilities let this happen

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

Roles and Capabilities

and then amend these for what you want

[renegade1]

Hello,
I’m trying to merge two topics together. I select the topic to merge into, press the submit button, then an empty page opens with the message “A variable mismatch has been detected”.

I’m using
Wordpress 5.3.2
bbPress 2.6.3
on my site http://www.renegadeskutr.cz/forums/forum/srazy-a-akce/

I also tried editing a topic, pinning/unpinning, etc. and these functions work properly.

It seems this is a common issue with many plugins since WordPress 5.0.1. I googled and found many topics with the same issue from other plugins. Apparently “WordPress checks if GET and POST inputs match and, in case of mismatch, it throws the error.”
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-variable-mismatch-has-been-detected-6/page/4/

How can I fix the problem?

[Robin W]

I’m pretty sure this is WordPress not bbpress, so you are looking at WordPress admin vs subscriber rather than bbpress keymaster vs. participant.

You don’t say how you added the capability

eg

https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-additional-file-types-to-be-uploaded-in-wordpress/

anyway I’d suggest you do some tests eg set up a user with

admin and participant
subscriber and keymaster

and see which is preventing upload
