I’ve converted my forum from phpBB to bbpress 1 month ago. Since then I have nearly 200 user accounts and not a single topic posted from anyone (there are only 3 postings total submitted by myself).
This appears to be some kind of bot creating accounts (such as viagraman), and the bbpress registration form looks rather easy to automate. Is there any solution to this like a CAPTCHA plugin? If not, its really needed as a standard feature.
Heh. The 2 body tags was something left over from downloading Trent’s template of this forum. I’ve cleaned up the errors now, leaving only one for target=”_blank” and one for having start=”1″ inside the
<ol> tag which comes from bbPress. It is still occurring. I’m trying to see if there is something in common with the places that it’s happening. The odd thing is the links won’t work on a small part of the page, will on others.
I see, and this plugin in instance, where do I set it? either in wordpress or bbpress?
Hello, I’m trying to get working display_name plugin in my forums but after installing the plugin it doesn’t work, it’s still showing “Admin” but in wordpress is showing my “name” correctly.
Another question, maybe related with the previous… Here I see people saying, “put it in your my-plugins folder”, but if bbpress has not plugins or has it? pardon my confunsion :S
Thanks in advance
cool… will stand by… havent dug into writing plugins for bbpress yet… happy to help test if for ya too…
Excuse 
The plugin is available for download here.
Плагин можно загрузить здесь.
yes, that is exactly what I wanted… strange behavior though as I “guessed” thats what the address would be… well, sort of… I left off the trailing slash and get a page error… still not used to bbpress pretty urls wanting that trailing slash that is not normally needed…
thanks!

What version is installed? This problem has come up a couple times before, and I thought it was fixed in the latest .75 version, at least.
If you’re not using .75, I would start there. Here are some forum posts that dealt with the redirect issue before .75 came out:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/531?replies=20#post-3050
Is the plugin viewer different than the “Extend” menu item on this site? That has an RSS feed:
bbPress plugin browser: Recent Plugins
https://bbpress.org/plugins/rss/
Maybe this is different than what you’re asking for.
To see this work go to http://koma-inu.org/bbpress/
Do not log in.
Firefox or Safari have a rss button. An interal site sould get the same results.
This will only work on page you can navigate to. It will not dig.
Does the idea of RSS and private forums make sense? Is there a way to be “logged” in when getting RSS feeds? I don’t use RSS so I don’t know. I do know that none of my users use RSS because I use bbpress on an internal company site. So, I diables rss for the meantime by renaming my rss.php file.
I would love for someone to shed some light on all this.
with css?? must be missing something… verteran with wp… but noob with bbpress…
havent yet figured out how to tell if the link is visited or not visited in bbpress… might be this third glass of wine though…
most definitely understand the comment about work…
thanks…

Greetings! So I recently upgraded to the latest version of BBPress and for whatever reason, Me (KeyMaster) and all my mods are marked as bozos. I was doing some reading and there is supposed to be a checkbox in the admin panel to check wether or not a user is a bozo right? In my admin panel, there is no checkbox, just an area to enter a number and me and my mods are listed as 1. Trying to change it to 0 doesn’t have any effect. Is there a fix for this? Thanks!
As for the centralized wiki, bbPress is going to change so rapid with major upgrades that the developers have opted to stay out of that idea until we are well into more substantial releases.
I will admit that I plan on helping Pro Forum as much as possible because it is a site dedicated to bbPress, but really doesn’t have to be affiliated with bbPress at all. Later on, if it turns out to be a great resource for bbPress users, it will get around on its own. These things take time to play themselves out.
But like I said before, this really isn’t a support issue and is best discussed in the dev lists.

Speaking only as an interested observer with nothing to gain beyond a better piece of GPL software, I can’t see anything wrong with the idea, except that if there’s a link for one site, then egalitarian spirit would dictate that there should be a link to every site that claimed to be supportive; so then there’s a need to create some kind of criteria for worthy sites, then the list has to be maintained, or it’s of little worth, etc. etc.
So, what’s needed therefore, perhaps, is wiki.bbPress.org where such discussion and linkage can naturally live and die without too much administrative overhead.
I’m wondering if maybe somewhere in the extend area of the bbPress site we might be able to add a link to the Pro Forums website (click my name-link thing). While you may think this is only shameless self-promotion, I assure you my intentions are better. I think that, if you are someone who isn’t quite as addicted to the bbPress forums and doesn’t sniff around the plugins area every second for new bits to come out, and doesn’t spend Saturdays looking at bbPress bug reports, it can sometimes be difficult to really keep up on all that is new with bbPress, and thus a little less user-friendly then one could hope for. That’s where Trent and my site comes in. We keep track of all that’s going on in the bbPress galaxy and slim it down so John Doe can keep track. So, I guess in conclusion, I’m wondering if you might be able to add a link to the Pro Forums site (proforums.palmansworld.com) in my efforts to spread the word and get more people involved with bbPress. I won’t be offended if the answer is no, by the way, so don’t worry.
If the format isn’t 100%, bbPress has a tendancy to strip the HTML out of the post. It will automatically hyperlink a URL, but if you try doing a simple a href and it strips it, it might have been a missing ” or something. Let us know, but I have no issues with this unless the formatting is not 100% correct.
Trent
I’m working to setup a new site with WP 2.1 and bbPress 0.75 So far the integration has worked very well and I’ve primarily been tweaking the themes.
Anyway, one weird thing I’ve noticed is if I include a link in a post (std a href=””) and submit it, the href attribute is stripped out completely. All that is left in the post when I edit it again is the link text surrounded by empty a tags (tried to use & lt ; in my post and it got converted to tags – wild)
I plan to dig through the code a bit and see what might be causing this. I’m not using any plugins beyond the standard WP integration on. It’s a fairly stock install.
Wouldn’t that be the allowed tags in WordPress, not bbPress forum though right drmike? 
Trent
It has to be related to this post
Make sure you post your solution when you compare your template versus the default!
Trent
nope..I didnt..Ive uploaded again again bb-post.php … and still nothing… I really dont know whats the deal..Ill back-up my curent theme..and Ill upload the default bbPress theme…to see what happens
I like it! Very nice! I am sure Brad with proforum this!
Trent
Sorry about that as I wasn’t look at the sticky posts, what language are you after? There is some language links in the bbPress Internationalization post as well as maybe search for your language using the search function of the forums!
Trent
First off, it hasn’t even been on hour on a Saturday for a volunteer support forum! So what version of bbPress are you using? Did you recently install and plugins or upgrade your bbPress installation. Do you have a URL that we can take a look at?
Trent
I dug around the bb-includes last night and found where the allowed_tags (or whatever it was called) function was and just added it.
I’m using bbpress as a checklist and wanted the tag to mark off stuff when issues were completed.
del? Didn’t think of that. Well, they’re both in there and Igotta admit XHTML isn’t high on my list for a support forum.
Thanks,
-drmike
edit: Could have sworn we had them on the wp.com forums…
