I am creating a bbpress forum hosted on Dreamhost and before launching, I wanted to understand how the email limitations apply to bbpress forum update notifications. So Jon Fergus, it’s the same issue you have/had. Have you gained any insight you can share? With so many bbpress + dreamhost sites, there MUST be an easy way to deal with this. Any help? Anyone?

I have tried importing my two Vbulletin forums into bbPress with varying degress of success and failure, mostly a combination of both.

When I first tried the import, I did get the forum to move over but the main forum would not display. It would instead redirect me to a specific thread. In that thread I could use tags to see topics displayed but that was as far as it went.

I tried to download some of your newer versions but that experience was worse and not better. It would sit at the timer waiting stage and never get any farther.

Thoughts? Prayers?

Hi, I have a multisite setup with a main site and 1 sub-site.

I played around with settings and network activate bbpress before choosing to go with this option: “Sub-Sites of the Network Only” https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/installing-bbpress/multisite/

So i want the forums only to be available on the sub-site, so i deactivated the plugin from the network so i could activate it on a sub-site level. But then I got this error message when trying to reach the admin of that sub-site: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4q73lc5attt23t/activate.jpg?dl=0

Now what should i do to proceed? Are there database tables that should be removed first?

[Vinod Dalvi]

Please go to bbPress settings on the path Settings -> Forums and make sure you have selected the option “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics”.

[Vinod Dalvi]

You can remove ip address from bbPress posts by using the below custom code in the functions.php file of your child theme or in another custom plugin.

function vvd_no_view_ip( $author_ip, $r, $args ){
	return __return_empty_string();	
}
add_filter('bbp_get_author_ip','vvd_no_view_ip', 10, 3 );

I checked the forum first, but apparently not well enough. I found the answer here:

ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?

[sleestak]

I used All In One Migration tool to create a local version of a WordPress site I am working on.

I am using these versions:
WordPress 4.6.6
BuddyPress 2.7.0
bbPress 2.5.10

The forum comes up fine, but when I try to post in my local instance, it is not working. The post does not go to the database, and I don’t see any errors (even in debug mode) using the Enfold theme.

I tried with the Twenty Fourteen theme and I see an error when I submit a post that just says:
“ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that? ”

What does that mean? How can I debug this?

Thanks!

The IP address only shows for users with bbpress role of keymaster !!

so only keymasters ever see this.

Hello,
I am using bbPress 2.5.13
Please see the screenshot I took from another website. I would like to add a rules section like that above the bbPress Reply form on my site. How do I do that?
Thank you

After installing bbPress I discovered to my horror that the IP number of the author appeared in each post. I have now edited the php files on my installation to comment that out (I found three cases). It is crucial that the server NEVER SENDS THIS OUT, since it completely defeats all other privacy measures. Just hiding it on screen is pointless.

The problem is that now I cannot update bbPress since that would restore the security vulnerability, unless there was aa feature added to turn this off in the Settings.

Is this the best place for assistance in converting a Mingle forum to bbPress? I have 9100 forum posts in Mingle since 2011.

The shared Elegant Themes support topic page is not accessible for us as it is members only.

As this functionality works fine with default WordPress 2015 theme so it is not bbPress plugin issue. This seems conflict issue with Divi theme, may be due to not following WordPress standards so please contact the theme author to resolve the issue in the theme.

[Vinod Dalvi]

It doesn’t seem bbPress issue but the Image Upload for BBPress Plugin related so please contact Image Upload for BBPress Plugin author regarding this.

You can contact him here https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/image-upload-for-bbpress

I checked again and again and found that ‘spectator’ role user is not able to view/create/edit any of the forums. Why so?

Spectator user role can only read forums, topics and replies. He can not create or edit anything.

Please get more information about bbPress user roles on this page https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

2nd, does any user role need to be ‘subscribed’ necessarily to be able to view/edit forms?

No

[Vinod Dalvi]

I have tested it with WP 4.8.1, no other plugins than bbPress, Twenty Seventeen Theme but it is working fine for me without any issue.

Please note i am using single site installation and not multisite.

[zopfan]

Can anyone elaborate as to what does ‘No Role for these forums’ mean in BBPress?

Does it mean that the user is given the rights to participate (read, contribute, edit his own forums) in all forums?

[aladinDr]

Hello , in our site when someone subscribe he get auto friendship request from keymaster … and that’s so weird and so bad for security of our site, i asked buddypress supports and their respond that “If it comes from ‘keymaster’, then it make be a bbPress feature – try asking on their support forums.”
so now i asked you if you have any solution for that bug … thanks and best regard

When someone clicks on ‘Forgot Password’ in the bbPress login widget (or reaches the ‘Forgot Password’ page) and there fills his user id/email. That page doesn’t show what happened after the user clicks enter button or ‘Reset My Password’.

I mean shouldn’t he be shown a page like, “Check your inbox, an email has been sent to you” or something like that?
Forgot password doesn’t show anything in result

[bbpressquestion]

Thanks for the response. Sure, the i have both bbpress and buddypress plugin. My bbpress version is 2.5.13. Under my settings, I click on buddypress, buddypress has three tabs, one is components, pages, and options. So i click on pages, under pages, there’re directories and registration, under register, i choose “forum register” page cause that’s a page i created for that, shortcode i entered is [bbp-register], i click view, it brings me right back to homepage. However, all of these happening in browser safari. When i use google chrome and firefox, they both show up correctly. Here’s the URL:

Forum Register

And no i haven’t tested this out by deactivating any of my plugins yet. let me know what u think thanks.

Hi there,

I am currently using the below versions of WordPress and BBPress:
BBPress version 2.5.12
Image Upload for BBPress Plugin version 1.1.14
WP version 4.8.1

My website is myfertilityfocus.com (the forum is for members only).

When I originally installed the ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ plugin, there was an option for setting the dimensions of the image that was being uploaded to a post. Now this seems to have disappeared. If a member wants to post an image, there is no way for them to set the dimensions. Do you know what has happened here? Images are ending up way too big on members’ posts!

[Integrantsvs]

URL: Lhiaa.com
WP version: 4.8.1
bbPress version: 2.5.13
Divi version: 3.0.71
Crossposted from Elegant Themes support:

I did some extensive troubleshooting and narrowed down a conflict with Divi and BBPress were bbpress will not nest comments properly within the Divi theme. I checked all plugins, then checked themes. Nesting works just fine with 2015 theme, but when re-enabling Divi, nesting no longer works. Existing comments that were nested with 2015 remain nested.

Also, with Divi enabled, I receive this error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: addReply is not defined at HTMLAnchorElement.onclick

Hopefully we can find an answer to get this fixed. I know others have asked on both forums with no results for many years…

Thanks for your response. The upcoming version 2.6 seems to solve the issue. I’ve tested it with 2.5.13 yet. Today I’ve tried 2.6-rc-3 and the 404 error is gone.

My testing environment is WP 4.8.1, no other plugins than bbPress, Twenty Seventeen Theme.

I’ve added the following lines to the Theme’s functions.php tp figure it out:

add_filter( '404_template', function() {
  global $wp_query;
  print_r( $wp_query );
  die();
} );

In bbPress 2.5.13 the 404_template filter fires and is_404 is true. In 2.6-rc-3 the filter does not fire.

Would you please do me favor and also check it with 2.5.13 just to be sure?

Thanks,
Peter

After creating new roles they aren’t saved in user profile. In the “Forum Role” select there is “- No role for this forums -“. Though really role seems to be applied. I’ve tried all approaches from this documentation page https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/
The only thing that helped was installing “Members” plugin of Justin Tadlock and double creating roles with same names.
I think this is a bug.

The same problem as described here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/custom-roles-resetting-no-role-for-these-forums/
