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.

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!

URL: Lhiaa.com
WP version: 4.8.1
bbPress version: 2.5.13
Divi version: 3.0.71

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/

I have tested it on my test site using bbPress Version 2.6-rc-3 but i couldn’t reproduce the issue.

The 404_template filter doesn’t get fired for me and is_404 function also returns false as shown here https://imgur.com/a/xmfiM

Could you please describe a bit more in detail how to reproduce it?

[Vinod Dalvi]

I can’t confirm the issue on my test site using bbPress Version 2.6-rc-3

Could you please share the screenshot of the issue or describe a bit more in detail how to reproduce it?

[Vinod Dalvi]

@zopfan This is old topic so let’s resolve your issue in your following topic.

‘Forums Search’ returning wrong results

[Vinod Dalvi]

I have tested it on my test site and it’s working fine for me using latest version of bbPress plugin.

Please make sure you are using latest version of bbPress plugin.

This can be your theme issue on your site so to confirm it just temporary use any default WordPress theme like Twenty Seventeen theme. If everything works fine then it’s your theme issue.

Also this can be due to plugin conflict on your site so please try temporary deactivating all plugins except Unyson plugin and see whether everything works fine and then enable the plugins one by one to see which plugin is conflicting if any.

Could you please share me your site URL where it’s happening so that i can troubleshoot it?

[Vinod Dalvi]
