This is because you’re actually using an old version of bbPress 2.6. bbPress 2.6-RC3 is published on the WP.org plugin repo (although it’s a bit hard to find with the new design), so WordFence is using those files as the comparison. These are legitimate file changes, and I would recommend updating to 2.6-RC3. Below is the official download link

@jwill207, Without seeing the page you’re trying to change, it’s hard to say what you need to do.

@5unnykum4r, This is a separate issue. Please start a new topic, and provide some extra details. Also, it appears that you’re not using bbPress, so it might be better to post your question here, https://wordpress.org/support/.

@karilistermanyahoocom

The default from email address for bbPress emails is noreply@(url).com. If you’re seeing wordpress@(url).com, it’s either not an email sent by bbPress, or you’re using a plugin that is changing the from address for all emails sent.

To change the bbPress email, you would use the filter bbp_get_do_not_reply_address. For most (if not all) emails sent by your WordPress install, you’d use the wp_mail_from filter.

You may want to try the latest 2.6 release candidate instead.

I’m using 4.8 WordPress version.
I just installed bbPress plugin that error occurs.
Please help me to resolve it.
Thanks.

if you are using the bbpress login widget then this has options for a registration page

Otherwise, bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so just google

‘wordpress custom registration’ and you’ll find tips, tools and plugins that should sort you !!

[John James Jacoby]

Do you know where I can modify the redirect page so that it only shows the 404 page not found message and not a list of my site’s pages

It usually depends on the theme, but 404.php is a good start. It probably has some function or functions that put out a sitemap, but that’s just a guess, and every sitemap type plugin is different.

In addition to bbPress, there are legitimate Membership plugins that are better equipped to handle things like private pages or members-only sections of websites. If you haven’t used any, Restrict Content Pro and Paid Memberships Pro are good ones.

[John James Jacoby]

if there is supposed to be a redirect when someone isn’t logged in

No. When inaccessible pages are requested, a 404 is returned.

I want to prevent non logged-in users from viewing this 404 page because it has a list of all the pages within my website, and I need to keep that accessible only to logged-in users.

I’ve created a Trac ticket to get more development discussion on the idea here:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3118

Hi Kari,

With both the weekend and a major community summit, the past few days have been pretty slow around here.

This is a hard question to answer, because it depends on your forums and how you have them setup as private.

There are also security implications to consider. For example, if your forums are only for logged in users, redirecting to a login page vs. showing a 404 hints to hackers that something exists vs. it not existing, which incentivizes the hunt.

I usually try to recommend that forums use the login widgets, or otherwise have some always-available login form to use instead. That way private forums can still 404 for non-logged-in users, without the redirect hint.

If you do want to redirect anyways, you’ll need a custom plugin to modify the way bbPress works.

Unhook bbp_forum_enforce_private and bbp_forum_enforce_hidden, and write your own equivalent functions to use bbp_redirect() rather than bbp_set_404().

I’ve been successfully running BP and the forum plugin for several years now.
I did not add any new plugins but of course have been installing updates as they come up.
Sometime in the past month I lost the ability to create a new topic on my forum. The forums are not super busy but I post a monthly contest thread so I know it worked fine a month ago.

No error is generated, the page just reloads. I’ve tried clearing my browser cache in Chrome. I tried using Edge. I went to an entirely different computer from which I’ve never access the site and tried from there using IE. Same result.

I’ve switched to default theme 2015 and I am able to post but I can’t go back and edit or update the post. I also can not reply to the post using the 2015 theme. I am attempting to contact the theme creator for support but there is still some issue with the default theme so I’m asking here too.

Another user was able to post a reply finally but I can’t edit my original post. This seems to affect users at random off and on and then resolves itself but I have no idea what is happening.

Is there some place I can see what plugins were last updated so I can try disabling them?

I’m on my own domain, multi site install.
Apache Version 2.2.31
PHP Version 5.4.45
MySQL Version 10.1.22-MariaDB-cll-lve
bbPress 2.5.12-6148
Wordpress 4.8

Disregard. The bbpress search widget is searching the forums so I disabled the normal search bar. This topic can be closed. Thank you!!

[AdventureRidingNZ]

It sounds like you really need to talk to your theme developer rather than BBPress as the issue is with your theme, not BBpress or Topics for Posts.

I’ve used Topics for posts for about 3 years without any theme issues

[John James Jacoby]

In bbPress 2.6, per-forum moderators will work like this:

* Users with the global Moderator role will be able to moderate all forums
* Users assigned as a moderator to a specific forum will act like a moderator in that forum
* This includes private & hidden forums, where the non-moderator (Participant role) user wouldn’t otherwise even be able to see them at all

There are weird situations that could come up, but you’d have to be working backwards in both directions to see them. For example, giving someone the “Blocked” user role, but then trying to make them a moderator in a forum, is weird. In these cases, the block wins.

Hello – Setting up my first BBpress forum and had some basic questions regarding privacy I can’t seem to find answers for in here.

What I’m wanting to do is restrict views on profile specific activity, posts and updates from unregistered users. Basically anyone visiting the site and before unregistering, can view members and Forums – but not be able to click on that member and dig up posts, replies and activity. That’s it. Felt this should be pretty straight forward.

So, do I need a special plugin? Do settings already exist for it? I’ve exhausted my current settings and still not found a solution. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks all.

[Sziban]

Using the bbPress 2.6-alpha since one year without any problem but now the Wordfence alert me differences between the original version of the files and the installed version on my site.
Like this:

Do I need any update or why these alert messages?
Thanks for help!

Hi @atmojones

I too am very interested in this ‘autocomplete tag’ enhancement for bbpress too. I’m new to WordPress, but it sounds like it would be indispensable if you are running a forum and don’t want your Users to make a mess of your tagging system Did you have any luck with finding a solution?

[torpeyisgod]

Hello all,
For some reason, the posting form is not visible on internet explorer.
I am using the current version of wordpress and bbpress
http://www.iron-bru.co.uk
You will need a log on to test this (user is [redacted] and password [redacted])

[Stephen Edgar]

I didnt know there was a multisite plugin for bbpress, ill have to check into that.

Not a plugin, multisite compatibility is built into bbPress, you don’t need any other plugins for multisite compat 🙂

[InTempest]

I just got done watching it, and yeah shes amazing.

I didnt know there was a multisite plugin for bbpress, ill have to check into that.

Though I think my issue is im wanting to share the content, but only site specific and i dont know if there is a way to determine the root for each subsite to tell it to only show what pertains to that groups page

[Stephen Edgar]

As Mika points out sharing content or menus across sites is problematic at best

I think taking a look at a few of the many resources on “memberships plugins” here:
* http://chrislema.com/memberships-plugins/

There’s some good round ups of how these plugins work in restricting access to content…

FWIW, bbPress is 100% multisite compatible, either activated per site, or site wide as a “mu-plugin”, it’s just not for the faint of heart, so if you want to take a stab at using multisite then have at it and see if it can work the way you envisage 🙂

Reference site http://imapiece.com/

Ill start by saying im not a developer and can edit php and code, but I cant write it from scratch…. yet

So ive been moving a guild site over from phpbb into wordpress and am still trying to figure out the best way to handle applicants, I made a post here if anyone had any ideas about that
https://bbpress.org/?post_type=topic&p=181981

So I was looking into how to maybe do a multisite with a single forum handling all the main communication among the community as a whole. I was looking through the forum here and everything that said it cant be done is very old. Is there a way to have shortcodes and custom user fields to work around that? Or maybe iframe?

Here is my thought, ill use car clubs for example

Root Forum

1 category – Car Club –
1-2 forum – public
1-3 forum – recruitment needs

2 category – members only
2-2 forum – New Car Club Applicant
2-3 forum – Car Club Events
2-4 forum – ADMIN

3 categories – (3) Honda – (4) Ford – (5) Mazda
3-2 forum – news rss
3-3 forum – brand specific news

Ok, so lets say on the main site if someone goes there it pulls everything since its the root. But give the car club its own multisite along with any niche sub group. In the custom user groups have shortcodes associated with the different ranks to show them on their member page when they look at the info something like [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] and add more to the root of that ranks permission. That way you dont have to add them per user, but per rank per group.

so in the shortcode for public users they would only have access to 1 and its contents
people in the honda club who are just members would have access to 1, 2(excluding 2-4) and 3, once they get bumped up to admin rank in that group the shortcode to display 2-4 gets added since its connected to rank roles.

In the same breath on the front end of the multisite pages you could just have them display the public forums associated with that niche pulling the data from the forum via [bbp-single-forum id=$id ].

I had a ton of control like this through phpbb using theme styling and domain masking and am trying to find a way to make it work in wordpress but its been a learning curve. I know groups in buddypress have some of this function built in, but it doesn’t seem to be tweak-able between sites. I dont want a guest to see every group in the opt in part of registration off the bat. Would rather have them app on that groups page, members review then they get added and what they see is based on what rank they have in all the groups they are in.

So am i trying to overthink this? Have I missed something that could solve this idea?

Thoughts/Suggestions?

[Mushi]

@robin-w W Thanks for the reply.
I have deactivated all the plugins except bbpress and also switch to twentytwelve default theme but still the same issue.

I also tried to changining “Topics per page” by setting different values but interestingly pagination links after page no 12 don’t work and give 404 error.

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Robin W]

what version of bbpress are you using ?

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve just bumped this topic title and links to bbPress 2.6 Release Candidate 3… 🙂
