Hello BBpressers 🙂

Left, center and right align show correctly on my moderator account, but like “<p style=”text-align: left;”>vasen</p>” for the forum “participants”.

Same for adding <h1>HEADER</h1> in the text editor, which the Graphic shows correctly, but when a participant sends the message you just see what you have written.

Example https://pokerifoorumi.org/aihe/testi-ketju/#post-1918 and the next post.

How could I approve a bit of basic html, or at the very least get the graphic side to work properly for the participants?

@mike80222 writes a really good response.

bbpress is used on the support site of WordPress itself – ie it is what almost all the themes and plugins have as their support tool, eg

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenberg/

and

https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

that last one has 23,000 pages of 30 topics so to say wp is not good for forums and that it would clog your server is maybe not accurate.

bbpress is used on 200,000 wordpress sites, including this one.

All plugins and themes have the potential be be unsecure. Indeed as I write this, the Elementor plugin which is installed on almost 9 million sites has a vulnerability which has just been fixed.

If you really want to secure your site then as Mike says, install the Wordfence plugin, it is really worth it. The free version will gets you lots, but if your site is more commercial and not a say a poetry writing forum, then paying $119 for the professional version is well worth it. You get same day protection from issues found by an army of bug hunters.

Hi @rvpodcast,

I’m not a WordPress, bbPress, or security expert — but I’ve been using bbPress for forums on a couple of different sites for almost 5 years now. I’m not aware of any current or recent security issues with bbPress itself. WordPress has had a number of them. I suggest looking at one of the several available “vulnerability” databases WRT this kind of thing. I mostly use Wordfence (and I also use their security plugin on all my WordPress sites).

For what it’s worth, my most active site has about 500 users. So I don’t have any experience with a really high-volume site.

It is definitely important to take some time making this decision, because once you choose your forum software, it’s not going to be easy to switch!

Hope that helps.

Mike

I’ve just spent a lot of time making a great bbPress forum. When I went to ask my WordPress developer for some assistance, he said that bbPress was way too vulnerable to hackers, would clog my server, and that he didn’t want to work on it. He says WP is not good for forums. I do expect the forum to be busy with users but from what I can see, the security and hacker issues seem to be from several years ago. I love the forum I have set up on bbPress but my developer has me spooked. Has bbPress gotten rid of most of those previous issues?

What are you talking about “Admin > SEO > Search Appearance > Content Types (tab) section” – are you talking about Yoast (I find nothing like that) or bbpress (I find nothing like that)..

/Thanks.

Corrected: the photos vanish as soon as I publish the page. However, they are seen in the preview.

And I added the bbpress shortcode, the images, and everything else to a newly created page before doing this. No images when using the bbpress shortcode. Absent the photos bbpress shortcode.

Correction – as soon as I publish the page, the images disappear. But they are visible in preview.

And this was on a new page I created by adding the bbpress shortcode first, then the images and everything else. With bbpress shortcode – no images. Without bbpress shortcode – images.

[user8472]

I run:
Wordpress 6.4.2
bbpress 2.6.9
bbPress WP Tweaks 1.4.4

When I remove the shortcode for the single forum. The images work again.

I setup a clone site and installed bbpress first and did not install AWPCP at all. Now I was getting a 404 error when I clicked edit or move. I tried clicking save on the permalink deal again but no change. For no reason other than to do it, I changed the permalink structure to Post name instead of Custom Structure which was default on my setup. The edit button is now working correctly. No idea if I messed anything else up in the process but everything seems to be working correctly now.

Hello, I use bbpress + body press and I would like icons from their social networks to appear in the user’s profile within the responses.

Hi
When I edit a forum. Set Forum Moderators properity and Click Update button, but bbPress didn’t update forum moderators and didnot show any error. I checked for sure that username (which chosen to set for forum moderators) exist in wordpress user manager. I don’t know why. Pls help me

[electech1313]

I tried a new theme and the troubleshooting tool. No joy. I am going to create a clone site from scratch and make sure I install bbpress first and test the edit feature. I’ll install AWPCP second to see if the same issue happens. I’ll post the results once I’m done. Fortunately the site is for testing anyway. I have some users but I know all of them so it won’t be a big deal. I think I installed AWPCP first initially but I don’t remember for sure.

This will let you do them inline, but no drag/drop.

Inline Image Upload for BBPress

Might be worth asking them if they could add that feature to their pro version

Hi. I get a “There has been a critical error on this website.” error message when responding to a topic on the front-end of our website. All was working well until recently, but now responding to topics stopped working…

Not sure if this is related to using WordPress Version 6.4.1?
I have tried disabling plugins, but the issue persists…

I do not use any theme as I use Oxygen Builder which “disables” any WordPress theme and overwrites them. I have not had any update on Oxygen for a while and bbPress was working fine all this time…

Also, finally, I have disabled and re-enabled the plugin and re-saved all the settings, but again, the issue persists…

I am using PHP 8.2. How can I fix this issue?

[Robin W]

ok, it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, 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.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

[electech1313]

Yes, it’s on bbpress. Example, the user makes a spelling error on the forum and wants to correct it after submitting, the error occurs when clicking edit.

[Robin W]

so presumably this is a bbpress post that the user is editing – yes?

[electech1313]

I recently installed bbpress and AWPCP Classifieds. Whenever a user clicks the edit button to edit their post, it takes them to a page that asks for the Ad email and access key. This page is default with AWPCP and is called -Edit Ad. Inside that page is the shortcode [AWPCPEDITAD]. I disabled the AWPCP plugin to test and the result was when a user clicked the edit button, it then just shows the shortcode text from the -Edit Ad page. I am little more than a beginner when it comes to web development. I have built a few websites but they are all basic and mostly wordpress sites. This is the site address if you would like to look at it. https://meltdowncnc.com/wordpress2/

The site is for testing. Hopefully once it is done, I can put it into service for my club. Thanks if anyone can help.

I have bbPress installed and turned on in the settings. But the forum is not accessible for members in the User Profiles. What did I miss?

[Robin W]

not totally sure that you are spam, so I’ll reply

Hello, some plugin or something with which I can rank the user according to the number of responses or publications that the user finds made.

Hi,
What plugin do you use to drag and drop images directly into posts?
I haven’t found anything worthwhile yet, I just tried GD bbpress Attachments, but the image is not integrated into the post…
Thank’s

[gozazomo]

Sorry I tried to research but I cannot find how to set the FORUM USER ROLE in bbpress.

Can someone help please. Thank you in advance.

[Robin W]

private messaging is not part of bbpress itself. Another plugin (maybe buddypress) is doing this.
