So, really, I have a two-part question. First, I’d like to add some new roles. I’ve read and looked all over the place without any real answer. I know what codes to use per the documentation. That said, I’m not sure which file to place them in and that’s the part I can’t find definitive answers on. If someone could direct me which directory and file to add it to that’d be great. I already know not to do it to the BBpress core files.
Also, is there a way to assign specific moderators to specific boards. Say a user is a moderator, but I don’t want them to moderate all boards, just specific boards. Is that possible?
Hello Robkk,
I tried the moderation plugin you suggested but it has not been updated in over 3 years so it does not work for me.
I read here https://codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/ that discussion settings should be applied for bbpress but that also does not work.
For whatever reason anyone can immediately post replies without having to wait for moderation.
Under Settings > Discussion > Before a comment appears – I have the checkbox selected for “Comment must be manually approved” however that does not happen.
Thanks,
Dustin
you should look at how this is working.
The users are sent a link, which goes to a age with a strong password shown as default, but they are not asked to make a note of it, and if they just click reset, then this becomes their password, but then takes then to a login screen which asks for it again.
This is not a bbpress issue, but how you have got wordpress set up.
I registered fine, but I knew what to look for.
have you got ftp?
if so go to your website and look in
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress and you’ll find it there
Thanks a lot for your replies. I wonder why the demand for that feature is quite low. This is the first forum I created and setting up read/write permissions is one of the first things I thought about 😛
Robin you´re great! I will donate for some (some more 🙂 ) Coffee soon when we break through the problem. I could never ever fix that problem on my own since i am a really coding newbie.
Right now I don´t have a test site but I´ll clone the site I work with bbpress and set it up to another URL on saturday.
Thank you Robin, I´m really looking forward to get this fixed.
Cheers
Hi,
Please I need help and it’s kind of urgent. So many people have reported that they are not able to register on the forum because they are not able to successfully set a password. They enter a username and email to register, then a link for generating a password is sent to their email. On clicking the link, they are asked to log in (not set password), which then says password incorrect, and they are prompted to “get password”. Clicking on this brings up a form for entering username and email, and another link is sent to their email, which does the same thing and the cycle continues.
Can someone help me check this out? It’s a big problem for me.
I am using WordPress 4.5.2, bbPress 2.5.9, the website is http://www.maternitynest.com
You can import the Yahoo data using PG Offline.

I have ported this data to BBpress successfully from 4 different Yahoo groups.
Cheers,
Wilson.
Having threaded replies enabled in Settings > forums will currently in this state of bbPress disable a topics reply pagination.
Had high hopes that your fix would fix what I am seeing:
I can see posts perfectly well, but the permalinks for /topics/ /formums/ etc. is returning what looks like Archive/Search result pages – so not anything to do with bbPress.
I have made sure to empty out cache, and I have also tried to re-save the permalink settings – but nothing seems to work.
Any help to fix the issue would be greatly appreciated. Using Genesis Framework and Altitude Pro Theme
@thebrandonallen, that would be great news.
I have a vBulletin project waiting for some details to be available in bbPress for more than one year…
I really would like to integrate the whole ‘ecosystem’ on my site based on WordPress but bbPress is still light years away of what some other (even open source) forum scripts let us do.
Hope 2.6 would be “the” giant leap for bbPress.
Nevermind. I found the issue. This will be fixed in 2.6.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2961
I’m trying to import a phpbb forum with about 50,000 posts into a local dev site.
It continually stalls at “Converting topics (4900-4999)”
I’m trying to follow the instructions here:
Import Troubleshooting
which say to make a copy of the db and drop all records except within the offending range and try the import again to isolate the problematic row.
Should I go into phpbb_topics or phpbb_topics_posted to try and look for the offending problem?
Once I have the right table, do I then delete the first 4899 rows that appear in the db?
I’m using the latest WordPress and have tried both bbpress 2.5.9 and 2.6alpha.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
The result being that there is some data leakage.
Yes 🙂 And I’ve seen this problem before on other platforms.
I’ll be testing out the combination of MemberPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress next week. I’m hopeful that it won’t dePress me if I run into troubles 🙂
It’s important that BuddyPress/bbPress is capable of protecting itself first before resorting to other 3rd-party/premium plugins.
It is important, and bbPress does protect itself, where appropriate. The forums at this link are public forums, which means that anyone can view them, logged in or not. The MemeberPress plugin is restricting these public forums to logged in users. Since it’s a premium plugin, I don’t have access to the code. My guess, since it seems to do it’s job well on the forums, is that it’s not properly applying the same logic to single topics/replies and search. The result being that there is some data leakage.
The issue is for all (and only) the bbpress feeds,
Thanks
The remaining issues will need to be solved via the MemberPress plugin.
Not necessarily. This might work:

I haven’t had the chance to test it yet … but Jared Atchison is the author, so hopefully it should be good to go.

BBpress feeds pubDate gets translated using wordpress laguange file (wp-content/languages/IT-it.mo) if for example I manually delete “jan”,”feb”,”mar” from that file bbpress pubDate it still in english, but this is not the best fix…
Are you running any caching plugins? I cannot reproduce this running bbPress 2.5.9 and the TwentyFifteen theme.
@Robkk: the delete bbp roles plugin run was completed PRIOR to installing BBpress.
@Brandon Allen: No, it actual link to edit a users profile.
I log in as a participant, then I click on the Keymasters avatar that appears in a Topic, then I am taken to the full profile page for the keymaster. Under the avatar are the links: Profile, Topics Started, Replies Created, Favorites, Subscriptions, and EDIT. Click on the edit link and you get access to all of the keymaster info boxes including: Name, Contact Info, About the user, Account (including email and password reset fields), User Role dropdowns, and the Update User button.
Any assistance you can offer on this is greatly appreciated. I am on a very tight deadline and haven’t slept in days trying to sort this, how can I go live with a forum site where any user can simply access (and change) the keymasters profile data by simply clicking on that person’s avatar in a topic.
Let me know if you need any screenshots or other resources.
Thank in advance for any assistance offered.
Kind Regards
Max
I’ve tested this, and cannot see where bbPress is translating the <pubDate>. Feeds use mysql2date() to generate the <pubDate>, and they pass false as the translate parameter. It’s been this way since feeds were introduced. Are you or your client using custom feed templates?
According to this Trac entry, the bbp_before_get_topic_subscribe_link_parse_args function may be delayed until ver 2.7?

I have just completed a full vanilla install on bbpress, including db optimize and runnning delete bbp roles plugin.
Using the delete bbp roles plugin on a fresh installation is probably what caused the issue.
@khunmax I think this might be the edit post/page link. Not an actual link to edit a user’s profile. If this is the case, then it shouldn’t work for any non-admin user, and even then, it won’t take you to a page to edit the profile.
If what I just said is true, this is a theme “issue.” I use quotes because it’s not really an issue with the theme, just a result of how themes are built, and how theme compatibility works in bbPress. It’s probably something we can improve on, but it’s easily fixed with a filter or by editing your theme. Let me know what kind of link, and if it actually works for non-admin users, and we’ll go from there.
