hey just found this post https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/text-color-and-font/

No, I don’t use WordFence security. I never used any plugins that had anything to do with caching. Do you think I should use some plugin for the caching problem related to logins in bbpress? If so, which one? Would this be better than relying on the webhost? They may say that this is my problem.

Remove NoFollow from BBPress Posts

[Robkk]

Ideally I’d like to see it appear right on the dashboard so when users log in they can see everything. If bbPress can’t do it if anyone knows of a way to do this I’d be happy to hear. thanks!

THis sounds like some custom development. You made need to hire a developer to try to create this for you. I am not sure if it is possible without basically tearing up the whole plugin, and it will be extremely hard to do.

bbPress should work in a private community though. I think there is some plugins that can just disallow access to view any pages unless you are member out there in the WordPress repository though that might be helpful. Doing it this way would be much easier to do too.

I installed BBPRESS Version 2.5.8 pugin (on WP version 4.3.1) and my issue is that headings are doubled, you can see here what happens: http://www.assofootball.it/forums/

The template is “RT Theme 18” and for what I red it is compatible with BBPRESS. I wonder how to solve this issue, do you have any idea?
Thank you very much

Count topics with specific tag

[Robkk]

I think bbPress just uses the code from WordPress since the topic tag clouds code is close to WordPress’s version for regular posts.

You can see the tag cloud on hover displays the number of topics.

I tried searching what it was, but couldn’t really pinpoint the exact function.

Hi, I’ve been researching some tools for creating an intranet within WordPress and one page directed me to bbPress… but the features list doesn’t explain too much so I’d like to ask if anyone knows whether bbPress can be integrated within the backend of my WordPress site. Ideally I’d like to see it appear right on the dashboard so when users log in they can see everything. If bbPress can’t do it if anyone knows of a way to do this I’d be happy to hear. thanks!

[laberkopp]

Thanks casiepa!

I hoped for a solution without coding, but it seems I need to start digging into the fundaments of WP and bbpress.

I will go for the @robin-w solution first, as from the other one I didn’t even get where to put the code and what kleo should be.

So thanks again, I will get back here as soon as I have something to report.

Best wishes,
Sascha

Robkk, that plugin has not been update for a long while.

Its just about a year old. It is an extremely small plugin that uses the bbPress hooks and filters and most of the code is for the options in the plugin. You can contact the plugin developer in the support forum if you have concerns about it.

You can also go with what @tecca said and just do simple template edits. Just make sure you have copied the templates into your child theme.

And you could just not use ads on the forums, there are other places you can put them.

[Tecca]

Does the plugin not work as intended @utahman1971, or you haven’t tried it because it hasn’t been updated for a while? From what I see, it probably hasn’t been updated because bbPress hasn’t changed enough to warrant the plugin being updated (ie, it stills works with the current version).

If that’s not the case and it simply doesn’t work or has some sort of vulnerability, you could always ask which templates to paste your ad codes in. I prefer doing that over adding yet another plugin that might break during upgrades. With ad codes being touched so little, template edits seem appropriate enough for the job.

Hello @robkk,

I am afraid I discovered another problem which I discuss here.
Would you be able to advise me on this? I very much hope so.

[mica123]

Actually,I may be getting somewhere. When I log in as admin, it gets me to the backend, then I type the address mysite.com/forums – then I see that I am not logged in. However, when I type in: mysite.com/forums/community – then I am logged in on that page.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the redirect I have in functions:

function rkk_login_redirect($redirect_to, $request, $user) {
    return (is_array($user->roles) && in_array('administrator', $user->roles)) ? admin_url() : site_url('/forums/');
} 
add_filter('login_redirect', 'rkk_login_redirect', 10, 3);

You can see that discussion I had with @robkk here

I’ll do more testing tomorrow.

[Michael Bryner]

Robkk, that plugin has not been update for a long while. Using old plugins is not a good idea. Too bad they won’t update it and someone else hasn’t made a updated plugin for bbpress and buddypress. I need for both of the plugins and not going to add a old plugin that someone could easy exploit through.

[mica123]

No, I am not in an enterprise environment. I am at home and I am testing the bbpress on the live site. I log in as admin or another user as moderator or another user as participant. It is the same. As it is now close to midnight, I’ll continue testing tomorrow and report back. I wonder if WordPress needs flushing its cache or something – never did it before. Just a thought.

How can I prevent “nofollow” from being added to my internal links on bbPress posts? (I have the latest version of bbPress and WordPress)

The “nofollow” attribute is being added to my internal links on my website (DCJTech.info). However, this issue only occurs on bbPress posts, but not WordPress pages. Here is an example of the problem (bbPress post) – http://dcjtech.info/topic/general-unixoid-topics/

I have tried commenting out the below lines from ./includes/core/filters.php, but without success. I also cleared the cache (server and browser) and waited a minute before checking the page’s source code.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );

I used ‘grep -r -e “follow” ./plugins‘ to find all code that may be inserting “nofollow”, and I also searched my theme and mu-plugins. In addition, I searched my SQL database (via phpMyAdmin) for “follow”. I did not find any plugin, setting, etc. that could be causing this problem. There were no “nofollow” attributes in the posts either. I also searched my plugins for “bbp_rel_nofollow”.

I disabled “External Links” and commented out the previously mentioned bbPress code (and cleared the cache), but the “nofollow” attribute was still on my internal links.

I thoroughly checked the WordPress codex website, forums (like https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/turning-no-follow-links-to-do-follow/ ), etc., but I cannot find a solution or cause.

Hi,

After a considerable number of problems with an old host that required a complete build of my database I have reached the point where I am trying to make things look good on the site.

I am using the Quest theme and as you can hopefully see here the editor box for the forum comments/replies is only 400px in width though the container is 100%. Is there anywhere I can edit this to resize so it is full width? I am looking through all the CSS and it appears that it’s fine on mobile, but on a full-size laptop screen it’s nowhere near as user-friendly as the screen here.

I am using the following:
Theme: Quest
WP: 4.3.1
BBPress: most recent (only installed today)
Buddypress: as above
WP Supercache: as above
Mailchimp by Mailmunch: as above
Antispam by Cleantalk: as above

Any help in figuring out how to edit this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello total noob here. I am having an issue with implementing bbpress forums into WordPress. This is the first time (besides collage 20+ years ago) that I have messed around with websites. So please excuse my ignorance and incorrect terminology.

versions:
Wordpress 3.2.1
bbPress 2.5.8
Theme Tesseract 2
Turnkey WordPress Vmware virtual appliance ip 192.168.1.230

The problem I am having is:

I created a page that would hold my forums called MOUSE (named it mouse to stop confusing myself) so 192.168.1.230/mouse. On that edit page for mouse, I added a row and inside that that row I have 2 virtual editors widgets. Inside one widget, I have the “bbPress Form list”. In the other widget I have added this bit of code. “[bbp-forum-index]”

When I go to 192.168.1.230/mouse I see a page that has the Page Attributes, forums list, and formatted exactly how I want it. Its when I click a forum topic that everything changes. The URL changes to 192.168.1.230/forums/forums/theforumtopic and all formatting has been lost.

Obviously this is not the behavior I want, but I have no idea how to ask to fix it or what is not working. I know I am not able to easily edit the 192.168.1.230/forum. And by edit I mean not able to add rows and widgets or able to change any page attributes. What I would like is when i go to 192.168.1.230/mouse/theforumtopic that it carry’s forward any type of formatting I did for the page /mouse

No idea if that makes any since to you guys. If it does, can you offer any suggestions or something I could look up to fix the issue? I am not sure what the exact problem is so its really hard to search for an answer! lol 🙂

Thanks

Guten Abend laberkopp,

@robin-w

I checked your profile picture and I think I have seen you before 🙂

bbPress profiles are open by default to all, so also users that are not logged in could see your profile. I know Robin has made a quick patch for a previous version (http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-making-profile-pages-private/) but I’m not sure if it’s still valid for the current version.

Some other (untested!) snippets can be found here: http://seventhqueen.com/blog/code-snippets/restrict-guest-users-from-accessing-buddypress-or-bbpress-pages.html

Regards, Pascal.

Dear all,

we are setting up bbpress forums for our internal organisation (about 200 members).
For different reasons the complete forums user profile pages at ../forums/users/<username> shall not be visible to visitors of our page (users that are not logged in).

For example, this page https://ak-asyl-walldorf.de/forums/users/sascha should not be seen at all when you are not logged in. Only when you are logged in with a registered user account you should be able to have access to those pages.

How can I configure this?

Best regards,
Sascha

[mica123]

I am so sorry – I thought I sorted out all problems associated with the installation of bbpress.
Alas, I’ve just come across a very strange issue: I logged in as one of the users with moderator role. The login was fine, it redirected me to the forum after login. Then I looked at one of the forums – still logged in. Then I looked at one of the topics to which I had replied before as the very same user but now there is a message saying: You must be logged in to reply to this topic. And I find to my surprise that I am not logged in.
This is extremely frustrating. I do hope I’ll ge help with this as well.
Thank you.

[Robkk]

Can you assign topic tags in a regular forum?
Can you assign topic tags in a group forum?
Have you tried creating custom roles?
Have you installed a user role editing plugin?
Have you ran any repair tools in Tools > Forums yet, especially the Remap existing users to default forum roles one?

Have you tried most of the basic troubleshooting steps already?

@ailyroot

You mean moving between forums, but on the same bbpress instance/server, right ?

Pascal.

[Robkk]

Do not edit the bbPress plugin or modify any core files!!

Try this custom CSS and just place it in your child themes css file or in a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea {
    border: 1px solid #ccc !important;
}

[tashmash]

Hi Rob

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately I haven’t had any luck. I pasted your css into my child theme in the forms section which didn’t work so then tried it in the plugin section and still no luck. I found an admin.css in the bbpress plugins folder and pasted it there but that didn’t work either. Oh well, I thought this would be an easy fix.
