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

[Pascal Casier]

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.

[laberkopp]

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.

[Robkk]

You cannot edit these things like the customizable templates in bbPress.

I guess you can either use filters to customize the text, or create a custom language file.

Here is an example of the

function rkk_custom_admin_link( $links ) {

   $links['reply'] = bbp_get_topic_reply_link( array(
      'reply_text' => __( 'Reply to this Topic',   'bbpress' ),
   ) );

   return $links;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_admin_links', 'rkk_custom_admin_link' );

bbp_topic_admin_links
bbp_reply_admin_links

This post might help too.

Integrating Font Awesome Icons in bbPress

Robin showed me a function that could help modify the admin links displayed.

Here is some example code to customize the admin links.

//change admin links displayed
function change_admin_links ($r) {
$r['links'] = apply_filters( 'rw_reply_admin_links', array(
				'edit'  => bbp_get_reply_edit_link ( $r ),
				'move'  => bbp_get_reply_move_link ( $r )
			), $r['id'] );
return $r['links'] ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_reply_admin_links', 'change_admin_links' ) ;

Subscribe links text I mention a way to customize it here.

Problems overwriting defaults

Favorite links would have a similar function except the filter is probably.

bbp_before_get_topic_favorite_link_parse_args

And the actual text would be

'favorite'  => esc_html__( 'Like',   'bbpress' ),
'favorited' => esc_html__( 'Dislike', 'bbpress' )

[Robkk]

Closing in favor of your other topic.

Change text in bbPress (subscribe, favorite, reply ..)

[nhanco]

I not test with any role yet. But i’m just install bbpress plugin.

[vizcano]

hi @netweb maybe you could help me.

i made a personalized Spanish translation of the es_ES.mo and the es_ES.po to have the more common words used in my country. I followed the instructions here and it worked, i had the Spanish translation with the changed i made but every few days the translations go back to the standard Spanish translation of bbpress. Is there a way to keep my own personalized translation without losing it?
Thanks!

[Robkk]

@mica123

Make sure that a user is actually subscribed so that they receive the subscription emails. Some users get confused and think they get the emails magically sometimes without subscribing to a topic or forum.

Subscriptions

Also install this, because sometimes the emails just do not send as they caught up in spam folders. The functionality in the plugin will most likely get into the bbPress plugin in the future.

[vyasmonarchu]

Yes i did completely remove bbpress and reinstalled it. as on now its just this error that i am getting .

[Robkk]

@vyasmonarchu

Did you successfully remove bbPress?

Also the error is common, its basically some other plugin causing the issue and bbPress just spits out information about it.

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly

[Robkk]

For registration

Wanguard is considered freemium since it has a request limit.

The Advanced no captcha plugin is good to use across your site especially for registration. Wanguard also has a honeypot feature for registration too.

Dealing with Spam

For Post protection

I don’t think Antispam Bee works with bbPress, there is a plugin that is based off it though that works with bbPress (bbPress antispam), but I think it is having issues lately.

Akismet is free for non-profits and has integrated code in bbPress for it to work.

Dealing with Spam

[vyasmonarchu]

I tried deleting and re installing bbpress . I have also deactivated any other bbpress associated plugins . now i am getting this error

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /hermes/bosoraweb137/b2961/ipg.mydomaincom/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3622

It is only visible if i am logged in to the website on the backend . Views are not able to see this . but how to solve it

[Robkk]

Sorry guys was probably tired or something, I should have led you guys to this explaining how to deactivate plugins when you cannot get into the admin panel.

https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F

And @bdsand I should have led you to this for the blank screen, but I am glad you fixed it.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#The_White_Screen_of_Death

As for this issue, bbPress shouldn’t behave like this during deactivation of bbPress.

See if some of the steps from here can help you.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble

I am guessing you guys are both getting the same error notice like this.

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page

• You may also want to see what is the url after you get the permission error, see if there is an extra query in the url like ?restricted or something.
• Check in a different browser to see if you get the same issue.
• Check in a different user with a different user role(make sure you create a test user before deactivating bbPress)

You guys can also test out your themes and plugins in a local test site/test server on your computer to see if you can duplicate the issue there.

Creating a Test Site

[wpman]

Taxonomy:location term:school
I put template taxonomy.location.php in the root of my theme.It works fine in every term page. It can display the first page of the pagination but page 2 gets at 404, page not found.In other words “http://www.domain.com/forums/location/school/&#8221; works but “http://www.domain.com/forums/location/school/page/2&#8221; goes to “page not found”.

Do I need to edit or add script in bbpress/includes/topics/template.php ?

[Robkk]

Both the captcha and the forum search that seems not visible is in Simplepress not bbPress.

Contact Simplepress support if you want to keep using Simplepress instead of bbPress for forums.

I was tracking down a disk full error on my server and I ran across the file bb-config.php
Here is a partial directory listing of my WordPress networked multisite install:

[root@community public_html]# ls -l
total 16162640
-rwxrwxr-x  1 apache   apache 16550170624 Oct  7 17:03 bb-config.php

The top bit of bb-config.php looks to be php code. The bottom bits, revealed with the tail command, are binary.

A config file, or functions file, can’t be 16GB big.

Question:
What is normally stored in this file?
There are a few sites which are using the bbPress system, I don’t want to lose actual student data, but my disk is filling up/full.

Thanks

Hi,

First of all, don’t mix the goals of the plugins. Your initial question is about wp-login, so Wangguard and TML are dealing with that.
If you deviate on Antispam Bee and Akismet, then you more talk about checking what is posted, not the posters.

Wangguard is free and SHOULD remain free for small non-profit organizations. See FAQ (https://www.wangguard.com/faq) WangGuard is free during these first months after our launch around the world. Later it will continue to be free for all users with personal blogs that do not exceed 200€ per month in revenue or 6,000 requests per month.

I did not see a specific support question that indicated that Antispam Bee did not work with bbpress, but I never tested.

Pascal.
