Thank you for your reply. I have “bbpress” folder in MY_THEME folder. I added a functions.php file in that bbpress folder, and inserted your code, and saved. but nothing happened 🙁 Am I doing it right?

[Matoca]

I want to prevent “anyone” writing a topic or reply in the forum from posting any links. Period. I am flummoxed that I can only find one topic on this in bbPress or WP and that topic is almost 5 years old.

I do not require users to register to create topics and make replies and I would like to keep it that way. However, I don’t want to allow anyone to be able to write HTML or post links to “anything” in the forum. If it has to include moderators, even me, that’s fine.

Lately unregistered users have been able to post links to images within their topic or reply that takes users to another website or they are able to post links to image websites in a way that the images are embedded in the reply, without the image being manipulated. One image was so large that all that displayed was an ankle!

I have a plugin in the forum sidebar for users to upload images to a gallery where the images are checked for needing approval. From the dashboard I can edit and size the image and then insert them into the topics and replies. The moderators also know how to do this. This has worked well.

I am leery of links to inappropriate websites and I need to stop this now. Does anyone know how to set bbPress or WP to ban links or is there a plugin that does this?
Thank you, Matoca

@casnbug

ok if you think its just bbPress maybe your bbPress installation had some issues??

try uninstalling the bbPress plugin then re-install it.

[casnbug]

@Robkk
Sorry, but I disagree. It may be that the theme is not hiding the warning like the default wordpress theme, but the error is definitely coming from the bbpress plugin.

If your site is that busy, you really should have a test site

Hi there!

We’re trying to move our forums from a custom Q&A platform to bbPress… very glad there is now an importer! 🙂

So I copied example.php to myimport.php, changed the class name, and updated the tables/columns that apply (the ones that exist in the old database).

And ran the import…

But I keep running into import errors for fields that don’t apply as they don’t exist in the other database, like forums_table.the_reply_count

So for a field that just does not exist in the old database, what’s the proper syntax for “ignore this”? 🙂

For example, this one…

// Forum topic count (Stored in postmeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'forums_table',
			'from_fieldname' => 'the_topic_count',
			'to_type'        => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname'   => '_bbp_topic_count'
		);

I looked for this on the importer codex page, but just don’t see it. 🙂

Thanks!
Dan

I recently moved our bbPress installation from one folder to another. Everything seemed to go well, accept when I loggged in, my admin account lost all admin privileges.

Fortunately, I have another second test bbPress installation and could see what admin status looks like in phpmyadmin.

So, in the first installation, using phpmyadmin, in the metavalue of the wp_usermeta table, I changed:

a:2:{s:10:"subscriber";i:1;s:15:"bbp_participant";b:1;}

to…

a:2:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:13:"bbp_keymaster";b:1;}

It seems to work. My admin account has admin privileges.

Now I understand the administrator and bbp_keymaster in the string, but what about the rest of the characters? For example, I changed s:10 to s:13.

Is this OK?

I’m just not sure what these other characters mean and what they need to be.

Thanks for any help.

[Robkk]

I tried modifying User Roles and Capabilities from functions.bb-capabilities.php, so that all the users can have same capabilities as keymaster

that sounds dangerous, don’t do that

see if this helps, follow all the links on the page too, and see if you set it up correctly.

Forum Networks

[sndstrm]

I already coded a private bbPress Plugin, that extends it to something like Mailman.
It just periodically catches mails to @forum.domain.tld via IMAP and adds a new reply to the topic with the Mail content (quotation skipped).
The notification is tweaked: the Reply-To header is replaced by reply-[topic-id]@forum.domain.tld, so the user can easily reply to the topic. But this is currently done by completely replacing the bbp_notify_topic_subscribers function with my own one (including the original content, just replacing the Reply-To).
All calls to bbp_subscription_mail_headers and bbp_subscription_from_email or bbp_subscription_to_email are just called with $headers or the address itself. As of 1.5.6 the Reply-To is no longer set by bbPress.

Will there be a way to include the topic-id (preferred in header altering) in upcoming releases? Or maybe a solution by bbPress itself to respond to notification Mails?

[xenous]

you can configure the noreply email simply with:

add_filter('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address','my_bbp_no_reply_email');
function no_reply_email(){
    $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com';
    return $email;
}

bbPress uses BCC for sending subscription emails and the noreply email is used as to field. This is for better hardware (cpu and memory) usage as if you were to loop each user subscribed to content it would be troublesome.
you can change that default to email address as well with :

add_filter('bbp_subscription_to_email','my_bbp_subscription_to_email');
function my_bbp_subscription_to_email(){
    $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com'; // any email you want
    return $email;
}

I hope this helps.

Hi all,

Having an issue with bbPress Pagination, unfortunately it seems it has broken. Every single post is dumped onto the same page within actual topics.

It (seems) to be working with categories, as I can do /category/forum/page/2/ and it will tell me there is no content, however, when doing that within a topic it just shows everything.

No pagination links are being drawn at the bottom of the page either.

My pagination-replies.php file is identical to that of which is provided in the templates folder.

I was hoping to put my site live tonight and right at the last hurdle, it doesn’t seem it’s happening. 🙁 I am essentially looking for people to go over the basics to make sure I haven’t missed anything that would cause this to happen, so please.. do help! 😛

edit: so I have just activated the twenty-fourteen theme to see if I had broken it in my theme, and it is exactly the same there too. What have I done? 🙁

edit2: I have resaved permalinks, ran all of the forum tools – still the same.

@nofightnolife

what bbPress version are you using??

[Robkk]

@katootje Robin forgot he already had this type of functionality in one of his other plugins.

bbp additional shortcodes

[Robkk]

@davidnsfw

im using jetpack on my site with bbPress and i dont see a problem.

it could be something else conflicting with both.

[Robkk]

there should be a subscribe option for forums

it should be toward the bbpress breadcrumbs though.

[Robkk]

@matthias70

try not just bbPress specific plugins but also any other WordPress plugins.

you and @jturet seem to have issues of late , so we have to see if its another plugin causing the issue a host setup or whatever else to pinpoint the issue.

if it is bbPress i will contact the Devs.

[Robkk]

@casnbug

its definitely something wrong with the freshness link just cant tell if a code snippet could be affecting the code or what.

you can go through the basic troubleshooting for general issues by following this post

i just installed bbpress and wp seo and i dont seem to have a problem

go through the basic troubleshooting steps for basic issues in this post to try to pinpoint the issue.

leave bbpress and wp seo activated and just deactivate the rest then turn the on one at a time.

Before Posting

[Robkk]

use the bbpress stats widget or shortcode [bbp-stats] in a page

for just all topics it would placing these in a template.

these come the template content-statistics.php which you could copy into child theme into a folder called bbpress and customize.

<?php echo esc_html( $stats['topic_count'] ); ?>

for just replies it would be

<?php echo esc_html( $stats['reply_count'] ); ?>

[Robkk]

i think this would require making a bbpress.php file from a copy of the page.php file and then make sure the sidebar is still there.

if you need help it would be helpful to also contact your theme author about this.

[Robkk]

@matthias70

this should be fixed in latest bbPress unless you are using a plugin that is making the subscriptions have issues.

i don’t now where to insert the code you told and also thanks for your help

alright do you know what FTP is?? or how to upload files through your hosts file manager??

because you would bascially just copy that file from here

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout/

and put it into your child theme (if you have a child theme) and put it into a folder called bbpress.

Then you would have to create categories for every forum you have for it to have this effect like phpbb has.

if you need a better explanation on certain things please just ask and i will try to help you.

Hi Robkk,
stopped all bbpress plugins and cleared the function.php without success.
But I’m not the only one with this problems
