Hi,

I have only one security plugin (ignoring Akismet which I currently have switched off) and that is on the user sign up page – this wasn’t there the first or second time her profile was created. I have stripped the site down to the most basic with just bbpress and buddypress running and built it back up again – first with her as a member and then with her not as a member, one that I created. I have removed her from the site and then added her and attempted to post as her – twice and neither time has anything changed, I can’t post as her and she can’t post as herself. The only thing that is the same about her profile each time it’s created is her email address – but I haven’t placed it on a block list/blacklist anywhere so I can’t understand why she is the only person experiencing this problem. It has reached the point for her where she is (understandably) giving up on the idea of becoming a member of the forums as I can’t seem to find any reason why she is the only person having these issues.

Hey everyone. I thought this forum was to pimp your press but I don’t see a lot of bbpress site links. So I hope I’m doing this right.

I’d be very appreciative if I could get some feedback on the site setup. Thank you!

No sorry, I haven’t modified any bbpress or evolve files.

@bewitchingfiction

make sure to go through the general issues.

Before Posting

Another thing I am thinking is maybe user capability plugins or spam/security plugins that might cause the issue.

@leeleepompom

now you need to take care of all the existing spam users using something like WangGuard or Stop Spammers Spam Prevention.

The links to them both are in @sam-rohn’s reply above

MAJOR noobie with a lot of questions

Then make sure your new registration form from Visual Form Builder Pro is the only registration form you have on your site.

Then activate registration again and see if all that helps with your spam.

pigs commit suicide less often than sheep !

Can’t answer your question, as I’ve not done an import. is the database _posts table moving – bbpress uses custom posts, so this is the one that should be changing.

[Robin W]

ok, suggest you try taking out askimet for bbpress :

you’ll find it in settings>forums with a tick box to take out.

Then post again as her – that will tell you if askimet is involved

I got in contact with @shanhard but basically copied most of my code from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

Hello,

I am having a issue integrating wordpress user to bbPress site.
I have successfully installed bbPress forum to a sub-domain of our site, also successfully integrated wordpress users to bbPress forum by using the wordpress integration option under setting in bbPress admin panel.

But I have one issue at the moment. I can’t access to my admin account. I assume our bbPress forum site is using our wordpress site users, and deleted existing admin user of bbPress forum site.
I can access admin user by using our wordpress admin user name and password, but can’t access to admin panel of bbPress forum site.

Does anyone how could I solve this issue?

Thank you so much!

It is a pity… I am sure it would speed up.

Here is the source link:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-see-forums-tab-in-wordpress-dashboard/

[Robin W]

ok I think you need to strip this down and rebuild

I’d suggest that you create a test site

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

then on the test site

disable all plugins except bbpress AND switch to a default theme such as twentyten

Then if this doesn’t fix, go into

tools forums and reset forums to delete all the data

Then uninstall and reinstall bbpress.

Then prove that this set-up ie a default theme with no other plugins, just bbpress, works by creating topics, and checking the backend shows forum etc.

You should then have a working site

next add you theme back and check again

Then you can add plugins one at a time to find out what is wrong,testing each time that it still works.

If it all re-builds ok, then you can do the same reset and re-install to fix the live site

Lots of work, but until you get to a stripped down working site, you’ll probably not make progress.

[davidnsfw]

Welcome.

When I disable the jetpack plugin, the menus are showing up, but:

Still there is issue with showing up topics.

Yesterday, the menus have been showing up with the jetpack plugin enabled.

When I have installed the plugin (bbpress) a few days ago, the menus has not been showing up, I read that I have to install User Role Editor, I installed it, activated and it worked (since then the menus has been showing up). Until yesterday.

So I do not think there is issue with the jetpack because yesterday they (the menus) have been working with the jetpack plugin enabled.

Maybe there is issue with user role?
I would like to give you access to my dashboard, so you can take a quick look into an issue.

Thnx, bbPress Pencil Unread works fine.

I enabled the “add media” button in bbpress through bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab plugin(by enabling “Fancy editor media upload”), and i can see the button in the forum, however i got error when trying to upload a picture:
“You don’t have permission to attach files to this post.”

the site role is Author while the forum role is Participant.

I can add media if in wordpress, and I can also add media if the user is changed from participant to Keymaster.

the code is in ajax-actions.php, however, if i remove it i got “HTTP error.”

        if ( isset( $_REQUEST['post_id'] ) ) {
                $post_id = $_REQUEST['post_id'];
                if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ) ) {
                        echo wp_json_encode( array(
                                'success' => false,
                                'data'    => array(
                                        'message'  => __( "You don't have permission to attach files to this post." ),
                                        'filename' => $_FILES['async-upload']['name'],
                                )
                        ) );

                        wp_die();
                }

[inventorgeorge]

The topics are just about, Ok, a little small, but the replies are unreadably small. How do I change These parameters so people can read what has been posted?

WP 4.1.1
bbPress 2.5.6
site is chameleon-business-systems.com, theme is Expressions

Thank you for any/all help

[Robkk]

it probably could be done with any unread post plugin but here is two that have that exact kind of feature.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-pencil-unread/

[Robin W]

sorry that feature is not in bbpress.

Hello.
I want to use bbpress for my support forum.
Which way is better to use for increase SEO and rank of main site?
1- use bbpress in a subdomain? (http://support.mysite.com)
2- use bbpress in a folder? (http://mysite.com/support)

If i use bbpress in folder, google think it is for main site or separated site?

[Robin W]

Why does the Codex not have these details available to the user?

Unfortunately good coders tend to be rubbish documenters ! I’m just a user of the software I wrote a fair amount of the codex as I was building my first bbpress forum two years ago, when the codex was open for all to contribute. Unfortunately spammers put pay to that, and now only certain people have access.

but does that not indicate a design flaw within bbPress itself?

The authors had given a way to switch the code off, and a flaw depends on how you define it. Many themes work perfectly well without the need to create a bbpress.php, so putting it in the plugin is a more logical area – maybe? Anyway not my cause to argue, I just use the software !

If I ever get the time, I would be more than willing to write up what each template file does within the codex.

Would be fantastic of you would, send it to me via my website on http://www.rewweb.co.uk and I’ll happily add it to help others, and credit you !

Glad you got fixed in the end !

[Jake Hall]

Hey Rob,

Thanks for that. Why does the Codex not have these details available to the user? I see countless posts on here with people requesting how to do this, and those that help suggest a wide variety of solutions which, in my opinion, aren’t the right way to do it. I guess its the easiest way though, as it avoids the user having to edit 20+ files to remove the breadcrumb, but does that not indicate a design flaw within bbPress itself?

I’ve essentially fixed that flaw within my installation by removing the breadcrumb in all templates, and adding it to the bbPress.php file. One place to edit, one place to remove – instead of twenty!

If I ever get the time, I would be more than willing to write up what each template file does within the codex.

Dear,

I always used SMF on my Joomla website, but now i have a new website build with WordPress and i house bbPress. But i have a problem.

If someone post a new topic or new message, i saw i small icon to let me now that i have a unread message in that topic.

But in bbPress i don’t see it, how can i fix this? My website is http://www.linksquest.nl

[Robin W]

hmmm

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[curvemeister]

Hi again,

Here is an improved version of the SMF to bbPress script. This version supports additional, non-image filetypes, and has more safeguards against inserting attachments multiple times if the script is interrupted and restarted. Since I am not yet savvy in the ways of submitting source code to the forum, I am cutting and pasting, which seems to butcher the syntax horribly…

Many thanks, again, to Stephen.
