They are automatically granted Administrator access to WP backend when they register on bbpress

[EastDevonAlliance]

I deactivated all bbpress related plugins except bbpress itself, and the problem remains. IN the back end I have one topic in one forum, in the front end it says:

“This forum contains 1 topic, and was last updated by East Devon Alliance 4 days, 23 hours ago.

Oh bother! No topics were found here.”

Given the number of other plugins which are essential to my site and cannot be deactivated, I am not sure how to proceed now.

Hi,

Im using a bespoke WordPress theme for my site which ive created myself.

Ive fully customized BBpress & put the theme inside my WP theme too.

So far so good, it looks great & works fine too. But one problem is that the Breadcrumbs at the top of my page throughout the website only display:

Home / Forum / HatWorks Forum

If i then go into the GENERAL DISCUSSION SUB FORUM / TOPIC I get the following:

Home / Forum / General Discussion

Instead i should be getting:

Home / Forum / HatWorks Forum / General Discussion

If i then go to click a topic in general discussion I get:

Home / Forum / Hello all forum members, what do you prefer?

instead of

Home / Forum / HatWorks Forum / General Discussion / Hello all forum members, what do you prefer?

The current code I have written in my functions.php for the breadcrumbs is:

<?php
function the_breadcrumb() {
    global $post;
    $post_type = $post->post_type;
    echo '<ul id="breadcrumbs">';
	if(get_post_type() == 'forum' OR get_post_type() == 'topic' OR get_post_type() == 'reply') {
		
	  echo '<li><a href="';
        echo get_option('home');
        echo '">';
        echo '<i class="ts-awesome-home" style="font-size:14px;letter-spacing: 2px;"></i> Home';
        echo '</a></li><li class="separator"> / </li>';
		echo '<a href="https://hub.driveworks.co.uk/forums/forum/">Forum</a>';
		echo ' &nbsp;/&nbsp; ';
		echo  the_title();

	}

    elseif (!is_home()) {
        echo '<li><a href="';
        echo get_option('home');
        echo '">';
        echo '<i class="ts-awesome-home" style="font-size:14px;letter-spacing: 2px;"></i> Home';
        echo '</a></li><li class="separator"> / </li>';
        if (is_category() || is_single()) {
            echo '<li>';
            the_category(' </li><li class="separator"> / </li><li> ');
            if (is_single()) {
                echo '</li><li class="separator"> / </li><li>';
                the_title();
                echo '</li>';
            }
        } 
		
		elseif (is_page()) {
            if($post->post_parent){
                $anc = get_post_ancestors( $post->ID );
                $title = get_the_title();
                foreach ( $anc as $ancestor ) {
                    $output = '<li><a href="'.get_permalink($ancestor).'" title="'.get_the_title($ancestor).'">'.get_the_title($ancestor).'</a></li> <li class="separator">/</li>'.$output;
                }
                echo $output;
                echo '<span title="'.$title.'"> '.$title.'</span>';
            } else {
                echo '<li><span> '.get_the_title().'</span></li>';
            }
        }
		
    }
   
}

?>

Any anyone help with the child navigation of this please?

Thank you

Hey there,

well, I’m not sure if this is the right subforum, so please feel free to

I am running a site where we have admins, authors and editors (which can review editors’ posts before putting them on-air). So, since now, we protected our WP backend with .htpasswd and .htaccess so no one could register/login without knowing the credentials for this extra anti-brute-foce gate.

Now I decided to stop using phpBB and switching to bbPress for my website, and as it seems, I need to remove the htaccess/htpasswd thingy to open up WP for all users to make it possible for people to register for the forums.

This makes me become concerned about the security of my site because anyone can register then – spammers as well as those brute-forcing id***s.

So, what can you recommend to have a WP website running bbPress while keeping the security level as high as possible?

Using: bbpress 2.5.5 | WP 4.1.1 | SmartMag Theme | http://www.booknerds.de (forum not on-air yet)

@garrett-eclipse

yeah your right it is showing this class on the blog menu item for the bbPress custom post type archives, but i also checked some other cpt archives from jetpacks portfolio cpts and its doing the same thing.

i assume maybe all cpts?? but let me check a little more with some other plugins.

[Garrett Hyder]

Thanks @robkk, I installed Twenty Fifteen and although it’s not visually apparent if you inspect the blog item in the menu you’ll find the ‘current_page_parent’ class on it’s li.
What’s the best course of action for me to take in notifying the bbpress team of the bug?
Appreciated,
Cheers

[Robkk]

this is a known issue and will be resolved in a future release of bbPress.

here is the trac ticket so you can see the progress of the resolution to this issue.

@wpgerd

thanks for posting that i havent really browsed the changes in the new version of bbPress thoroughly , i didnt catch the change to the notifications emails.

im probably going to ping the plugin devs to help out on these notification bug topics.

[Robkk]

create a bbpress.php from your page.php file or single.php and remove any useless information like comments code.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

reply back if you need more help or it doesnt work.

[Robkk]

@helene-n-insdigbord

no problem , i forgot to mention that there is also bbPress related tools for repairing in tools>forums too.

if you need any more help finding something or any other question go ahead and ask.

if its finding something reply back here, something else create a new topic.

[Robkk]

most likely it could be only the bbPress related plugins, go ahead and deactivate the bbPress plugins first then come back and give me your results.

[ab initio]

Simple note to bbPress creators, If you change all background: & background-color: to transparent; It should be compatible with any theme. Also I don’t think it’s a good idea to have minus pixels e.g. -3px; and the search form is miles to big. But keep up the good work as it’s worth it.

[Cotoonline]

Hello! I have installed bbpress to my wordpress site that I host on a private host. Everything seems to have installed fine. So here is the problem. No users, regardless of their role, is able to view the initial topic post. All replies are viewable, just not the original post.

Website: http://main.coto-online.com/forums/

I have tried repairing the forums, and it doesn’t work. I have tried disabling/re-enabling plugins and it doesn’t work. I’m hesitant to uninstall/reinstall the forums as I don’t want to lose the posts members have already made.

Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

[wpgerd]

Hello,

I installed a new bbpress 2.5.5 and noticed, that there is no space between the breadcrumb and the subscription-toggle:

How can I add some space? With CSS or in the code? What’s the better way?
Thanks for help in advance!

Hello Robkk,
thanks for your reply. At first I thought it was WP Better Emails or MailPoet Newsletter. I deaktivate this plugins, but the same.
Now I used a fresh Testinstallation of WP, installed bbpress and the same. If someone subscribe to forum, I got a Mail delivery failed notice.

I try a little search and found in this file \wp-contetnt\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php this code:

// Strip tags from text and setup mail data
$topic_title = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) );
$reply_content = strip_tags( bbp_get_reply_content( $reply_id ) );
$reply_url = bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id );
$blog_name = wp_specialchars_decode( get_option( ‘blogname’ ), ENT_QUOTES );
$do_not_reply = ‘<noreply@’ . ltrim( get_home_url(), ‘^(http|https)://’ ) . ‘>’;

// For plugins to filter messages per reply/topic/user
$message = sprintf( __( ‘%1$s wrote:

// Strip tags from text and setup mail data
$topic_title = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) );
$topic_content = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_content( $topic_id ) );
$topic_url = get_permalink( $topic_id );
$blog_name = wp_specialchars_decode( get_option( ‘blogname’ ), ENT_QUOTES );
$do_not_reply = ‘<noreply@’ . ltrim( get_home_url(), ‘^(http|https)://’ ) . ‘>’;

// For plugins to filter messages per reply/topic/user
$message = sprintf( __( ‘%1$s wrote:

So I think, the email will be generatet of bbpress. How can I prevent this Mail delivery failed notice?

Just tried with default theme of wordpress but nothing
If some one tell me how to remove it from database I will reinstall bbpress but I cand find the tables too.I want to remove bbpress tables for a new fresh Installation But there is nothing about bbpress in my database and the forums with topics are there in site.com/forums

[wpgerd]

Hello,
here you find informations about the two versions of language files: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/german-deutsch-de/
You don’t need a plugin.

I used the DU-version of David Decker. But I think both versions work well. If you want to change something use poedit.

Hi. I have inherited a site using BBpress and there are some issues with new user registration. The forum settings are to give new registered users a Participant role, and my WP default is Subscriber for new users.

However, when somebody new registers for the forum, they are given full Admin access in wordpress. Obviously not something that is desirable.

I’m running the latest versions of both WP and BB. Please advise!

[Robin W]

Most of the filters are held in the templates that are located as follows :

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/search/template.php

There are two typically filters, one on the final function usually within the ‘return’, and one that mimics wordpress’s ‘before’ filters
from the docs

Near the beginning of many functions we find :

// Parse arguments against default values
    $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
        'before'            => '<ul class=&quot;bbp-forums-list&quot;>',
        'after'             => '',
        'link_before'       => '<li class=&quot;bbp-forum&quot;>',
        'link_after'        => '',
        'count_before'      => ' (',
        'count_after'       => ')',
        'count_sep'         => ', ',
        'separator'         => ', ',
        'forum_id'          => '',
        'show_topic_count'  => true,
        'show_reply_count'  => true,
    ), 'list_forums' );
 

This is a common format throughout bbPress, and indeed is similar to a function used throughout wordpress.

It uses a function called bbp_parse_args to create a filter against all the arguments.

The filter created is in the format bbp_before_ followed by X followed by _parse_args The X is the third argument from the bbp_parse_args function – if you look at the code above you’ll see that it is actually
bbp_parse_args ($args, Array(...), 'list_forums' )

so in the last line we see list forums which is the X above . In practice this is the function without the bbp start bit.

so an array filter for bbp_list_forums is bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args
and for say bbp_get_topic_pagination would be
bbp_before_get_topic_pagination_parse_args

[EastDevonAlliance]

It’s a live site with over 80 plugins to provide various bits of functionality – so this is not going to be easy.

I do have a few bbpress-related plugins – which I can easily disable / re-enable without disrupting the main site – is it more like to be these plugins?

Thx. Paul

[Robkk]

i did find this topic that might help

Simple Rating plugin for wordpress – get it working for bbpress?

here is an old versions list of filters (its 2.0)

http://etivite.com/api-hooks/bbpress/triggers/apply_filters/

here is a gist that might be helpful (2011)

gist.github.com/farinspace/1372637

you can manually find topic/replies/forums filters in

by going to through the plugin files in

bbpress>includes>

then choose replies/forums/topics

then go into the template file to find all the filters used

[Robkk]

try using this plugin, use the logout link from this plugin and use a custom login link for the bbPress login shortcode if you want.

[Robkk]

@awpt

bbPress uses the WordPress post tables.

but to reset forum go to tools>forums>reset forums

you should see these sub-menu items under tools

Tools
available tools
import
export
forums

[Robkk]

@yrisse3

It could be a 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.

you can also see if your theme is causing the issue but its probably more of a plugin issue..

Themes

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

[Robkk]

create a bbpress.php file and put it in your child theme , the default file bbPress is using has some extra code for post navigation that should be for blog posts.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

you can also use CSS

#bbpress-forums .navigation-post  {
display:none;
}
