on you last point, bbpress just uses the WordPress gravatar system, so users can use gravatar to have their image

https://en.gravatar.com/

But there are a number of plugins that allow users to upload avatars, and any plugin that allows this should work with bbpress. Just google ‘wordpress upload avatar’ and you’ll find a wealth of resources.

On you other points, these are related to LMS and Memberpress I suspect, both of which are paid plugins, so suspect you should start there.

It is a bug introduced in a recent upgrade

see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/editor-buttons-missing-since-2-6-8-upgrade/

[dsrt16]

I seelcted that I wanted a toolbar with html controls and the ability to add media to the forum. But when I look at the forum, the user is given a blank textarea to type in a reply, and that is it! No formatting toolbar and no ability to post an attachment or post media.

Is it even possible to allow users to post an attached file? I need them to be able to do this. I am using BBpress as a discussion board for a course I am creating, and it will be useless if they can’t post an attachment.

Contracts

I just downloaded bbPRess so I have the newest version.

Hi there, I am currently using BBPress on my website. My site is an LMS site that uses Memberpress for our membership and for our courses. Currently in my member dashboard area, there is an “edit forum profile” tab and when you click it, it pulls a lot of other strange info other than just the members profile like it pulls our blog titles for some reason. Also, if I am logged in as a different member and click on another user who posted on the forum and it takes me to their profile, their email loads incorrectly (so if my email is test123@gmail.com it shows at the top of their profile as @test123-gmail.com.). Has anyone every experienced this and know what to do? Lastly can users edit their profile picture or is this not possible with just bbpress?
Thank you so much for your help!

See:

Now, the forum in question has 15 topics + 2 stickty topics. Total 17.

That actual page is displaying all 17. Yet it thinks it is displaying 15 and thus has a pagination to page 2. And ofcourse page 2 has nothing to display.

Bug?

USing latest bbPress and all associated plugins

[Robin W]

bbpress does not send a weekly email – is this an associated additional plugin ?

[theyuw]

Curious to know if anyone has a solution for this.

When a user receives a weekly email notification from BBPress, if they are logged out of the site and then click on the link supplied in the email (under “Topics” for example) then it will direct them to the WP Admin dashboard login page rather than the user login page.

It doesn’t look like this link is changeable. Are there any solutions or plugins that might help resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance for the help!

‘spam email blocklist’ is not a bbpress phrase, can you test with just wordpress and bbpress active, and a default theme.

[grilledmedia]

Somehow after someone adds a comment on a forum topic an error message is shown with the text ‘Spam email blocklist’. When refreshing the page, the comment is added.

Screenshot:https://prnt.sc/26d7eye

I’ve done tests:
– add comments to a regular post: success
– Enables standard Twenty.. theme: problem still exist

Wp & BBpress versions:
– Akismet is not active
– No spam filter is active

Versions
Wp Versions: 5.8.2
BBPress: 2.6.9

I can’t share a URL because it’s a non public website. You need a login. Which I can share of you need te have access.

[docmartinhk]

For the above, I’d also used FG drupal to wordpress plugin, maybe mixed up a bit; couple of other plugins too, inc for categories.

I figured might be an issue in this.

Went to bbpress; and chose option to clear the forum.
Then, re-imported.

I got loop on item 16; found others had experienced this with import. So, stopped it; looked at forum.

Initially, forum showing 0 posts, topics; even though posts and topics actually present.
I ran the tool for repairs; seemed the same.
But, went away, returned to site and the forums page has the numbers of topics and replies.

[Robin W]

ok,
so I think you have 2 choices

1. not show your forum page unless logged in. If all your forums will be private, then this is probably a good option.
You can create a forums page (https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ item 3) and then use a restriction plugin such as ‘restrict content’ to make this a login page – see https://usersinsights.com/wordpress-private-page/ and/or https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-private-page/

2. you could use my ‘private groups’ plugin to do this, and still show that these forums exist

Private groups

[Robin W]

looks like it is an additional plugin

bbPress

[Robin W]

by the way you could try having a main forums page and using restrict to prevent access to that

see

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ item 3

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses custom post types and worpdress login, your issue is how restrict content pro is dealing with custom post types. It also looks like you have your forums set as public hence why they appear in the forum list.

The page you get to is a bbpress template, but given that you should not be getting to this page, is probably a red herring.

As restrict content pro is a paid plugin, you first port of call is to them.

You might also wish to look at

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/ which might help you in your set up, but might not – I don’t know what you are trying to do 🙂

[redelefant]

Website: https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org
wordpress version: 5.8.3
bb press version: 2.6.9

I have a WordPress website with Restricted content pro (membership plugin), bbpress and buddy press. There are some forum pages, that are pages with bb press shortcodes and blocked with Restricted content pro and its locked message for logged out users appears(such as https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org/forum/ OR https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org/new-topic/). That is working fine. However, pages generated from the post type such as the archive page https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org/forums/, aren’t blocked and can be accessed (and a list of categories can be seen). Then when a logged OUT user tries to click on a topic to see topic content, it send them to a funny login (not restricted content pro) and then when they click the “log in” button, (whether or not the username and password fields are filled in) in they are redirected to the regular RCP login. That is an extra step. How do I get rid of the middle step?

(not sure if this info is relevant: Under Restrict – buddypress , I set that “Redirect to page” to a page called “locked content”.)

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I am a brand new user of bbpress. Setting up my first forum and I have created a Forum with topics etc and marked them all as Private. Obvioulsy when logged in as an admin I can navigate the forum no problem, so I tried loggin out and doing the same, I though the forum would say something like ‘Pleaase login to access the forum’ or something but it just throws up a 404 error, is this right or am I misunderstanding.

If you have the option for a Private Forum for Logged in users only, should I not be getting a option to login to use the Forum, instead of a 404 error.

Sorry if Iam being dumb!

cheers

BBpress Version 2.6.9
WP Version 5.8.3

[Robin W]

Back end: under Forums it shows the ‘Last Post’ as 3 hours, 30 minutes ago when I just added a test post. However, under ‘Replies’ it shows the correct time in the ‘Created’ column.

Can you test this with a page or post – bbpress is just a custom post type and uses wordpress code for the backend

Hi:

Thanks for creating the importer [and forum].

Just done an import from Drupal 7 forum, to bbpress 2.6.9 on WordPress 5.8.3.

It seems to have worked well.

Just odd that in listings like forums, forum topics, get 0 posts and 0 topics listed; even tho can click through and see the posts and replies.

I’ve tried running the Repair Forums tools [all of them, just in case! – didn’t get any reports from them, in case there should be]. But not helped.

Also added a test post; and sure enough this was counted.
– so I can carry on with the forum, just an oddity to have the Drupal posts/topics not counted.

Currently wpress.drmartinwilliams.com/forums

The message is generated by bbPress as an alert on the WP dashboard. Some explanation here:

https://codex.bbpress.org/features/tools/upgrade-forums/

[creekdweller]

I’m dealing with a website that went through a period of neglect in which it was bombarded with registration spam and spam posts to its bbPress board. Nearly all the spam posts were caught by Akismet, so they aren’t being displayed. We’re installing reCaptcha and possibly other measures to prevent additional registration spam and cut down on spam posts.

The problem is the size of the database. Tens of thousands of spam posts that were caught by Akismet remain in the database, with the vast majority in status “pending” (although they don’t appear in the pending folder). The number is so large that manual deletion is not practical. The tentative plan is to use SQL to remove these posts and their metadata. Likewise, it seems we SQL will be needed to remove a huge number of bogus users and their metadata.

The dashboard has a message saying we need to perform a manual database upgrade due to the size of the forum. We aren’t sure how to proceed: perform these deletions in SQL and then do the upgrade, or do the upgrade first? Presumably the upgrades will proceed faster with a 90% reduction in the size of the database if we do the SQL operations first, but I don’t know if there are other considerations that point the other way. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I found the answer to my problem. The problem is a conflict between Yoast SEO and BBPress

[outkax]

Hello,
I have a problem with the display of the breadcrumbs. On my local bbpress forum they appear well and all works. But on the online version I do not see them appear. It’s the same code and the same settings.

[marcosmodop]

WP version: 5.8.3
bbpress version: 2.6.9
site is in a local environment at the moment.

I’m trying to update the role for the users once they enroll in course. I manage to found an entry point for this with “learndash_update_course_access” once there is an update in the user courses list. This part works. What is giving me troubles is the update of the user bbpress roles.
This is the most raw code I try:

add_action( 'learndash_update_course_access', 'updatebbpressrole', 20, 4 );
function updatebbpressrole ($user_id, $course_id, $course_access_list, $remove) {
	$new_role_forum_role = "bbp_blocked";
	bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, $new_role_forum_role );
}

I try with a pair of custom roles I have, but it also happens with the basics bbpres roles too, so is not related to the new roles.
Also I try with the update in the root of functions.php this works, sort of, because the update is done, but the select dropdown in the user profile in the admin page get stuck in the old one, but in code the selected one is the updated, if I get out and enter again is fixed.
Any idea about why bbp_set_user_role is not working this way ?

[65Erik65]

In my forum the breadcrumbs or whatever they’re called show up with the same text twice.

How can I remove one of them?

(I’m not 100% sure this is a bbPress problem but maybe someone can help me out.)
