‘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.

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.

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

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

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 🙂

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

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
Soon to http://www.drmartinwilliams.com

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

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.)

Example:

Hello there,

When viewing a topic, there is at least 3 or 4 replies, but still bbpress shows that message “This topic is empty.”

ok, that is not the bbpress widget but a shortcode – bbpress has both for login.

what would you like the shortcode to do that is not standard?

[gr19rute]

The problem is known for years. I’ve tried this solution:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2785
But it doesn’t work anymore.
Does anybody knows an actual tested fix?

Hi,

I’m trying to access the bbPress widget settings but WP opens the “new” widget editor when I go to Apperance –> Widgets. I have WordPress 5.8.3 Installed, and newest bbPress.

How can I access these settings show in this image:

In the background there is what I get and in the foreground what I want. It is from a tutorial I’m following.

I want to add the widget to the page with a Shortcode, and links aren’t working if I don’t have access to settings.

you first questions are I think members press related, so need to be referred to them.

bbpress works on topics and replies – it’s logic is that you can’t reply to nothing, so yes you need a topic 🙂

I use wordpress 5.7.1 and bbpress 2.6.9
