For some reason I get these messages when I try to create a new post in my forum:
ERROR: Invalid author name submitted!
ERROR: Invalid email address submitted!
ERROR: The following problem(s) have been found with your topic:
I get this even when I’m logged in as admin or moderator. Any ideas on what’s going on? It had been working fine. I don’t remember installing any new plugins or changing any settings. Tried this on two different browsers.
Using WordPress 3.6 and bbpress 2.3.2
this is a major missing piece of the bbpress puzzle, restrict specific forum access to a specific user role
best solution i’ve seen so far is here –
Forum visible to specific role
also search through the tags i added to this topic for other solutions
hopefully we will see better access permission control in bbpress someday, but it does not seem to even be on the dev roadmap at this point š

Ive managed to get a full forum migration to complete. After upgrading our server and trying on my local machine (mac laptop) i thought i’d have a try on my local machine at work (iMac with decent processor & ram), and after ~6.5hrs the whole forum had been migrated over.
After speaking with a couple of people it turns out that wp_insert_post has a memory leak, and could be causing the import process to slow down and eventually stall on a large migration. I’m happy for anyone to jump in and clarify whether this may be the case and expand on this.
After the migration I ran all the ‘repair forum’ functions and it assigned all the topics and replies to their correct parents.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
bbpress: 2.3.2
wordpress: 3.6
– – – – – – – – –
what i need:
wordpress has 6 user groups, thats nice, but i nedd 3 additional user groups:
– Forum User A
– Forum User B
– Forum User C
i have 3 Forums (you guess it: “forum A (bananas)”, “forum B (Apples)” and “forum C (Peaches)”.
i create all users and send them their access per mail.
i want to add these users to one of these groups, some to two of these groups and some to all groups. if a user in in group “Forum A” he can only access “forum a (bananas). means that the users can only access the forums i allow them.
is there a way to do this?
Hi Everyone!
For my main forum homepage or the archive i want to display different forums into sections rather than having a list of forums that is the bbpress default.
So this is the code used to display all the forums,
<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum(); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-forum' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
So how would i add some arguments to this to display certain forums from there ID’s?
Also on the main page i want to show 5 recent topics, i believe the loop code is this,
<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
If anyone has managed to use a custom loop using the above code to display 5 recent topics or a custom WP_Query, i’ll be very grateful if you could show some example code.
Kind Regards

Hi,
Your best bet would be to create a custom page template for your WordPress theme where you basically display the header and footer without the sidebar.
Create three custom templates, sidebar, left sidebar and right sidebar, for your default page.php file in your wordpress theme make it so it doesn’t have any sidebars. Then by default bbpress will use this page to display the forum.
Hi,
A couple of reasons why the shortcodes won’t work.
1. Make sure the bbpress plugin is installed an activated.
2. The theme strips out the any use of shortcodes in the write panel.
Have you tried using the shortcodes in the “Text” panel rather than the “Visual” box?

Hi John James,
Thank you for this information. Good to know.
The Codestyling Localization plugin really seems to be very strict. I do not need it necessarily. Anyway, I work better with the poedit.

The warning in Codestyling Localization is too strict. Both bbPress and BuddyPress allow for loading translation files in the core languages location: wp-content/languages and as a result, do not call load_plugin_textdomain but instead load_textdomain with the correct filters.
Does the CS plugin allow you to override their error reporting? I remember that plugin being pretty robust.
On this page http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ they say “To use any of the shortcodes simply insert the desired shortcode into any WordPress page.”
So far I’ve tried these three
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-single-forum id=1]
[bbp-topic-index]
nothing happens except they show up as text. Why?
It was my theme, so if anyone finds this page via a search engine, it probably isn’t to do with bbppress itself, more likely your theme CSS messing it up a bit. Every theme is different so your problem might be different that mine. But don’t go messing round with BBpress, that seems fine, I went though most of the code and Css for it! lol
Currently using bbPress 2.3.2 … Is there a way to just screen and moderate the posts of select users, as opposed to having to screen the posts of every user? There can be hundreds of comments posted daily, and we’re too busy to monitor them all, but would like to monitor the few who are inclined to push the limits of forum decorum.
Currently using bbPress 2.3.2 Forum plugin ( http://batgap.com/forums/ ) … Every time any given thread exceeds 30 plus pages, it starts to malfunction. After writing a post, and hitting ‘Submit,’ instead of refreshing the latest page where the new comment appears, the poster is redirected back to page one. Also happens when clicking on the link to the latest comment, or the links contained in email notifications. Only way back to the latest page, is by actually clicking on the page number.
Is there any fix for this issue? Other than staring a new thread.
Well… after my last post, the conversion got up to around 308,000 and stalled, and it wouldn’t start again. I started it again from scratch and it stalled again at the exact same group, so I figured there was something wrong with that batch of posts. I figured out where it had stalled and sure enough, there was a group of posts in one thread that had a bunch of hex numbers in the post title. So I cleared those out and started the conversion again and left it for the night.
When I got up this morning, it was up to around 471,000…so well past the mark that it had stalled before. So hopefully (majorly crossing my fingers here) it will be done when I get home.
As for the second part of your question about the posts not being with their topic… I think all that is supposed to be rectified once you complete the conversion and run all the clean-up tools that are on the Repair tab (think that’s the name of the tab).

Update: I found some old plugins working in the old bbPress installation:
Avatar-Upload
Allow-Images
bb-attachments
All these Plugins were made for bbPress up to 1.0. Do you have any suggestions for me, how to import these images in the new installation? And which new plugins should I use?
Howdy everyone,
I want to migrate an old bbPress forum 1 to bbPress 2.3.2. I used the importer tool to import the old topics an so on. But I am missing the attachments and the user-avatars. The attachments shortcode is shown, but not the image and no avatar. Can anyone help me please?
Wordpress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.2
Kind regards,

bbPress/WordPress automatically uses Gravatars. It’s built into the discussion settings.
Hi – I have the bbPress “Recent Topics” widget on the homepage of the site that I am working on (http://heattreatforum.flyten.net/). I want the parent forum that the topic was entered in to show up below the topic in this widget. How can I make this happen?
The version of WP I’m working with is 3.6, the bbpress verions is 2.3.2
Any help would be appreciated – thanks!
No there is not, bbPress does not support attachments.
Edit: If the image was part of the original post with using the BBCode [img] then that IS imported as part of the post, if the image was an attachment to the post then it is not imported.
I’d easily go for IP Board or Xenforo before vBulletin. But since we’re using bbPress here and it seems silly to change software solely for private forums, we should probably stick with bbPress suggestions.
I’m sure there’s a way to implement this with some fiddling, but have you considered an alternative? I don’t find that forum software is the best method of communicating with staff members, so for my new project I’m going to use something similar to CollabPress (if not CP itself): https://wordpress.org/plugins/collabpress/
You can also load it on the front end, so your staff members can communicate without going to their WP Dashboard. I find solutions like this to be best, since you can manage all sorts of things and add milestones/accomplishments — which may motivate staff to work harder.
I am having trouble trying to resize my forums table cells widths.
The ātopicsā and āpostsā cells that only contain a number donāt need to be the same width as the āforumā and āfreshnessā cells that contain words and wrap to the next line.
When I look at the table through firebug I just see ā.article th, .article tdā which is part of my sytle.css and not bbpress.
Any ideas how I can make the cells widths change?
Here is an example of 1 forum I am talking about http://lifeafterlondon.com/forums-2/
Many thanks
UPDATE:
I have carried out the following troubleshooting activities:
- Deleted my bbpress child theme (problem did not go away)
- Changed my theme to the default twenty thirteen then twenty twelve but still noticed the same error when i attempt to use the theme customizer.
Wordpress version: 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

Hi, i am getting this error message on my site backend. I have created a custom bbpress child theme. The error is “bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /hermes/bosoraweb132/b1582/ipg.virtualweb/https/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3012”
What is may be wrong?
