for registration, set up a pages called whatever you wish and use the relevant shortcodes

[bbp-login] – Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
[bbp-lost-pass] – Display the lost password screen.

interesting..it looks ok on my test site, but I can see it doesn’t on yours.

I should state that I am just a bbpress user who helps out here, not the plugin author.

2 choices

1. amend the actual widget file – yes that is said by many to be bad practice, but bbpress does not do frequent releases, and if it is your site and you know what you changed, is probably the quickest and easiest answer

2. clone the widget to your theme’s child functions file. so take the whole function that starts

class BBP_Forums_Widget extends WP_Widget {

Now you’ll need to rename it, so change BBP_Forums_Widget wherever quoted to something unique, and change names/title in these lines

public function __construct() {
		$widget_ops = apply_filters( 'bbp_forums_widget_options', array(
			'classname'                   => 'widget_display_forums',
			'description'                 => esc_html__( 'A list of forums with an option to set the parent.', 'bbpress' ),
			'customize_selective_refresh' => true
		) );

		parent::__construct( false, esc_html__( '(bbPress) Forums List', 'bbpress' ), $widget_ops );
	}

	/**
	 * Register the widget
	 *
	 * @since 2.0.0 bbPress (r3389)
	 */
	public static function register_widget() {
		register_widget( 'BBP_Forums_Widget' );
	}

you can then amend the offending line.

Hi @madflute,

I see you posted your comment 1 year and 4 months ago, but I’m only seeing it now – you should have posted your question on the WP.org forums, which I monitor closely.

There are several things wrong with your comment below.

It seems bbPressNotify is the culprit. I once installed this plugin and modified the message with it. But then when I found out it allows forum to notify only one of the three forums unless I pay for the add-on subscription, I deleted the plugin. Apparently it is still in effect.

bbpnns will not work if it is inactive. When it is deleted, it removes all of the data. If you select one or more role to receive notifications, it will send said notifications from whatever forum to everyone in all of the selected roles. It does not limit notifications to one of the 3 forums. The Private groups add-on makes bbpnns *restrict* sending notifications to recipients who don’t have access to the forum where the message was posted.

I need is:
We have 3 forums
1) Editor forum (hidden from all) – editors subscribed
2) Contributor forum (hidden from public) – contributors and editors subscribed
3) Subscribers forum (public) – all registered users subscribed
Notification from each forum new post/reply

Did I really need bbP Private Groups plugin, and did I really need notification plugin for sending out notifications, or bbP could have done this without plugins?

No, you didn’t need any of that is you’re using subscriptions to control who gets notified. Not sure how you’re hiding (from all, from public) your forums. If you’re doing that via Private Groups plugin, then yes, you needed it. You also don’t need bbpnns unless you want to customize the notification being sent out. If you do use bbpnns, then you can simply set the override subscriptions options in the Topics and Replies tab. You can also use the Dry Run tool (under the support tab) to see how/if it’s working as you expect.

Cheers,
Vinny

In Setting of plugin bbPress Notify (No-Spam) Settings (v2.15.2)

On Topics tab:

bbPress Forums Subscriptions Override Override Subscriptions to Forums.

Enable this option if you want bbPress Notify (No-Spam) to handle bbPress subscriptions to Forums (new topics). The bbPress Setting “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics” must also be enabled for this to work.
Click here to learn more.
Automatically subscribe new users to all forums.

Enabling this option will make it so that users get subscribed to all forums the moment that they’re registered They can unsubscribe from the forums later to stop receiving topic notifications.
Automatically subscribe all forum subscribers to newly created topics.

Enabling this option will pull all of the forum subscribers and automatically subscribe them to the new topic so that they get notifications of new replies as well. They can unsubscribe from the topic later to stop receiving reply notifications.

[ritishsharma]

Alright.
It means that users who already registered on my website doesn’t need to register for bbPress again.

But any other users or users from different wordpress website needs to.

[ritishsharma]

Yes,
I have just one little query.
Do users who already have wordpress account (not specifically on my site only), like WordPress.com users with different website, also need to register first on my bbPress forum?

[Robin W]

ok, this raises a number of questions, but let’s start with

You talk about a sidebar, but I cannot see this in the code sent to the screen. How are you adding the sidebar to your forums page?

I’d suggest that instead of rendering a register form on the sidebar, you have the login widget which has a register link on it, which you can direct to a register page with the register shortcode on it.

[ritishsharma]

I’ve just installed bbPress plugin to create a General discussion page.
The thing is, first users will register themselves by creating an account on the forum page. But how they are supposed to Logout from the page in the mobile version?
I’ve already put a login widget on the sidebar, in which I can see the logout option (in desktop) when users are already logged in. But I can’t see the same on mobile, because most of the users use mobile.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Three weeks ago after completely updating WordPress to 5.6, php to 7.4 and updating all of our plugins, we are experiencing some intermittent yet serious (to those paying for their memberships) login / redirect issues.

website: 1standtenflorida.com
WordPress 5.6.1
PHP version: 7.4.15
bbPress Version 2.6.6
BuddyPress Version 7.1.0
OceanWP theme V

Normally, the user comes to our website at 1standtenflorida.com and they are able to login just fine and view the News pages, Big Board, etc., but when they go to the Forum and try to click on a single topic, it redirects them back to the Login page. However, the Log In page shows them as “You are Logged in as “username” (Logout) (click Remember Me checkbox to stay logged in) and there is not a username and password box.

The problem troubleshooting it is, the errors are cross devices (iPhone, Samsung, laptops, desktops, iPads), cross browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and cross platform (iOS, MacOS, Windows, etc.). I would note that it seems to be more prevalent on mobile devices but then again, that may be because the majority of our visitors are on mobile devices. 🙂

It doesn’t always happen on every topic either and it can happen on different topics with different users.

I’ve had some success working with individual users to log them out from the Dashboard or reset them a new password. We’ve had them to clear their browser cache and cookies, but only in one or two instances has that helped.

We’ve deleted any plugins that we were using to prolong logins as well, just in case they were outdated.

I have not deleted the .htaccess file yet and let it rebuild and was hoping that might not be required. Any suggestions on how to proceed with troubleshooting this will be greatly appreciated!

[Robin W]

couple of questions

1. what is the issue with using a plugin to do this?
2. I presume this is with the ‘anyone can register’ set, rather than a register form?
3. how will the moderator know that a new user has applied?
4. how will the user know they have been approved?

[Robin W]

If you are happy to have a hands on approach to user registrations, then you probably don’t need a membership plugin.

As far as the bbpress part goes

forums set to public are viewable by anyone
forums set to private are viewable only by registered users

so if you set forums to private they will not appear to unregistered users, so only visible once a user has logged in. If you set not to allow anonymous posting (dashboard>settings>forums) , then only registered users will be able to post.

bbpress just uses wordpress users for login and registration with an extra bbpress parameter, so you can just use wordpress to set up users.

If you are going to have manual registration, then you turn off ‘anyone can register’ in wordpress (dashboard>settings>general>membership), and create a form using a form plugin (eg contact form 7) to let users ask to register with whatever fields you want. This will be emailed to whoever you want, who can then decide if they should allow membership.
You can then take payment manually (eg bank transfer) or via say a Paypal link on your site.

The approver would then add the user (2 minutes or less).

As far as wordpress page content then use a plugin that restricts content to registered users such as

Content Control – User Access Restriction Plugin

finally you would use

bbPress Messages

to allow uses to message each other – don’t worry that this plugin has not been updated for a while – it is stable and works

as far as I can see that would meet your requirements list.

I wanted to create a membership site with: Membership by Supsystic and integrate bbPress for the forum part.
But this has been exploited on February 8th, so it’s no longer an option.

We wanted that:
– members can interact with each other
– the forum is only for registered members
– members need approval for registration (they have to pay first)
– some wordpress pages are only for registrated members
– all other wordpress pages are visible for everyone

All of this was achievable with the Members by Supsystic Plugin + the paid extension to limit some pages only for members.

Is there any alternative that works with bbPress? Our forum already uses bbPress and we wanted to keep it that way.

Thank you very much for any help!

This is our actual membership page on our website (idk if you need it): https://nestli-seminare.de/netzwerk/login-bereich/

Thanks!

Nicklas

[uksentinel]

I know, but we have to work with what we have – and I am not an expert 😉

To save time, try registering at my site and if the profile works how you are happy to accept, then I can detail how I got mine to work, I can delete your account afterwards if you prefer ?

The front end is all good, there are registered users and it can be accessed, the problem is in the backend

[kerozen]

here is the link to the forum https://cavamaman.com/confessionnal/
i can’t click Register and lost password!
I have created the pages for registering and lost password and linked em to the widget but the words Register and lost password arent clickable. why?

[Robin W]

the IP number is only shown to moderators and keymasters to help them identify spam or users who might be registering multiple times

Participants do not see the IP number

bbpress forum utility pack has in it

\bbp-jp-utility\templates\form-custom-signup.php

which is a replacement for form-user-register, and takes over, so your version is not used.

you should ask the author about modifying this template, he may have a hook you can use, but if you do end up modifying the plugin template, you will need to repeat this everytime that plugin is updated.

[smith512]

<?php

/**
 * User Registration Form

 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

?>

			<?php bbp_user_register_fields(); ?>

		</div>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_register_fields' ); ?>

	</fieldset>
</form>

is this okay?

[Robin W]

can you post the entire user-register.php file here please

[smith512]

Yes, that is there.

Why my form-user-register.php is not update?

Also, I tried to directly add code to form-user-register.php in bbpress (not child theme’s bbpress), the result was not changed.

[Robin W]

ok, so that file should be :

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-user-register.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

[smith512]

Yes. I copied bbpress’s template to my child theme, and not I put my original template but I add codes to bbpress’s templates.

For example,
before “form-user-register.php”
<input type="text" name="user_login" value="<?php bbp_sanitize_val( 'user_login' ); ?>" size="20" id="user_login" maxlength="100" autocomplete="off" />

after “form-user-register.php”
<input type="text" name="user_login" value="<?php bbp_sanitize_val( 'user_login' ); ?>" size="20" id="user_login" maxlength="100" autocomplete="off" placeholder="half-width characters" />

[uksentinel]

Ok, So using BBPRESS and I have hit an issue when I use the BBP STYLE PACK shortcode [bsp-profile] to allow registered users to edit their profiles, the shortcode does not work.

I believe it is because I have installed WordPress in a directory called /WP,

So [bsp-profile] creates the hyperlink https://uktechhub.com/wp/forums/users/xxxxx

but profiles are located at https://uktechhub.com/forums/users/xxxx/

Is there any way to change how the shortcode [bsp-profile] points to the profiles without the /wp attribute added ?

Thanks

[smith512]

I want to write message for text filed in register page, so I add placefolder to input factor of “form-user-register.php” in my child theme. However, the messages in register page is not appeared. I also saw the verification of Google Chrome developer tool, the code was not update.

On the other hand, I add placefolder to input factor of “form-search.php”, a message is shown.

Therefore, I wondered that only “form-user-register.php” is not update.

This is register page of my website.

[cristilupchian]

Hi guys, so the login, register, and lost password are redirecting to the default WordPress login page.
Is there a way to have them redirected to a custom page where I am adding my own custom login, register, lost password form?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions 🙂
