I have what I hope is a simple question. I would like to create a tool bar (wp_admin_bar) that is effectively just like the one on this website: it sits under the website header and includes, in particular, the Anonymous ‘profile’ on the right-hand side before a user is logged in.

I can create an Admin Bar that shows a profile when a user has logged in, but I cannot work out how to include the Anonymous ‘profile’, with its drop-down ‘Register/Lost Password/Log In’ menu.

If there are explicit instructions somewhere on how to achieve this apparently common arrangement, just point me there. If that includes how to add the ‘Create New Topic’ option when a user is logged in, that’d be even better.

I am working with WordPress 5.4.1 and bbPress 2.6.4.

Hello there,

I am stucked with this issue since some days : i am using the default bbpress connection widget (bpress version : 2.6.4) , but i am not satisfied by it behaviors such as redirect to wordpress admin login, the fact that the link on registration mail, bring the user again to wordpress back end, and also that email sender adress is the wordpress email (not mine !!) .. i had tried to change this last issue with this code in my functions.php :

 add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'your_email' );
function your_email( $original_email_address )
{
	return 'myemail@domain.com';
}

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_wp_mail_from_name' );
function custom_wp_mail_from_name( $original_email_from )
{
	return 'My Forum Name';
}

But instead i just received a “mail delivery failed”

I have tried other plugins such as “weaver” or “bbPress login register link..” but still not found the “good one” (or surely didn’t know how to optimize it)

Did someone know how to solve this problem ??

Hi,

On our website, each topic is a specific question created by a user. When replying to the topics, the topic starters will get a notification. When there’s a final answer to the question, we would like to edit the original post and add the answer to it, so everything will be together in the first post. For this edit, the topic starter doesn’t get a notification.

Is it possible topic starters will get notifications as soon as their original post gets edited?
It is no problem if this means that notifications will be sent also when replies are edited for example.

If more info is necessary, let me know. I can’t share our website because it’s not for unregistered users.

Thanks in advance!

I have a few minor problems on my forum that would be nice to iron out, but they aren’t stopping it from working. I am using the BBP Style pack plus a few other plugins.

The forum is at https://signalbox.org/the-blower/ (we call it “The Blower”) and it covers a rather esoteric subject but you may wish to look at it to understand what I am saying.

1. Freshness display: This is re-named “Latest Activity” on my site. It isn’t giving me the result I expected. It is showing the date and name of the latest post in the thread

started the most recently

, not the most recent post

in any thread

. You can see this by looking in the “British Signalling” forum, which orders things correctly. I have looked through the settings several times but have I missed something obvious here?
It is possible, of course, that new posts since I wrote this make this more difficult to see!

2. I am also having problems with the display of pinned and locked topics – see in “About this web site”. They do not fill the width of the display. I have locked/unlocked, pinned/unpinned and deleted/re-written several times and tried removing the symbols but this persists. Again, I may have missed something in the myriad of settings.

Neither of the above change if you are logged in or not, so you don’t need to register to see what I am describing.

Any help appreciated!

John

wordpress version: Version 5.4.1
bbPress version: Version 2.6.4
site: riptideio.com
theme: Salient with custom child theme

On our site, we have a “Partner Portal” page which is a restricted access page. Users are “subscribers” and they need to login to view the page contents. They do not register, they fill out a request for access form and we selectively hand out the credentials. We are looking to put a forum page nested on this Partner Portal (on the Partner Portal page, there would be a button that says “Forum” that would take them to a forum page). We only want this same group of users who have access to the Partner Portal to have access to the forum, and they can easily navigate to it once logged into the Partner Portal.

Is this possible? And would users need to re-login to the forum page when they navigate to it from the Partner Portal? Would we need to have a sidebar on the forum page with login widget?

Any help or comments about how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did the update today and now freshness is not correct. I run the tools and it does correct….until the next post reply and then it stays at the last fix point.

You have to register to access the forum. Once registered click “community at the top”.

I have google capcha “not a robot”
unregistered user can’t post
looks like a bug in bbpress since no plugin are active for user…

[Robin W]

so is the spammer showing as an actual user ? ie is in

dashboard>users

it looks like new users can simply register and then post?

[Robin W]

make forums private to make them visible to users only

use shortcode

[bbp-register]

or anything in WordPress that does registration – bbpress just uses WordPress registration

[tonyswan20]

I have a website and I’d like to add registration form. Also some contents have to be available only for registered users. Are any ways there how can I do that?

[monopohl]

Uhm well regarding your hint I found this

Register on Multisite

Seems somewhat odd to me. bbpress claims to be from the developers of WordPress and to be multisite compatible but so far it seems not to be possible to use the registration properly without creating a custom wp-signup.php or using a third party plugin?

Did I get that right?

[thanhpham123]

Hello everyone,,
I admit I am a “newbie” and am having a bundle of problems. I am in the process of building a website which is still offline, and am very stuck. I am using ocean wp and I don’t know how to find out the version, but everything is new in the last 2 weeks.. sorry I really am a newbie…
I am making “TheAmericanQuarterHorse.com” and wanted to make a small forum page alongside of information pages, I had to do a whole pile of deleting and rebuilding on the forum site, but now I have the basic structure!! So that is a plus, but am stuck on the login–register-lost password widget. The first time I made it, it put the menu all over the place and the login was on every page. Iwas using bbpress tweaks, so uninstalled the bbpress tweaks, and ended up re-installing. I watched a whole pile of youtube on how to do it, and went back at it. I did all the “making the page” and putting the permalinks in the widget slot in the bbpress side bar. This time I had logins on every page BUT THE FORUM PAGE!!! This is the 3rd time I have deleted everything and started over.. I am about to forget the whole thing or use a different forum widget. I am STUCK. Any ideas??
The other thing is the text is sooo thin and tiny on the forum page it is hard to see. I have heard something about css, but have no clue about what that is or how to use it..
Would really appreciate any ideas..
thanks

I want to list all forums on a page, regardless if it’s hidden.

The user will be asked to register or login when clicking on the hidden forum.

Is this possible at all?

Thanks in advance

[Chuckie]

Ok, it seems that in BBPress my register page does not allow for you to specify the nickname:

Register

My BBPress Edit profile page allows you to edit your nickname though.

I see No where in general to specify what to display, apart from editing my profile in WordPress backend.

That said, I realise my username is displayed here as it is the @ text.

I am reluctant to show usernames you see. According to my security logs I have so many attempts to hack into my site my username.

[deborahdavidson]

One or two subscribers are not receiving email notifications despite having subscribed to the Forum. I’ve checked on the Forum and you can see that they have subscribed but looking at the mail logs, their email addresses aren’t on it. Has this happened to anyone else? Would be really grateful for your help. Latest WordPress & BBpress being used. Does it take some time for notifications to be sent after a member has registered? I’ve sent a test email through BB Style and they’ve received it but nothing is coming through from the Forum. Many thanks.

[wedebrick]

Hi there,

sorry if this is the wrong subforum. We are creating a forum for our members which are already registered on our WordPress site. And I’m currently testing the forum. Now I have the following problem.

Two things are very important:
1) the members/users should be able to create threads and write answers in threads without confirmation from the moderator
2) the forum may not be seen public

What is the solution for this? When I put everything in private mode the threads (opened by my test account) need confirmation from the moderator to open.
And when I put everything in public mode, other users (who are not registered with us) are able to see the forum when they know the URL. They are not able to create new threads or answer but they can see everything. It should, however, be private.

Also another thing: is there a way to deactivate the option to read the profiles of users? We want to keep privacy as high as possible so this would be of great help.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I tried to create a small community forum on our webpage, however I am facing some issues.

I am running WordPress 5.4 and installed the most current version of bbpress through the plugins section, activated it network wide, created a forum, creted a post, all working well.

Then I thought I need a way for the users to register and after some googling, I found out that I have to create a page that contains the [bbp-register], which I did. When I visit that page it shows the registration form. I enter a username and Email and when I submit, the site refreshes to wp-signup.php which shows another registration form asking for the same information. When I enter the data there again, registration is working, but that is not how it is supposed to be, right?

Kind regards,
Thomas

[kjoswald79]

Hello!

I have a bbPress forum on my website. http://www.fullspectrumasd.org. I tested the registration system and was able to create a test user, but others who are trying to register are not receiving the automated registration email from WordPress. I have people waiting to use the forum who are not able to create a password. How can I get them registered?

Thanks,
Katie

this

Function reference

suggests

pll_register_string($name, $string, $group, $multiline);
‘$name’ => (required) name provided for sorting convenience (ex: ‘myplugin’)
‘$string’ => (required) the string to translate
‘$group’ => (optional) the group in which the string is registered, defaults to ‘polylang’
‘$multiline’ => (optional) if set to true, the translation text field will be multiline, defaults to false

so maybe

pll_register_string( 'slug_users', '_bbp_user_slug', 'polylang' );

[Kenny Lajara]

I tried changing the hook and nothing happened. This is my code now:

/* Translate Users profile slug with Polylang */
add_action( 'plugins_loaded','bbp_polylang_integration' );
function bbp_polylang_integration() {
	if ( function_exists( 'pll_register_string' ) ) {
		pll_register_string( 'slug_users', '_bbp_user_slug', 'URL slugs' );
	}
} 

About this:

so is the context right – maybe ‘Polylang’ which seems to be the default?

I don’t really understand what you mean.

[justephen]

Hi, I think I am over my head with forum/registration. Any user other than myself has to first register in order to make comments on the forum. When, they click “register”, there is no page set up for it.

So, I believe I am a few steps away.

1. Need to set up registration page.
2. One they fill in the registration page, it needs to communicate that to the forum.
3. Once that is communicated to the forum, they new user needs to be able make comments.

If anyone takes my issue on, it may be more of a commitment than you would want.

Thank you very very much,

Justephen

[Kenny Lajara]

Hi, I have WP WordPress 5.4 with bbPress 2.8.3.1 and Polylang Pro 2.7 installed.

All the forums, topics, replies, everything are correctly translated, except the user profile.

I even attempted to manually register the slug but didn’t work.

The code I used to try to register the slug was:

/* Translate Users profile slug with Polylang */
add_action( 'after_setup_theme','bbp_polylang_integration' );
function bbp_polylang_integration() {
	if ( function_exists( 'pll_register_string' ) ) {
		pll_register_string( 'slug_users', '_bbp_user_slug', 'URL slugs' );
	}
}

I tried with _bbp_user_slug and with users as well.

[Robin W]

you set up a page called say register_page and put this code into the content

[bbp-register]
