Hi

It’s not a big deal but, I am just curious why I am getting new registered members with usernames that are random letters.

[webmasterfreya]

WP 5.3.2
BBpress 2.6.4
Buddypress 5.1.2 (with private forums)

Hi,

When entering a registered user name via [bbp-search], messages from this user are shown eventhough they are in a private forum and the requesting user is NOT a member of that group.
This clearly violates the privacy and should not be happening.

I have removed all occurences of [bbp-search] , and with that lost the ability to search through the forums.

To test
– create 2 users (eg user-1, user-2)
– Make user-1 member of a private forum (forum-1) and create a topic and some replies.
– Make user-2 member of anothher private forum (forum-2) and create a topic and some replies.

– create a testpage with content [bbp-search], publish
– login with user-1
– got to testpage and search for user_2

No messages should show up, but i’m afraid they will.

Could anyone please try and get back here to share the result?

Hi there,

I’m building a website with Elementor Pro and bbPress.
I created 2 different Headers: a main one for the Landing page and blog, and another one for the forums.
I used the shortcode to display the forums index on a page I’ve built with Elementor and the Header works fine. But when it comes to the automatically created single pages (topic, reply, search, etc.), it displays the main Header.

I contacted Elementor support, not knowing if the issue was on their side or on yours, and they told me I had to contact you, explaining me this :
“For your information, we usually find this happening when creating custom post types where it is excluded from showing in menus via the custom post type’s “show_in_nav_menus” option; this option is found in the post type’s “register_post_type” function used to add it in WordPress and may be set to “false” in this case […] we highly recommend contacting the bbPress support team to help with changing this option to “true”. The solution we suspect would be similar to using the function code mentioned in this bbPress support post but with the ‘show_in_nav_menus’ variable set to ‘true’ > https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-snippet-hack-to-include-bbpress-topics-in-wordpress-search/ ”

So, here I am! Can someone help me, please?

Thank you!

I found this code and can now show five popular entries on my frontpage 🙂
// Top five of bbpress on startpage
function rk_top_five_view() {
bbp_register_view( ‘top-five’, __( ‘5 Most Popular Topics’ ), array(
‘meta_key’ => ‘_bbp_reply_count’,
‘posts_per_page’ => ‘5’ ,
‘ max_num_pages’ => ‘1’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’ ),
false );
}

add_action( ‘bbp_register_views’, ‘rk_top_five_view’ );

Thanks
Matthias

The best solution is to clone this widget and then amend.

so put this in your functions.php

It creates a duplicate login widget, but you’ll find it in dashboard>appearance>widgets called
(mat) login Widget. You can then add your code to this version

function register_mat_login_widget() {
    register_widget("MAT_Login_Widget");

}

add_action('widgets_init', 'register_mat_login_widget');

class MAT_Login_Widget extends WP_Widget {

	/**
	 * MAT Login Widget amended
	 *
	 */
	public function __construct() {
		$widget_ops = apply_filters( 'mat_login_widget_options', array(
			'classname'                   => 'mat_widget_login',
			'description'                 => esc_html__( 'A simple login form with optional links to sign-up and lost password pages.', 'bbpress' ),
			'customize_selective_refresh' => true
		) );

		parent::__construct( false, esc_html__( '(mat) Login Widget', 'bbpress' ), $widget_ops );
	}

I read many posts for removing the “Oh, bother” message.
I tried to remove it with
1. function.php
2. tried to change feedback-no-topics.php and feedback-no-forums.php
3. tried bbpress style pack

Would like to show “Only for registered users” but the only thing I get with solution 2 and 3 is a blank yellow field with nothing.

I use a Content Restrict Plugin for EDD and they say it’s a bbpress problem.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Matthias

Hi @philippowell, user signups are following WordPress user subscriptions.
1) You could remove ‘Anyone can register’ in /wp-admin/options-general.php, but that is probably not what you want to do
2) Check for WordPress plugins that will add protection to people signing up (like captcha)

[Robin W]

I’m not sure what you mean by a ‘spam registration’ – when a user registers, how could the system know whether they were a genuine user or a spam one ??

[bbpressyzh]

I’m using buddypress + bbpress + ultimate member
I found that only avatar from ultimate member has been fetched, which is not what I want.
I think the ultimate member caused this bug but I need ultimate member to create login and register page.
Can I fetch buddypress avatar to show up in the bbpress forum without deleting ultimate member?
Thanks in advance!

[danielsgirl]

Sorry, this thing is finicky — now it’s causing the register and lost password to be spaced weird on desktop:

Forum

[kriskl]

I know about aravatars. when I turned them on after migration fro phpbb – lost of users got pissed off, and left to other similar forums which provide what our forum does…

But at least buddypress allows uploading the avatar..

IMHO not being able to upload their own avatar.. but having to register and use aravatars.. is a major drawback in otherwise great BBPress

Hi all,
I am designing a community website using WP and I would like to run multiple forums. Every forum will be connected to a group and for this, I am using the private group plugin.
Users can register to the community but not necessarily be part of any group.
Scenario:
As a user registered on the website (wp)
when I try to access a forum I am not a member
then I see a call to action that allows me to request access to the forum
then a request is recorded and an email is sent to the admins

Is there any plugin to do the above?

Thx!

F.

Hi,

My GD bbPress Attachments plugin gets file uploaded through media library, and MIME Types check is done in WP core. So, MIME control code should work. But, many security plugins also limit MIME types, so it might be related to that.

But, my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/ has MIME Types control alowing you to add new types and limit upload to select types.

Problem is that WordPress checks actual MIME Type for files, so if the extension is not registered with the file’s real MIME Type, it will fail. If you have archive that you connect to text file MIME, it will fail, because WP uses PHP function to read file MIME if possible.

Milan

[johnnyontheweb]

you mean:

	// First we unregister the old key
    unset( $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h'] );
    // Then we add a new one
    ! isset( $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h|nvn'] ) AND $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h|<strong>nvn</strong>'] = 'text/plain';

No way, same error.

As a partecipant user, in the Reply to: box, I click on the button “Browse…” and I select a .nvn text file.

[Robin W]

have a look at this

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/44777/upload-mimes-filter-has-no-effect

seems maybe you can only have one text/plain entry?

the types are listed in

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_allowed_mime_types

and maybe try

add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'wpse44777_upload_mimes' );
function wpse44777_upload_mimes( $mime_types )
{
    // First we unregister the old key
    unset( $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h'] );

    // Then we add a new one
    ! isset( $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h|nvn'] ) AND $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h|nvn'] = 'text/plain';

    return $mime_types;
}

[johnnyontheweb]

I tried by taking out the code as you said, but then the admin/keymaster account was not able to upload files.

Hence, the code is correct.
I checked also the file type, nvn does not exist as a registered mime type.

[thecraneadmin]

I am still waiting for an answer. Anyone??? Any ideas?? I realize that bbPress always call the core wp-login.php to login, register or reset your password. I know that I can probably add code to wp-login.php but that would be a very bad thing to do as it is a core file and any updates to WP will overwrite your changes. I need a way to intercept the call from bbPress to wp-login.php.

Thanks,
J

[Juha Metsäkallas]

Hello!

I’m not sure, whether I have the same issue or a different one. I have simple forum structure with a forum list and every forum has a topic list. You may take a look at my forum list.

The features

• You don’t need to log in to read.
• The first forum is read-only for all users except the admin.
• Anyone can register and gets write-permission to all forums except the first one (Loginizer and Akismet in use).
• The forum with most topics gets its topics from posts by the plugin “bbPress Topics for Posts“. Despite being old the plugin has worked flawlessly until the most recent update

The issue

• Some of the forums have kept displaying “juuri nyt” (just now) since the update, because some of their topics show the same freshness.

What I have tried

• recalculated everything
• disabled the plugin “bbPress Topics for Posts” and recalculated everything
• changed to the Twenty Twenty theme and recalculated everything

but in vain. Is this caused/related by the bug #3297? Any pointers appreciated.

[David]

Hi All,

Is there a way to re-direct users that are logged in and land on the bbpress home location e.g /chat/ and re-direct them to a specific forum.

E.g, logged in users visits mysite.com/chat, and it redirects them to mysite.com/chat/forum/support.

i am using the code below found in the bbpress forums which re-directs guest to another page. It works great.

/**
* Redirect bbPress pages to registration page
*/
function kleo_page_template_redirect()
{
    //if not logged in and on a bp page except registration or activation
    if( ! is_user_logged_in() && is_bbpress() ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url( '/register/' ) );
        exit();
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'kleo_page_template_redirect' );

[Robin W]

can you check

dashboard>settings>forums

item – Automatically give registered visitors the xx role

I suspect you have this checked and set to spectator?

[huetherb]

Here is what I needed to do:

add_filter( ‘bbp_register_topic_post_type’, ‘enable_restAPI_bbpress_topics’, 10,1);
function enable_restAPI_bbpress_topics ($args) {
$args[‘show_in_rest’] = true;
$args[‘supports’] = array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘author’ );
return $args;
}
Notice the supports variable. By including author that ensures post_author is set.

Seriously, BBPress should simply include a setting in backend to enable restAPI. That is the direction that the web is heading in already, with headless CMS, decoupling front and and backend.

[huetherb]

Hi, I am trying to use the wordpress restAPI to get topic data. I am trying to do so via

add_filter( ‘bbp_register_topic_post_type’, ‘enable_restAPI_bbpress_topics’, 10,1);
function enable_restAPI_bbpress_topics ($args) {
$args[‘show_in_rest’] = true;
return $args;
}

That is to enable some functionality in another plugin.

But for some reason, doing so causes the bbpress topic editor to alter behavior. It shows a different editor type.

Instead of normal editor which shows a title field and then a content area below, it shows a Gutenberg block for title and content.

But more importantly, when I submit a topic it gets saved with userid set to 0. The revision is saved with correct user id, but the post itself is saved with post_author 0.

Any idea what is going on?

Brian

[armyadarkness]

That could be… I can tell you that the moderator does not ever actually moderate anything. And, the forum is usually locked… Private. You must be registered to read or post in it, and yet my daily users constantly lose posts to the spam filter. Why would the software think that a regular poster was spam? Especially when I have to unspam them daily?

[armyadarkness]

Do you see the ghosts that everyone posts from it? It occurs every 18-20 posts. I can certainly register you if that’ll help diagnose.
