Hello all,

I have bbpress and Buddypress installed and the problem I’m having is the difference between the WP registration, buddypress registration and bbpress registration. Do they all end up being the same user in WP? For some reason when some people register they can’t log onto the other BBpress or BuddyPress portions.

How can I trouble shoot or resolve this or make it so there is ONE registration and one user?

Thank you

Hey Pascal 👋 
I’ve just tried your bbP Toolkit plugin and it works quite well 👏

But I have an oddity concerning the “Add new users to the default forum(s)” function:

when I create a user via the admin (Users > Add new), everything is going well, the user is subscribed to the forums by default, but when I register a new user (via the front form), however, no!

I guess it comes from the “insert_user_meta” filter, it must be different for the registration?

Thank you for your help!
Warm regards,
Ludovic

I presume you have ‘anyone can register’ ticked in :

dashboard>settings>general>membership – that will let anyone join, and at that stage you cannot know if they are real or not, so no automatic way to prevent.

I’d suggest you move to a closed registration, so that you can manually join people.

as for getting rid of those in there – you would need some code which would look for all users who have not made a forum post, but this might delete genuine users, so without a forumla to work out who is real or not, it would be hard to code/

Hello,

Thank you for such great plugin, very promising so far.

I have a few questions regarding login/ register. Yes, I have searched through the documentations and support but could not find any answer regarding these.

Installed theme/ plugins: free Astra theme, wp 6.0.2, bbpress 2.6.9, bbp style pack 5.0.8.

1. I have set up login box in the sidebar, and I would like to remove the default login box below topics/ posts. How is this done?

2. What is the best way to reduce the size of the login background box? I have attempted using SiteOrigin but when I it I’m shown the hover attribute so I can’t identify it to make the adjustment.

3. I would like to also try placing login link in below the main menu (like its done here in bbpress forum). How is this done? I do have “bbp style pack” plugin installed, but it places the login in the main menu bar, which I do not want.

Thank you in advance.

I am using WordPress 6.0.2, bbPress 2.6.9 and my forums are located here.

I have what I would have thought was a fairly common requirement: I (keymaster/administrtor/moderator) simply want to receive an email notification if a post requires moderation, rather than having to ‘manually’ monitor the Topic/Reply lists through the forum adminsitration screens to see if moderation is required.

It seems that the ‘bbPress – Moderation Tools’ plugin used to do this, but this plugin appears to no longer be available. I have installed ‘bbPress Notify (No Spam)’ 2.17.6 (bbPNNS), but I seem only to be able to configure this to notify me after the post has been approved, not before, when moderator action is required.

My problem is not a fundamental problem with notifications. I get email notifications when new users register or when they change their password, and I can configure bbPNNS to send email notification when new topics are posted, but I cannot see how to configure something that will send an email notification when a pending post (Topic or Reply) requires the attention of a moderator.

There appears to be a plugin that will hold all posts for moderation, and send the desired email notification, but I don’t need, or want, all posts to be moderated.

I have posted a similar request on the bbPNNS support forum, where this post suggests that this is a standard feature of the bbPNNS plugin, but I cannot see how to configure this capability and thought I may need to be asking my question in a broader forum.

Can anyone point me to a suitable plugin or instructions on how I might be able achieve this?

[Devcr3]

register_activation_hook(FILE, ‘bbpress_topic_scheduler’);

add_action(‘bbpress_daily_event’, ‘bbpress_close_old_topics’);

function bbpress_topic_scheduler() {
wp_schedule_event(time(), ‘daily’, ‘bbpress_daily_event’);
}

function bbpress_close_old_topics() {
// Auto close old topics
$topics_query = array(
‘author’ => 0,
‘show_stickies’ => false,
‘parent_forum’ => ‘any’,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘posts_per_page’ => -1
);
if ( bbp_has_topics( $topics_query ) )
while( bbp_topics() ) {
bbp_the_topic();
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
$topic_date = strtotime( get_post( $topic_id, ‘post_date’, true ) );
$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id);
if ($topic_date < strtotime( ‘-5 hours’) && $forum_id == 9547 )
bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );
}
}

Ps: code add to functions.php

Hello,

I have just installed the latest version of bbPress, but on the forums page, I am seeing the following errors. The ‘Registered Users’ and ‘Forums’ part seems fine but the rest are not.

Here is the code from that section of the file:

<dt><?php esc_html_e( 'Forums', 'bbpress' ); ?></dt>
	<dd>
		<strong><?php echo esc_html( $stats['forum_count'] ); ?></strong>

Hi guys,
i am using bbpress with the recaptcha for bbpress plugin then setup the site key and the secret key in google, then put the key in bbpress but however there is no recaptcha box if i want to register or login into the forum.

Do i need to do more to get the recaptcha box or what could be the problem.
Btw maybe you could recommend some more plugins or actions for secure the forum even more

thanks a lot for your kind help

In bbPress, the URL for a user’s public profile page is something like https://example.com/forums/users/{username}.

The problem is that because of how users register (another plugin), their username is sometimes their name or email. We’d like for people to be able to post somewhat anonymously, so we’d like the URL to be https://example.com/forums/users/{display_name} or similar, so if they change their display name, they can remain somewhat anonymous.

Is that possible?

Alternatively, is there a way to post completely anonymously, but in a way that is available only for logged-in users?

[Tasneem Bin Ahsan]

i just create a forum on my website. I think i did all configuration correctly. I follow a few tutorial from Youtube. Everything looks great. But when user tried to register my forum it’s did’nt work. The confirmation email never reached in the destinated email.

And if the user tried to register again with that email, it shows
“That email address has already been used. Please check your inbox for an activation email. It will become available in a couple of days if you do nothing.”

I checked up inbox and Spam, there is no email.

See this screnshoot https://prnt.sc/bTmtBROqOnFB

[anniemeisy]

Is it possible to set a permission where guest cannot see a link but can read the topics

For example “To view or see the link you must register”

Currently using Kleo.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

[Grase Freeman]

just register

[Robin W]

Even after checking the box to not moderate registered users,

sorry – what box is this/where is it?

[sbask]

Even after checking the box to not moderate registered users, the bbpress software after about 6 months moderates a posting. Is there some way to get the system to not moderate anyone who is registered on the site?

[biztips]

I set the home page of my site to display the forums. There will be public forums.

However, when new (unregistered) site visitors see these Forum names, I also want them to see the NAMES OF PRIVATE FORUMS.

I’m thinking that if they see other topics that interest them they might register. Is that possible?

Have bbPress installed on new site, step4profitforum.com, version 6.6

Thank you!

The page https://commitproject.eu/wp-login.php?checkemail=registered

Is not showing any message after a new user registration. The registration works fine just the message is not showing.

[sruddy]

I had a user tell me they got a notice their posts were waiting approval. What made that happen? The forum is open to registered users and this user has made many pervious posts.

[mrentropy]

I realize this topic is more than six years old, but I’ve been attempting to achieve similar behavior, and adding the following code in a custom plug-in seems to work. I have a taxonomy of “ideacategory” and I’m able to create a bbPress view called “ideacat” that filters all of the topics where the category term is equal to “24-hour-market-watch.”

function idea_register_custom_views() {
		
	bbp_register_view(
		'ideacat',
			esc_html__( 'Idea Category', 'bbpress' ),
			apply_filters( 'bbp_register_view_ideacat', array(
			'tax_query' => array(
				array(
					'taxonomy' => 'ideacategory',
					'field' => 'slug',
					'terms' => array( '24-hour-market-watch' )
				)
			),
			'show_stickies' => false
			)
		) );

}

add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'idea_register_custom_views' );

Hi Robin,
I’m making a little headway. I tried #1 and I didn’t like how it automatically added the user. I what to approve all new registrations as they come in. I saw no setting on how to get new users approved manually. Also maybe this is a wordpress question but I can’t find were to change the color of the register here link on the login page. I put an image over it and can’t see it. I see no place in the login customizer to fix it. Here is the link https://santarosaphotographicsociety.org/wp-login.php

last I put a forum link in the home page main menu, this is it. https://santarosaphotographicsociety.org/forums/ Will this link would prompt a login first then open the forums. If not how do I make that happen.

[sruddy]

Thanks! So If I put a new menu item called login that links to this, https://santarosaphotographicsociety.org/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fsantarosaphotographicsociety.org%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
is that all I need for forum users to register and login? During registration will I and them be notified via email or it that another setting?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress registration and login.

so either :

1. You allow uses to register using dashboard>settings>discussion>anyone can register, bbpress will allocate the role set in dashboard>settings>forums>default role

2. you manually add uses (dashboard>users>add user) upon receipt of a form (using say a form plugin – https://www.isitwp.com/best-wordpress-contact-form-plugins/ – to set up whatever details you want which is then emailed to you) – you then then allocate any wp and bbpress role you wish, or none !

3. you use a registration plugin – there are lots – this article describes some https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-user-registration-plugins/

[sruddy]

So I guess I’m not understanding how this all works. The website is a photography club and is wordpress.org. I just added this bbPress forum plugin and have all the forums set up. I’m ready to test with two other people. I now need to have a place were the two others can register, I then want an email so I can review and approve them. How do i accomplish this? After that I think the login page with the shortcode provided by Robin W should work.

[DeepBlue]

Hi

First you should have a more complexe login form with anti spam (recaptcha) or other system to prevent Robots to register to your site

do you have a normal wp-login form ?

Also you should noindex the profiles so that they dont get indexed

[cybercli]

I use a membership plugin Ultimate Member which has a plugin to require checking they have read the terms of Use before they can register. Just include the forum rules in the TOS.
