bbpress just uses wordpress registration

dashboard>settings>general has the ‘anyone can register’ option

[joostvb]

I just installed BBpress and made the configuration of a register form.
When I try to register and hit submit a blanc form appear.

In the youtube video’s which a saw the Membership: Anyone can register has to be marked on. But this option isn’t visibel in the menu.
What I am doing wrong or how can this be solved.

Thanks in advance

if you are just registering a single user in dasjboard>users, then they should get the wordpress registration

Hello!

Im registering a journalist who will be an author on my site.

Registration is done through the administrative part of the site, section – Users.

But after registration the user gets a link to the profile like this: website.com/forums/users/username/.

I don’t need it to be a forum member and it should have a standard link to wordpress profile. How do I do that? I couldn’t find a setting that would allow me to fix it.

Thank!

Buddypress and bbpress just use wordpress registration and login, so any wordpress, buddypress and/or bbpress registration/login will register/log you into all these.

Many people do not need either bbpress or buddypress, but some like to have both – for instance I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites.

I’m creating a new BuddyPress site that will be primarily organized around Groups. Each Group will represent a city, and each Group needs to have multiple Forums (such as for neighborhoods within the city). Two questions, please:
1) How do I create multiple Forums for Groups? When I set up a new Group, it asks if I want the Group to have a Forum. But it says nothing about having more than one Forum.
2) I’m confused about the difference between a BuddyPress user registration and a BBPress Forum user registration. Do I need both? Does the Forum registration just register them for one Forum, or for use of the whole BuddyPress site? If they register in BuddyPress, do they also need to register to take part in a Forum?

In general, I don’t understand why BuddyPress and BBPress are separate plugins. It would make a lot more sense (and be less confusing) if they were all in one plugin, wouldn’t it?

Hi,
I wish nominate forum’s registered users as ‘Forum’s Managers’ and to set 3 Manager’s levels.
Autorization is to all the forums in the site (5 forums generated):
level 1 – autorization to edit and delete posts
level 2 – as level 1 plus autorization to access to the specific post user’s (the post creator) registered profile and edit the profile (i.e set new password when needed).
level 3 – as level 2 plus access to the registered users list and their profiles
Thank you

Hello,

How can I make my bbpress forum private? Not available to the public. Only to registered users with a specific role on the website?
I’ve tried so many things.

Thank you

[Robin W]

You can manually change any set up already from their profile.

For new users you can change this at registration
eg

function change_display_name( $user_id ) {
 $info = get_userdata( $user_id );
 $args = array(
 'ID' => $user_id,
 'display_name' => $info->first_name . ' ' . $info->last_name
 );
 wp_update_user( $args );
}
add_action('user_register','change_display_name');

you have options of
‘display_name’ => $info->user_login
or
‘display_name’ => $info->user_email
or
‘display_name’ => $info->user_nicename

or if you have a custom field, you can use that

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

or use

Thank you for your response.

Yes, they can click a link on some pages but the topic is set privately and only visible to members. The none logged in users sees a 404 and we would like it to display the login/register page instead.

Thank you!

[hny]

Is it possible to display the register/login form instead of the 404 not found for private forums?

Thank you!

[kezeo]

here you are what they said :
“you can add custom fields for any registered post type with Meta Box, but you need to contact bbPress support to ask for outputting the field value on their end.”

I’m having a similar issue. I installed a user registration form that uses reCaptcha, and that has eliminated bots from registering, however, if one accesses the bbPress discussion board without first logging in, they are presented with the bbPress login, and when they enter their credentials it takes them to a second login using reCaptcha and loses their credentials they have just typed in. It’s both confusing and annoying.

I used the instructions here to add ‘wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-user-login.php’ However Filezilla throws an error, and I assume this is because my theme is locked down.

Can I get instruction to solve this by adding a child theme? (if that is the issue).

Thanks!

bbp profile information
bbp User Ranking
bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages
bbPress Messages
bbPress WP Tweaks

[pannenkoek]

Oh wait wrong code and not able to edit original post… here is the good one

jQuery("form.bbp-login-form").find(".bbp-submit-wrapper").append( '<button class="button" onclick="location.href=\'http://LINK-TO-REGISTER-PAGE\'" type="button">Registreer</button>' );

[pannenkoek]

And then I stumbled on to the same problem. I came up with the following solution.

Create a page and add the shortcode [bbp-register] to display the register screen.

Then add the following code to your functions.php

function add_bbp_register_button() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
     jQuery('.bbp-submit-wrapper').append( '<button onclick="location.href=\'http://LINK-TO-REGISTER-PAGE\'" type="button">Register</button>' );
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_bbp_register_button');
 

cheers

dashboatd>settings>forums>Automatically give registered visitors the participant role

[Ai Roux]

Hi there,
I’m pretty new with wordpress and bbpress, and I can’t find the setting I need.
I want that new users automaticaly got the subscriber role on my site (done, general setting) and also the bbp_participant role.

How can I do that ? Thanks by advance.

Kind regards

[Robin W]

yes it does make sense 🙂

so this is just ‘registration’ and any new users you ‘register’ for ‘wordpress not forums’ will be known to you and presumably admins, so it probably does not matter that ‘all’ new registrations receive a ‘forum’ welcome, as they will all be forum users apart from any new admins you sign up, who can be told to ignore the email.

so I would suggest that you just use a WordPress registration welcome and tailor it for your forum users.

Does that make sense, or have I misunderstood something ?

[pluckvermont]

So our site typically has minimal users, myself and a few admins. We login properly and make the edits to the site.

We have a forum set-up coming online. Our registrants to the forum will get an email when they register. They’ll register from the bbpress shortcode I included on a page.

Instead of saying “Welcome the forum”, the email they receive says New User Registration.
The URL it provides is the /wp-login, not the page with the bbpress login shortcode. It’s a default WP registration and login.

I’d liked to customize emails going to forum registrants that are specific to the forum.

Does that make sense?

Thx–

When the people register in my website they don’t receive emails to affirm their registration. How to make the emails reach to my user?

[TeqToo]

I’m on bbPress 2.6.6, WordPress 5.8.1, and the site is http://bluebirdnut.com/forums/.
I had another SPAM attack last night, this time in the main forum. Hundreds of posts were made, all filled with what looked like Chinese characters. After the last attack, I set flood control at 90 seconds. Whatever or whoever made this attack managed to make it by just waiting 90 seconds between posts. I only caught it because I woke up at 4AM and checked my email and found a new participant had signed up for the forum. I UNchecked the box to “Automatically give registered visitors the
Participant forum role”, which the documentation says will force me to manually assign all user access to your forums. But the new user was able to post without my having approved his role as a participant. I’ve now installed a reCaptcha plugin, but I don’t understand why the settings I’ve specified are being ignored.
Oh, and when I checked the user’s profile (before deleting it) it was able to assign itself the MODERATOR role in addition to participant! I had to disable the plugin in the middle of the night in order to stop the attack. And the IP address of both this attack and the previous one (which I reported in this forum, but didn’t receive a single reply) resolved to the West coast of the US, not China.

Hello
I found bbpress registration is used by “form-user-register.php”
I added extra field code (
<div class=”bbp-email”>
<label for=”user_email”><?php esc_html_e( ‘Email’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>: </label>
<input type=”text” name=”이메일” value=”<?php bbp_sanitize_val( ‘user_password’ ); ?>” size=”20″ id=”user_password” maxlength=”100″ autocomplete=”off” />
</div>)
to edit the registeration form but it didnt work
what is the problem do you think?

[cachophrastus]

Hi,

I just installed BBpress and tried to register. The email does not arrive. It seems that this is a common problem. I looked at the competitor forum plug in support forum and same problem with that plug in.

A poster wrote that he solved the problem by having the registration without email. How do I set that up? I have the BBpress tweaks plug in.

Alternatively is there a way of sending the email through mailchimp or similar? I have a mailchimp account.

[pluckvermont]

Hi,

I’ve installed bbpress and made myself Keymaster.

When I start forums, topics and reply, however, my email is being shown, not my username.

This doesn’t seem to be the case with other people who have registered and posted.

Is this typical and can this be changed so my username shows up?
