I don’t specifically know if that is default bbpress behaviour, suggest you try

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

If none of those show a change, then it is probably default behaviour.

Been a while, spent quite a lot of time looking for a solution for the “name” issue.

Wordpress registration checks if a “username” is already used, this is great.

Buddypress is the problem cause they also add a “Name” field to registration, and this can be duplicate creating issues when multiple John Doe’s appear in my forums and activity.

Solution

I created a dirty solution by changing the label for (buddypress) Name to Username, and added a line of text urging new members to fill in the exact same name as the did in the “Username” field.

Although people can type whatever they want there, I hope most will just copy the first name.

This way the @name and username should be similar on all pages.

Then I also removed the option to change this name in the profile edit.php through CSS so no longer can people change their nicknames.
Unless a code savvy member goes to change the CSS in chrome, then the box will appear and they can change their names.

Wishlist

A solution/function where Buddypress or BBpress copies the username and adds that in the nickname field by default.

Anyway, here is a link to my current register page:

sorry, but since your site requires login, we can’t see

However I’d suggest you check that no plugin updates are needed and then

Hi

We are using this plug in for one of our clients. Their site just went live after being designed, built, and tested on our beta server. Everything worked great, so we moved it to the live server this week.

However, now that they’re on the live site, new forum users are not receiving their email notifications containing their password. In Beta, there was no email “link” as far as I could tell between the Beta site and our hosting. When a new user would register, they would receive an email from wordpress@clientname.org. Within our hosting back end, I can see that emails were actually sent from ourusername@ourbetaserver.com.

Within the Dashbaord/Settings/General, I’ve made certain that the email account listed on that screen matches what was set up with their hosting provider. I’ve dug through the files until I can see code with my eyes close and cannot figure out how to make this work again.

I’ve just now learning development, so please help (at a 101 level). I appreciate any insight!!

[Robin W]

With so little information it is hard to help !

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Themes

[webcoreinteractive]

I don’t have any of the plugins mentioned here and have this issue occurring as well.
Definitely a bbpress – WP conflict. We have tested on our vanilla site.

I had to implement fix by Yolle. Thanks for the code.

Hopefull this bug gets fixed in next bbpress update.

[Robin W]

hmm.. as a mod on my test site(as well as on this site) I can trash and spam.

Have you altered any capabilities, or using any plugins that might affect this?

you could try

Hi,
I want to check if We want the forum section of the website to be accessible by anyone that registers BUT we also need to be able to restrict some sections of the forum, so that only some members can view these sections and others cannot. So that I can test this, I wanted to create a forum named “Some Dummy Text” and set this so that only some profiles can access it but others cannot, depending on what the administrator sets as their access rights? If someone without access rights tries to view this forum, can they get a message asking them to “Special permission is required to access this Forum. Please contact us”.
Does anyone knows about it, how to do it?
Thanks

i found this function doing a search , i havent tested though.

plop the code into your child themes functions.php file or your functionality plugin
and change 100 to whatever you like

function bbp_increase-forum-per-page( $args = array() ) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 100 );
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args’, ‘bbp_increase-forum-per-page’ );

code is from this topic

Hitting 50 forum limit? What can I do?

[Robin W]

sorry for the late reply, I have been busy elsewhere.

Read private forums is fine, and as it should be.

I have carefully read through the above, and am struggling to help you further.

The best I can suggest is that you set up a test site

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

so that you can try with a default theme and not break you live site

[m_elghag]

Ok, thought there might be an easy way to just add an conditional to the whole code and test if the forum has a certain parameter.

[Robkk]

well its not really a limit on having a certain number of forums
i think its just a limit of it being on the root page since it doesn’t have pagination.

for example if you have over 50 forums displayed in the forum root page any additional forum will not display

On my site I have several boards in each Forum. Is there a way of showing which of the boards have the latest post? Or alternatively is there an option to show unread posts?

Wordpress 4.0, bbPress 2.5.4. The forums are not available to view as they are member only.

What I want is some indication of which board the red circled item refers to in the attached image.

The reason for this is that sending out subscription emails one by one was appreciably slowing down some large sites, so in the last update they switched to bcc’ing in subscribers.

It’s fairly straightforward to change how the subscription emails are handled once you know how. If you unhook ‘bbp_notify_topic_subscribers’ you can then hook in your own subscription function.

Below is similar to what I did – I have it in a plugin but you could put it in your bbpress-functions.php file too, I think – this should be in a child theme. If you do this, please test it first as this is simply an example and not necessarily working code. I’ve gone ahead and simply pasted in the function that was used in the previous version of bbPress so you don’t have to find it.

//custom topic subscription emails, unhook old function, hook in new one
remove_action( 'bbp_new_reply',    'bbp_notify_topic_subscribers', 11, 5 );
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply',    'mjj_bbp_notify_topic_subscribers', 11, 5 );

Okay I managed to do roughly what I wanted without changing the functions.php. Here’s how:

1) I installed bbP Members Only plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-members-only/, I then created a test forum and topic

2) I created a page called ‘member login’ and put the [bbp-login] shortcode in this page (no menu link for this page)….

Hello,

What is the procedure to display the profile photo, in the option “Latest posts”? Same have is here in this forum.

Helpe me please.

@atfpodcast
i just checked on my side with the latest raindrops theme ,

i checked to see if all of the quicktag buttons worked
they did.

i checked if some of the bbcodes from gdbbpress and bbpress2 bbcode didnt just process the bbcode out well
they did.

i didnt run bbpress2 bbcode with bbpress direct quotes while gdbbpress tools activated at the same time, because i mean they do the same thing.

if you feel like the quicktags toolbar is really causing the problem and you have some error logs to post or images of error logs or any other info you can get while debugging is on, make a new topic with all the information in it.

[readwriteandedit]

I’m trying to format the background and the border for the lead topic, just as you’ve done here in the bbPress forum. I used Firebug to see your code, which is

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body {
    border: 1px solid #dd6;
}
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body div.topic {
    background-color: #0099FF;
}

But when I add this to my child theme’s CSS (where I’ve successfully made other bbPress changes), nothing changes.

I don’t know if something else I’ve changed is preventing this from changing or maybe if you have something in the setup that I don’t have, something that allows you to style this in CSS when I can’t.

Any suggestions? The forum is private, but I can get you in temporarily, if that would help. Or I could paste into a comment all the changes to bbPress I made in my CSS.

(Note: I changed your color for testing purposes)

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello, @Robin-W

Thanks for your quick reply.

I tried to deactivate all plugins i have except for bbpress(actually i also tried to reinstall all of them that can be connected to bbpress) and it gave no result.
I am in fear of changing my theme as it can just break all the site, so i can’t do it now(but my theme author actually was the on who suggested to use your plugin, so i believe it shouldn’t be the case)

So currently i have this:

Main: WordPress 4.0

Theme: Kleo 2.1.1

Plugins installed and activated:
bbP last post 1.0
bbP private groups 2.4
bbPress 2.5.4

wp-Monalisa 3.4
WP Login Timeout Settings 1.1.0
YouTube Channel 2.4.0.2

What i have now:
5 groups in plugin, member testuserrq is subscriper to a site and a participant to a forum. He is inside group1 in plugin. I have some forums private and they are marked only for groups2-4. This user can’t see this forums when he is browsing forum, but if he will try direct-link he can see it and he can browse it further(for example by direct link to a forum and then to threads in this forum)
I tried different options in plugin, created new forums and changed groups, but still problem with direct link persists. If i will give user reader right in forum he cant see this themes anymore, only as participant. Changing his role to site does nothing(i can even turn it off).
I tried installing capability manager enhanced to look what capabilities this role have and i see it has read private forums – should it be this way? I guess it is how it goes by default.

Please, try to give me any direction where i can look at, because its crucial for my site(as i rely on forum much and forum access security is a subject of a main concern)

Sorry for so many text and this mess 🙁

Hi _ck_

Do you have an updated version of your plugin that works with the latest version of bbpress?

Here’s the only one I can find for download:
https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/bbpress-theme-switcher/trunk/

Alternatively, how can I get this working without a plugin?

Thanks for all your work!
