just tested and I got two emails

one as you described, and the second with a password link.

I’ve tried testing this plugin out as I have the same need to provide roles for forum visibility as well. Unfortunately, I seem to be running into various errors. I’m running v5.5.3. The following is an example output:

Notice: Undefined variable: subs_check in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/bbp-private-groups/includes/meta-box.php on line 296

Hi there All,
I have enabled new registrations, by creating a registration page. and use the shortcode [bbp-register].

however, when I test this in incognito, I do received the email to complete my registration but it only contains

Username: john###
Email: john###@gmail.com

is there ment to be a password, or a link to create a password?

Hello,

I would like to know if your extension allows you to do these things :
– Create a group to join (administrator approval to join) to view certain topics
– Ability to move a topic from one group to another
– In topics, that members can share photo and video content and links in addition to text.
– In the member’s space, possibility to create a photo album with the modification of the privacy of this album
– Show the latest topics at the top
– Ability to alert an administrator if content needs to be reported
– Online chat to exchange between members
– Being able to vote for a message in a topic

Thank you in advance for your contributions.

We look forward to hearing from you,

[Robin W]

can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Hi,

I experienced the same issue when I tried to import from latest phpBB forum, the users and the password didn’t come through the import… :/

Maybe the user related tables changed in the 3.3.x phpBB?

Hey Robin, Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. I added this to my themes functions.php (from the article above), but hardcoded in a forum_id, just to test it out, and it doesn’t seem to work.

function my_bbp_filter_search_results( $r ){
    $forum_id = 1715;

    if( $forum_id && is_numeric( $forum_id ) ){
 
        $r['meta_query'] = array(
            array(
                'key' => '_bbp_forum_id',
                'value' => $forum_id,    // 1715 x , 11 , 1717 , 
                'compare' => '=',
            )
        );
         
    }

    error_log('Dedicated forum = ' . $forum_id);
 
    return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_search_results_parse_args' , 'my_bbp_filter_search_results' );

the error log is coming through when the page is loaded, but i’m still getting discussions from other forums in the search results.

bbpress registration just uses wordpress registration, so likely a site/wordpress issue

copy/paste of my standard advice on email – hopefully it will help

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address
in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit.
You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

Next try switching to smtp email – this page from the host Siteground explains it

https://www.siteground.co.uk/tutorials/wordpress/use-smtp/

and of course

By default, you do NOT receive emails for your own topics/replies, only if somebody else replies on your subscribed topics

so testing would need two email accounts to prove !

Hi,
After updating WooCommerce to the latest version (4.6.1), the plugin is now hiding the WordPress admin bar for bbPress moderators and keymasters. Making it harder for them to moderate the forums.

The following code in my functions.php file used to resolve the issue, however it no longer works:

add_action('init', function(){
if(class_exists('WooCommerce') && function_exists('bbp_get_user_role') && is_user_logged_in()){

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();	
$user_id = $current_user->ID;	
$bbp_get_user_role = bbp_get_user_role($user_id);

if($bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_keymaster' || $bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_moderator'){	
add_filter( 'woocommerce_prevent_admin_access', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_disable_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
}
});

I posted this question to the WooCommerce forums and am also posting it here in case anyone else is having similar problems?

Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sam

I have no way of knowing how to describe this so not sure what I would search.

We had a group that used to be on yahoogroups, which we now wanted to migrate and I thought perhaps bbpress might manage. I followed the (somewhat outdated) instructions re importing via a csv file, making three ones for users, topics and replies. On a local installation the topics managed to be imported, but not the replies, and repair forums managed to dis-associate everything.

Now the site is not local, and I am trying to import. None of the importers decide to work with CSV files and custom posts for free. When one did work (having split my smallest CSV file – topics- into 50 different ones), I just tried the first file. It says it imported around 700 records. However, forum is empty, topics show no results, and repair forums does nothing. Neither does resetting permalinks. Neither does clearing cache.

At the top of topics, however, there is this:

Topics Add New
Your site is currently displaying a “Coming Soon” page. Once you are ready, launch your site.

Filter topics listAll (562) | Mine (21)
Filter by date
All dates

In all forums

Topics list
Select all
Topics
Forum Replies Voices Author Created Last Post
No topics found
Select all
Topics
Forum Replies Voices Author Created Last Post

The logs as the importer went had “admin view” where on the few I clicked it had the reply, the author and associated to the right forum, but I can’t view it. It says they exist, and also says none exist when I click view all, just as above.

If I create a test one it all appears fine.

I would just quite like some help, and have no idea where to go from here. Please please help!

I do not own or operate the bbPress forums I’m asking about, but the owner doesn’t want to fix things. No idea what versions they are using because they keep it hidden from the plebes. But, I’d love to offer a fix for a problem some, but not all, members are running in to.

When using the “Upload Attachments” function, all I get is “Upload Errors!” message. This happens with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox – latest versions.

[uksentinel]

I may have missed what I was looking for, does anybody know if there is a way to show a list of the top posting members in BBPRESS, much like we can already do via Showing Latest Posts, Recent Topics and Most Liked Posts etc.

Thanks

hi,

We created a new forum for our law website and create section to test and then created a topic, but when we click on the related topic, it gives 404. Are we making a mistake somewhere?

I apologize if this is something obvious to others. I have a WP site in Arabic and want to use bbPress in English for private forums. Is this possible?

I have downloaded the files for Translation of Stable (latest release): English (UK), renamed them to bbpress-en_GB.po and bbpress-en_GB.mo, and copied them into /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ (per docs).

But the forums publish in Arabic.

Is it possible to have forums in EN on a WP-site that is AR?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

[Robin W]

In the right sidebar of the Forum Edit page, under Forum Attributes, I select a parent forum from the list. After pressing Update, the field switches back to -No parent-.

I cannot replicate this – forum parents are saved and can be switched back and forth.

Hi there,
I want to import 150 users to my forum and subscribe them to a new “test” forum topic in order to check if the email notification is working (it stops after sending 100 emails).
In order to do this, I use the plugin “import and export users and customers” to import a list of made-up users (username and email are all that is needed for columns in CSV file).
Then I create a new “test” forum.
Now I want to subscribe them all to this forum topic programmatically via MySQL.
The issue is, I have looked at the SQL table and the only data that I can find on user subscriptions is the wp_usermeta where meta_key = 'wp__bbp_forum_subscriptions'. The meta_value shows the ID of the forum that users are subscribed to.
The issue is that it seems to be no longer working. Is it a meta_value that BBpress no longer uses? If so, which one is used?
If I take a random subscribed user (ID=17248) and check what they are subscribed to, the following query works: select * from wp_usermeta where meta_key = 'wp__bbp_forum_subscriptions' and user_id = 17248;. I can then see a list in the meta_value table of what they are subscribed to. But if I then (using the BBp Toolkit plugin) alter their subscriptions and e.g. unsubscribe them from a topic, go back to the DB and do the same query, it shows the same forum subscription IDs, even though there should be one less.
Could you point me in the right direction of which table to query to alter the forum topic ids of a user please?

Hey guys,

I installed Bbpress on one of my multisites and i have used a plugin to allow users to register tto resgister rather than allowing registrations at the network level.

I have used the bbpress shortcodes for the registration page and the login page however when i test registering as a new user it redirects me to a local-signup page which i assume is happening due to it being a multisite? Is there any way to have only one form that meeds to be filled in? Do i need a user and registration plugin?

The main issue i have is that qhen i do complete the registration process thw new user reveives no email…

I then added a plugin for Smtp, configured it and it works in itself but not diffrrence to the bbpress registration process.

Not sure how to fix the issue, i also tried allowing users to register at a network level but made no difference?

Do i need to add somethinking like the Ultimate user registrations plugin or wp forms? Will that make a difference?

Im ising using latest version of wp and bbpress on my site…

Hi Robin,

Sorry to re-open this.

the latest topics pagination works great! thanks to the code above,

BUT when I turned off threaded replies. the normal pagination in topics is strange..

here is what I mean

https://opentuition.com/forums/

the page numbers it shows are : 1, 2, 4
instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 1,2, 4

and when I go to some topic

and click on page 3
it shows like this:

1, 1, 2, 3

here is the example

https://opentuition.com/topic/obu-period-40-results-post-your-comments-instant-poll/page/3/

is there anything that can be done? do you think?

thanks
Kris

It’s still returning null, no output whatsoever. I even print_r($subs) inside the while loop and nothing shows up, I’m using the latest versions of bbpress and wordpress, the theme is a blank starter theme with only bbpress plugin activated
