hmmm…. not how it works in my test site.

The bit about some wp login plugin that you have deacivated?? can you explain more about that?

[kylewhenderson]

The bbPress Login Widget, upon submitting username/password simply redirects to /wp-login.php where the user has to again submit the username/password. It simply doesn’t log the user in at all. I have tested this with a fresh WP install with the default theme and only bbPress running. See video demo here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17gdtsNw401_ZYt2PcFKtyrO5rA49HGxg/view

Let me know if you have any questions – happy to provide any info to debug.

OP: Let us know if this is this same issue you are having or if this is a different issue.

[Robin W]

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

just tried it on my website, and that code works fine.

3 possibilities

1. the 90 is wrong
2. the 90 forum does not have sub forums
3. some other code is filtering the bbp_forum_get_subforums function

If you are happy it is not 1 or 2, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Thank you! The problem is I cannot predict when the issue will occur. I do not know exactly how to duplicate the problem – only notice that is seems to occur around WordPress updates.

Do you haves you other way to test?

Thanks

I have just tried it on my test site with WordPress 5.5.3 with bbPress 2.6.6, and it changed fine with no issues.

so you go into the edit, and click ‘generate password’ and then type in a paswword and click update Profile and that works.

Is this what you are trying?

[Robin W]

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.

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

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

If you choose other SMTP servers as a mailer, then you email/website hoster shoud be able to give you details of what to enter

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 !

I build bipeoplemeet with bbpress plugin for my site. After finishing, i begin to test registrationprocess, but can not receive the password link. How to solve this issue? Please help me!

[berry metal]

The reason is hard for me to debug this issue is that I am using this code to output a bbpress topic under each post that has the same name as the current post title:

add_shortcode( 'bbpresscomments', function() {
    $output     = '';
    $current_id = function_exists( 'vcex_get_the_ID' ) ? vcex_get_the_ID() : get_the_ID();
    $topics = new WP_Query( array(
        'post_type' => 'topic',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'fields' => 'ids',
    ) );
    if ( $topics->have_posts() ) {
        foreach( $topics->posts as $topic ) {
            if ( get_the_title( $topic ) == get_the_title( $current_id ) ) {
                $output .= do_shortcode( '[bbp-single-topic id="' . intval( $topic ) . '"]' );
            }
        }
    }
    return $output;
} );

This code is theme specific, so testing with an other theme doesn’t make sense in this case.
I will open now a ticket to my theme developer, but if you can see anything in this code that would make AJAX not work, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi !

Thanks for latest version.

Do I need to run any of these tools?

It is not clear to me.

[Robin W]

ok, yes bbpress just uses wordpress registration

it could be an email issue – email is notoriously difficult to get consistent – many email companies see wordpress emails as spam.

so I’d try the following which is my standard email advice:

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.

if this is a new installation (that is submit has never shown) then it could be a theme or plugin issue

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:

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?

WordPress 5.5.1
bbPress 2.6.5

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]

just tried that code on my test site and it works fine.

where are you putting it ?

[authgabor]

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

in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit.
