Hi – I have a WordPress site that has been operational for 5 years.
I wanted to add a Discussion Forum using bbPress, and I have been successful in installing the bbPress plug-in.
Using the bbPress Shortcode Codex, I wanted to create a requirement for people to log into my new Discussion Forum using
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
[bbp-lost-pass] – Display the lost password screen.

However, when I test these two options, it appears that these two options actually create a new WordPress account – with no connection to my existing WordPress site at all. When I test the Register facility, a new page opens with the WordPress create account box (create username and password).

What is wrong with the Shortcode usage, please?

WordPress 5.4.1 running Enterprise theme.

Who and What I Find – About this site

bbPress Version 2.6.5

[John James Jacoby]

It sounds like you no longer have the Keymaster forum role.

Be sure to update to the latest version of bbPress, and check your Users for any other Keymaster accounts that you don’t recognize.

[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.

Then come back

Hi, I just installed bbpress and have the latest version of wordpress (5.4). I see “voices” and “posts” but no “views”.

Is this standard? I would like to see the number of views by topic.

Is there a simple fix for a non-programmer type guy?

[Ben]

I upgraded to 2.6.5 . In WordPress menu Settings->Forums, I checked Super Moderators(Allow Moderators and Keymasters to edit users) .I tested setting the user role Editor / Keymaster. In WordPress menu can’t look the Users menu.

How can i do ?

Thx.

[Robin W]

nothing I know of, when testing I just hit the refresh button in my browser

[Robin W]

I’m just a bbpress user who helps out here.

I did not respond to allow and other community members to respond if they wished.

I appreciated that you are frustrated, but you are using free software, and with that comes volunteer support. I’m not sure why you feel entitled to get someone to fix your problems for free and at a weekend.

There are 300,000 bbpress sites, and I have been offering support on this forum for 6 years, and have seen most issues that bbpress has had over the years.

I’m not sure where this message is coming from.

It is not in bbpress, and bbpress just uses WordPress registration.

It may well be WordPress (I haven’t got auto registration on any of my test sites so can’t say)

Or are you running and registration plugins, or does your theme do this, or is it WordPress.

You’ll need to do a bit more digging.

[Robin W]

ok, I’m not seeing this issue – can you as a test deactivate bbpress do shortcodes and then retest

[slimshadys]

Hello. 🙂
I’m using the latest version of bbPress and I would like to know if there is a way to refresh a page twice when I click its link.

Let’s give an example:
I’m in the topics list.

I’m about to click on one random topic.. It successfully loads the topic and everything goes fine.
But I’m doing some tests with my own plugins and I need to refresh that page twice.

Like – “When you successfully load the page, load it again, just once more.”

Is there a function for doing so? Like adding a refresh function to the topic pagination function?
If you guys could help me out, would be appreciated 🙂

Thank you!

Test topic

[sleestak]

Here is a test site I setup. http://alitho12.dreamhosters.com/

[Alpo]

Oh, thank you very much for your quick help!

Unfortunately the case is still on. We tested earlier this week that option, but the result is same – except one thing.

1. When you copy text from email client (or word processor) including hyperlink and paste it to the forum, the result is 404 error after submission

2. But if you paste the text and remove the hyperlink (the link is still there but as plain text) then the message goes to queue and administrator must accept the submission

I can add hyperlinks to the text and submit it to forum if I type it manually without copying.

It looks like there are some rules which prevents adding the text to submission forms and subscribing it.
Very interesting case 🙂

@robin-w

Hello,

I have the latest versions of WordPress, bbPress and bbp style pack

Users no longer receive email when they subscribe to a forum or topic.

The email is sent to the administration email but not to subscribers.

It’s not a mailbox problem. When there is a quote, it works.

It is not related to bbPress 2.6.5

Does anyone else have the same concern, is there a setting that I missed?

Thank you for helping me and sorry for my rough English.

[Robin W]

well it does on my test site, so without seeing your site I can’t say – sorry

[sleestak]

My live site with a 3rd party theme is not public. The test site I have is just running locally in a docker container. It is a fresh install using the built-in themes.

[zirow]

I’ve tried @robin-w snippit above but didnt work with my current wordpress version(latest one according to the date of my post) but i managed to get it working with this snippit if anyone needs it.

Note: I’m a beginner to wordpress and bbpress so there might be other better ways of doing this.

function change_role(){
$user_id = $user->ID ;
if( current_user_can(‘administrator’)){

bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, ‘bbp_keymaster’ );

}
}
add_action(‘wp_login’, ‘change_role’);

[sleestak]

I have posted this before, but I still can’t get this to work. I have threaded replies enabled, but my replies are not indenting. To determine if it was an issue with my theme, I created a brand new WordPress test site and tried all of the included test themes and indenting does not work on any of them. The only plugins I have are bbpress and the bbpress style pack. What am I missing?

Thanks!

[Dion Hulse]

Like WordPress, bbPress uses a semi-decimal-based versioning system, where bbPress 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 are considered major versions.

bbPress 2.6 was a major update with just under 6 years of development:

This version of bbPress has been in development for just a bit under 6 years (yikes!) over which 420 tickets were resolved via 1737 individual code commits.

The Full list of releases is available on the bbPress codex, although it doesn’t have the full details for the latest two minor 2.6.x releases.

[Robin W]

thanks – just to ask the obvious, you are running the yoast plugin ?? 🙂

then as a test can you try a correction to my previous code

add_filter( 'wpseo_metatitle', 'rew_meta_title' );
function rew_meta_title( $title ) {
global $post ;
       if ($post->post_type == 'reply' ) {
	 $title = 'this is a reply' ;
    }
 return $title;
}

if that fails, can you try (as a test only)

add_filter( 'wpseo_metatitle', 'rew_meta_title' );
function rew_meta_title( $title ) {
 $title = 'this is a reply' ;
   return $title;
}

This should put that phase at the top of every pages, and will at least show that the filter is working.

[Robin W]

I don’t have any sites with both yoast and forums on them (my forum sites are profession related sites with private forums so don’t want to advertise!).

So I don’t know which part of the code is faulty.

If you are able to test, then start with

add_filter( 'wpseo_metatitle', 'rew_meta_title' );
function rew_meta_title( $title ) {
       if ($post->post_type == 'reply' ) {
	 $title = 'this is a reply' ;
    }
 return $title;
}

this should make the title of each reply ‘this is a reply’

if that works, then we kwow the function is working, but not getting the right answer !

If it doesn’t work, then I’ll come back with another

[nasosravas]

Hi.
I installed bbpress and it shows wrong topic number. I have only one topic in forum and it shows #2448.
Tried to fix it with the bbpress tools without success.

Test

Any fix?

Not sure how to easily get a list, but this is what’s in my plugins folder:

[Robin W]

ok, thanks for the update.

I loaded your code in my test site and it works fine – eg I can allocate someone to warlord.

what plugins do you have on your site?
