I’m testing version 2.6rc5 – everything works, moderators are added.
You need to enter: “user1, user2, user3”

They do not have access to the backend (this is superfluous …).

All actions with topics and answers (moving, splitting, merging, approval, etc.) are available from the frontend.

Thanks, but it work only if text between code is on one row. If someune post log test separated by rows, then didnt work properly.
Any idea how to fix ?

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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 twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

I suspect an update has caused a conflict

The “bbpress topics for posts” plugin does still work, I use it extensively on my site and have done for over 3 years.

Forums

I’m currently running WP 4.9.2 and whatever the latest version of BBPress is in Prod and in test I’ve just installed WP 4.9.3 and it’s looking ok under that as well.

One thing that does need doing for the plugin is to bring it up to PHP7.x compatibility.

ok, we need to do some tests

can you contact me via my website

I imported forums and that went fine.

I imported topics and they do not show in any forums. I re-save topics and they show up in forums. But having to save over 1,400 topics is a problem.

I have not yet imported replies but based on other people’s problems this is also going to be an issue. I cannot re-save over 15,000 replies to have them show up in topics.

This is using the WordPress built in export and import.

I have tried disabling all plugins except bbpress. I have tried saving permalinks. Nothing has worked.

I have tried the latest bbpress version, I have tried the RC version and I have tried the beta version. All with the same results.

@adchix Did you try to import in bbPress v2.6 ? The import procedure have been reviewed so you might have more luck.
Try to install v2.6 from https://bbpress.org/download/ in a test environment.

Just realised what might be causing some confusion but the problem still seems to exist.

I am using a plugin to hide the forums so they are private. Thats why when your not logged in you see a bbpress message that I have modified to say you need to login (Think it said there are no forums here by default).

I have now made some of the forums available to the public in the hope that might work but I just tested. Went to the site, loaded the forum, logged in, went back to the forum and I have to refresh the page/cache before I can see the form to post a new topic.

Its not just my local cache either, someone else had the same problem.

Feel like I am missing something stupid! Gravity forms is powering my registration process if that makes any difference?

[jamesp4578]

Is there a way for forum users to flag abusive posts (like a Twitter-style ‘Report tweet’ function)?

I tried the plugin “Safe Report Comments” and a later fork, but they didn’t work.

(I’m on the latest WP/bbPress.)

[jemar707]

Yes, that forced it to close. I can’t see manually doing that for many more. 40 or so, yeah no biggie. But as I move forward, that just can’t seem like any fun.

I tested to see if I could do anything with the topic now – and sure enough, it’s stuck closed. Almost seems like it is locked for editing.

[Robin W]

yes, I frequently have multiple users on different browsers on my one PC when I am testing

Hi @process_of_illumination ,
I see you have found the functions that you need.

Try to avoid adding 5 functions if you can do it in 1, so at least change it to:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_favorites() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_topic_tag() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_profile() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

Of course the shortest way would be:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_favorites() || bbp_is_topic_tag() || bbp_is_single_user_replies() || bbp_is_single_user_profile() || bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

Hi Robin,
Sorry for the late reply. I had a health issue that set me back a few weeks. I did some testing on a vanilla WordPress install this morning, and it looks like this issue affects standard BBPress as well. Here’s what I did:

1.) Set up a local WordPress installation. Added Buddypress, BBPress and WP Mail Logging as the only plugins (latest versions on everything).
2.) Created several users and a forum. Logged in with each user account and subscribed it to the forum.
3.) Went to Settings->Discussion from the WP Dashboard and set it to hold a comment in the moderation queue if it has one or more hyperlinks
4.) Created a new topic that had no hyperlinks (i.e., did not go to moderation). WP Mail Logging showed that a new topic notification was sent and all subscribed users were BCC’d on the email.
5.) Created a new topic with a hyperlink. The topic went to moderation.
6.) Approved/published the topic with an admin account. No new topic notification email was sent.

Another issue is that new topics that are added directly from the Dashboard (i.e., by going to Dashboard->Topics->New Topics) also did not generate a new topic notification. The moderation approvals have to be done from the backend/Dashboard, so maybe these two issue are related?

Thanks again for your help with this! The moderation plugin author finally did get back to me and said they’ve added the issue to their backlog, but now I’m wondering if this is something that should be fixed in standard BBPress?

If necessary, the site owner I’m working said they might be willing to pay directly to get this issue fixed. However, their company is a small non-profit, so they probably won’t have a lot of extra funds for this sort of thing.

Hi,

I think I understood a little how it works and came out with this:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa5_add_noindex' );
function casiepa5_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_favorites() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}
 
add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa4_add_noindex' );
function casiepa4_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa3_add_noindex' );
function casiepa3_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_profile() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa2_add_noindex' );
function casiepa2_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_topic_tag() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

I tested it and it seems ok.

Do you think it is the correct procedure?

Thanks,

the Process

PS: could you please remove the picture with the link to my test site? Thanks 🙂

[Robin W]

ok, let’s see if this works

This just adds an action on any post save and if it is a forum and has no post parent, we add your default one

AGAIN THIS IS UNTESTED !!

add_action( 'save_post', 'add_forum_id' );

function add_forum_id( $post_id ) {
	//get post type and post parent id
	$post_type = get_post_type($post_id) ;
	$post_parent = wp_get_post_parent_id ($post_id) ;
	//if it's a forum and has no post parent (allows for normal topic creation, and other posts type creation etc.)
	if ($post_type == bbp_get_forum_post_type() && (empty ($post_parent))) {
		// Update topic (post) 1234  forum (post) 321
		$my_post = array(
			'ID'           => $post_id,
			'post_parent'   => 31086,
		);

		// Update the post into the database
		wp_update_post( $my_post );
	}

}

[Robin W]

Forums and Topics are totally separate custom post types, correct?

Yes.

I am reticent to start delving into this plugin – there are hundreds of thousand of plugins in wordpress and I only go into those that are specifically bbpress and then only a few of those – it can take a day easily to look at and understand a plugins code 🙂

There is a hook in topic creation that you could use

The following code is untested, but you could put this in your functions file. You must be able to edit that file outside of wordpress (ie NOT using dashboard>appearance>editor) in case it errors so you can amend it.

add_action( 'bbp_new_topic_pre_extras', 'new_topic_id', 10, 1 );

function new_topic_id ($forum_id=0) {
	if (empty ($forum_id)) $forum_id  = 31086 ;
	return $forum_id ;
}

This will put any topic that doesn’t have a forum into that forum.

[Stephen Edgar]

This plugin supports posting to bbPress by email https://github.com/rmccue/falcon

It’s out of date and needs some testing and reporting what does and doesn’t work

If anyone could help with the I could help get any code changes required added 🙂

[Pascal Casier]

I just added this on my test site:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_profile() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

And I when I go to the profile of a user (in my case /forums/users/user1/), I now correctly find:
<meta name='robots' content='noindex,follow' />

Could you have a check on your side?

[Robin W]

and the one that doesn’t will have something different about it.

either delete the identical site and start again with it, or carry out the tests above, which will help narrow where the error could lie.

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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 twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back
