Hello there,

after updating to v2.6.6 it seems that bbpress has tightened some security settings when posting a reply or creating a new topic which includes one or more links to different websites.

When posting a new topic a message shows up with: “This topic is pending moderation”.

But when posting a reply no message shows up for the user when the reply is pending moderation.

This is very confusing for the user because for him it seems that the reply couldn’t be sent or saved or whatsoever.

How can a user be notified when a reply is pending moderation?

Does the admin receives an email regarding pending moderations for topics/replies?

Kind regards,
Anke

This plugin still works

bbPress – Moderation Tools

on the ‘security settings’ – these are as set in

dashboard>settings>disucussion>comment moderation where you can increase the no. links allowed

Hi Robin,

Thanks for your reply. We figured out that uploaded images are also counting as links so for some of our clients it means that they would have to increase the no. of links allowed. But by doing so this will apply to blog posts as well.

But this should be handled seperately. How can an admin use custom comment moderation settings for forums than for blog posts?

And still – if a topic is pending moderation a message for the user is showing up. But if an answer is pending moderation no message shows up. That one should be looked into it as well shouldn’t it?

This is a free product – it does what it does 🙂
