bbp style pack not playing nice with elementor

Published on June 23rd, 2025 by farrahhenleyeducation

I have installed bbpress and am using elementor pro with the Hello Elementor theme. I am also using Simple Membership. I installed the bbp style pack as well but that plugin broke the rest of my site layout. I have created a POST TEMPLATE in elementor that has been applied to posts in a category and once the bbp style pack plug in is activated, that template is broken. Deactivating the plugin puts the post format back. Any idea why this is happening?

Mentions in BBPress

Published on June 22nd, 2025 by Earl_D

Spent the better part of the day looking for a plug-in or code that supports mentions in BBPress topics and replies. I found lots of references to plugins that don’t work anymore and tried code that does work either.

Does anyone have viable alternatives.
Thanks

BUG(?) – allowing title/content with disallowed words

Published on June 18th, 2025 by scmsteve

We had a rash of spam coming into our form today and we were confused because even after adding keywords in to the “Disallowed Comment Keys” in WordPress we were still seeing posts making it through to the forums that contained words we put into that list.

I think I found a bug in bbPress, and man, it must be rather longstanding… I found a post in the forum from about two years ago that talked about the reworking of the blacklist to using the disallow list [or that the name of the list had changed], and maybe this crept in at that time.

Here is the code:

bbpress/includes/common/functions.php:
866 // Strict mode uses WordPress “blacklist” settings
867 if ( true === $strict ) {
868 $hook_name = ‘blacklist’;
869 $option_name = ‘disallow_keys’;

In actuality, the key name in the options table is ‘disallowed_keys’.

I changed the code on our site and it seems to have stopped the flood. Would you take a look and see if I am correct about this? If not, please let me know and I will revert our copy and apologize for the false alarm. 🙂

Thanks!
Steve

Delete spam users

Published on June 14th, 2025 by Ricsca2

I’m cleaning up an old abandoned forum…
It has over 60,000 members but few are real users and have written posts.
Is there a way to delete all users who have not written posts?
Chatgpt wrote me this script and it seems to have worked but if anyone has another safer and tested method I prefer it.
Thanks

DELETE u, um
FROM wp_users u
LEFT JOIN wp_usermeta um ON u.ID = um.user_id
LEFT JOIN wp_posts p ON u.ID = p.post_author AND p.post_type IN ('topic', 'reply')
WHERE p.ID IS NULL;

Where to add content after topic

I’m trying to develop a ratings plugin for bbpress, but the ratings will only show up for the replies, not the topics. Is there a special hook I need to use?
