Just curious, is there any way to have a registration and login system that is separate from WordPress? Like the kind they have at most forum websites where you input captcha, details about yourself, etc.

Hello Everybody.

I hope you understand my “german Englisch”.

I tried many many membership and capability plugins to empower bbpress. But with no success.
This is because bbpress has capabilities, but don´t used them the right way.

I am not a developer, so I don´t know, if everything I suggest is possible or not. But I know, for some of these features, that it worked for former versions of bbpress with plugins that are outdated for years.

What bbpress really needs are capabilities in this way (marking new capabilites with (*)):
When talking about forums, I mean forums and categories.

Forums/Categories

can_see_forum
can_see_thread

Threads

can_create_topic_in_forum (*)
can_edit_owntopic_in_forum (*)
can_edit_anytopic_in_forum (*)
can_delete_owntopic_in_forum (*)
can_delete_anytopic_in_forum (*)

Replies

can_create_reply_in_forum (*)
can_edit_ownreply_in_forum (*)
can_edit_anyreply_in_forum (*)
can_delete_ownreply_in_forum (*)
can_delete_anyreply_in_forum (*)

Moderators/Admins

Capabilites to create, edit, delete, move or split forums, threads and replies.

With these capabilites, bbpres itself or every capability addon could add members or groups to forums and categories.

This would make bbpress more like full featured forum software (vbulletin, burning board, phpbb and other) than it ever was.

I asked a developer a long time ago, how long it would take to build an extension or add this to the bbpress core features.

He said something like: BBPress is well coded. I think, adding these capabilities and rules to forums, adding some metaboxes for assigning groups, members or capabilites to forums post types.. I think a good developer could do this in no time.

Well… he is specialized in another section of wordpress plugins and not interested in creating for bbpress. But I think, every wordpress user and forum lover would love these features.

And I think, this is also a great way to prevent spam in forums. on non-english websites, most spam plugins block users that are definetly no spammers, because they search for things, that are not present in non english languages.

Hoping for feedback and… hope this can be realized.

Plugins I tried:
– press permit
– advanced access manager
– advanced capabilites manager
– s3members
– members
– and many many more (used keyword in wp repo: bbpress, member, access, restrict, capability, capablites, read, write, permission and more)

Hope for positive feedback

I’ve got a problem with Administrator / Keymaster and other roles when installing bbPress.

When setting up the site in 4.0 I created 2 administrators beside myself, and the rest of the members of the club I gave the roles of Authors or Editors (but in French Auteur and Editeur). When installing bbPress everyting screwd up. Suddenly everyone had the lowest role and the other administrators couldn’t log in to the Dashboard but of some reason my previliges as Administrator remaind. When attempting to give back the roles as Admins to the other 2 accounts, there where no Admin in the list to so I couldn’t give them that role. The highest role I could give them was Editor

I then deinstalled bbPress. My Administrator account then turned into Keymaster and the other two former Adminstrators turned into Editeurs (editor in French) but all the other members got their old roles.

So when now trying to give back the Administrors role to myslef (who is a Keymaster for the moment) and to the other 2 accounts there is no Administrator in the list just a mitchmach of roles in English and in French. What turnes up are (rmember that bbPress is deinstalled now):

* Abboné
* Participant
* Moderator
* Blocked
* Spectator
* Keymaster
* Contributeur
* Auteur
* Editeur

(FYI I have now upgraded WordPress to 4.0.1)

What is this all about. How do I give people the roles of Adminstrator ??? And why did the roles change in the first place ?

Hi there,

If you select “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” in WP – Settings – Readings then bbpress new topics and replies won’t be shown in Buddypress Activity.

Hi all,

I’d need to convert a bbpress-version 0.73 to the newest version.
Is there any converters etc that could do this?

I tried to use the bbpress-plugins importer and selected the old database as a source but I got an error saying that bb_meta-table is missing from db. I found out that this table has not been used in the earliest versions such as 0.73.

i think that these topics should be discussed in a guide for users in the codex.

How to Moderate in bbPress

Common Mistakes to Avoid

How to Moderate is for users who are brand new to dealing with a forum, and are not sure how to handle it.

Dealing with SPAM will definitely be useful because alot of users make topics about how to handle it.

SEO and bbPress , there is some topics about this subject and help optimizing it would be quite useful.

Common mistakes is useful too so that users know what not to do.

what do you guys think??

Hello! When i create page and permalink is post name, it’s create dreamblock.net/forums-2, not /forums.. What i doing wrong?

i am using wordpress 3.9.2 and bbPress 2.5.4-5380.
I want to change user role automatically based on total replies created by user, so when user reached the number of total replies it will change the user role automatically.
Is it possible to do that? How I can do that?

Hi People !

Since today i have a forum, and i use BBpress.

http://diablorunology.com/forums/

Look very nice and all, good job! very happy with BBpress.

Only the thing is i am using the login widget or any login for users, after failed login it redirects the user / subscriber to /wp-admin.php… thats not good, because it will shut me out because i use failed login attempt plugin, also i dont want them there to be redirected.

I dont want subscribers users to go to wp-admin after failed login, how can i fix this ?

Hi there,

I do ticking the option ” Notify me of follow-up replies via email” but I don’t receive any email after a member posting a new reply.
