Error: Can't Create or Reply to topics

Published on August 27th, 2013 by fontadoni

For some reason I get these messages when I try to create a new post in my forum:

ERROR: Invalid author name submitted!
ERROR: Invalid email address submitted!
ERROR: The following problem(s) have been found with your topic:

I get this even when I’m logged in as admin or moderator. Any ideas on what’s going on? It had been working fine. I don’t remember installing any new plugins or changing any settings. Tried this on two different browsers.

limit access to special forums for user groups

Published on August 27th, 2013 by ps3hero

bbpress: 2.3.2
wordpress: 3.6
– – – – – – – – –

what i need:
wordpress has 6 user groups, thats nice, but i nedd 3 additional user groups:

– Forum User A
– Forum User B
– Forum User C

i have 3 Forums (you guess it: “forum A (bananas)”, “forum B (Apples)” and “forum C (Peaches)”.
i create all users and send them their access per mail.

i want to add these users to one of these groups, some to two of these groups and some to all groups. if a user in in group “Forum A” he can only access “forum a (bananas). means that the users can only access the forums i allow them.

is there a way to do this?

Display only 5 recent topics and show certain forums?

Published on August 26th, 2013 by

Hi Everyone!

For my main forum homepage or the archive i want to display different forums into sections rather than having a list of forums that is the bbpress default.

So this is the code used to display all the forums,

<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum(); ?>

	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-forum' ); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

So how would i add some arguments to this to display certain forums from there ID’s?

Also on the main page i want to show 5 recent topics, i believe the loop code is this,

<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>

	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

If anyone has managed to use a custom loop using the above code to display 5 recent topics or a custom WP_Query, i’ll be very grateful if you could show some example code.

Kind Regards

Why do shortcodes do nothing?

Published on August 26th, 2013 by Ocelot0526

On this page https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ they say “To use any of the shortcodes simply insert the desired shortcode into any WordPress page.”

So far I’ve tried these three


  • Oh, bother! No topics were found here.

nothing happens except they show up as text. Why?

Can't add Forum to Menu in WP 3.6

Published on August 26th, 2013 by Lesa

I recently upgraded to WordPress 3.6. In 3.5, I was able to add Forums to the menus but this feature doesn’t seem to be available in 3.6. Can you tell me how to add a forum to a menu? This is an important feature for my site.

Moderating bbPress forum

Published on August 26th, 2013 by DanaJo27

Currently using bbPress 2.3.2 … Is there a way to just screen and moderate the posts of select users, as opposed to having to screen the posts of every user? There can be hundreds of comments posted daily, and we’re too busy to monitor them all, but would like to monitor the few who are inclined to push the limits of forum decorum.

bbPress 2.3.2 malfunction

Published on August 26th, 2013 by DanaJo27

Currently using bbPress 2.3.2 Forum plugin ( http://batgap.com/forums/ ) … Every time any given thread exceeds 30 plus pages, it starts to malfunction. After writing a post, and hitting ‘Submit,’ instead of refreshing the latest page where the new comment appears, the poster is redirected back to page one. Also happens when clicking on the link to the latest comment, or the links contained in email notifications. Only way back to the latest page, is by actually clicking on the page number.

Is there any fix for this issue? Other than staring a new thread.
