Where can we report spammers? alicebrownnl has spammed a thread that I am following.

I’ve done the following steps:

1. Checked Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums  
2. Created a Group Forum
3. Selected Group Forum  is the parent for all group forums
4. In Buddypress,unchecked Discussion Forums component.
5. In Group / Admim / Forum, created a new forum.

Upon completion of creating a new forum in group, I got redirect to Group Forum directory under bbpress page instead of group Forum tab. Under the group Forum tab, it shows This group does not currently have any forums.
I need some help to get things set up right. Thanks!

bbpress is the best thing, thanks for the open source, free, forums. bbpress underwent complete revamping, have the spam content and users been addressed?
does akismet help?
another thing does bbpress build indexes? so that a scan could be run and entries could be somehow be flagged!
love bbpress, looking forward to some fix for this problem, thanks JJJ, BG and others!

Hi,

I have installed BBPress, in my current registration page I have the code

Create an Account

• Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.
• We use your email address to email you a secure password and verify your account.

Username:

Email:

Register

which works and lets a user register. However the only fields here are to choose a username and enter email, where an password is automatically sent. What I need is to have an password field which the user enters, rather than having a generated one. I would also like other custom fields such as gender and age.

The form is located in form-user-register.php

Its fine to add the extra input boxes here and display, but I don’t know how these would get stored and saved.

Any help on how to make the custom fields save and which files to look at would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Is this something that has been offline for a few days or a few years? Any ETA on this? I’ve only just seen the notice on the page hence why I’m asking.

hi – using wp 3.3.1 BBP – 2.0.2 i’m running into problems when editing replies. when i save it loses it’s parent association as the content of the TOPIC pulldown field usually says (no topic) –

we have many many topics but they dont default when in the edit screen.
is this a BBPress bug and/or has this been fixed in the newer releases?

(i believe we lose the original author reference also.)

thanks!

I’m really surprised no recent plugin exists that will allow users to subscribe to a forum, not just topics. I have a small membership site so email flooding is not really an issue. I want my members to be able to subscribe to a Forum (say called Recipes) so that they will receive an email whenever a new topic is created in that forum. Has anyone out there implemented such a thing?

I looked into BuddyPress groups, but that’s way more complicated than I need things to be. I want a nice simple bbPress forum w/ the option to subscribe to forums.

Thanks in advance,
Regis

Hello,
I just receive my first comment on a Page (not post) since having the activity stream, and see that it doesn’t show up there. Is there a way to make sure that Page comments also make it into the stream?

I’ve inherited a site that used to run bbpress. Apparently it was overrun with spammers in the 2009 timeframe and, even though the previous admin removed bbpress and stopped using it, there are 36,486 rows in the wp_users table, with only 4.290 that actually have roles on the site. Looking over the users with no roles through wp-admin, I can see these IDs are truly bogus.

There does not appear to be consistency of meta_keys in wp_usermeta for users with no roles and users WITH roles on the site. With 1,825 pages of users, scrolling through and deleting them that way would/could take hours so I want to write a SQl statement that will drop all users without roles from the database, just to clean things up.

Has anyone done this before? How can I structure a SQL query that will isolate and remove all IDs and the associated meta data for users with no site role?

Thank you so much, in advance, for any ideas or suggestions that are helpful.

I asked the same question at wordpress.org forum and was directed to ask here. The link from that thread is:

Is there a way I can make the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” box at the bottom of posts auto-checked so Users could uncheck if they don’t want to be notified instead of having to check it to be notified? Thanks!
