bbPress.org

Suppose now we allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies (anonymous posting)

Suppose that my forum has a member “John” registered with email address: john@site.com

Now if an Anonymous fill john@site.com as the email address when posting, the post will show up with the post Author as John (but in fact it is not John)

I find this is a bug not only in bbPress but also in WordPress comment.

Hope that will be resolved in the next release.

Hello, I just installed bbPress a couple of hours ago, but I’ve been reading and struggling to make it work!
I changed the Theme Packages from bbPress Default to TwentyTen but it looked horrible.
Why is the bbPress Default not working? Nothing is showing up…
Here is the direct link to the forums, http://techandmake.com/forums/ and here is a topic example http://techandmake.com/forums/topic/envios-en-monterrey/

Please help!

Hi everybody,

After a long “war” with spams in lost in end. I cant prevent them with plugins or even ban IP on .htaccess.

Now, I’m planing to close new registration, and to leave forum like it is, no new posts.

I have deleted code from register.php but again bot get registered on forum, I dont really know how they do it, since humans sent me emails why cant register on forum.

Anyway, I need help to stop them!!!!

if is needed here is forum im talking about
http://www.deluxetemplates.net/forums/

I have the bbpress plugin installed in my custom theme and everything works great, except that I can’t get users to post topics and replies without me approving it all the time. I need some kind of control where if approved once there’s no need for approving every time. For some reason, I’m not getting that, i read a in a few places and seen that it could be done, but its not working for me. Everytime it says it’s pending and the admin needs to approve it. I changed the role to a user and tried even forum moderator and I’m able to moderate but when i create a new topic or reply using that role it’s still needs to be approved. I even used a plugin called bbPress Moderation and it still doesn’t do what it says. How can I change this?

1. I’d like to display how old a topic is when it’s loaded, like I want it to say the freshness without the linkage. So like ’54 days ago’ but no linking. Anyone know what the command for that is? I mean what do I call? I’ve tried the freshness_link but that provides just that, a link. I just want the text without the link.

2. I want to display the users name with the @ for a reply to. Is there a function to call for that?

Does this plugin work at all?

So, after a fresh installation, I click , New > Forum and I get an error – “Invalid post type”

Is this normal behaviour for this plugin? Or is there some secret protocol for getting this thing working?

thanks,

Hi there,

I just installed bbPress, and I’m logged in as an Administrator.

When I clicked the “Edit > Forums” menu link, I get the error “Cheatin’ uh?”

What does this mean, and how do I fix it?

Cheers,

Hello,
A few weeks ago, after I updated WP and bbpress, I noticed that I couldn’t see post content in the forums any more, nor could I see and information in the columns labeled “freshness” “voices”, etc.

I’ve finally realized that it is visible in IE, but not in Safari, Firefox or Chrome.

Does anyone know why this would be?

hi there,

I just installed bbPress and was exploring the options for themes. On the website, the button for “Themes” redirects to “https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/themes/” which contains a 3 year old thread to a third party website. Why make visitors go through that? Why not just link to the external website directly if thats the only repository? It just makes it more confusing for newcomers…plus as a newcomer if I see a three year old thread my confidence goes way down about the plugin.

I went to http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes to download some of those additional themes for bbPress.

1. Only some of the themes had a “Download” link. How do I access those themes without the download link?
   For example, I want to download Hellish Simplicity. When I click the “Website” link, I’m taken to a WordPress theme, not a bbPress theme.
2. Do I install the Hellish Simplicity WordPress theme in the bbPress/my-templates/ folder or my themes folder? The instructions at https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/themes-and-templating/ suggest that i put in the bbPress folder. But this is confusing…

I’m looking forward to using bbPress and hope that these questions are easily answered!

thanks everyone,

Hey guys,

I know this has been asked quite a few times as I have come across a few posts. The problem I have is this:

I am using the Fancy Editor on the front end to edit bbPress replies and topics.

If as a forum user I edit my post using the visual tab then nofollow is applied to the link as required. If as a forum admin I edit my post using visual or html tab then nofollow is applied aswell.

The issue comes when I go to save my post as a forum user using the html tab and type out my link tag. This will not apply a nofollow to the reply/topic.

I have this inside a custom plugin already:

add_filter('post_author_link', 'bb_rel_nofollow');
add_filter('post_text', 'bb_rel_nofollow');

Thanks for any help.
