Is there a plugin or at least a way to do this? Basically I want a certain forum, to where a user posts and their posts do not count as an increase of their post count. Is this at all possible?
And if it is, but no plugin is available, and one were to create a plugin, what settings would one have to change with that plugin?
I just started a new forum with bbpress 1.0.2. Akismet is catching spam and deleting the posts but the tags left by the spammers don’t get deleted.
So I had a couple of questions: first, is this a common problem and second, is there a way round it?
I’ve just installed the Human Test plug-in which will hopefully keep the bots off the forum but still won’t keep any human spammers away.
Thanks for any assistance.
hey guys,
i wonder if it’s possible to link to the LATEST Post by any user in any forum on the frontpage of my forum. if i click it i don’t want to simply link to the forum where the latest post was written in but link to the post itself with the hash-value
e.g. myforum.com/topic.php?id=1&replies=33#post-40
how can i do that! thank you for your help!
I don´t know if they are spambots or human spammers, but they are registering at a rate of every day now. And creating senseless topics used ford mustangs and stuff.
They are normally registered on Gmail with emails like this:
c.am.e.ron.n.e.dic.iml.i.n.e.r@gmail.com
farl.eyd.a.rr.i.ck@gmail.com
I do not run Akismet, because it messes things up, but I do run the plugin Human Test. So they are getting past that. But since they are so very similiar in their postings, names and email adresses, I assume they are bots.
If I could manually accept all registered users before they could post, this would not happen. But what can I do to prevent them from spamming my forum. Whatever they are?
hey guys,
is it possible to just display the #main div on my bbpress website if users looged in? i don’t want to simply hide it with css, because i’m able to do that.
however i thought of something like starting in the header with:
<?php if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
<div id=”main”>
….
and ending in the footer
</div> <!– #main –>
<?php endif; ?>
however, i’m always getting an error. any idea how i can solve that problem?
i just want to display the login form and the register-link if users are logged out, nothing else, not even stuff in the footer – no header image, nothing at all.
thank you for your help!
Hello,
Currently, the name-based forum permalinks must have a trailing ‘/’ – this is fair enough, but it gets seriously bad when one is typing in forum URLs and forgets the trailing ‘/’, only to be slapped down with an unhelpful 404 error. Ouch.
I modified the .htaccess, moving the section commented ‘forums’ down under the ‘topics’ section (so the catch-some rewrite rule I added doesn’t wipe that out), then added a rule that redirects URLs that address a path within the forum root, sans a trailing slash and not corresponding to an actual file, to the same path with a trailing ‘/’.
Like so:
# forums
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA] # tailed '/' is mandatory for forum URIs! Props: Mohta
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ $1/ [L,R=301] # redirect to forum URL if trailing / skipped
I’m not 100% sure why this isn’t already in place – I may have missed some of the rationale. But it seems to work for me.
Hi. I am setting up integration with Word Press. On the integration page in the bbPress admin, it says:
This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “auth_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “auth_salt” in this WordPress admin page.
“in this word press page” links to :
[wordpress folder]/[bbpressfolder]/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php#
but there is no “auth_salt” anywhere on this page.
One thing i notice is that it says the option is in my wordpress site, but the page it takes me to is part of bbPress.
I need something like «bbPress post» plugin. But only for «Discuss» link on every post in my wordpress blog. Link must create topic for discuss. First post in bbpress topic must be content from post in wordpress blog where link was clicked.
Looks like «bbPress post» is not available by now – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-post-003
Sorry for my bad english 
Hi. My site has bbpress integrated into wordpress. I’ve added bbpm plugin so that private messaging is enabled in the forum section. Trouble is recipients can’t read their received PM’s because they are not displayed in wordpress admin.

Anyone know of a solution or workaround?
hey guys,
i’m completely new to bbpress but i really like it.
i have two little problems i need to solve and than i’m good to go.
is it possible that bbpress isn’t quite working with subdomains?
i created a subdomain on my server
myforum.mydomain.com -> links to -> mydomain.com/myforum
however as soon as i call my subdomain in the browser almost everything works except that i get the “Page not found!” page that comes with bbpress.
do you guys have an idea how i could fix that. the normal mydomain.com/myforum works perfect.
thank you and regards
sepp
