Hi. I’m working with bbpress in a child theme, and I’m having a couple of strange issues in a remote environment that I think I can’t reproduce locally.

One is related to Profile pages. If I log as a certain user and then visit other user profile (in my case, the administrator profile), the displayed page may not be the correct one. Let me explain:

I worked with admin user a lot, but sometimes I log with a subscriber role in order to develop different contents, meaning the admin can see things than subscribers cannot. Well, being a subscriber suddenly I can see button that I shouldn’t see when visiting the admin page. And more: the “welcome username” message is wrong, showing the admin name instead of the subscriber.

Conclusion: some pages are some-way cached. Editing them via FTP and saving again the files solves the issue.

Second issue: the topic count (bbp_forum_topic_count method) sometimes displays the wrong number of topics if I previously deleted some. In my case, I deleted 5 topics. But the counter was wrong. So I went to Topics->Trash, removed just one permanently an now to count works just fine.

So, for this second issue I’d like to know if there’s a bbpress cache for counting or something.

Notice my remote environment doesn’t have any cache enabled. And I don’t have any wordpress cache plugin installed. And also as I’m developing I have rules in .htaccess to avoid cache as much as I can. But anyway something is going on and I can’t trust my installation until I discover what it is.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all, searched the forums for how to prevent spam registrations, and most of the posts were from 2008-2009.
I’m getting a lot of them every day, is there a WP plugin that will work to prevent this, or do I need to close registrations?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hello !
I’m very new at BBp, and I have a request … I’m creating a forum for a friend, and previously he had a forum on xooit. In this xooit stuff, you can select who is the moderator of a forum, sub-forum etc. But in WP I can only set a global moderator role. Is there somewhere a plugin, or something i missed that could allow the administrator me set a user as moderator for one or more topics/forums ?

Thank you so much for helping, I’m lost 🙂

I have a fairly large vbulletin 4.0.3 forum (sql dump installed locally), and am currently testing importing it into bbPress on a local xampplite install. I have a clean install of WordPress 4.3.1 and latest bbPress. Running the importer, it has run through 1600 users, 1300 topics and so far 4200 replies (100 at a time), at which it has paused, with the wheel turning happily. My question is, what’s causing the pause? Are there limits (such as sql queries per hour) that I can change to speed up the process? And if so, where do I change them? Given it’s a local install, I’m not worried about performance impact if I allocate max resources to this task. Any info welcome!

And how long should I let it spin before deciding it’s stuck and terminating it?

TIA

I’m using bbPress’s “favorite” feature as “like” feature in other social networks in my application. Is there a function which would allow me to count the number of users whom “favorited” a topic? I’m also interested in counting the number of subscribed users for a particular topic as well. I’ve looked into /bbpress/includes/topics/templates.php but did not find any and wondering if you’re aware of any.

Thanks.

I updated to bbPress 2.5.8. I’m using Simplepress 5.5.11 with this. Since then, the boxes for my “search” function in the forum are no longer showing up. Also the box at the bottom of each new topic has a box for a simple “Captcha” math problem and the box for that is no longer showing up to my users anymore. Not sure if it is a text setting or a layout issue, but the line around the text that framed the search area as a “box” is now missing.

Basically there should be a “box” for the user to type keywords into the search field. It’s technically there, but my users can’t see it. (It’s just not visible to them) The “SEARCH” used to be like a header area with boxes around showing where to type. It was highlighted real nicely. Wondering if this is something in the preferences section that was automatically reset during the last update? Where would I fix that?

——-

In addition, when a user goes to reply to a topic, that’s when the “captcha” box comes up. The users are telling me it won’t let them post, but they are just not seeing the “box” for the captcha math entry. It is there, but they are not seeing it. It’s where my finger is directly under the 6+4. There used to be a prominent box there that has disappeared in the last update I did. Any ideas on the settings that I might need to adjust?

*I’m a rookie when it comes to bb Press, so the more step by step you can give me the better.

I’m using bb Press 2.5.8 with Simplepress 5.5.11. When I upgraded to this newest version of bb Press, the search function in my forum stopped working. It just gives me an error every time I try to search for something at the top of the forum. General search box It says “ERROR 404 – page not found” regardless of what I type in. It’s just not registering with my forum at all.

In addition, when I click “search” within one of my forum categories (I have like 8 subforums) I get a different error message that says”The forum is empty” and “oh brother no topics were found here” I have thousands of posts in my forum though. The rest of my forum seems to be working correctly.
It is weird cause it pulls up one of our users (Jay Kruz) everytime we search in one of the subforums (This user is not an admin- just a subscriber). I’ve even tried by logging in through multiple profile names and this person’s same user name always shows up. (I’ve never logged in as him – and he is not spam, but someone I know) No forum posts show up regardless of what I search by.

Anyone have any suggestions on what I can try to remedy this problem?

Any ideas?

When I set up bbpress first locally on my computer, I managed to get all pages for bbpress full width with no sidebars. I simply went to Theme options and set all pages and posts to default full page width tempates.
Now I am setting up bbpress on a live site. bbpress forum pages display correctly in full width, but to my unpleasant surprise the user profile page displays with a sidebar. I simply can’t get rid of the sidebar and make the page full width. This is very disappointing for me – can someone help, please? I spent so much time getting it ready beforehand and i was hoping that I would not encounter any more hurdles. Thank you.

Hi,

I’d like to know if it would be possible to get a preview of posts that are in the spam folder. I have the function in WordPress.
Akismet is quite sure but I’d like to check out for guests are allowed to post and my own posts as a guest had been sent in the spam folder.

I thank you in advance
Regards
