Stopping spam and front end sign up?

Published on September 29th, 2015 by jamnuova

What is the best way to get users to sign up to your site without letting automated spam bots in and to make things frontendy?

I have searched and searched yet the only option I can find are those premium plugins (which have many vulnerabilities in them).

what I want to to do is simple:

Have a front end registration page with fields for login, password, why does this person want to join… and a custom captcha question… and then somewhere in the admin panel I want to be able to just approve or decline users based on what they put in the why do you want to join field.

I also want to make this the only place for users to register from… else spammers will just use the normal wordpress sign up to get access.

How can I go about doing all of this?

Please help.

Thank you.

Simple adding a Login/Logout to the menu

Published on September 29th, 2015 by mica123

Simple adding a Login/Logout to the menu is an example listed in the bbpress documentation on Layout and functionality examples you can use.
This solution adds “Login” or “logout” at the end of the menu. I am trying to do that – I have succeeded partially as I have two menus: header and submenu. I would like to add the “Login” or “logout” links to the submenu but failed. If I use the code as it is, it attaches the links to both menus. If I try to qualify the menu in the code it does nothing. I would need the links for both logged in and not logged in users.
I asked this question before on this forum but have not had a reply. I hope this time somebody will be able to help. Many thanks.

Hi All,

I have data as below

Hi there I am not sure if this has been asked before but seems like something that would be really useful. I want to give users the option of choosing a priority for their new post.

How can I do this?

Import from bbPress2 to bbPress2

Published on September 28th, 2015 by Danny

I know there’s an Export option for Forums in WordPress’s default Export menu.

But when I viewed the Import options under Tools > Import Forums, there was only bbPress1.

Which brings me here to ask, how do you import a forum from a bbPress2 to another bbPress2 ?

Custom table

Published on September 28th, 2015 by avantsi

Hello.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to specify table to which BBpress would use for posts?

I would like to share BBpress across multi-sites and this is the only option that came to my mind.

Thank you for any info.

User profile

Published on September 27th, 2015 by mica123

I am sure this question has been asked many times before. I just don’t seem to get a straightforward answer. I need to set up a bbpress user profile (not the WordPress user profile). I don’t have widgets. Where is the bbpress user profile located and how do I get a link to it? It would be nice to have this in the menu together with the login/logout/register and lost password links as well.
Thank you.

Customizing response field (change the position)

Published on September 27th, 2015 by Bitenca

Hello,
I’m new to bbPress and am looking for a solution to this customization.

Imagine a topic with several answers. If you want to respond directly to a message that is in the middle of the page as soon as you click on the button to answer, the page will scroll to the end, to the response field.

Is there any plugin or modifications that may be made to make the response field appear just below the message we want to answer?

Many thanks to anyone who can help me.

Lost passowrd page conflicts with Woocommerce Theme and Chinese username issues

Published on September 27th, 2015 by artstellars.com

Hi bbpress team, thanks for creating such good forum product. It’s a great plugin that I can create my own forum easily. There’re two questions. First one is the lost password page doesn’t work when I activated the Woocommerce theme but if I de-active the Woocommerce the lost password page works! I do need Woocommerce to show my gallery. My url is: http://artstellars.co.nz/lost-password/

Another question is the Chinese username registration by bbpress. it says “ERROR: This username is invalid because it uses illegal characters. Please enter a valid username.” if I register using a Chinese as a username. Is there any pacth can work around this?

I am using the latest version of bbpress v.2.5.8, Woocommerce v.2.4.7 and WordPress v.4.3.1. Thanks.
