>most people using forums expect to be able to insert images into their posts nowadays.

Agreed.

Because BuddyPress and bbPress are two separate plugins, don’t expect BuddyPress to address this issue.

I’ve never used it, but try the free version of
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

>To import the messages we are using the bbpress function messages_new_message( $args )

That is a BP function.
In it, near the bottom, you will see:
do_action_ref_array( 'messages_message_sent', array( &$message ) );
That is the hook to send email if the member has that Setting set to Yes.

The function messages_message_sent is in:
\buddypress\bp-messages\bp-messages-notifications.php

So you could use do_action_ref_array hook with a priority < 10 and strip out the recipients.

Or you could try a remove_action on
add_action( 'messages_message_sent', 'messages_notification_new_message', 10 );

I can confirm that I have the same issue. Admin users can see all groups, including the hidden groups, but the hidden groups are invisible for regular members in the BP Groups Widget.

Here is one relevant issue: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/showing-buddypress-hidden-group-forums-to-group-members-on-bbpress-forum-index/

>regular topic reply

You mean a forum reply? That, and quotes, would be a question for bbPress.

BBPress is great, you can make it just like any other forum, just needs a bit more time invested.

Right now I am working on a BuddyPress forum/theme you can have a look at: BBFacelook

After some research found this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topic-id-instead-of-slugs/
Looks like a temporary solution with zero-cyrillic-usage

Thank you Denis! Let me confirm this issue with better explanation in English.

If bbPress forum slugs are in cyrillic, following is happening while replying on some topic:

Let’s say I have set “тема” instead of “topic” and my new topic’s title is “Тема на русском” (“Topic in russian”). This topic’s url looks like http://www.myawsomenewforum.ru/тема/тема-на-русском/ and shows up just fine. Now let’s post a reply.

After hitting the “Reply” button an answer hash is being added just for a moment, following by redirect to the topic URL but already without “тема” in it. It gets stuck with a redirect loop on http://www.myawsomenewforum.ru//тема-на-русском/

After manual reload http://www.myawsomenewforum.ru/тема/тема-на-русском/ shows the answer on its place.

Thank you.

2Denis: поменять на английский можно, но ведь темы генерируются на русском, да еще и обрезаются до 40 символов. Винегрет, а есть другой способ?

Five minutes before he died, he was alive ! That’s life, my dear: nothing is never changing.

I would suggest to deactivate bp-custom if you use this file, and any custom functions.php and activate 2014. Then deactivate all plugins except BP and test the avatars output everywhere.
Than you reactivate bbPress and check again.

Regarding the notice, you have a plugin called twice or a template file who sends a second header.

@darkpsy,

is there a better way to do it?

If you expect some help, you have to tell what you already did on the way you mention.

As you built your own theme, you perhaps use this function outside of the bbPress scope ?
What does it give by using get_avatar() ?

Do you read this bbPress codex page ?

Maybe better you ask on bbPress forum – remember although bbPress is a standalone plugin, integrated with buddyPress.

@lmolenje,

BuddyPress works together with the bbPress plugin when you use a forum.

If you want to add an extra button or a link or whatever, you simply check for the hook you want to use in one of the bbPress template files (bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/…) and attach a custom function to it.

As example of use, this snippet will add some text above the topic editor. You add it into your child theme functions.php or into bp-custom.php

function my_test_insert() {
	echo '<strong>My awesome <a href="#">link</a> to third party app</strong>';
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_notices', 'my_test_insert' );

If you don’t understand what’s going on on this topic, here’s a brief tutorial about hooks and filters.

Hi @hcthomas,

if you already can’t edit your htaccess, how would handle an htpasswd file ?

Please indicate hostname and hostplan.
Can use FTP on your site or are you obligated to manage exclusively your site throught your host’s cPanel ?

Also ask on the bbPress forum, which is better indicated to answer forum related questions.

@fabius219,

bp_core_general_settings_before_submit is not a function but an action hook.

bp_core_general_settings_before_submit

@cwjordan, maybe interesting things to find

A bbpress half soluce :

force strong password at registration

For inspiration ? This old BP plugin…
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xtra-signup/
More recent
https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-security-solution/ (maybe not compatible with BP)

If not affraid of expirimentation:

For the fun, on @imath ‘s blog (in french), some code to study (php is in english)

BuddyPress Registration : mon expérience fumante !

I am assuming that you have bbpress installed on your wordpress. There are some bbpress widgets available for this purpose. Appearance>Widgets – look for those starting with (bbpress)

bbPress side of things https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2599

The workaround (for now until fixed) would be to verify the bbPress forum visibility and then to also run the bbPress repair tool “Recalculate private and hidden forums” to ensure meta data integrity.

BuddyPress uses the bbPress plugin for forums.
So you’re better off asking the question on https://bbpress.org/forums/

What you want may be possible, to start, see:

Hi @alainafrederick,

if you use bbpress shortcode [bbp-forum-index] for this page: http://jeepedin.com/forums/

replace it with this one [ bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id=4]
and add as many shortcode of this type for each forum you want to show on the forum index.

For ex:

[ bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id=4]
[ bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id=5]
[ bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id=7]
[ bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id=11]

forum-index fetches ALL forums, single-forum fetches only the forum you indicate by his ID.

Those notices are about bbpress, not buddypress.
Try asking on the bbpress support forums.
