Thank you!! It worked!!..I had to specifically select which parts related to the bbpress, and it blocked everything except the forum..which was what I wanted & needed!…Thank you again.

It’s my theme and I code WordPress themes for like 5 years now but I don’t see myself as a Developer it’s more a hobby 🙂

I’m solid at HTML-CSS and can read PHP when I see it happen but I can’t write PHP it out of the box.

This error shows up when I try to hide a complete xProfile-group-ID or just an unique xProfile-field-ID from the loop.

This is what I did.
Inside: my-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php
I found the start of the loop

<?php if ( bp_has_profile() ) : ?>
....

My first thought was, maybe there are default options here to control the output of which ID’s will be visible so I started the search how the bp_has_profile() was build and looked into plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-template.php and found this at line 150:

....

$defaults = array(
	'user_id'             => bp_displayed_user_id(),
	'profile_group_id'    => false,
	'hide_empty_groups'   => true,
	'hide_empty_fields'   => $hide_empty_fields_default,
	'fetch_fields'        => true,
	'fetch_field_data'    => true,
	'fetch_visibility_level' => $fetch_visibility_level_default,
	'exclude_groups'      => false, // Comma-separated list of profile field group IDs to exclude
	'exclude_fields'      => false  // Comma-separated list of profile field IDs to exclude
);

This looks very familiar to bbPress so my first thoughts was lets try to add one of those Array’s to the loop and overwrite the default value.
Just like this.

<?php if ( bp_has_profile( array ( 'exclude_groups' => 1 ) ) ) : ?>
...

This works perfect, it hides all xProfile-fields from the first Base primary Tab (back-end). Just like I wanted it because I didn’t want all the fields to show up front-end, I’ve got a few xProfile-fields that I use for user-customization of the profile-page. Each user can add color-codes to change the default menu-color and add background-images to their profile-page to make each profile a little more unique.
Those field-ID’s are just urls or color-codes and don’t have to be visable to the public, thats why I try to hide them front-end.

Hi thank you for replying,

No I have other plugins as well mostly BBPress,WooCommerce, and a couple of slider plugins,also WordPress SEO.

Its a premium theme and has support for BBPress but not buddypress hes working on it now.

I believe my permalinks are not default.
My structure is set at: /%category%/%postname%/
My base is set to: /shop/%product_cat%

I believe when I installed the theme the instructions were to change them to that so the permalinks would look good.

Just did. I switched to Twenty Twelve and deactivated all the plug-ins but BBPress and BuddyPress.

“You cannot create new topics.”

No chance. Unless I join the Group, I can’t post anything.

Well little succes now, but still not working smoothly:

sidebar login widget ” bbpress login widget” shows nice litte form in sidebar, and a “register” and “lost password” links both to proper page.

Using the sidebar login widget’s form fields to login, nothing happens, after hitting login button it just redirects to login page, where however you can login. When after logging in on that page it just reloads the login page again with the message “you are allready logged in”

register link = all works fine, mail sent also activate links works. After acivated there is no succes action or page, it just loads the login page again and tells “u are allready logged in”

forgot password link= all works fine, also the login credentials are send by mail, beside that nothing happen beside the “forgot password “page just reloads the login page again.

So almost there but stuck on this issue. Tried deactivate all plugins without result.

What is it that I do just not see here?

Also built in buddypress forums says it jas been retired. So should i use both buddypress and Bbpress simultaneously? Will it cause any issues? As buddypress already contains Bbpress components is it necessary to install Bbpress along with buddypress?

OOPS… My last post was INCORRECT (there doesn’t seem to be a way to delete posts). I thought it was working to use a required xProfile field, but it just took longer to get going. The spam registrations started up again and I had to disable registrations.

SO, I’m still looking for help on how to diagnose the problem, or a work around for fixing it.

Can I re-install BuddyPress and/or bbPress without losing my settings?

Thanks, Rick.

OK, here’s a followup on my trying to find the source of the automated registrations.

— I disabled bbPress on the network plugins page.
— I renamed the following directories:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums
wp-content/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments
— enable registrations from the network admin settings

And… the automatic registrations CONTINUE.

— disable registrations (network admin) and the automatic reg stops

SO, it’s beginning to look like it is not bbPress. PLEASE ADVISE:

• Do you agree? Or is there some other possibility that will implicate bbPress?
• What other possibilities are there for by-passing registration protocols?

Here’s a followup on my progress in stopping the automated registrations. It turns out that my side issue (see my first post) was very important. I found a plugin called “unconfirmed” that gives you limited access to the user records with unconfirmed emails, including the ability to delete them. I had 7100 unconfirmed registrations. The plugin is not fully implemented, so I had to delete them about 20 at a time. (I figured I was not likely to find anything better, so I bit the bullet and deleted 300 groups of records.) Once deleted, the registrations stopped.

So here’s the analysis: there were thousands of pending registrations. For whatever reason, the automaton that started the registration process either could not respond to the email, or was designed to respond to the emails slowly.

So, now I have some time to diagnose the solution to the problem without the fear of my data base being flooded with crap.

Next I’ll try to disable bbPress to see if it’s the problem, but I really don’t want to delete it as I already have several forums configured. I’ll see if I can disable it without deleting it and then turn registrations back on at the network admin level to see if they start up again.
