Not just your plugins, but *any*.

It means you need to fix sessions on your server. If you don't know what that means ask the person who runs the server.

Is there any code that I should fix this problem?

It means sessions are not working properly on your server.

Thank you for making this plugin. However, my human test for bbpress plugin is only asking How much does 0+0? Only just 0+0 Always just 0+0 I saw some bbpress forums that run this plugin very successfully, so I guess my problem can be resolved, too. Thank you!

CK, Well I am not a coder, but since I am a "one man show" I do manage to make some successful tweaks when necessary because I have no choice. I guess you could say that I am experienced enough not to break anything even when I don't know what I'm doing.

You should not be editing core files, you won't be able to do this if you do not know how to code.

bbdan — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 03:27:30 +0000

Thank you CK. I found the line $permalink = apply_filters( 'bb_repermalink_result', $permalink, $location ); in functions.php and several lines above I see this: if ( $location == 'view-page' ) I tried replacing view-page with sth else, but nothing happens. I really don't understand what to do next. Please expand a bit if you have time (I only know HTML and CSS, I am not a programmer).

cruthas on "bb attachments"

Hey _ck_, I just downloaded the latest bb attachments and works great, except I have to put text into posts before adding an image. Is there anyway to just add photos without text in posts? Thanks very much in advance!

_ck_ on "Dealing with removed tags/404 error page implementation"

_ck_ — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:06:44 +0000

What you want to do is relatively easy. The redirect apparently happens in the bb_repermalink function when it fails to find the tag. So hook <code>$permalink = apply_filters( 'bb_repermalink_result', $permalink, $location );</code> Check if $location == 'tag-page' Then evaluate the tag and if it's going to fail or not. If it's going to fail, do your own redirect or error message.

I would like to do a cleanup of the tag section. For years I haven't done this and haven't paid attention to how badly chosen tag names many of my forum's topics have. Unique tag names bother me the most - many people don't seem to understand a tag's role and simply enter the topic name once again. Tags can be removed or merged in the Admin section. What concerns me is the way BBPress deals with no longer found tags - it redirects to the main /tags page. Wouldn't it be better to have a custom 404 error page returned in this case? I know this is the "official" recommendation for pages no longer found on a server. My concern comes especially from how search engines view one method or another of dealing with this issue. And I would have to remove several hundred pages which are currently indexed by the main SEs. If I decide to set up a 404 error page how do I overrite the default redirect? Thanks for any advice/opinions.

Hi, I want to output the latest, let's say 10, topics of a certain forum in a custom template page. How?

Wow thanks. This worked! I didn't know about the recount button.

_ck_ on "250 topics per forum limitation?"

Have you done a recount from the admin menu?

bbdan on "250 topics per forum limitation?"

bbdan — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:49:57 +0000

Thank you CK. I tried deactivating all plugins with no success. Here's what happens exactly. For some reason this piece of code doesn't seem to work properly: <div class="nav"> <?php forum_pages(); ?> </div> More specifically, it only loads links to around 300 pages (depending on the number of topics displayed per page). For example, if I choose to display 60 topics per page I get 5 pages of Navigation pages per forum, for 30 topics I get 10 or so, and so on. The forum in question obviously has more than 300 topics. What's interesting is that I can manually enter in the browser any of the pages missing from Navigation. Furthermore, if I manually enter page 15 for example I can go back from page to page using the Previous button (14, 13 etc).

_ck_ on "250 topics per forum limitation?"

_ck_ — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:49:59 +0000

There is no such limitation, there are installs with thousands of topics per forum. There might be a plugin interfering. Try temporarily deactivating a couple at a time, also try temporarily using the default kakumei theme.

bbdan — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:45:13 +0000

I have BBPress version 0.9.0.2 and I just noticed that there seems to be a 250 topic limitation for topics displayed per forum. When topic 251 is posted the oldest topic in line is removed. Actually, the topic itself isn't removed, but the link to the topic is. I couldn't find a setting for this. Have others experienced this limitation and how did you fix it?

Thank you CK.

_ck_ on "Upgrading Akismet?"

_ck_ — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:25:46 +0000

There is probably a limit to which newest version of akismet will work with 0.9 but since the service runs elsewhere, changing the akismet version will not improve spam detection locally. However make sure you upgrade human test to the one released last week as I added "stop forum spam" service to it which is about 98% effective.

bbdan on "Upgrading Akismet?"

bbdan — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:23:40 +0000

Hello, I have BBPress 0.9.0.2 installed on one of my websites. I also have some security/anti spam plugins activated - Human test, Enhanced registration, Block long queries, Kill URL and Akismet 1.0. I believe the latter came integrated with BBPress. Akismet does a fairly good job blocking spam messages, but some spammers still manage to post their ads. I just loaded and tried to activate the latest Akismet version (2.5.5)and I get an error message ("Plugin could not be activated; it produced a Fatal Error."). I wonder if upgrading Akismet is even possible for BBPress versions before 1.0 and if so, if it would be more efficient in blocking spam. Thanks. DPP

The plugin that does that is "post count plus" <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-count-plus/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-count-plus/</a> Ranks was never really finished but you can have post counts and custom titles.

I wanted a plugin that would have the number of posts a person has on the site. I was also looking for a plugin that would let people have ranks and stuff BUT display them throughout the site UNDER THEIR USERNAME! So thats my problem. I hope someone helps me I have posted on many sites and no one has helped me at all. Thanks :) Im new here

_ck_ — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 07:17:03 +0000

If you delete the user they can just register again. I guess what you are saying is to catch them before they register and just let them keep failing.

mark_m — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:37:55 +0000

Fantastic! Thank you so much, _ck_. I've already got a couple of emails confirming that spam users have been blocked. I've sent you a small something as my thanks. Minor requests for a future update: An option to delete the user outright instead of marking it as inactive would be nice, as well as an option to not send out the emails would be great now that I'm confident the plugin is working well, but I've very happy with all of your plugins, so thank you again! - Mark

I haven't published the update yet. Okay I just pushed it to the svn so you should see 0.9.5 soon or just download directly from here: <a href="http://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/human-test/trunk/" rel="nofollow">http://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/human-test/trunk/</a>

That sounds great, _ck_! Is the new stopforumspam code part of human test, or is it another plugin altogether? Is it available for download yet?

_ck_ on "Quick 'n dirty spam user detection"

_ck_ — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:53:12 +0000

Removing fields is not impossible but tricky with the bbpress api. My human-test plugin used to be able to stop most of those but they've gotten very clever at getting past. I recently added code to use the stopforumspam.com api and it now catches about 99% of them. Just like email, spammers are becoming a very serious problem on forums, they must waste huge amounts of cpu time.

mark_m — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:46:07 +0000

I'm guessing you probably don't solicit plugin ideas, but I have a thought anyway, just in case. :) I get dozens and dozens of spam users a day who use spam links as their user homepage URL. Considering that users on my forum typically don't have homepage urls anyway, it would be nice if there were a plugin that would simply remove the homepage field on the user registration form, and then automatically reject any submissions that try to include a homepage URL anyway. I imagine this might actually stop my spam users altogether.

I'm using bbPress 1.0.3 with Chrome, Internet Explorer 9, and Safari I managed to actually solve the problem by using your great stylesheet editor (Thank you for including that!). It turns out that the footer was simply overlapping the button, so adding a bottom margin to the submit button worked.

What version of bbpress are you using and what browser?

mark_m on "Mass Delete Users - No Delete Button"

mark_m — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:00:30 +0000

I've downloaded and installed the mass delete users plugin, but the button to actually delete the users doesn't appear to show up for me. It appears, sometimes, on the last page of results (my forum has hundreds of users marked as blocked or with zero posts), but not always. Any ideas?
