Add New Topic & Open Posting

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    Hi All,

    I'm having an issue with my bbpress >> add new topic functionality.

    When a user is not logged in and clicks on "Add new topic" they are sent to a 404 page instead of login/register page.

    Additionally, I would like to make my forum open to anyone to post, without registration. Is this possible?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work guys!

    There was a similar bug report posted - the earlier response might be helpful... or maybe the original poster might let you know if they ever found a solution?

    This might also do the trick (although it's a bit kludgy):

    There's a plugin that allows anonymous posting, but all users are marked as with "anonymous":

    _ck_ wrote a cool plugin that lets you "add additional fields to posts like Name/Email/Website for anonymous users via Post Meta plugin": http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-meta/

    I don't know how thoroughly it's been tested, but if you are willing to run alpha software - it might be worth a shot!
