Hi,
You could create a new role based on the spectate. Follow our codex on https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/
If you want to limit topic creation for a specific forum, you can also have a look if my ‘bbP Toolkit’ plugin can help. It has a ‘protected forum’ possibility to allow only specific roles to create topics on some forums.

Hi siparker,
I won’t start about your first line about the ‘money’, but for adding new functionalities of finding code for existing tickets, https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org is one of the places that can be used for that. If a ticket is there and there is code attached, it makes a fair chance to be added into future versions.

Hi,
If this is the standard wordpress function (never used this function before), then you cannot have a ‘post_author_id’, should be ‘user_ID’ and the ‘post_author’ should be ‘comment_author’ …
See https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/preprocess_comment
But this is for comments, not for replies …
Pascal.
Hi,
I see your forum and topic, so did you solve your issue ?
Pascal.
Hi,
That image has nothing to see with bbPress, right ?
Pascal.
It seems there will be no immediate fix for it… Let me see if I find something else.
Ahhh, correct, I had already opened a bug for that: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2906
I’m checking if there is a wordaround…
Hi,
Without seeing the real site, it’s difficult … Can you post the link ?
Pascal.
Hi,
Just want to add that, for the people that do not want to code this, the functionality is also in the ‘bbP Toolkit’ plugin.
Pascal.
Hi John,
We are all very much eager to help each other, but this forum runs on volunteers so we cannot just help you setting up your forum completely for you. You can however find people that do this for a living and pay them.
Reading your above description I’m hesitating between ‘where is the question?’ and ‘There are 20 questions in 1 topic here’. So if you have any specific question, feel free to ask and if we can respond, we will.
Trying to answer some parts and giving thoughts:
– Not support child themes ? Then switch theme !
– You can always put extra code in the functions.php of you theme, but after a theme upgrade make sure to check your updates are still there
– For the login/redirect you are already on 2/3 other threads in this forum, please try to not repeat yourself in here
So, for any specific question… shoot !
Pascal.
Hi,
Where exactly do you want to see it ? Profile page, topics, replies, …
And it will depend on your theme, so if this is a public site, please include a link.
Pascal.
Hi,
If you are on the /wp-admin/users.php page, you can select one or more users and then use the dropdown box on top that says ‘Change forum role to…’ and hit the ‘Change’ button next to it.
If you edit a specific user on /wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=1234 you should find a ‘Forums’ section and a dropdown where you can set the forum role.
Of course you can never change it on your OWN profile.
Pascal.
Hi,
But do you really have a reply or is there just a counter that says 1, but there is no reply ? If there is no reply, I suspect a theme issue, so try to see in a different theme if you have the same issue.
If you want to ‘protect’ your forum so that only e.g. administrators and moderators can add topics, then have a look at my ‘bbP Toolkit’ plugin. (note: it works on bbPress forums, not on BuddyPress ones for now).
Pascal.
Yes, switching to non-formal Dutch was another option 🙂
But I thought Formal was a ‘must’ for you.
Happy to see you’re fixed, enjoy bbPress.
Pascal.
I’ve pasted code into functions.php files, almost anywhere I can
There is only 1 (one) functions.php where you should paste it and that’s the one in your (child) theme.
all the solutions offered take me nowhere
I have put all the code that I have on https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/setup-login-for-private-forum/. If you only go for the code, then make sure to deactivate any other redirection and/or security plugins (at least for the test).
the site is at tec.selwood.me
You are missing the ‘Email’ label under the forgot your passsword on the log-in page

Goeie morgen,
Can you point me to the page where you found that procedure ? Translation should come automatically when it reaches 100%, there should be no need to install the translation manually!
I must however inform you that only the informal dutch is at 100%, not the formal dutch ! So help will be needed to get that one translated.
Let me know how you want to proceed.
Alvast bedankt,
Pascal.
Yep, what you put there is valid for your whole WordPress instance.
Pascal.
Check the ‘bbP Style Pack’ plugin, that will probably get you started …
Pascal.
