Hi Ian,
Thank you for the offer, much appreciated.
If you’d like to email me ian.haycox at (gmail ) .com we can organise the handover and access to the WP repository.
Thank you.
Ian.
I’ve released V1.6 of the bbPress Moderation plugin to workaround the changes in bbPress 2.3
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/
Any problems – let me know.
Hi,
There is a development version at https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpressmoderation.zip with a fix for the hidden topics/replies.
Unzip the download and replace /wp-content/plugins/bbpressmoderation
I’ve only done limited testing as I’m not a bbPress user anymore – so feedback appreciated on the changes.
Thank to @netweb for the pointer – I’ve followed JJJ advice to use a posts_where filter to add the pending status so moderated topics and replies are included in the query.
It’s a real ugly fix (see the source comments for details), but hopefully it should get you through until moderation makes it into bbPress for real.
Ian.
Hi All,
I am the bbPressModeration plugin author. I’ve only just found out about this today, so my apologies for the problems you are having.
Unfortunately neither this forum or the WordPress forum notified me of the new posts.
I’ll try and see what the problem is today – but if anyone suffering the problem can provide any extra info it would help – e.g. error messages, log messages in Apache etc.
Ian.
Got a link to the page ? It’s tricky debugging a screen shot 
Add the following CSS to your themes’ stylesheet and you should be good to go.
table.bbp-forums, table.bbp-replies, table.bbp-topics {
width: 100%;
}

I don’t know the solution and I have not tried but to get you going try this:
Using FTP or your hosts control panel file manager edit the file,
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php
and change the first line from:
if ( !class_exists( ‘BBP_Twenty_Ten’ ) ) :
to
if ( false && !class_exists( ‘BBP_Twenty_Ten’ ) ) :
That should stop the fatal error and you can log in. From there you could at least deactivate bbpress or change themes etc.
Don’t forget to remove the ‘false &&’ section later.
Ian.
Edit the topic or reply awaiting moderation and publish it to change the status from Pending to Published.
Once you have at least one topic or reply ‘approved’ then new posts will be automatically approved
I wanted bbPress moderation, so just hacked up an ugly set of filters to mark new topics/replies as pending rather than published.
It may be sufficient for your needs.
