Did you try repairing the roles via “Tools” -> “Forums” -> “Remap existing users to default forum roles”?
That usually works and is a fix that sticks.
There is a thread on this on WordPress.org – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-forum-pages?replies=7#post-4519232
Genesis 2 does not fully support bbPress. A fix is needed either in Genesis core itself or the compat plugin, but is not yet in place.
If you run bbPress do not upgrade to Genesis 2.0. Keep an eye out on that plugin for a future update to hopefully address the issue.

This plugin will get you about 70% of the way – bbPress Genesis Extend
The remaining 30% is going to be manual CSS tweaks and possibly a few other changes that are specific to your theme (and Genesis)
Whoops, wrote it in a hurry. Should be fixed now!
If you need to alter the tags allowed, see this code snippet:
Modify/change the default allowed tags for bbPress
That should get you started.
What other plugins are you running?
Note that any modifications you make to bbPress core files will be deleted next time you upgrade.
Can you provide us with some more details on what you are hoping to accomplish and what your use case is? That will allow us to hopefully give you some accurate recommendations.
@hansaplastique Images can already be added. In your case you just need to add style to the approved attributes for the img tag.
@tbermudas bbPress supports oembed (assuming you have it turned on in the settings) just like WordPress. So all you need to do is post the URL of the video (don’t link it) and it should automagically embed it.
Most users don’t have paragraphs and other random tags in their content. This only affected a small number of users who were typically copy and pasting content where as it pulls the source styling. Typical TinyMCE usage would not have placed p/span tags in the content.
So yes, seriously, we did.
It’s a limitation of WordPress.
bbPress does not use anything not native to WordPress. All the functionality is accomplished with custom post types, taxonomies, post meta, user meta, etc – it works really well.
However there are some features, such as this, that just can’t easily be done within the confines for the WordPress schema. I’ve talked to JJJ before about this, and it’s just not something that can easily be done without performance hit or using custom tables, neither of which are really ideal for bbP core.
If you would have taken 10 seconds to search the available plugins on WordPress.org you would have seen there is a plugin called “bbPress Members Only” that does this exact function.
But you didn’t.
Are you using the official bbPress search?
NOT the WordPress search with bbPress enabled or any of the bbPress search plugins on WordPress.org?
Hmm, is there a Settings > Forums available to you?
Hmm, first of all the bbPress stylesheet shouldn’t be loading on sites that do not have bbPress activated. If it is, then there is a problem some where, because it shouldn’t be.
If you want to customize the bbPress CSS, you’ll want to:
Copy:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
to:
wp-content/themes/[YOUR-THEME]/css/bbpress.css
When bbPress runs, it will load your theme’s bbpress.css instead of it’s own.
Something is modifying your queries in correctly – either your theme or a plugin.
I triggered a search via http://churchofficehelpdesk.com/forums/search/?bbp_search=problems and the page pretty much exploded.
First thing to do is eliminate the theme as the problem. Temporarily switch you theme to TwentyTwelve, does that fix the issue? If yes, then your theme is doing something it shouldn’t be.
If no, then deactivate all your plugins except bbPress and see if that fixes it.
There is a 98% chance that one of the two methods above will reveal the cause. I’ve ran into this problem before and it was due to improper query hijacks.
What plugins are you running? Have you tried temporarily deactivating them all (except bbPress) and see if that fixes things? Sounds like a permission/capability issue, but I don’t know why that would trigger without cause.
I talked to @johnjamesjacoby and he is working on it. I don’t have an exact ETA for you, but it’s something that will be available in the future.
There is no way to do this with bbPress, however you can certainly do this with BuddyPress (which will use bbPress).
In BuddyPress you can setup groups, which can each have their own forum, and users in that group can post in its respective forum.
What troubleshooting have you done?
Deactivate all plugins other than bbPress and switch you theme (temporarily) to TwentyTwelve – does that fix the issue?
You should be resetting the width on #container, not .post.
There is nothing special about bbPress members. To make a member list you can simple use any normal WordPress plugin or tutorial that does this, it will be the same.
Who’s Online widgets typically have performance problems, even the BuddyPress one which is why you shouldn’t really show more than a handful of users. It just doesn’t scale terribly well with the schema we have available (eg WordPress).
PM functionality won’t be coming to bbPress, sorry. If you need PM functionality you will probably want to use BuddyPress anyways.
It sounds like you should probably just install BuddyPress as it will give you all this functionality. These items are purposely left out of bbPress – to keep it lean and mean – and are made available in BuddyPress.
