The only way I know that would work is to use the Hidden Forum plugin to create a forum called something like Members Only, and then allow anyone with any role (Member, Moderator, Admin, etc.) to see it.
Then you could add topics to it, and only members could see it.
That’s the simplest solution I’m aware of… sorry!
I was researching this for ya, and noticed that your host had fixed it for you:

Glad it worked out! Let us know if your host ever lets you know what they changed/fixed, if you could… thanks!
Hey Nightgunner5! What do you mean that 0.9.0.6 has been deprecated? Just curious!
There was a great plugin called “Move It” that did a lot of what you described:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/move-it/
But it was designed for bbPress 0.8x I believe… ck recommended that 0.9 and 1.0 users not use it.
But if you’re interested in coding something similar, her code might be a good place to start.
Good luck!
Line 48 in the plugin has the following setting:
$bb_attachments=true; // auto insert uploaded images into post49
source: https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/bb-attachments/trunk/bb-attachments.php
Is that set to true? I noticed that the image wasn’t showing up in your post at all (only in the list of attachments at the end of the post).
Also… you mentioned, “I modify the line in both folders, in the root and the other in my-plugins folder, and nothing happend”.
What do you mean, both folders… the code should only be in the /bb-attachments/ folder under /my-plugins/.
The bb-attachments folder over the root is meant to hold the uploads… the one in /my-plugins/ is designed to hold the code. 
Like a cut tag? If so, I don’t believe so – since the front-page.php and forum.php files don’t show the text of the topics, it’s not as pressing a need on bbPress.
But I could see it being useful if someone wanted to use bbPress to serve Pages/Articles… maybe there’s a plugin that supports this? I haven’t seen it though…
I’m not sure why this would happen, especially on the default theme.
I would recommend two things:
1) First, try disabling your plugins to see if that helps at all. If it does, enable one plugin at a time to see which plugin is causing the conflict.
2) If that doesn’t work, try this plugin?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/
I use it on all my sites, and it’s been great…
Good luck!
I believe something similar is built into the BuddyPress software?
Try changing this line:
$bb_attachments=”participate”; // minimum role to download original = read/participate/moderate/administrate
to this:
$bb_attachments=”read”; // minimum role to download original = read/participate/moderate/administrate
Also – do you see any files in your /bb-attachments/ folder?
I think the bb-attachments should be above the webroot, for security reasons…
So your images are uploading, but you just see a red x?
There’s a link on the bottom of the search page that says something like, “Search on Google”… I usually click on that.
So when there were more than 12 posts, the frontpage would be completely empty?
“Forums is category” comes standard in bbPress v. 1.0+… I think you just have to mark them as categories:
http://hoosierhoopsreport.com/bbpress/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=forum_is_category_admin_page
Try that, and see if your theme makes the automatic adjustment?
It looks like you’re trying to install bbPress as a plugin within WordPress?
It’s actually a separate program… you have to install it separately from WordPress. You can integrate the two, so that they have shared users.
Good question… that 503 report I linked to earlier was caused by an interaction between mini-track and bb-attachments.
There was some discussion of 503 errors on a bbPress install here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/second-page-gone
Maybe something there will be helpful?
I’m not sure what you mean about overkill… but I’ve gone to huge lengths to avoid hacking the core in the past, and it’s almost always been worth it.
Hacking the core is really inadvisable, as it makes upgrades extremely difficult!
The tag cloud would show “sample” only once, but it would be larger than the other, lesser-used tags.
You can see an example at the top of the bbpress forums, under the section entitled “Hot Tags”:
https://bbpress.org/forums/
Yah it’s not a WordPress plugin… it’s separate software which has plugins of its own.
There are WordPress plugins like this one that offer very basic forum functionality:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpforum/
You might want to try something like that, if you’re not comfortable installing standalone forum software…
Good luck!
Are you installing bbPress as a plugin in a WordPress site? That would trigger an error like the one you reported…
You can “merge” two tags using the tag tools… but that’s a one time thing. I don’t know of a way to automatically replace one tag with another one, on an ongoing basis…
Since Sam stepped down as bbPress lead a short while ago, we haven’t heard who will be replacing him (or how many resources Automattic will devote to the product). Hopefully we’ll get an update sooner rather than later!
If you’re looking for support for a lot of bbPress plugins, your best best is usually to stay on the 0.9 branch. 1.0 won’t have a lot of plugins supported for months, if at all…
