If I set it to ‘create/edit/view OWN topics’, the user is unable to view other topics.
Is there a fix to this?
Perhaps you can outline who you wan to see what – ie non-logged in, logged in etc.
ok, beyond free help, but my code takes an array from $_POST – which presumably is what your form is creating?
maybe post your form code? and I’ll take one last look
sorry, lost in translation 🙂
The default is that participants cannot close their own topics
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Display
item 17
do you have the basic (free) version of all in one SEO or a paid version ?
great – glad you are fixed
great – glad you are fixed !!
sorry, I was looking for the topic – I knew this one had cropped up before
It is a known bug, the answer is
Deactivate and reactivate All in One SEO and the bbPress menu links will appear.
yes, let me come back shortly
ok, yes that should give you the forum button on the dashboard.
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back
if three is another keymaster then they can make you a keymaster.
If there are no keymasters, then install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes
and you will see the option to make yourself keymaster.
After you have done this, you can deactivate and delete the style pack plugin, but you might want to check out it’s features.
Private groups
and look at topic permissions
so it works except widgets and shortcode? (and which shortcode?)
strongly suspect the issue is that you are running on a staging site, so conflict between the actual url and the one in the wordpress database
great – glad you are fixed
link to your site so I can try it please
ok, so when someone tries to register, what happens?
so if you are allowing registration, how are users registering – what widget or shortcode or method are you using ?
users need to register, bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so you have lots of options for doing this.
if viewing as a ‘guest’ then presumably you are not logged in so have no identity, so the system doesn’t know who you are, so there are no subscriptions or email address to notify
hmmm…
bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so users should be able to just register and get participant access.
what have you got set in
dashboard>settings>forums>Roles?
I think your theme is adding another one in the bbpress templates
so in 2.6.x they are added in
\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\form-reply.php
\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\form-topic.php
so your have 2 choices
a. the better one
Look in each of the files you listed as being bbpress in your themes template and look for a line which says something like
bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' );
and edit out this line
b. If you can’t find it there, then
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
remove the line which says
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘user-login’ ); ?>
and save
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
Repeat this for form-topic.php
it could be a theme or plugin issue

Still waiting to see if people using the Forums are having any issues using them.
not sure what this means 🙂
I would like to change the font color against the maroon top bars, from black to yellow, or grey, but I am not finding the right tab to do so.
probably theme related, but link to an example on your site please.
Why are there tabs for setting up logins/logim failures, if logging in is accomplished at the WordPress level?
bbpress has some widgets and shortcodes that let users enter username and password. these details are passed to wordpress security to go through login.
