If there are no keymasters, then
bbp style pack
once activated, navigate to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes and you will see the options to make yourself the keymaster
You can then deactivate and remove the style pack plugin, or look at what it offers
Maybe create a forum called say ‘announcements’
Then create a page called whatever you wish
Into that page put the following shortcode
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
Where $forum_id is the forum id
I’m on holiday but from memory
Dashboard settings forums and there is a setting for how many minutes users can edit responses and set it to a large number
Ok do the users have permission to edit replies
Ok do the users have permission to edit replies
Sorry I am away at the moment without access, can you bump this thread after the 15th July and I will see if I can help
Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic Form Additional Fields
ok, you are doing stuff with combinations of old versions of software – I can only help with current.
Wordpress 6.x dramatically changed how WordPress works, and Twenty Twenty-Two is one of the new FSE themes.
So on WordPress 6.5.5 with Twenty Twenty-Two you will need the fix mentioned above. BBpress 2.6.11 is the current version of bbpress and should also be used.
Regards
Robin
I suspect you are using an FSE theme, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
install
bbp style pack
once activated, navigate to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.
In that tab, select
Enable Theme Support
and save
The forums should then display
Nothing new
The following 13 errors fixed
View RSS feeds return the all-topic feed if the view doesn’t exist
After export from SMF error: bbp_converter_db_connection_failed
BBP_Converter_DB does not have a method “__destruct
Restoring a trashed topic will set the post status to ‘draft’ as of WordPress 5.6.0
Default arg to “bbp_add_forums_roles()” can cause errors
Reduce subscription email subject duplication
Editor buttons missing since 2.6.8 upgrade
bbp_get_reply_url() generates incorrect link for a spammed topic
Search displays hidden forums to participants
The content-archive-forum.php template does not filter if the search form should be displayed
Recount topics for each user, counts only published topics
Statistics widget throws Undefined index if no replies or topics tags

thanks, I’m away at the moment on other stuff, so just trying to get something going until I can look at it, so thanks for spotting 🙂
I have raised a trac ticket for this release which hopefully the authors will look at
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3601
sorry, was answering an earlier question as to what was in the new release
what other bbpress related plugins are you running?
thanks, I’ll take a look, but suggest you remain at 2.6.9 for the moment
and if you are using any caching software, clear all your caches
Go to Settings > Permalinks, select the default permalinks then save. Now select your preferred permalinks structure. This flushes the rewrite rules and can solve some possible 404 errors.
or final thought, just have a contact form for registration and add users manually. You can set a fictitious email address (they are not shown on the front end)
Theyb have to be unique, so you could just increment a fictional email address – example.com is used by many people as a domain address that is not real eg
user1@eaxmple.com
user2@example.com
user3@example.com
and use the moderation in bbp style pack above to approve all posts
Otherwise it is doable but far beyond free help – as I say bbpress just uses wordpress registration so maybe contact a wordpress developer who can do some code for you.
ok, without an email address, is in effect registration not necessary (?), as you have no way to contact users or validate who they are?
If so I’d suggest you:
1. allow anonymous posting
dashboard>settings>forums>Anonymous Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies
2. use Akismet to reduce/stop spam
Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection
3. install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation and follow instructions and set that all posts need to be moderated
4. go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form
and set 19, 20 and 21 – 20 allows you to hide the email field
$forumname = bbp_get_forum_title( $post->forum_id );
