some of my members are not able to access topics
so some are able to access?
login probably isn’t going to do it either.
Probably a setting in wordpress or your site
or ‘I changed all of the URLs directly in the database’ something mis-set here
Suggest you start by
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
to eliminate these as issues
ok, not really possible to diagnose the issue from the links.
if it is the Captcha by BestWebSoft, then then pro version works with buddypress, you would need to check with them that it works just with bbppress.
it will be a theme css issue –
since Bigbang is a paid theme, suggest you post this issue to their support site
great – glad you’re fixed
try
dashboard>settings>permalinks and click save.
This will refresh your permalinks.
May help, may not !
untested as I’m short of time this evening but…
create a directory in your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
if you take out line 44 which says
<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>
Then sub forums will not be listed
this is all handled by wordpress and presumably cleantalk. bbpress just uses what wordpress has. Suggest you post on the wordpress/cleantalk support sites
I see you’ve also posted in the buddypress suppprt forum, and hopefully you’ll get help from there
hmm, just been thinking about this.
Displaying topics and replies would require some filters, but stopping widgets/searches etc. from picking up these topics would require much more.
In effect it would be my private groups plugin re-written to topic level.
Lots of code I think, and beyond time I currently have available.
ok, and can user publish replies to his own topics?
ok, that is a bit like asking me how to open your car’s hood – it’s fine to tell me that you have a Nissan Navara, but since I don’t have one I don’t know how your car does that !!
Since your theme is paid, I can’t look, so the following is a guess
I would suggest you theme has a setting in css like :
blockquote::before {
color: #ccc;
content: open-quote;
font-size: 4em;
line-height: 0;
margin-right: 15px;
vertical-align: -0.5em;
}
so you could reduce the font-size to say 2em.
Thanks for your post, and your kind comments.
I am glad that you found a fix for your problem.
There are many reasons why the bspstyle.css can have issues, a few relate to caching software trying to combine my css, some are theme related and some server issues.
Anyone coming across this thread who has issues, please do post on my plugins support page
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack
so can users respond to non admin posts?
the box doesn’t say ‘Search the Forum’ by default.
If this is the widget in a sidebar, then you can change the title yourself
I think it’s theme related – can you post a link to an example and I can see what is setting it
just re-read you first post “I’ve tried looking at it with the twenty fourteen theme, and the topics to in fact show up” so it is a theme issue.
What theme are you using?
It could be a theme or plugin issue

Then come back
great – glad you are fixed !
no it won’t help
so you will have
several forums
registered users
forums only seen by registered users
in each forum, a user can only see topics topics created bv himself
presumably he will see replies to those topics created by moderators/admins?
so moderators/admins able to see all topics and respond?
so is this just a specific topic or topics you are trying to hide?
and when you say ‘access’ do you mead read?
I’d suggest you look at my private groups plugin, just set all the forums you need to to a group, and all the ‘normal’ users to this group, and they will see these.
Don’t set the category of user to this group, and they won’t see posts from these forums
