This is a theme issue – there may well be a setting in the theme or the page or contact the theme authors
Try the forum repairs
dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time
You should see no perceivable impact from this plugin, but you can always check by using a tool such as https://tools.pingdom.com/
on format – if you want further options then use my style pack plugin instead which gives you these options – see the freshness Display tab

If you are not a coder then use the last post plugin above which does it for you
logged in/logged out is I think a buddypress thing.
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
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.
Then come back
Most likely a theme issue
as a test switch to a theme such as twentytwelve to prove
presuming this is not spam (website removed from the above) , then install via wordpress, and if you get an error, please post exactly what the error is !
you should be able to with my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum display>item 9
if you want to attempt it yourself, then download my private groups plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
and crack open includes/functions.php
you’ll find a filter around line 14 to check permissions on topics and replies and the function it calls further down.
You probably want to create a version of that for yourself.
Have fun !
no problem – glad you’re fixed !
Sorry, no simple solution to this – would require custom coding!
go into
Dashboard>forums>and edit each forum
on the right hand side you’ll see Forum Attributes which includes ‘Order’ lower numbers are earlier, so just number them 1,2,3,4 to order
can you list which plugins you are using?
suggest you install my style pack
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
which will let you set font sizes along with lots more
something is broken !
can you tell me how your page is set up?
see https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/
and which of item 3?
bbpress has no special entries, so yes this should work fine – as long as it copies the database – everything should be fine
no problem, hopefully I was some help !
ok, I think you are now beyond the general help I can give.
ok try putting it into
dashboard>settings>bbp style Pack>custom css
ok, not possible without bespoke development work
‘One is for regular forum-use, and the other is for writing texts where people can comment and start discussions. So it’s two different features but for all members.’
sorry you have now completely lost me – I do not understand the difference between ‘regular use’ and ‘can comment and start discussions’ – forums are where you start discussions and comment !
I am trying to help you, but perhaps you could start from scratch and articulate exactly what you are trying to achieve.
you should find this plugin will do that
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
within the plugin set your users into two private groups, and allocate a forum/forums to each group.
Users will then be able to see and interact with only their forums inc. search.
