I can’t immediately see the issue.
If you have tried with just twentyfifteen and bbpress, then not sure how to progress next.
@robkk – any ideas?
ah, forum is not public, so I can’t do a search !
can we have a link to your site please and to an example
have you posted this in the buddypress support forum – looks more like an issue for them
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
I can see the header and lots of replies – do you still have a problem??

you can achieve this with forum roles eg
https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/
if you want it across all forums
or if you just want one of several to be restricted, then I’ve recently added this to my private groups plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
see topic permissions tab
bbpress uses the wordpress system of gravatar, so you’ll need to do that

Great – thanks for doing that – much appreciated !
ok, I think this is now all working for older php versions.
I have also fixed a small bug, so the code is more robust.
once the new version appears in your updates, can you upgrade, and just confirm that it all still works for you.

Robin
Great – thanks for that.
So with the new version you got exactly the same bug – that’s annoying. I’ll try and work a better solution.
But I’m glad it works in a wider sense.
Once I have fixed that I’ll release it as a final live version with a version number one greater so that you get it.
Thanks again for testing for me.
ok, Ive taken a further look, and the issue is that you are using a php version below php5.5.
Given that others may do so, I’ve recoded to avoid the error, so can you delete the version you have, and try this one

suspect its a wordpress issue since I am calling a wp function
if you can’t upgrade to 4.5.2, come back and I’ll take a guess at some retrospective code!
Could well be that or whose style file is overwriting whose may also be the issue.
Without a site to look at I can’t debug.
is this a local server installation?
and also can you tell me what versions of wp, bbpress and php you are using?
loop-forums.php is a file that sites on your server, you cannot ‘call it’ from within php.
You access the file using FTP and an editor.
see ‘What is FTP and how do I access it?’ within this link
https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/
ok, try this version and see what you think.
You’ll see a new topic permissions tab, which will show yuou what to do, but you get a new meta box on the forum which lets you set a per forum restriction

ok, thanks for that.
I did a quick google, and yes there are lots of threads for this, but none seems to have a solution that is simple to understand, and sorry but I don’t have the time to work through them to get you to a solution.
I would suggest you post a thread to their support forum asking for a simple solution.
