The bbp-signature plugin is designed to work with bbpress not with buddypress, so it works fine – I’ve amended your original post to reflect that for future users in the first post to save them needing to read the whole thread.
But the code wasn't too terrible
General open software etiquette is not to insult other software authors, we are all at different levels and any software that works is useful 🙂
The original author of this software is unable to continue supporting it, so I have access to it so that it can continue.
I think it was made to work with buddypress groups whitout xprofiles yes. A simple update could fix that.
If you’d care to suggest code that would make it work for users with and without buddypress, please contact me via my website, as I’d love to include it in the plugin

I’d go with what you did, but put it in a child theme. That way it will be unaffected by changes to plugins or themes.
Functions files and child themes – explained !
supporting and improving 6 plugins, 6+ websites, and helping out on here all as a hobby doesn’t leave much time so stuff may not be perfect. But it is free !
All suggestions for improvements welcomed.
is that display forum pages or any pages?
great – glad you’re fixed !
most registrations email the user an initial password, which they can then reset once they have logged on, so no need for admins to get involved.
My first glance at it was that it was a jumble and not presented clearly
That may be the case, but insulting the author tends to not get you far 🙂
(I have crossposted this to the Private groups plugin support board. I hope there are no issues with that.)
no problem, you get me either way !
This could be coded, but it is quite complex to do.
In essence you would need to change the can_view function in private groups to have a view or change capability.
The issue is that I am fully tied up at the moment in other paid work, so you would need to put this to someone who would need to learn how bbpress/private groups works.
I suggest you try

I hope you find someone.
This is theme related.
As you have a paid theme with support, I’d suggest you refer it to them, we can’t fix as we can’t see your theme.
plugin was perfectly appropriate
dashboard>settings>bbp-style-pack>forum display> no 5
Your choice as to whether to use it, just suggesting options
But a member can create a a group
that’s buddypress and I know nothing about that !
ok, that ruled out another thing.
Sorry, I’m out of suggestions to try
that’s just the file where the code to show that error is.
Are you developing on a local server?
suggest you post this also on the buddypress support pages
new topics are below any of the forums
you can add a link to these to make it more obvious, this plugin has that facility
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
But shouldn’t registered members be able to create forums too?
Not for many/most sites.
However if you want to add that capability
Custom Capabilities
Great – glad you’re fixed !
new topic at the bottom of any forum page. You can add a link for this using
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack
As you learn, write it down, and you’ll soon have a guide !
so we need to work out if
a) it is this individual post
or
b) the first reply of any topic
You’ll need to do some testing to establish which and come back
in the page, ive chosen this template.
Sorry you need to put this template into a bbpress directory – see
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
the bbpress authors believe this is a wordpress issue, so are waiting for them to fix
bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly.
and

Whilst it is annoying with debug turned on, it is not a fatal error and goes away when debug turned off as it should be for production sites
Can you work you way through
Before Posting
and then come back if needed
