As Pascal says, we can help with specific queries, but not in a full set-up. But googling around will fix a lot of what you’re asking.

In reply to: Removing date from Freshness columnit would be quite easy to cut a fresh version of my last post plugin especially for you that works on the date you put in the forums.
contact me via my website
In reply to: Removing date from Freshness columnthat’s interesting, I hadn’t spotted that bbpress did that, I just tested it.
Let me have a quick look to see if I can work a fix for that.
In reply to: Participant role not workingif it isn’t still a caching issue, 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
In reply to: Participant role not workinggreat – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Hiding Sub-parentsGreat – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Removing date from Freshness columnno simple way to remove using css
You could just download my plugin and have it as a proper date
In reply to: Hiding wp from forum subscribersgreat – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Participant role not workingis the forum ‘private’ or ‘hidden’ – sounds like it is hidden if only mods can see it.
In reply to: Hiding Sub-parentsOk, you need to amend some templates and put these into your child theme
https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/
Sub-forum removal
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpresswhere %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 to remove the sub forumsline 44 says
<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>delete this line and the sub forums will go !
forum posts
do the same as above, but for content-single-forum
and then take out line 26 that says
<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>In reply to: Hiding wp from forum subscribershttps://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/global-admin-bar-hide-or-remove/
or if you know code
add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');In reply to: BBpress Forums and Topic Stylingbbpress looks different on every theme so we need to see yours
So can you
a) post a url to your site and in particular an example page
b)state exactly what items you want larger smaller
In reply to: bbP Members Onlyyes my plugin private groups
In reply to: bbPress site separate from my main website?Great – you will learn a lot by doing so, and whilst initially it might be painful – it is worth it.
And at the end of the day, if you don’t take backups into your control, then any backups your host provider takes will be worthless if they go bust or have a major site failure. Being able to reconstruct you site anywhere is highly valuable.
In reply to: where to put bbpress.css in child-themeThe code isn’t better, but I wanted to be sure that code itself wasn’t an issue. obviously posting the exact code works, although it doesn’t preform what you wish.
So back to the gallery plugin author for his help
I don’t know what giving throttle capability does the dics only discuss the setting
Throttle posting every
Set this to the minimum time (in seconds) between posting new replies in bbPress forums. This is useful to help stop spamming or other attempts to interrupt the normal flow of the forum.In reply to: participant reply or topic confirmsorry I don’t understand you sentance
In reply to: where to put bbpress.css in child-themeso did you copy/paste it – exactly as per my code and what exact errors did you get?
In reply to: bbPress site separate from my main website?Whilst I can see some of your concerns, there are no security concerns that bbpress will let your users access your wordpress site backend – none of us would use bbpress if it had backdoors like that.
You core issue seem to stem from
I had to install some bbPress code in my functions file to stop non-administrator profiles from seeing the WordPress main menu at the top of the forum.
Please explain further? or give us the code you used.
With that, in having to add code such as this I subsequently shut down my entire site due to adding code the functions.php file that it didn’t like. Not a good situation for me.
That is a wordpress issue, and if you are not good at coding you should not be editing files ion a live site. You really need a test site
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/testing-your-bbpress-installation/creating-a-test-site/
Yes you can set up a separate domain/sub-domain with wordpress and bbpress running, and just show bbpress in this site. BUT you can’t have this administered by the other wordpress site (well at least not at any level of understanding that you would have – you are not ready for multisite 🙂 )
So either you run one site or two sites. 1 site will not give you security issues if set up correctly in wordpress. 2 sites will mean lots of duplication of usernames, double updating, and more room for error.
I’d suggest you look strongly at the test site route – this will force you to learn about how a wordpress site is put together, which will allow you to do changes with confidence of more technical knowledge and no risk to live
Good luck, and do come back and let us know how you get on
