great – we’re here to help !
good set of questions!
bbpress uses WordPress registration for forum users, so they will integrate nicely.
There are widgets within bboress that allow for login and registration
With forums set to public, then anyone can see forums, but only logged in users can ‘participate’
Users can change their email in the profile section
two queries
5. Once registered, every time the user visits again login will be required to participate in the forums.
This will be the case, unless they use the remember me function, but in effect that is the same as it is a logged in person. There are plugins to prevent remember me if you want to disable eg
https://wordpress.org/plugins/remember-me-controls/
7. The user will have to be allowed to unsubscribe.
They cannot delete themselves, they can just stop using. They can of course send the admin a request to be deleted, and then the admin has the choice of deleting all content for that user, assigning it to someone else, or just blocking that user so that the content remains under their name.
@ebunny3k maybe fair comment, but not sure why you’re lurking on here if you feel that bbpress is such a bad product 🙂
that’s not standard bbpress behaviour – breadcrumbs just navigate within the same window.
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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
can you carry out the steps in
Before Posting
then come back
great – glad you’re fixed !
great – hopefully a later version of bbpress will fix this
yes probably it would.
I don’t know why it is doing it, and investigating is beyond the time I have.
Can I ask why the index itself is not the root you want to go? you can re-order the forum using order within each forum’s settings
ok, I think your theme is probably conflicting due to it’s layout nature.
so question, why not just make the forum not equal the slug?
i have my forum built up by [bbp-single-forum id=xxx]-shortcodes
and these are one under each other in the forum name page?
the same as my wp page’s slug
by which I think you mean you have a WordPress page called say ‘forum’ with the slug of ‘foforum’ with the [bbp-forum-index] in it?
We got the private topics to show to Participants by using the plugin “Capability Manager Enhanced”
suggests that something is not right with the transfer.
The documentation is right
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users with a forum role can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/keymasters can see these forums
so
are you still using
bbPress Advanced Capabilities,
Capability Manager Enhanced
or both?
I’d suggest they are not helping
I’d suggest you turn both off, and the report back with what is happening, and we’ll fix it from there
exporting and importing from bbpress to bbpress is strangely one of the hardest things to do. The plugin authors have not got round to fixing this yet (they are not lazy, just it hasn’t hit the top of the pile!).
any chance of a url to your forums?
We just migrated all the users into the database, so is there some other flag we need to set for everyone?
Last sentence is what we need to start with !
Can you explain a bit more about what the current site is, and how you got here
Have you just set up bbpress, and if so can you explain more about the migration of users? or have you migrated from another forum to bbpress? or what is happening?
Also exactly did you do to ‘remap everyone to the default’?

Then come back
I’d suggest you upgrade to latest wordpress, not to fix this issue, but because you leave your site more open to attack by using old software.
Onto your problem…if profiles are viewable by non logged in users – can you post a link to the forum so that we can see the issue
sorry, not sure I understood that, are you giving me a link to a page that you have made work?
What is the url of a page that doesn’t work?
and are these people actually being added to the users database?
can you give us a shortcode you are using and a link to the resultant page?
bbpress hooks to wordpress registration, so any wordpress recapcha should work, you just load the relevant plugin and follow instructions
ok, as long a that doesn’t break the site it elsewhere you have a solution !
No problem – glad you’re fixed !
use a wordpress re-captcha programme to stop the automatic, so that only real people come through
eg
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recaptcha/
there are others and I haven’t tried this one (or any) – just google !
@jayd94
given the age of this thread, I don’t plan rereading it all to understand ‘It wokrs for me also’ 🙂
can you come back with a summary of issue please
