I use the plugin Confirm User Registration which does exactly what you originally asked for.
You do need a small mod to get the participant part to work, but if you want to approve all users before they go live, then try this and if it’s what you want come back and I’ll give you the mod that makes the bbpress participant role work.
I also use SB Welcome Email Editor to make the wohle thing make sense to the user
could be many things
lets start by eliminating plugin and theme
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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
How urgent? – I’m working on some other stuff at the moment, but I could load UAM in a few days and take a look.
which of course is then not a localhost, so that’s why it doesn’t work?
@pasquale-galasso
I agree with you, but I am only a supporter here, I do not write the software !
I will take a look when I can and see how hard it would be.
may be a local host problem.
when you hover over the username of someone that has posted you should see the intended URL at the bottom of the screen?
ok, I’ve seen UAM before but not used it.
If I understand correctly you want to protect posts and pages, but not the forums.
That should be doable.
bbpress uses 3 types of custom post
topic
reply
forum
It may be that you need to look that you’ve not set UAM restrictions on topics and replies thinking that these were WP not bbpress? That would explain the result you are getting.
great – glad you’re fixed !
It can be done, you would start with
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php
see https://codex.bbpress.org/amending-bbpress-templates/
remove the number – that’s also on loop single reply – see my response on
[Resolved] how to remove the author box on left page post ?
take out line 27 on loop single reply
change word
put the following into your functions file
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'reply' ) {
$translated_text = 'new text';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
and just change ‘new text’ to whatever you want it to say

Functions files and child themes – explained !
bbpress has a number of converters, including phpbb
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb/
suggest you create a test site and give it a go. That will tell you if you need to get back to a vanilla version first.
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
to convert, just go into dashboard>tools>forums>import forums
Stephen Edgar is the bbpress converter guru, and if you hit difficulties I’d suggest you post a new thread, and I’m sure he’ll help.

ok, something is truncating this into excerpt
You need to see if it’s a plugin issue, switch back to a default theme.

sorry, you need to put it at the end of your functions file

ok, that’s deep within the search function, I’ll take a look if I get a chance, but that may bot be possible !
ok, interestingly (or not !) the forum code uses this shortcode.
Ok so plan b !
I’ve cut a quick new shortcode that looks for content-single-topicb.php
you can download it from my site
Topic shortcode
use the shortcode
[display-topic-special id=$topic_id]
It should work for just the shortcode, but let me test on my site
new version
Shortened search Results
very very important Robin
search by key does not look first in the title of the topic.
hmmm… I have done several searches and they all find the word both in the title and the content. Are you saying that search is not looking in both, or that you would like it to show title matches first, or that you only want title matches?
ok, you will need to modify
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply
make a copy of this file, and put in in a directory called bbpress within your theme, so you end up with
wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply
If you know any coding you basically need to take out the div bbp-reply-author, and further up after the date add the author name
If you don’t know how to do any of that come back and I’ll try to help, but I have limited time to customise bbpress for individuals 🙂
Nothing bad 🙂
It can take me up to 1/2 hour to investigate a problem before I even start to reply. Since your are fixed here, you wouldn’t want Justin wasting time trying to find a solution to a problem that has been fixed elsewhere, so was suggesting that you closed the tickets you created at
https://wordpress.org/support/theme/stargazer
You have done it correctly and it works !
If you log out, you’ll see a login on your forum page. It doesn’t appear if you are logged in, as it is not needed then.
if you want register and lost pasword as well, then use
//add login to top of index
function index_login () {
if (!is_user_logged_in() ) {
echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-login]‘);
echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-register]‘);
echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-lost-pass]‘);
}
}
add_action (‘bbp_template_before_forums_index’, ‘index_login’ ) ;
suggest you try
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
which should let you set them up the way you want
great – glad you’re fixed
suspect this is theme related.
Try switching as a test to a default theme such as twentytwleve and see if this fixes – if so then theme issue.
Since this is a paid for theme, I’d then suggest you contact the theme support site form help at
http://help.themeva.com/
