    The role shows by default, so something must have turned this off.

    Can you post a link to your url?

    and what plugins are you running?

    please be patient, all the responders on here are volunteers and are not dedicated to this site.

    It doesn’t go in your theme or child theme folder.

    You should upload the bbpress plugin, which will then place the bbpress files in your wp-content/plugins folder. Whiolst you can do that yourself, let wordpress and the plugin do their work

    so Dashboard>plugins>add new plugin and search for bbpress, then load it and activate

    Do the same with buddypress

    on your 2 questions

    1. yes there are plugins that allow an upload – for instance https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
    2. Just disable that part dashboard>settings>forums> look for forum root slug, and you’ll see a tick box to disable it.

    should be no. 4 in the crib – can you confirm that this didn’t work?

    Try

    rewrite rules
    This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

    and if that doesn’t work try

    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.

    Not really without some code, and I’m busy doing that for my plugin, and it won’t readily adapt for the above method – hence why I’m writing a plugin.

    I’m not far off now, cracked the search yesterday, now a major tidy up !

    I’ve documented how to do this with members plugin and bbpress permissions plugin.

    http://www.rewweb.co.uk/creating-bbpress-groups/

    BUT be aware that you need to disable the search function, and use other widgets with care !

    I am still working on a groups plugin, fighting my way round the search function at the moment to stop it being a backdoor. Hope to be finished in the new few weeks, but said that two weeks ago !

    Do they need the toolbar at all???

    If not just disable that – dashboard>users>’youruser’ and it’s above the “no role for this site” you set earlier.

    I don’t like anyone but me having backend access !

    Which tends to suggest that you are having the issue rather than that the codex doesn’t work !

    css is loaded at various times, and changes can be overwritten by later loads.

    Try putting ‘!important’ after a few to see if that helps, if so then apply to all. This tells the code not to apply later changes.

    eg

    #bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
     background: #eaeaea !important;
     }
    

    @robin-w

    ‘The codex dosent work ‘

    Can you explain a little more ?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ‘it happened on this thread too though in the post at the top there is a link I used which is blanked out even on this website.’

    would tend to suggest it is a problem at your end, have you tried other browsers?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Not a buddypress expert, but suggest you try with all plugins except bbpress and BP deactivated. If that fixes, re-enable one at a time to find the problem.

    If plugins doesn’t fix, switch to a default forum such as twentytwelve, and test again.

    Come back and let us know if any of that helped.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    don’t know how you do that with buddypress – sorry !

    which register page are you sending it to?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

    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.
