This should be the default position ie not logged in can view, but only logged in reply.
Check your forums (dashboard>forums) and pick any one of your forms to edit
You should have :
Visibility : Public on the top right hand side
where are they logging in? are you using the bbpress login wideget or going via WP-admin If using wp-admin, then take this away from them….
I use bbpress WP tweaks, this creates a forum specific sidebar.
Into this you can drop the BBpress login widget, which means that when they go to your forum page, they then get to login using the widget and remain on that page.
Like you I then give them “no role for this site”, and “participant” for the forum.
I also untick the “show toolbar when viewing site” , so that they don’t see anything wordpress-ish, just my theme. They can amend passwords and profiles through the forum, so don’t need it.
sorry to hear that.
Cannot suggest anything else – hope someone else will come along and help !
Can only suggest you try it in the base ie change your current forum page, and try it witgh forums as the web address.
Caming,
Given that you work in digital marketing for a living, I would have thought that you understood the difference between being paid for something, and getting it for free.
BBpress is FREE – if you want instant support – go pay for something, otherwise accept that this FREE software, with non-instant support provided for by a community who try to help and improve the FREE product – you know then one you didn’t pay for.
Yes it’s really great of you to flag up security flaws, that is the COMMUNITY thing to do, and thanks for doing that.
Finally I think you should seriously consider some anger management course, it’s not good for your blood pressure 🙂
Schmoo, presume you mean this forum https://bbpress.org/forums/ – try coming here direct rather than via bbpress.org and let us know if that makes a difference.
Normally bbpress looks for it’s forum under the website followed by “forums”, but you’ve got that link allocated to Mybb software.
I presume your forums base in settings is set to “iiforums” ?
Yes, that’s probably the next step – swapping your theme to one of the defaults eg twentytwelve and see if it comes up. If so then it’s a theme issue, suspect your theme is unloading sidebars at the wrong time – this should be correctable, but you need to prove it’s the issue first !
In your widgets toolbar you should see a “bbpress sidebar” – drop your items theer and they’ll appear in the sidebar on forum pages.
Strange works well on mine wordpress 3.5.1 bbpress 2.3.2 theme twentyten
breadcrumbs work fine and get you back to the page
Did you call the page forums plural?
Thanks JJJ, it now seems to have fixed itself, so probably cookies have resolved themselves !
yes you are missing something – there should be an update profile tab at the bottom of the page.
I presume you’re in a url looking like
http://www.xxx.com/forums/users/username/edit/
where username is the user’s name?
Same happens to me – when I enter the forums, I just hover over the anonymous, then select log in and log in again. It then tells me that I’m already logged in, but then lets me post.

Great method Schmoo!
You can also create a page called “forums”, put your text there, and then add the shortcode
[bbp-forum-indexx]
but with only one x – sorry but even with code ticks the forum interprets this code, so cannot put it in exactly!
by the way the page doesn’t appear as an edit option in the toolbar, so you have to edit it via the dashboard, but that is how I achieved it.
I find most of this is straight forward ONCE you know the answer, but like you I can spend hours trying to get something to work !
Have had a bit of a play.
Answer turns out to be very easy !
In line 799 just change
'type' => 'both'
to
'type' => 'avatar'
Then just the avatar displays.
By the by change it to
'type' => 'name' and guess what, just the name displays!
As said earlier make a note of what you have changed, as later upgrades will change this back.
Sorry was being thick and quoted the code for the login display.
Having had a look at the widget, there is an option in the recent topics widget itself to hide author ie when you add the widget to a sidebar, you get options for no. posts to show, show author, show date etc. – does that not work?
That links to line 798 in the widgets php, so there would be you next step.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/include-mention-in-bbp_get_reply_author_link-function-args/
This post may or may not help you
Think you just need to comment out line 143 of widgets.php
<h4><?php bbp_user_profile_link( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?></h4>
Then the avatar will show but not the name.
Line 142 has the avatar code, so you can just use that where you need to put the avatar.
Many helpers on the forums only look for questions with no replies – they presume that ones with replies have been answered. I don’t know the answer to this one, but if you don’t get a response in a day or so, I’d re-post it afresh, and Chengdu just hold off adding to it !
Hope you get help

Yes
Just set up the new area, and add the bbpress plugin
Then export (dashboard>tools>export) from the old area – you’ll want post and forums as minimum, but you can take everything if you want.
Then import into the new area. You will need to install the wordpress importer, but that is part of the process, so just say yes when prompted.
Part of the import process will ask you who to assign imported posts to, and you can decide to allocate them to admin, an existing user in the new site or (if you exported everything) to the imported users.
