there are wordpress roles – administrator, editor, author etc.
and there are bbpress roles – keymaster, moderator, participant etc.The two exist side by side
Private forums can only be accessed by people with a bbpress role.
The default role given to wordpress users is set up in
dashboard>settings>forums>role
That way you can decide who sees what.
If you have existing users, you can just allocate them the participant role (typically) in dashboard>users>all users> and edit each user.
ok, bbpress just uses wordpress users, so anything that registers wordpress users will create users for the forums.
You probably don’t need the private groups plugin, so deactivate that for the moment.
So set the forum to private.
then decide how you would like your users to register.
a) If you just want anyone to be able to register, then
dashboard>settings>general and tick ‘anyone can register’
You can then create a registration page (Dashboard>pages>add new) and put this shortcode in it
[bbp-register]then add that page to your menu.
b) if you want to ‘vet’ new users, then use a contact form plugin such as ‘contact form 7’ to create a registration form asking whatever questions you want. Set that form to email to whoever, and they then create the user (dashboard>users<add new), and either use wordpress to email the user the password (there is a tick box on the user creation, or copy the password, and send an email to the user yourself.
c) or use one of the many wordpress registration plugins (https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/register/)
The choice is yours 🙂
ok,
First port of call is always
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help
always worth a punt when things aren’t displaying
Then I’d suggest you install the plugin ‘what the file’, and then in a page that is not displaying right it will tell you in the toolbar what templates in your theme it is using at that point.
Apologies, I was mixing you up with another user whose hoster does not allow changes. if you have FTP capabilitiy then
I’d suspect you need a bbpress.php template

In reply to: seeking for ability to print a whole threadI’ve been thinking about this off and on.
Is this for any user, or moderators/admins or whom?
you would fix this issue by amending a template in your theme, but as you have already said that they don’t let you change stuff, then I suspect that you will have to live with what is being shown.
Sorry, limited ability to fix when you have limited ability to use WordPress
In reply to: How can i make bbpress forum & topic page fullwidth.#bbpress-forums { width: xx%; }In reply to: Popup images smaller than beforeok thanks, has someone else asking how to print a forum thread, and was hoping that might be the answer !
In reply to: Popup images smaller than beforeJust as a bit of knowledge does the pdf-generator-for-wp-public plugin let you download a topic and it’s replies?
or just blog posts?
In reply to: Filter Forum Widget to show a parent and child forumok, sorry, not a lot else I can do.
In reply to: Filter Forum Widget to show a parent and child forumok, install
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes
and you’ll see [bsp-display-topic-index] with lots of options including picking from selected forums – insert this in a text/html/shortcode box – if gutenberg, then a shortcode box.
In reply to: Popup images smaller than beforeok, try this is in the custom css part of your theme
#TB_window { width: 100% !important; max-width: 700px !important; }may or may not improve/fix – it all depends on the load order of your site’s css !
In reply to: Filter Forum Widget to show a parent and child forumso do you have 2 issues?
1. only showing on homepage
2. only showing the 3 forum topicsIn reply to: Popup images smaller than beforeok, just been playing.
I susoect this is caused by your plugin pdf-generatorfor-wp-public
which has a css rule on line 165
#TB_window { z-index: 1000000 !important; width: 90% !important; max-width: 400px; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); margin: 0 !important; box-shadow: 0 0 0 5000px rgb(0 0 0 / 74%) !important; }The width 90% and max width are poossibly the problem
Try deactivating that plugin and see if this fixes. If so, then we can look at some css to fix.
In reply to: Filter Forum Widget to show a parent and child forumso how are you doing the ‘widget’ on a specific page – ie only show it on one page?
In reply to: Multisite doesn’t show forumummm… try
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help
ooops, let me take a look, I thought that was there – sorry !!
if you do that, then the comment form fills the page, and you have to scroll down to even see the topic, and then scroll up again to reply. If there are several replies, you will want to read them, and again then need to do lots of scrolling rather than have the comment box immediately below the last reply.
I have not known anyone who has tried this and then not immediately changed it back.
Better to have a reply button above the topic that takes you instantly to the reply.
If you are using style back – see the buttons tab
In reply to: Popup images smaller than beforeyes I suspect it is wordpress update.
as a punt, try this – I have low hopes of it working 🙂
function fnctn_add_thickbox () { add_thickbox(); } add_action ( 'wp_enqueue_scripts','fnctn_add_thickbox' );Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use
In reply to: forums/forum/forum-name not matching templateok, it is a theme issue.
2 further things to suggest
you could look at this
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ item 8
and/or you could add this to your custom css
#bbpress-forums { width: 90% !important; }Otherwise you need to reach out to the theme authors
In reply to: How can i make bbpress forum & topic page fullwidth.In reply to: forums/forum/forum-name not matching templateok, I can’t replicate that with the theme
try
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help
In reply to: Topic not showing: Conflict with The Events Calendarthanks – ok I’m not seeing this, so either it is a setting, or a combination of theme/plugins
maybe try
ThemesAs a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and events calendar and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Then come back
In reply to: Popup images smaller than beforeany idea what plugin you are using to do the image pop-up? is this part of the bbPress Multi Image Uploader?
In reply to: How can I ”unlink” posters on a topic in forum?great – glad you are fixed 🙂
