bbpress just uses WordPress registration and login.
so either :
1. You allow uses to register using dashboard>settings>discussion>anyone can register, bbpress will allocate the role set in dashboard>settings>forums>default role
2. you manually add uses (dashboard>users>add user) upon receipt of a form (using say a form plugin – https://www.isitwp.com/best-wordpress-contact-form-plugins/ – to set up whatever details you want which is then emailed to you) – you then then allocate any wp and bbpress role you wish, or none !
3. you use a registration plugin – there are lots – this article describes some https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-user-registration-plugins/
I may have a fix – no promises, but give me a day or two to investigate
I kicked this around for some time, but I cannot see how to get bbpress working with a block theme.
I have raised a ticket on trac.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3458
I wish I could claim some credit – it was some code I found somewhere !
From looking at the code, I’m presuming that bp has that functionality somewhere else – this just seems to add it for topics/replies.
This is all part of WordPress’s mission to make it’s software totally unusable.
It has been reported to the bbpress authors.
site login is fine.
I tend to create a page – say aclled ‘login’ with this as the shortcode
[bbp-login]
and then have that page’s url as the one I send to users
@sbask – I’m still getting emails from your site
thanks – I don’t promise to do anything if it doesn’t – but would be useful to know
Just looked and I created a small plugin here http://www.rewweb.co.uk/download/bbp-mentions-suggest/
this says that it ‘Adds the Buddypress mentions suggest as you type to bbpress topics and replies’
so I got the idea from somewhere that it was a bp feature.
It was sometime ago that I wrote/copied this, so have no memory of whether it still works !
Sorry to continue the BP discussion here 🙂
@mike80222 – your input is always welcome and useful 🙂
sorry, test was invalid – I had my test user with too many privileges!
So, users who can ‘Throttle’ (see https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/ for list) bypass the duplicate check – so likely that if you were testing you will have that capability.
Can you comer back if you still have an issue.
I can repeat this issue on my test site post 5.9.3.
I’ll take a look to see.
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As 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 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
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
If you have buddypress, it’s a buddypress feature, so probably their support forum first
dashboard>topics or dashboard>replies and edit change status or delete from there
ok, so I need a precise set of steps to let me repeat
thanks, I’ve just loaded sydney 2.02 onto my test site, and I can create forums.
Can you confirm that you only have the theme and bbpress active?
If so, can you just confirm exactly what you are doing as a series of steps, eg dashboard>forums>add new…….. etc.
hmmm…
Possibly a theme or plugin conflict

@user847 – are the dates not correct on your site, or are you also asking why they are sometimes not right on here?
untested, but this should work
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_post_date', 'rew_date_only' , 20, 6) ;
function rew_date_only ($result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time ){
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
// 4 days, 4 hours ago
if ( ! empty( $humanize ) ) {
$gmt_s = ! empty( $gmt ) ? 'G' : 'U';
$date = get_post_time( $gmt_s, $gmt, $topic_id );
$time = false; // For filter below
$result = bbp_get_time_since( $date );
// August 4, 2012 at 2:37 pm
} else {
$date = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $gmt, $topic_id, true );
$result = $date;
}
// Filter & return
return apply_filters( 'rew_date_only', $result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time );
}
}
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

not something I can correct
let us know if you fix it
