also respects posts hidden by s2member bbpress level restrictions

i was mistaken, topics hidden by s2member restrictions are hidden, but replies are not hidden in search results when using this snippet

davidddn, you may have another plugin or theme function interfering with this search code, so try testing with default wp theme and disable other plugins etc

otherwise, including bbpress in standard wp search results as a standard option in bbpress would be great

the bbpress search code posted above by robkk works fine for me with wordpress 4.2.2 + bbpress 2.5.8, shows expected bbpress topics and replies in wp search results for admins, non admin members, and non logged in users

also respects posts hidden by s2member bbpress level restrictions

try the wp “is_user_logged_in” function

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
	echo 'Welcome, registered user!';
} else {
	echo 'Welcome, visitor!';
}
?>

or

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
<p>Welcome logged in user<p>
<?php endif; ?>

s2member will allow creating a paid membership bbpress site and restrict access to specific forums by user role (membership level)

https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/

paid membership pro works with bbpress as well, requires (free) optional add-on plugins to restrict forums per member levels and/or per user role

any kind of wordpress/bbpress or other website that has open public registration needs very strong anti spambot protection, i use a few different plugins, but some spammers still get through sometimes, no one plugin will get them all…

these 2 work well together, but a few bots etc will still slip though, search this bbpress forum for more anti-spam info

pretty much every wordpress them is compatible w bbpress out of the box at this point, but this is a good place to start –

try “user_nicename” instead of “display_name”, this should return the proper value

you could also try to select the specific adsense css element within whatever bbpress element and then do something like

li.bbp-header .adsense {
display: none;
}

sorry, i think i may have misunderstood the OP

if your root wp root is site.tld/blog, i do not think you could have a bbpress 2.x forum at site.tld/forum, unless maybe some .htaccess trick might allow it

[Sam Rohn]

bbpress 1.0.2 is obsolete for a few years now and is no longer supported, current bbpress is version 2.5.4

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/

using wordpress and bbpress 2.x, you could set up wp at domain.tld/blog and put bbpress (2.x) on a wp page like domain.tld/blog/forum

see the bbpress codex for more info on setting up bbpress 2

these anti-spammer and security plugins look interesting too, but i have not tested them myself, they should work fine with bbpress but always test carefully for possible confilicts with other plugins you are using, especially plugins that have similar functionality

https://wordpress.org/plugins/avh-first-defense-against-spam/

and wordpress security is a bigger topic than just dealing with spammers, but sorting out the specifics is up to you 🙂

not really fair to blame the bbpress developers (free software made by volunteers) for not having every possible feature built into core, all forum apps (phpbb, etc) that i am aware of require separate anti-spam plugins

bbpress itself is just a plugin for wordpress, so anti-spam is more a wordpress problem than only a bbpress problem, and there are many anti-spam wordpress plugins out there, and dealing with spammers & bots etc is a BIG topic, and a continually evolving battle for anyone running any sort of website…

otherwise, i think it would help keep this forum orderly if there were a sticky or somesuch with a maintained list of commonly requested bbpress plugins like anti-spam, polls, custom avatars, granular membership permissions, etc

here are the wordpress anti-spam plugins i mentioned in the other topic, all work well with bbpress, start with wangguard which is the easiest to use, all require careful config and monitoring to make sure they are functioning properly

these 3 wordpress plugins are very effective in eliminating spambots and other spammers on wordpress/bbpress site

i use all 3 with no apparent problems, but read the notes for each plugin, all need to be properly configured and stop spammer reg can be very aggressive and may deny some of your legit visitors access if not properly configured

you would need to edit bbpress template files to add a unique css class to each bbpress role as well as add custom css, see this article for details –

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/roles-under-username-bb-author-role/

sam

[Sam Rohn]

try adding something like this to your child theme css, this will give you a light grey box around the role title, but there does not seem to be a selector to differentiate roles and thus use different color per role

div.bbp-author-role {
	background-color: #eee;
}

otherwise, you can use your browsers web inspector etc to examine any element and use that as starting point to alter appearance of bbpress
