For those who don’t have Forums, Topics, and Replies in the admin menus, I got mine to show by checking the “Auto role” setting in Settings->Forums.

Can someone explain in what situations this setting should be unchecked vs checked?
Thanks
I just figured it out. I found a bunch of other topics on this and found a hint at: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-3-default-role-not-assigned/
Basically I went to Settings->Forums and checked the “Auto role” checkbox that says “Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.”. After checking this the Forums, Topics, Replies menus showed up and my user was assigned a role. I then unchecked the Auto role setting since it was originally unchecked. not sure if it should be checked or unchecked in the long term.
How would I assign the super admin the Keymaster role? I don’t see the option in the profile screen. My super admin currently does not have the Forums tab in the menu since upgrading to 2.3 and i think it’s because I don’t have the keymaster role. (on the user list screen the Forums role is blank).
forgot to say, i am logged in as the super admin and looking at the user list shows my forum role as empty. I guess that’s the problem, my user wasn’t assigned the keymaster role.
I am having the same problem. My bbpress was fine before upgrading to 2.3. My site has a ton of plugins, but I don’t have any of the same plugins listed above. I tried deactivating all but bbpress and changing my theme to twenty twelve and it still doesn’t show. I’m thinking it must be something with old user permissions from bbpress 2.2.x or some option maybe that is interfering.
Would I be able to have a user that is an Editor be able to create forums? I made this user a Keymaster, but it looks like I have to grant the user the ‘manage_options’ capability to get the Forums menu item to show. Is there another way? Thanks.
