Okay, turned out the WooCommerce plugin was hiding the WordPress toolbar/dashboard in this situation.
Fixed this by pasting the code below into my child theme’s functions.php file.
Now the dashboard is available for bbPress moderators, but is still hidden for normal non-moderators, awesome!
add_action('init', function(){
if(class_exists('WooCommerce') && function_exists('bbp_get_user_role') && is_user_logged_in()){
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;
$bbp_get_user_role = bbp_get_user_role($user_id);
if($bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_keymaster' || $bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_moderator'){
add_filter( 'woocommerce_prevent_admin_access', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_disable_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
}
});
Hi Robin, thanks for taking the time to read and reply. No problem, will try and explain it better.
I am upgrading a site that was one of the earliest versions of joomla to a fresh wordpress. The oldest site used the forum plug-in kunena but I am afraid there is no way to export all the entries made to that forum through the years due to its age and lack of current support.
What I am trying to do is copying and pasting every single forum topic from the joomla site to the newer WP and the idea is for them to showcase the original date they were published.
90% of this topics consist on just the first comment made by customers with normally no more replies. What I find now replicating these topics on bbPress is I can set a publishing date internally but, as it shows in the screenshot below, the ‘last post’ date matches the moment in time I created that topic on the new site instead of the original creation date I want them to have.
Here’s the screenshot again.
Hope it makes sense. If not, please let me know.
Thanks again.
Hi
If I disable comments completely on my wordpress site in the discussion settings will this affect bbPress or will bbPress function ok?
In the past I allowed comments but now I have bbPress I don’t want to allow comments anywhere except in bbPress topics/replies.
I ask because I know that bbPress takes moderation settings from Discussion settings.

Hi Robin, the WordPress top toolbar doesn’t seem to appear for users with Moderator forum role and Subscriber WordPress role. And trying to go to a dashboard link (like …/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply), redirects that user to their account page.
Giving them “Contributor” or “Editor” role makes the toolbar show up.
Hmmm…
Let me know if you have any ideas (if you have time, super appreciated).
Here’s the website if it helps: https://funkytime.tv/forums/
Hi, I would really like to give forum moderators access to the “Topics” and “Replies” section of the WordPress Dashboard. So they can easily see all replies and topics that need moderating in one place like I can as WP admin.
Is there a way to give moderators access to the WordPress Dashboard without giving them the full “Contributor” or “Editor” WP role capabilities?
I have tried creating a custom role with the “User Role Editor” plugin, but can’t find a way to give them dashboard access, without also giving them the ability to edit non-forum posts on the website.
Or, does anyone know a way/plugin that shows moderators all the topics/replies that need moderating on the front end?
Thank you, Sam

Funny reading this as i had to install Disable Embeds plugin to STOP the previews in bbpress/wordpress/buddypress as it made a mess to my format and overlapped everything.i can only assume my Kleo theme caused it to “work” in bbpress. So maybe try a different theme?
We have exported our forum data using the wordpress menu – Tools – Export We have exported the Forums, Topics and Replies and then imported them to our new site. When looking at the WordPress menu it shows the 4 forums we have imported with the number of topics and replies but when you click on to view the forum we receive the following message
This forum has 963 topics, 2,570 replies
Oh, bother! No topics were found here.
If I click on the Topics menu in the wordpress i can see all the topics and read them but does not show the replies but it has the replies cunt and voice replies
and if i click on the replies menu in WordPress i can see the replies
But not working all together – has any one got any suggestions
I have tried creating a new forum and this works fine so i know my theme etc works ok with forums we are using wordpress 5.3.2 and PHP 7
Thanks
David
bboress has widgets for latest topics and latest replies
My style pack plugin has latest activity widget and several shortcodes including one to display latest topics
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>widgets
for details
The proper location of translation files for bbPress was a mystery for me too. It looks like, that for bbPress 2.6 you only need to put them into (a change from previous version)
…\wp-content\languages\plugings\
And yes, if you download from
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/
you get a po file with a wrong name, like
wp-plugins-bbpress-stable-fi.po
which you must chagne.

I have just updated BBPress and now my forum toolbar buttons are really hard to read.
How do I change the button text colour from white to black?
(On the text tab, the visual tab is fine)
Here is a link to a topic:
ID these oldhammer goblins
SOLVED: I was able to fix this issue by changing the following setting…
In the WordPress dashboard, go to Settings > Forums
Under “Moderation Options” change moderation from “None” to “Custom”
Then select the “All posts below the English character threshold” option.
Now new users can still post replies/topics without having to be manual approved. But posts from users with a moderation flag will be held for review.
Hope that helps and works for you!
Best, Sam
Private groups
and set up topic permissions tab, which allows for this
bbpress and buddypress just use WordPress login, and WordPress lets plugin authors do this – only so much you can expect the WordPress authors to support. Wanguard shut down due to stress on author.
As a plugin author, I sympathise – it’s amazing how much abuse you get for providing something for free.
Plenty of solutions out there that use a variety of methods. eg
The Best Alternative For WangGuard With Scaled Protection
Ive never understood why bbpress, wordpress or buddypress dont have option for random questions where Admin can setup a dozen or so questions and answers to registration form. Seems like a simple way to help fight spam registration and simple too! If answer is not correct then registration is not possible. Wangaurd plugin had this and never had spam registration when that was installed.
Must be a reason bbpress, wordpress or buddypress dont offer such a simple solution to at least help stop spam does anyone know why?
Hi, I would like to hide user’s IP addresses from moderators, but keep them visible for keymasters.
Searching this topic I found solutions to hide the IP addresses for everyone, but not to keep it visible for keymasters.
Any ideas?
Thank you,

Hello, thanks for you reply. So you suggest to disable all the plugin and try with bbpress and GD Att. alone.
I’ll try it and let you know.
I queued to an existing topic here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permission-to-attach-image-isnt-working/
It seems there’re others with my problem.
Hi,
My GD bbPress Attachments plugin gets file uploaded through media library, and MIME Types check is done in WP core. So, MIME control code should work. But, many security plugins also limit MIME types, so it might be related to that.
But, my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/ has MIME Types control alowing you to add new types and limit upload to select types.
Problem is that WordPress checks actual MIME Type for files, so if the extension is not registered with the file’s real MIME Type, it will fail. If you have archive that you connect to text file MIME, it will fail, because WP uses PHP function to read file MIME if possible.

I’d suggest you raise a ticket in bbpress attachments
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/
Done, I hope this will help to find a solution. By now, many thanks for your help.
I’ve had a quick look, but could spend the rest of Christmas looking in code
I’d suggest you raise a ticket in bbpress attachments
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/
have a look at this
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/44777/upload-mimes-filter-has-no-effect
seems maybe you can only have one text/plain entry?
the types are listed in
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_allowed_mime_types
and maybe try
add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'wpse44777_upload_mimes' );
function wpse44777_upload_mimes( $mime_types )
{
// First we unregister the old key
unset( $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h'] );
// Then we add a new one
! isset( $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h|nvn'] ) AND $mime_types['txt|asc|c|cc|h|nvn'] = 'text/plain';
return $mime_types;
}
I thought I would widen this out to the broader community too.
I started my query here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-download-counts/
Would it be possible to display the number of times an attachment has been downloaded in parentheses? This is for the GD Attachments Plugin.
