Hi,
It’s manual, so nothing automated, but I had more or less the same issue and created my own plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/
You can hide/order users in different ways and (un)subscribe them with a click. If you would also use bbp-private-groups, it also shows the link with those groups.
Again, nothing automatic (and still not in it’s final version, some warnings still to remove), but we have a rather stable userbase and when a new user comes in we assign the subscriptions needed.

I noticed something interesting, there is no problem when I log out using the BuddyPress widget.
Do you have a multisite installation?
No.
Is WordPress installed in a sub-folder?
No.
What is the url you get when you try to logout?
With the WordPress toolbar: http://original-beast.revhost.fr/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=323d408059&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Foriginal-beast.revhost.fr%2F%3Floggedout%3Dtrue
With the BuddyPress widget: http://original-beast.revhost.fr/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Foriginal-beast.revhost.fr%2F&_wpnonce=323d408059
What areas did you try to logout from? The WordPress Toolbar, bbPress login widget, something else?
WordPress toolbar.
Did this issue occur when you immediately activated bbPress? Or did the issue occur after a certain upgrade?
Only when bbPress is activated.
Did you have any cache plugins activated? Have you tried flushing the cache? If it is deactivated reactivate the plugin and flush the cache.
I don’t have any cache plugin.
Anything that can cache activated on your site, server cache, cloudflare, object cache, opcode caching?
I don’t have that.
What hosting provider do you have?
Revolta Hosting

I have same problem, I have installed the latest bbpress plugin to my wordpress site. There isn’t a single tab or subcategory to be found in my dashboard that relates to BBPress.
give us solution.
Hi, I’m unsing that patch in a couple of sites, and it seems to work. Where do you think there is a problem? In my blogs I’ve just added a filter which replaces the moderation key used by bbpress (the variable $blacklist in the code which initially contains the moderation keys of WordPress).
Bye, Stefano.
Any of the main bbPress settings are in Settings > Forums in the WordPress backend.
Does your forum look sort of like this?
http://support.aquagraphite.com/
That topic you linked to mentions about 2 unread posts plugins.
There is also about 4 more on the WordPress plugin repository.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress+unread
Yes great find, thank you Robkk,
Now you can also do this, ..and make the pagination an unordered list like it should be by the default. 🙂
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_pagination( $args ) {
$args['type'] = 'list';
$args['prev_text'] = 'previous';
$args['next_text'] = 'next';
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_pagination' );
WP Codex: all those args should probably work now.

What is posted in here might help you out, but I am not sure. Unless there is already a WordPress plugin that can do this, this might be considered custom development and you may need to hire a developer.

Wordpress 4.3
buddypress 2.3.3
Hi
A installation I have been asked to look at currently is throwing a 500 error when you submit the new topics. It has been recently migrated from another AWS instance and was working fine before.
The rest of the site works fine so I don’t think it is a db issue. The error is a bit useless as its literally just saying 500 error on /community/forum/post-question/ (the same page as the details were entered into)
Has anyone else seen this before especially after a migration?
Thanks
Hello there. Please have a look at our bbPress forum at http://hanfjournal.de/forum/
It’s still in startup phase, the design is okay but as you see, it is now left aligned to the window border, whereas the rest of the page content (the menu, the footer, all non-forum pages) have a empty area at the left edge.
How do I change the forum alignment now?
The theme has these “grids”, now it’s the first grid, and I tried to put the forum to other grids but this way made it worse. So I think I rather make the forum to leave some free space.
Also, the forum is looking very greyish and pale in the page context 🙁
How do you recommend to change the look with simple changes, e.g. drawing a frame around the forum or background colour? I am not experienced in CSS design, but I can apply changes if I know what and where.
I tried themes for BBpress that come as WordPress plugins, but they all did not work (to be precise, were looking ugly) in our theme. Which is “Quark” with many modifications in a child theme.
Just curious..
When I’m at a singel forum page I see a list of all topics from X forum – great but at the button I have this bbp_forum_pagination_links() function and I want to change the HTML structure this function provides but when I search about this function I see this in the Core.

Yes there is a filter but where does the real magic happen or where is the links structure been created.
Other option, would it maybe also possible to use a native WordPress pagination function but just link it to the forums Post Type?
I cannot find a better alternative to BuddyPress activity, sorry.
Using WordPress comments would get too complicated.
You might need to hire a developer to create you something like BuddyPress activity but I guess lighter and simple.
See if this plugin helps/still works.
bbp additional shortcodes
Also Robin’s other plugin might have the same functionality somewhere in it.

What is your site link so I can see what happens if I log in?
Also send me some test user login details that has the role Subscriber/participant.

Try some troubleshooting if you haven’t already.
Troubleshooting
Try a default theme activated with only bbPress activated to see if the problem persists.
Also ask a couple of these questions.
Do you have a multisite installation?
Is WordPress installed in a sub-folder?
What is the url you get when you try to logout?
What areas did you try to logout from? The WordPress Toolbar, bbPress login widget, something else?
Did this issue occur when you immediately activated bbPress? Or did the issue occur after a certain upgrade?
Did you have any cache plugins activated? Have you tried flushing the cache? If it is deactivated reactivate the plugin and flush the cache.

Hello,
When bbPress is activate on my website, I can login without problem but then I can’t logout anymore (I have to delete cookies).
I’ve tested on a fresh WordPress install without plugins (except bbPress of course).
WordPress : 4.3
bbPress : 2.5.8
Single site, no subdomain. I’m trying to install it as a wordpress plugin on a standard site installation. Nothing fancy.
Questions like this might go into the wordpress.org forums, or sites like stackoverflow or reddit I guess.
Search in the WordPress plugin directory.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=football+score
Replacing blog comments with topic replies is scheduled for 2.7, but you can also use the handy bbPress topics for posts plugin.
You can create custom roles with custom capabilities in bbPress.
Custom Capabilities
There is an API or an example API in the Jetpack plugin.
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/jetpack/trunk/class.jetpack-bbpress-json-api-compat.php
There have been users trying to make apps with bbPress.
WordPress JSON Rest API bbPress and Android
Also know there has been work to introduce an API into WordPress.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/
And there already have been plugins in development for compatibility between the WP-REst API and bbPress like this one.
https://github.com/thenbrent/BB-API (Alpha version)
Any contributions for any work toward any type of bbPress Rest API are welcome and much appreciated.
Ok, I’m running the newest version of WordPress, running the Irridescent theme by RocketTheme, and just tried (3 times) to install BBpress.
When I activate the first time I got directed to http://angeryamericansurvival.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=bbp-about
Then I get an error that says “You do not have sufficient permission to access this page.”
I’m the admin.. so I know I have sufficient permissions. lol.
I also don’t see ANY sign that the plugin is installed.
I’ve deactivated and reinstalled two more times. Nothing.
I never get the activation page on subsequent installations. I had to go back in my browser history to search for it.
Any ideas?
I’d really like to use BBpress but if even the initial installation causes problems, then I’m worried.
I tried switching themes to Twenty-Twelve to troubleshoot a theme-related issue but same results.
The information you got was probably for the bbPress v1 standalone forum software. You can tell the information is from bbPress v1 when it is about 4 or more years old.
The latest version of bbPress is now a WordPress plugin. So any admin area would use the WordPress admin. Same thing with BuddyPress they use use the WordPress administration area.

Hi
we run latest wordspress 4.3 +bbpress 2.5.8+buddypress 2.3.3 and we are just told that
“bbPress also has admin side, and there you can easily remove large number of topics filtered by forum or user”
I did google and someone say admin panel path is /bb-admin ? but it shows 404 and I do see it on top menu bar either
is there any any admin panel for bbpress/buddypress or it is just integrated with wordpress’s admin?
it NOT, how to do these “remove large number of topics filtered by forum or user”? I do not see function like that on wordpress’s admin though~
