Yes I did. When I tried different themes the WordPress dashboard went blank. It seems only my themes work. I tried a different forum plugin and it worked. Kinda disappointed though because I wanted bbpress to work. Seems like there is a problem with bbpress running on the server I’m using
1. Users are set to be able to edit their posts/replies, and the Edit button does show up, however when they click on Edit it simply goes to 404. Admins also cannot edit via the Edit button without 404.
This can happen also in some default themes like Twenty Fifteen (should work in Twenty Twelve though), but can also be easily fixed by placing the bbPress template files into a child theme.

2. User profiles are not showing up. Upon clicking on an avatar or manually typing in the profile url (with my username) it returns 404.
Do profiles show up without BuddyPress?
(I also need to figure out how to put an ‘Edit Profile’ button somewhere, but that won’t matter if I can’t fix these other two issues)
Works for bbPress profiles though, I might update it for BuddyPress later.
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
I just found this plugin and it seems to mention some bbPress support
https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-encoder-bundle/
It lists a code example for bbPress here
https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-encoder-bundle/faq/
Please help: “After installing bbpress on intranet, wordpress dashboard or entire back end disappers” I did the manual install. I place the file in the plugins folder and when I press activate, the entire screen goes blank. Please help..
Hi Am not sure where my other 2 posts went, have posted twice with code, maybe that is the problem the code. My problem is that the replies to topics appear empty.

Thank you Melanie
bbPress 2.5.8 is out. It prevents 2 potential security related issues, and is a strongly suggested update for all bbPress 2.x installations:
* Improved ajax actions
* Improved user query parsing
Check the 2.5 milestone for a comprehensive changelog of fixes.
Installed bbpress through wordpress and everything is going great except for two problems.
1. Users are set to be able to edit their posts/replies, and the Edit button does show up, however when they click on Edit it simply goes to 404. Admins also cannot edit via the Edit button without 404.
2. User profiles are not showing up. Upon clicking on an avatar or manually typing in the profile url (with my username) it returns 404. (I also need to figure out how to put an ‘Edit Profile’ button somewhere, but that won’t matter if I can’t fix these other two issues)
What I’ve already done:
-Switched to a default theme, didn’t change anything, switched back to Gameplanet theme
-Disabled all plugins except bbpress, problem persisted
-Changed permalink type to something else and then back again, problem persisted
I would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered as I really need this working by next week. If it’s something that involves an in-depth look I’d even be willing to pay someone to help, although I fear it’s probably a simple problem that I’m just overlooking.

This is an s2member problem.
BBpress uses the same database meta_key to store both the wordpress and bbpress names. So there are two entries in the wordpress database
so in usermeta the meta-key against a user for wp_capabilities will be set to something like
a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}
I would suggest that in bulk mode, s2member is just overwriting the whole of this value with the new s2member level, thus deleting the bbpress value.
If you post the above to the s2member support site, they should understand the issue
Apologies all, this is not a bbPress issue, when bbPress is activated without any other plugins there are no notices, the notices only appear once activating both Yoasts’ WordPress SEO and News SEO plugins.
If you comment out this out of the News SEO plugin file class-meta-box.php
add_filter( 'add_extra_wpseo_meta_fields', array( $this, 'add_meta_fields_to_wpseo_meta' ) );
In the News SEO plugin the issue is resolved and no notices are displayed.
It appears to be related to pre_get_posts being used in WordPress SEO by Yoast, this was picked up in the WordPress Core ticket https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31231
yes, use the latest activity widget in my plugin

I am receiving emails from all topics and replies to the forum.
The issue is that I am receiving those to an email address that is no longer and I get them as bouncebacks instead of proper emails.
I cannot find out where the setting to that subscription is. Can someone help me find this?
1) The email is sent to an email address that is not associated to any user in the database.
2) The emails have the “You are receiving this email because you subscribed to a forum topic.” footer.
3) I am getting those emails for all and any content posted to the forum.
4) The emails are sent to an address that is different from the one in “general settings” of the wordpress page settings.
ok, found the link in your other post.
Posts and comments are a wordpress thing and controlled by wordpress roles
Forums, topics and replies are a bbopress thing and controlled by bbpress roles
You’ll find wordpress roles at the top of a user edit, and bbpress at the bottom
Dashboard>users>all users>edit user and that’ll get you to the screen
and yes functions.php is where you should put it, but generally in a child theme
Functions files and child themes – explained !
so lets see if it will let me explain the other stuff with out being given an error…
Hi okay so I added 2 more roles by following the link above. The new roles show up and I can choose them in the User’s Profile and almost work with no problem but I am having a few problem. I did not give permission to alter “Posts” or “Comments” for either new role that I created and it is allowing the new roles to change everything about Posts and Comment sections. I did give permission to alter “Forum” in the new role Moderator-FLO but that doesn’t work.
So I checked to see if the regular Moderator role that comes with the plugin allowed for editing of the Forum and it also does not. I don’t know where to go to check the permissions to see if I can change it but I have been searching for the last hour and a half.
I also checked to see if the regular Participant role that comes with the plugin worked like it was suppose to and that one is perfectly fine although I would like to change creating topics temporarily.
In your forum on the link above that I have added I could not find where it says to add the coding, so I just assumed, taking a chance that it would work in the function.php file in my theme. So that is where the coding is located.
Can you tell me where to find the original Moderator permissions that comes with your plugin? Or anything to tell me what I could be doing wrong? These roles are super important to this type of forum and I could use all the help I can get…. This is really my first time working with WordPress but I’ve been doing HTML since 1998 self taught… I have been out of the game awhile.
Ok so I’ll simplify this a bit:
My Moderator role will not allow any editing of the Forums but will of Topics and Replies. I am able to see the backend WordPress menu and frontend. I also don’t want it to have access to editing Post or Comments in WordPress pages.
My New Role “Moderator-Fol” I can’t access the backend WordPress menu at all to even see what it will let me do or not do. On the frontend login it will not let me create a forum at all, only allow to create, edit, or delete topics and replies.
My New Role “Participant-Fol” Is able to create topics and I would like to be able to turn this off for now until I figure this all out. It can’t access the site through the back end and that is fine. Other then that I am almost ready to go. I am doing this site as a charity for a Mental Health Support Group so I can’t afford any paid for plugins.
Thank you SO MUCH! in advance.

Ok so I’ll simplify this a bit:
Our forum is open to members only, utilizing private forums and private topics. Something happened and my Participant users can no longer open private topics. Setting aside the “something happened”, how can I verify that my users all have the read_private_topics and read_private_replies capability? If they do not, how can I give them all that capability? We have about 3,000 users, so it cannot be done one at a time.
If they do have read_private_topics and read_private_replies capability, what could be another cause for them being able to see the private categories and forums, but not see the list of topics or see the topics directly?
Thanks,
Mike
WordPress 4.2.2
bbPress 2.5.7-5693
Hi guys,
In the passed I created a website with bbpress.
The default bbpress theme was horrible bad readable.
So I found a way to change the theme so it would match my wordpress theme.
After update the theme got reset to the default bbpress theme again.
Now I have created a new wordpress website.
I stumble at the same problem again.
Is there something simple how I can change the bbpress theme (user friendly)
I have been reading forums and this is really giving me an headache, all solution are based on editing files, creating child theme ccs files etc etc, all complicated stuff.
There must be something user friendly to change the default bbpress theme right?
Is does not have to match my wordpress theme, if I can just select something different that would be great.
Friendly regards,
Pascal

It might be that some comment form data is on the template that bbPress is inheriting.
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
You can create a bbpress.php and remove any comment code , or you can install this plugin and disable comments and trackbacks on bbPress post types.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/no-page-comment/
Peter’s Login Redirect plugin should work for what you want to do.
I am guessing since you are saying “forum page” and you made that private , that you created a page and put the forum index shortcode in it.
Well since you chose to make that page private , it makes sense that Admin rights can only see it.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Content_Visibility#Private_Content
What you should do is just redirect to yoursite.com/forums and whatever forum you want private
make the forum private by editing the forum and setting it to private there.
New install of bbpress v2.7.5 on wordpress v4.2.2
Question: How can I redirect to /forum after login? I have forum page set as a private page. bbpress forums need to be private and only accessed by registered users.
I have searched for info on how to login/register and then redirect to a forum and haven’t been successful in finding a simple solutions. Some solutions look too complicated regarding writing code. I would assume there is a simple solution here.
I have tried a redirect plugin (peter’s) and doesn’t work for bbpress users set with any bbpress role but does work if I login in as wp-admin with wp admin rights.
It was https://thedomain.com/ for wordpress and bbpress was standard, so https://thedomain.com/forums/
For the path, it was standard for WP Engine:
/nas/wp/www/cluster-1234/thedomain/
The log was just getting spammed with that error until I added that array(). But it wasn’t the big problem, so I wouldn’t have looked or noticed it unless I was having some other unrelated issue.
not yet but there are plans to include something to list moderators
