It might be easier to list out everything that you need a forum software to do and then see if bbPress meets your list.
The thing for me personally is that if bbPress doesn’t currently do something then with the power of WordPress behind it, you can make it work with a little development. Other forum software is not quite as easy in my opinion.
Good luck!
Hi,
I am using version 2.5.1 of the bbpress plugin and 3.8 wordpress 3.7.1.
It is not possible for forum role:participant as well as forum role:Keymaster to edit any field in profile in the page with [bbp-register].
There appears an error message:
ERROR: Password couldn’t be empty.
ERROR: Password confirmation couldn’t be empty.
Even when the password area is blank and I also tested it with the password area filled in.

Maybe this is a bug, but I am not sure.
What can I do to fix this problem?
Hi, there are some forums as Forum Rules or What is this about?, that when clicked I just want the users to see a regular wordpress page where I expose those rules, or thos explanations that’s it. I don’t want they to fins a subforums and then click again and the they will see a topic explainig those details… So, what I need is to know how can I make a Title Forum to become a link to another regular page. Thank’s
It does work fine with WordPress 3.8 🙂
We should also update bbPress to also say “Compatible up to: 3.8” rather than the current 3.6.1 😉
I have used this plugin to test email, seems to test what’s needed.
Remember to deactivate/delete it after you have done your testing.

I’m having the same problem:
bbpress 2.3.2
WordPress 3.6.1.
The classes are set by the following:
<body class="topic bbpress single single-topic... <- bbp_is_single_topic
<body class="forum-archive bbpress archive... <- bbp_is_forum_archive
<body class="bbp-user-page single singular bbpress... <- bbp_is_single_user
<body class="bbp-view bbpress... <- bbp_is_single_view
Take a look at the source for any others here
When I try and do it manually on the WP admin dashboard, it also forces me to make them a user on the blog, which I don’t want. I want them to only access the forum.
bbPress users ARE WordPress users so as @ronthai points out just make the users WordPress role ‘Subscriber’ to which point you may as well just use the built in users panel in your WordPress admin.

Hi,
It was lovely of Milan to add hooks to his bbPress Digest (see here: http://blog.milandinic.com/2013/12/15/bbpress-digest-2-1-customizing-emails/)
But I think he does not have much free time for non-developers, which I can understand. I was wondering if anyone can helps with implementation?
I just want to update the From and the Subject.
Thanks
– Open up the WordPress admin users section
– Click delete on imported_LinDan94
– Check the box “Attribute all posts to:”
– Select the username LinDan94 from the dropdown
– Click ‘Confirm Deletion’

There might be other plugins also just do a search
On the WP side you can always just keep them at -No role for this site- or just subscriber, which just means they can read, but not write posts on the WP side.
Hi guys,
is there any solution to have same nicks in WordPress and phpBB, which you want to import into bbPress? For example, when I do this with my forum nick ‘LinDan94’, it’ll be overwrited with ‘imported_LinDan94’, because the same user exists in WordPress. How can I link this 2 accounts together?
Thanks in advance
I want want to remove the permission that moderators can delete topics and posts from the trash. But how can I change the standard permissions from bbPress?
I made this code but it doesn’t work because bbPress roles are separated from WordPress roles:
function changePermissions() {
$role = get_role('moderater');
$role->remove_cap('delete_others_topics');
$role->remove_cap('delete_others_replies');
}
add_action('init', 'changePermissions');
As it is used in many spots I would suggest you add the translation now.
Most of these translations only happened in the past two days so I would expect you won’t have to wait long for the translations to be updated.
Once you translate that string fill out this form https://he.wordpress.org/contact/
More info is also here in Hebrew https://he.wordpress.org/translate-wordpress/
In the WordPress dashboard on the left side, there was the “Forum” tab which is gone now and I cannot set up anything for the bbpress plugin now.
How can I fix this?
Anyone is using wordpress seo by yoast and bbpress please confirm that this is not a bug and this is my mistake: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-number-does-not-work?replies=1 . I have been struggling with Yoast and he says this is not a bug of WordPress SEO.
In short: please check to see if %%page%% in wordpress seo titles work for BBpress pages like topics and forums. For me, it does not work anymore.
Thanks,
It looks like “Topic Status” has not been translated yet 🙁
Hebrew 91% Translated 943 Strings Translated 92 Strings untranslated
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/he/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=untranslated&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc
You could help by translating those 91 remaining strings and then fill out the form here and let them know “There are some strings for bbPress waiting to be validated”, once these are approved you can update your translations.

Note: In the very near future any updated translations will arrive via WordPress’ automatic updates 🙂
If you are talking about this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-threaded-replies/ then you are probably correct as “threaded replies” are now build into bbPress.
I think we solved the issue. I believe the “threaded replies” plugin is not compatible with the latest WordPress update. Thanks!
This is not even a new test site as you mention above, this is still your old test site from that article I linked to above.
Whatever previous hacks and or workarounds you have added are most likely still in place causing the issue, delete that entire site and database and start with a clean slate, install WordPress with a clean database then install bbPress.
Maybe this plugin will do what you want 🙂
bbPress Protected Forums adds a metabox, shown while editing a forum, that allows you to disable new topic creation for determined user roles. The plugin is perfect for those situations that you may want your users to see the list of topics of a forum but don’t want them to create new topics.

@cyberdrone See this to get the translations or get started with translating bbPress. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-protected-forums/
@david7h6 What shortcode is broken?
I just read this http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/bbpress-user-profile-page-problem/
Whatever the issue was with your theme that you had the issue with in July and fixed in August is back. As you stated in that thread bbPress works fine with Twenty Twelve, I am not sure what these dynamic templates are or how they work but most certainly this is your issue and not a bbPress issue.
I would also recommend if you are going to setup a test site to test WordPress & bbPress, you don’t add all the extra plugins like BuddyPress, Members, Jetpack etc as they add more complexity to an issue you are trying to isolate, so you should remove all your plugins except bbPress.
