Hi,
I am trying to install a BBPress Forum to a website I am working on. However, after installing the plug-in the only page I can access is the edit page. Settings, Activate, and About bring me to a blank page with text that states “You Do Not Have Sufficient Permissions to Access this Page”
After installing the plug in, I clicked activate plug in from the page that shows it has been installed. I received the error message, but it still appears that the plug in has been activated, because it now says “deactivate” underneath it on the plug ins list.
The theme is Bretheon version 2.0.1, and WordPress version 3.6.1. Everything is up to date, and everything else is running smoothly. I do not have any other problems besides this plug in.
All I want to do is install a simple forum where people can communicate with each other.
Any more information I will gladly give. I am teaching myself web development, and want to be the best that I can possibly be. This installation however is giving me headaches!! Please help!!

Hi Guys,
I’m using WordPress 3.6.1 and BBpress 2.4.1 , but i having the same problem after installing and unistaling the BBpress plugin. I can’t create topics and a message “Error : Are You Sure you want to do this?” appears, please someone give me a solution for this
If you’ve installed bbpress WP tweaks plugin (in addition to the bbpress plugin) then there are two login widgets.
the one you want is called “bbpress login widget” rather than the “bbpress login links widget” that you have used.
oh the login is under the Forum menu
oh ok

thank you again for helping
it should keep you on the page where you have placed it.
so back to earlier question – what is your url?
A url is the unique resource locator otherwise known as your website address eg http://www.gospbc.co.uk
Post it here, and I can have a look at your site as a user to see what you’re describing
Thank you so much for that it does look much better! It still though brings me to a wordpress login screen when I click on login?
Do my default discussion settings have anything to do with it?
correction to the above – forgot that like you I didn’t like the default login form.
Install bbpress WP tweaks – it has a login that appears in the sidebar, so takes away the WP login. looks much better
eg
http://www.gospbc.co.uk/forums
Also gives you a bbpress sidebar which you can use with your forum pages and other goodies
Hi thank you so much for replying but what URL are you asking of and how do I find it? Sorry I do not know much about this.
the bbpress login widget should just log them in, you shouldn’t get other login screens – what your url?
Hi
Ive setup the forum and have the register link in the widget setup properly. My test profile was able to register and receive an activation email. But when/if I log out and try to sign back in using the BBPress Login Widget, after I click “login” it takes me to the wordpress login?
Is this how the login is supposed to work? Is there a way to login using the widget that doesnt prompt them to login with wordpress? Why after clicking on “login” does it take the user to another login screen and just log them in on that same page?
I dont feel secure if users can maybe access the backend to the site, but it looks like this is how this site works as well?
Ive installed a BBPress plugin called BBPress – No Admin does this solve my fear of them being able to access the backend?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im running WordPress 3.6.1 with BBPress 2.4.1 and BuddyPress 1.8.1
Thank you for helping me!
I have tried that too, with the same effect, everything disappears. If I am working in the wordpress dashboard even that disappears.
Best regards,

Your best bet here will be to create a ticket on Trac for this:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
That’s what I expected but it doesn’t work. The default WordPress behavior is to show them all in in a list anyway. Something is screwy in Denmark.
In your Admin backend if you select the “All Forums” option from the Forums tab you will see a line at the top with options “All”, “Published”, “Private” and “Hidden”. Clicking “Hidden” should allow you to edit the hidden forums.
WP 3.6.1
bbPress 2.4.1
After creating a new forum and setting visibility to hidden and then publishing it, I can no longer access the forum to edit it – it’s not listed. But the number indicator of my hidden forums does appear above the (empty) list. Clicking on that link has no effect.
The forum does appear on the frontend of the site and functions properly with topics etc. I just can’t access the forum in the backend.
Add a filter that removes the links.
Copy the code below into your function.php file: (you might need to add <?php at the start and ?> at the end)
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_author_link’, ‘remove_author_links’, 10, 2);
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_author_link’, ‘remove_author_links’, 10, 2);
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_topic_author_link’, ‘remove_author_links’, 10, 2);
function remove_author_links($author_link, $args) {
$author_link = preg_replace(array(‘{<a[^>]*>}’,'{}’), array(”,”), $author_link);
return $author_link;
}
I found the solution!
The solution was to stop being an idiot and realise I was looking at the WordPress comment form. Duuuuh.
I hope this thread brought some light amusement to your day 🙂
ps. This just sprang…
Decisions, not Options
When making decisions these are the users we consider first. A great example of this consideration is software options. Every time you give a user an option, you are asking them to make a decision. When a user doesn’t care or understand the option this ultimately leads to frustration. As developers we sometimes feel that providing options for everything is a good thing, you can never have too many choices, right? Ultimately these choices end up being technical ones, choices that the average end user has no interest in. It’s our duty as developers to make smart design decisions and avoid putting the weight of technical choices on our end users.

That plugin looks fine to use with bbPress 2.x, you just need to download either the bbpress-close-old-posts.php file and upload it to your plugins folder, or download the .zip, extract to a folder and upload that folder to your plugins folder.
But since it’s not listed at bbpress.org plugins list, I’m not sure if it’s safe or even compatible with my current install.
You will at times find many themes and plugins that are not hosted on WordPress.org, sometimes they are proprietary code, other times they are just quick snippets of code, it doesn’t mean they are unsafe and usually a quick note to the author will confirm if they work with the latest version of bbPress.
btw, searching for “lock” at bbpress.org plugins, at the bottom of the page you will see: ”Viewing 1 to 4 (4 total)” but there are only 3 plugins listed.”
Thanks, this is a known issue and will hopefully be fixed soon.
This will be because the settings in your database to match the old domain vs new domain.
You will be best of setting up a fresh/clean install of WordPress on your localhost XAMPP install, exporting your old data from your existing site eg. http://example.com and then importing it into your new WordPress install.
If you can export your Yahoo Groups data you should be able to import it into bbPress
If you can export it as CSV data then the following discussion should get you on the right track to get your data imported into WordPress/bbPress.

There are known issues using most WordPress cache plugins:
This is probably the best thread on the matter:
Getting WP Super Cache / W3 Total Cache to work with bbPress 2.0
@tatiana_k Are you using any custom templates for bbPress in your theme folder? (Possibly some ‘older’ Twenty Ten bbPress templates)
The issue is that I see both topics & replies and want to determine what is different between your setup and mine.
