yes if you use bbpress/buddypress, but add my private groups plugin, then you can add groups which can have separate access to some forums, and if wanted common access to others
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups
Hello,
We are looking to setup a WordPress website in which we are bringing Group A together with Group B to exchange knowledge.
Since this is WordPress we were investigating bbPress, BuddyPress, and something like CM Answers.
Anyone have any experience being able to separate registered users into specific groups using any of these plugins?
Thanks for your help.
Hello
Thx a lot for your help!
I have now updated my Website from wordpress but it still doesn`t work ;(
where would you change the language? at my wordpress desk? the desk is german already… 🙁
thx!!!!!!
I presume that you are wanting different logged in users to see different things?
If so you can restrict who sees what using my private groups plugin

When using a translated bbpress, some titles in the WordPress Admin Dashboard for “Right Now in Forums” are missing. Where can I check this in the code?
Here is a screeshot http://prnt.sc/ccs85f
Using bbPress 2.5.10-6063
Hi –
(For our forums here – http://www.zetaunit.com/forums/ – W.P. V 4.5.3, using Avada 4.02)
I see in the documentation that it is possible to replace the default bbpress wordpress template for
the Forum Root Slug ‘Forums’
by adding a page in WordPress called /forums/
and then inserting the bbpress shortcode for forum archives.
I tried this also with ‘forum’ for individual forums, and I see other Slugs available in Settings > Forum
Single Forum Slugs
Custom slugs for single forums, topics, replies, tags, views, and search.
Forum
Topic
Topic Tag
Topic View
Reply
Search
Am I missing something, or is there a simple way to replace each of the pages used by bbpress by default, just by creating pages named e.g. ‘topic’, ‘topic-view’ etc? And then insert the relevant shortcode for that content?
It seems like ‘it should be there’ but can’t find documentation apart from customising my child theme etc.
Thanks in advance 🙂

I think your looking for an unread posts plugin. There are quite a few you can use for bbPress.
bbPress Pencil Unread
bbPress Mark as Read
bbPress New Topics
bbPress unread Posts v2
bbPress go to first unread post
I personally like bbPress Pencil Unread, because with a few lines of custom css I can either have the new label or a custom image before the forum/topic title like in the other plugins. And because it has a template tag to include a mark all as read button somewhere. Other users like mark as read as it is close to vBull functionality and the go to first unread post plugin as its close to phpbb functionality. You probably would just need to use Unread Posts v2.
Hi Eric,
This issue is already reported in https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2677. A first patch is available so people are working on it to get it fixed in one of the next versions.
Pascal.
I don’t think you have to download the files anymore. I think all you have to do is change your language in Settings > General now.
Here is the list of translations. German seems to be at 100%.
I guess try what I said above, because a WordPress update possibly changed the language directory for each plugin.
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress
For posts users make in a given period of time. I think there is a WordPress backend statistics plugin. I think it shows the amount of posts a user posts in a month? Not entirely sure if I my memory is correct.
You might want to hire a developer to create this for you.
Robin might be on to something with the url thing. Robins suggestion works fine, but I usually suggest looking into using the Reveal IDs plugin, as it really makes it easier by just adding a column in posts like Forums > All Forums list and users list in the WordPress backend.

You already should have a way to view topics with no replies. By default bbPress has a feature called Views. It allows you to display topics with various different arguments. Topics with no replies should be one of the 2 default views which are Most popular topics and Topics with no replies
You can link to the existing page using the Topic Views widget in your sidebar, or you can use a shortcode already provided by bbPress to display a view shortcode in a page and add it to a menu. You can also also instead add a custom link to a menu in the menus section in Appearance > Menus if you do not need to use a shortcode in a page.
The widget is called the Topic Views widget that you will be able to see in Appearance > Widgets or you can manage your sidebars using the Customizer API in Appearance > Customize in the WordPress backend.
https://codex.bbpress.org/features/widgets/
The shortcode you would want to use is [bbp-single-view id='no-replies']
https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/#views
If for some reason you may not already have the default view. See if its related to a theme/plugin function removing the default view by troubleshooting.
Plugin Troubleshooting
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/#plugins
Theme Troubleshooting
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/#themes
If its not a theme/plugin issue we can check to see if its a possible bug causing an issue.
@rateyourway The “freshness” term has been removed from bbPress 2.6 (/dev) so you will not see it in the translation files, it is still there for the current bbPress 2.5.x see:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=freshness&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc#
Edit: The string may also be coming from your theme, switch themes to one of the included “Twenty” themes to double check.
I’ve just added that capability to one of my existing shortcodes in my style pack plugin, so if you install
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
and then see
Dashhboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes for a description of how to use it in detail, but
[bsp-display-topic-index noreply='true']
used in a page will get you what you want

I have made many attempts to import my xenforo into bbpress. Import will stop in the middle / all posts will be made by anonymous users etc.
So today I used bbpress alpa version (2.6) to import my xenforo forum. Everything came through except users.
Their names are appearing in the topics and replies but they are not found in the list of users. I think they are being considered as anonymous users. So the number of voices in a thread is zero even though the thread has 14 replies.
I took screenshots of the entire process. I am also willing to give access to moderators here.
If this issue is fixed, I can import bbpress to my live wordpress site.
Thank you.
Hello together

Robin:
Originally: I hid the top primary menu by adding a bit of CSS to the child theme:
.primary-navigation {
display: none;
}
…but I have since enabled the top primary menu.
HTH,

Robkk,
I am already using
* WordPress 4.6
* bbPress 2.5.10
* BuddyPress 2.6.2
It seems all these are the latest at this time.
Well I don’t entirely understand where you are getting at, but I mean its possible for a user to have 3 different roles.
For example.
Site Role – Subscriber – Default WordPress role
Forum Role – Participant – Default bbPress role
Membership Role – Premium Member – Some paid membership framework plugins role
If you want 1 custom site role with different capabilities that other roles might have, consider creating a custom user role. But be aware of what each capability does, so that you will not give your users permissions that you do not exactly want them to have.
Creating a custom bbPress role guide.
https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/
bbPress user roles and capabilities
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
WordPress roles and capabilities
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
And a plugin I would recommend to create a custom user role with custom capabilities would be a plugin called Members by Justin Tadlock.
Its the WordPress toolbar, a bit customized, but its definitely the default WordPress toolbar.

I have already posted this question, but has not been approved by moderators. Please approve, has been entire day already, thank you.
I have issue where bbPress HTML code is being written above the <doctype> declaration in my page, but this only happens when not logged in / signed in to WordPress. This is for Forums and Topics pages, and none others. When logged in, then HTML code is written in its proper place. I will attach a screenshot showing both instances, the top being when not signed in (HTML is out of place, before <doctype>), the bottom when signed in (HTML is correctly placed in body, and <doctype> comes first as it should).
Any ideas on where this HTML might be called differently, depending on whether or not user is logged in? I have tried disabling plugins. Perhaps it is something with my theme. My site can be viewed at http://www.lexiconleep.com/forums/forum/leep-questions-answers/ … I wonder if it has something to do with assigning a forum role to anonymous users..? Perhaps anonymous (not logged in) users need to have a forum role … I will look into this. Thanks!
Hello all,
I’ve not been able to find a way to display my forum content to general viewers to my website (without login access). The site link is loveofroad.com/wordpress.
Because of this issue Google is not able to crawl the site and I’m not able to see any of my content in google results.
Need some help in fixing this.
Thanks.
The last version of the import has problems and lost the relation between post and owner.
That’s because the current version only supports phpBB 3.1.x as I stated above.
As you don’t need to worry about any custom modules as bbPress doesn’t support these anyway I still think you are best of upgrading your phpBB database schema to 3.1.x, but here is a 3.0.x alternative for you to try, though no guarantees and I won’t be making any 3.0.x changes etc.
This here is the 3.1.x version: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php?rev=5795
This here is the 3.0.x version:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php?rev=5770
You’ll still need to use bbPress 2.6 alpha with that 3.0.x version.
The dashes ———— usually indicate that the database connection has been lost, sadly this one bug I’ve not been able to nail down with the importer to fix and give a decent warning/error message.
Basically a workaround is to open another tab in your browser to the dashboard page and refresh it every hour so and by doing so WordPress doesn’t “lose” the database connection
