Actually bbPress does not have a “thank you page” instead I think it mostly piggybacks off of the default WordPress registration process and this issue you are talking about seems sort of common, but I think the whole frontend forms bbPress provides are either incomplete functionality or functionality that has broken along the way through upgrades in WordPress or something.
You do not necessarily have to use the frontend forms anyway, as all your users can just the default WordPress registration forms. Or use another plugin for now for frontend forms like Theme My Login.
IF you ever need a more advanced solution than what Robin has provided, look into the MyCred plugin.
If you are talking about leveling up user role capabilities, there is no plugin that can do such a thing yet.
Before Posting
Yes these ^^
There is a plugin to disable across your whole site
https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-embeds/
We might add an option to the bbPress plugin to turn this off, or include this WordPress post oEMBED to the already present enable auto embed option.
In your post you said random images show up and some screen flicker? This makes it sound like a really bad bug, but thinking over it, is it just the icon images (share icon, WordPress logo, possibly a comment icon), and the post embed loading?
EDIT: Actually disabling auto-embed in your forums will also stop the WordPress post oEMBED feature.
I have found a rather nasty bug:
Details:
If you right click on the (reply #number) in the top right of a topic reply, you can then click to copy link address.
If you then paste this address into a new reply form and submit, the result is a screwed up blockquote of the Topic name and some random graphics.
It appears to be conflict between bbpress and the WordPress 4.4 content embed feature.
On my local host installation it also causes screen flicker in a loop.
I discovered this when trying to look for a quote replies solution.
Any chance we can do something to block/stop/patch it.
Kind Regards
Max
Hi,
Yes there are.
It looks like when I update just the forum role for user, on my site it set it “blank” (empty) – there is no role and that is the reason why I don’t see the “Blocked” users.
On other side, when I update wordpress role, everything works fine.
It is strange…
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
ok I think you need my private groups plugin which allows you to set up groups, and then give users access to different forums, and using topic permissions have different access to different forums

I’m having a problem with my Forum registration and page. After filling out the data it the page refreshes and takes me to the wordpress login page. Surely it should take to a page where it say, ‘thank you for registering, etc, instead of the wordpress login page. Please can someone advise me on this as I am getting really frustrated with it.
Sorry for mass bumping the thread, but i found this:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2414
But the “trac” says that it has been fixed?
This plugin has a shortcode that lets you display recent topics by forum or forums
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
see dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes for options
Most wordpress themes work fine with bbpress. There are plugins such as https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/ that will help integration and add features
Latest WordPress and bbPress version. Any idea guys?
Hi Back9hours,

I can give you my modificated file?
Hi and sorry for my bad English.
About this plugin, I opened a topic because for a week now does not work correctly.
Anyone have other solutions?
When users try to reply on a thread on their mobile it very often happens that they just bumps to first post in thread without submit the post. I have experienced this myself. I then go back, and send again. Sometimes it takes 2,3 or 4 times before posting is successful.
I use wordpress 4.5.3
bbpress 2.5.9
Is there any tip on how to find the error?
I use this theme on mobile:
GM Neo (Graphene)
This app to mobile switch:
Any Mobile Theme Switcher
I also have the following plugins for my bbpress:
GD bbPress Tools
bbPress Go To First Unread Post
bbPress Unread Posts v2
Hello everyone, I recently installed bbpress to my wordpress website and noticed that the forum search bar was not working at all. For example, if I search for a topic, only my blog posts show up and not any topics. I’m pretty sure that this is due to a problem with my theme because if I switch back to twenty sixteen, then the search bar works again. However, I don’t want to switch back to twenty sixteen for certain reasons. Does anyone know how to fix this issue then with the theme?
I’m using wordpress version 4.5.3, bbpress version 2.5.9, and my website is http://www.purposeshare.com/forums
Thanks,
David
It’s been a while since I tried it, I’ll have to re-attempt it in a couple of days when I have an opportunity to try it again.
Cool
As I recall, it imported the users fine, and then it looked like it was doing the posts, but after, I want to say about 150 posts, it froze there, never indicated further imports. When I checked the database tables, it didn’t appear that it actually brought the content from Dizkus over to bbPress at all.
Ok, so it did something, thats a good sign in that the database name and password were correct.
If you’ve ever used Chrome/Firefox “inspect” debugger, you can right click and select “inspect” or (view the source code of the web page) and there is some extra debugging MySQL statements you will see there, if when testing you have issues take a look at the last query and include that MySQL code here when posting back, it will help determine what went wrong.
As to the localhost problem, I mirrored the Zikula site to my local WIn 10 machine, and then tried to import on a local WP/bbP site and it didn’t do anything. Seems like it just couldn’t find data.
If it can’t find any data it should thrown an error message to that affect, if you don’t select Dizkus from the dropdown menu on the importer screen and use the default AEF that can be one of the causes, another is that the database is not in the same database server as your WordPress install.
Did you import that database to your Win 10 machine or were you trying to connect to it remotely?
Is it possible to replace WordPress posts with forum topics to keep discussions at one place?

I use Kunena 3 and latest version of BBpress
Someone can help me ?
Thanks and sorry for my english.
I’ve already searched both the parent theme and the child theme for the string “bbp”, but can not find it there.
The previous developer did some rather unorthodox coding, so anything is possible.
They might have even edited core WordPress files.
Is there any other way of testing where a bbPress-dependent function might be running?
Wordpress 4.5.3
BBPress 2.5.9
See the issue at http://solosection.com/forums/topic/asdf/
I have an issue and I am pretty sure it is in BB Press. I deactivated all BB Press and user plugins and it still happens.
I have the option “Embed media (YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, etc…) directly into topics and replies” turned on and have it configured for Instagram. In Instagram, users tag other users in comments, in this case, @Solo_Section. Somehow the text in the embedded Instagram post is being transformed to a link to the user profile within BB Press and breaks the embedding.
I don’t see any options anywhere to configure this. Anyone know where this functionality lives?
I have inherited a busy site at http://fresh.co.nz with WordPress Version 4.5.3
It is running bbPress Version 2.5.9 – but not in use.
When I attempt to de-activate, delete or re-name bbPress, the site becomes blank.
I cannot find anything in the theme that relies on bbPress, but I have not had the opportunity to try changing the theme since the site is live.
T can’t see anything in wp-config, .htaccess or any custom index.php files
Any suggestions about where else the problem may be would be appreciated.
Hello Dan,
I ended up using the asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/ plugin

On issue 1
The code goes on then functions file of your child theme
https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/
on issue 2, pending 2.6 coming out containing a fix (neither currently has any timescales)
the you can achieve this with my private groups plugin
