To answer your 2nd question: “Also, is there a way to assign specific moderators to specific boards. Say a user is a moderator, but I don’t want them to moderate all boards, just specific boards. Is that possible?”
– They have a 9 year old ticket open to add this feature to bbPress.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/459
Looks like it is almost complete. The current plan is release with version 2.6 (current version is 2.59). With such an old ticket, history suggests is could get pushed back to later versions though.
I’m using the 2.5.9 version of bbPress plugin in the latest version of WordPress and would like to remove this tab, but I can not. Can someone help me?
Here’s a print for better understanding: http://www.siteconcursos.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Capturar.jpg
Thank you – That looks like exactly what I need. I have other pages that need to be blocked if a user is not logged in but if I understand it correctly I can use WordPress to do that without a plug in.
Thanks a million.

The issue also does happen in TwentyFifteen.
The issue is because in the bbPress default theme package, there is a template called content-search.php. In some newer themes there is also a template of the same name. And since the bbPress templates don’t necessarily need to be in a bbPress folder, the bbPress plugin is choosing the template from your theme before the template that is actually in bbPress.
Copy content-search.php from the bbPress plugin templates and place it in a child theme in a folder called bbpress. This fixed the issue you are getting in a free version of your currently active theme.

Also just created a trac ticket for this issue.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2966
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.
Then come back
Thanks for the reply Robkk. I ended up going with a plugin called Buddypress Sitewide Activity Widget. It seemed to do the trick.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget/
And the WordPress/BBPress combo is actually quite easy to play with, took me a while (2 years almost) to understand the code but now like a puzzle that is relatively easy to manipulate.
Only big issue I always find is the massive amounts of javascript and css queries, trying soon to combine a bit more.
So when I go to my members page all that I am seeing is my friends not the 7 people that have created an account. So that I can send them friend request.
Thank You Brian
Welcome to WordPress 4.5.2
I am using bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress.

I’m working with the WP SpamShield team, but I’ll also post the error here just in case it helps.

Fresh install of WordPress 4.5.2
Fresh install of bbPress 2.5.9-6017
Only other plugin: WP Spamshield
Theme: Moon
Site: GeekNiche.com
All settings left at default.
As Admin/Keymaster, I am unable to create new topics or reply to topics already posted, when in the forums. I can post a new topic from the dashboard.
The error (when trying to post from the forums) reads:
ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.
To test, I created a new user with the “participant” role. That user can create new topics and reply to topics. It’s only the Keymaster who is forbidden from posting.
This would appear to be a problem. 🙂
WordPress 4.5.2 running Sydney theme
Very new to this, I have a forum on my site and have installed BBpress search in the side bar, unfortunatly the only results that comeup on any search is the last item I have posted in my blog.
Would appriciate any help on this.
Thanks
you can achieve this with forum roles eg
https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/
if you want it across all forums
or if you just want one of several to be restricted, then I’ve recently added this to my private groups plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
see topic permissions tab
@rda5009
Or how would I go about adding the reference lookup to obtain the user’s bp group(s), the forum tied to that bp group(s), and then display the recent 5-10 topics?
If you are really not that good with code, try to hire a developer to create this for you.
Here is a couple of links that might be helpful though.
http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/#index=g&search=bp_get_group

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_user_logged_in/
https://github.com/ntwb/bbPress/blob/master/src/includes/common/widgets.php#L674
bbpress uses the wordpress system of gravatar, so you’ll need to do that
https://en.gravatar.com/
Yeah you can’t do what you want now using that specific plugin, you can using widget logic, or creating a bbpress specific sidebar for all the widgets you want/not want to display on bbPress pages.
Contact the display widgets plugin author to possibly add this feature to hide/show widgets on bbPress user profiles, and maybe specifically the edit profile page. All they would need is just use these supplied bbPress conditionals.
bbp_is_single_user_edit()
bbp_is_single_user()
There are a ton of social login plugins that will work, just search for them here.
There are plugins that can autopost bbPress topics to twitter like bbp-tweet, and many other different ways like using Jetpack or NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster.
Allowing an anonymous forum, but allow twitter social registration to your site…making sure that the thread posters topic is created on the thread posters twitter page, and each reply post reply to that users twitter page post…all sounds like custom development, and you should try to find a developer to create this for you.
The last three items are probably added by some plugin that hooks into the registration form. bbPress’ registration form template uses the same hook as the WordPress default registration form, so any plugin that hooks into one will hook into the other.
Hi, I am newbie in the world of wordpress and bbpress . Would I recomendais some thread or site with good tutorials ? Mainly bbPress . Thank you
suspect its a wordpress issue since I am calling a wp function
if you can’t upgrade to 4.5.2, come back and I’ll take a guess at some retrospective code!
