Hi, I have created a private forum for members of my Board and staff to share news and views. I’ve also created user accounts for the people I want to have access. My (stupid) question is this: how do those users get to the Forum? Where do they login and how?
No code please, I won’t understand it!
Using BBPress Version 2.4.1, WordPress 3.6.1, Theme is Graphene Version 1.9.2, website is http://www.yourbackyard.org.uk.
I’ve just registered with you, and logged on with no problems via the forum widget. Went straight back to the forum page as it should do. Didn’t see a wp-login page at all.
i have set bbpress forum in my site here is link http://www.hookemreport.com/forum-2/
the problem is when i am clicking any forum nothing is opening
here is like of click http://www.hookemreport.com/forums/forum/discussions/ and getting error, any one can encounter it i am waiting for
Thank you so much Robin for taking the time to help. The lost password link worked!
Although I do not really know about all that Page Template and CSS stuff, so I would be aerie to mess with that. I basically just want to make the login page the page under http://modbunker.com/forums/ so it doesnt take them to that WordPress page. It seems even if their login is correct it still directs them to the wordpress page to login again and then directs them to http://modbunker.com/forums/ which I want in the first place. Id just hate for my users to have to login twice basically, and have them be directed to a WordPress login which might confuse them.
But if it works it works may just have to stick it out and see. Thank you again
or change the lost password url to http://modbunker.com/lost-password/ – that seems to work
had a look
You login works fine. If you fail then you will be taken to the default wordpress login page. If you want to change this page see
https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form
For the lost password, try resetting your permalinks dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save.
ok I switched it back and entered the Register URL and Lost Password URL. The register URL works great but my Lost Password gives me a 404 error.
My login is still bringing me to a WordPress Login screen though. : (
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.
