I am modifying a site to enable this simple snippet of code to the bbPress login Widget. Once a user is logged in, I would like to check the user’s role (WordPress Role: admin, editor, author) and allow only those three access to the site’s dashboard by simply displaying the link there. I do not know how to translate the bbPress roles to the WordPress roles.

Any insight would be most appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks God..

Wishing something like this for years. Done search, but it was 6 years ago solution and not relevant anymore.

I even try myself but yet it’s too hard for me.
Owning a big forum of 8K user, 14K topics, 400K posts. SMF wasn’t suit me anymore since I used WordPress (my mainpage is wordpress, forum SMF). I’m intend to do something like WordPress + BBpress + Buddypress 😀

Im looking forward for this. 🙂

Hi, I’ve just set up a new website to creat a private forum for a small group. I’m using at as a stand alone site, separate from my WordPress blog. I installed bbPress via Softaculous, and the version it’s given me is 1.2.

My main concern is that there’s NO option to set forums as visible to members only, as shown in the documentation. I really need that.

Will upgrading to a newer version fix that? I’m not sure how to manage the upgrade.

Sorry to sound like a complete moron!

I’m using the plugin bbPress Topics for Posts to be able to display all comments on a forum as well. I want anonymous users to be able to post comments on all my WordPress posts, but want them to register in order to reply to (other) forums.

Would this be possible? Any other solution? Thanks!

[koendb]

Apparantly it’s an issue with user capabilities.

I just started using bbpress myself, but this might help you: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cheatin-uh-3?replies=5

@hamed-hosseini Thanks, take a look at these resources to get started translating bbPress:

For a page you write, you can choose the type of layout you want given that your theme offers that. However, bbPress runs on a page created on the fly, three is no page called “forums” unless you create one and then use shortcodes to bring up the forum.

Every theme has a CSS file which can be edited within WordPress. Go to Appearance/Editor and your theme CSS should load. I edited my theme’s CSS and added the code I gave in my previous post.

Is there a way to enable a BuddyPress group to have multiple forums? Right now it is a one-to-one connection, but I need multiple forums. FYI:

– I saw the subgroups plugin, but that wouldn’t work for me.
– I also read the subforum discussion, where the ;last word from about 5 months ago was “Multiple forums per BuddyPress Group is started in bbPress, but likely won’t be finished for several months.”
– I also read the subforum discussion here, but that’s not ideal either.
– I also the “Multiple main forums on one site” topic here and I suspect the answer might eb the same that was given there, but wanted to make sure.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I’ve been messing with this for hours and ripping my hair out. I just installed WordPress and I’m using the Arras theme. I also just installed bbPress and I’m trying to follow this tutorial (I don’t have forum “page templates” available) but I don’t seem to have this “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder anywhere? What could I be doing wrong?

Go to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.3 and press “Zip Archive” at the bottom.

Well seeing how bbPress is just a custom post type, you could add probably add any rate plugin of wordpress, though it would need some modifying to show up correctly.

[Xevo]

If you can’t even see what WordPress your running, it is a clear example that other stuff is running in the background.

Try disabling all plugins and using one of the standard WordPress theme.

The above mentioned plugin is not just added by Page.ly, a lot of other WordPress providers add custom plugins.

[Xevo]

Not sure if this will work on custom post types (bbpress being a custom post type) or if the plugin still works, but you could give that a swing.

[Xevo]

Could be with your hosting as well, since some wordpress hosts add Must Use plugins that wreck bbPress, had the same issue with Page.ly.

WordPress Multisite 3.6
BBPress 2.4
Error “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”

As a super admin, I can activate bbpress on each sub-blog and access it’s settings. If a blog admin tries to activate bbpress or access it’s setting they receive, “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”.

If I activate it for them I can see the menu’s on their dashboard for bbpress, but they cannot. I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, deactivated all other plugins, etc. All the normal troubleshooting hasn’t worked. I checked the MySQL Database after uninstalling bbpress and none of the bb_ tables are there so I assume it completely removed.

I’ve been troubleshooting this for about 3 days now. Very irritating.

I did a new install of WordPress and selected Twenty Thirteen as the theme, then installed Buddypress and bbPress. Everything was working fine. Then I installed Genesis and a child theme and everything is still fine. I am slowly adding plugins to see which one is causing the problem on my other WordPress site.

[Anonymous User 5853594]

You can use a plugin like new users approve to approve of registrations before they can actually do something on the site. There are more options, just try a few and decide which works for you.

Hello, I have been looking for a solution all day, and cannot find someone with a similar problem.

WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.4
BuddyPress 1.8.1
Genesis 2.0.1

I can have either BuddyPress activated or bbPress, but not both. When one is activated and I activate the other, I get a server error. It doesn’t not matter which one I activate first, or which one I deactivate. My site front end still works, but in the back end I just get a server error and cannot access the admin dashboard without renaming or deleting one of the plugins through my host’s cpanel.

I have tested with basic WP themes. I get the same error using both Twenty Twelve and Twenty Thirteen, basic Genesis framework theme, and my child theme.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

I hadn’t really thought about importing from CSV, until now.

The importer included with bbPress is setup to only import from a MySQL database.

We could create a guide to create a simple to database that you could import your CSV into and then bbPress import from that.

Otherwise using the built in importer within WordPress (wp-admin -> tools -> import /wp-admin/import.php) there are some https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=CSV+importer CSV importers that might do the job. You could modify one of these to import the data instead of WordPress post type ‘post’ you would want your topics to use the ‘topic’ post type for bbPress (Forums are ‘forum’ and Replies are ‘reply’)

Either of the ways above should be rather straight forward and I might take a look at few of those importers and fork one specifically for importing from CSV to bbPress in the future.

I have just updated my Kunena v3.x importer and added v2.x and 1.x importers 🙂

@netweb said:

definitely private group forum posts should not be showing up when using [bbp-topic-index].

So I am trying to wrap my head around how this topic index shortcode should work. Is it intended to only display public forums? Or should it display forums the user has permissions to see?

If the latter, is that determined by the forum visibility, the buddypress group privacy status, or both?

Here is what I am experiencing with bbp 2.4, BP 1.8.1, and WP 3.6:

If the visibility of a group forum is changed (at the forum level) from published to private then a user with the forum role of participant can see the private forums in the topic index as well as on the forum root page. These are visible even if the user isn’t a member of that BP group.

But if I use the repair tool to “recalculate private and hidden forums”, that same user can no longer see them in the topic index (again, regardless of if the user is a group member or not), but can still view them on the forum root page.

Is this what should be happening?

Or perhaps is this related to this defect?

My ultimate goal is to have a user role that can view private topics and another role that can not. Can this be accomplished using that topic-index shortcode, or do I need to find another solution?

Thanks for all your efforts!

Hello Support.

I have placed the [bbp-register] on a pages and it works great. Is the a way to make the error page or confirmation page not go to wordpress/wp-login.php page?

I want all the pages to look the same thought the site, and I do not want users to know I am using wordpress as a backend.

Regards

D.

Allowing others to create accounts for your forum.

I had problems with this (various instructions skipped steps or were vague), so once I worked it out I thought it might be helpful here.

Install BB press as per the instruction

Once you have activate the plugin on your WordPress Dashboard (Plugins > Installed pluggins > activate) you should get a welcome message. At the bottom of that screen is a link to follow to alter your basic forum settings (or if you have closed that screen: Settings > Forums from your dashboard). Set them as you like.

You will now have a new section of your Dashboard – Forums. Hover over Forums then select ‘add new’. Name your forum etc.

Now create 3 new website pages on your website. ‘Forums’, ‘New users’ and ‘Lost password’. On the New Users page copy the following text exactly [bbp-register]
On the lost password page put this text: [bbp-lost-pass]
Remember to update/upload the pages.

Now go to Appearance > Widgets. Drag and drop the ‘BBloggin Widget’ into your side bar (on the left. Make sure you have the side bar activation in Appearance > Customize > Layout).

The widget will pop open and ask for 2 urls. Put the URLs of your new New Users page in the Register box and the lost password page in Lost password box. Click save at the bottom of the widget box.

Go to http://www.’yourdomain.com/forums and you should see your new forum, with a login widget at the side. Click the register link and it should take you to a form other people can fill in to create a new account (you may be logged in to your forum already, so either log out, or try it on someone else’s computer. Just to check it works.
