hm, thx for the feedback, so I did this:
– all plugins off except bbpress and User Role Editor: posting worked. so now I am re-activating all plugins one-by-one to find the culprit.
The culprit is: WP Easy Uploader
http://chrisjean.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-easy-uploader/ very old but useful plugin.
btw. User Role Editor cannot edit bbpress roles as I understand they are dynamic? Not 100% about that statement but haven’t found a way to edit them.
@ovizii
It could be one of your plugins that is blocking regular users from posting. I had a similar problem last month and I thought it was a bbPress problem, but it turned out to be another plugin.
If you have a production version of your website, try to deactivate all of our plugins except bbPress and User Role Editor. Also try to switch back to the default theme, just to confirm that it’s not something in your functions.php that is causing problems. What version of bbPress and WordPress are you using?
The other thing to try is to use User Role Editor to add capabilities to your Participant role, and keep adding until it fixes the posting issue. Then at least you’ll be able to pinpoint the capability that is causing the problem. But first make sure to create a backup of the Participant role so you can revert back to it.
I’ve set my users to about every possible bbpress AND wordpress role and only if they are a key master can they post/reply.
HELP!
Thanks Stephen,
I finally got it by doing it all manually at a database level.
Incrementing all of the users, posts, post_meta etc then merging them into the existing database. A little time consuming but got me there in the end and that all that matters really.

Can anyone provide some guidance on how to implement bbPress in the iThemes Andrina theme.
Wordpress version 3.5.1
bbPress version 2.3
Andrina theme vesrsion 3.2.2
I activated bbPress and created Forums and Topics but I do not see how to implement it in the same manner as the demonstrations that I have seen on the twenty eleven theme and others.
Thank You
I hope this is the right place to ask.
I am moving away from vBulletin (yay) and on to WordPress.
Currently I have vBulletin 4.2.0 which includes forum and CMS.
When I move to WordPress I will not be using bbPress (at least for now).
Is it still possible for me to export my vB users and import to WordPress 3.5.1 if i’m not using bbPress? And if so, is it easy to do?
Thanks.
I may have found the reason for pending posts..
there were certain words in wordpress (comments) black listed, and I think it has prevented also bbpress new topic/replies being posted automatically
Previously only the wordpress search was on the page on the left side column. I thought that would be sufficient to search through bbpress posts especially with the plugin that I have, see below. I would like to disable the bbpress search box.
My plugins are bbpress, bbpressmoderation, bbpress topics for posts, en Spam, search bbpress 2.0, and wanguard.
Here is my link. http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/forums2/
Where you see the forum summary section, it used to be the latest posts.
The new search is a bbPress specific search and while the previous one is a WordPress search. Do you want to disable the bbPress one?
Can you provide me with a list of plugins you are using? That is likely the culprit at play here.
And there is a new search box above the new forum summary page. So now I have two search boxes on the page. One that is set by wordpress, and one that has appeared courtesy of the updated bbpress plugin
Is there any way to revert back to the bbpress plugin before this last update?
I updated bbpress. Never had problems with the previous updates. Now, I have the following problems on my front page:
Oh bother! No topics were found here! (why has this appeared? Comes from div id=”bbpress-forums” and div class=”bbp-template-notice”
Even though my front page is checked for latest posts. It is now showing my forum summary page. Why is bbpress plugin superseding the wordpress of only showing latest posts?
I never changed anything in bbpress files.
Whenever a user posts a comment it redirects them back to the very beginning of the conversation instead of letting them continue to read/comment from the current place. There are several pages of comments so its really annoying to have to keep scrolling down again and find where you left off. Can this be fixed?

Hi there,
Thanks in Advance…
I’m facing a problem that the topics are not displaying in forum. I use WordPress + Genesis Framework + bbPress + Genesis bbpress Extend (plugin).. What to do?
Hi All,
I am working on bbpress on my new site, so it works together with buddypress. But I really hate the way the url structure looks on the forum.
now it’s forums/forum/test and I changed that already to forum/subject
But now when I look at a topic, it’s /topic/post instead of forum/subject/post.
Any way to fix this? I did find some guys talk about a nicer permalinks plugin, but when I click that link I keep getting back to a post about it on this forum…
I got the latest install of wordpress, buddypress bbpress
Hi, I have a site that have only one wordpress and some standalone bbpress 1.1 (like 7) and I want to upgrade all the bbpress, but now bbpress is a plugin of wordpress. So how can I upgrade all the 7 bbpress ??
Should I install several plugins of bbpress?? or could upgrade or import all the bbpress in only one plugin ?? or what is the best way to upgrade my bbpress??
Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to edit the content of the emails that are sent out when a new user registers or changes/forgets their password.
When a new user registers, the email they receive only says the username/password and provides a link, nothing else.
I would like to be able to edit this if it is possible?
I’m using WordPress 3.5.1 and Twenty Twelve.
Sigh. No; first I’ve heard of it, and totally lame that’s happening.
Do you mind opening a ticket over at http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org?
Looks like it did change, but only for the positive in this regard:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4336
P.S. I deactivated all plugins except for bbpress. No change.
@xmasons Thank you.
I added it at the end of functions.php (infocus-buddypress theme). Unfortunately no change.
But now I know that it is something in wp-login.php; although wp-login is not in the /wp-admin folder, when I press the ‘Log in’ button (without even typing something in the username or password fields) immediately is asking for the /wp-admin password set in the .htaccess.
I use the bbPress Login widget on the forum’s left sidebar.
edit: I tried to remove all the widgets, unsuccessfully (because I noticed the “Lost Password” link refers to /wp-admin).
Hi,
There is a development version at https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpressmoderation.zip with a fix for the hidden topics/replies.
Unzip the download and replace /wp-content/plugins/bbpressmoderation
I’ve only done limited testing as I’m not a bbPress user anymore – so feedback appreciated on the changes.
Thank to @netweb for the pointer – I’ve followed JJJ advice to use a posts_where filter to add the pending status so moderated topics and replies are included in the query.
It’s a real ugly fix (see the source comments for details), but hopefully it should get you through until moderation makes it into bbPress for real.
Ian.
Hi All,
I am the bbPressModeration plugin author. I’ve only just found out about this today, so my apologies for the problems you are having.
Unfortunately neither this forum or the WordPress forum notified me of the new posts.
I’ll try and see what the problem is today – but if anyone suffering the problem can provide any extra info it would help – e.g. error messages, log messages in Apache etc.
Ian.
Hi !
I just install a new bbPress (last version) on a custom wordpress theme.
It works fine, except the index page (the page where all the forum are listed).
I just got an empty wordpress post.
Here is an image (the “mysite/forums” page): 
However, when i try to display a forum from the back office. It works fine. So i just have a problem with the index…
The the “mysite/forums/forum/forum-1-2/” page
I know the bug came from the theme, because it works fine on other theme, but i don’t know how can i solve it 🙂
Thanks, and sorry my bad english !
Hello! I’m using the Login Widget in my sidebar here:
http://brandschool.brandtwist.com/login/
And whenever I click “Login” it takes me back to the homepage.
Ideally it would:
1. Leave me on the existing page.
or
2. Take me to a particular page that’s not the homepage.
I’m using WordPress 3.4.2 and BBPress 2.2.4.
Thanks for your help!
