@chibichiii how did you get it working? In Buddypress profile under “forums” it doesn’t show topics they have created… or anything about forums in the activity. You fixed this?
Okay, so I tried modifying a few CSS lines with the display: block; command but either it brought no change or it just made it worse. It is probably a conflict between CSS of my theme or another plugin. Since it is not crucial that members can edit their post, I set the time to 0 minute so they just can’t edit anymore.
The installed plugins display issue is still there though, but it already was with the previous bbPress version. I can live with that!
confirmed… new s2member users DO NOT have a bbPress role added. Gonna modify the plugin I referenced above now.
hmm … sorry if it’s already in this thread but do new signups in s2member (for various s2member roles) get the default bbPress role added (if that’s selected in the bbPress forums options)? There is an “Auto role” checkbox in `options-general.php?page=bbpress` that when checked is supposed to automatically assign default roles to new, registered users upon visiting the site…. I’ll have to check into that and see if new s2member registered users get that default role…
nerrad, that is fantastic, and thank you so much for sharing it.
So if this assigns roles to existing members, how do we deal with new sign-ups?
JJ, do you reckon this is a future-proof solution?
bbPress purposely forces the editor into ‘teeny’ mode. You’ll need a plugin to change that, which is possible to filter out.
@rossagrant – it already tries to do that, via: Settings > Forums — Auto role —
“Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.”
Basically, that bit looks for users with no bbPress role, and automatically gives it to them (without interfering with existing WordPress roles.)
I think the problem comes from having modified the bbp_participant role previously in the database, and bbPress not using those modified caps any longer. (Just a guess.)
bbPress moved away from “editable roles” in 2.2, since plugins like s2member and Members allow for manipulating bbPress’s roles in such a way that safe updates to bbPress are pretty much impossible; the moment we change our capability mapping, this all blows up.
Going forward, bbPress uses dynamic, secondary roles, that won’t interfere with any other capability or role on the site. I.E. a user can be a forum moderator and a blog editor, or a blog admin and and a forum participant, or no role on the blog, and a key master in the forums.
This type of setup is best for 95% of installations, but anyone that’s relying on roles in the DB are currently stuck (like we see here.)
One possible solution is to just let your database roles override bbPress’s dynamic roles. You can unhook most of those functions, but I don’t think that’s advisable for the long term, because you’ll lose any capability updates going forward, leaving some users in limbo when new features are introduced.

But i’ve Ultimate TinyMCE… Present in wordpress editot… But i don’t see in bbpress :/
The UI on BuddyPress’s end hasn’t been updated yet. If you have bbPress installed, and are using it to power your group forums, the BuddyPress forums component should be completely turned off.
It’s possible there’s an issue with BuddyPress 1.6 in this regard, but there wasn’t in my testing. I’ll take another look around.
Maybe related to Jetpack 2.0. I’m not able to duplicate this issue with just WordPress and bbPress installed.
Hi@all
dont know if is my installation or not.. After upgrading BBpress 2.2 editor users (role author) can’t use Editor because is not available and tabs Visual and HTML also not working .
As administrator works fine…
I have on my theme some shortcodes integrated into MCE. Just try to deactivate it but no success. If i shutdown BBPress all works back.
Any suggestions?
Will there be a core solution for this with bbpress?
If its a bbPress bug, then yes. It’s likely an issue with bbPress using multiple user roles, and it being a foreign concept to most other plugins.
Can’t tell if this is spam or not. It doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with bbPress.
I use iMember360 Membership plugin and experiencing same issues with our users not being able to click on topics (page not found). I will try out the plugin thanks @mmaunder.
Will there be a core solution for this with bbpress?
There’s roles issues with s2member and the new released version of bbPress 2.2. I created a small little plugin that along with the “repair” tools bbPress makes available applies new roles to all the existing users you have with s2member roles.
Go here for the plugin -> https://gist.github.com/4120493 – make sure you read the instructions at top of file.
Thanks so much @jmdodd!
I had some redirect code in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, which redirected user straight to the forum page when they clicked on a group, instead of the group’s homepage which a lot of our users found confusing.
I just had to change the last line from “forums” to “forum” and that seems to have done the trick.
function redirect_group_home() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
$path = apply_filters( 'bp_uri', $path );
if (bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['slug'] ) === false ) {
$bp->groups->current_group->status == 'private' || $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'hidden') {
if ($bp->groups->current_group->status == 'public' || ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member && $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'private') || ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member && $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'hidden')) {
// bp_core_redirect( $path . 'forums/' );
bp_core_redirect( $path . 'forum/' );
}
}
}
@johnjamesjacoby feel free to toy around with website and test the installation. The link is in my previous post. I’m not using S2members though, but User Role Editor. I still need to do some more thorough testing before I move all this onto my production website.
Sorry I entered wordfence dot org as my email address an then edited it a few seconds later to my correct email which is mark at wordfence dot com. You must have loaded the page faster than I could edit. Sorry about that.
I’ve implemented the fix suggested here with the User Role Editor plugin:
http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/dont-upgrade-to-bbpress-2-2/
It works like a charm and we’re up and running again with it on our production site.
BuddyPress has me install bbPress, and when I disable BuddyPress’ forums it makes the forum page look like a blank profile (?) with Private or Public messaging buttons.
I’m confused. I just want the “New Topic” button to work.
No worries JJ, I’ll wait for the docs.
So how do you envisage what the best way forward would be for site owners that use membership plugins?
Is there anything we can build into BBPress to enable the ‘Participant’ level being attributed to all users excpt admins or unless it’s changed otherwise?
I’m not quite sure how to move forward.
I could use a user role capability plugin, but is that not just complicating things?
Also, where does the ‘member’ label come from that I’m seeing for regular members? It’s not actually a role that is selectable in the backend.
‘Participant’ is as close as I can find to be suitable for normal members that have their role assigned by the S2 Member plugin I use for membership.

works great except now my user admin section is messed up http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ujyu3

Maybe a small plugin for choose the button(s) to show in bbpress is a good idea 🙂
Thank you for the fast reply. However, since i’m really no programmer at all, I have no idea what you mean. English is also a second language for me.
“Try display: block;’ing the main content div, or the wrapper around your content.”
The first part of the sentence does not make sense to me, and I don’t understand what you mean by “wrapper”.
Are you suggesting that I modify a CSS file? If so, you’ll have to tell me exactly where and how!
The other weird display problem that I get is since I activated bbPress, the page of the installed plugins menu (admin dashbord) does not show up when I click on it. I have to mouse over for some elements to show up. I can also reduce the size of my browser, and the parts of the page that are “hidden” suddenly appear once I resize the page to a big size. Weird stuff. Otherwise eveything runs perfectly.
I’d just like to make forum members able to easily edit their posts.
Thank you.
Sounds like the problem is s2Member using set_role() which wipes out all roles a user might have.
Basically, s2member is not compatible with users having multiple roles.
Tried emailing you a few times, got bounced back.
