I kind of follow what you are asking but in no way can I offer you a solution sadly (I wish I could but alas I am still learning).
I hope this article can may help in the direction you want to go though with custom queries and bbPress.

@Alain,I have replied to the thread you started here as this is not related to any bugs with bbPress 2.2.
bbPress does not currently support subscribing by email for anonymous users and as you point out there are no plugins (as at the time this posted) to perform this task either.
You have a couple of options: Write a plugin yourself, get someone else to write the plugin for you or submit a ‘feature request’ at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ explaining in detail the feature you want to see in future versions of bbPress.
Hello !
Nobody for my question ???
Why any visitor can open a topic and write a response, while only REGISTERED users (username + password) will have access to the box for reply notification by mail?
I would like the mail notification is ok for all users, registered and not registered users.
To date, no response obtained in any forum, and no plugin found …
Is it possible to have a new version with this option in the panel settings, plaese ?
Best regards
Alain

A solution was reached by disabling TinyMCE and installing a plugin called “bbPress Post Toolbar”
No database connectivity. I suspect something else besides bbPress is broken.
Also, there is no bbPress 2.2.1 yet; it’s what comes next to address any bugs in 2.2.
hello,
after the latest bbpress update my forums don’t work (when you click a forum topic, there are no posts or replies) and my navigation bar is also gone, along with my logo. It seems something has broken the buddypress system, I even use the default bp theme. http://msflights.net/forums/forum/general-discussion If you click any of the topics, there are no replies, it is just blank once it loads up.
What should I do to fix this?
thanks
The TwentyTen files were pulled out of bbPress core. I’ll be releasing it as a plugin this week, for anyone that still wants the old table-based templates.
I test updated bbPress 2.2 (it does NOT say that it is 2.2.1) on my MAMP server, and it is now missing several of the Settings from 2.1.3 that I actually used.
“Theme Packages – Current Package” is gone, which I set to Twenty Ten (bbPress) on my sites, although then I use the ‘bbPress (Twenty Eleven)’ child theme from ServerPress.com as my active theme – which may negate any effect of this setting.
I don’t see the “Per RSS Page” settings any more, and I have “Akismet – Use Akismet” selected on the production site in 2.1.3; now those are gone in 2.2.
I did not see anything in the Changelog for 2.2 that led me to expect these changes.
I also have ‘Search bbPress 2.0’ ver 1.0 from ServerPress.com installed; I wonder if that will still work in 2.2.x???
After a bad week following an update from Wordfence 3.3.7 to 3.4.1 (just fixed in 3.4.4), I am in no hurry to update another major plugin on my site prematurely.
Done, upgraded immediately. Everything seems to work fine but i can’t see the theme selector in main settings.. is it normal or is a bug? I’d love to find it back cuz I need to set it back from default theme compat to twentyten
I have the same issue, and in the plugin folder there is no bbp-theme-compat folder after the upgrade.
Bloody hell, I have this now!
BBPress was just instantly marking these posts by this user as spam, even though they weren’t!
Is there an option somewhere that would have marked this user as spammer which would go away when their role is changed to Participant?
What’s really bizarre is, I have installed the user roles plugin just now and examined user capabilities in both the plugin menu and directly in the DB looking at the capability entry string.
The free user that can’t currently post, has the EXACT same capabilities as those free users who CAN post.
There are no differences, and yet this one user account that can’t post seems to be able to write a reply and submit it, the slug in the URL adapts as it should and increases the post number in the slug by one, but it then doesn’t show the post, and it doesn’t appear front or backend.
SO BIZARRE!
If I change their ‘Forum Role’ in the drop down at the bottom of their edit profile dashboard screen to ‘Participant’, then they CAN post normally.
I shouldn’t have to do this though.
Anyone have any kind of clue what else it could be?
I tried installing bbPress 2.2 today because I’ve used it on another site and love it. But, the 3 custom post types didn’t show up in the navigation menu in the Admin panel at all (and entering the URL for them doesn’t work either). The bbPress “Forums” menu items do show up in Settings and Tools though. Strange.
I activated and deactivated all of my plugins and traced it to a conflict between WPMU Appointments+ and bbPress. As soon as I activate Appointments, the bbPress post types vanish. Does anyone have experience with fixing this? I need the Appointments feature on my site and really wish that I could use bbPress instead of some other forum plugin.
WordPress version 3.4.2
bbPress version 2.2
WPMU Appointments+ 1.1.5.1 plugin site
Disable BuddyPress’s Forums component. If you’re using bbPress 2.2 on a brand new installation, it will power everything n
wordpress & bbpress definitely need better role/capability/permissions management, some 3rd party plugins can fill the gap for now, and i imagine the new system will be a step in the right direction, but we need some details on the new system 🙂

Thanks for the error message, but why not include a description of what you’re trying to do?
John – You’ll want to update to bbPress 1.1 first; the schematic changed from 1.0 to 1.1.
If there’s missing user data, then the fallback is to Anonymous. The only way there’s missing data is if that user information was deleted or manually altered, directly in the database. In that circumstance, bbPress has no other place to look for user information.
To avoid this problem in the future, but them in:
/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-ja.*
Cheers Sam, I’ll check that out. I’ve not seen any documentation about this new system yet.
I’m guessing there is a good reason for it, but would be nice to turn it off and revert if it’s going to cause big issues with any site that has altered roles (of which there will be a high percentage).
plugins like user role editor allow granular customization of user roles & capabilities, an important feature for cms/forum systems which wordpress/bbpress is otherwise lacking, google “granular permissions” for more info
so you would use it to inspect the permissions for your s2 or other roles and it should be a matter of just checking the boxes of the capabilities you want your roles to have, unless something has changed in bbp 2.2 ?
if you are careful it will not change (unless you tell it to) or break anything in my experience, but any changes made to role permissions are made to the db so proceed somewhat cautiously, and it is always possible to change things back if you kept screen shots of original role settings in plugin window –
but i’m still not sure exactly what the new role system is about at all, are there any reference links on this ?

Add the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode to your page.
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
Hey Sam, I use custom caps built straight nto S2member and just assign different caps all to various s2level1 packages, so only have FREE subscribers at level 0 and paid members at level 1.
The majority of the free subscribers can access and use forums in bbpress 2.2, but anyone with level 1 access hits a 404 regardless of accessing the forum directory or topics.
Bizarrely the forum tab on profiles of these level 1 members will show their threads.
Some free subscribers set at level 0 can access forums but can’t post. You can submit a reply but it doesn’t show front or backend, and yet trying to submit the same reply again straight after gives you the duplicate post error message although NOTHING got posted anyway.
What are the role editor plugins going to enable me to do?
I’ve never used them. Would love to get to the bottom of why some level 0 members can post and yet a user with an identical role can’t?
i am building a site using bbpress & s2member, but i am also using user role editor plugin to apply custom capabilities to s2 member roles, so far this has worked fine, but i have not updated this test site to bbpress 2.2 yet
ross, have you tried inspecting your s2 member roles with something like user role editor, members, or role scoper ? this should allow you to customize you roles w bbpress permissions as needed
also, is there a clear explanation anywhere about just what this new role system in bbpress 2.2 is and what it means for sites with custom capabilities ?
sam
Assigning a forum role of ‘participant’ to the free members that for some reason cant post fixes the issue.
If everyone could be assigned a ‘participant’ role as default that might be the way forward with this?
Not quite sure where the role named ‘member’ is being assigned from to my free members in the forums, as it doesn’t seem to be selectable role in the drop down for forum role.
I have ‘Participant’ set as the default role which I think it was preset to in the forums options now.
I notice the tick box to assign this role to all new signups, but a box to assign it to existing members except admins would be cool.
I’m not sure what the best way is, but I’m guessing there will be an awful lot of sites breaking if they do this upgrade.
Would love to hear some suggestions.
Not to sound ungrateful though, I love BBPress. I’ll gladly help test everything on my staging site until we can work it out for everyone.
🙂
