And you’re not aware of any plugins that perform a similar task that also have a php drop-in facility to put it anywhere in the theme? I didn’t find any with a search.
Ultimately I’m back to where I began. I want to continue using the WP top bar but have the edit account option link to bbPress’s account page.
Just use the bbPress Login Widget that is packaged with bbPress 
You would want to disable the admin bar site-wide for “Subscribers”.
Then you would have a link in your site/theme that takes your members to the bbPress profile page where they can edit their profile.
If you disable the admin bar and use login/registrations forms via shortcodes there is really no reason for the users to ever use /wp-admin unless the specifically went to it.
This still isn’t clear.
Let me rephrase, for a specific example: in the top WP bar, how can I change the user’s “Edit profile” link to use their bbPress profile page?
You can do user registration and user login all on the front end using shortcodes and/or other plugins available – there is no reason the basic user needs to use wp-admin at all.
Shortcodes: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
jjj is the primary/lead developer for bbPress so he might be able to give you a more specific answer.
Right now there are only 3 remaning tickets for 2.1 (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&group=status&milestone=2.1) so my guess would be sooner than later.
Do you have an approximate ETA when 2.1 will come out of beta and be officially released as a plugin?
I’m not sure you understand the issue I’m talking about, or perhaps I’ve misunderstood you.
When someone clicks on “Howdy, Name” they are given the option to “Edit their profile”. This takes them to wp-admin rather than their bbPress profile page.
I want to ensure all users except admins are directed to their bbPress profile page.
All that plugin you linked to does is stop users creating content once inside the area I don’t want them to visit at all.
I tired the hard way to edit the DB and keymaster assignment is to #1. I tried the Fix admin access plugin and it still didnt help.
What are the chances that everything will be clean if I reinstall?
There is no reason a user has to access the admin as the profiles can all be edited though front end.
This plugin will also help https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/
There’s a “Zip Archive” link on the bottom of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin – this will be the latest development version.
Just keep in mind, while 2.1 is general stable, it’s still beta so make a backup of things first!
I’m really wanting to move to 2.1, is there a way to upgrade my WordPress plugin of bbPress to that version?
I’ve set this widget to display 20 topics, but no matter what it only displays 5. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Is there a plugin for this yet, or can anyone confirm if timskii’s code still works? I really would like the bbPress profile to be the only profile non-administrative users can access.
I would also like to know how I can migrate my forum from localhost over to my wordpress site. It’s the 2.02 plugin version of BBPress, and it only has a few categories and topics, but I need to know this information for a presentation I am giving in my class in a few weeks.
As for the themes, I have a heavily modified wordpress theme now, and I can see how to edit the bbpress files manually, but i will try to do it using the showcase at the site above… if it’s possible.
Ok, I think I ran into a snag.
My WordPress/BuddyPress site is HEAVILY modded with plugins. I use a RocketTheme theme that runs off of the Gantry Framework along with Gantry-BuddyPress (which allows BuddyPress to be compatible with the RocketTheme and Gantry Framework.)
The bbPress plugin worked, but only partially. The Forum page set up by bbPress is visible but instead of seeing the “directory” of forums it shows:
Home › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness General Discussion SO? what now? 1 1 26 mins Admin
It’s all just plain text with no links. But, the forum I made for General Discussion is viewable when I go to the forum page it made.
For reference, here are the demo page links:
http://bp.daevas.com/forums/
http://bp.daevas.com/forums/discussion/na-general-discussion/
I still have to edit the .css to match the theme design, but I wanted to find out what was wrong with the default forums page and why it wasn’t showing up correctly.
Thanks and hope you can help.
@johnjamesjacoby – (Sorry for not posting directly on the trac ticket, I can’t seem to login there)
1) The link should hopefully include the correct page and anchor link to bring them directly to the right comment
2) If the user has more than one notification and the notification menu brings them onto their activity page instead, those should also link correctly as stated above.
(Although it would be fantastic if up to 5 forum @mentions could be shown in the notification menu before grouping them into 1)
3 more tickets to go for 2.1! Thanks
Hello all,
This is my first time here. My bbpress install went fine on a wordpress site thats exists for a while now. I was able to log in to …/bb-admin and edit options.
Next, I changed the cookies as described in the process to match those of wordpress.
I saved the changes & got logged out.
Now I am unable to log in to …/bb-admin and it says “admin” is not a user.
Appreciate any help,
S Ram
jjj has committed a fix. If you update your 2.1 install everything should be good. Again, thanks for reporting the bug.
I have sent them an email, but no response. Was hopefully looking for a suggestion for a plugin that plays nice with BBpress.
I just tested it and you are right! Seems to be screwy when using the numeric permalinks.
We’re going to look into that. I definitely appreciate you coming back and posting about the problem you encountered – this will help us make 2.1 as solid as possible when it is released publicly
I think it has to do with the permalink style. I had numeric permalinks before. If i Change it to “post name” permalinks i think the original code works.
Hmm, I’ll ping @jjj about this, however it seems to be working for me (the original method).
Copy everything from /bbp-theme-compat into your active theme directory. Once that’s done bbPress should detect it (in 2.1 that is) and use that instead!
I find where is the prob
It s my theme, I use elegant themes and
In ePanel there is an option in
General Settings >>> General tabs
Number of Posts displayed on Archive pages
before limit is set to 5 I put 50 and bbpress works All Forum appear in list and get_posts() recover all post
But is NOT a fix . 
So if someone have a solution ?
I also posted on elegantthemes forum support.
