If you are happy to have a hands on approach to user registrations, then you probably don’t need a membership plugin.
As far as the bbpress part goes
forums set to public are viewable by anyone
forums set to private are viewable only by registered users
so if you set forums to private they will not appear to unregistered users, so only visible once a user has logged in. If you set not to allow anonymous posting (dashboard>settings>forums) , then only registered users will be able to post.
bbpress just uses wordpress users for login and registration with an extra bbpress parameter, so you can just use wordpress to set up users.
If you are going to have manual registration, then you turn off ‘anyone can register’ in wordpress (dashboard>settings>general>membership), and create a form using a form plugin (eg contact form 7) to let users ask to register with whatever fields you want. This will be emailed to whoever you want, who can then decide if they should allow membership.
You can then take payment manually (eg bank transfer) or via say a Paypal link on your site.
The approver would then add the user (2 minutes or less).
As far as wordpress page content then use a plugin that restricts content to registered users such as
Content Control – User Access Restriction Plugin
finally you would use
bbPress Messages
to allow uses to message each other – don’t worry that this plugin has not been updated for a while – it is stable and works
as far as I can see that would meet your requirements list.
I wanted to create a membership site with: Membership by Supsystic and integrate bbPress for the forum part.
But this has been exploited on February 8th, so it’s no longer an option.
We wanted that:
– members can interact with each other
– the forum is only for registered members
– members need approval for registration (they have to pay first)
– some wordpress pages are only for registrated members
– all other wordpress pages are visible for everyone
All of this was achievable with the Members by Supsystic Plugin + the paid extension to limit some pages only for members.
Is there any alternative that works with bbPress? Our forum already uses bbPress and we wanted to keep it that way.
Thank you very much for any help!
This is our actual membership page on our website (idk if you need it): https://nestli-seminare.de/netzwerk/login-bereich/
Thanks!

FYI _ – I spent months on this topic fiddling and testing and my layout is working well now, I ended up changing to a different theme, since then so much better from a BBPRESS perspective.
For testing, try the https://themespiral.com/themes/timesnews/ theme as see if issue persists ?
This post actually reminded me to try again the Forum Styling and is working well with no missing sub forums etc.;-)
Robin, I am amazed at your support and help. It feels like you ARE bbpress somehow. Hope you feel the appreciation you deserve. Big thank you for your replies 🙂
To my concern/friendly question:
“[bsp-profile] will show ‘My Profile’ in a clickable link to the profile” – it fixes a link if added to a new page. I want it to show the profile directly on the page without pressing a link first 🙂
If I am using [bbp-forum-index] on a page, then the forum shows directly on that page. Not a link 🙂 Thus I was wondering if there is any way to do the same for the profile of a user? Because I would like it to show on a specific new page I have. Hope that explains it better.
How come I cant find a shortcode for the bbpress user profile?
On the forum list bbpress doesn’t show any topic nor replies, even if the forum has at least one topic with several replies.
Any clue?
hmmm…can only suggest that you try the basic fault finding….
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Hi,
I am having issues overriding the css in bbpress.min.css using my child theme style.css
I have also tried the method of creating a bbpress.css in the wp-content\themes\<child-theme>\css\ folder, but that hasnt worked.
Using a parent theme and making changes in that style.css seems to work (albeit my dev server has on an older version of wordpress).
Specifically, I am trying to change the sizes of “topic type” and “topic status” dropdowns (or the font) as the text is cut off.
I’m targeting the ID #bbp_topic_status_select directly with !important and still not working.
WP version: 5.6.1
bbpress version: 2.6.6
URL: tinymatch.com.au/forums/forum/general/
In our wordpress site, our post page is set to Blog in the Homepage settings. We have recently installed bbPress and are setting have set up a forum page with the header “Community Forum”. This correctly displays the bbPress forum tree. However, when you navigate to a forum in the structure, you are directed to the Blog page which then display the forum. This is a problem because the page headers are different. We can’t figure out why this is happening or how to correct it. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
I *think* I’m seeing an issue with bbPress (2.6.6) on WP 5.6.1. I’ve only seen it on mobile devices. What happens is that when you start editing a post in text mode there is no echo. If you switch to visual and back to text, the text appears. I’m wondering is this is related to the recently reported bug(s) in WP 5.6.1 involving TinyMCE or editing in general.
Anybody know any more about this, or has anyone else seen a problem with mobile device text posting on WP 5.6.1?
no not bbpress, you’ll need to find what is adding it
in the user profile I have the google + field I thought it was inserted by bbpress
which field do you mean? – bbpress doesn’t store anything google+ related, in fact bbpress doesn’t store any social media fields at all – WordPress does, and it might also be your theme or another plugin adding these
Among the user fields is Gooogle + which has not been active for a long time.
Why doesn’t bbpress take it off?
Hi
I use wordpress + bbpress
For example, i need to write a query statement(mysql) on a topic.
ex)
selectid,numberfrom tab
When an grave accent is entered, the [code] tag is automatically inserted.
ref img : https://ibb.co/9bhG177
I want it to be typed exactly as you type it.
So I want to disable the function for the code tag.
I need your help and support
Best Regards,
Hyunho
it could be a theme or plugin issue

Then come back
@mc9625 what have you got set in

@robin-w
I was not able to attach an image describing the issue I am facing , hence asking for same. I have managed that finally and the image is attached in thereply.
The description of this plugin reads :
===
Adds an option to the Discussion meta box to use a bbPress topic instead of WordPress comments, and displays that topic beneath the post on your site.
You can let the plugin create a new topic for you in the forum of your choice, or specify an existing topic to attach to the post.
A topic can be attached to as many posts as you’d like, but only one topic can currently be attached to a post.
====
From above my understanding is that in Discussion Metabox of a post a bbPress topic should show up, or I should be able to create a new topic. But that is not happening, though I am getting a checkbox that I have already ticked in, as shown in image I have attached.
You say :
“Topics for posts works on when you publish a topic, so can you start there.”
But when publishing a topic I see no option to attach it to an existing post. Please see image under :
——
I hope I am able to clarify. I can appreciate you have limited time. If still too cumbersome or still not clear, let us forget about this. Thanks anyways.
@robin-w
What I mean is that on activating the plugin I am seeing
when I edit a post.
However, nothing further happens – should I not get a Topic in the bbPress forums I have created with a link to the post ??

I agree with the original poster. the list of plugins leads to many outdated and unsuported so it may be good to add a filter for plugins that are usable for the latest version?
For me the bbp style pack has been the most usefull along with (thankyou Robin!) 🙂
These are the plugins i have installed so far…
bbP Signature
bbp style pack

Im looking for………….
Add smilies/emoticons to tinyMCE
Upload of attachments such as sound files and video to play inside a post
External Links to open in a new tab…
Nice to meet you all 🙂
Next Update Aft Feb 11, 2021.
Having looked more into the WP post table, it turns out that the post_parent value has been associated with the forum id (fid) from MyBB and as such the importer converts each of these unassociated reply entries as a new topic as it can’t create the reply association needed by BBPress that relies on replies post_parent being tied to the initial post/reply in a topic.
Based on this latest understanding I expect I am going to have to go in to the MyBB post table and manually populate the replyto column as this is not likely something that can be resolved, based on my knowledge, by changes or updates to the converter. I am going to create a duplicate install of my latest MyBB installation and test this process to see if I am correct.
I would like to automatically create a topic on bbpress for every post I publish. I use different categories, so far I’ve created one forum for each category.
I’m using bbpress topics for posts plugin, but it doesn’t fit. Since it creates a post only when there’s actually a comment.
Is there any other solution to achieve that?
you will be looking for
`<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_reply_admin_links’ ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>
<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links’ ); ?>`
in
\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-reply.php
or in the bbpress templates section of your theme
and look to move that under
<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_content’ ); ?>
Don’t forget to out any changed files into a child theme to prevent them being overwritten
HI I am using bbpress with memberpress to control forum access with members.
we have two membership levels. and a different forum for each membership.
The first one set up without a hitch.
The second one was set up the same way but the access is not correct. It should say a particular member group. instead it says public. and when people are logged into memberpress and should have access the page says 404 error not found
I think my memberpress rules are set up correctly as they are identical to the settings for the forum that is working. WHat coould I be missing here?
