Looking at the cookies in my browser (after clearing them, then re-logging in) bbpress still insists on setting and using forums.domain.com as the cookie path and not using the base domain cookie.
Right now, for some reason unknown to me, the database IS showing roles for users now. I’m going to try and revist any steps I’ve done prior to this and post them here.
I didn’t get a chance to test out your steps above before it (by magic) decided to work.
Though I don’t understand why this would have resolved any issues I was experiencing, the last thing I did to the site was:
https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ and changed my wordpress values in the config.php file and admin section of the site, then copied the values (again) to bbpress’s config.php file.
** I found this via another post while searching Google, so reluctantly I performed the steps. **

Scroll down here and click Download as Zip Archive – https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk
Then upload and follow the upgrade steps. It is pretty much stable. You shouldn’t have much problems with it.

Have you guys been able to fix this using Ashfame’s link?
One of my issues happens to be this exact problem.

Guatam,
Right now I am using standard settings but bbpress and wpress use separate databases. Also – bbpress IS seeing the user tables just fine because I am able to log in with wpress users into my message forums.
My only db related issue is that the bpress “User Role Map” has no relevance to newly (or already-existing) users.
** I actually had to modify a entry in my wp_usermeta table to re-establish keymaster access to an admin account. (meta_key = bbpcapabilities) **
The other issue really lies with the cookie wordpress is creating not being seen/recognized/considered by bpress. And having gone through the instructions provided on the site and through the wordpress integration section – one site cannot see the other site’s cookie.

What is the database prefix of your WP install? Have you set the correct value in the bbPress settings?

This site uses bbPress 1.1 alpha. It has this feature built-in.

So I’m a compentent user / php programmer and maybe I’ve just skipped over the same steps over and over again? Not sure.
My wordpress install operates on the base domain address
http://www.domain.com
My forums operates on a subdomain address
forums.domain.com
Now bbpress has no problem allowing WP users to log in. However everyone is assigned to an inactive role. Also the user has to sign in again at the bbpress site.
Now I know what you’re going to say about issue 1 – user role mapping has to be setup. Done. Doesn’t work. Weird huh? I even re-submitted my user role mapping, and then created a new user in wp, and logged in as him. He also has no role assigned in bbpress.
And I know what you’ll initially ask about the cookies. I’ve verified my site and blog address (www.domain.com) and I’ve made changes to both wp and bb config.php files for the auth key, secure auth key, and logged in keys to match between the two installations. I’ve also addedd the definitions for cookie_domain (.domain.com) and cookiepath (/). I’ve also cleared all cookies and confirmed the new cookie assigned has the .domain.com address.
(Off-topic, but a lot of content on this site is related to older and outdated versions of software – this site is in dire need of updating. And since wordpress.org uses the forum software you should probably maintain a clean well documented site over here.)
why?
Cause you question is too generic.
Do you need an “unread post” plugin? Get Unread Posts of our beloved _ck_.

Looked around. There is a plugin called “Approve User Registration” but it doesn’t work. I ran a bunch of test registrations, and never received any emails. Guess it’s outdated.
I also tried the “Private Forums” plugin, but I couldn’t get that to work either.
So, I downloaded the plugin ROLE MANAGER.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager/
Using that, you can create many roles for people. I duplicated my “member” role, then changed some of the restrictions.
So, I have a “member” who could read everything, but not post.
And a “verified member” who could post. So, when I get someone that registers, I can change their role manually and make them verified.
I’m checking to see if this plugin works well with the “New User Notification Email” plugin. If that works, then I will get a new email whenever someone registers.

@DarkWolf.it – Thanks
Someone has a signature patch in trac, but I’ve asked them to make it a rock solid plugin instead. I’d rather have that be someone people plugin rather than disable.
Topic/reply promotion could be accomplished as a plugin using the post_order attribute which is currently only used by forums for ordering them similar to pages. We may try something similar eventually for the .org support forums, so we definitely see the need for this.
I would like to have bbpress use the wordpress sidebar widget, anyone tell me how?
Secondly, Is it possible to have it so the wordpress frontpage(without using “Pages”) to show the “Announcements” Forum as posts?

@JJJ: really compliments for latest update
In past i’ve request user signature but i don’t remember if i’ve already asked for topic/post promotion (i think, like vbulletin/ipb, is a good idea to have a way to promote – or move – an article in blog/category/homepage).
Dunno what conflicts this might cause but I modified lines 86-91 of bb-settings.php to:
if ( defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
//$wp_filter = array();
//$wp_actions = array();
//$merged_filters = array();
//$wp_current_filter = array();
}
This prevents wordpress filters and hooks from being removed.
This is my problem: I can add topic, but i can’t read it. When I click on topic title (forum page), I go to group page with message: “There is not entires in this topic” – this is my translation, becouse I’ve got polish version BuddyPress.
What is wrong?
