The permissions system that comes with bbpress is god damn awful. I strongly suggest someone take a look at making it a bit better.
I’m trying my best her to set up some kind of permissions for the different parts of the forums on my page.
It’s damn near impossible to get it working.
I read up on these forums and saw that some other poor bastard got suggested that the plugin members might help him set up permissions. That is not the case because that pluggin hasn’t got premission to alter the roles set by bbpress.
And if you make new roles it really doesn’t matter because you cannot select any other roles but the ones created by bbpress on registration.
If i try to use the permissions set by bbpress there is problems. If i set “Spectator” as the default role on sign-up applicats will not have access to the private forums! GREAT! Yes but user in that role cannot make posts anywhere on the forums.
If i put “participant” as the default role on sign-up applicats can make posts on the forum but they also have access to the private forums.
Holy shit this is a mess!!!
I want the default role to be able to make posts but not able to read private forums.
Then i want to be able to update applicats that are aproved to “member” and give them access to private forums!
And then I would like to have a role called, lets say Officers and when upgraded to officer you can access the hidden forums.
HOW ON GODS GREEN EARTH DO I ACHIEVE THIS? And don’t tell me to install the members plugin because that pluggin CANNOT alter the bbpress roles and you cannot set anything else but the bbpress roles as default on signups!
Hi there
Thanks for the reply.
For the one or two lines of code that needs to be removed from the bbpress plugin files it doesn’t seem right to go to all the effort of a child theme.
I can always remove the code each time the plugins updated.
Would you happen to know where it is and which line I need to remove.
Thanks
Hi,
I suppose with ‘core’ you mean the bbPress plugin code ? NO, NEVER ! You don’t want to loose your changes at the next bbPress update, right ?
I think @robkk answer was the most appropriate one for this topic: Just work on the template, copy it to your (child)theme and modify as he indicated.
See probably step 5 and 6 from https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ an also https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

I have searched and can not find a solution to getting this working
It is a member site and you can use user bbPress password bbPress
I was wondering it would be possible to add a word filter to bbPress? Then, if anyone posts a topic or post containing any of those words, a content notification box would pop up to warn anyone that the content may be offensive, and asking them to confirm whether or not they wish to continue to view the thread. That way, if admins want to allow free speech in their forums, they also have a way to warn visitors/members about any content they may not wish to view.
Even though it’s not bbpress – do you have clue what it might be.
Something seems very strange to me, all your links on your site have a // in front of them.
So the login form has <form method=”post” action=”//http://www.barabajen.se/wp-login.php” class=”bbp-login-form”>
Please try to fix that first (no idea where it comes from, but for sure it’s not bbPress.

When i try to log in to BBpress on my site either by the bbpress-widget or with the[bbp-login] shortcode all I get is a blankscreen and nothing more happens. Everthing just stops with a blank screen on …/wp-login.php.
I looked around and couldnt really find an answer to my problem.
My site: http://www.barabajen.se, And there is a shortcode in the bottom or the right widget-area
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
bbPress is not dealing with passwords as it relaying on WordPress for that, so I cannot really help you here.
– If you have BuddyPress installed (as you refer to the profile) then you could try on their forum
– If you don’t have BuddyPress, try on the wordpress.org forums

Goede middag,
You seem to use the full editor to add topics/replies and not the bbPress standard, correct ?
Some known issues with WP 4.5 so far (nothing to see with bbPress)
– Clean all your cache (hosting side, server side, browser side, …)
– If something uses jQuery to display it, there are known issues (see my answer on one of the plugins here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-on-wordpress-45?replies=13#post-8281904)
Mvg,
Pascal.
The image in the first post is visible when editing the post, as shown below:
The problem I am facing is that since the upgrade to WP4.5, no formatting is applied to the forums anymore. See the screenshot below:
The first post you see should contain an image and the second post should contain a link.
I am using WordPress 4.5 and bbPress 2.5.8.
I have tested the following on both Chrome and FireFox, in both normal and incognito modes.
The issue persists when using the Twenty … themes.
The issue also persists when turning off all extra bbPress plugins.
The issue is also present in bbPress 2.6-alpha.
The rest of my site works normally.
Hello!
Is there a way to include private forums in forums RSS feed (for authenticated users, which have access to specified forums)?
bbPress 2.5.8, WP 4.5
Thank you!
Hi,
In the bbpress profile edit page, one can change the password. The verbal explanation says that the password must be at least 10 characters long. But I find that this is not enforced at all: I could successfully change the password to any lenght, even single character passwords are accepted.
What would be the way to:
1) Enfoce that the password has a minimum length?
2) Customize the minimum length to a value different from 10?
Thanks,

Okay, so this one shows up. Why did the other two disappear?
They were pretty elaborate posts on an issue I am facing with bbPress, and had two images in them (including links to the full post).
The one from today had an additional link to my site, so I would assume that would have to be approved, as is stated. However, I submitted it, it was shown to me, I favorited it and subscribed to it, but that doesn’t show up in my dashboard.
Awesome, glad you’ve got your site running faster 🙂
Hopefully as bbPress 2.6 main focus has been on performance this will get even better once 2.6 is released.
Thank you all for your feedback. After some thorough investigation, I managed to finally configure my caching so that it actually works (never checked that… my mistake – I entered the wrong path in .htaccess). Also, I hard-coded some tweak in my theme, something which was only recently brought to my attention.
And this morning, one of our users finally had site load times of <1s on our forums. I can happily leave them on our main site – even if P3 reported bbpress & Associates as major sources of site load time: That it still is very little with good caching and static CSS/JS files in place (which I did not have before, they were computed on site load, thanks to my theme).
Best

@thebrandonallen You’re right. I made a mistake when doing these tests.
Here’s the results when I keep only the essential extensions, but without bbPress:

OK, now I see !
How about [bbp-lost-pass] ?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any plugin available to change the font size (and maybe color) of BBPress? I have seen dozen of BBPress plugins but I failed to see one to accomplish this basic task.
I have spent several hours editing the fonts in order to make them bigger only to find them reset after updating BBPress, so a plugin for that matter would come in handy.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
If you have already deactivated all plugins except bbPress and switched to a default theme and you still do not see ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’ and/or ‘Replies’, then please try this in Settings > Forums (check after every step if you find the options back on your dashboard):
– ‘Settings > Forums’ : (de)activate ‘Anonymous posting’, save, (de)activate it again to get back to your original setting, save
– ‘Settings > Forums’ : (de)activate ‘Auto role’, save, (de)activate it again to get back to your original setting, save
– Deactivate the bbPress plugin, then reactive the bbPress plugin
– ‘Tools > Forums > Repair Forums’ : Remap existing users to default forum roles, click ‘Repair Items’ (WARNING: Make sure to have multiple admins in case the keymaster role would disappear from one account)

Hi hope someone can help?
I’m using the Boating theme by Flexithemes and running WP 4.5 and BBPress 2.5.8.
I was in the frontend and went to edit one of my own forum posts and got an error stating the page did not exist. On looking in admin I notice Forums are now missing including the ability to create new forum posts etc. The only mention of BBpress I can see is the BBP Style Pack in Settings.
If I try to Edit a forum category in the frontend I now get this error:”You are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.”
None of the previous posts have gone missing in the frontend which looks fine, only the backend has lost Forums. Any ideas anyone?
