THis is probably possible with a specific conditional and might be custom development for now to create in bbPress. You may need to hire a developer to create this for you.
1. How can I get people visiting on the website to login in or register and view their profile? Whenever I look at my website in incognito mode, there is no sign up or register button or view profile button.
You may need to add login or register menu items, or you can use the bbPress login widget and add links to your default WordPress register page or the page you put the [bbp-reigster] shortcode.
2. If people can register, how can can that registered person create a new topic? I can’t seem to find that tab thing on bbpress on my website.
What tab thing? just scroll at the bottom of a forum you created and you should see a topic form.
3. How can I make the forum so that only registered people can reply and non registered people to only look at the forum?
I think as long as you do not have any private forums or enable anonymous posting you can do this by default.
4.How can i get registered users to unsubscribe
You are not really specific on what to subscribe to, but you can unsubscribe to forums and topics by following this guide. You can only unsubscribe to forums and topics if you are already subscribed to them though.
Subscriptions
In other words how can i make the forum on my page like the one on bbpress ?
Hard work and custom development.
Try a default theme. All plugins deactivate except only bbPress.
I have no idea why you think private groups would help users to post, which should be in bbPress by default.
Make sure you users have the participant role and not something like spectator. You can check their forum roles in Users > All users in the WordPress backend.
Does what is in this guide help any??
Creating Content
@antonhoelstad
All you had to say was that you did not edit files, if you did not edit any files.
You did not need to post ALL of the code in the templates that just included any specific keywords to search. If you started fresh from on bbPress then you just posted the default templates.
Do not post full template code, on this site use soemthing like gist.github so I do not have to scroll through all of that in this topic, or even in the forums search on this site.
Did you even try putting the templates into a child theme like I said above??
I explain how to here. Simply go to your forum profile and go to subscriptions and hit the red Xs.

Hello folks,
I have created a forum using bbpress on my wordpress site but I am not able to create sub forums or should I say categories in it. Any solution for this or any guide to use bbpress properly.
Thanks
Thanks everyone for posting your method of inserting inline images. So are those methods which you’ve posted a hack? Will it expose security risk? Why don’t bbPress support this capability as the thread has been asked over 3 years ago?
I have gone as far and deactivating all my plugins except BBpress and my them 3clicks. even then participants and moderators can not reply or add topics. I also tried the plugin private groups and still nothing. This seems to incredibly simply! but I can not get it to work.
Under users I have created 4 fake accounts (all my emails) and given them participant access but non of them can us the forum or reply to any topics.
site name is Spanishscholars.com
BBpress: 2.5.8
WP : tried both 4.2.4 and 4.3 ( currently running 4.3)

Hi, I’m making a page on my website that will contain a list of forums. I know how I can add the forum list on the menu, but I have a few problems:
1. How can I get people visiting on the website to login in or register and view their profile? Whenever I look at my website in incognito mode, there is no sign up or register button or view profile button.
2. If people can register, how can can that registered person create a new topic? I can’t seem to find that tab thing on bbpress on my website.
3. How can I make the forum so that only registered people can reply and non registered people to only look at the forum?
4.How can i get registered users to unsubscribe
In other words how can i make the forum on my page like the one on bbpress ?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Runnig wordpress version 4.3
I want to install forum / help desk / q&a type plugin and I am considering bbPress for this.
Does bbPress allow for private posts whereby the submitter must register to the site and can only gain access to their own posts by logging in? Also, can posts be kept private so no other member can see them?
I have a field called website which I would like to remove. What should I do to remove it? Didn’t find it in any functions.php. So where should I search? Or should I remove it from mysql?
Thanks for the help.
Hi,
First I want to say that I read this article: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-the-bbpress-dashboard/ not helped me and last reply was 5 years ago.
When I go to mysitename.com/forum I don’t find any link to administration panel.
I tried bbpress integration plugin and different addresses: mysitename.com/bbpress-directory/bb-admin/ or mysitename.com/bbpress-directory/ but I received 404 error page nout found.
What should I do?
Hello bbPress Forums!!
We are trying install forums for our local business website (www.yoloboatrentals.com) and because we do not want the forums to be part of the website for seo reasons, will it be possible to use a sub-domain installation with ssl without any issues?
That seemed to do the trick. I have no idea where to put that CSS so I installed a plugin called “Add Custom CSS” and pasted it in there.
Thinking about what you said regarding the whole theme thing. I tried a couple of different themes such as the 2010 & the bbpress 2010, and everything seems to display just fine there so your suggestion that it’s theme CSS related seem to be spot on. Thank you.
Add this custom CSS for it to display in a sort of list.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: block;
}
I think this plugin would be better for bbPress in my opinion. It works by setting up the display widget by widget though I think.

@gptxffa this fix is in @satrya’s post you can change the conditional in the function to other areas on bbPress.
In @mvaneijgen’s topic I helped him make it work for his feedback-no-search.php template.
New Topic Form Shortcode Issue
THat should only be for avatars or gravatars and nothing else. You even see that option under a header tag that says Avatars.
The only settings bbPress uses in the discussion settings is the Moderation and Blacklisting settings.
Moderation and BlackListing
You might need to do some troubleshooting just in case to see what might be causing the issue.

For the line-breaks missing it might be some CSS from your theme maybe causing the issue, but link to a post that should have line breaks so I can check and make sure.
ALso fix the oversized avatars using this CSS.

}

By default bbPress doesn’t force subscriptions on users so whatever plugin you are using you may need to contact them. If you need the default way of subscriptions to turn off and on based on certain things like being offline then that may be custom development. By default the users can just unsubscribe from notifications from topics or forums if they do not want to keep getting notified anymore.
