Is anyone experienced at taking a Web Wiz forum and bringing the content and functionality into BBPress? I am interesting in hiring someone to do this for us.
Can I change me Avatar and how
Created this guide awhile ago, just because people keep asking how to do this.

Can you tell me where to find the original Moderator permissions that comes with your plugin?
bbPress User Roles and Capabilities
The ‘something happened’ is unfortunately the key to this.
Users will have a role, and the default roles are stated in
bbPress User Roles and Capabilities
so as long as a user has the right level, then the default will tell you what they should have.
But an plugin, or change to functions code can change the default roles, so without pouring over the code, it is impossible to say whether a user has a particular level beyond seeing what they can do.
So you’ll need to come back to ‘something happened’ to wpork out wthat that was and why it affected.
So have you done
theme updates
plugin updates
changed themes
added or deactivated plugins
ok, found the link in your other post.
Posts and comments are a wordpress thing and controlled by wordpress roles
Forums, topics and replies are a bbopress thing and controlled by bbpress roles
You’ll find wordpress roles at the top of a user edit, and bbpress at the bottom
Dashboard>users>all users>edit user and that’ll get you to the screen
and yes functions.php is where you should put it, but generally in a child theme
Functions files and child themes – explained !
I am having trouble with one aspect of bbpress right now. I want to create one specific category of my forum so that everyone one can see it even logged out users but only certain roles can reply and post to that topic in the category. What plugin do I need for this? I tried private groups plugin but non authorized users just get sent to a page not displayed page I want everyone to see the posts but only certain roles can reply or post to that category. Thanks.
But out of the box BBPress does not separate forums in different categories.
This needs to be achieved with a few hacks.
TamrielFoundry was my model as it is the better looking BBPress forum on the web.
After trying a few hacks, like the “epicwebs” snippets from GitHub I decided to create a simpler loophole.
I created a page (see here) on which I added the following text to create categories with a forum list of each categorie under it.
<strong>Creative</strong>
[bbp-single-forum id=63]
<strong>Healthy Living</strong>
[bbp-single-forum id=164]
<strong>Entertainment</strong>
[bbp-single-forum id=58]
The lines “bbp-single-forum id=XX” has the ID for each category with the forums of that category displayed under them.
Good luck

https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/# Creating new roles
Hi okay so I added 2 more roles by following the link above. The new roles show up and I can choose them in the User’s Profile and almost work with no problem but I am having a few problem. I did not give permission to alter “Posts” or “Comments” for either new role that I created and it is allowing the new roles to change everything about Posts and Comment sections. I did give permission to alter “Forum” in the new role Moderator-FLO but that doesn’t work.
So I checked to see if the regular Moderator role that comes with the plugin allowed for editing of the Forum and it also does not. I don’t know where to go to check the permissions to see if I can change it but I have been searching for the last hour and a half.
I also checked to see if the regular Participant role that comes with the plugin worked like it was suppose to and that one is perfectly fine although I would like to change creating topics temporarily.
In your forum on the link above that I have added I could not find where it says to add the coding, so I just assumed, taking a chance that it would work in the function.php file in my theme. So that is where the coding is located.
Can you tell me where to find the original Moderator permissions that comes with your plugin? Or anything to tell me what I could be doing wrong? These roles are super important to this type of forum and I could use all the help I can get…. This is really my first time working with WordPress but I’ve been doing HTML since 1998 self taught… I have been out of the game awhile.
Ok so I’ll simplify this a bit:
Is there STILL no way to do this? I have anonymous posting allowed, but can’t eliminate the email box. I don’t want bbpress collecting email addresses.
Our forum is open to members only, utilizing private forums and private topics. Something happened and my Participant users can no longer open private topics. Setting aside the “something happened”, how can I verify that my users all have the read_private_topics and read_private_replies capability? If they do not, how can I give them all that capability? We have about 3,000 users, so it cannot be done one at a time.
If they do have read_private_topics and read_private_replies capability, what could be another cause for them being able to see the private categories and forums, but not see the list of topics or see the topics directly?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi guys,
In the passed I created a website with bbpress.
The default bbpress theme was horrible bad readable.
So I found a way to change the theme so it would match my wordpress theme.
After update the theme got reset to the default bbpress theme again.
Now I have created a new wordpress website.
I stumble at the same problem again.
Is there something simple how I can change the bbpress theme (user friendly)
I have been reading forums and this is really giving me an headache, all solution are based on editing files, creating child theme ccs files etc etc, all complicated stuff.
There must be something user friendly to change the default bbpress theme right?
Is does not have to match my wordpress theme, if I can just select something different that would be great.
Friendly regards,
Pascal
Thanks Robkk,
I have a plugin by CleanTalk on my site and I think this is the reason for the internal error. I’ve deactivated the CleanTalk plugin and there internal error is gone. So the plugins were conflicting. I’ve notified CleanTalk of the issue.
Bursah, do you use CleanTalk too?
The bbPress isn’t working properly on my site though, the login widget isn’t showing up:

Any further advice would be greatly received, thanks very much! 🙂
any post posted by the admin suppose to show up automatically on the LATEST POST in d home page
Most of the time this is for blog posts, unless you set up bbPress for your front page??
@amelliya
It might be that some comment form data is on the template that bbPress is inheriting.
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
You can create a bbpress.php and remove any comment code , or you can install this plugin and disable comments and trackbacks on bbPress post types.

New install of bbpress v2.7.5 on wordpress v4.2.2
Question: How can I redirect to /forum after login? I have forum page set as a private page. bbpress forums need to be private and only accessed by registered users.
I have searched for info on how to login/register and then redirect to a forum and haven’t been successful in finding a simple solutions. Some solutions look too complicated regarding writing code. I would assume there is a simple solution here.
I have tried a redirect plugin (peter’s) and doesn’t work for bbpress users set with any bbpress role but does work if I login in as wp-admin with wp admin rights.
Sorry but I don’t know what and where to add something. In the widget.php I have this :
<?php if ($show_user) :
echo '<div class="bbp_show_user">by <span class="topic-author">' . $author_link . '</span></div>';
endif;
if ($show_forum) :
echo '<div class="bbp_show_forum">In: <a href="' . bbp_get_forum_permalink($forum_id) . '">' . bbp_get_forum_title($forum_id) . '</a></div>';
endif;
if ($show_date) :
echo '<div class="bbp_show_date">';
bbp_topic_last_active_time($topic_id);
echo '</div>';
endif;
if ($show_detail) :
echo '<div class="bbp_show_detail">';
bbp_topic_excerpt($topic_id);
echo '</div>';
endif; ?>
I think that I have something to do with the bbp_get_forum_permalink to go to the last page of the topic.
I have tried to add this to the .php of the widget but it’s not working
I’m a noob in php … I just know where to find the files on my ftp and to edit if someone know what I could add to the files. I have tried the widget “last posts” but it show all the last posts even if the lasts were in the same topic. It doesn’t display the news topics if nobody reply into them.
see if the note left here can help.

and also if this topic helps.
Kunena converter for bbPress 2.4
It was https://thedomain.com/ for wordpress and bbpress was standard, so https://thedomain.com/forums/
For the path, it was standard for WP Engine:
/nas/wp/www/cluster-1234/thedomain/
The log was just getting spammed with that error until I added that array(). But it wasn’t the big problem, so I wouldn’t have looked or noticed it unless I was having some other unrelated issue.
instead of this on single forums
bbpress.org/forums/forum/pimp-your-press/
you would have this.
bbpress.org/forum/pimp-your-press/
And if you create a category for some forums you could have
bbpress.org/forum/design/pimp-your-press/
not yet but there are plans to include something to list moderators
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/459#comment:41
Nope, its on WP Engine. I went to look through the logs because I was having the capabilities problem. I couldn’t access any of the wp-admin bbpress screens without permissions errors. I used User Role Editor, and hit reset to fix that.
Then looking through the logs the were just filled with the same error from the same line as this person who started this thread. Changed the path to HIDDEN here:
Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in HIDDEN\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php on line 1446
Going into functions.php and changing the second parameter to be wrapped in an array() call fixes it.
You can try flushing your permalinks and see if that works

How to install bbPress.
Installing bbPress
The search box I am not sure what you are after really, bbPress comes with its own forum wide search though.
Hi there,
I’m having issues with setting up the login part of my forum.
I created a lost-password page and a register page as instructed and then added the bbPress login widget to my page. However, the site does’t like it and gives me this error page with the message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, you@example.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
When I remove the bbPress login widget then the forums page opens fine.
Please help!
Thank you

bbPress Version 2.5.7
s2Member Pro Framework Version 150311
From Users when using Bulk Actions to change an s2Member Role (from e.g. Free Subscriber to Level 1) bbPress Forum Role changes from e.g. Participant to No Role.
Updating Role 1 User at a time (clicking Username then Edit User) bbPress Forum Role remains Participant. So no problem updating Users 1 at a time.
