Hi,
your initial question was about replies. In fact, you have exactly the same issues for posting, reading, and so on. You have to use the same kind of trick for every action you want to block.
The best way to find which filter is key to control an action, is to start from the template files, to see which bb_call is made, read the source code of this function and discover which filter is applied. It’s the same also for the buddypress menus (either in the admin bar, either in the body of the page), depending on your requirements (eg. Do you allow a non member to discover the list of member in a group, and so on.)
Yes it’s a huge job. When you complain about the way the access control in bbpress is handled, remember that I told you before that blocking the access to replies will not be the only one issue you will have to face. With roughly the same requirements, I have written more than 1800 lines of code (including comments !) to tune the menus and to refine the access control rules. Fortunately, thanks to the filter and action mechanism of WP and the goodwill of their developpers, bbPress and BuddyPress offer many possibilities for this tuning.
I’m trying to import a SimplePress 5.4 forum into bbPress. However the process just stall at “Calculating forum hierarchy”. I tried deleting most of the forums i didn’t really need to narrow down the number of forum/posts to a minimum, but the problem still persist. What could it be?
I have done these all things previously and now have done again once more, and none of this is working. And i have not contacted the server administrator. This is not because of any plugins and theme and no php memory problem either but i don’t understand why only replies tab in word press dashboard is showing this error. Should i try the fresh installation of bbpress if i do will i lose all my data. Please help me if you need more information tell me what kind of information you need i will share here.
bbpress only works on wordpress, so no your can’t directly run it on Magento, so yes a link would do it.
Ok, I am also confused !
If http://www.techgreet.com/ is your site, it seems to be working fine on the client side, I can access and see the forums.
So for the server error – when exactly do you receive this error?
Are there particular actions that you take to create this?
Have you contacted your server administrator, and what did they say?
for the tab error – I presume this is in the dashboard?
Have you just installed bbpress, or is this an old installation?
What else has changed
What other plugins are your running?
It may be a plugin or theme conflict – not sure whether you tried deactivating all plugins except bbPress viz
Check other plugins
Check that no other plugins are affecting this.
Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
Check themes
If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.
Hi,
I have WordPress 3.8.1 and BBPress 2.5.3. I am also using WP Members version 2.9.1. BBPress new topic notifications were working, up until about 2 weeks ago (all other system notifications are still working fine). The only recent plug-in update has been to WP Members, so there may be an issue with compatibility – but I can’t be sure that the problem didn’t in fact start before I updated WP Members.
I would really appreciate your advice, many thanks.

I receive this error, “The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache Server at http://www.techgreet.com Port 80″
Whenever i try to access the replies tab in my site, other tab like Forums, topics and new reply working fine but only replies tab is not accessible at all.
I have tried increasing php memory, disabling and enabling plugins,creating new .htaccess file but still unable to solve it out.
Please help me as i am totally confused and angry with BBpress.
Ok I managed to do this and it was so simple, its a bit embarrassing. I used a plugin called BBPress Post Toolbar.
Thanks Lynq – in what php code and where exactly can I add that code? In bbpress/bbpress.php? and where exactly?

Where do I find it? Do I edit bbpress/bbpress.php or?
The topic title explains enough I think, but is is possible to combine a bbpress forum with a Magento website? Or do I need to have 2 hosts and put a link on the website which links to the forum?
Mailchimp for WordPress I dont think is actually made by Mailchimp?
Mailchimp Widget for WordPress is. They all seem to play on those words. Probably why it wasnt showing up.
I was trying this one in particular because it used a checkbox in the wp registration area and used that registration info to add the user to my mailchimp database. The Mailchimp one doesnt seem that flexable, it made the user fill it out twice which isnt cool.. but then, apparently this one wasnt either… there must be a way and I’ll find it.
Main thing is I know exactly what the problem is now and that its not a BBPress thing.
That is a huge relief.. 🙂
I’d suggest you start with the docs in the codex.
It looks like you don’t need to know any PHP just yet 😉
Codex
I had a quick search of the MailChimp knowledge base and couldn’t see anything bbPress related but I suggest you contact them and file a support request or post in their support forum. I’d be quite surprised if you were the only having an issue.
Also, I use a premium membership plugin (which, of course, manages users) called MemberMouse. Could that have anything to do with this?
Yes
I’m not familiar with MemberMouse but it looks like you need this:

Using WP 3.8.1, bbPress 2.5.3 on my website http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com
As the owner-admin for my website, I’ve been the Keymaster for my bbPress forum for almost 2 years and have experienced no issues. However, I would like to make one of my trusted users a moderator so she can help me better handle the traffic.
When I log into her user account and select “Moderator” for her new role, the software apparently accepts her new role. However, when she logs in, the software appears to reset her role back to “No Role for These Forums”. I even tried making her an admin first, then changed her forum role to “Moderator”. And again, the same thing happens. She reverts back to WordPress role of “Subscriber” and reverts back to “No Forum Role”.
I really need the help of another moderator or two and would really appreciate your help fixing this issue. Any ideas?
Thanks so much for your help.

Make a copy of your page.php (or page-no-sidebar.php depending on your preference) of your StudioPress theme template file and name it bbpress.php
This should also remove ‘door’ from your page.
The way the forum looks will depend on both how your theme is set up, as well as styling changes within bbpress.
There’s not a fantastic amount of styling in this forum, basically it’s just a theme with a left hand sidebar, with some standard widgets in it and a couple of special ones.
Hi,
The current bbpress allows the user to post on group forums but not the general forums section.
Is there any way to allow them to post to both categories?
Thanks,
Brian
I’ve created a series of Forums on this site:
http://xxxxxxxx.ca
They are located here at http://xxxxxx.ca
I used a series of shortcodes so I could customize the pages…
I seem to be running into a problem of “now you see them now you dont” when topics or replies are posted.. almost as if the short codes cant hold the link to the topics and replies.. yet the one main topic I “stuck” to the top and closed as an admin always remains.
If you register for the forums, everythings fine… if you post, it seems to be fine.. but go back later.. and its gone. I cant make any sense out of this. It all seems very buggy… I’m suspicious of a conflict in there somewhere, sometimes the wp menu bar shows.. and I can see the posts.. sometimes.. even though Im logged in it disappears.. but is there to touch.. and I can still see the posts.. sometimes its gone completetly and bbpress thinks I logged out completely, then I can see nothing.. grrrrrrr
The short of it.. these forums arent working right… very frustrating and somehow I need to fix it. I cant just start disabling things without affecting the whole site.
Any sugestions?
With the disappearing toolbar over top.. I suspect a conflict.
I currently run WP 3.8.1
I also use BBPress 2.5.3, BBPress reCapctha 1.1, mailchimp for wordpress lite 1.5.7, W3 Total Cache 0.9.3, WP SEO 1.5.2.2
Im lost.. about to go into the long haul of troubleshooting but any suggestions would be helpful.. I am by no means an expert in these forums, these are the first I have ever built.
As I read through this thread, I’ve seen a lot of confusion on the proper way to install the bbress Theme Lynqoid has provided. Hopefully this post can put most of those questions to rest along with a few tips.
Note: This install is not a bbPress install in and of itself and likewise should only be installed IF you wish to “re-theme” the way bbPress looks already installed on your current theme.
To install:
1. Download the bbPress theme from Lynqioid’s Github. You can do this here:
https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs
2. Open the folder so you see all the files. As of 03/18/14, you should seeing the following:
– bbpress
– css
– extras
– bbpress-functions.php
– README.md
3. Use an ftp program (I recommend filezilla) to open up your website and follow this path:
wp-content -> themes -> “your theme” STOP
4. Simply drag the files named in step 2 into your root theme folder and the changes should show after loading.
Tips:
1. This files must be placed in the root of your theme folder, NOT your child theme folder.
2. Your may see a folder file within your theme that reads “bbPress” already. I am not sure if this folder was placed from the bbPress plugin or if your theme already contains its own bbPress styling….. Either way, Do not erase the original folder or place the files from step 2 into this folder even though it reads “bbPress”. Leave it. Lynqoids theme will not erase it since he has named the folder “bbpress” without a capital P. So in the end if you see two folders named “bbPress” and bbpress”, have no fear. Just remember to place the files into your root theme folder and all should be fine and dandy.
3. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself for fear of royally messing up all the long hours you have put into your bbPress forums, simply do a backup of your site and experiment without a worry.
Hope this helps. To your success!
Cheers

After installing and setting up the plugin, Is there anyway to just make the forum look like styling on this forum? I didn’t know if that file was available anywhere.
Okay I declared the 2 Functions
function my_bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies($input)
{
$topic_id = bbp_topic_id();
$root_forum = alsb_get_post_root_forum($topic_id);
$groups_id = bbp_get_forum_group_ids($root_forum);
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
if (groups_is_user_admin( $user_id, $groups_id[0])
|| groups_is_user_mod ($user_id, $groups_id[0])
|| groups_is_user_member ($user_id, $groups_id[0]) )
return true;
else return false;
}
function alsb_get_post_root_forum($post_id)
{
$post = get_post($post_id);
do
{
$post = get_post($post->post_parent);
}while ($post->post_parent != 0);
return $post->ID;
}
add_filter (‘bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies’, my_bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies, 10);
within my themes function.php. It seems to work, but only for the Parent Forum, not for their child forums.
So when i have
Parent (Private buddypress rootforum for Goup)
— Child 1
— Child 2
Only the Parent is “safe”, when I click as non-member of the group in the forum index on one of the Children, I have access, can read and post. Seems the Access Control of bbpress cannot compete in direct comparism to the forumintegrations of other CMS´. I´m asking how other users do realize their communities with buddypress (which is based on a really good idea) in comnbination with bbpress as forum.
