I see:-
(i) on the main screen the bbPress button, with a list of forum options;
(ii) the sane at the top of the Dashboard;
(iii) Forums, Topics and Replies on the Dashboard sidebar.
I’d love to review what you have, and help get it into bbPress core properly.
Can you attach your progress to this trac ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/459
It’s a feature we’ve talked about in some fashion for the past… oh… 7 years or so. 🙂
Thanks to all bbPress team members for creating a fantastic system. It’s a great tool.
The one thing that I needed for a recent project was a way of controlling user and group access to specific forums. Not finding a solution that was simple to deploy in these plugins or forums, I wrote one.
What I would love is to hand it off to someone who is willing to review it, polish it, publish it, and support it.
The methodology is pretty simple. When adding/editing forums, it allows you to choose one or more users who have access, and it controls whether they see it or not by piggybacking on the “post__not_in” and “post_parent__not_in” settings in WP Query.
If you have the very awesome User Groups plugin by Katz Web Services installed, then as a bonus it will detect that and also show an option to choose one or more groups to grant access to.
To-do includes:
– Verify the methodology
– Add filters + actions
– I18N
Post a reply and I can email it to you.
Unbelievable, plugin “Crayon Syntax Highlighter Settings ” activated Tinymce in Bbpress with its option “Display the Tag Editor in any TinyMCE instances on the frontend (e.g. bbPress)”.
Problem is i dont want to use this plugin and use functions.php to decide what buttons are visible.
do you have an actual forum page
viz
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ section 3, and which way is I set up?
“Dashboard>Users> edit user and select your username
Youll see at the bottom of the edit screen your bbpress role”
There is nothing about bbPress in my profile. But there is a box at the top for assigning forum roles to people, and I have used this to make myself Keymaster. The result is… exactly the same error message!
Is this not still the same issue as
bbp-topic-index pagination URL fail if used on homepage
In which case come back with the answers to my Q’s and I’ll try and help further
Your theme is possibly key to this.
Are you doing this through
Dashboard>forums>new forum?
and what role have you given yourself
Dashboard>Users> edit user and select your username
You’ll see at the bottom of the edit screen your bbpress role
come back if I can help further
Alexandru, with respect, what you’ve commented is a straw-man at best and a non-sequitur at worst.
I am involved in the project within my own limitations and do contribute whenever I can with what skills I have.
It is silly to claim that for the project to work faster we need more people to “just be involved” as this neither addresses my point, nor does it reflect reality. The bbPress development team has a formal structure with several people working on the project.
My question was to point out that while they have been active in the past, things seem to have stalled.
Users have both a site role and a forum role, and those are the specific terms used within wordpress and bbPress, respectively. Thank you for your concern, but I believe I understand the difference. I’ve never seen any reference to the word rank, but it would undoubtedly alleviate some confusion if bbPress were to use that term in place of forum role.
I would like to be able to allow forum users to earn ranks and titles like achievements. Notable badges or icons everyone can see. I think it would add a lot of depth to the forum, but maybe bbPress is not the best tool for that.
I’ll caution you not to conflate “roles” with “ranks.” A “Role” provides specific capabilities on the site (and in the forums) where as a “Rank” is a visual indicator of some kind of importance on the site.
Sometimes these are the same; usually they are different. I bet there’s value in having a separate “Rank” plugin for bbPress to help visually group users together into level of importance that don’t dictate the scope of permissions users have within the forums.

Wordpress 3.8.1
bbPress just installed
I have tried several times to create my first forum. Every time the same error occurs:-
“You are not allowed to edit this post.”
Huh??
With current bbPress neither is possible as far as I know !
I take out roles from the display, I hate being a “keymaster” and think “participant” sounds a bit low.
Thanks,
Yea, I was going to post in both because I don’t know what the culprit is. I thought it was my theme, and have confirmed this happens with just the default themes as well.
The link however has a bbp_ tag to it, so that’s why I thought to post here too.
Just in case anyone else needs it
bbpress Version 2.5.3
BuddyPress Version 1.9.2
offhand I’d say yes, more likely buddypress, try the support forums there and come back if needed.
You should give them the wordpress, bbpress and buddypress versions, any plugins you have and what theme you are using

I want to disable pagination on certain pages, eg. homepage, but still want pagination in the forum root just like how bbpress.org does it. Where should my search begin?
Hey Robin, I’m sorry this guy never came back and elaborated, but I have the same question. It seems like such an obvious thing to me, I really can’t figure out why there’s no documentation on it.
I’m using bbPress 2.5.3, which comes with some built-in forum roles:
Keymaster
Moderator
Participant
Spectator
Blocked
Sure, I’d like to be able to change the names of these roles, but more importantly, I’d like to add new ones. Permanent ones. What about a moderator for only a specific forum, rather than all of them?
Specifically, I would like to have several different types of Participants, but without a change in permissions. I’d really just like to change what it says under a person’s name on the forum. Like a title, badge, or mark of prestige for forum users.
I have this great site role editor called Members, but it has nothing to do with the forum roles. If I could have some similar functionality for bbPress, that would be great. Do you know if this is a possibility?
@satrya
Looks like you’ve done the research – I have added your comments to the tracticket
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2175
and we’ll see if the experts reckon that’s the fix and put it in the next release
how can i show letest thred (only last one) on my home page template. http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ i tried all this short cods in this page but nothing worked.
Hi..
please help me to get bbpress latest post.’[bbp-single-view]‘ this shortcode are not working. how I get bbpress latest post to my home page.
Hi! I’ve just installed bbPress (so it should be the last version) and I have the last version of WordPress too. After installing bbPress I keep getting this error in like 90% of the times I refresh my page: Fatal error: Cannot call overloaded function for non-object in /home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 529
My website is http://www.travelersuniverse.com/
This error does not occur when bbPress is not installed.
Many thanks!
Hi, I’m using a wordpress theme, Brooklyn, that includes a contact section on all the pages including the bbpress forum I added. The contact section I designed uses shortcode the theme came with, but on the bbpress forum page the shortcode does not work. Instead the text of the shortcode is written out. I tried changing this to html instead of shortcode in the theme, but then it stack the icons into one column.
Does anyone have suggestions on how bbpress can recognize the shortcode for the theme.
Thank you,
Matt
Thanks ravanh, yes, I have tried forum plugin (member at WPMU) but unfortunately it too has bugs (next/prev link doesnt work on long threads) and they have not released a new working version for a while and the beta doesn’t activate and work for me either.
Such a shame that bbPress seems so dismissive of the idea of working with multi-site properly or at least in a way that follows most plugins expected behaviour. Some of the responses to others past enquiries almost border on rude – not sure why.
I shouldn’t complain though, it is OSS but I don’t have the time to work on it myself, so can’t expect someone to do it all for me!
Thanks for the helpful response.

If it works for others i must be making some mistake. Tried with default theme same problem. It is some test development with many, many WP and Bbpress plugins. Could be that some of them is blocking.
