Does Membership-lite have any bbPress specific code in it? I suspect it has something to do with roles and capabilities. Maybe try deactivating bbPress, reactivating it, and visiting Settings > Forums. That silently does a bit of validation on some bbPress settings, in the event things get botched somehow.
Few biggish things to do:
* Migrate Codex
* Redirect Legacy Plugins
* Blog Sidebar and Comments
I just saw a tweet about this plugin yesterday.

While I have not used it before, I know his code is rock solid and support is fantastic. It specifically mentions bbPress support and might be able to easily be modified to use groups instead of people who purchase a product. Might be worth asking him about.
If I ever pick up a copy, I’ll try to write up a full review on it as this feature has been requested for some time now.
The code is in the core for you to use, though not yet implemented in the front end, the functions work.

version 2.0.2, sorry
still no solution here, can anyone help me please?? 
thanks
This fixed it for me, too. Thanks so much!
If only I had the time and knowledge.
PS netweb – ‘that is has that is that’?! Your grammatical apathy impresses me–and I am serious…not trying to be a jerk.
Thank you again Annointed.
I solved this issue by placing your code in: loop-forums.php, maybe this has changed in recent releases.
Add the ‘bbPRess Recent Topics’ widget to a sidebar
https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
Or use the [bbp-topic-index] shorcode
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
You can use ‘shortcodes’ on your WP pages
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
Here is something to start with on 2.1 themes.

I have just tried the same by adding the below to a template and is working perfectly for me.
Code:
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-topic-index]‘);?>
Currently bbPress has the URL structure that is has that is that, you are indeed welcome to write a plugin or contribute to the code base as JJJ wrote above to implement other URL options for bbPress.
I’m having a problem with my 2.1 themeing since updating. In my custom archive-forum.php a call to <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-topic-index]‘);?> Is returning the error Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php on line 109 .
Any idea what this could be?
OK, thanks. The link would make a great addition to this forum’s sidebar

If you Google “bbpress trac” and hit “I’m feeling lucky” it should also take you right to it.
Hi,
I’m having the same problem. Would love to help resolve it but I’m afraid this is beyond my knowledge.
I guess it relates to that WP MU default behaviour is to send all registrations to the “main” blog. Can the bbpress form somehow hook into WP’s registration procedure to bypass the redirect? I wouldn’t know where to start.
WP MU almost needs to separate out Network Users, who administer sites, and blog users, who comment and post in the forum. Or allow each site to register its own users. Perhaps add blog id to the user table and let us chose how it should behave. Just thinking out loud 
In the mean time I think I might go back to my previous multisite implementation, which just involved a little hack in wp-config that swapped the database table prefix based on the domain calling the site. This means that each site has it’s own distinct User and Forum tables. Of course there are some obvious downsides too, but everything is functional. If anyone is interested in that idea then I’ve posted on my site about it.
Frustrating that this is the one thing that is stopping my site being exactly as I want it, but don’t get me wrong, bbpress 2.1 is great and I look forward to future releases. Keep up the good work.
If you need help from an expert beyond the bbPress development team, hire one. 
It’s safe, but I don’t think I would use TinyMCE with anonymous posting turned on. If so, you should probably modify the TinyMCE functionality to restrict what UI elements are available.
Ok, at the moment I tested this
function custom_bbp_breadcrumb($r) {
$r = ' | ';
return $r;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_breadcrumb' );
and it seems to work, but maybe there is a more elegant solution… any help is appreciated
After I deleted a topic from my forum, the “last updated by” alert at the top of the topics listing page says “and was last updated by Halle No Topics.”
Although “Halle No Topics” makes a pretty badass mob name, I think this is a display bug
.
bbPress 2.1 brought the fancy editor to topics and replies, which is great, but the link function is broken. In the Visual tab, if you click it, it does nothing. In the HTML tab, it generates invalid code that disappears if you switch to the Visual tab. The code it generates is, e.g.,
<a href="http://poetryroundup.us/whup/?topic=editors-please-comment" title="Link"></a>
instead of
<a href="http://poetryroundup.us/whup/?topic=editors-please-comment"> Link </a>
There are a couple of other problems–can one set the Visual tab to be the default? I am sure that many users would appreciate that. Also, in Visual mode, a return inserts an extra line–can one turn that off? For my purposes (posting poetry) that is a real killer.
Thank you in advance!
A ‘Forum’ will contain topics, whereas a ‘Category’ contains forums.
You might have a category ‘Open Source Software’ and then have forums ‘WordPress’ and ‘bbPress’ in that category.
Status – Yes, a ‘closed’ topic is still visable just no more replies can be posted to that topic.
Visibilty:
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private: Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums
And also https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
