I don’t think you fully understand what roles and capabilities are. Furthermore, did you try the plugin I suggested? It’s quite different from the “WordPress Access Control” plugin which doesn’t provide you with the ability to modify the capabilities different roles have. The documentation is indeed outdated since the way people register has changed in bbpress 2.x.. The same functionality that the user role map appears to have had (I never used bbpress before 2.x), can now be found under General > Settings > New user default role.
Awesome !
Thanks hscoder
really useful links
best wishes

I’m using BBpress for my L5R writing/roleplaying community, though it’s still under construction. I would also be interested in a dice roller with the kind of functionality Myth-weavers has for theirs. If anyone knows of any, I’d appreciate it as well. Otherwise, I may just have to break down and figure out how to write my own.
Hi again,
…Am I overcomplicating this? Should I just make the default new user a “subscriber”?
Thanks. 
EDIT: Subscriber doesn’t seem to work.
Hi,
Thanks John.
Yes doing three private forums on a single website WP installation.
I’d like to create users who can pretty much only access (and post to) the forums as a part of their user privileges.
How would you tackle this?
Thanks again.

Sorry – the file is form-topic.php
and you have to remove the same code from form-reply.php
De po-file lijkt me niet compleet, er zijn nog een hoop teksten die in Engels worden weergegeven. (Of heb ik het mis?)
Ik heb nu zelf een hoop vertalingen gedaan, maar in de code zelf. Dat is natuulijk niet de meest handige oplossing, want bij upgrades van bbPress zou ik die weer kwijt zijn.
Kun je zelf vertalingen aan de po-file toevoegen?
Wil eventueel helpen bij verder vertalen van bbPress, indien nodig!
I just had the same problem but figured it out.
Probably not the cleanest solution but it works
go to the bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/ folder
open forum-topic.php
search for “form-allowed-tags”
select and delete
<?php if ( !current_user_can( 'unfiltered_html' ) ) : ?>
<p class="form-allowed-tags">
<label><?php _e( 'You may use these <abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr> tags and attributes:','bbpress' ); ?></label>
<code><?php bbp_allowed_tags(); ?></code>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>
heres my site
http://de5igno.com/dosebox/
its not letting me post a new topic….. i filled out the topic line with “this is a tester”
and it said
ERROR: Your topic cannot be empty.
also i noticed at the top it said
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘bp_activity_at_name_filter’ was given in /home/content/32/5264432/html/de5igno/dosebox/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 170
its not letting me post a reply… i filled out the text box but still it says

Thx for our work. it’s really cool 
i try to import 169 000 post of my phpbb, it’s very very very long
thx again
Import tool seems a little trial and error…
I have a relatively modest ‘standalone’: 324 Registered Users and 1,573 posts.
Backups done, plugins switched off, default template chosen; imported users apparently okay – though luckilly I did work out that it changed my wp login credentials to that of the bbpress standdalone – my wp-admin old admin account login no-longer functions – but hey, probably better for security 
The next stage of importing forums and topics stalled. Now if I try and start again I get the “There was a problem dropping the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables… …or drop the tables yourself” message.
What to do next?
Thanks
I had to use the following code in order to get it to work:
!(is_post_type_archive( ‘forum’ ) || is_singular( array( ‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’ ) ))
I needed to use is_post_type_archive() in order to get the widget to disappear from the forum index because none of the following tags worked:
!is_page() (tried with slug, id and title)
!is_single() (tried with slug, id and title)
!bbp_is_forum()
!is_page_template( ‘page-front-forums.php’ )
as well as a bunch of other stuff I forgot. Does anyone know if there is a simpler tag that I can use?

Hello. I have some problems with the forum
(location: http://boldogics.com/home/forums/)
Some pages are working, and some pages are not visible…
I’ve tried some shortcodes, but nothing logical….
@folgerj : i’ve seen your forum. Can you please help me to configure mine too?
I believe that I have installed bbPress correctly and setup the shortcodes so that the forum displays on my site (both the topics, login, and registration). But the problem is that once I believe I’m logged in and I click on a topic to try to add something, it will not let me. It says this:
“You must be logged in to create new topics.”
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I setup a new user to test it out and this is what I’m getting the problem with. I setup blank topics ok when I’m logged in as administrator so is it an issue with user rights? Here is my forum:
http://www.theheartbandits.com/forum.html
I’d like to know this too.
Hi Steve,
I would greatly appreciate it if you could post a link to the code here.
Thanks,
Chris
I’ve been using the bbPress Custom Views plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbp-views/). I’ve been creating custom views, but I’m wondering how to create a custom view which is an AND or OR statement, so meets 2 different conditions. Here’s an example (though written incorrectly of course).
bbp_register_view( 'rides-needed', __( 'Rides Needed' ), array( 'meta_key' => 'needed_offered', 'meta_value' => 'Need a Ride' AND/OR 'meta_key' => 'ride-destination', 'meta_value' => 'Timberline'), false );
So, that is to say: display the topics WHERE:
meta_key “needed_offered” = ‘Need a Ride’
AND
meta_key “ride-destination” = ‘Timberline’.
From Gautam’s post (http://bbpep.com/2011/04/creating-custom-views-in-bbpress/) I know I can use these parameters (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Parameters), but I’m not sure how to translate WPQuery into the register views function. Thanks in advance!
I’ve got it working – I messaged him but then went in and dug round the code and its now working with the new V3 PHP API from FB.
Not sure what to do, but I’m happy to zip it up and post a link to it.
Steve
It’ll take some CSS wizardry, something like
.bbPress #primary #content {
margin: 0 2% 25px 5%;
width: 90%;
}
and you’ll probably have to adjust other things to make it look good. Actually there is a guy who posted a twenty eleven child theme that extends bbpress out to the full page width.
he posted it here, his website is serverpress.com or something like that.
But what of my theme hasnt scripted anything for bbpress?
Basicly I have to able to write css to be able to change bbpress layout on my page? Therese is no way to just upload some theme or Copy/paste some code?
