Ok, so I’m setting up my new bbPress forum and have come across a problem that I just can’t fix. It’s the redirection to the wp-login screen after registration. I’ve scoured these forums and all the solutions offered take me nowhere. I’ve installed 3rd party plugins (like Pete’s) but there is just no changing the redirect. I’ve pasted code into functions.php files, almost anywhere I can, but all it’s doing is going back to the damn wp-login page!
I am going insane here trying to make this work.
Latest WP version, latest Lincoln Education WP theme, latest bbPress version and the site is at tec.selwood.me
Hello support
Just started to experiment with your forum setup on my blog. While testing, I have noticed that when logging in as a subscriber to start a new topic, the site name appears at the top left and when clicked allows them to access my dashboard, how do I stop this?
Using your twenty ten template.
Site is http://www.citycyclerider.co.uk/blog
I have now disabled allow users in wp
Look forward to the answer
Regards
Thank you, Robin. I am looking into the test site option and I agree, that will give me more confidence in my learning and testing our new configurations.
Whilst I can see some of your concerns, there are no security concerns that bbpress will let your users access your wordpress site backend – none of us would use bbpress if it had backdoors like that.
You core issue seem to stem from
I had to install some bbPress code in my functions file to stop non-administrator profiles from seeing the WordPress main menu at the top of the forum.
Please explain further? or give us the code you used.
With that, in having to add code such as this I subsequently shut down my entire site due to adding code the functions.php file that it didn’t like. Not a good situation for me.
That is a wordpress issue, and if you are not good at coding you should not be editing files ion a live site. You really need a test site
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/testing-your-bbpress-installation/creating-a-test-site/
Yes you can set up a separate domain/sub-domain with wordpress and bbpress running, and just show bbpress in this site. BUT you can’t have this administered by the other wordpress site (well at least not at any level of understanding that you would have – you are not ready for multisite 🙂 )
So either you run one site or two sites. 1 site will not give you security issues if set up correctly in wordpress. 2 sites will mean lots of duplication of usernames, double updating, and more room for error.
I’d suggest you look strongly at the test site route – this will force you to learn about how a wordpress site is put together, which will allow you to do changes with confidence of more technical knowledge and no risk to live
Good luck, and do come back and let us know how you get on
it’s not the default behaviour.
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
ok, so you need to amend form-topic.php
Presumimg you can use FTP and use an editor
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
So in form-topic.php you need to amend line 28 from
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() ) : ?>
to
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && (bbp_get_forum_title() == 'other' ) : ?>
This should then only allow new topics if the user can create a topic and the cforum title is ‘other’ forum
This is untested, but should work !
ok – can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

Hello again. I keep testing the forum and I found the images. They are working, but there is another problem: I must click a category to see the images. I need to “expand” the forum front page to display all categories… “open” with the pictures and small description.
I believe something is wrong with my forum setup, the bbPress toolkit is working just fine. I am close the target result, similar to http://www.24baby.nl/forum/
Hello! My website currently has a forum for ‘news’ and a forum for ‘other’.
I want my users only to be able to create topics under ‘other’, but not under ‘news’. I do want them to be able to reply to both topics made in ‘news’ and ‘other’.
I tried setting the ‘news’ forum status to closed, and the topics under there on open. But it still makes users unable to reply on them.
Any way I can achieve my goal? Maybe with the help of another plugin?
I’m currently using bbpress with buddypress and the free version of the theme Quest.
I’m running WordPress 4.4.2, bbpress 2.5.8, buddypress 1.9 and Quest 1.4.1 (which are all the latest versions at creation of this topic)
Thanks,
Jasper
Hi,
Most of the themes are compatible for bbPress and the ones that are not can be tuned with some CSS.
So I would say, go for a theme you like, install a WordPress in a test environment, get bbPress and play with it !
Pascal.
I’m beta testing the forum on my site and the user forgot his password so he reset it. However, once e does this he is still unable to log in. Is there a reason why this is happening? He’s tried resetting it 3-4 times now.
My site: http://wialmalaysia.com/community-4/forum
but yes as Pascal says, you do need to list the forums that you want to include
and I have just updated the plugin for a technical error which should not affect you, but you may want to load the latest version from my site
http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-additional-shortcodes/
I created a test page with this as the content:
[bbp-display-topic-index show=’5′]
[display-newest-users show = ’10’]
This was the result:
Hi,
Just some ideas:
Do you have Jetpack Protect ?
Do you have any security plugins (like all-in-one or other) ? Then please deactivate to test.
Did you change ‘Settings > Forums > Throttle posting every’ to something else then ’10’ ? As a test, if you put it to 0 and save ?
Do you use any membership plugin ?
Is the time of your server correct (Check the time when you post something) ?
Pascal.

Apologies on the late reply everyone. I’m using 3.1, latest version (for if you’re not, it’s like WordPress and you will get hacker bots scanning for old versions.) Unfortunately that seems to be the issue. Thanks @Brandon and @Stephen for your assistance. Table prefixes were properly used. I’ll have another go at it again but I’m pretty sure I was using latest version of WP and BBpress in order to do the conversion.
Hi,
I did a test post on my forum then deleted it; however, it has not updated on the counter, so instead of saying there is no topics it’s still saying one topic/one user.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
There is a function: bbp_get_super_stickies() which is used inside the function bbp_has_topics(). This function basically returns a list of Post IDs from the wp_options table from a row with the key: “_bbp_super_sticky_topics” or “_bbp_sticky_topics”
So one approach could be: override default args
bbp_has_topics(array('show_stickies' => false);
Extra loop for stickys (not tested, just a sketch)
$query = new WP_Query(array('inlucde' => bbp_get_super_stickies());
Though i recommend looking into the function bbp_has_topics to be aware of all possible cases.
Hi everybody 🙂
And first of all:
– Sorry for my English mistakes :/
– Sorry if I post in the wrong forum(?)
– Sorry if this question was already asked: I looked for an answer for 2 days and I can’t find anything which suits exactly to my problem :'(
I am trying to create a very simple forum for this website: http://www.zykoson.com/site
I am using the latest versions of WordPress, BBpress, BuddyPress etc.
I’ve read all the documentation, lots of topics but I still don’t know how to have:
– One “public” part: everybody is able to see the forums and topics, but people have to be registered to post something.
– One “private” part:only registered members belonging to a special group are able to see and post in this part. I would like to manually add these users to the group, after they create their profile.
Really, I think I am stupid because I CAN’T get there. I’ve tried everything: private forums, public ones, creating multiples groups with Buddypress. But no way. There is always a problem (and even if I get something correct, there is still a problem such as the breadcrumb which doesn’t display correctly)!
Please I need help before snatching all my hair, I’m on the verge of abandoning everything T_T
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for this so simple question
Is the latest version of Dizkus v1.3?
Does this look like the source code? https://github.com/paustian/Dizkus
The partial work that you did could you post the source code to GitHub please and I’ll take a look https://gist.github.com/
I tested Chrome and IE11, but anyway it should work in all browsers. I have been trying to check around, but have no idea ! Any plugin that would be delaying things ???
As you we are talking tuning, launch your website also on https://gtmetrix.com/ . It will indicate some performance improvements (but this should have nothing to see with the issue you experience now)
Pascal.
Hi,
many of us in our new forums noticed that we have to double click on many links on the forums to open them. It starts right at our forums root page, please have a look yourself. Do you have any idea what we can do about it?
I already upgraded our hosting package to rule out server limitations. We should have more than enough server power now, even though our whole site is still quite slow (probably due to our premium theme), including the backend (if compared to some YouTube How-Tos, where they have lightning fast page load times).
We are running on WP 4.4.2 (currently latest) w/ MS setup, bbpress 2.5.8.
Thanks for your help

All I want to do is have my website show other users’ basic info when I click their name in a forum post.
That’s what it is supposed to do – click my name here and you’ll go to my profile !
