ok,
1. what two plugins did you try that didn’t work?
2. have you been through https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/
3. Does it work if you disable s2member – just a test to see if it is a conflict
4. what permalink are you running – dashboard>settings>permalinks
5. What bbpress slugs are you running – dashboard>settings>forums
Sorry, I’d edit my last post but I can’t see a way of doing that!
Just an update on progress… So far I’ve managed to import a test batch of topics and they are all in the right place in the admin, however – when I view their parent forum on the front end they are not displaying.
Topics I’ve created via the admin (Topics / Add New) seem to work fine but none of the imported Topics will display. I’ve even compared the tables in the DB but cant spot anything wrong there.
Any thoughts welcome!
I’m having an interesting problem. I have set up a forum and was testing it with a test user. As oon as the user registers or logs-in, the forum root url shows as 404. If the suer logs out, the forum root is again visible. As adnibistrator I have no such issue. The issue is when I have a test user log in as ‘participant’
Here is where I have my test forum.

Ok now it’s working with the latest theme update. Don’t know what he did.
Hi all,
I’d need to convert a bbpress-version 0.73 to the newest version.
Is there any converters etc that could do this?
I tried to use the bbpress-plugins importer and selected the old database as a source but I got an error saying that bb_meta-table is missing from db. I found out that this table has not been used in the earliest versions such as 0.73.
well it looks nice how it is already but thats my opinion.
but if you really want the default bbPress look , i think all you have to do is copy loop-single-topic.php from the bbPress plugin templates and let it overwrite the exact file in your child themes bbpress folder.
i suggest you test it out and make sure it works well in a local development area on your CPU.

@webui1
dont make test replies in the bbPress forums
create a local-hosted site and do all the testing there.
I don’t specifically know if that is default bbpress behaviour, suggest you try
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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
If none of those show a change, then it is probably default behaviour.
Been a while, spent quite a lot of time looking for a solution for the “name” issue.
Wordpress registration checks if a “username” is already used, this is great.
Buddypress is the problem cause they also add a “Name” field to registration, and this can be duplicate creating issues when multiple John Doe’s appear in my forums and activity.
Solution
I created a dirty solution by changing the label for (buddypress) Name to Username, and added a line of text urging new members to fill in the exact same name as the did in the “Username” field.
Although people can type whatever they want there, I hope most will just copy the first name.
This way the @name and username should be similar on all pages.
Then I also removed the option to change this name in the profile edit.php through CSS so no longer can people change their nicknames.
Unless a code savvy member goes to change the CSS in chrome, then the box will appear and they can change their names.
Wishlist
A solution/function where Buddypress or BBpress copies the username and adds that in the nickname field by default.
Anyway, here is a link to my current register page:

P.H.
sorry, but since your site requires login, we can’t see
However I’d suggest you check that no plugin updates are needed and then

Hi
We are using this plug in for one of our clients. Their site just went live after being designed, built, and tested on our beta server. Everything worked great, so we moved it to the live server this week.
However, now that they’re on the live site, new forum users are not receiving their email notifications containing their password. In Beta, there was no email “link” as far as I could tell between the Beta site and our hosting. When a new user would register, they would receive an email from wordpress@clientname.org. Within our hosting back end, I can see that emails were actually sent from ourusername@ourbetaserver.com.
Within the Dashbaord/Settings/General, I’ve made certain that the email account listed on that screen matches what was set up with their hosting provider. I’ve dug through the files until I can see code with my eyes close and cannot figure out how to make this work again.
I’ve just now learning development, so please help (at a 101 level). I appreciate any insight!!
With so little information it is hard to help !
It could be a theme or plugin issue

I don’t have any of the plugins mentioned here and have this issue occurring as well.
Definitely a bbpress – WP conflict. We have tested on our vanilla site.
I had to implement fix by Yolle. Thanks for the code.
Hopefull this bug gets fixed in next bbpress update.
hmm.. as a mod on my test site(as well as on this site) I can trash and spam.
Have you altered any capabilities, or using any plugins that might affect this?
you could try

Hi,
I want to check if We want the forum section of the website to be accessible by anyone that registers BUT we also need to be able to restrict some sections of the forum, so that only some members can view these sections and others cannot. So that I can test this, I wanted to create a forum named “Some Dummy Text” and set this so that only some profiles can access it but others cannot, depending on what the administrator sets as their access rights? If someone without access rights tries to view this forum, can they get a message asking them to “Special permission is required to access this Forum. Please contact us”.
Does anyone knows about it, how to do it?
Thanks
i found this function doing a search , i havent tested though.
plop the code into your child themes functions.php file or your functionality plugin
and change 100 to whatever you like
function bbp_increase-forum-per-page( $args = array() ) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 100 );
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args’, ‘bbp_increase-forum-per-page’ );
code is from this topic
Hitting 50 forum limit? What can I do?
sorry for the late reply, I have been busy elsewhere.
Read private forums is fine, and as it should be.
I have carefully read through the above, and am struggling to help you further.
The best I can suggest is that you set up a test site
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
so that you can try with a default theme and not break you live site
Ok, thought there might be an easy way to just add an conditional to the whole code and test if the forum has a certain parameter.
well its not really a limit on having a certain number of forums
i think its just a limit of it being on the root page since it doesn’t have pagination.
for example if you have over 50 forums displayed in the forum root page any additional forum will not display

http://userproplugin.com/userpro/forums/topic/integrating-userpro-profile-links-user-badges-in-bbpress/

On my site I have several boards in each Forum. Is there a way of showing which of the boards have the latest post? Or alternatively is there an option to show unread posts?
Wordpress 4.0, bbPress 2.5.4. The forums are not available to view as they are member only.
What I want is some indication of which board the red circled item refers to in the attached image.
