Can bbPress run without registration and login? I’m running a super simple website and don’t want to bother my users with registration, logins, etc. I’m not worried about spam. I’ve only got one forum, where I want my users to interact with each other with their posts and replies within that one forum. I’m looking for a simple post and reply forum.

So, Can bbPress run without registration and login? And if so, what do I need to do?

TIA

Similar question; I’m running a woocommerce membership and subscription website; I’d like to include a forum for my users however, they will be already logged in to my site so I don’t want them to register specifically to use this forum / plugin but would like it to already have their username or does this allow users to just add their name manually? Thank you

bbpress just uses the WordPress user login, so if they are registered already, they don’t need to re-register to use bbpress.

Oh thank you for the quick reply, just to clarify, we have a mix of users that are registered in WordPress and others just registered on our platform; I guess I’m trying to get away from non-Wordpress users also having to register seperatky? Many thanks!

So do you see all your users in

dashboard>users ?

or only some of them?
