I’m running a WordPress Multisite install and have bbPress setup on the main site. However, logged-in users can’t access the main forum. Admins and guests can see them, which doesn’t seem to make sense. Users can see group forums, but not the main page, they just get a page not found error. I’ve even tried creating the forums page and adding the shortcodes, but still get the same error.

New users are supposed to have the participant roll, which I’ve checked. I’ve also tried repairing the forums, but nothing works.

Hi,
What bbPress forum did you create ? So if you edit your forum /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum is the ‘visibility’ under ‘Forum Attributes’ set correctly ? Try to switch it if needed with an ‘update’ in between.
Pascal.

Yes, it’s set to public visibility and open.

I figured out what the problem was – I had to untick the ‘Auto role’ option in the forum settings. Now new members can see the forums.

Hmmm, happy to see that you-re fixed, but I don’t see why that would have helped …
