I don’t think there is a plugin or existing feature that does this.
I’m really surprised that this isn’t a common question, as it is a real huge issue that allows spammers a backdoor to register as a user to your site. Very bad. This code will redirect all login and password attempts to a static page on your site which can use the regular bbp login, register, and pass shortcodes.
You can use this custom code:
<?php
// intercept the Register and Lost your password? links from the standard WP login screen
define( 'REGISTRATION_URL', 'https://example.com/register');
add_filter('register_url','custom_redirect_login_register');
add_filter('lostpassword_url','custom_redirect_login_register');
function custom_redirect_login_register($reg_url) {
return home_url( REGISTRATION_URL );
}
/**
* Redirects visitors to <code>wp-login.php?action=register</code> to
* <code>site.com/registration-page-name</code>
*/
add_action( 'login_form_register', 'custom_catch_register' );
function custom_catch_register()
{
wp_redirect( home_url( REGISTRATION_URL ) );
exit();
}
/*
* intercept bbforum.me/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and
* bbforum.me/wp-login.php?action=retrievepassword
*
*/
add_action( 'login_form_lostpassword', 'custom_filter_option' );
add_action( 'login_form_retrievepassword', 'custom_filter_option' );
/**
* Simple wrapper around a call to add_filter to make sure we only
* filter an option on the login page.
*/
function custom_filter_option()
{
wp_redirect( home_url( REGISTRATION_URL ) );
exit();
}
?>
There are articles on how do add custom code to your bbPress installation.
Note that this is an option provided with my plugin “Weaver for bbPress” which is a fully turn-key solution to creating a bbPress site. I have not created a stand alone version of this option yet.
Hi wpweaver,
Thanks for this. I’m gonna try your code. 🙂

I have the same and other problem.
would you pls help me?
I am wondering if is there any existing feature on the BBPress to have a login, register, forgot password, email confirmation only in front-end? I know that there are [bbp-login], [bbp-register], and [bbp-lost-pass] short-codes that you can place in the page so that it will display on the front-end but the issue is when user enters an incorrect password or account, it will redirect to admin login. What I wanted is to stay always in the front-end. Or do you have any suggestion what plugin I can use that and compatible?
I like plugin “Weaver for bbPress” .
but some problems happens after I installed the plugin “Weaver for bbPress” .
May I ask?
1.It is OK that a new user(registered) logged in from frontend,and hide the wp-admin. But after logout ,”Sorry, you don’t have permission to view this profile.”shown on http://mysite.com/forums/users/oi/subscriptions/?loggedout=true
2. It is OK that admin logged in from frontend. But after logout ,”Sorry, you don’t have permission to view this profile.”shown on http://mysite.com /forums/users/oi/subscriptions/?loggedout=true .
