Hi,

I have recently installed bbpress. I have created a single forum called ‘Talk’.

When users register, I have set their status to automatically reflect them as ‘participants’. According to bbPress, Participants should be able to, reply to as well as create new topics.

However when registering and logging in on my bbPress page, newly registered users/participants are not able to create new topics; they can only reply to already existing ones which I have created as admin.

Can anyone point out why this may be the case?

Thanks!

maybe a theme or plugin conflict

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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
