I installed bbPress as a plugin on WP 4.1 MultiSite – on one sub-site. 2014 Theme. Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/super-socializer/
I am new to bbPress and user login.

I am using a plugin called Super Socializer for that site login, for commenting etc. I don’t want a separate bbPress login. I want bbPress to be open to whomever logs into the site.

If I leave bbPress set “open” – no registration – how do I restrict bbPress participation to registered/logged in site users?

I would like access for reading Forums to be open to anyone, like the site. But login for writing.

Sorry if this is a super stupid question – please be patient. Even helpful? 🙂

Thank you.

Oh – bbPress plugin version 2.5.4

Okay. I think my question is not possible, and perhaps makes no sense? Oops. Again – stupid post.

Nota stupid question

Essentially you set up registration using super socializer.

Then in dashboard>settings>forums

make sure anonymous posting is not ticked, and auto role is ticked and set to participant

Users will then register for your site, and the first time users log on they are given participant access to the forums.
Make sure your forums are set to visibility open, and non-logged in users can see, but only logged in users can write, which achieves all you want.

Excellent! I will give that a go.
I checked with the author – he says it will work. But I had no idea how to set it up, at all.

Thank you very mush!
Cheers!

I will update this thread with my sure success.

I think it is working. I need to get my tester on it.
