Hello There,

User can’t create a topic from the frontend. Assigned roles to users are Administrator, keymaster, the subscriber. When a user tried to create a topic on submit button it gives ‘403 forbidden‘ error message.
Please help.

Recently, I encountered this kind of problem and I do not have what to do! So, I give up!

Okay, I am having the same problem. The folder and file permissions are accurate.
Folder ‘Forums’ is set to 0755 and the files within it are set to 0644.

I deactivated all of the plugins except bbPress and the 403 error still happens when trying to add a topic to the frontend.

bbPress Version 2.6.9
WordPress Version 6.3
Theme is a child theme of Twenty Nineteen

ok, try making a user an editor in wordpress and see if they can create a post. That might help define if it is bbpress or wordpress/site issue
