Thank’s in advance,

bbpress 2.2.
twenty-eleven theme
wp 3.4.2

My forum used to be setup so unregistered users could post but then I got hit with tons of spam and changed it. I thought it would automatically provide me with a user registration/login option, but things cant be that easy, right?

I need help with setting up the option for people to register before posting to my forum. I looked into buddypress, but didn’t think it was a good idea since I’m a newbie.

Info—
Under general settings, I have “anyone can register” checked, with new user role as “subscriber”.
The only forum settings unchecked are: Allow topic and reply revision logging, Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies, and Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies. The default forum user role is participant.

No one is able to reply or post new topics and there is no option to login. It says, you must be logged in to reply or create new topics.

I am very new to coding and had a web developer friend of mine put together my site for me and teach me the basics. I am now at a point of teaching myself anything new. I’ve read all the wp/bbpress documentation and searched Google for weeks with no luck.

I would appreciate any help if anyone has time. Please be as specific as possible 🙂

hi,
i maintain a non-profit forum with a userbase that will create 1-2 million entries a year. will bbpress be able to handle that? what forums with high volume do you know that use bbpress?
thank you so much for creating this software! 🙂

Anyone knows why it’s telling me this when I click the “Register” button on the site? My main purpose for using BBpress is to be able to have users register.

Any ideas?

I’m using:
WP Version 3.4.2
BBPress Version 1.6.1

hello,
after the latest bbpress update my forums don’t work (when you click a forum topic, there are no posts or replies) and my navigation bar is also gone, along with my logo. It seems something has broken the buddypress system, I even use the default bp theme. http://msflights.net/forums/forum/general-discussion If you click any of the topics, there are no replies, it is just blank once it loads up.

What should I do to fix this?
thanks

I tried installing bbPress 2.2 today because I’ve used it on another site and love it. But, the 3 custom post types didn’t show up in the navigation menu in the Admin panel at all (and entering the URL for them doesn’t work either). The bbPress “Forums” menu items do show up in Settings and Tools though. Strange.

I activated and deactivated all of my plugins and traced it to a conflict between WPMU Appointments+ and bbPress. As soon as I activate Appointments, the bbPress post types vanish. Does anyone have experience with fixing this? I need the Appointments feature on my site and really wish that I could use bbPress instead of some other forum plugin.

WordPress version 3.4.2
bbPress version 2.2
WPMU Appointments+ 1.1.5.1 plugin site

So I had to reinstall BuddyPress and bbPress, and now for some reason it won’t allow me to publish a new topic. I have the site-wide installation, and there is a “New Topic” button on my Forum Directory page… but when I click it nothing happens.

Please assist!

Using Wp 3.4.2 and latest version of bp my site is http://riptpages.com  My problem is that I have been informed that there are two issues with registering to my site . 1) once registered  and activated username and password not recognized 2) some members are not receiving activation emails.  Im not sure when the issue started or how to duplicate the problem i ran several test signups and they were successful all the way through.  Not sure what is the problem. Although Im glad to finally find out what was going on because I found it odd at first that I had a steady flow of members registering and no one posting or commenting, but it makes since now. So if anyone could be so kind as to give me a suggestion on how to fix. I read on another forum that the issue could probably be fixed with this wp-mail-smtp plugin but Im not sure if it applies to my problem. Thanks in advance

I use custom user roles on my website with ‘Member’ as the default role. After the update, all members show up as ‘Participant’ on the forums, and all users from roles other than ‘Member’ show up as ‘Member’. I also found that the permissions for different roles had been edited. One of my roles lost all permissions other than read and the ‘Member’ role gained the edit_posts permission.

The forums are also only visible to admins, and 404 for all other roles.

I have downgraded back to 2.1.3 until I can find a way to solve these problems.

My original setup was based on WordPress 3.4.2 and BuddyPress 1.6.1
I added a BP Group Forum which we realized will not be sufficient and if anything just confusing to members. So I completely deleted the Forums page and added a new page called Group Discussions. I then went to BP settings and pointed forums option to use this page. No problem there.

Next, I installed bbPress 2.2 / activated / added couple of test forums / check the slug making sure that it worked by going to: http://ch.lifewithababy.com/forums and it did.
Next step was to add a new Forums page which I did. Right after http://ch.lifewithababy.com/forums became blank??? Why???

I then deleted the Forums page and http://ch.lifewithababy.com/forums worked again… hmmm…
At this point I am confused…

So I ended up adding the page and then adding a shortcode to show the forum and it works, kind of.
It works for public but if I login as a member (one of my test buddypress members) the page no longer available??? As a logged in member I get “We’re sorry, but we can’t find the page that you’re looking for. Perhaps searching will help.” which makes no sense at all.

Could someone please help? I have no idea what is causing this mysterious behaviour and how to resolve it.

Thanks.
