You should be able to get access just by creating a new account. This is not a one-time thing I’m actually going to keep this as a feature as long as I can. a kind of Digital Sandbox.
Basically I changed a url when I shouldn’t have. It’s fairly clear cut.

I installed WordPress, and then BuddyPress. As far as I know, BuddyPress comes with bbPress 2.0.2.
In BuddyPress’ components, the “Discussion Forums” component is NOT ticked, it’s off.
Instead, I have a bbPress 2.0.2 plugin on the wordpress’ list of plugins. I unfortunately don’t remember if I installed the plugin, or it got installed as I installed BuddyPress.
My question is, can I install bbpress plugins on this type of setup? I’m looking to get for example youtube embedding etc. going on them as well as the b or img or other shortcodes.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hey everyone, I’m having a bit of trouble with my query. I’m display forum posts on the home page of my wordpress site so they kind of look a bit like a blog post. What I’m having a hard time figuring out is, how can I exclude spam, hidden, and closed topics from veiw on that page.
Basically, I only want to show open topics on the home page, the part o the code in question is…
$bbp_loop_args = array(
'post_type' => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'post__not_in' => bbp_get_super_stickies(),
'posts_per_page' => 10,
);
if ( bbp_has_topics( $bbp_loop_args ) ) :
if ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();
global $more;
$more = 0;
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
echo '<ol class="other-recent-posts">';
endif;
endif;I’m able to exclude super-stickies easily enough, but excluding hidden, spam, and closed topics is eluding me.
Anyone out there have any Ideas?
I had noticed awhile back that logging into the admin side of my WPMS site was real slow. Today I had time to spend turning plugins on and off. After disabling bbpress I was back to normal. Any other reports of slow loading? Is this being addressed?
Thanks!
Hi, I’m thinking about converting a vBulletin forum over to bbPress and have a few questions I hope someone can help with.
1 – Are there any anti-spam measures on sign-up? (I just had to enter an email address to register here)
2 – Do you have to have wordpress already installed? (I was thinking of testing bbPress by itself first)
3 – When you have wordpress installed, can it load in ‘latest posts from the forum’ in wordpress pages? Such as on category listing pages or actual blog posts.
4 – Is bbPress server efficient? vB has always been good on that front.
5 – Is it easy to customise? The style I will want to port over is at www.gameslurp.com
6 – Does bbPress track unread/new posts? So any new posts can be shown in bold on the forum listing page if they contain new posts since the last visit/page refresh?
Think that’s it for now – any input from people who have converted a vB forum would be great appreciated too.
Hello, I would like some feedback on a small issue I have been having where when the user submits their registration they are not notified that their form has been submitted successfully, rather the same page just reloads.
The data is submitted fine so the user gets an email. But I am not sure where to start with actually telling them that everything went right, or redirecting to a different page saying that their registration has been received and they should check their email.
I am using the latest version of wordpress and bbpress Plugin. The rest of the theme works fine, I am not using 2011, and have followed the instructions for turning my custom theme into a bbpress compatible theme. Just having this one issue now.
Thanks 
Hello all, I just had a quick question that has me stumped. I have a new site (so no other plugins to mess things up) and while the forum will show up the main forum page won’t work. I tried shortcodes and more but for whatever reason the main forums page won’t work.
The individual forum will show up at
http://happyimprov.com/forums/forum/improv-exercises/
but when I want to display the index at
http://happyimprov.com/forums/
it won’t display.
Help please.
What I want to do is have a few forums with different visibility and use functions. The problem is that every way I have found how to do this thus far requires me editing the user’s role, which is not what I want to do. This will quickly become too bloated for me. I would rather use some other kind of meta information.
The main reason is because I will something akin to the following:
-Most of the forums (100% visible to all members and public; only members may post)
-Special Forum (100% visible to all members and public; only SOME members may post)
-Restricted Completely Forum (0% visible to public and general members; SOME members may see and post)
It is important to mention that the members who can see the restricted areas are not necessarily admins or moderators. Also we use WP for all kinds of things aside from just bbPress and I heavily use User Role Editor already. I have, for example, two users who have a special role that allows them to edit items in the store. One of these users will eventually have access to the restricted forum; the other will not and will have no idea it exists. Neither of these users are moderators or admins on the fourm. You can see how at this point relying on user roles to accomplish this task is unrealistic.
What I wouldn’t mind doing is some kind of meta way of doing this. I have a few ideas but I wanted to ask if anybody else has done this or knows of a way to potentially do this before I start mucking around and potentially breaking things.
Thank you!
I’m a php developer who wants to use WordPress and bbPress to create a forum. Where can I get a complete documentation of bbPress ? Is there a book of bbPress ?
What I want is to personalize bbPress. For example, I want to show all posts, with a function to filter by user, area, etc… Is this possible ?
thank you.
