How do I get Pretty Permalinks working?

1. Create a file called .htaccess in bbPress’ root directory. Put only the following line in that new file.
   Options +MultiViews
2. Go to the “General” settings in the admin area and choose a permalink type.
3. Try it out. If it doesn’t work, your web server does not support MultiViews. Instead, you’ll need to remove that line from your .htaccess file and replace it with the several lines bbPress generates for you when you browse to your bbPress installation’s /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php.

Do I need any plugins to integrate bbPress with WordPress?

No, see the “WordPress integration” section of the “Settings” area in the admin of your installation for more information.

Where do I put my plugins and custom templates?

Plugins should go in a directory called my-plugins/ and every theme you upload should go into a separate subdirectory with a directory called my-templates/. Both of these directories should be in bbPress’ root directory (that is, the directory with bbPress’ config.php file in it).
