This is bbpress.org for bbPress, for BuddyPress head on over to http://buddypress.org/ where you can read about BuddyPress features.
Also have a read of the BuddyPress forums http://buddypress.org/support/ where no doubt many others have asked the same questions you are asking and if you have further questions you can post on the forums there.
> Can topic tags be created without a topic creation or reply or reply
> edit?
No, I dont believe so. Try going to /forums/topic-tag/whatevertag/edit/ on yoir site whilst logged out and check what an anonymous user can perform on that ‘whatevertag’
> Can topic tags be turned off for anonymous users? (I don’t believe so,
> but would love to know otherwise)
You are correct ‘Topic Tags’ can only be enabled/disabled site wide and not for specific user roles.
> Which files do I have to edit to only allow editing of topic tags by
> registered users and/or admins?
I’m not sure on the finer points of this though for a start have a look at this ticket http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1806 and the changesets 4098 & 4099. This ticket was for the changes to enable/disable ‘Topic Tags’ sitewide so hopefully that can give some more pointers on where and what to look for.
bbPress 2.x will not email the admin by default whenever a post is made and I dont think this is possible without a plugin (I dont know of a plugin that does this either for bbPress 2.x)
Check your date and time settings for WordPress at /wp-admin/options-general.php as bbPress inherits its settings from that WordPress setting.
It actually was already in the Codex here: http://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/
It had the incorrect details though, I have just put a quick update up now.
Thanks for that… I couldn’t find it 
Did you end up creating this ticket at trac?
If not (as I cant find it) could you repost your fix here or pastebin etc and I’ll submit it as a patch.
The only thing I can think of to offer at the moment would be this ticket in trac “Enable WordPress custom fields” as http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1743. If a patch/plugin was made to support this then that might be enough for MemberMouse to hook into…
Nice to see your ‘ Posts-to-bbPress’ plugin at GitHub
https://github.com/nosecreek/Posts-to-bbPress
Have you looked at these two docs to help get you started?
http://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ and http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
(The thread that you linked to above is out of date as it is only relevenet to the old stand alone bbPress and not the current plugin bbPress 2.x )
Thanks, it would be great to get your translations added to http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin
Go to http://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/ and
login with your WordPress/bbPress username (the same one you used to login here at bbpress.org) and ask this same question you posted above and someone should be able to outline how how and where to upload your translations.
As per your thread on Stack Exchange that would be the route I would have a look into (i.e. Making a custom script)
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/70350/is-there-a-way-to-import-blogger-into-bbpress
Also take a look at the ‘example’ file included with bbPress as an importer ‘reference template’.
You may be able to modify this enough to get your Blogger Posts/Comments into bbPress Topics/Replies
The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters
Let us know how it works out for you.
bbPress 2.1 includes a conversion tool to import forums/topics/replies/users from some of the popular forum packages eg. bbPress or phpBB
There is an ‘example’ file also included as a ‘reference template’ that if your forum software is using a SQL database then you could easily modify this to be a custom importer by matching the correct database tables/fields etc
The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters
Follow the steps outlined here http://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ for the files you want to customize by copying them to your theme directory.
Add the code here to your themes functions.php file
https://gist.github.com/3815686
Currently this layout style isn’t available with bbPress ‘out of the box’
Please see this thread for any updates http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hierarchical-forum-and-category-layout/
The default ‘separator’ for the forum list is a comma (that comma you see on your site).
I see you have tweaked your forum list yourself so that each forum is on a new line.
I can’t see how you did this at the moment as I am using my phone and no CSS inspector.
Take a look at this https://gist.github.com/3797945 and add it to your functions.php of your theme or add it as a standalone plugin. Instead of a ‘comma’ I have a BR element there which if you removed the tweaks you have already made in your CSS for the forum list, this code snippet will give you the result you are looking for.
Thanks for this, sadly the code you have posted has been stripped in your post.
Could you try posting it again and/or post the code to pastebin.com, a Gist on GitHub
Better still you could create a ticket over at Trac and submit your patch directly for us.
http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
Please see this thread regarding the code used here on bbPress.org
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/what-theme-does-this-site-use/
@Zaerl I would also suggest having a look at @mordauk (Pippin’s) code at GitHub and contributing and or extending the functionality of this existing plugin. The code is on GitHub here https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbp-mark-as-read
You can just delete the user and assign all those topics & replies to another user.
eg. If your vBulletin username was ‘Anointed’ and that username is the same username you setup for WordPress during the import, bbPress would have created a username ‘Imported_Anointed’ to avoid duplicates etc.
Go to the WordPress Admin -> Users and find the username ‘Imported_Anointed’ and click ‘delete’, the next screen will show you a copuple of options to either delete the user and all posts OR to ‘Attribute all posts and links to’ another username, simply select your ‘Anointed’ username from the dropdown list and all topics and replies will now be merged with your primary WordPress username ‘Anointed’
The bbPress Plugin v2.x uses the same database as WordPress.
Run the ‘Import Forums’ tool as outlined here:
