Thanks!

So long as you do not have a page with the url 'forums' it should then work just fine.

Anyway, I'll remove the links. This is what my post said:

Hey there! I just installed the bbPress plugin on a site I have been assigned to at work. Unfortunately, nothing is showing up at the index for the forum:

[link]

But when I link directly to a category, you can view what's under that category:

Got any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

I want to run Buddypress with a forum and I as wondering if someone can clearly explain to me the following;

1. What is the difference between the build in buddypress forums and the bbpress plugin?

2. What is the best way to install it so that both plugins sync and work together properly? Is there a set order they should be installed in?

Many thanks

I recently activated Buddypress and now want to convert my existing Forums created using the SimplePress Plugin to the BuddyPress Forums and wanted to know if there was an easy way to do this.

Thanks for any suggestions…

Didn't find any resources in source, so I posted this thread. Any idea how this happened? I'm not using WP default theme, currently using the following plugins:
- Akismet
- Breadcrumb
- Formidable
- Gravity
- Gravity Forms with Addons
- s2Member
- and WP UI

Any known conflicts?

add_filter( 'bbp_show_lead_topic', '__return_true' );

And the topic will be separated from the replies.

For the sake of consistancy, I'd like to use the WP Socializer plugin to display Social Media buttons at the top of my forum Topics.

The plugin author said this:

"Please note that WP Socializer works in all pages or places where there the <?php the_content(); ?> function is called in the theme.

Simply make sure that the theme you use or the page of the custom post has the above function mentioned.

Instead, you can also use WP Socializer's template functions also.
Use <?php echo wp_socializer('template-1'); ?> anywhere in the template which is used by the custom post type."

Since I didn't find reference to <?php the_content(); ?>,I've tried inserting it into the default theme and the single-topic.php file however the buttons fail to load.

I'm presuming this is because bbPress actually isn't recognising the php code reference - would this be the case?

Any help would be appreciated.

I've watched the videos and read the topics, but I still can't figure it out.

So modifying DoctorWombats 6 steps to install I would modify it like this:

1. Plugins > Add New > BuddyPress 1.5 (or install manually by uploading files)
2. Activate BuddyPress
3. Run the Install Wizard BUT leaving the Forum Component unchecked.
4. Plugins > Add New > bbPress 2.0 (or install manually by uploading files)
5. Activate bbPress
6. Make sure Settings > Privacy > Site Visibility is set to "Allow search engines to index this site."
7. Create a forum, test topics, and test replies and see them appear in Activity Streams

I tested this using WordPress 3.3.1, BuddyPress 1.5.3.1 and bbPress 2.0.2 so no nightlies involved.

Thank you Zhen!

I have BuddPress installed and thought that the field manager there would integrate with bbPress but the values do not seem to be carried through.

Any advice?

Nothing here, nothing on wordpress.org

Is this plugin and support dead?

Also, the name of your file should be of the format bbpress-de_DE.mo not simply de_DE.mo

Finally, you should download the file from http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/ not from http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/
In order to download the file, click on the language you want, then scroll down to the bottom of the page, and hit Export.

I wish bbpress.org included all this in their documentation. The existing documentation has nothing to do with how bbPress work now...all documentation is really for the discontinued standalone version.
