Is this correct?

If so, where can I download 1.0.2?

I have tried upgrading from 0.9.0.4 to 1.1 (overwriting my files with those downloaded from http://bbpress.org/download/legacy/), but this just gave me a blank/white screen. Hence, I downgraded to 0.9.0.4 again...

It would be great with some hints and tips!

Then style it however you want.

Just don't touch 'the loop' itself and especially the <?php the_content(); ?> query. Essentially your forums are just wordpress pages of a special post type and they will need to be called with those elements in the template just like any other post / page.

You will have much more control over the look if you create a custom template page that sits in your theme folder, called, "forum.php".

This post helped me 2 weeks ago when I was tearing at my hair over this problem:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/understanding-templating

In that template, you can add bbpress' sidebar bits by grabbing the php from the bbpress templates and inserting them into your own.

Hope that helps - let me know how it goes...

Yes, I did create a forum

http://www.homeschoolagora.com/forums/

The forum page shows up, but it's treated like a blog page

http://www.homeschoolagora.com/forums/forum/homeschool-legal-requirements/

and puts the blog widgets in the sidebar instead of the bbPress login and forum-related widgets.

I didn't even have to create a Forums page in WordPress. The moment I installed bbPress, it created its own forums page, even though it did not appear in the navigation.

Actually, when I do create a forums page in wordpress, it sort of takes over the bbPress-created one and shows nothing on the page. Only when I delete, does the bbPress forums page come back.

That is why I'm not sure if I'm missing a step or two.

I just installed the bbPress plugin from within WordPress and activated it, then created a forum, and put a few bbpress widgets in the bbpress sidebar.

Nothing will show up till you do.

Sorry in advance if I am oversimplifying your problem. :-)

http://www.homeschoolagora.com/forums/
problems:
- The site considers the (only) forum there as a blog post (see breadcrumbs under the header banner
- thus it does not use the right sidebar widgets (as set up under the widgets admin page)
- there's no login field
- I had to add the forums page to the top navigation menu as a custom URL page. is that the way it's supposed to be?

Very confused. Am I missing something very obvious? Or is the setup more involved than just installing the bbPress plugin and activating it?

Thank you

I just did that, but to no avail. The forums page is blank.
This is my first time using bbPress with WordPress, so forgive the silly questions. is bbPress supposed to automatically show up on a page called "forums", like YourDomain.com/forums, without me doing anything besides installing the plugin and activating it? Or is there an extra step for me to take?
Thank you

To do this, just go to Setting->Permalinks. you dont need to do anything on the page - simply going to this page will do the job.

Secondly, after you do this, go to YourDomain.com/forums and see if they appear.

Hopefully step 3 is profit :)

When I go there, the page is empty? What am I missing? Do I need to add some code to the Forums page to get the bbpress forum to show up?

Or you can just have the researcher forums set as private...instead of installing 2 different instances....

I have had a request from a client, that they want 2 forums on the same domain, one for researchers and one for clients, is it possible to have 2 separate forums on the same domain just on different url's?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I downloaded as suggested, added to plugins dir, activated, created a forum in the wp-admin area, then added that forum to the menu. Sadly, when I click the link all I see if the title of the forum and nothing else?

Anyone help me configure the pages/forum so i can see topics - either admin added or a create button?

In Settings -> Forums, I've set it to be public all the way.

Kind Regards
Chris.

Most shortcodes do not have capability checks attached to them, and since bbPress comes with its own shortcodes, we don't want shortcodes inside shortcodes.

Maybe in a future version.
