Hi Kevin,
I followed these steps, but was unable to fix the problem that way. However, I got around it by changing the bbPress Database Table prefix (in bb-config.php) from
$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;
to
$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_1’;
Problem solved! Hope that helps someone who has the same issue. Thanks, @chrishajer and @kevinjohngallagher.
Hi Kevin,
I’m currently logged out and it wont leave me log in again, hence the dire situation 
I’m using businesslike, but I have switched back to default to see if it makes any difference. It doesn’t(!)
Hi chrishajer,
When I try to login it takes me to the login page and says ‘that user does not exist.’ likewise, I don’t exist when I go through the ‘forgot password’ form.
It doesn’t leave me register a new user – the registration input page appears over and over, without leading to the registration success page.
@Rich Pedley, thanks for the tip. I had to move out the contained businesslike directory, delete my-template/businesslike. Then I replaced the contained businesslike and it worked.
Thanks @chrishajer for all your help. Much appreciated.

Yes, I’m not sure why businesslike is inside the businesslike directory or how I would fix this. In the new shot, you can see style.css is present there.
Hi. I’m new to bbpress, and I seem to be having the same problem. The theme folders in my-templates do not show up on the Appearance page of my bb-admin. I’ve tried the 755 fix to no avail. Only the two default themes show up
