The bbpress.css loading twice issue has been resolved!
I saw that today, which was neat. I downloaded a new SVN copy and it is working great.
Fixed for me! Thanks for the update!
I’m testing 2.1 from SVN and it is working well. I had to fight with the templates and my theme to get it to display properly, but that was an issue with the theme, and not bbPress.
The only “bug” I’ve encountered so far was that wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/css/bbpress.css was loading even if I had a bbpress compatible theme with everything in my child theme and I was loading css/bbpress.css from my theme. So I was loading bbpress css twice.
I put: add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); into my functions.php and that stopped. And then I removed the call to css/bbpress.css and instead just integrated into into my style.css which I prefer. When possible I like to combine the css files and reduce http get requests.
I disabled every plugin that ties into the admin bar other than Buddypress and I still had the issue. I can try disabling that as well. I’ll do some testing today and see if I can determine if it is a plugin conflict.

Someone else is reporting the same behavior with bbPress 2.0 and WP 3.4. I’m running an unreleased version of bbPress 2.1 I grabbed from SVN. It is possible the behavior is fixed with the SVN version.
You can uninstall bbPress by deleting the folder from wp-content/plugins to resolve the issue, or you can try the new version of bbPress from SVN. It isn’t a production release, so it may have bugs, but then again so does the version you’re running apparently.

The problem may be with plugins that tie into the admin bar.
bbPress 2.0 no longer uses bb-config.php.
bbPress 2.0 has limited integration with Buddypress out of the box. bbPress 2.1 and BuddyPress 1.6 (both upcoming) have better integration.
Install Buddypress first, but don’t turn on the Forums component. Then install bbPress 2.x and it should see your Buddypress install.
I’m using them both together successfully. In fact, I’m using WP 3.4 and the SVN version of bbPress 2.1.
There are a variety of reasons why a particular request might take 30+ seconds. It could be updating DB tables or making one-time changes to the site.
Do you have access to server logs through your hosting company?
I had the same issue, but disabling GD bbPress Tools resolved the issue for me.
The layout issue appears to be with the theme. It is adding 275px of padding for the sidebar twice on the forum template pages. Even if I replace page.php in my child theme with a no sidebar template, it is still happening. I think that is a CSS issue I’ll have to fix myself.
However, wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/css/bbpress.css loading in addition to the bbpress.css in my theme appears to be a bug as far as I can tell. I’ll file a ticket in Trac.
I’ve copied the contents of wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten into my Suffusion child theme which resides at wp-content/themes/bsig
It is still however pulling the bbpress.css from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/css
It also doesn’t appear to be using my customized templates. I’ve tried most every step I can find online to try and resolve this, but it hasn’t worked so far.
http://blindscribblings.com/forum – The forums are squished to the right and my sidebar on the bottom and empty space to the right.
If I use a shortcode then the index looks fine, but the sub-forums and threads have the same problem. Here is an example with a shortcode.

Thanks. When I have some free cash, I may end up picking up the pro version later then.
I literally grabbed a nightly build of WordPress yesterday, so it is possible something changed. I was also using bbPress 2.1 from SVN yesterday and the only other bbPress plugin I was using was your Attachments plugin. I’ll check again in a week or so.
I’m trying to get bbpress 2.1 to play nice with Suffusion myself. The above suggestions haven’t worked for me.

What do the template files look like in your child theme?
What change did you make in your .css to get the forum to display full width?
What is the difference between this and the free plugin? The feature list looks about the same.
I tried installing this on a test server with WP 3.4 and bbPress 2.1 (both from SVN) and it broke the ability to add or edit posts or pages.
I apologize. This appears to be an issue with the “GD bbPress Tools” plugin. I disabled that plugin and the problem went away.
I’ve run into this a few times myself with bbPress 2.0. Sadly I didn’t find the root cause and a proper fix, but I did find a workaround. I change the root slug of the forums to Discussion and then I uncheck “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)”
So my Movies forum is:
http://site.com/forum/Movies and that works. Then I used “Page Links to” and create a menu entry for Forums that links to http://site.com/Discussion as the root of the forums.
I was running trunk before the 1.5 release, so that may have changed. It wasn’t on by default for me.
I agree that http://www.onemorething.nl/community/forum has a fantastic layout. If someone figures out how to mimic that, I’d love to see a copy of that template.
An important step is that in the Buddypress components you need to turn on this option:
Site Tracking: Make BuddyPress aware of new posts and new comments from your site.
That is why I cited it. That particular plugin obviously isn’t designed for, nor will work for bbPress 2.0. The link that was posted above returns 67 plugins. 4 of the first 8 results are from 2010 or earlier.
I was looking through 20 of those plugins the other day, and only one specified it worked with bbPress 2.0. That is why I posed the question. You answered that the WordPress plugin repository shouldn’t have any older bbPress plugins, but it does have plenty of old and incompatible plugins, hence the need to try and ascertain which actually are designed to work for bbPress 2.0.
Out of the 67 plugins that come up, some go back to 2009, such as this one.
So I’m not sure it is safe to assume they all are designed for bbPress 2.0.

Since many of the plugins don’t specify, and there isn’t a list here, I guess I’m going to have to go with trial and error.
