an integrated dice roller would be great – any ideas how to port the buddypress group dice roller into bbpress forums? It’s not perfect, but it works.

For anyone having this problem in the future – the sub-forum issue was due to a plugin conflict.

I am trying to do the same. We are using both the buddypress group forums and sitewide bbpress (2.0).

Anyone successfully used this method with bbpress?

So I thought we had the 404 issue resolved, but not quite. Forum Directory showing (used short code on page) and links from there to primary forums works just fine. I have now discovered that child forums get 404 error. Updated permalinks, tried default theme, still no luck. Tried making the “parent” forum a category, no joy that way either.

Tried moving the bbp-twentyten template files into child theme (and adding theme support to functions.php) and everything went haywire.

One thought is to use pages with shortcodes for the child forums, but this site is going to have tons of child forums so that is not an appealing option and would not be user friendly for the client.

Any ideas?

Took a shot based on comments on this board and all now seems to be well.

I unchecked the forum prefix and set the forum and topic (single slugs) to forum and topic. Single topic is now displaying correctly and using the custom buddypress child theme.

If it makes any difference, this is a buddypress/bbpress plugin install. I have not moved any bbpress files into my child theme.

Thanks to everyone for all the good advice!

I’ve been developing WP for some time, but this is our first buddypress/bbpress project. Having the same problem described above.

WP 3.2.1

Buddypress 1.5

Created a “forums” page with shortcode which correctly shows the forum index. Clicking on a specific forum works as well, showing list of topics within that forum. The 404 comes when clicking on a specific topic. I’ve assigned the topic to the specific forum. The resulting url seems to be correct

mysite/forums/specificforum/topic title

I’ve also found that I have the “create new topic” form on the specific forum, when I submit the topic I get the page-not-found, but if I navigate back to the forum the new topic is indeed listed.

Any help is MUCH appreciated!
