Thanks for your help. I gave it an earnest go yesterday and I finally got it to work for me today. I too wanted to get this working as a child theme, but ran into this issue (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-error-the-active-theme-is-broken-reverting-to-the-default-theme) since I’m developing this on xampp. I ended up just putting it together, uploading it to the live server, and luckily, it wasn’t too far off.

I was hoping things would change with WordPress 3.3, but still no go. I’m working on a SSO plugin for Simple Machines, but ideally I’d like to get bbPress working.

I’m not sure what other steps to do to make it “active”. I just deactivated the plugin, deleted all options with %bbp% in the database, and reactivated the plugin. Before reactivating, I tried the above links and those brought me to 404 errors, but after reactivating the plugins, they came up again as they are now…just a title and no listing of forums under them. I had never tried the /users/admin/ before, but it’s still not working after doing the above steps…any other steps you’d recommend?

I’m having the same problem…I installed bbPress about two months ago and it worked right out of the box, then I got going on other things and just came back to work on it again and I can’t get the forums to display. If I go to the forum page, it has the title; but before, there was a listing of forums and I could navigate through to the topics. I’ve tried using the shortcodes and they work fine, but I’d like to get things working through the standard hierarchy (e.g. forums, topics, etc.).

I’ve cleared the cache, flushed the permalinks, and changed the name of all the slugs (they’re currently changed back to the default names), uninstalled, then reinstalled the plugin (but didn’t delete settings from the database). Also, I know I’ve updated the plugin at least once since first installing it.

Some sample pages:

http://powerofmoms.com/forums/ (should show listing of all forums, but just get blank page)

http://powerofmoms.com/forums/forum/general-discussion/ (should show topics for this particular forum. Shows description text, but no listing of topics)

I haven’t made any changes at all to the template yet…just wanting to get things working again. Any suggestions?
