@VanDuch – At the moment, admins and super admins can view private and hidden forums, and those capabilities can be modified real time by other plugins to adjust who can see what. There’s a high probability that dropdown will be disabled/hidden when 2.0 launches, since there’s no real use for it in core. I knew going in that bbPress would need to support forum visibilities for BuddyPress public and private groups, but without an interface for choosing who can access them (BP groups), it’s somewhat pointless.

You’ll want to create a new page, and use the
[bbp-topic-form]
shortcode.

Works for me. Can anyone else confirm this?

That would be nice, and I’ll most likely research something similar to this after 2.0. The problem is there is no way to add an additional theme path check on top of the parent theme and the child theme locations. Even then, that doesn’t make the single-, archive-, and page- templates match the HTML structure of your current theme, which means manually editing them anyways.
As annoying as it is to add theme support for bbPress and not have the files there, that’s also the easiest way to communicate ability between theme and plugin. If you add theme support for post thumbnails, and then don’t use post thumbnails in your theme, you just don’t have post thumbnails.

What version of bbPress are you using?

Check out the Theme Compatibility sticky topic, and confirm that you’ve followed all the steps correctly.

Sorry; I don’t understand the question. bbPress won’t move any files for you on its own. You mentioned that you’ve physically moved files (hopefully you copied, and did not remove them from the bbPress folder.) By putting
add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );
in your theme, you’re telling bbPress “I don’t need your help anymore and I have everything under control.” If you didn’t copy all of the files correctly, then bbPress won’t know what to do.

Since you’re manually adding theme support to your existing theme (as opposed to letting bbPress do it for you) you’ll need to move the other single/archive/page template files from bbp-twentyten into your existing theme too.

Are you already using deep integration of some kind? I imagine we should wrap things in _exists checks just incase, and bypass the bb-config.php check if so.

Neat. I definitely like the bbPress forums better.

You could just as easily put some code in the sidebar.php of your theme to show/hide whenever you want it to. Contextual sidebars are an oft requested WordPress core feature too.

@jarledb – Eventually bbPress will be on GlotPress, which will enable easier crowd sourcing of translations.
Will look into getting into GlotPress soon.
