Remapping users does not do jack to the Adm menu problem, not for me. I even disabled ALL plug ins that were mounted before bbPress. Still no forum menu (used to have it), no direct way to get to topics from there, it’s a mess I call it. I’m beginning to think that bbPress is the problem plug in, not the other way around.

I’ll say it again, developers have dropped a ball on this bbpress thing, I liked the idea, but turns out the implementation is lacking in more than one area. And the requirement to manual tweak the theme/template to get it to look ok isn’t up there either (I mean basic looks, not fancy fireworks).

I am experiencing the same problem, no Forum menu in adm WD-panel, in addition to:

1. logged in as keymaster, unable to post topics/replies (but sometimes I can), can write but on save get an error

2. get logged out for no apparent reason

And the fix is: DISABLE ALL your plug ins and try. People responsible for this plug in have shown an irresponsible way to deal with problems at hand. Soon enough we’ll hear: if you want bbPress, stop using other plug ins.

Here comes a hugely disappointed bbPress user of just a few hours. I was so excited to have found a bb seemingly meant to integrate well with WP. What a pain this thing is. The only easy part is to get the plug in and see it in the back end, after that it is mostly an illogical disaster, from the basics (like trying to figure out how to see the forum), to making it work with a theme, to tweaking a theme, to trying to make some sense of bb structure etc. I think the developers have taken a completely wrong route to make things work, with too much of WP back-end reuse without giving it a second thought of how it was going to be implemented, and then used by the followers. I am yet to find ONE board that looks half as good as majority of other free bb software out there. It is sad, that a team responsible for WP development would drop a ball to this degree.

My excitement lasted just a few hours, I even started participating in the translation routine, but unfortunately I don’t see how it is worth it.
