I would immediately suggest that you make sure you are logged in with the key-master and not just a moderator. Another thing, make sure you got to overwrite all the files on the upload of 0.8. If you are an admin or key-master, the presentation admin panel will be there for sure. That and site options.

So let me get this straight:
1) You have a blog directory on your server at the location – /var/www/html/blog/
2) You uploaded bbPress to that directory – /var/www/html/blog/bbpress/
3) You brought down a copy of config.php and filled out your server database information (which requires you to have a database already created)
4) If you upload the config.php with the correct database information and all the correct URL’s for your blog (go step by step through config.php with a fine toothed comb!) back to /var/www/html/blog/bbpress/ you will be able to get to the install next
5) Go to http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php (in our example) and you should get the install screen.

Welcome to bbPress! The first place I would start would be to look over the bbPress documentation because that has the information needed for installation, customization, integration with wordpress and all about themes!
After you get going, if you have questions along the way, do a search in the forums for similar problems that you are having and if you can’t figure out what to do, then go ahead a post a question back in the forums and we can try and help you out!
Trent
Check your profile (edit it) and make sure it is not listing you as a bozo. If it is, remove it. If that is not the case, report back.
Trent
I would imagine that you could do this without affecting any core files through a plugin as the links portion for posts is pluggable. Now, saying that, we need someone with some experience working with the code to make this a plugin.
Trent
That is nice to know. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Trent
I don’t know anyone that has successfully done it (at least I can’t remember a post or anyone bragging about it), but I created a TRAC ticket for a future version on this issue:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/579
You might be able to play with rewrite-rules.php in the /bb-admin/ folder to get some direction on what to change in the meantime to play with it, but I don’t believe it is pluggable (for a plugin).
Trent
Currently, you only have 1 topic for each of those tags. Therefore, the system is weighing them all the same and that is why they are all the same size. Once you have more tags and more than 1 topic in each tag, it will change size for you. It might even take 3 or 4 topics (or more) in a tag before you really notice the difference.
Trent
I guess I don’t really have any ideas off the top of me head here. I guess it is hard to conceptially figure out why it is important to run the wp header in bbPress. Why not duplicate the wp header information in header.php in your bbPress theme (in bbPress format) and then each one automatically calls the content and stylesheet needed for its own content?
Even all the errors that you are recieving with the logged in parts would be gone if you used each header independant of each other. The systems knows the user logged in for both sites through the use of cookies and has nothing to do with the actual system calls.
The only importance would be in you plan on having wp content in bbPress side or vice-versa. But, if the content is only based on each side, the system does this by default.
Does that make any sense? I am really trying to really understand what you need to do a bit better so the solution will just ‘jump out at us!’
Trent
Let me understand this. The blank screenshot issue is because you have to take a screenshot of your template and add it to your theme folder. Double check the name of the default theme, but I think it works if you create a screenshot and call it screenshot.png.
As for the by and name of the template, that is derived from the information at the top of your style.css. If you edit file in your theme directory, it will show up. If you don’t have a style.css in your theme and are using the default theme’s style.css, download it as is, change the information at the top and upload it to your theme directory.
I think that is all the troubles you are having at first glance.
Trent
Agreed. Once the templates really start flowing, we can get our own theme switcher or maybe we can throw something up on Pro Forums for it. Either way, it will take a little time.
Trent
The support forum functions were removed with 0.8 and so10 placed these functions into a plugin. I am sure there is only a few small changes that will not take very long.
Trent
That is a good question. I have yet to test it on the most recent version of bbPress. I guess if nothing else you can run it on an install of 0.74 and get it working and then upgrade bbPress to 0.8 afterwards if nothing else. What were the errors?
Trent
Save this file as patch-to-URL.php and upload to /my-plugins/ directory:
<?php
function fix_bb_path_to_url( $url ) {
return preg_replace( '|
([^/])|', '/$1', $url );
}
add_filter( 'bb_path_to_url', 'fix_bb_path_to_url', 1, -1 );
?>
Trent
I am wondering if this is an error in TRAC. Seems to be related this this ticket that has a patch and plugin to fix it:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/575
Trent
Good work tracking that down!

What really is strange for me is safari on Mac OS X shows the page correctly anyways. What a smart browser.
Why that link is like that and the rest of the content is showing up right is strange though.
Trent
Maybe clear your browser cache because I can see the default theme on your forums perfectly.
Trent
I would agree. Not really a tasteful joke, but it seems like it really was a joke. I can’t see one thing in that code that would send any information that it gets to anyone but the database you are connecting to or the file that you can have it create. I could be missing something and would appreciate it if others would also check this, but I don’t think there is anything wrong here.
Trent
I have checked it over and don’t see anything. Check out my other thread.

I have looked over the code of this plugin and it doesn’t send your email to spammers. Jaim3 even put this in the code:
// DISCLAIMER: This is a joke
echo "<li><h3>Sending all your database e-mails to all major world-wide spam sending mafias...</h3></li>";
If someone else wants to look to confirm, but it does what it is intended to as far as I am concerned.
Trent
That path works as well, but /my-templates/your-theme/ is recommended. If nothing else, to make upgrades easier as you just drag the entire contents of the upgrade download to your server without fear of overwriting a theme that you have in bb-templates (which could easily happen if not careful). This could not happen if it is in /my-templates/
Trent
What kind of content are you trying to distinguish between? Theme content or actual content? With wordpress being a blog and bbPress a forum, the content itself would be different. I guess I don’t quite understand exactly what you are trying to do. Could you explain to me like I am 5 years old (my wife says I act that old anyways
