Thank you for the reply. I did try resaving the permalinks via wordpress main settings and then under the bbpress settings (changing prefix from forum to allforums and then back again) but it didn’t work. Hmmmmmmmm This one has me stumped.
Before I answer, I have a bbPress forum site that create for some times and I don’t really make it public. So there is no other post than mine and team (and spam that i deleted already). I still manage others projects with other team.
1 – Are there any anti-spam measures on sign-up? (I just had to enter an email address to register here)
Yes, I use WangGuard and reCaptcha for bbPress 2.0
2 – Do you have to have wordpress already installed? (I was thinking of testing bbPress by itself first)
Yes, because bbPress is a plugin
3 – When you have wordpress installed, can it load in ‘latest posts from the forum’ in wordpress pages? Such as on category listing pages or actual blog posts.
Yes, sample:
Newest topics at http://themescommunity.com/newest-topics/
Newest post … no idea yet since I don’t need it for now.
4 – Is bbPress server efficient? vB has always been good on that front.
vB still the best choice if you want the best forum IMHO
5 – Is it easy to customise? The style I will want to port over is at http://www.gameslurp.com
Yes, but not the same. The feel maybe can be achieve by styles but not the features.
6 – Does bbPress track unread/new posts? So any new posts can be shown in bold on the forum listing page if they contain new posts since the last visit/page refresh?
Some modification needed, but no idea yet since I don’t even think about yet.
Hope satisfy your need, not much but that my little knowledge about bbPress that I can share. I believe others will answer more and detailed.
First latest bbPress don’t have custom theme, instead it (merge) using your WordPress theme. And off course you can edit how the way bbPress look by customize the styles of bbPress css but it will use your wp theme not your custom bbPress theme.
I believe bbPress theme that you download are for bbPress 1.x
I have visit your links and you did have the problem.
Can you resave permalinks for both bbPress forums and WordPress, and try again.
Hi, I’m thinking about converting a vBulletin forum over to bbPress and have a few questions I hope someone can help with.
1 – Are there any anti-spam measures on sign-up? (I just had to enter an email address to register here)
2 – Do you have to have wordpress already installed? (I was thinking of testing bbPress by itself first)
3 – When you have wordpress installed, can it load in ‘latest posts from the forum’ in wordpress pages? Such as on category listing pages or actual blog posts.

Think that’s it for now – any input from people who have converted a vB forum would be great appreciated too.
I am also very much concerned about this. I run a WordPress site with almost 1000 users that is integrated with standalone bbPress 1.0.2 forum and everything is working just fine, so if anything went wrong with the migration to bbPress 2.x it would be a disaster. Is there a guaranteed safe way to do this? Or, if something goes wrong, how to undo the changes?
Hello, I would like some feedback on a small issue I have been having where when the user submits their registration they are not notified that their form has been submitted successfully, rather the same page just reloads.
The data is submitted fine so the user gets an email. But I am not sure where to start with actually telling them that everything went right, or redirecting to a different page saying that their registration has been received and they should check their email.
I am using the latest version of wordpress and bbpress Plugin. The rest of the theme works fine, I am not using 2011, and have followed the instructions for turning my custom theme into a bbpress compatible theme. Just having this one issue now.
Thanks 
I’m a php developer who wants to use WordPress and bbPress to create a forum. Where can I get a complete documentation of bbPress ? Is there a book of bbPress ?
What I want is to personalize bbPress. For example, I want to show all posts, with a function to filter by user, area, etc… Is this possible ?
thank you.
I have already installed the bbPress on my wordpress. But I saw that the theme of my blog was not the appropriate forum and was very disorganized with the same (www.nosnagravata.com/forum/) and would like to know how to install a bbPress theme that I downloaded to my computer and put wordpress in it without messing with my blog theme (www.nosnagravata.com).
I merely wish to change the theme of the forum and not the entire blog (www.nosnagravata.com), as it has? Please if you could explain to me?
Bump!
If my question is not clear, please let me know.
I’m running the latest version of both WordPress and bbPress (3.3.1 & 2.0.2).
I have forum site that still under develop and not publicly announce yet and I already have some attacks.
I think it use ‘GD bbPress Attachments’ upload feature, and upload a php file. I believe that the plugins itself have great security feature that i will investigate later. But I have second layer security system using WordPress Firewall 2 that inform me as below via email. Here my latest attack

An now I will do some full server check up, hope it clean. Tell me what you think..
First you should disable all plugins manually using cpanel, just rename your ‘plugins’ folder into ‘plugins2’ then you should be able to enter the wp admin.
After browse to plugins page, you will see lots of errors because of no plugins located. Then rename your ‘plugins2’ from cpanel into ‘plugins’ again and try activate a plugin one by one to figure what the culprit.
First, forget any previous custom yet nice looking bbpress themes since it not usable anymore. It for bbPress 1.x
As Anoited said now bbPress (2.x) is using your own active WordPress theme and can merge with built-ed styles and layout of bbPress. You can find it at /plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten
You can try temporary switch your active theme to Twenty Ten to figure out what the forum will be. Then you can use your wp theme as your bbPress theme with some modifications.
Can you describe more…
Are you asking how to install WordPress or
How to integrate bbPress or
How to merge a bbpress theme into wp theme?
I am using bbPress as a WordPress plugin, and I found it doesn’t fit well on my Android phone or iPod screens. Well, forum menu is crashed and topic-creating forms looks weird and so on.
It would maybe a templates problem, I guess.
How do I fix this issue? Is there any WordPress plugins or themes that solve this?
Hello!
I downloaded the theme of bbPress for my PC. However, I do not know how I should proceed. Please could you tell me what I do to install the wordpress and can integrate it?
Thanks

Hadn’t thought about any of that actually. I suppose a person could choose what existing forum to put the posts in, make replies anonymous temporarily on bbpress when doing the conversion, so that you could post comments as replies without having to register anyone.
Mostly I think the most important thing to transfer over would be to have the topic itself.
Not sure how much a demand for this there would be though, I know I’m not the only one who is looking for a way to do this though. I’m hoping to use bbpress in such a way that it replaces the blogging function entirely, so hopefully i can figure this out.
I think there might be a way to do it actually. I thought I saw something once upon a time that converted wordpress posts into bbpress topics for the standalone version. I guess once you convert to the standalone you could then convert it yet again to the plugin version.
I’ll give it a shot and see what happens.
what theme are you using?
I really need help on fixing this!!!! On a due date to fixing the website, did not a plug could cause such fatal problem
Please help!!! Emergency!!! Thank!!!

i want to export/migrate bbpress stand alone database integrated with wordpress which i import into another wordprss database
Will there be possibility to add classes like in WordPress post_class().
I know that bbp_topic_class() is using post_class() via bbp_get_topic_class() already, but I would love to see simple solution to add custom classes to row of topic, something like bbp_topic_class(“my custom classes”) or with compatibility bbp_topic_class($topic_id, "my custom classes").
waiting for ‘John James Jacoby’.. please help us. This is a critical thing for me. and most people would need this at some point of time.
Are you using the new bbPress 2x?
If so, bbPress 2x does not use custom bbPress themes anymore. It uses your currently active WordPress theme.
can this convert wordpress posts into bbpress posts? Cause that would be a pretty sweet idea.
