i’ve tried that! Both of the solutions, but i still can’t use my own template!
I can’t see the thumbnail of either my template or kakumeis.
EDIT: I saw what maybe could be the problem. It uses doubleslashes to the link to both Kakumei and my template. Maybe it’s because of that i have my problem? Maybe this could help someone to help me too. (?)

I just upgrade my bbpress to 0.8. Here is what I did
1. I download the new version and copied to my server to replace all the old files.
2. Then I copied my old directories: my-plugins and my-templates, and I follow the instruction and move all previous my templates files to a subdirectory called mybbpress under my-templates.
3. But my forum is using the default bbpress theme
http://www.travelsuperlink.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css
4. and I login to my admin panel, only find Dashboard, Users, Content, cannot find any Presentation Admin panel.
Anybody could help? many thanks.

Hey. I was having the problem where new registrations to BB was giving the users administrator privileges (bu the default was set to subscriber) — and In the WP userlist, the new bb users were sort of ominously listed below the users who registered through WP.
I saw this mentioned a few times here (sorry for not just adding this in reply to one of those posts, I couldn’t find them)…
Anyways – I realized I have the Role Manager plugin installed in WP.. I de-activated it, and now new users get assigned the proper default WP role.
Cheers.
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!’

We all know that the AutoMattic guys use their own stuff, but after each site has been skinned with all their CSS magic, sometimes it’s hard to see… I thought we should savour the moment the wordpress.org forums ran with the default bbpress theme 
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.

So, let me add a new wrinkle – I’ve just installed Desmond, and the default theme works just fine. I’ve tried uploading a couple of other themes to the my-templates directory but all I’m getting are blank screenshots next to the word by in the Presentation menu. Heck, I’ve even applied the plugin solution that Trent supplied, still without any success. Any ideas on why these templates aren’t showing up?
Hello, I’ve upgraded to Desmond now, yay 
But i can’t get my theme to work, i’m getting the message “Theme not found. Default theme applied.” when i try to change theme to both my own and kakumei!
I’m trying on my localhost and made a new fresh install into another directory, but i still can’t get it work :S
On a related note, if you cannot use even the default theme and no thumbnails appear in your Presentation admin panel, try looking at this topic:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/700
Maybe clear your browser cache because I can see the default theme on your forums perfectly.
Trent
I upgraded to Desmond and I am trying to use the default them (Kakumei) and the theme is not being applied. The theme thumbnail file does not display in the admin panel eitehr.

Thanks for the reply Trent.. 
Yeah, you have a good point there! I guess I was just tired of too many dang folders in the forum’s root directory lol.. 
Oh well.. when I do the actual upgrading here, I’ll re-add that folder and such..

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
I’m assuming this path works just as good right?
/root directory/bb-templates/your-theme/
That’s what I am doing at the present time, w/o the latest upgrade though of course.. I’ll get on updating it here soon.. just wanted to wait until ALL the dang commits were really over lmao..
spencerp
It’s the default theme… all righty mdawaffe is here… thanks… I’ll update this and let you guys know…
Will the bbPress-WP Integration be working?
What is your theme name….we can fix this in a hurry for you! Is it the default theme now?
Trent
Yes, this worked great for me. I thank you all!
* edit *
i wasn’t logged in as the keymaster admin. so nevermind.
amazing!
Thank you!!!
Or maybe you see “Theme not found. Default theme applied.” in the Presentation Admin panel.
Your custom templates must go into a subdirectory of
my-templates/. Like
my-templates/my-hot-theme/
This is new in bbPress 0.8.
http://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/
Please don’t put anything in bb-templates! This will be problematic for you later.
Put your templates in a subdirectory of my-templates/
Check out https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/
Awesome…didn’t know this was an upgrade for this version. But I love it…
I didn’t know you could drop the folder into my-templates as well. Interesting…that might be a better solution! Thanks for the 411. Does it need to be a complete folder then or just changed files? I didn’t even bother testing that out! ?
Trent
the theme system in the 0.8 version is a little different from the 0.75 version. this is an upgrade.
put the theme files in a folder and drop that folder in the bb-templates or my-templates directory.
With 0.8, we still use the my-templates and my-plugins directories. What you need to do is create a directory for your theme that you have and put it in the my-templates directory:
/root directory/my-templates/your-theme/
Then, what I did was copy all the files from the default theme into my directory folder that I hadn’t changed to make a complete template folder. For example, if you changed only style.css, header.php, front-page.php and footer.php, then copy the rest of the files from the default template into that folder as well.
Once you have all those files in your theme directory, go to the admin => presentation => and pick your theme! It works pretty slick. You may want to take a snapshot of your theme and upload it so that the admin area knows which one it is! Uploading a snapshot with the name screenshot.png should do the trick!

EDITED NOT TO START CONFUSION!
