Yep JJJ, bbPlugin is very good but I’ve still have no skill in using it. Other way our people like the StandAlone more than the bbPlugin. For now I want learn more about the SA 
This BackPress question is that I want know it and you can better answer me, is that possible to get some function from WordPress after integrating? BackPress will be used here?
If you plan on integrating bbPress with WordPress, you’ll have much better luck using 2.0. While its very possible to do in 1.0/1.1, you’re going to have a hard time finding anyone to help you with how.
Are you able to see your forums in wp-admin? If so, is your bbPress 1.0 install in a subfolder of your WordPress install?
Any progress on this?
Here is a screen shot of the dashboard showing the issue.
my timezone is “Pacific” and that is set in the wordpress settings.
system clock says 12:21,
post time stamp is 12:06 and
the freshness say 7 hours ago.

The forums are going live next week and I am in the process of removing the “Freshness” code from the public views.

We can add vanilla forums to the list.
As to url’s, no, the converter has nothing to do with url’s. It simply gets your data into the format that WordPress expects to see. Now because it is WordPress, you are able to write your own custom permalink redirects in order to match your old system. Of course a lot is going to depend upon what your old system was like. If the old forums had pretty permalinks, then it is much easier to match with custom rules.
I know that it’s a bit different than topic subject, but just in case if you want merely get iNove sidebar smaller you can do the same what is described here – http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/2010/12/get-the-smaller-sidebar-of-inove-theme/.
Or you can download appropriate modified files from here – http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/projects/modified-inove-theme/
Thank you!
Hello!
In my blog (http://dotnetfollower.com) I didn’t remove sidebar, but I reduced the width of it. It’s described it in my article – http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/2010/12/get-the-smaller-sidebar-of-inove-theme/. Or you can download appropriate modified files from here – http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/projects/modified-inove-theme/.
Thanks!

Hmmm… If I’m using the regular wordpress registration at http://www.InsertSiteNameHere.com/wp-login.php?action=register, will the registrants be able to use the bbPress forums on that site?
This is a part where bbPress is lacking INFO. (I think)
They are still writing up a manual because most people don’t understand how to make Child Themes or just a custom bbPress theme.
Read this topic:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility
Your biggest problem is your functions.php file nobody understands what to do with it.
Because the manual how to install and make your own theme tells us to copy-/paste all files including the <bbPress> files from your plugin section inside your WordPress theme folder but in that write up they forgot about when you do so, you have to duplicate or overwrite the functions.php file. Because your WordPress theme also has a functions.php same as the bbPress plugin.
We are still hoping somebody would make a nice Blog Post about how to install bbPress and how to do it correct on a Child Theme setup.
Mine is working now (as explained in linked topic ), but i have no idea if i did it correct.
Thanks dude about answer and the address. I read them but I’ve question now, if we integrate our bbPress with WordPress can we use some functions from WP?
I mean if we do integrate after that in theme designin’ can we use a function like this? <?php get_wp_header(); ?> (It’s jus’ a example, Im not sure about the code!)

BackPress is a PHP library of core functionality for web applications. It grew out of the immensely popular WordPress project, and is also the core of the bbPress and GlotPress sister-projects.
Perhaps I am looking at this the wrong way. In DNN & SharePoint there are Modules/Web Parts that are added to the page creating basically a mashup.
Being a “from scratch” WP newbie I am guessing that the same basic philosophy works for WP.
With that said, I do not see an option to add the forum module to a new page (ironically named “Forums”)
I anxiously await your replies…
PS… Please excuse the mess. I am still putting things together…
Greetings WordPress/bbPress people!
I have finally abandoned DotNetNuke in favor of WordPress. I have to say I am quite pleased with the simplicity with which I was able to set it up.
After looking around for what the Interwebs conclude is the best WP forum I selected this one.
After a ridiculously easy install I got bbPress up and running as well.
NOW… If I can only figure out how to add a forum to a page I would be on my way. I am sure this is an easy thing to do once you know how to do it…
Incidentally, my WP install is located at http://politicule.com/wp while my forums are at http://politicule.com/wp/?forum=politicule-community-forums-2&preview=true&preview_id=23&preview_nonce=86034f336b
I appreciate your assistance in advance!
I’m in the same boat as 3sixty. This is what I did on a fresh install of WordPress 3.2.1
1. Plugins > Add New > BuddyPress 1.5
2. Activated BuddyPress
3. Run the Install Wizard BUT leaving the Forum Component unchecked.
4. Plugins > Add New > bbPress 2.0
5. Activated bbPress
6. Made a forum, test topics, and test replies
No dice on the activity feed.
Second time around on a second fresh install, I ran the Install Wizard and this time checked the Forum Component. When I try to install Sitewide forums, it just sends me to the Plugin repository and prompts me to download and install bbPress 2.0 (which I do). After which I am stuck again.
Group discussions seem to be working fine, but that’s not what I’m looking for.
Thanks a lot in advance for all your help.
umm…, no! bbPlugin by default using a subdirectory of WordPress but by some skills on creating a pro theme for your blog that give the forums pages, and left the permalink of the forum root (called Forums) blank you can get what you want (it’s jus’ a advice, I’m not sure!)
Hi all.
Can bbpress be constructed to be visible as the main site where the WordPress site is installed? i.e. http://domain.com is the main WP site and http://domain.com/bbpress is the wordpress site.
What I am looking for is creating http://domain.com the main bbpress site, skipping the WP blog.
Advise is appreciated.
Thanks.
Dude you mean bbPlugin or bbPress (StandAlone vr.)?
For the StandAlone one you must put your language files into my-languages and for bbPlugin put them into WordPress language directory with name like bbpress-fa_IR.po or .mo. themes and plugins have a directory for translations, if have not code a textdomain for it
Hi there,
I’m really not techo at all and am trying to utilise BBpress on my weaver wordpress themed site. I’ve copied the files over as instructed but I’m completely lost with the info re the child theme. Can you give me instructions on what to do here in a fair bit of detail? Do I make changes under the weaver admin section or do I need to be in my file manager and what exactly do I put where. Thanks heaps
We’re using WordPress 3.2.1, BuddyPress 1.5, and bbPress 2.0 and seem to have run across an issue with the forum home permalink not being correctly set, or so it seems. Perhaps I’m missing something . Any help is greatly appreciated!
The Code
We’re attempting to simply output the basename of the permalink and use that in an IF/ELSE statement using the following to generate:
<?php
$gettheslug = basename(get_permalink());
?>
The Problem
For the purpose of this post, we’ll say that we have bbPress set to http://site.ext/community/. We need to grab ‘community’ from the URL, which is what the code above ‘should’ do, but doesn’t. Instead, it’s grabbing the basename for the last forum we created and continues to update as we create new forums/categories.
To get the basename, we’ve simply echo’ed out $gettheslug in the header. This works for all other areas of the website, except with the bbPress portion which is what’s so confusing .
Perhaps we’re doing something wrong, perhaps I’m doing something wrong. As above, any help is much appreciated.
Hello
I am in the process of making the switch from phpBB to bbPress (once the importer is out of beta). My two questions: how will the current catalog of bbPress plugins work within the new bbPress 2.0 (WordPress plugin)? How are they installed?
I searched for this info here and could not really find a definite answer.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi All,
Sorry if this has been resolved somewhere else, I’ve tried searching the forums and haven’t found anything.
My problem is that I’ve installed the bbPress plugin into a clean install of wordpress, and when testing it tried a simple JavaScript insert. Open script tag, alert “Oh Dear” and close the script tag.
When I posted this, it went through. The page alerted the text. Each time the page loads, it runs the JavaScript.
So, my question is: Is there a way of stopping this? I’m pretty new to WordPress and *very* new to bbPress, but have been loving what I’ve been seeing so far. I really don’t want to have to try something else when this solution seems to tick every box but this.
