^ Someone capable should do a videoguide or such. I found out that editing CSS of original theme is much easier than installing a new theme.
There does not seem to be a step by step manual.
`To customize bbPress:
The directory “wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/” contains the directories “bbpress”, “css”, “extras”, and “js”, and the file “bbpress-functions.php”.
“bbpress” contains template files; copy any you want to modify into a directory named “bbpress” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/
“extras” contains optional page templates and things to make life a little easier when customizing; copy any you want to use or modify into the same ‘bbpress’ folder. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/
“css” contains style sheets; copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/css/
Edit the new files for complete control over bbPress display in your theme.`
^ I did all this and the forum stopped working at all. No other option?
Thanks.
I’m having a style problem with this as well. The forumhome only is taking 1/3 of the space counting sidebar, 1/2 the space it should. I tried editing the css but no luck. Any idea what class or id I should be editing?

All other pages are the proper width, just now the forum home. Thoughts? thanks!
I prefer the way WPORG deals with per-project forums over the BuddyPress-bbPress way. As in, when I click on a thread from within a group forum, I want that link to be a default forum link, not a custom group forum link. I realize this can potentially cause some confusion for users when they’re taken away from the group. Thing is that I’m running a forum-centric community, not a group-centric one, so for us it’s problematic the other way around:
User discovers new thread via forum index, clicks thread, suddenly the user is in a group! And that’s what we’d like to avoid.
Using wordpress 3.5
I totally uninstalled bbpress,
dropped all bbpress tables from db
but this link:
http://mysite.com/wp-admin/users.php?role=bbp_keymaster
besides premium subbscribers and others.
still there in user dashboard windows.
I’d like to get rid of it, how?
Tried the way to exclude “wrong” plugin – no effect, still have the problem i mentioned here
tried to post a link – noticed you are having same trouble as I.
I just created a topic “You have topics but do not see replies”

Seems to be the newest version of Commentluv causing a conflict with it.
Thanks for replying @destroflyer
We use 2.0.3 and can’t upgrade yet until we work out theme issues. The latest BBpress completely breaks our theme and makes the site un-usable. We’re working on a new theme but I was hoping I could get these to work without it.
@netweb thank you for that answer it should help debug. But what I don’t understand is that even if the BBpress template is not loading, why are the thread links in the forum being changed to something pretty awkward. Nothing of that sort is defined in the CPT plugin …
The forum tries to point to this link for each thread
http://example.net/forums/topic/forum-category/forum-sub1/%post-name%/
If the bbpress templates are not loading, why are the links being defaulted to that exactly?
Try your plugins
— disable all of them except your theme and your bbpress plugin.
for me it was plugin – “Frontpage category filter”
“This plugin allows you to choose which post categories youe site will show on the homepage. Just go to settings and deselect the categories that you want to hide.
Version 1.0.2 | By Cristian Merli ”
Once I deactivated I went one by one – ok sometimes two by two and isolated that plug-in which I need so I will try and find a workaround or another plugin that will not break bbpress. Would like to continue testing bbpress.. have looked at others and yes they work – but this version of bbpress is so far working with my thesis theme.
As long as that plugin is off.

I confirm that everything is working as described. Thank you for this useful plugin and your quick response.
These are the settings you should use:
Select Platform: Mingle
Database Server: localhost
Database Port: 3306
Database Name: My database name
Database User: My database user name
Database Password: My database password (which I use to login to phpMyAdmin)
Table Prefix: wp_
The changes above are `localhost` for the database server which is the default and is what is needed for most web hosts, the table prefix `wp_` which matches the screenshot you linked to above.
If this does not work confirm with your webhost the correct settings for your database name, user & password.
Hey I solved it after I asked a solution.
I tried `Database Server: localhost` and its done. Thank you.
@ridecbrcom – What version of bbPress do you use?
Hi.
I downloaded the latest file from the link that you provided above, put it in the folder `/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters` but I couldn’t import my old Mingle forum into bbPress.
When I click start button I get this:
Repair any missing information: Continue
Conversion Complete
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
Starting Conversion
The settings which I tried as below:
Select Platform: Mingle
Database Server: My host IP
Database Port: 3306
Database Name: My database name
Database User: My database user name
Database Password: My database password (which I use to login to phpMyAdmin)
Table Prefix: The prefix that used in my database.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance.
Dear All
Please Guide How to Install bbPress
Hi there,
Can you please open a thread in WPML technical support forum? And, include a short description of the problem, WPML and bbPress versions.
Thanks!
Is this the full solutions already?
Yes
Or the known issues are still there at https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/ ?
This is up to date, anything listed here are the ‘workarounds’ you will need to do manually.
1) Which folder to put this file Mingle.php ?
Download `Mingle.php` using this link and upload the file with FTP to `/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters`
2) Just quickly have a look at my phpMyAdmin http://visionopen.com/questions/phpMyAdmin.png, is there any potential issue(s) for me to proceed with this Mingle.php?
Everything looks good here, on the import screen where it asks for table prefix use `wp_`
Remember to backup your web site pages and database first though…

bbPress uses the permalink settings (/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress) to determine if we are loading something that is bbPress, if it is bbPress we are loading then we need to load the appropriate bbPress template.
So if the CPT permalink plugin you are using is hijacking WordPress CPT’s before bbPress can detect its own CPT permalink to load a bbPress template then no bbPress template will be loaded.
I understand that, but I didn’t use the plugin to modify any BBPress related permalinks. The simple turning on of the plugin caused the topic links in the forums to be broken. The permalinks as stated in my original post didn’t change at all.
One more thing Stephen, is the converter supposed to convert Topic Subscription? If not, do you have any idea where that’s stored in WordPress/bbPress?
