@POS2012 bbPress.org/forums using standalone cms version which is much better and more comprehensive then current bbPress plugin.
I can design a custom bbPress theme like bbPress.org/forums layout for you.

Thanks!
in 2.1 is it possible to disable the HTML tab in the rich editor on a role-by-role basis – i’d like to only give the HTML tab to moderators
Yes, I understand that the surrounding layout (WP theme) can be changed, but I would like a forum set up that is more like this one.
So I am more thinking of the setup of the forum that is “rendered” inside the WP layout’s page.php.

Check out free ones here: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/search.php?q=bbpress
You’ll have to search for paid themes on Google.
But really, almost any WordPress theme should work with bbPress
SKParticipant
Manually:
Create new forums in standalone.
Create users in standalone with some particular password.
Create new topics, copy pasting content and predating etc
Email all users of your plugin, asking them to reset their passwords.
SKParticipant
fair enough. what’s the process to transfer manually?
SKParticipant
You can use the “old” standalone version. But that’s not recommended as it’s not being developed anymore.
Why do you not want WordPress? Even if you don’t use WordPress, it provides a great framework for bbPress. You should try it.
If you absolutely, positively don’t want to install WordPress, then you should look for another forum software.
SKParticipant
It’s a retrograde step. Standalone version is not being developed anymore. So, nor are its plugin. If you do move to it, you will be stuck with what’s available right now.
I am positive there is no automated tool to downgrade from plugin to standalone. You will need to either write some database queries yourself or do the transfer manually.
I have installed bbPress today and been looking around in the files, and have started to get a grip on the theme and how it works.
But I am no designer, and I would like to buy a theme that is either exact alike – or close to – what I would like to get.
I do like the simplicity / setup of the theme used here in bbPress.org/forums – but would like have a little more icons etc.
Do you know any place where I can buy theme(s) for bbPress when using it as a WP-plugin?
I mean themes placed here:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/
Thank you 
I am actually fresher than you as a bbPress user, but have pretty long experience with doing themeing.
As far as I understand these are the parameters in which bbPress is themed:
Your WP theme’s page.php is used to display the bbPress. So all layout surrounding the bbPress itself is done in the main theme of your WP site.
BUT
there are many bbPress-templates too, and they are placed here:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/
in a defaul install there is this theme: /bbp-twentyten/
You’ll find it here:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/
Inside this you’ll see files like:
page-front-forums.php
single-topic.php
etc
In these files you’ll see the setup for each single bbPress page layout as far as I understand it.
Any bbPress users that can confirm this?
Yes, i think like martin_style
Please help me
Reinstalled more then one.
And tryed installiing bbpress from plugins and from buddypress
Perhaps then I do not know what I am doing.
I have created a site that has bbPress as its members only forum component with a user name and password login.
The last software I used had an option on each Forum to receive new forum posts and Topics via email amd/or RSS. bbPress , does not appear – to me – to have that option.
From what I am reading in these forums it is a much sort after feature but does not seem to get satisfactorily addressed.
The modifications in step 3 and 5 depend on your theme/layout.
In step 3 I made css modifications to “theme” the forum colors mostly. These modifications are unique to each site. I just use firefox to inspect elements then locate that element in the bbpress.css file and change it to how I want it to look.
In step 5 I modified page.php to remove the sidebar. Again this is specific to your site however this is how my page.php looks
Code:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<!– BEGIN MAIN WRAPPER –>
<div id=”main-wrapper”>
<!– BEGIN MAIN –>
<div id=”main3″>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<!– BEGIN POST –>
<div id=”post”>
<h3 class=”section-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class=”post-entry”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(‘before=<span class=”page-links”>Pages: &after=</span>’); ?>
</div>
</div>
<!– END POST –>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
<!– END MAIN –>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I am surprised that this RSS issue remains unresolved, given the history and number of questions on getting RSS feeds out of bbPress.
I have been unable to find a solution and am now thinking that bbPress was the wrong choice.
Hi, im using the latest version of buddypress+bbpress.
I installed sitewide forums.
Used the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] on http://portal.thedrughouse.eu/forum/
It works, but after you click on a sections you cant do anything anymore. cant start a topic, it just puts the description in the page
Greetings,
I’m looking of the ‘Goldilocks’ theme for bbPress 2.0.2 with the “bbPress Threaded Replies plugin, version 0.3”, on WP 3.3.1.
Here’s what I’ve found on my site as I view forum replies:
• Twenty Eleven 1.3 – the threading is very well performed with ‘shading’ used to group/nest and further ‘orient’ the reader about what rely is being replied to.
• Twenty Ten 1.3 – the treading works fairly well via subtle indenting, but there’s no shading and the grouping is so subtle that ‘orientation’ about who is talking to who is considerably less obvious than with Twenty Eleven
• bbPress (Twenty Ten) 1.2 – this theme did not ‘thread’ for this plugin
Summarizing, 2011 presents threading the best, but I prefer the “compactness” of the 2010 theme over 2011 at the top of each page. So, I have a bit of a dilemma in that none of these themes are ‘Just Right’.
Does anyone have any suggestions about other themes that might work better for this Newbie?
Oh, and this might be useful. The Threaded Replies plugin ReadMe file states that: “Filters are available for modification of plugin behavior”, but it shares no other information about this. Does anyone have any experience with these ‘Filters’ …what they are, what they might do, etc.?
Any updates on the status of 2.1? The way it deals with theme compatibility is great.
I installed the 2.1 beta on a test site using harnold007’s directions (I wish he’d tell us what the modifications were in steps 3 and 5!)
When I tried to change themes, or even to deactivate 2.1 I got this error. Anyone know how to fix it?
Fatal error: Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ not found in /homepages/6/d396770293/htdocs/Clean_Test/wp-content/themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php on line 32
Hi,
I am testing bbpress 2.1 plugin, and topic tags seems to be an unnecessary feature,
How to disable / remove it completely? (tags are so out of fashion these days)
It would be nice if in the future version there was a tick box in forum settings to turn it off
I agree with soumen_123, everything on this site ssems to be outdated and refer to the old bbpress, not version 2+
However if you want to find functions you can look through the files located plugins/bbpress/includes, they are named and organised very well.
I think bbpress should have a common platform stating the functions and features of each and every file and also how can we manipulate each file to get different results.
Thanks

How can i set up bbpress forum by it self but not with wordpress ?
I’m currently using Xenforo, great forum, but I want to have my forums integrated with my site. Glad to hear Xenforo is in added to future options.
