Theme’s can certainly ship with “bbPress support” if they wanted to – most just don’t.
Not sure if that’s what you are asking.

No. I meant providing, say, layout for bbPress pages….
Thank you, that plugin was exactly what I wanted. Not a highly refined plugin but still works.
I’m not 100% as I don’t deal a lot with multisite, but I don’t belive the subsites should conflict with one and other.
Wow, that is really weird.
Just for grins, if you upgrade to 2.1 does that fix it.

@The Newb – posting a thread bashing bbPress, complaining how “complicated”, and how no one helps you – despite being a member of the forum for 1 week and only posting once is insulting.
Obviously bbPress is not the forum software for you – that is fine. Good luck installing and customizing an alternative.
Move along and stop trolling. Any further threads/replies that are not constructive will be closed or deleted.
I have site where I have BP forum. And I’m making new site, where I want to include topics from old site. Topics are in buddypress, while new site will have bbpress…
Can I do that? If so, how?
Hi,
I’m just building a site and want to use bbpress as a forum. Mostly because it works with a bilingual site.
However, if i open a topic, it doesn’t display date, time etc…
example:

Any ideas / solutions?
Grtz,

I am having some problems generating a forum index page.
Once I created my forums I thought that by adding the url http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/forums/ to the menu I would be in business. Going to the url shows a featured article and the bbPress sidebar, not a forum index.
Since I did not get a forum index I created a new page and named it Forums. I then pasted the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] into the body of the page and nothing changed. The same results were displayed as if I did not have a page. Almost seems like bbPress ignored my page.
Here is the link to the page…
http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/forums/
The next thing I did was to create another page and name it “Test Forum.” I inserted the shortcode and this page displayed a forum index for me.
http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/test-forum/
The problem I am having now is that the slug “test-forum” only relates to this page and not to any of the forum pages because the slug “test-forum” does not exist in the bbPress settings. Those settings use the slug “forums/forum”. If I change the “forums” slug to “test-forum” I end up back to my original problem.
I would like to leave my slugs defaulted to their original values. I just want a forum index page using the bbPress slugs and have a bbPress sidebar.
This is probably simple, but I have not figured it out yet, so I hope someone can shed some light on what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
Rhek
Hello,
To solve my problem I went into my bbpress setting on my network site and changed the forums slug name. That seems to have cleared up the “Possible BuddyPress conflict: Forums page” message on the subsite.
I would like to leave the bbpress slugs as default on all subsites and was curious if one subsite will now conflict with another subsite or will what I did cause other issues.
Thanks,
Rhek
Still have this problem. Would appreciate some help.
Thanks,
Rhek
Thank you John, I use bbPress 2.1 and using Shortcodes actually improve something. The list of forum looks better. But still not working correctly, you can see it again in http://site.teamcyanide.eu/example-forum.
I know no one will take so much trouble but if you want I can give you access to the web or create an instant portable wordpress (http://www.instantwp.com/) with themes, plugin and everything ready to see what errors have. If not, nothing happens, I understand that you do not waste time on this with me.
John thank you very much for your help, really appreciate it
In theory this should work with bbPress as well, but it has not been confirmed or tested.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-facebook-connect/
When using such features of bbpress its obvious its logging you in and checking your credentials against that stored in the DB before allowing you to post.
What about such features like Facebook registration and login?
What steps or food for thought can you give me around allowing users to register through Facebook to then be able to login through Facebook and then be treated like a bbpress user with a profile and the ability to post?
I continued to do some tests but continues to do the same. I have asked in the support forum wordpress theme, but nobody has any idea. So I’m giving up, I do not know what else to do.
Thanks – that works fine!
Hi, I am new here.
I just upgraded WordPress and Buddypress on my site to the newest version. I noticed the avatars folder has been moved from wp-content/blogs.dir/1/avatars to wp-content/uploads/avatars, and since avatars are not showing in bbpress I guess it is still looking for avatars in the old location.
I am using bbpress verson 1.0.2. I will upgrade to 2.0 sometime later on, but for now I need this one to work.
Does anyone know what I need to do to make this work?
Jaredatch I might wait since I just checked the development tracker ( https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap ) and realized that 2.1 is 99% finished.
Maybe we can see a finished release this week?
I needed to use [bbp-forum-index] in the page instead of the template.
Did you activate one of the default themes and see if that made the problem go away?
Sorry, I’m not normally big on coding and what not (I typically use others for that, but am trying to solve this one on my own), where would I start looking in order to track down the problem?
Well the best thing would be to contact the theme author if possible. Otherwise you’ll have to see if you can track down the problem 
Thanks for replying jaredatch. One more question though. Say I figure out that the theme is causing the issue. What can I do to fix that?
95% of the time when this happens it is because your theme is doing some weird things behind the scenes.
The first thing you will want to do is eliminate your theme as the source of the problem.
To do this, temporarily activate TwentyEleven, and now see if this issue is fixed. If it is then the issue is definitely with your theme.
