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.
Thanks. Debating between bbpress and mingle.
I hate to drag up an older topic, but I’m having the same issue. What exactly did you change starofmay to make things work for you?
Im sorry if this has been asked already. I need help kindly making bbpress as a page in my nav bar? Info highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
We just installed bbPress 2.0.2 on the latest version of WordPress. Everything is working great, except that when someone subscribes to a topic they never receive the email notifications. Regular WordPress notifications (such as new user registration) work fine. Any idea what’s wrong? The only other plugins we have are small things like random quote widget and weather widget.
Thanks!
Hello, I have bbpress up and running along with buddypress and it’s working fantastic. I have just one issue.
On my main forums page, I can’t figure out how to get the topic count to update. For example, here is my page listing all my forums:
http://www.cornerstonecooking.com/forums/
The second forum (Cornerstone recipes) says it has two topics but there is really only one. I created a topic in that forum and then deleted it but the count still shows 2 topics. While this isn’t a huge deal, I can imagine it getting confusing as forums grow.
I even permanently deleted the topic in the wordpress admin section thinking that might do it. Still no luck.
Is there some reason why this count isn’t updating normally?
Thanks!
I’m using “bbPress (Twenty Eleven) 1.0 by Stephen Carroll, WordPress and bbPress teams.” I get the error:
“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”
And the page templates don’t show up, so I can’t create a forum index. Have I installed this theme incorrectly?
thanks!
I’ve just installed bbpress and it looks great. I seem to some sort of problem. When some post a reply to the first post i looks strange…
LINK: http://www.neworleanssaints.dk/Forums/emne/test-trad/#post-3573
WordPress vers: 3.3.1
bbpress: 2.0.2
My installation instructions.
1. Installed plugin and activated in WordPress.
2. Copied the contents of /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/ into my themes root folder /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/
3. Modified bbpress.css in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/css/
4. Put in this line in my header.php <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/css/bbpress.css”>
5. Modified my page.php in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/ (please note if you have any other pages using page.php in your theme modifying this file will also modify those pages utilizing this wordpress page template). I modified it so my forum would be full width without the sidebar. This will vary depending on your theme.
6. Created my forums in my wordpress admin panel under the forum section.
7. Tested, everything is working great!
It looks OK to me but I rarely mess with stuff like this.
If your site is still under development, you may consider upgrade bbPress to 2.1 (currently in testing). It has some new theming features and auto-detection in place.
In 2.1 it should automatically find those files without needing to put anything in your functions.php.
If you do choose to try 2.1, since it is “beta” at the moment make sure and back up everything first just to be safe.
You will have to elaborate on that.
How to await moderation post???????
Seems I’ve found out why. The theme I’m using doesn’t seem to have a template that’s supports the bbPress forum.
Anyone wanna help me tweak this theme!? lol
Thanks man but I have looked all over both CSS files.
/theme/styles.css
/css/bbpress.css
I dont see anything about profile or user visabilty or any allow statment going on in there.
Do you know where this elusive theme edit is you speak of????
It may have to do with my no login with firefox and safari issue as well.
I got it…. woah… Topic Resolved
in bbpress.css (Line 109)
#content th.bbp-topic-author,
#content th.bbp-reply-author {
text-align: center;
width: 110px;
}
Sets the size of the container holding all the author info. Which the forum content aligns to. Mine was set too small it works now. With a little tweaks back and forth to adjust for cross browser continuity. hmmm
Do you know what effects the update to 2.1 will have?
btw you rock as a moderator !!! thanks
and how the hell do i change my avatar on bbpress.org ? haha
If you are using bbPress 2.x (which you are) all the users are shared and everything is taken care of automatically – so no need to worry 
The article you were reading might have been for bbPress pre 2.x.
My site has a forum AND may have a blog in the future. So I just wanted to be sure that users did not have to create two different logins.
So this will occur automatically? An article I thought I read in one forum that the databases for the bbpress and wordpress users were inherently separate, unless you specifically told bbpress to use the same database as wp?
