I’ve noticed the same thing. Did you ever figure out a solution for this?

Ok, for someone who is NEW to ‘how to do’ this .. that did not help much. Just saying.
Does anyone know how I can Change the Forum Background Colour, Text Colour, Font Type? I am not very CCS friendly or do not know much coding .. would be helpful if you can either provide a code or a plugin/fix that can do this for me.
The website I am trying this on right now is http://revivechallenge.com – please check the forum it is ‘WHITE and text is invisible’ because the entire font is white too and the website theme is black/dark.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi
We installed bbpress in our wordpress site
We created some forms using bbpress
Also we created some posts inside the created forms using bbpress
From this link http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes we found short codes.
We used
[bbp-topic-index] – this is listing forms
[bbp-topic-index] – this is listing topics.
Is there any way to list form wise topics that is we need to list first form name then all topics in that then second form name then all topics in that etc. Please advise.
In some sample bbpress sites we could able to see all form names listing and then if we click on any one form name all topics in that form will be listed like http://singletrackworld.com/forum/forum/classifieds-wanted Please advise how to achieve this.
Thanks
I changed bbpress.css in folder /bbp-theme-compat/ which I was able to get it they way I want it to look.
However, it is using my wordpress default page theme. I would like it to use a full width page theme that I have.
Example it is using:
<div id=”main-wrapper”>
<div id=”main”>
<div id=”post”>
<h3 class=”section-title”>testing 2</h3>
<div class=”post-entry”>
// Then it goes to the forums tag
<div id=”bbpress-forums”>
Also, under the default page theme it grabs the sidebar, which I do not want it to do.
If someone can please point me in the right direction on changing the wordpress page theme that is being used for the forums. Thank you!
Quick question. Do the Permalink settings/structure matter to bbPress?
I’m thinking using the certified compatible theme of TwentyTen would be the wisest choice. My dilemma is not knowing how to customize it to “pretty” it up more. Knowing that full integration is the intended use of bbPress makes me even more motivated to figure out how to do it. Starting with a fresh WP install and building it from the ground up is not too out of the question for me at this point. I would much rather spend a few hours redoing the site than having to login to an entirely different sites for the next few years! Thanks so much for diligent responses. I will let you know how it goes. I may reach out to the theme developer and see if this is something that is a common error for them. If it is, then TwentyTen it is and some learning and elbow grease customizing it!
Unfortunately we don’t get paid to help out here, we are purely volunteers.
There is one of two things going on here – A) a plugin/theme is conflicting with something or 
your install is doing something weird (eg are you on multisite).
I would start from bottom and see if you can figure out what is throwing a wrench in everything.
It literally could be about anything, which is hard for my to give you solid instructions on what to do next 
I know this isn’t your fault but this is frustrating. I’m trying the new theme and giving it another go. I have installed the plugin, created some forums and topics. As soon as I login it shoots me out to the site’s homepage. As soon as I navigate back to the forum it auto logs me out!?! At this point, I’m wondering if I should start the site from scratch and install 1 thing at a time to see what seems to be the problem. This is where code geniuses get paid for helping idiots like me! 
What do you think? I will put more time into the TwentyTen theme. I really like everything we have done already with the current theme which would suck if I lost it all.
Full integration is completely possible and is ideal, but depending on your theme it may require some tweaks and elbow grease.
But to answer your question, yes you should be able to activate it on your main site.
I’m honestly not sure why that came out. I was previously using a theme I paid for but was not compatible with bbPress. I switched to this new one (Graphene) which is supposed to be compatible. I wonder if it was something that happened during the switch.
So to make sure I’m not chasing an unattainable goal, I should be able to build this forum through my existing site (say on a page) and be able to handle moderation, replies, etc. through the WP dashboard I’m already logged into? Or is best to create the forum on different domain? My wish would be full integration with the site.
I’m not sure if that would cause the problem, but that’s still something you should be fixed.
You need to set the permissions on your .htaccess file so WordPress can modify it.
Should be able to do that through your FTP client.
I noticed this at the bottom of the Permalinks screen.
If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Would this have anything to do with it? I have noticed this before.
By simply going that page, your permalinks are automatically flushed. So once you pull it up that’s all you needed to do 
OK. Here is where my ignorance comes in. I am at Settings>Permalinks and I do not see what you mean by flushed. Is this a term for a specific Permalinks format? Thanks
Thanks for the response. I will go and try that now. I have installed and began testing on a subdomain to use TwentyTen. The particular theme I am currently using states it is compatible. I understand though that there could certainly be some bugs associated. I will update with status of TwentyTen.
I found that I had to add these to the kses.php file in wordpress include, which you should NEVER do in order for them to show up. can some one tell me why this code isnt working and adding these tags to the available tags usable for non admin based users?
I have tried with the add_filter above and or bellow, like you see it now, the function.
I have this in my themes function.php file. Not in the bbpress theme function file because I am using my current wordpress theme as the theme for the bbpress theme (if that makes sense)
Thoughts?
function extraTags($tags)
{
$tags['a'] = array(
'href' => array(),
'title' => array(),
'class' => array()
);
$tags['div'] = array(
'class' => array()
);
$tags['img'] = array(
'src' => array(),
'width' => array(),
'height' => array(),
'alt' => array(),
'title' => array()
);
$tags['ol'] = array();
$tags['ul'] = array();
$tags['li'] = array();
$tags['pre'] = array(
'class' => array()
);
$tags['h1'] = array();
$tags['h2'] = array();
return $tags;
}
//Add a new filter.
add_filter('bbp_allowed_tags', 'extraTags');
I have a successful, running “stand-alone” but integrated bbPress installation that has been up for about a year or so.
I just installed the plugin and activated it but I get the “insufficient permissions” error when I try to click on “Forums” in admin although I have created a test forum.
When I go to Admin>Settings>Import/bbPress Standalone Importer – it doesn’t do anything – just sets there. It is trying because when I go back to it – I am asked if I want to continue the old import.
I don’t know if this makes any difference – but my old installation is under mainsite/forum and the new – seems to be in mainsite/forums
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Shep
But that does not solve my problem!
I had to disable my site can not provide an operational service!
I work on this installation of wordpress to find a solution : http://rootserv.fr/?topic=test
I contacted support WPbakery
And they lead me to you! Cool their support!
Wow… thanks a lot for the help… one can’t guess it indeed…
one more tip : when on translate.wordpress.org, beware that the translations for your language may be not validated yet. The default export link exports only “current” translations, i.e. validated ones. Use “Only the matching filter” option and you will be able to export all the messages.
use the “file” unix command to check the content of the .mo file. e.g.
$ file wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-fr_FR.mo
GNU message catalog (little endian), revision 0, 732 messages
by using the default export, I was only retrieving one message, and thus nothing was translated…
What should I understand this very constructive response ?
It could be a conflict with another plugin, theme, or numerous other things.
What I would do first is 2 thing:
– Go to Settings > Permalinks to make sure they are flushed
– Temporarily activate TwentyEleven or TwentyTen theme
If it works with TwentyTen/Eleven then you will know there is a conflict with your theme.
If you are aware of another topic which answers, please lead me in the right direction. I am assuming the answer is already out there but I did a search and came up empty.
bbPress v. 2.0.2
I have installed the plugin on my theme. I am using Graphene 1.6.2. I created a page specifically for the forum. I included some of the short codes for the forum. When I logged into the forum, it seemed to log me out of my WP admin area and I could no longer access the WP dashboard. Am I doing something wrong here?!? My goal is to simply provide a simple forum solution to our members contained within the site. I thought this would be the answer but it has proven more difficult than anticipated. I will admit that code is not my strength but with simple instruction/tutorial I can navigate my way through a work around. Any advice or wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Hi all !
The problem is that the forum of my site (bbpress plugin), responses to issues are offset in the page width (hula, not very clear!), See this page ….

Sorry for my bad english !
