Well, with all the Spam that Forums get as well as allowing Anonymous posters to also post BUT get moderated, I (and many others) are having to use the plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/
For my Relationships Forum, obviously people are more inclined to seek help when they’re not obliged to leave their public identities.
So this plugin leaves all Topics and Replies in a Pending and unpublished state.
The issue with Spam posts are these Spammers are also pumping the Tag with URLs or other rubbish.
From a logic point of view, Pending and/or Unpublished Topics/Replies shouldn’t affect anything for a Published Topic.
But they are. I’m seeing Published Topics losing already established Tags from unPublished and Awaiting Moderation Repies which, in my opinion, is a bbPress bug and certainly not a logical workflow.
2.1 can be downloaded by going to this page https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin and clicking download zip archive at the bottom of the page – is this the one you downloaded from earlier?
Keep in mind that 2.1 is not quite final (although stable from my testing) so it would be wise to do a backup before the upgrade if you are doing it in a production environment.
I’m actually the author of bbPress Genesis Extend. If you are using 2.0.x you actually dont need Genesis Extend (unless you want some of the new features) because bbPress 2.0.x has limited Genesis compatibility built into it.
You can post videos by use using the URL, just like you do in a WordPress post.
Just enable this in the settings (this is 2.1 only) http://sht.tl/GSr
Right now bbPress doesn’t ship with image upload capabilities, this might be worth a look https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/ – I have not personally used it with 2.1 though.
This is actually something that is set by WordPress (since bbPress uses WordPress users).
You’ll have to do some digging, this might be a starting point

Okay…we resolved the issue by installing a SMTP plugin for WordPress.
The default mail() function apparently works fine for the basic WordPress functions but for some reason it wouldn’t work with the bbPress plugin. So we went around it. 
Absolutely. Unfortunately most theme authors just don’t want to put in the time to make it “bbPress ready” out of the box.

That is kindof what I am asking.
Are themes allowed to “support” bbPress and other custom pages?
unzipped foldername is “trunk” which i renamed to bbpress.
Downloaded a zip file from:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin
and it had a different content then the “trunk” folder.
Uploaded this one and it worked in wordpress.
However, the initial problem from this topic still remains, also in version 2.1 
What is the name of the new folder you are moving into the plugins directory. What’s inside it.
Sometimes it may unzip as bbpress-r238787/bbpress/ so I just wanted to make sure that’s not the case.
Inside the folder should be all the normal contents of bbPress. It should work fine on multisite without any issues.
I don’t think bbPress is doing this.
What plugins are you using?
Just delete the bbpress directory in your plugins folder and replace with the new one. You don’t need to do any uninstalling in WordPress, no.
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.
SKParticipant
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.
