Hi,
Good day to all community,
I am starting up a site, and I am setting up the BBPress Latest Discussions Plugin. I have installed and integrated WP & BB. Once I activate the plugin and use the call for the latest discussion on the wordpress page I am given this error
“It Seem There Is Something Wrong With BBLD Configuration, Please Check It.”
What should I set?
Thanks,

That’s good to know. With the buddypress install it’s build in and alI I had to do was select whether I wanted to use it or not. Bp doesn’t install bpress plugin separately. It’s always worked that way.
Somehow the bp selection for it turned off and I had click install again. It’s fixed now. This has happened to me before with bp pages. It’s definitely an issue with the new bp component setup. Thanks for confirming what bbpress config should look like.
Sorry, I’m not familiar with the non-plugin version(s) of bbPress so I can’t say.
Thanks, but it isn’t a word press site. Will it work on a windows hosted site?
There is an easier way assuming you want to install the plugin version (2.x).
Login to your WordPress site. Go to Plugins > Add New/
Search for “bbPress”. Click install. Done.
same issue here. For testing just to make sure if any of my other plugins or themes are not the cause, I have installed bbPress on a fresh WP install without any other plugins and I get the same error.
any solutions yet?
I get to step fourteen and then the wheels fall off. I clicked on the Home tab, and there is no big “Your Files” button. I used the FTP button and cannot find bb-config-sample.php, so obviously I missed something. Any ideas?
Thank you for your reply, I appreciate the time you took for me.
I did change the WP_DEBUG and it’s gone now.
Hmm, I’m not sure but that definitely does not look correct at all.
What version of bbPress are you using?
It’s nothing bad as it’s just a notice – you can certainly continue using the plugin without any worry! This will likely be fixed in the next update.
It sounds like you have WP_DEBUG set to true. If this site is running in production you might consider switching it to false so users won’t see any notices.
Hello,
An error has just start coming up on a site I am trying to make with a forum. The site has been working for a few weeks then this week, all of a sudden I have the following error across the top of the dash board and errors coming up when I go to other areas of the dashboard…
Notice: add_contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab() instead. in /home/lifeafte/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3467
Do you know what this means and can I carry on using the bbPress plugin?
I had the same problem too. What I did was I did not copy the theme I had in my wordpress thus I created a new one on bbpress to avoid conflict.

I have a strange phenomenon occurring in my BBPress install (2.02) (WordPress 3.31).
It seems every few weeks my topic published dates and owners get reset to a specific date and the owners all get reset to one specific user throwing everything out of line. I can’t seem to pinpoint when the exact time, or what is causing it, but it is not related to new plugin installs or the like, everything is frozen at their specific version as is. I first noticed this in December and it has happened every few weeks. Any ideas on this?
ok, I think I worked it out:
– install buddypress
– install bbpress
– DON’T add theme support to current theme (this is what I did before)
– copy the Forums (Index) Page Template and content-archive.php files to your theme directory, so can create a /forum page
– optional: create a forum.php file in your theme directory (I based mine on my page.php file) as this controls the look and feel of all bbpress pages.
I posted this in troubleshooting but perhaps that wasn’t the right area.
I’m using the “bbPress Topics List” plugin and have set the maximum number of topics to list as 20, yet it only ever displays 5.
How can I force it to display more?
Ultimately I’m back to where I began. I want to continue using the WP top bar but have the edit account option link to bbPress’s account page.
No, I am not aware a way to easily keep the admin bar but filter the user link so that it goes to the bbPress profile page instead of your wp-admin user.
Something like this would need to be a custom plugin.
I mentioned various things you can do, without touching virtually any code, that would help keep users from hitting /wp-admin – unfortunately hacking the admin-bar is not one of those things.
And you’re not aware of any plugins that perform a similar task that also have a php drop-in facility to put it anywhere in the theme? I didn’t find any with a search.
Ultimately I’m back to where I began. I want to continue using the WP top bar but have the edit account option link to bbPress’s account page.
Just use the bbPress Login Widget that is packaged with bbPress 
You would want to disable the admin bar site-wide for “Subscribers”.
Then you would have a link in your site/theme that takes your members to the bbPress profile page where they can edit their profile.
If you disable the admin bar and use login/registrations forms via shortcodes there is really no reason for the users to ever use /wp-admin unless the specifically went to it.
This still isn’t clear.
Let me rephrase, for a specific example: in the top WP bar, how can I change the user’s “Edit profile” link to use their bbPress profile page?
You can do user registration and user login all on the front end using shortcodes and/or other plugins available – there is no reason the basic user needs to use wp-admin at all.
