Please provide a step by step instructions on how to enable 2.1 theme in active theme directory.
Simply copying bbp-theme-compat contents into theme directory wont do it or i just cant.

I am facing a strange problem with one of my sites.
Clicking on a subforum (or typing in the URL) redirects me to the site’s homepage. I suspect this is because somehow WP decides it hasn’t found a page for that URL. Not sure what to do…I have installed bbPress in other sites previously but haven;t had this problem.
Please, can someone help?

Yes, the forums’ appearance sucks…I haven’t customized it yet.
Okay, this is insane. I am able to change the text color of the “Freshness” table, but I’m not able to change the background.

I’m stumped. I’ve even gone back and disabled ALL of the css files from my site and I’m still getting the same background colors for the table. I enabled the css again then I tinkered around with the Freshness table by adding “color: #ff0000” to it. That changed the color or the text.
.bbp-topic-freshness,
.bbp-forum-freshness {
text-align: center;
width: 25%;
color: #ff0000;
}
But, if I add “background-color: #ff0000;” it doesn’t change the background color.
I don’t know what’s going on here. Disabling the CSS leaves the same background and editing the css doesn’t change it.
Even adding the line “background-color: #ff0000;” to all tables without any background color listed does nothing. The only part that does change is the “This category contains 0 topics and 0 replies.” table.
Ahh, ok. Hmm… I guess I’ll just go through the other .css files in my theme and see if anything could be overwriting the table/cell background color in the original bbpress.css.
Actually it’s my fault. I originally listed my plugin as 2.0 and 2.1 compatibly, when really it only works for 2.1 (which is currently in beta).

The bbpress.css is in my theme directory but the only changes being made are to the “This category contains 0 topics and 0 replies” section. The lower table/cell backgrounds aren’t changing even though I made the changes in the .css file.
Without a link to your site I can’t say.
To be honest I still don’t understand what isn’t working. Place the bbpress.css in your theme directory, edit it as you need, that should be it.
Hmm.. I guess that wasn’t my issue after all.
I’ve edited my bbpress.css file (the original) to reflect the color changes I need but it’s still showing the white text on #fafafa background instead of white text on #333333 background color.
I assumed that the #fafafa in the bbpress.css needed to be changed to #333333 but it didn’t work. So I went into my Themes folders .css and changed everything that was listed as #fafafa to #333333 but it still didn’t work.
The only change that was made, that carried over, was changing
div.bbp-template-notice.info {
border: #cee1ef 1px solid;
background-color: #fafafa;
to
div.bbp-template-notice.info {
border: #cee1ef 1px solid;
background-color: #333333;
All of the other changes I made to the bpress.css does not seem to be carrying over.
I also changed the colors in the bbpress-rtl.css and that didn’t work either.
Any thoughts?

1. Unfortunately right now, without writing a plugin, there is no way accomplish this. So if you make someone a moderator, they will be a moderator for the entire site.
2. I’m not 100% sure on the compatibility with bbPress, but I would try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-local-avatars/
Sorry, I’ve been closing threads that are “done” due to getting bumped by spammers. Hopefully when the site gets upgraded to 2.1 this won’t be an issue.
I deleted the snippet because it is now a full plugin available here
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-custom-css-file/
Awesome, thanks for reporting back. If you find any bugs please come back and report them 
My recommendation https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-local-avatars/
Not 100% sure it will work with bbPress, but it *should*.

How can I allow users (esp. bbPress forum contributors) to upload avatars/ profile pictures?

Most forum software have the facility to clip quotes from previous post with the click of a button. Would be nice to have this in bbPress.
Just thought I’d post back in the event anyone else is considering doing the same but it hesitant:
Installation was seamless, and I have had no problems what-so-ever running it.
I’m having the issue listed in the original “Incorporating bbPress theme files, into a pre-existing theme” (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/incorporating-bbpress-theme-files-into-a-pre-existing-theme) thread. Unfortunately, the thread was closed so there could be no follow up to tell jaredatch that the plugin code snippet is no longer available through the link he provided.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Will try it now.
Thanks.
There is a “Recent Activity” widget that comes with bbPress – typically I just use that
Hi jaredatch,
Thanks for the reply. BTW do you have any suggestion or recommendation to share?
Thanks.
Hey all! We use bbPress to run our support forums over at Raygun.
One issue we have is people re-posting in older topics.
Is there a way to automatically “Close” open topics after a certain number of days, say 30 days?
Thanks everyone!
JC: Anything further on this? I’m running this on a production site and have just noticed caching issues with W3 and bbPress. I would love to leverage what you’ve already figured out before I hack through it!
Thanks jaredatch! Found the plugin.
