I start believe in bbPress when the 2.0 release and I do understand that it need time to be mature but now it already satisfy my need.
As core forum plugin, it does great platform and now I just wait for another plugins that able to make bbPress stand from the others.
First you should disable all plugins manually using cpanel, just rename your ‘plugins’ folder into ‘plugins2’ then you should be able to enter the wp admin.
After browse to plugins page, you will see lots of errors because of no plugins located. Then rename your ‘plugins2’ from cpanel into ‘plugins’ again and try activate a plugin one by one to figure what the culprit.
First, forget any previous custom yet nice looking bbpress themes since it not usable anymore. It for bbPress 1.x
As Anoited said now bbPress (2.x) is using your own active WordPress theme and can merge with built-ed styles and layout of bbPress. You can find it at /plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten
You can try temporary switch your active theme to Twenty Ten to figure out what the forum will be. Then you can use your wp theme as your bbPress theme with some modifications.
Can you describe more…
Are you asking how to install WordPress or

How to merge a bbpress theme into wp theme?
I am using bbPress as a WordPress plugin, and I found it doesn’t fit well on my Android phone or iPod screens. Well, forum menu is crashed and topic-creating forms looks weird and so on.
It would maybe a templates problem, I guess.
How do I fix this issue? Is there any WordPress plugins or themes that solve this?
Hello!
I downloaded the theme of bbPress for my PC. However, I do not know how I should proceed. Please could you tell me what I do to install the wordpress and can integrate it?
Thanks

not really a theme compatibility issue, but bbpress post toolbar plugin does not function with bbpress 2.1, nor does bbpress qoutes, just something for the plugin authors to think about.
No issues with 2.1 on my site – and the approach is much better
Just saved me weeks of work – and i’m using it on a live site against recommendations (watch out, we have a bad ass over here)
@anointed
Hadn’t thought about any of that actually. I suppose a person could choose what existing forum to put the posts in, make replies anonymous temporarily on bbpress when doing the conversion, so that you could post comments as replies without having to register anyone.
Mostly I think the most important thing to transfer over would be to have the topic itself.
Not sure how much a demand for this there would be though, I know I’m not the only one who is looking for a way to do this though. I’m hoping to use bbpress in such a way that it replaces the blogging function entirely, so hopefully i can figure this out.
I think there might be a way to do it actually. I thought I saw something once upon a time that converted wordpress posts into bbpress topics for the standalone version. I guess once you convert to the standalone you could then convert it yet again to the plugin version.
I’ll give it a shot and see what happens.
what theme are you using?
Is there any idea when a Xenforo convert will be included?
Thanks
Jon

Are you using the new bbPress 2x?
If so, bbPress 2x does not use custom bbPress themes anymore. It uses your currently active WordPress theme.
There is currently no real way of differentiating one forum from another as roles are concerned. Members and role-scoper plugins have no way to do this as bbPress is currently setup.
I do remember reading that Justin was going to write some type of plugin to do this, but I have not heard anything further on it in months.
@aravoth2011
No, the converter is not currently setup to convert posts to forum topics.
Thinking about it, it would actually be a rather large undertaking.
1. Do you create a new forum for each post category to put the post into the right forum?
2. If so, what about posts with more than one category, do you put the post into multiple forums?
3. what do you do with the comments? Do they become replies?
4. What do you do with threaded comments? They would be way out of order in the scheme.
5. What do you do for comment authors as most people who comment are not members? Do you create accounts for them and simply not let them know it? Do you send them password to access a site they never signed up for?
Bottom line is it is possible, but really should/would remain in the realm of a custom job as everyone would want a different setup.
@aravoth2011, that would be a cool feature indeed! AWJunkies, can you add in this functionality?
can this convert wordpress posts into bbpress posts? Cause that would be a pretty sweet idea.
I’m having a tough time finding a plugin that will do what I’m trying to accomplish. I have bbpress that I would like restricted – one forum that is open to the public (even anonymous users can post) and other forums that are restricted to registered users. I’ve tried the Members plugin but I can’t seem to figure out how to set an anonymous user, and even when I only allow certain roles to access forums, they are still visible and open to post to everyone, even non-registered users.
Any suggestions?

I think you should merge your wp styles with the bbpress.css
Hello bbpress forums,
Firstly, thanks for a gr8 plugin!
I’m writing regarding an issue installing a bbtheme (kakumei).
Problem: I have uploaded the theme kakumei to the bbpress-themes folder but can’t find my next step. Where in wp-admin do i activate the theme?
Thanks in advance,
/Tin
Maybe you should use another plugins such as “Members” or “User Role Editor”.
