I mentioned in some of your other posts that the docs you are following are for the old 1x bbPress plugin. There is not a theme manager for the new bbPress.
Right now there is just the one theme available which I see is running correctly on your site. I’m sure more themes are in the pipeline.
There is not a bbPress admin area with the new 2x version of bbPress. Those documents are for the old system.
Best to watch this video to see how to get bbPress working on a new website.

Unfortunately the docs tab where you got the directions are for the old 1x version of the plugin. These directions do not apply to the new 2x version.
For now, check out the video in this thread which will show you step by step how to install the new bbPress plugin.

Hello there!
I have installed buddypress to my site and chose to side wide installation of bbpress and installed
that plugin.
2 questions I would like to ask:
1. When I check the forums component in buddypress settings, I’m being told it might conflict with bbpress…I tought bbpress was the very forum included in buddypress?
And why would I then have to install bbpress as a seperate plugin when not choosing the “group forums” component but the side wide?
2. I can’t seem to find out how to just set up something that would look like a normal forum.
Similar to the one being used here in the site.
Please help! 
Cheers
Since English is not my Native language, I’m not sure if It is just me, but this makes no sense for me:
“Activating a theme is even easier. Just select it from you bbPress install’s Presentation Admin Panel.”.
http://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/
Please, please update the documentation, at least the essential part of Theming. I am very, very confused at the moment about how to theme BBPress Forums. Very confused.
p.s. Followed the steps, nothing worked at all.

Hi,
Can you install Facebook connect to a bbpress forum that is embedded within a wordpress site?
I have downloaded the following plugin – http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-facebook-connect/
However when I uploaded it to the plugins directory within my wordpress site, it does not appear in the plugins admin menu. I cannot locate the bbpress plugins area within my WordPress site either?
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards
Dan
Hi,
I have installed BBPress into my wordpress site – http://www.3hreedee.com
However at the moment it looks pretty blank, is there anyway of installing a theme to bbpress even though it is within a wordpress site? I have tried uploading themes into the FTP themes folder however cannot find anywhere within bbadmin that would allow me to install these?
My test link is here:http://www.3hreedee.com/forums/
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Dan
thanks for the help, not a bug in bbPress but translated into Czech, I used a different translation and everything works as it should

bbPress 2.x will work with any WordPress theme, some better than others.
I forgot I’ll install the plug you recommended now.
Thanks.
I’ve deleted your user account etc.
I did reply to a post earlier as they seemed to be experiencing a problem that I experienced. Asked them to switch to a bbpress theme. I might have a go at a few more once I’m up and running.
I’ll close this now.
I’ve watched the video. I see what the problem is now;
I started at the forum level because I thought category was specific to wordpress. I need to move everything up one level.
OK, I had no problem registering for your site and creating a topic and a reply to my topic.
http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/topic/looks-like-a-nice-forum-setup/#post-594
also created a topic and reply via the top wp admin bar:
http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/topic/testing-topic-entered-in-top-admin-bar/
*Hope you don’t mind my creating the topic, but seemed best way to test it out.
As far as I can see everything is working perfectly.

One thing I would consider adding is a plugin by JJ
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/
This will remove the ability to create topics and replies via the top wp admin bar for all users except the super admin.
I am guessing that you are using the wordpress backend to create topics and replies (the screen that looks like the create posts).
Really even though you can do it that way, you are more supposed to create topics and replies on the front end of the website. It is confusing to users to click on the top admin bar and go to the wordpress backend to create topics and replies. That little plugin removes that.
Finally:
I can say that your forums are working correctly. To make things easier to understand install that plugin I listed so that your users can’t see the top admin bar to create topics and replies. They will then see the forums as more what they would expect.
Hope the info helps and best of luck
****Please delete my account on your site, go in and delete user****
thanks
Oh I forgot. The bbpress forum that I am making isn’t in the menu. The one in the menu is symposium. I am hoping to change them over in the next day or so.
I have created some forums and topics by working down the menu list;
new forum, new post and new reply.
There are 2 issues
1.
when I create a topic I write the header and the details on a page.
i.e. Topic header; finding out about Christianity
On the page I write a summery: post your questions about Christianity
This is the link to the page;
http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/wp-admin/post.php?post=584&action=edit
2.
When I create a reply it seems to be appended to the topic page. No reply title is displayed. This concerns me as it would be very difficult for users to find the reply etc.
You can see this on this link;
http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/topic/your-questions-about-christianity-2/?preview=true&preview_id=584&preview_nonce=7d17eb9749
I’m confused because when I create a reply in the admin panel you use the page layout which includes a title. You don’t see this in the forum.
Tony:
I don’t have a lot of time to really dig through everything. I read through your old posts, and frankly I don’t know what the problems are. There really isn’t any true dedicated support for these forums. I pretty much just take a peek in here a few times a week and try to give some quick answers to what I think I can help with.
I would suggest watching the video:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-how-to-video
Beyond that, from what I am reading, you really may need to hire a developer to get everything straightened out. I wish you luck.
Hi,
The forum is instalation
The topic is titled
Unable to display bbpress forum in wordpress
It says that it was posted 2 days ago. it was longer than that. I have resolved that problem.
Not enough information provided for us to really help.
I would start by using the twentyten default theme and see if everything is working correctly when everything is setup pretty much out of the box.
If it does not work, then a detailed listing of the exact steps you took through install to where you are now would help. Also a link would be needed to at least have a clue of what is happening.
I don’t know what theme you have but at the moment bbpress only works in theme twenty ten 1.2.
It’s a custom theme built for the old 1x version of bbpress. It was never released.
I have a WordPress 3.2.1. and bbPress 2.0.1
and in forum write this:
Warning: sprintf(): Argument number must be greater than zero in
xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx/web/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php on line 1690
What does this mean?
Thank you for super plugin. 
I unistalled bbpress a week ago but have decided to reinstall it.
I’ve set up a test forum, a test topic and a test post.
When I go to the test topic the content of my test post (not the title) is displayed underneath it. There is no link to the post page.
How do I get the post’s title to display under the topic so that if a reader clicks on it that it opens the content?
I don’t know if my post has been hacked because the originator and tag information have been changed.
I posted on here 3 days ago although your notice board says 1 day. I’ve not received an answer and had another look today.
I noticed that the originator of the post has been changed to The North face jackets and the tags changed to LED Board, LED Display and LED screen.
The psoting affected is unable to display bbpress in wordpress. I have resolved this but I now have another problem with displaying posts correctly. I will post a new topic on this.
thank you for this video, it’s almost a guide
