I’m getting the same errors that scribu described. I added his code to the config file, and I’m still getting that error.
bbpress 1.1 and latest bbpress plugin (as of today).
Standard integration, all plugins off and themes set to default.
A reboot cleared up this problem
You all may try out a plugin made by @kristarella – http://kristarella.com/snaps/bbpress-thesis.zip and see if it works. (I haven’t tested it out myself)
Quick follow up. I managed to implement what i was talking about in my previous post. It seems to be working fine for now.
Within the file loop-single-reply.php i changed <?php bbp_reply_content(); ?> to <?php echo get_field(‘intro’); ?> and it displayed the custom field. The other custom fields also worked (main, links).
I’m not sure i’ll be able to work out the next step though!
EDIT: I just realised this doesn’t work, because replies to the topic wouldn’t work. It would use this loop also so replies won’t show. I think i’ll leave it to the experts.
Good to see the discussion going. I’ve slightly got my head around it but i’m going to need a helping hand.
I’m using a plugin called ‘Advanced Custom Fields’. I’ve created a new group of Custom Fields named ‘Articles’. Within this group i have 3 custom fields (intro, main, links). I then use a rule where this Custom Field Group is related to the edit screen of a Post Type equal to Topic.
So now when i go to Topics > New these 3 custom fields appear (i’ve made it so the default fields do not appear). I then select the forum “Articles” and post. The next problem is inserting these custom fields into the forum template so they actually appear. I have not looked into this step yet, what files need to be edited etc, but i’m sure it is possible.
I also have the forums “Reviews”, “Previews”, etc, and these posts will require an entirely different set of Custom Fields. The problem is i cannot use the Post Type equal to Topic because it is already used for the Articles Custom Fields.
Basically, how would i go about creating Post Types of Topic-Article, Topic-Review, Topic-Preview etc and have the forums functioning correctly? I’m kinda new at all of this so sorry if i don’t explain myself correctly.
Thanks.
I currently have only one forum. Inside that forum, it says:
Viewing 5 topics – 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
Um… am I missing something? It’s showing 5 topics, but says there are 7 topics and all are showing? Totally confused.
Is there a setting somewhere I need to change? I can’t figure this one out.
Thanks!

Actually I totally got it 
I think bbPress is getting easier to use in later iterations or something (I wouldn’t want to attribute it to my skillful coding).
It’s in a dev environment or I would shoot you guy the URL to check it out….
Glad I went this route from the onset versus other choices to persue.

Sorry if this has been gone over thousands of times but i used bbpress a long time ago and decided recently that its something i need now, but i need a standalone forum i dont need it integrated with wordpress.
I see that both the new plugin and the old standalone are available but how long till the stand alone is discontinued?
Did you ask Chris about the problem?
As he is the author of Thesis, and a fantastic coder, I am sure that he has a simple solution.
The more I have been researching, it is pointing more to an issue with my theme. I have installed other plugins, such as Facebook comments and a post author box plugin. They are not being applied to the forum posts. That leads me to believe the theme is being applied incorrectly.
I will have to try and get an answer from the theme developer.
I installed Buddypress. Everything works great.
I also installed the group forum in the buddypress settings panel. But than i realized it isn’t realy a public forum.
So i installed the wide one (bbpress 2.0) actived the plugin, i can make forums, topics, reply in the dashboard. but i cannot view them on the website.
I can go to a recent topic but i only see the Title of the topic and the message. I don’t see icons, no forum table, nothing. (see link below)
http://www.joeristallaert.be/comm/forums/forum/testing-new-forum/
Do i need to create pages? if so, what kind of content/code i need to insert.
I also don’t understand the settings : Archive Slugs and single slugs. what do in need to fill in, in those fields.
I tried changing permalinks, but i can’t otherwise my full buddypress won’t work.
btw It should work with my Theme. Because the official Demo of this theme bbpress is integrated.
Thank you.
Hello I just activated the Bbpress plugin to my word press Thesis theme, but I can’t even see the Forum on my pages…..The Thesis Blog seems to “dominate” or override the Bbpress plgun Forum. The menu link I assigned to the forum shows up as the thesis blog not like the bbpress plugin orum. Can someone give some some guidance on how to integrate bbpress plugin with Thesis??
On a side note, I was able to set up a bbpress plugin Forum on another theme (Awake)but I cant seem to make it work with Thesis.
Please help! Thanks
I am also trying to integrate bbpress plugin with thesis…..Have not been able to ! The page I point to the forum from my menus shows up as the Thesis Blog, but not like the Bbpress plgun Forum……..I look forward to some guidance or I might have to look at a different option for my Forum
Installed bbpress. Add new forum but no action button. Same with new topic. Using Atahualpa theme. Turned off all other plugins and went to the bbPress (Twenty Ten) 1.2 theme with same results.
On the add new forum page, I see the text box, title, etc. and then forum attributes, topic attributes, reply attributes and slug – nothing to do with publish.
@RN..
Yes you are correct. bbPress uses custom post types for ‘forum/topic/reply’ so there is a separation of data types.
Mixing the output of posts, topics, and replies would require a straightforward custom WordPress loop. It would also probably need a bit of template love to make it look right.
The idea of having a topic automatically created when a new post is created, or vice versa is another topic. Yes it is possible although I am not sure the best way to go about it.
This is a very useful feature, available in the old bbPress. Hope to see it on bbPress 2.
I want in on this discussion too.
I haven’t used bbPress before but I am ramping up fast on it as I have a big project with it.
I am gathering the the only way to combine posts and the forum is through forum topics is this correct?
So then (if it is correct) I can assume that forum topics are a custom post type and that I can then display forum topics alongside other posts in the blog yeah ?
The essential idea is to have a registered user be able to create a topic.. which becomes a regular post in the blog (I know I will have to do a little tweaking to get the topics to appear as posts) but that is no the main idea, the main idea is for the reg user to create this topic then other members of the forum discuss this topic.
Conversely, the system admin might create a post .. that the admin wants discussed in the forum .. so I am hoping that these two can intermingle like this ..

Can anyone tell me how to use a custom style.css for bbpress bbp-twentyten without import my style.css of theme worpress??? Please that can be a good solution for make a better custom…
No one answer our question, i know you are bussy guys but please really this dont work correctly for custom themes or child theme.
I do like Crisium, and nothing, some one can please say how do it correctly?
@ebharding – Thanks so much for posting that. I was going nuts trying to get this issue fixed. Seems like kind of an odd bug – hopefully something that will be fixed in the next update.
No, no need.. even with the plugin deactivated, which means it has no effect on your site, the formatting problem still exists with no paragraph breaks etc…
There is currently nothing bbpress related showing up in the theme, so no idea why that stuff doesn’t work now, or is formatted wrong.
Huh…
Doesn’t do that for me? I wonder what the problem is?
I’m using bbpress 2.0
I assume you are too?
Thanks for the catch on the 404 page sidebar!
I don’t see anything bbPress related in your theme. There is no bbpress.css stylesheet in the header, and the forums link goes to a 404 page.
Did you actually install the new bbPress 2x plugin?
The easiest way to fix this would be to modify your stylesheet css rules from your theme/child-theme.
Remember that !important will override what bbPress is outputting. Without seeing your site, it’s hard to say much more than that.
@anointed Thanks for the tips! As I re-read the post above, I realize that my issue is simply with regard to the theme (I must have been not paying attention when I posted this morning).
The way my forums stand right now, the title is the same color as the background. Could you suggest a way for me to revise this just so I can just get it functional? I’m using the bbpress plugin and am not sure how to adjust these settings. Thanks in advance!
