You actually installed the plugin correctly. The warning about your theme not being bbPress compatible is simply saying that the bbPress plugin is using the templates from the plugin and not your theme. That is the default behavior.
The top topic on the forums here about making your theme fully compatible will explain how to take it to the next level.
As for plugins:
There are a few available plugins for the bbPress plugin but nowhere near as many as with the standalone right now. So no, you don’t get all the features of the standalone, but you get close.
The new plugin is built to WordPress standards so it is quite easy to work with and building plugins is actually much easier. I am positive that we are going to see more and more plugins available shortly.
If it were me, I would not use the standalone and would go with the plugin. It is 100x better than the standalone and is progressing every day. It really is one of the best and most advanced WordPress plugins on the market.

Having this problem as well, have no idea how to solve it.
I too have run into this problem using the Custom Community theme on wordpress. In my situation, I’m not doing a localhost install; it’s instead running off a Greengeeks server. Are there any updates with regard to this? If not, are there any quick fixes? The way my forums stand right now, the title is the same color as the background. Could you suggest a way for me to not-so-elegantly change my forum colors around just so I can just get it functional? Thanks in advance!
Hello
I’m having trouble with this plugin. I’ve installed it fine, and am able to ignore/un-ignore a user. However, testing it out on my demo forum, when I ignore the last user in the thread it then sends me back to the main page and assumes that that thread doesn’t exist so I’m not able to view/access it.
Anyone can help with this?
I read the entire three pages of this topic in one sitting now. I’ve been fooling around with files and folders all day. I give up trying to create a bbPress theme or child theme. I’m just going to edit Twenty-Eleven’s bbpress.css, and if I run into issues updating, then so be it. All I want to do is override Twenty-Eleven’s CSS. It can’t be this difficult…
justin, there is a wordpress plugin, Math Comment Spam Protection:
http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins/math-comment-spam-protection/
which i *think* might be almost reasonable for a non-programmer (like me) to extend to bbpress 2 for anonymous posters. what appears to be missing in bbpress (at least i can’t find it) is a filter hook analogous to ‘preprocess_comment’ for bbpress topics and replies.
has anyone here come up with a non-captcha based solution to allow anonymous posting without being overrun with spam?
Can we post a link to a beginners’ guide for creating bbPress themes at the beginning of this topic, with the rest of the FAQ links, please? It’s kind of confusing as to where to find this information. Also, I would appreciate somebody replying to me as to where to find it while I wait for it to be added to this topic…

It completely worked. Apparently, WordPress.org and bbPress forums are linked. Thanks.
I solved this. Had nothing to do with bbPress, but instead, had to do it via my WordPress theme. Thanks anyway.
I just created a new WordPress site (3.2.1) and installed the latest bbpress plugin (version 2). I have two questions:
1) Where can I find documentation specifically about the plugin, or does everything (plugins and widgets) that works with WordPress and bbpress also work with WordPress and the bbpress plugin?
2) I would like to be able to display not only the root forums, but also the subcategories – in order and indented. I am currently using the bbpress forum list widget, but it doesn’t appear to be able to display the root forums with subcategories indented underneath. It only show root forums, or everything all mixed together.
@rosiste
I would suggest going over to the http://bbconverter.com forums and request to have mingle added to the converter. At the moment there is no system in place, but Adam may add mingle to the list if requested enough.
I agree with Crisium. There is no clear-cut documentation on how to integrate bbPress into WordPress. I myself am at a loss trying to figure out how to force bbPress to use a template that is not my default php template, and at how to create a bbPress child theme. I’ve been reading, reading, reading(!) for the past several days and it all just seems like a big confusing mess to me. If there IS any “user-friendly” and very-thorough documentation for anything in bbPress at ALL, could somebody please link me to it?
Is this possible?
I’ve got them both in the root at the moment and playing nice as far as integration goes, but not as far as the permalinks work. I can’t have both working at the same time, one works or the other doesn’t.
I want my URL structure to operate as follows
bbpress – /forums/ – /profiles/ – /topic/ etc
Wordpress – /category/ – /archives/ – /sample-page/
Is this possible? Or is it possible if I put one of them in a sub folder…
HELP
Hi, Per Carlen did You find some solution, how to do database migration from mingle forum to bbPress? I’m in the same situation right now. Thnx.
Oops sorry, forgot to add this is with 1.1 BBPRess and not the 2.0 so this won’t work =[
@Dan
If I figure it out then I’ll submit the changes. It’s kinda low on my list as I have so much else to finish up, but I do indeed want to learn how to do it so I will try.
I know how to easily add classes to the wp post_class, but it is not the same on the bbPress topic classes. Time for me to keep digging around to learn how to modify the function to work like it does with wp.
*I’m using the plugin over at bbconverter.com and it works great. Nice, simple little plugin, thnx
That is all set in the root bbpress.php plugin file.
I have never even thought about changing those locations, and I don’t think it is currently possible without hacking the heck out of the plugin as I see the dirs hardcoded throughout.
Frankly, as they are internal links within the bbpress plugin, I can’t personally see any reason that I would ever want to change them, but whatever the reason that’s your business.
I’m no developer, but I seriously doubt it’ll happen. JJ would have to speak to that… way out of my league.
I’m guessing you mean bbp_get_user_favorites_link() which is found in: /bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-template.php line 534.
Accepts the $add and $rem arrays for changing the output text.
I took a quick peek at your link. Honestly I do not see anything at all which would cause the spacing like that.. it is very strange.
One place you might try asking is over at css-tricks, as they have a great forum for css issues and Chris is a genious at that kind of stuff.
As to removing the info boxes:
Unless you have manually replicated all of the bbPress templates and added them manually to your theme, then you are actually using the bbPress twentyten theme templates. (they are found inside the bbPress plugin folder)
In there you will find files like content-single-forum.php, content-single-topic.php, etc..
In those templates are functions like:
<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>, <?php bbp_single_topic_description(); ?>, etc...
Those are the functions used to output the information blocks. You would need to remove those lines from the files in order to get rid of the boxes.
**Now obviously if you modify those files, then you will loose your changes every time you update bbPress, not advised….
Instead check out the theme compatibility thread in the forums here to learn how to make child themes so you can make changes without loosing those changes.
Or.. you can always take the ‘easy’ way out and simply add some css rules to your stylesheet to hide them. Not at all elegant but effective.
.div.bbp-template-notice.info { display: none; }
Bump, really need help here..
