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!
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.
