The best fix would be to use a standalone BBPRess syncing with the WordPress database, and then, somehow making it have the same theme?
alrighty, with your help, anointed, I’m getting the hang of this now. I’ve created new pages with bbpress shortcodes, and linked them accordingly. Now I am testing the registration process and I have one question.
Instead of having new users login via the WordPress Dashboard, can I make it so they stay at the frontend? Does that make sense? I do not want them logging into any kind of WordPress backend.
Thanks again buddy.
@tyskkvinna – The forum that comes with BuddyPress is 1.0ish. I don’t know exactly which version, but it’s not based on the bbPress plugin. I think that will change in the future.
bbpress comes with a login/register widget which you can add to your sidebar.
I am so confused here. I have installed the bbPress forum on my website via the link below, but how do people register to post and reply to topics? There’s no visible link.

I am using the default Twenty Ten theme, WP version 3.2.1.
Do I need to install BuddyPress to allow people to login? Thanks in advance.
I took a quick glance at your site and noticed a few things. Mainly the style sheet from the theme you are using has a lot of conflicts with bbpress. It is going to take a lot of modification to make it look right within that particular theme.
*It is not the fault of the theme or bbpress that everything does not look right out of the box. It just happens that there are a few conflicts and as I don’t know your theme code I can’t tell how big a job it would be to fix.
No, I’m afraid you can’t use bbPress with WordPress.com since that service doesn’t allow the user to add plugins at all and the folks at Automattic have not seen fit to add the ability to create bbPress forums to their service. You’ll need a domain name, a web host, and copy of WordPress running on it.
Apologies in advance if this has already been answered – I couldn’t find it anywhere. If I have a WordPress free blog (xxx.wordpress.com) and I want to add a bbpress forum to it – is that possible via the plugin? Or do I need my own domain name?
If it is possible, could someone give me more detailed instructions about how to do it? Where do I upload the files to?
Or of course if this has been answered, just point me to the link.
Thanks!!
Follow that function up the stack to find where the date functions are. They are most likely exact copies of the WordPress one.
Once bbPress picks up more momentum, I’ll look into getting international sub domains setup. We have two on the table right now.
Can you say I must edit the core (I mean not any version) for show jDate or something else?
Cause I say that there is nothing in the themes function like WordPress themes that call date. In bbPress themes, we saw just calls from core like profile_base_content that have the member since date.
And do you support us in Persian bbPress project? Something like the Persian WordPress page (http://fa.wordpress.org)
Sorry but no. It directly violates the domain policy.
No additional new features are planned for bbPress 1.1.
It’s not what’s in the 1.5RC1 though is it? Because that looked like BBPress 1.0 
It works the same way as making a BlogPost.
Go to NEW Forum and on the right-side is a drop down menu that says: Visibility: Public you have two other options, Private and Hidden.
And for the User roles i have no idea, i’m also still working on that. But i think they work on how they are set in WordPress.
Prob. some other User Role plugins will work perfectly together with bbPress.

My question:
Why is it possible for a member (sigh a signed-up user) to go into the dashboard area and Edit all this posts to Private or Password protected?
I’ve tried it a few minutes ago and it will only hide or protect one post in a topic.
I don’t know if i like it or not …
I understand how to make a forum private when using the bbPress WordPress plugin, but I don’t see how to assign roles-based access. Do I need a plugin to do this?
It’s only a problem if you want it that way.
bbPress is going to keep its core taxonomy separate from WordPress posts. If you want to merge them together, it’s completely possible to do on your own.
I installed bbpress Plugin on my multisite without an issue and made a few preliminary forums in the main forums directory … that went with no issues at all.
When I went to create a support category and make a few forums under that category I get a page not found error.
Did I do somthing wrong in my installation or is this a common problem? Either way any idea how to fix it?
http://lchosts.com/forums is my forum if that helps at all
Thanks, I will wait for the plugin then. I have shut down the forums for now. I will experiment some more with them on my test system. Really like how bbpress looks and feels but I don’t really need a forum 
@tyskkvinna – Don’t have to install the forum portion of BuddyPress. bbPress 2.0 will automatically integrate with BuddyPress 1.5. The integration is limited for now, but automatic.
Ok thanks. Does the bbpress plugin use custom taxonomies for topic tags? Because if it just used good old tags (read old school taxonomy), wouldn’t my problem be solved?
Maybe a feature request/idea for future releases of bbpress.
Ok thanks for the reply. It’s just a pain dealing with the frustrated users in my forums. But I guess you know all about that 
Those topics were created via the WordPress dashboard. The post status is hard coded into the meta box, and password protected content is only loosely supported in bbPress 2.0. Someone is currently making a plugin that blocks admin posting which will prevent this in the future.
Akismet is tweaking the heuristics for bbPress 2.0, and will continue to do so as an ongoing thing. Traditionally WordPress posts are never scanned for spam, and bbPress is using the comment API to do it, in combination with some new information by way typically of being logged in.
bbPress 1.0 has always been a little prone to false positives. Once bbPress 2 officially launches we’ll start a topic here on how to report problems.
Hi,
I have the same problem as elmalak.
I would like to use a page to put my shortcode in – however if you do this then the links all revert back to the default forum slugs?

But bbPress.org.es why don’t you help with the official translation on glotpress?
You can find the Spanish one here https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/es/default
