@jloosli – it seems like bbPress isn’t active for you anymore. Even http://powerofmoms.com/users/admin/ returns a 404.
I’ve got this..
(changed all linking files by adding a -4)
<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum(); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘bbpress/loop’, ‘single-forum-4’ ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Problem is i have to tell bbp_forums to only get and show forum ID 4.
I would like to list every forum ID on it’s own template like this:
My new Forum
Install (forum-ID=2)
troubles (forum-ID=4)
plugins (forum-ID=14)
Now i have given each forum it’s own ID and own template file by duplicating the original template file that bbPress uses for every forum ID and adding an it’s unique forum ID number behind it.
Everything is going fine the right files are been read the only problem i face is i can’t find a way to say only export forum ID-4 in ID-4 template file.
Now i get this on my homepage.
My new Forum
install (forum-ID=2)
install (forum-ID=2)
install (forum-ID=2)
troubles (forum-ID-4)
troubles (forum-ID-4)
troubles (forum-ID-4)
plugins (forum-ID=14)
plugins (forum-ID=14)
plugins (forum-ID=14)
I think i have to do something with WP Query’s i think?
But where, who and when?
Would be very nice if somebody knows the answer to this.
I’m having the same problem…I installed bbPress about two months ago and it worked right out of the box, then I got going on other things and just came back to work on it again and I can’t get the forums to display. If I go to the forum page, it has the title; but before, there was a listing of forums and I could navigate through to the topics. I’ve tried using the shortcodes and they work fine, but I’d like to get things working through the standard hierarchy (e.g. forums, topics, etc.).
I’ve cleared the cache, flushed the permalinks, and changed the name of all the slugs (they’re currently changed back to the default names), uninstalled, then reinstalled the plugin (but didn’t delete settings from the database). Also, I know I’ve updated the plugin at least once since first installing it.
Some sample pages:
http://powerofmoms.com/forums/ (should show listing of all forums, but just get blank page)
http://powerofmoms.com/forums/forum/general-discussion/ (should show topics for this particular forum. Shows description text, but no listing of topics)
I haven’t made any changes at all to the template yet…just wanting to get things working again. Any suggestions?
Hello anointed and thank you for trying to help.
I read what you told me in a forum so I tryied to keep the functions.php and the style.php from the custom template, I also deleted the theme from wp-content/themes and uploaded it again with the following steps: first the bbp-twentyten files and after it the theme itself in order to overwrite the bbp-twentyten files (style.php / functions.php) . I also checked what are the contents of the style.css and it is the contents of the custom theme. There might be something else that I am missing.
Thank you for trying to help though, really appreciated!
Update: This will be fixed in bbPress 2.0 final.
Well i have just installed bbpress, and I really do like the look and feel of it. The only couple of things I do not like are, it is not possible to add images to a post. I did try the bb-attachments plugin, but this threw up errors, so i had to remove it. The other thing i am not too keen on, and this is when members are logged in, they can go to the back end. I do not like embers going into the back end, it is confusing for them, plus it does not look very neat. It would be so much better, if it was possible to keep members on the front end, and add info to their profiles from there!
I found a way around it using Admin Menu Editor plugin.
It would still be nice to have an option within bbpress to control this.
Yes, if I remember correctly, groups are created as forums internally in bbPress and are sub-ordinate or children of a parent forum created by BuddyPress. When you’re done with your import, you can easily move out all of the forums from that parent and do a recount. Sorry for the late reply. 
I tried to do this and buddypress won’t let me integrate them– it looks for a bb-config file which apparently does not exist. Ideas?
Thanks BJ!
Unfortunately, though, that didn’t work for me. I still can’t access my templates on the admin page that creates forums, so I still can’t add a widgetized sidebar on the forum pages.
Sigh.
I found a problem,
I have a WP Multisite installation and when i log-in and log-out the redirect ends up on a 404 page. (only on WP multi sites)
http://localhost.sites/example.nl/members/example.nl/members/?loggedout=true
I’m just testing offline at the moment.
http://localhost.sites/example.nl/ <– WordPress homepage
http://localhost.sites/example.nl/members/ <– 2nd WordPress site (WPMU) with bbPress forum.
This is what i did and worked for me.
I do have a WP Multi-site installation but i don’t think it’s different on a normal WP install.
*My root
wp-content > themes > <first theme> <second theme> <twenty ten> <twenty eleven>
First theme is the theme i was using on my WordPress website.
After that i created an empty folder called second theme
I copy-/pasted all files from the bbPress plugin folder into the empty second theme folder i just created.
From:
*plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twetyten > All files and folders from here (without the bolded bbp-twentyten folder)
Now if you go into your style.css in the second theme folder you see that this one is empty and it says it will call the css > bbpress.css from the functions.php file. <– now also inside that second theme folder.
But at the top of this style.css file you see some theme info it just looks like some regular junk-talk (theme info) but it really isn’t junk-talk but very important, at the last line of code it says template name: (twenty ten) (if i remember correct) If you change that to (first theme) in my case and save it you’re done.
Now it will load first theme as a main theme and second theme as your child theme (with your bbPress files inside)
It’s very cool because if you add a new page from your admin you can also pick different bbPress page templates.
Example, you can create a new page and add from the template drop down menu (right-side sidebar) the login bbPress page template and you will get a login-page.
This is all i did and it worked out for me, the add theme support function i never added because it’s also inside the functions.php file in your second theme folder.
Hope this will help somebody here.
I’m very excited to use this great tool, but I would second what BJ and Dagnabbit said immediately above.
My child theme already has a functions.php file. Copying all the files from the /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten folder, as instructed, would overwrite the existing child theme’s functions.php file. How should we integrate them?
My goal is just to be able to put bbpress widgets in the sidebar of only my site’s forum pages. I think I need to create a template that uses a special sidebar for this. Right now, when I create forums in the admin section, I can’t access any of my other templates.
Thanks!
That did not work. I updated the bbpress/bbpress.php file to clear the cache.
After messing around with the bbpress settings, and then restoring it back to what I had it at originally.
I am not getting this displayed on the pages that weren’t loading all the way.

Hello, i’m french boy
I have installed plugin Forum bbpress in my WordPress website
and i have created more than 50 Forums, 79 forums
but i see in my page forum 50 forums ?
how i can do for to see more than 50 forums ?
Thanks
Which, I assume would be copying the existing shortcode function, modifying it to see fit.
Thank you…
So it’s a hook for WordPress and other plugins to work into this bbPress form..
You could create your own custom shortcode that does it.
Adding an action is add_action(‘bbp_template_notices’, ‘funciton_name’);
I used this bbp_template_notices action hook to print my post toolbar in earlier versions of the plugin. This is because I noticed that the do_action(‘bbp_template_notices’); was (in bbp-twentyten) near the post form, so each time the post form is displayed, the template notices action is run and the post toolbar is displayed.
InterMike,
Your site is awesome.
Can I ask which theme template you are using to integrate buddypress and bbpress?
Thanks!
I have a PHP class for jDate but I saw something in the core cause of that I asked. Now I must make a plugin for jDate
But your Docs are not very good and it’s hard to make it!
About regrading, you made vr.2 a plugin cause of that I get mistake 
We will wait! but if you add Automatic Update to bbPress for the first step it will be intresting! Can we port the WP one tp bbP?
امیرسام
I don’t see anything in bbPress core regarding jDate, and am unfamiliar with what it is. PHP has some jd functions for handling/converting Julian dates, but I’m afraid I cannot teach you PHP – it must be learned.
Regarding bbPress 1.0/1.1, we are still actively creating/supporting/maintaining all previous versions. Thanks for the offer, but we have everything under control.
Ditto here; same issue.
I’m a WP newbie and also recently installed the wonderful bbPress plugin. I too noticed that the subscription / notify feature doesn’t seem to work. I know that my WP instance is able to send email–I’m getting comment and registration emails.
As @ BJ, I found myself confused as well from reading the instructions. I have just recently assumed you move everything except the functions and css files. But would you add the functions or css o your existing files?
Clarification in the installation instructions would be great for those of us who are unsure.
Looking forward to getting this to all work. I have Buddypress 1.5 with the track template files for that running pretty well. I will be looking to integrate bbpress 2.0 with that.
Very glad to see both of these plugins come together after such a long time.
Nice work to those who make this happen.
Jay
It’s also worth noting that you need to make sure and create your own bbP theme if you are going to modify it.
If you edit the core theme that is inside the bbPress plugin directory you will lose all your customizations next time you update.
