@ghostchoja – It seems like you are trying to use a bbPress 1.0 theme with bbPress 2.0. bbPress 2.0 uses WordPress themes, not bbPress themes.
SOrry Tom, I didn’t understand any of that mate 
The bbpress 2.0 install theme bbp-twentyten and not functioning properlly. the pgn seems to missing or corrupted and does show on the install theme page in wordpress. I have not looked any of the code so i do know if there is also a code problem.
As it turns out – although I deactivated and removed plugins, the WordPress plugin ‘W3 Total Cache’ leaves remnant files in wordpress’s ‘mysite.com/wp-content/’ directory that conflict with the Deep Integration.
Upon explicitly removing those ‘W3 Total Cache’ plugin .php files ~ I was able to reinstall bbpress and Deep Integrate successfully.
Just to make your insight a bit clearer here’s what I’ve done thus far and the dead-ends I’ve encountered:
Below I have used the instructions with the Static Red Theme:
2. Installation
Quick guide:
1) If this is your first custom theme, you will have to create a directory called “my-templates” inside
your bbPress root directory
>>>The only BBPress directory I could find was in the WordPress ‘plugin’ directory. This gave me:
/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/my-templates<<<
2) Upload entire static-red/ folder to your my-templates folder
>>>Yep, did that<<<
3) Activate the theme from your ACP under Appearance
>>>This does not show anything relating to any of the BBPress themes I have installed <<<
Hi JJK…
I too am losing my mind with BBPress… I’ve been using WordPress for some time and run a site for my photography business.
I’ve just built a games site for a bunch of fellas who enjoy gaming and we’d like to use WordPress and BBPress to get a swanky forum going.
I installed BBPress as a plugin and all seemed well until I went to the ‘Themes’ page which reads: ‘Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.’
I’ve scoured the Net and found no answers to this issue. Can you please help so I don’t lose anymore hair?
Many thanks!
I am having exactly the same problem! I’m amazed at the lack of clarity around getting BBPress to work with WordPress.
Oh no wait… I’m not.
Hope someone who knows can post something useful in here.
Cheers
No I said I managed to get it to work. How ever when visiting the page with the topic or forum its a WordPress page. When NOT using that code snippit i got the 404 page
I don’t understand your sticky post on how to make a theme (I am assuming WordPress themes can be created into) compatibility with bbpress.
for what I understand of that sticky since I am the author of my theme I go into the bbpress default theme and copy all the files out of there and paste them into my theme. This would over ride things like my css, functions and possibly other files. what would you suggest to do to get around this (instead of creating a child theme).
So here is what I did – as I read the sticky like 10 times:
I copied all the files, except for the style and the functions.php and pasted them into my theme. these are the files from the from the bbpress default theme and pasted into my current wordpress theme. I then added the php code snipit to my functions.php like the sticky states. I then activated it (the theme) and went to where the forums should be. I am now getting 404 errors.
ideas?
I was confused by the sticky hence why I asked. Also so since I didnt do that and this is a wordpress theme how would I make it so that bbpress seamlessly integrates with it? if possibly? because with out this line I get 404 pages when going to the forum section…
Only add that line if YOU have taken control of bbPress’s theming with a custom theme. Meaning, YOU have physically created all the files bbPress expects. If you haven’t, don’t tell bbPress you’ve added add theme support. This is outlined in the sticky topic at the forum index.
I have a single install of bbpress, no other plugins and i am using a theme in which I placed: add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); in the functions.php file. When creating a forum and testing it out I am taken toa page where I get a 404 error….
this theme is a wordpress theme. I managed to get it to work….No not really. the forums do not seem to work properly with ordinary wordpress themes. is there no smooth integration between the two?
use order. if your in bbpress use order.
When using BuddyPress with BBpress, it acts all screwy…
[bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-topic-form] both show “BLOG ARCHIVES NOT FOUND” when I use those short codes:
http://montecristoowners.com/topics/
[bbp-login] and [bbp-lost-pass] don’t work at all. Just show the title of the page … with no content at all.
[bbp-register] is the only one that works, pointing the user to registration page.
If you have pretty permalinks turned on (eg mysite.com/about instead of myside.com/?p=14) bbPress should automatically configure mysite.com/forums by default.
It’s possible you need to “flush” your permalinks for this to take affect. To do this just go to the Settings > Permalinks page, merely navigating to the page will trigger the flush.
Assuming your theme using the WP Menu system you should be able to just go to Appearances > Menus and add a link to the forums that way.
Have you tried using one of the shortcodes to generate the forum index?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
It looks like your theme is displaying the forums with an archive view instead of using bbP’s forum view.
Alright, marking this as done.

Hi,
I had a user complain that he had finished writing a long post and after trying to publish it, he got a message saying “post to old” and lost all he had written.
I’m wondering if there is a setting I need to change so this doesn’t happen again? I’m using bbPress 1.0.3. Thanks in advance for your help.
I need a lot of help. I installed bbPress, and figured it would ask me configuration during the process… it did not.
I have 2 problems:
1) I dont know how to set up a link in my menu bar for my forum.
2) I assumed it would ask me where I want to forums to exist to the outside world. I want them at http://www.mysite.com/forums. but I have no clue where it stuck them.
the mysite.com is running wordpress right on it. A lot of the helpo I have found involves editing PHP code. While im a net geek I cant read PHP greek speak.
Its a freash install so I dont need to worry about breaking thread links and the likes. Please help.
I’ve added the following to my theme functions to include topics, posts and replies in search result:
// Add Forums, Topics and Replies to search results
function my_add_bbp_to_search( $post_type ) {
$post_type['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $post_type;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );
My frustration is that my search results are flooded with replies whilst I would prefer to only show each topic once. I’m willing to write a plugin to implement this “GROUP BY parent” logic but I’m not too sure how to approach the problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the filters that I need to intercept?
So I have bbpress 2.0 rc4 installed.
I also have buddy press 1.5 (the latest build from trac) installed.
How do I keep the discussion forums enabled in buddypress and use the forums of bbpress like how you guys have the sample site set up?
What are the steps?
@WebEndev:
I am so sorry for you! I hope I could help you out soon. I got mine working with Jared’s plugin patch – I just experimentet with his code line for the layout option and have all working like I want it.
My above report you quoted was regarding the patch from John for bbPress core which was not working at that time (or the last time I tested it a few days ago…). So I am sorry if you got confused because of my report…
Please have also a look here and especially for Nathan’s posts:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1622
I hope this helps a bit right now. I am knee deep in important client work and might get back later here on…
-Dave 
Hi Jared,
I followed each of your suggestions yesterday, and was only able to get a full width layout using one method – create a page and use a bbpress shortcode. This leaves me with less than optimal control of the page.
Every other method I tried resulted in a content-sidebar layout.
I followed your advice and removed all bbpress template files from my child theme directory, removed all bbpress code from functions.php, and essentially reverted back to the bbpress plugin vanilla/’out of the box’, along with your extend plugin.
What that resulted in was a content-sidebar layout….
I assume that Dave (above post) is having the same layout issues based on this – “I assume the issue is from a wrong setting of the layout option?? Or some other function?”
It seems that you are the only one to get it working…
So… I am at a loss on this one…
Thanks!
I may have found out what the issue is, if you set up forums for buddypress what happens is it asks you to do a new installation of bbpress and because of that i dont think this plugin will work….
Also, I’m using BBpress 2.0, and haven’t enabled the BuddyPress forum component. So, BBpress should be handling the forums, and the order, correct???
