Thanks for both replies.
So the bbPress beta 3 would be OK for a production site?
But just now it does not do file auploads/attachments?
And there is not yet a file upload / attachment plugin for it?
Anyone know about how resource hungry it is in a WP3.2.1 system with a few other plugins?
Thanks
@vladoa – It sounds like the theme you’re using is conflicting with the way that bbPress is trying to prevent the comments form from appearing. Curious what theme you’ve got?
Always more useful to test the trac version than the releases. The trac version is the most up-to-date code available.
No timeline, but the sooner the better. 
i think the new version is too muhch… nobody need a other font.
Ok thanks that got it. I was able to get an image in there and it looks real good

Let me know how it looks
I just installed the bbPress plugin and I’m able to add forums and topics, but on the front end when I try and view them, I’m getting the following: This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
What am I doing wrong? I tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling and no luck.
Any suggestions?
The site I’m working on is located here: http://all-naturalkids.com/dev/
Thanks!
Anybody want to make a Plugin that lets a moderator or administrator edit posts inline – I guess its possible that Scribu’s inline editor already supports bbPress CPT’s but if not… then I’m open to commissioning this project.
FOR THE LOVE OF WORDPRESS!!!
I see, then your best bet is to just leave the text header as-is and add a background image attribute to the #header selector.
change:
#header {
clear: both;
margin-top: 16px;
}
to:
#header {
clear: both;
margin-top: 16px;
background: url(http://www.url.com/path/to/image.png) no-repeat right center;
}
…obviously replacing the URL to the image with one of your own.
Actually I want to keep the text there as well. Sorry I am really being unclear today. Must because I am tired.
Been reading wordpress stuff and messing with my site since 5am. I know there is not much content there but want to get it visually and feature wise laid out before putting up more content.
If you go to “Theme Options” and select “Display a custom image/logo image in place of title header” you can upload an image or paste the URL to one from your media library.
Below that, you can set your logo width and logo height. You should resize the image prior to uploading so it doesn’t look choppy. The size is up to you – depending on the orientation of your logo graphic.
To align it to the right, you’ll need to edit the style.css.
Find:
#header .inner {
padding-top: 15px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
and change to:
#header .inner {
padding-top: 15px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
float:right;
}
Glad you like the theme
Next Question. I am in the process of creating a small graphical logo. I would like to know what would be the best size to make and also how to get it right aligned in the header.
BTW did I mention I really like this theme. Clean and all.
I understand it gets registered and it does show up. I added a text widget to that area. It doesn’t show up on the forum sidebar
Sorry if I was unclear.
I will try what you have posted and see if that fixes it.
I just did what you said and its working fine.
I’m interested… I tend to underestimate my abilities and sell my self short. But my post toolbar has been a big confidence boost.

You should be able to add any widget to the ‘Forum Sidebar’ location.
If bbPress is installed, this widget location gets registered:

If it isn’t showing up, make sure it isn’t commented out in the forum templates you want it to show in. I only enabled it in the templates I felt were necessary (like the member pages).
On some of my forum pages I wanted a wide page, but you can certainly change it.
For example, to change the forum home page template, open archive-forum.php in the theme editor and just uncomment this line:
// get_sidebar('bbpress');
Then, in functions.php find this line:
// force wide on bbPress pages
if (is_bbpress()) {
$columns = 'sixteen';
}
and change ‘sixteen’ to ‘eleven’ to accommodate the sidebar.
I made a post toolbar, but its not wysiwyg or tinyMCE. Just buttons to add html and shortcode tags.

I installed this theme and its pretty nice. One question I have is I wanted to added a widget to the forum sidebar but it doesn’t show up. Any idea what I need to do to get it to show up?

1. Yes it is possible. Depending upon what you want to display, I would start by looking at the widget code for bbpress to see how they are pulling out the most recent topics and apply that to your theme home page.
2. Not by default but there will be changes on that in the future.
Definitely use the v2 plugin. It is very stable, and while there are not a lot of plugins available for it at the moment, there will be.
pimarts –
Which redirection plugin are you using?
Thanks
I can’t help you with your first question but you can’t use the 1.x plugins for 2.x, they work differently. Just search the WordPress plugin repository for bbpress to find the latest/newest plugins that work with bbpress 2.x
v2 file uploads > No.
v1 to v2 > Probably.
extra system requirements > I have no idea.
I don’t know, but what I’m doing now (as a workaround) is using the redirection plugin for WordPress to re-direct the bbpress profiles to the BuddyPress profiles. So I’m only using the BuddyPress profiles at the moment. Works great.
I really don’t have the time at the moment, otherwise I might have given it a go. I’ll try to keep responding to the questions that hit these forums though.
Did see a lot of updates in trac the other day, nice one. Is it useful if I test the latest version in trac on the beta version of my site, or should I just wait for the final version to drop?
What’s the timetable on this documentation thing by the way? Others might want to know too. When do you want to start it and when do you need it ready?
