Yes. Activate bbPress Network Wide, and it should do the rest.
What are the power features that bbPress has are they highly customizable? I am new here and i love to know the best.Please have some advice or comment then I’ll take the opinions that are real helpful.
I don’t know if whether or not it’d be something as simple as just copying code into my archive-forum files and such.
simplethemes,
do you do simple customization? I’m looking for a forum just like the one in your demo to be placed here:
http://www.theurbantwist.com/community
I’ve been reading the docs over and over again trying to figure this out but my page keeps spitting out blank outputs.
Made some progress. It appears I do not have the right syntax for: require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’)
my site is located in the httpdocs folder and my bbpress is located in a folder (named forum) located in the httpdocs folder along with my wordpress install.
Please advise…
(posting again so I could click to notify by email, sorry)
I’m trying to make bbPress private such that a person can register, but the registration has to be approved. I’ve searched and can’t find a topic on how to do that — and if there’s a plugin, I don’t know how to install it.
I use HostMonster as my hosting platform, so was able to just basically push a button to install bbPress, but other than that — I am not sure about plug ins.
Any help is HUGELY appreciated.

Hello all. SUPER new to bbpress. I have it installed and I am able to login with issue. problem is when I click on ADMIN to make changes, it redirects me to bb-login.php?re=/forums/bb-admin/ – which is the log on screen. I cannot get past this. Same thing happens if I choose log out.
What have I done wrong?
Hi there anointed. I assume that you are using bbPress 1.*. Let’s see what we got:
In bbPress the topic permalink is builded against site and not forum.
If I have a topic named ‘foo’ in forum ‘bar’ and then I create another ‘foo’ topic in forum ‘pub’ then the permalink will be automagically named foo-2 by the bb_slug_increment function.
You want:
/forum-name/sub-forum-name/post-name.html
You can’t achieve this behaviour with just an .htaccess tweaking. You need also to intercept the get_topic_link filter and change the link. Maybe also you will need to do something in the bb_repermalink function.
It can be quite challenging.
Maybe there is not a ready languagefile for Swedish to the beta rc3 yet?
OK. For the time being Akismet is out and Spam Free WordPress is in. Spammer Blocker is sidelined.
– It offers unattended removal of machine-generated spam
– It offers an IP blacklist
If It works for Comments I’ll turn bbPress back on.
I’ll let you know what happens.
Ok. This sounds like it will be difficult to do, but I hope maybe someone has the answer. I want to move some profile options that are under the edit of my bbpress profiles and move them to the buddypress profiles. I want to the options for signatures and the admin part to be editable and viewable in the buddypress profiles instead of the bbpress profiles. I know it’s possible with some coding, but I am not exactly sure where to move all this. Can someone help?
Aha 
Thanks, but if it doesnt activate automagically?
Maybe is because Im using Twenty Eleven Theme? (Theme does not natively support bbPress
You are using bbPress 2.0-rc-3.0.
But the forum is working in english.
Update – it appears that the bbpress forums slug defaults to page.php inside my template, since my theme does not offer bbpress support.
Without having to integrate the child bbpress theme, how can I simply make it display the forms available on something like say page-forums.php?
I tried a snippit to redirect page to page-forums but it did not work.
@adv_user
I understand the problem. I only posted the snippet to show you that you can make the changes via simple css.
Given enough time it would not be that difficult to use css in order to make all the changes you are after.
I would suggest reading up on css a bit as it will really empower you to make the changes you are after. It’s actually rather easy to learn and quite fun to play around with.
I wish you luck
Oh oh, you’re talking about the new bbPress plugin. You’ve to put the language file in /bbpress/bbp-languages folder and if your WordPress blog is already Swedish, then the translations would get activated automagically.
In /bbpress/bb-config.php, you’d find:
define( 'BB_LANG', '' );
at the very bottom. Change that to:
define( 'BB_LANG', 'sv_SE' );
That should work.
Hi!
I have downloaded and installed BBPress 2.0 rc3 with WordPress and it works fine. I would like to change to Swedish so I have uploaded the two language files (.po and .mo) to /bbpress/my-languages/. But I wont get Swedish. What am I doing wrong? Someone told me to edit the settings.php in /bbpress/ but I cant find it?
Thanks for helping me!
Hi, is there any chance to change Freshness values for localization purposes? Now, there is for example “5 days” and I need changing it to “5 days ago” due to localization problem (see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18495 ). Thank you for your help…

My website caches all spam after updating bbpress plugin for wordpress(I am not talking about independent bbpress).
I had to click spam on posts like you say before I updated, but now it works briliant.
Three weeks ago I set out to test bbPress with Akismet. Here is what I found.
– Akismet requires manual spam deletion under all circumstances
– Akismet cannot block by IP
– Akismet cannot prevent users from creating tags in bbPress. All bogus tags must be removed manually. It is not clear to me why users are allowed to create tags to begin with.
I took a fit this AM and turned off both WP Comments and bbPress. All I really want to do is create content. However, there is another part of me that is not ready to be directed by cockroaches.
I am wondering if Spammer Blocker will play well with Akismet. I am also wondering if there are other worthwhile strategies I have not yet found.
Comments?
Thanks anointed for taking the time to answer… that’s the info I as looking for!
I know this is probably an easy answer, but I couldn’t find a thread that explained it fully. I’m trying to install to a subdomain in my WordPress site. I add the folder to my “WP-Content>Plugin” folder, then activate it. However I don’t know how to make it point to my subdomain. I created the subdomain yesterday, so it should be active, I just don’t know if there’s a config file, or where in the WordPress settings I need to make the change. I’m installing bbpress ver 2.0, my main site is http://letterstoreason.com and the subdomain is http://forum.letterstoreason.com if that helps. I know it’s gotta be staring me in the face, I’ve just been Googling and can’t find the damn answer :S any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
