I am a beginner to wordpress. I wish to implement bbpress to my custom theme http://www.soelvinvestor.dk in the “main page” area.
I have uploaded bbpress folder to my www/ area thru ftp which can be seen here http://www.soelvinvestor.dk/bbpress/ It seems to be working fine, however I cannot log into the “admin area” of bbpress. I have tried to register a new user and it shows up in wordpress administration.
Is there any way I can implement it into the design and not this “stand-alone” version of bbpress?
Refresh your permalink settings. This is fixed in the next version.
Links to new users profile are not working for me. Clicking a user link in a forum topic , results in a 404 error.
Example
Topic
http://discordgames.com/?topic=welcome
http://discordgames.com/?bbp_user=3
Works 
http://discordgames.com/?bbp_user=10
broke 
I wish I had more data to give , but I have little experience with bbpress and am not sure what line of code is being called.
Thanks!
@Doug – Awesome! Happy to have any help we can get

If you have a page set up as your front page in WordPress Settings->Reading, bbPress will use the title of that page.
If no front page is specified, then bbPress will use the default of ‘Home’, but you change this by modifying your translation. You can do this by including the following code in your functions.php:
add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_translations', 10, 3 );
function my_translations( $translation, $text, $domain ) {
if( 'Home' == $text )
$translation = $translations->translate( 'My Homepage' );
}
I hope this helps.

Yes, this should be possible with CSS and core WordPress post classes.
Just add something like this to your style.css:
.post.category-html h2 {
padding-left: 32px;
background: url(http://cdn5.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32/file_extension_html.png) no-repeat 0 8px;
}
.post.category-php h2 {
padding-left: 32px;
background: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32_0680/page_white_php.png) no-repeat 0 8px;
}
.post.category-css h2 {
padding-left: 32px;
background: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32_0300/css_valid.png) no-repeat 0 8px;
}
Then put your posts in categories of slug ‘php’,’html’,’css’.
*Note – You should also download the referenced icons/images to your server instead of linking to theirs.
Is there a way to pull custom icons in front of each post title under the forum section?
I’m assuming there is a page that shows the content of the PROFILE … and, using PHP, we should be able to choose which fields are shown. So, for each field we want to hide, we could do something like:
IF field_name exists, THEN “do not print” field_name
Unfortunately, I don’t know bbPress too well to know which pages to edit, and my PHP coding is VERY poor. Please help if you can. Thanks.
I just launched my website: http://www.taiwantalk.org/
Taiwantalk is a free discussion site for the international and English-speaking community in Taiwan. It was modified to look more like a Q&A/digg site than a traditional forum.
Thanks you very much bbpress Team for this awesome plugin.
I’ve been keeping notes as I’ve worked on importing a somewhat large bbPress 1.x install. I’d be glad to share what I have and help rework it a bit.
Ok was wondering if a post icon could be added to post. I would like to have icons for php css and html as well as a general wordpress icon and my site logo as an icon.
I have tried several plugins and they don’t seem to work. If this is not doable then no biggie was just thinking it would be nice to dress up the post some.
Yay! One more user of my plugin
OK, very thanks, it’s now installer.
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!!!
