I have a template that is not compitablity with bbpress. When I go to http://www.domain.com/forums it uses the page.php template, which does not list the forums.
Without integrating anything, is it possible to drop page-forums.php into my template directory?
Sounds like a GMT issue. Will look into it.
Hi!
I’ve installed the BBpress 2.0 RC3 plugin for WordPress and it works fine. Sorry for a newbie question but how do you add a link to my forum on my homepage menu? I have Twenty Eleven theme and would like a link called “forum”.
Can I also have like mysite.com/FORUM?
Thanks! 
@johnjamesjacoby I am looking forward to being able to install BuddyPress on my site, which now uses bbPress 2.0.
A few hours ago, I saw there was a new RC avaiable, I checked the changelog and I found “BuddyPress integration”. I spent the last few hours trying to know what this means, because I installed buddyPress and it does not recognise bbPress plugin(both from the SVN repository).
Does “BuddyPress integration” mean that bbPress now provides an API for buddyPress but buddyPress is not using it yet?
If this is the case, I know I can have both v1 and v2 forums working(as I saw in buddyPress you testing website) but I don’t know if it worths, should I wait? Do you have any idea(more or less) about how long is it going to take you to make this integration?
Thanks and congratulations to the team.

the forums are on non public site.
When I post, the time stamp is correct, but the Freshness time for the post says 7 hours.
thanks
So how should my hierarchy looks like, i cannot create a good one…
What I did is:
1. I created a PAGE, and name it as ‘forum’
so the link would be http://mydomain.com/forum
-the content of that page is the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
2. I created a FORUM named General Discussions
-problem is when i open that forum, shows nothing, just the header
GENERAL DISCUSSIONS
3. I created again a PAGE named general chat and put the shortcode
[bbp-topic-form]
im pretty messed up, can you guide me on creating this forum
i have an idea, but seems i cannot explain and do it
something like
Thanks John, your reply is much appreciated.
Thanks Anthony too for your input.
I am going to install at the root level so hopefully this will resolve itself by doing that.
Hi,
A new update of the translation has been made for bbpress-2.0-rc-3.
Regards, François.
How do I download the .mo and .po files?
I want Swedish translation to BBPress 2.0 rc3.
Hi!
I’ve adapted the bbpress 2.0 plugin templates to my own theme…
…and works fine!
Take a look in http://www.vruiz.net/foros
Thanks for this unpayable plugin 
I have the same configuration. Under “BuddyPress Component Setup”, I disabled bbPress forum.
bb-config.php is only for standalone bbPress and not bbPress v2.0 plugin for WordPress.
if i activate my bbpress plugin beta 3, yes, in admin panel,
im getting the new menu there for adding forum and topics..
also, by defaul, bbpress creates a slug topics, forums, forum, topic etc.
but when you visit that page, it shows nothing but..
archives of “”,
and when i try creating a page and name it forums and add the short codes
its all the same..
what should i do?
I’m answering to the best of my ability, as far as I knew bbpress was a seperate project, like MU was. But after looking it is a plugin
@Anthony – bbPress 2.0 is a plugin for WordPress. Please don’t answer questions that you don’t know the answers to.
@soggybiscuit – You can turn off the root slug in the Forum Settings, but it might still get confused.
@Anthony – Not a bug with the plugin.
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.
Lori
