It was possible with an older version of bbPress. I don’t think it’s possible with 2.0 yet, but I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a plugin created for it in the near future.
I think you’ve moved beyond where I can be much help. Hopefully JJJ will chime in.
Look at the WordPress PM options at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/. You shouldn’t require a plugin specific to bbPress.
@Trifon – Thank you. I expected it to show up in the WP auto update.

I’ve been running RC1 for two days now. It has been a pretty silent release, I couldn’t find any news about it, other than JJJ’s post in this thread.
Is it possible to use bbPress (2.x) for blog post comments on WordPress instead of the normal WP comment system? I seem to recall this being possible in older versions of bbPress, but perhaps I am mistaken.
is there a way to connect a pm plugin with the bbpress 2.0 ? pm must be sent from frontpage without log in to /wp-admin/
@dobralog – The goal is the same time as WordPress 3.2 which is scheduled for Thursday. I don’t know if either is on schedule. I assume WP is close since RC2 is out. bbPress was supposed to have an RC out 3 days ago, but I haven’t seen it yet.
Egh, that screws up some topic posting permissions.
Hmm. Well, I came up with a hack for my hard coded archive-forum.php. I threw:
$wp_query->query_vars = null;
in before any of the bbPress code and that seems to make it stop thinking it’s in a forum. It works but it’s ugly.
Thanks again Andre.
The best suggestion I have is to keep the page “forum”, make the base “forums”, and make the single slug “forum”.
I hope there are some more options for this on the way.
Okay, new problem:
I made a /forums/ page with those two shortcuts in it and it works fine as long as I rename my forums base archive slug to something other than forums. Otherwise the contents of archive-forum.php display instead of my shortcode page.
This would be fine except it replaces /forums/ in all the URLs with whatever I specify as my forums base archive slug. Any ideas?
I hard coded it so I could get some more control over it but perhaps that’s the issue, good to know it’s in there though. I’ll hack around and see.
I created a page and put [bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-topic-form] as the content. It’s letting me choose the forum and topic type. Is this the method you used or did you hard code it?
(I’d give you the URL to the page I created, but I don’t think it would do any good since you can’t login so you won’t see the create a topic form.)
Thanks Andre — working good here now, though I’ve switched to a custom template page now that I see how it works. My next (and hopefully last) question:
On my topics index page I’ve included the form-topic template so users can create topics from that page. The topic form however seems to have no functionality for choosing what forum to post in so it defaults to one of them. Is there a way to fix that?
Thanks again.
OK I found the problem. the theme calls the sidebar(s) in the footer also.
Hi
I hope to find an answer here. I write to WordPress, to bluehost, everywhere and anybody answer to me. I explain my problem:
I must re-install all my website, and it’s impossible to have on-site
registration box, on the right column in the begin. I try all since for
days. Only invitations run. But I want register members who want to take
part on this platform.
The page of BP Compability, this sentence is:
“Navigation Links
“You may want to add new navigation tabs or links to your theme to link to
BuddyPress directory pages. The default set of links are:
Register: http://www.faicmfsf.org/register/ (registration must be
enabled)”
But I look at for this file, I don’t find it. I made a special page for
regster too, but it didn’t run. For all other files for register, they are
all active, it’s ok. Just one on “BuddyPress / pb-core / pb-core-
signup.php (inactive)” What I must to do.
I want to put widgets for register, but anyone run. Sorry for my bad
english.

I’m using a wpmu install using wp 3.1.3 and bbPress 2.0-beta-3b
Can I set the home page to the forums or do I need to modify the index to show forums instead? Brand new to bbpress pretty seasoned wp developer.
Thanks for your help!

* Does that tag actually have topics in it
Yes
There has to be a way via CSS, but I don’t know what it is. Hopefully one of the more experience people will point you in the right direction.
Create a page and put “[bbp-topic-index]” as the content. That will make the page list the topics.
Someone reported having trouble with that function here – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbp-topic-index-does-not-function-properly-at-certain-circumstances.
I want to make a forum theme and functionality similar to the one on bbpress.org now.
I especially like the avatars also!
what is needed to duplicate this simple yet beautiful theme?
In bbPress 2.0 is there a way to get all the topics on one page like in the forums here? Right now it seems to default to showing you a list of forums at /forums/ but I’d rather visitors see a list of all the topics. Thanks!
is there a way that i can allow inline images on a bbress wordpress plugin install?
