Have you guys been attempting this with subdomains or just folders on your multi-site installs?
This will be darn handy once we can use it on multi-site 
Actually, it’ll be darn handy before then too, but it’ll be super darn handy once we can use it on multi-site.
Is it possible that your original installation of standalone bbPress is messing things up?
That’s just a spit ball guess. I have minimal experience with BuddyPress and bbPress 2.0.
I’m just wondering if something might be left over and not removed correctly, and hence is interfering.
Have any of you tried importing large/medium sized bbPress 0.9/1.0 forums into bbPress 2.0? If so, did the migration go successfully, or were there a few hiccups in getting the data to port in one chunk?
I attempted to migrate a reasonably big forum this afternoon and it didn’t go particularly well. It threw an error (can’t remember what it said – need to attempt again) and locked me out of WordPress. The automated database backup worked well, so I was able to get it back up and working just fine though.
There’s around 115,000 posts and 44,000 users in the forum I was attempting to migrate.
I agree with you Ryan.
The trouble I am having is that BuddyPress and bbPress will each run happily individually, but when both are running together, the BuddyPress links do not work.
Has anybody managed to get both of them working together?
Is there something simple that I am missing?
I doubt there will ever be a private messaging system specifically for bbPress 2.0. Since it is a WordPress plugin itself, it makes far more sense to make a private messaging plugin for WordPress, rather than bbPress specfically since they would presumably work in exactly the same way.
The BuddyPress route that JJJ suggested above seems like the best option to me. There’s probably a bit of extra junk you need to load in the process, but BuddyPress is a known and well developed product so you at least know it will work well and won’t be riddled with security holes which was a problem with the original bbPress private messaging plugins.
Is there a private messaging plugin for bbPress 2.0 plugin branch?
I’ve just downloaded bbpm and it won’t run, i’m presuming it’s only designed to work with standalone bbPress?
Is there anything else recommended?

Will it become possible to use shortcodes from other plugins for WP?
For example the Polldaddy’s shortcodes for embedding polls and such.
Hi ,
I have been user the login widget however when I sign in to reply on a topic it redirects me to a page which lists all the topics under the same forum . Isn’t it logical for the user to stay on the same page to post a reply .
Hi Ricardo, in this example could I prevent user from contacting another user?
Hi
I’m a internet newbie, don´t know if its because english isn’t my primary language but what you need can be easily achieved with the example i gave before,
you want useres and admins to contact each other right? everyone that registers is a user, anonymous that don’t register dont get the PM function so its all good
am i missing something? user to admin and vice versa work “in theory”. i’m going to work now but i’ll test this tomorrow after work.
It’s just a simple css issue. If you can provide a link then I can track it down
This one is not resolved properly with regards to localization.
In bbpress.pot, the original strings are:
This forum contains %1$s and %2$s.
This category contains %1$s and %2$s.
Even translated, these phrases have hard-coded English words for topics and replies.
topics and replies for these phrases are, in other words, not present in the bbpress.pot file, and cannot be translated.
Hi guys, im new to BBPress but very impressed seeing it working in action on other sites.
I recently purchased a theme from themify.me (a really good builder of wordpress theme’s an loads more.
I installed BBPress onto the new theme (now this guy uses BBPress on his themify.me site and works a charm so his themes should be compatible he said.
The problem im experiencing is that the main forum looks correct and the right size but the sub forums and the topics are all crushed up over the left side of the screen and ive no idea why. There is no custom coding here so im clueless?
Here are some screen shots, can somebody point me in the right directions please?
Cheers
Steve

Have been facing a number of issues with themes :
1. Twenty ten and the child theme that comes packaged with the plugin
The fourm listing page does not show up . ( The page with all the main forums .
2, Under theme compatibility I face similar issues
Though with Erudite theme the links for the main forum did show up on the main forums page.
3. Lets say I want the forum to show up on a sub-domain?
4. Wouldn’t it be just easier to have the option to have a separate theme just for forums ?
Example just go to the dashboard and enable a theme specifically for
the bbpress forums as one does for multi site ?
5. Are you planning on stopping development for the standalone bbpress installation ?
Thanks, but that’s not quite right, I want users to be able to contact admins and vice versa.
I think that if I set user quota to zero they would not be able to contact admins
you can assing a quota to users, if you just want admins just assign a quota to them and disable the quota to the others…see the screenshot:

It looks like a nice simple solution thanks Ricardo, but from reading the comments on the FAQ page, there doesn’t seem to be any way of restricting conversation between user level. I need to be able to restrict messaging just from user <-> admin.
Just read the FAQ for that pluggin and in theory it should work with bbpress and wordpress and it has what you want (levels and quotas etc) it even offers a template for it instead of using the admin panel to check messages.
i don´t use buddypress… perhaps someone else might help…
Thanks Ricardo, but I was hoping for a solution that I could just ‘drop in’ and would be more fully featured.
I’d like to prevent subscribers from being able to message each other, but they can send and receive messages to a higher level user.
BuddyPress seems quite fully featured, it’s just frustrating that it seems to be clashing with bbPress.
I’d be happy if I could just get those two playing with each other and then I can go from there..!
Is there a private messaging plugin for bbPress 2.0 plugin branch?
Not sure but since bbpress uses the wordpress “users data” won’t PM pluggins designed for wordpress work with bbpress?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-messages-for-wordpress/
a link on the forum ponting to http://www.domain.com/wp-admin would take users to their outbox. Not a complete and integrated solution but i think it works untill a full pluggin is developed or we could ask that pluggin developer to create shortcodes that show on bbpress if there are new messages or not and a link to see them.
Hello,
I downloaded and installed bbpress few minutes ago. I did the integration. The authentication is working successfully. But in bbpress posts are not visible. I’m able to see the post counts, but under the topic and in the admin panel there are no posts. When I post a new topic, I see the topic but when I click on it, there seems no posts under it. I also took some screenshots.
Here they are:

In screenshot one, you’ll see the topics, and the post counts.
In screenshot two, you’ll see the topic but there is no post.
Thank you.
How can I enable forum search on a working 2.0 installation? The site-wide search doesn’t give hits for forums topics or replies.
Hi there, i’m going to have another try at getting bbPress and BuddyPress to work together with your help if possible.
Is there a certain order that they should be installed in?
Am I best asking for help on the BuddyPress forums rather than bbPress, or is this a fairly frequently asked question that I could get some help with here?
Thanks!
Ashley
