I am trying to create a custom theme for the bbPress Plugin (v 2.0-beta-2b) using the steps outlined in the Theme Compatibility Post (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility).
The original WordPress theme was created by me so I am following the steps in method #2 in the Theme Compatibility post. I copied all the files in the plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten into the root of my theme (themes/[my-theme]). I made sure to include the single- archive- and page- files.
I also added theme support to the functions.php file in my theme folder:
add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );
However, on the forums main page (/forums), I see the main forum index multiple times. It looks like each forum I have created is being shown as a post and under each post the forum index is being shown.
Am I missing a crucial step in getting the custom bbPress theme setup?
Thanks for your help.
How’s that for quick!! Good stuff, and thanks again for the work on the plugin!
Do you have any other plugins activated that might be causing this?
Thanks @Rev. Now fixed in what will be Beta 3, which I’ll put out tomorrow.

Apologies on the delay. I was out of town until today. I really have no idea what I’m doing in the trac system, I hope what I’ve submitted is acceptable
bbPress Plugin Version 2.0-beta-2b
WordPress Version: 3.1.3
Whenever I am creating a new category or forum, I always end up with a duplicated category or forum and it is always nested for example:
Category 1:
-Forum
–Forum
And if i edit it, it adds another category or forum.
I’ve even deleted all the categories and forums and the same thing happens.
I’m confused as to what is going on.
Just found what I think is a small bug.
If a member posts in a topic, and the admin splits that topic to move it to a new topic of its own, the “freshness” for that topic is still showing the latest poster as the other member, and they and their avatar are also still shown as the last person to post in that topic when viewing the topic.

i’d like to add to this if possible, as i think i’m encountering the same problem as leemon. if my custom theme is doing a bit’o hijacking with the css, where would i find and disable this body class code?
It looks like you got it figured out as the forum is stretching all the way to your right sidebar. Site is looking quite good.

Hi guys
New to bbPress but have developed a couple WordPress sites.
My latest project needed a forum so I decided to give bbPress a try. First installed WordPress, then installed bbPress into its own directory (permaculture-bb-forum) and did a deep integration. THEN found out WordPress bbPress plugin, installed it, activated it and now see bb stuff in the WordPress admin.
Unfortunately, that interface shows nothing of the posts/topics/forums setup in bb-admin and stuff added via WordPress dashboard does not show up in the bb.
What’s this all about? Can the plugin <i>NOT</i> be used if you first have already installed bbPress? Are there any docs, videos on this?

Hiya guys, im using bbPress 2.0 and i was wondering if it was possible to have an avatar gallery with it? Or somehow use an Avatar gallery? Would i need to find a plugin from WordPress? Or is there some other way to do it?!
Thanks!

Hey thanks, that helped.
Now here’s another issue. I first installed WordPress, then installed bbPress and did a deep integration. THEN i found out about a WordPress bbPress plugin, installed it, activated it and now see bb stuff in the WordPress admin. Unfortunately, that interface shows nothing of the posts/topics/forums setup in bb-admin and stuff added via WordPress dashboard does not show up in the bb.
What’s that all about? Can the plugin not be used if you first have already installed bbPress?
Thanks
zaerl you didn’t say anything for my sad mood..?
OK, your solution is really difficult for me… Can you make it more easy? I cannot write a plugin, that’s why I’m here to looking for your kind help… can you do it for me? I’ll really appreciate.
I’m also frustrated from bbPress as Plugin like other senior bbPress developers. But I hope there will always remain a good space for bbpress standalone lovers. Matt cannot ignore it. I hope
— OK, let me ask above question with another angle…
Is it possible to make pagination just for forums on a custom page? if it is difficult to show on front page? something like
http://www.blog.com/forums/view-all-forums.php ? – just an idea?
—
And I just thought that I’ll also need pagination for forums in admin setting and for zearl visiblity setting near future when I’ll have thousands of forums. (user/forum)
Please see the following screenshots, to understand what I’m taking about..
— For Forums Pagination in Admin Setting — Screenshot
— For Forum Pagination in Zaerl Visibility setting — Screenshot
—
I know its a little big job for you. But can you do it for me? It’s really important, I’ll really appreciate your kindness if you will make a plugin or easy script for this solution.
— and I also know your time is really precious, And time is money… can you give me your personal contact email? So that we can discuss about it further?
I hope I’ll try to mange your time. Thanks Again.
Hi all
New to bbPress so appreciate your patience in pointing me to a post on the basics of this software. Familiar with the dashboard and created several forums. Only “moderator” and a Ride Share that have 3 child topics seem clickable. Can’t choose any other forum to assign posts to in post edit.
Thanks for your leads

I’d use a custom taxonomy, and a creative UI. Seems it could be done pretty easily with the right developer.
OK thanks guys, I shall keep my eye out for any developments on this! For now, I shall simply get people to vote on a topic by replying with a ‘Yay’ or a ‘Nay’!
Not that I know of, especially considering the bbPress plugin hasn’t officially been released yet.
So in summary, there is currently no voting/polling system that can work with the bbPress-Plugin?
…. I am just not able to understand the integration stuff… it is beyond me… just wanted to make a nice clean forum and thought I did what was required.. but it does not show. I have the details in the admin side bar of wordpress.. but nothing on the page I made… and when I try to add the widgets to the sidebar, I still have no success… please help me!
