@JJJ There are already 4300+ downloads of the beta in the past 10 days (because it’s on wordpress.org) and the twitter volume about it has exploded. There is going to be a surge of questions. I’m just suggesting you get ahead of the wave.
If your theme isn’t compatible, there isn’t anything more bbPress can do. You need to talk to the theme author and ask them to update it.
Found out it’s got something to do with my earlier conversion from phpbb to bbpress standalone. But it still got me confused:
All the logins work perfectly after the first conversion (phpbb > bbpress 1.0), but after conversion from 1.0 to 2.0 all the logins block. Only accounts newly created in 1.0 get through in 2.0.
In the database there’s a visible difference between logins from phpbb (start with $H$7) and bbpress 1.0 (start with $P$9). Since there is no login error in bbpress 1.0 I don’t think it’s a problem with the phpbb conversion (used this converter recommended somewhere on this forum).
Can someone give me a hint on how to solve this?

Most likely it is just a matter of adjusting some css rules, as with the plugin you don’t actually assign page templates to the forums.
*I am assuming you are using the bbpress plugin

I would also like to know this.

The topics tag template may still be a bug in the plugin. JJ was looking into it for me as I had the same problem.
*I do not have the 404 in my body tag on the user/view pages. I am also using a custom template on a subdomain wp install. That part ‘may’ be unique to your setup
–trying to save you some time
Read through the sticky topics here. It sounds like your theme isn’t compatible with bbPress, or something isn’t configured correctly.
Ok after 10 min it seemed to start working and the 404 errors went away… but I have to say the 2.0b WP pluging forums do NOT look like what I would expect a bbforum to look like. They don’t look like this forum that’s for sure. It looks more like a WP site that any registered user can add articles to. Not sure that is what I was looking for. I’d like to have what LOOKS like a bbforum… is the bbpress 1.x what I should install?
I’ve been running WP sites for a while and have 1 site I use for testing. I installed bbpress as a plugin, and see all the admin screens for it in WP. But am I supposed to install 1.x as well on that server or something? no pages show up when I go to naftulyev.com/forums or any other auto generated forum paths… I get 404 errors. So did I do a partial installation and need to install something else???

I’ve copied the template files across to the theme. There’s only minimal adjustments been made. It’s on my local machine, so can’t provide a link. Here’s a bit more info. It’s on a subdomain on a multisite installation.
Just found out that the topic tags template never shows any topics and there’s quite a few tagged topics.
I’ll dig a bit deeper into the code and let you know when I find something.
Just making sure since you said “trunk” 
What theme are you using? Can you link me to your site to see what’s happening? I just checked my installs with bbp-twentyten or using theme compat, and can’t duplicate.
SVN plugin branch. This is a topic for it after all 
Are you using trunk for standalone, or SVN plugin branch for WP plugin?
On the user and view pages the body tag has a class of error404, which kinda messes with the layout on my particular setup. I’m using the latest SVN trunk of BBP and the latest trunk of WP 3.2.
@moshimuncher – I don’t see any bbPress powered forum content on that site at all.
@_ck_ – Doubtful. For the small volume of topics per day that come in, I don’t see the point of forking our own forums.
I am trying to integrate the theme found at http://edge.unispheredesign.com/. As you can see, whenever you are on a page, the theme highlights the correct page in the top navigation bar.
Does anyone know why when on any bbpress page, the theme thinks that the user is on the “blog” section? Suggestion on where to begin bug hunting?
So, before bbpress.org is completely overrun with 2.0 questions, becoming intermixed with the six years worth of standalone knowledgebase (thereby making useful searches impossible) are y’all going to make a sub-forum for it or not?
I just downloaded and installed bbPress 2.0-beta-2.3 so that I may use it’s forum capabilities in BuddyPress (downloaded the latest version today). However after activating the bbPress I can not access my website – I get the message as follows :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_post_type_archive() in /home/bodyw/public_html/healthworks/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 446
Does anyone have the slightest idea of what this may mean ? I have tried deactivating all my other plugins to make sure there is no clash but same result. i am using WordPress 3.1.3
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks John. I’d like to help translating to Turkish but Turkish is not on the list. How can I add it to list?
To link to your forum from your wordpress site you have to add a bbPress widget to your sidebar. Pages have nothing to do with bbPress.
