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.

I’m against the idea of using wp_register(); since it redirects you to wp-login.php to sign-up instead of using a registration page in the theme. Also, the idea with community sites like bbPress and BuddyPress, is usually to keep members out of the admin area. Promoting them to enter it seems counter intuitive.
Thanks, I missed the part where you mentioned integrating the register/login pages into bbP. Looking forward to more discussion and potential solutions on this.
Would wp_register() not actually display an admin link, since we’d only use it if ( !is_user_logged_in() )?
I figured it out.. uploaded another theme, edited and it works.. added some tweaks in the theme functions viola good combination

Remove the bb-config.php file at the root of your site. Chances are it’s getting in the way. Also there’s a meta entry you’ll most likely want to delete. If there’s anything in your wp_options table prefixed with “bb-” go ahead and delete those. Lastly, your bbPress install needs to exist in a folder that the server can access and that WordPress isn’t trying to control. This is typically a “forums” folder somewhere in your public_html folder, depending on your host.
The language files are different, but people are already translating 2.0 over at translate.WordPress.org.
Probably the place for it to get the most developer discussion is in the Trac. I’ll put it In the 2.1 milestone, since we’re already in beta for 2.0.
@jjj Thanks. I’ll try and find time to support any tickets for including login and register page settings in WP itself.
It does seem that setting up a decent bbPress forum will almost always involve installing other plugins too, and a list of the little issues that can be resolved by these should form part of the final FAQ/documentation.
I’ve found that the plugin Register Plus Redux mentioned earlier lets me change the emailed link and is generally pretty useful.
Given that by default the system is already using /wp-login.php as a login link unless overridden, it’s not exceptionally naff as I first thought for bbPress Login Widget to use that as a default and allow admin to override it.
So who/where do I nudge to get the bbPress Login Widget extended to include an over-ridable Register link when logged out?
@Paul – once again you’re right on target. Originally bbPress hijacked the WordPress login URL function, which proved problematic as there was no settting to to say WHERE that page lived. Same with the sign-up page. These functions of WordPress are not easily extended, but they can be completely replaced. Sadly, replacing them means recoding a great deal of them, which starts to take a great deal of time on something that does already exist and already has pluggable solutions in the form of WordPress plugins.
Assuming you’ve already added a blank page with the slug ‘forums’:
Change the page template to “bbPress – Forums (Index)”
OR
Include the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in your page text
Also, go to the Permalinks page if you haven’t recently so everything else works.

There are a number of other things you’re probably going to have to do. I’m working on a checklist.
