Install the plugin just like any other wordpress plugin by adding it to the plugins folder and activating it.
It does not appear as a page as this is a complete system. The theme comes bundled with the twentyten theme and all the needed templates for it to work in that theme.
It uses the same db as wp. Basically beta2 uses custom post-types for wp, so it is about as native wp as you could ask for.
There is some type of importer script to ‘upgrade’ from the old forum system to the new one. Sorry, I am not familiar with it as I have not used it.
I do know that JJ is working on the import system to make it as user friendly as possible. Documentation will probably proceed the stable release.
The easiest solution is to install a members management plugin. One of the best out there is:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/
To use it, install the plugin, and then in the settings choose to edit the roles of a subscriber. You can then add the ability to create/read/edit posts in private forums.
Alternately you could also create a new group and give that group extended permissions to use the hidden forums.
Can’t find a Swedish translation set for the bbPress plugin in GlotPress, and it seems I can’t create one. Would be great if someone could set one up so we could start translation.

Will existing WordPress plugins work with bbPress 2.x? For instance, I’m looking for a rating plugin for bbPress 2.x. Can I use an existing WordPress plugin or a bbPress 1.x plugin? Or do I need to create a completely new one?
Hello,
I have the BBpress WordPress Plugin version installed on my WordPress site, and have found that from installation defaults, the lowest ranking user-role that can view the private forums is ‘Moderator’. The trouble with this, is that Moderators can edit other people’s posts, and I do not want all Users that can read and post in the private forums to be able to edit each other’s posts! Is there an easy way to change this? Ideally I’d want WordPress ‘Contributor’-level users and above to be able to view the private forums. I’d also like WordPress ‘Subscriber’-level users to be able to read the public forums but not post to them, but his is not as important, so no real problem if it cannot be done.
Sorry if this has been asked many times before, but I’ve read a bit about user-maps etc, but the discussions tend to be quite old and talking about the BBpress standalone, not the BBpress WordPress Plugin, so I am not sure if it works for the BBpress WordPress Plugin version(?). Just so you know, I am no kind of Coder – just an Animator – so am struggling with terminology etc. here.
I hope someone can help!
Thanks!
Wowow, major surprise here. Suddenly I feel like you´re talking about version two as something everyone is familiar with. And I struggle a bit to find out where I´m supposed to start.
First of all I think I will wait for the completed version, and skip the betas.
Heres my question:
How do you install it?
-Does it appear as a “page” in WordPress?
-Does it use the same database as WordPress?
-Can it use my old separate forum database, and automatically detect the users there?
-If it does, will this be the way to upgrade from “old” bbpress to the new?

@limited I liked your WPmimic bbpress theme and would go back if there was a WP theme for it. Basically what I really want is for the blog styling to look just like the forum styling.

Fartlek, thank you but is not a problem of widgets. I’m using Twenty Ten I can manage my forum index without sidebar using a custom template but only for the parent page. Each sub-page is using the default template provided by twentyten with his sidebar.
when i activation bbvido everything is normal
but it doesn’t work
if i select adminpage
them show this page
Page not found
There is no administration page at the requested address. Please check the address you entered and try again.
bbpress version is 1.0.3
Hallo, I’d like use a custum page template without sidebar, but BB Press always uses the default one for each sub-pages, how should I do? Thanks in advance.
You can not edit the profile (in bbPress 2 beta 1 and beta 2). I get an error: “Password can not be empty”, despite the fact that it does not change the password…
Even as I give a good password, the same message.
^ Is there a “report spam” function in bbPress?

@kai920 – I’m using the bbPress plugin, directly from WordPress. Anyway, guess the plugin is only a integration interface and not the Forum itself. I was not sure where the forum should be installed. Inside the wordpress directory or outside ? It was not a question about the plugin, but the forum.
I just did a fresh install (1st time) of bbpress into my WP installation. When I add a forum it creates it but it doesn’t appear in my list.
At the top of the forums page in wp-admin it states:
Forums
ALL (2) Published (2)
No Forums Found
It states they are there but I have no way to edit them? Same thing is happening to Topics. bbpress 2.0 beta 2b
hello ,
thank you for your work
i need a new option, wich is new user post’s post validation (for 2week, or 1month max) , the iam is ti prevent my forum forum spam…
thank you in advance
It would take a small plugin to piggy-back on top of bbPress. It would hook into the ‘bbp_has_replies_query’ filter, and switch the ‘order’ argument from ‘ASC’ to ‘DESC’.
Or, you can drop something like this in your functions.php file. (Note: Not tested, so this code might not actually work.) 
function bbp_reverse_reply_order( $query = array() ) {
// Bail if no query
if ( empty( $query ) ) return;
// Change the order
$query = 'DESC';
// Return the adjusted query
return $query;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_has_replies_query', 'bbp_reverse_reply_order' );
It works in some funny ways. Because core bbPress development has its own Trac and website, we only use WP extend for deploying new versions. The beta’s themselves are built from the development branch.
@Chrisdfr – if you are using the bbPress plugin (i.e. NOT the standalone), I would just download it directly from the WordPress backend by going to mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin. Then Plugins > Add New > Search for ‘bbPress’ and Install
