If I go to Dashboard > Appearance > Editor and I have the plugin for bbpress installed, where do I go to edit the background color? This is for the basic TwentyTen that comes with the bbpress plugin. Is it the style.css file? That seems like a very short file.
I hate to keep bringing up Buddypress integration, but by “not directly” I assume that means the new version of Buddypress and its groups will still be based off the old stand alone bbpress?
And when the two plugins are installed separately (Buddypress and the new bbpress plugin) a user’s bbpress activity is not yet built to feed into the Buddypress activity stream/wall/wire/whatever?

@Kalman – If you’re already using a child theme, you’ll want to copy everything out of bbp-twentyten (except functions.php and style.css) into your child theme. You will want to merge the contents of your functions.php file with the one from bbp-twentyten. Because child themes are inherently different, you’re forced to make these play nicely on your own.
>>If this is not a custom theme under your control (meaning you are not the author) you’ll want to copy the entire “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder into your themes folder, rename it to something else, and modify your style.css to make it a custom child theme of whatever your current theme is. <<<
OK. Retracted my previous efforts after realizing I probably misinterpreted the directions, and just freshly installed the twentyten folder (as suggested above) into my themes folder and renamed it. So … at this point, how do I modify the style.css to “make it a custom theme.”?
Thaaaanks
i hate asking for help with opensource (free) software, but i can’t seem to resolve this via the issues presented by others. which sucks, because that’s my normal course of action …
my problem: going to mandressed.com/forums results in just the display of my Home page. Choosing to ‘View’ a forum displays the following: mandressed.com/?forum=mandressed-forum
i’m using a wordpress theme developed by another provider (themefuse), and it involves their own framework. and i’ve followed john’s theme compatibility post by doing the following:
-copied all files from bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten into my theme folder (/wp-content/themes/lifestyle), including single-forum file, etc etc, and creating a /bbpress/ folder within it for the single bbpress css, respective js file, etc.
-i am admittedly confused by the ‘modify your style.css to make it a custom child theme of whatever your current theme is.’
maybe that’s the dilemma.
if i’m missing the obvious or you guys can’t respond, that’s cool. normally i have a lightbulb moment and resolve it in time. just asking for some direction.
thanks,
nate
What do you guys think about adding wp_register(); to the login widget?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register
knottsav, I just realized I have the same problem only on my own site. I thought it was a bigger issue but it works just fine here. I think we’re experiencing a glitch somehow.
qzplx: For theme integration, you can either do deep integration – looks like that didn’t work for you OR create a new theme based on your wp theme on your own. There is a theme integrator too. 
Are you not receiving emails? I just fixed a bug where the checked state of the checkbox wasn’t displaying correctly, but emails should still come through.
Note that if you’re subscribed to a topic, and you are the one that replies, you won’t receive an email.
Link to checkbox state fix: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3266/
This fix will be included in the next release.
Your first core contribution on day 1. Not a bad start.

If your host is controlling what parts of your site what words are allowed where, to the point where it’s censoring genuine conversation, that’s a conversation to have with them.
There are a few things you can do to confirm, but it depends if they’ve white listed those locations or not.
1. Can you post a blog comment with that same content?
2. Can you create a reply within /wp-admin/ with the same content?
Your members are “unimpressed” because they’re frustrated, and because your site is unfinished because bbPress has only had a handful of testers in recent months. You’re opting to be a tester, which is *great* of course… but making the decision to let other people use an unfinished site never goes well.
Your feedback is invaluable, and their unhappiness is going towards a good cause. If you communicate that to them clearly, in my experience that usually calms them down.
When using the functions provided by the Popularity Contest plugin to display a list of the popular posts, I get the following error:
Warning: Missing argument 2 for bbp_query_post_parent__in() in /home/user/site.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-general-functions.php on line 886
Okay, at last its solved by my own,
Seems quite hard to find bbpress support now. Maybe everyone busy with 2.0 *sad
JJJ turned off searching the forums/topics/replies in the most current build. He has a complete custom search solution coming soon that is going to blow your mind. Just need a little patience is all, it is going to be worth the wait.
@mhjerde99
glad it worked, it’s only a ‘hacky’ fix, but should get you going.
Someday, I will write a post on how to ‘properly’ get bbpress forums into a woo theme. It is a huge amount of work, but is something that once bbpress is stable you will only have to do once, or very sporadically.
Right now JJJ is working so hard and fast on the plugin that it makes no sense for me to write this up as you will end up spending a huge amount of time rebuilding dozens of templates every time there is a bbpress update which effects certain templates. It is not hard, just quite tedious, but the results are worth it.
The sidebar issue is actually not the fault of bbpress or the sidebar manager. Just wait until bbpress goes gold and I have time to write up the post. Then you will totally understand what is going on with the sidebars. It is not something either JJ or Woo can solve for you until you learn how to ‘properly’ build a woo bbpress theme.
Great stuff!
@kai920 +1 for adding “register” link to the login widget. And I like Register Plus Redux, that plugin works nicely!
@anointed Thanks, good tip! Implemented.
My sidebars disappeared when upgrading to beta 2b. I’m using the Woo Sidebar Manager and I had to move login/registration down in the footer for the time being. I can’t say for sure that there is causation. Esp because Sidebar Manager seems a bit flaky. But it happened at the same time
@mhjerde99 Can I make a suggestion on the template?
Add the following to your woothemes custom.css file in order to get full width forums. I saw your post over there, but didn’t really have time to answer your questions as I am also very busy building a custom woo theme.
#content table.bbp-topics, #content table.bbp-forums, #content table.bbp-replies, #container table.bbp-topics, #container table.bbp-forums, #container table.bbp-replies, #main table.bbp-topics, #main table.bbp-forums, #main table.bbp-replies {
width: 100% !important;
}
When I do a search on my site does the relevant forum topic come up as the full view (breadcrumb, reply form, etc)???
This makes NO sense.
It should be title, date, post/reply excerpt, and that’s about it. Something simple and readable.
AND – when it shows the full view, even though every other sort of result is set to come up with an excerpt, when there’s a forum post in the results, the other results all return the FULL content, no permalink, etc.
How i translate this plugin. I have started this to my blog forum, but i can’t activate my translation.
I upload bbpress-fi.mo and bbpress-fi.po to bbPress languages folder, but this doesn’t work.
Help?

That’s probably a better answer. There is no shortage of existing login/registration plugins for WordPress, if you’re anxious to get something going.
I was just looking into this topic a bit – I wonder if it’s useful to add a “Register” link at the bottom of the login widget inside /bbp-includes/bbp-core-widgets.php? This would bring a user directly to /wp-login.php?action=register and would only display if WP’s “Anyone can register” option was turned on.
I’ve also just installed the Register Plus Redux plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/register-plus-redux/) which allows you to upload your own image for the registration page and gives other nice options.
Also, for theme authors that want to have tricked out and customized themes that might need radical changes to the breadcrumb, the breadcrumb can be fed a bunch of parameters to adjust and/or force certain crumbs to appear, or turned off completely.
Good to hear – just updated to 3254 and I see Home > Forums > Forum Name breadcrumb
