Don’t install the forums that come with BuddyPress. You already have forums installed by way of using bbPress 2.0. Delete the bb-config.php file in the root of your install, and turn of bp-forums.
I’ve installed BuddyPress and the BP Compatibility theme pack, it’s added the top menu to my site but none of the links work (redirect to homepage) and my bbPress links are affected in the same way.
In the theme setup instructions, it had me
1. create a new dir /wp-content/themes/bbp-twentyten/ and move the 6 template dirs there
2. create a bb-config.php file and put it in the root
Permalinks for other WP pages are still working fine.
Have I run into a common problem? I’ve only worked on a few WP sites in the past and don’t really know the debugging process.
BuddyPress. Turn off the other components you don’t need.
The error I get is:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_load_plugin_textdomain() in /wh_b/……./WWW/wp-content/plugins/bbpm/bbpm.php on line 20
Is there a private messaging plugin for bbPress 2.0 plugin branch?
I’ve just downloaded bbpm and it won’t run, i’m presuming it’s only designed to work with standalone bbPress?
Is there anything else recommended?
Thanks
Ashley
@JJJ – Thanks. I will look for the update this morning and see if that fixes things.
Another symptom is that in the topic there are something wrong with posts order. For some reason latest post goes to the top of the list.
It really would be nice to see all the queries fired up by the bbpress.
@cib – Some fixes in Beta 3 might fix that issue for you. Will be available tomorrow morning.
Hi, Is there any way to replace the Last Poster with the nice_username on the home page of bbpress forum.
It is really hard to troubleshoot the problem with a link to the site itself. Need to read the code output to see what is happening
There are going to be a lot of us releasing custom themes for bbPress in the future. As said before, bbPress is very easy to work with when it comes to custom templates.
Keep in mind, bbPress is still beta, and there are not a lot of us using it yet. As it becomes stable, and gets more press, I believe you will see huge activity for themes and plugins.
The system is so easy that with just a few hours work, bbPress can be integrated into just about any theme. It really is that great and easy to work with.

Hi, I’ve just installed bbpress and I’m having problems with table spacing. The first few letters get cut off in the main index, I’m left with “opic Title” instead of “Topic Title”, and the thread titles are missing the first 2 letters as well. I’ve done a string search for “topic title” in the bbpress directory, but I can’t seem to find the related code. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

Thank you! 
Hello
For two years bbpress and wordpress were working together just fine. Today something happened. For some reason people can login to the wordpress ($user_ID has got proper value), but they can’t reply to the topics (they can’t also create new topics). I print_r $_COOKIE and there is everything normal. The strange thing is also with the bb-admin. It redirects me to the front-page.php. I dug down and found bb_get_current_admin_menu, then bb_current_user_can and finally $bb_current_user (which is 0). So, the questions are: why bbpress stopped working with wordpress, how do I debug bbpress and where do I find queries/functions that matches $_COOKIE against database ?
Hmm..sorry about that. Not sure what is going on.
Here is the link again: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10149333/bbpress-template-help.jpg
If that doesn’t work, you can try to grab the screenshot here:

Link no worky. Might be private?
Not sure if this will work, but here is a link to a screenshot of the main page:

Can you link me to your site so I can see what’s happening?
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
