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
I’ve been tweaking the breadcrumbs, trying to find the sweet spot. There’s starting to be a lot of possible ways to display the forum archives now. With page templates, archives, shortcodes, etc… it’s hard to know what is the actual root and where.
I think I’ve got it dialed in for Beta 3. I spent the majority of last night testing all of the above scenarios.
In beta1, I remember seeing a “Forums” link in the breadcrumbs, such as Forums > Forum 1. In beta2, this is no longer the case: I see Home > Forum 1 whereas I would have expected it to show Home > Forums > Forum 1.
Any chance you’d let me take a peek around your installation? I can’t duplicate this, so I’m curious to see what’s causing it.
Just to ease my mind, can you try deleting the bbPress plugin completely, and re-uploading a fresh download too?
@tooltrainer – The “quick solutions” are still no reason to modify core files. Trust me when I say, and stress, very heavily, that modifying the core files is only going to cause headaches.
@jamesmarsland – Timeline is probably July or August. Right now you can run them together, and turn off the BuddyPress forums component, and things will work perfectly. Here are a few scenarios:
1. Install bbPress 2.0. Keep both BuddyPress and bbPress 2.0 active. Have two separate, disconnected forums. One using the same old way with group forums, the other specifically for your site. This is how I am currently running http://testbp.org.
2. Ditch BuddyPress Group Forums, and don’t allow new groups to create forums. Use the bundled import tool in bbPress 2.0 to move your existing group forums into bbPress 2.0, and systematically/manually edit each forum down so everything lives where you want it to.
3. Wait until we’re able to update BuddyPress to talk directly to bbPress 2.0, and take control of it like it does now with bbPress 1.0.
Ideally BuddyPress will come with a very generalized “forum” component in the next version, that will act as an API for any forum software to connect to it. There are only a few functions that it needs to use, so it shouldn’t take too long to switch up.
@bkno – @powerspawn is asking about bbPress 2.0, so those plugins won’t help him.
@powerspawn – Right now you’ll need to write a piggyback plugin for bbPress, that will add the read_private_forums capability to the roles that you want to have it.
Interesting. Looks like it thinks a function is missing, or some other plugin is interfering with the output of the page. Do you have any other plugins running? What version of bbPress 2.0 are you using?
Hi,
I will want to run this instead of default bbpress on buddypress going forward. Can you let us know the rough roadmap for integrating / separating bbpress from buddypress and how this will work for existing sites and new site.
tks

Hi
I’ve installed bbpress, activated it, and ceated a test forum.
http://www.finditinspain.biz/forums/
However, when I follow the forum link it just gives a blank page.
Any ideas?
Thanks
