Hi there,
We are experiencing really odd behavior on our WordPress 3.1.2+bbPress 2 beta 2b installation. People can post replies, but when they edit them, they disappear from the topic. They are, however, still counted towards the “posts in topic”-count, and I can find the posts in the admin console (“Replies”), but they don’t show up in the threads.
If anyone would be able to help me out with this, I would be eternally grateful – we were planning on launching the site by the coming weekend (5th of June, 2011).
Admin-access to the site is of course no problem either.
To get the HTTP authentication plugin running with bbPress 1.0.3 I had to do a few tweaks. Here is the diff from the original file and my modifications:
42c42,45
< global $bb_submenu;
---
> if (function_exists('bb_admin_add_submenu')) { // Build 794+
> bb_admin_add_submenu(__('HTTP authentication'), 'use_keys', 'http_admin_page');
> } else {
> global $bb_submenu;
44c47,48
< $bb_submenu['plugins.php'][] = array(__('HTTP authentication'), 'use_keys', 'http_admin_page');
---
> $bb_submenu['plugins.php'][] = array(__('HTTP authentication'), 'use_keys', 'http_admin_page');
> }
176c180
< $user_exists = bb_user_exists( $user );
---
> $user_exists = bb_get_user( $user, array('by' => 'login') );

< ?>
No newline at end of file

> ?>
Hope this helps someone.

Gerald
I was able to get Comment Form Quicktags showing on bbP’s reply form by adding add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', array(&$this, 'detect_start')); but not on the topic content form. I tried:
add_filter('bbp_topic_content', array(&$this, 'detect_start'));
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', array(&$this, 'detect_start'));
What am I doing wrong?
When I fill out the New Topic form, it creates the topic, redirects me to the topic.php page with my new topic showing, however it shows up twice, as if there were two topics. When I refresh the page, the second one goes away. It only shows the topic twice right after submitting the form.
Here is the bbPress forum: http://new.earwolf.com/forums/forum.php?id=13
Feel free to create a topic to see what I mean.
Any ideas? I tried deactivating the plugins I am using (bb-attachments, bb-video) but it did not make a difference.
Here are the settings. It doesn’t matter if I’m logged in as admin or a vanilla user, same problem. And the other problem I have is I can’t post to this forum from FF in my Mac. I’m in a Win7 VM now using IE 9.
Settings are currently restrictive while I sort this out.

I’ve just installed the bbPress 2.0-beta-2b in WordPress 3.1.3. Regardless of the browser (FF Mac, FF Win7, IE 6-9) I get the Slow down error, and cannot post.
Here’s a url to the error screen. It offers no clues so I’m hoping you can. I’m happy to provide any info that can help solve this.

Thanks!
Just a quick f.y.i. so I don’t forget about this one.
If you are using a combination of forums and sub-forums and you set the widget to ‘-1’ it doesn’t work. (At least on my install)
Setting the widget to ‘0’ works just fine.
Sorry 1 more question…
Where is the bundled import tool in bbPress 2.0?
Thanks John, think i will go for option 2 for now.

Never mind, just saw this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/here-goes and I think some of the links at the end of the suggested tut will help.
thanks john. i followed the instructions, and edited the style.css in /wp-content/themes/bbpresslifestyle …
snippet:
* Theme Name: bbpresslifestyle
* Template: lifestyle
and activated the child theme via dashboard. the result is:
http://www.mandressed.com/?forum=mandressed-forum
and some of my page elements from the parent theme (not all) are no longer displaying. again, i wonder if it’s because of the theme’s custom framework.
or i’m really, really close…
(betting on the former).
meh.
thanks!
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?

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
