Aha that makes total sense. Thanks!!

Is the theme compatible with bbPress? You can’t just active any theme, if they haven’t been prepared for bbPress. As far as I know…
Using the Alahualpa 3.6.6 theme and bbPress beta plugin. All seems to install correctly. I can add forums and topics, save them, edit them but if I try to view them I get a blank white page.
It is a theme specific error.
@tooltrainer: Just go to the administration for Forums, click edit for the forum you want to re-order.. In the right sidebar there’s a “order” field, which defines the order of the forums. You’ll, as far as I know, have to change the order for all forums individually.
Is there a way to change the order the forums are displayed in? It looks like by default they’re displayed in the order they were created. I’d really like them to be either in Alphabetical order, or better yet in a custom definable order, like what one can do with menu items in the WP menus.
Can this order be changed currently?
Thanks,
Jonathan
I’ve been using bbPress for quite a while and figured it would be about time to take a look at the bbPress 2.0 plugin. So far most things work as they should.. but I’ve faced some problems.
I was running: bbPress 1.0.2
I’m running: WP3.1.2 + bbPress 2.0-beta-1 plugin
It’s mostly related to the importer. I doesn’t through me any errors, but after defining the path and starting the importer, a white page is shown (the menu and headline is there, but the “content field” is white/blank/empty).
* I then tried the script bbs2p.php, and it worked a bit better, but all the replies was missing topic id and forum id in the meta – i solved that by copying the to lines from topic creation.
* Further more replies was missing correct “post_name” and therefore also “guid”, I solved that by adding it as seen under topics, but prefixing the post_name with “reply-to-“.
* Then the next problem is tags – they are created and linked correctly, but as with the replies the slug is incorrect and not following the WP3 standard, therefore the links are broken.
And last, I have a question about the forum types: Private & hidden. How exactly are they working? And why can’t I make private/hidden parent > child forums? In the “Parent” list only normal/visible/public forums are listed.
I have downloaded the BBpress for My WP site but can not get it to work. the plugin appeared on my left hand bar but when it is activated it basically crashes the whole site. How can I get it to basically be another section of my site?
Hope someone can help me out here 
Feeling pretty stuck

Does this work with the new bbPress2? I need to make some forums private soon.
Interested to hear how you get on Jim.

@jckbco – If you use bbPress 2.0 (the plugin) and then have WordPress in Multisite mode, then yes you can. Each site in the WordPress install would need bbPress active on it. And that’s it.

I wanna help to translate to Chinese(China), but GlotPress currently does not have this option.

Whoops – one more question (for now, thanks so much for all your help so far!).
Does anyone know why admins are able to embed videos / pictures but users are not able to? It seems like none of my forum members can embed youTube videos (using the iframe embed tags) but for some reason I (the admin) can post them.
Same seems to be happening with pictures, too (adding pictures with the HTML img tag).
@Bjorn – Took me a while to find too – it’s in your wp-admin under tools>>import (and will show up at the bottom of the list if you have the bbpress plugin installed) – at least that’s how I’m guessing it happens.
@Gautam – Thanks much! I’ll give it a try! 
The 2.0 is in beta. It’s runs off WordPress, so WordPress would look after all pages.

2.0 – the OP was talking about the latest version of the plugin. 1.0 is a standalone, not a plugin.
