It sounds like the first post isn’t being recognized as the start of the thread for some reason. Which might be because “the first posts weren’t cached properly” – ie, they were cached as ordinary posts, not as thread-starting posts.
Presumably the importer is finding all the requisite information to create the thread, but it isn’t finding anything that would be content for the thread-starting post, so it creates the thread-starting post as blank.
Did that make sense?
Re-check the coding. I sense some error there.
Can I please know when will 1.3 be updated. You released a new version of the wordpress plugin, but did not release an update for the stand alone forum.
Please update version 1.3 or tell me when is it going 2 be updated.

BBpress 2.0 plugin is not respecting the ordering feature when using nested forums.
example setup:
forum A = order 1
-sub forum a = order 1
-sub forum b = order 2
-sub forum c = order 3
forum B = order 2
-sub forum a = order 1
-sub forum b = order 2
-sub forum c = order 3
forum C = order 3
-sub forum a = order 1
Basically I am trying to force the order of the top level forums, and also maintain the ability to control the order of the subforums as well.
In the above example I am showing the ‘order’ number which is the value I am inputting into the forum edit screens.
Hello !
After i finally understand what you are doing here… 
I checked what i need to do. A little bit confusing for me, my english isn`t that good.
Ok, i setup a new WP (current version with twenty theme) and installed the bbpress 2 beta.
So far so good. Will there be categories in BBpress ? Cause i just need one Forum under one menupoint with different categories with the topics inside.
Currently i can only make different forums wich are seperatet, thant`s a little bit strange cause i have to a menupoint for every forum.
When i click on “forum” at the breadcrump i get this error:
The requested URL /mashup/forums/ was not found on this server.
404, folder not found.
Sure, there is none. Is this just a relict of the older BBPress version where normally i should have this folder ?
First look is nice, this can be great in the future, but its in a very early beta state i guess.
It`s the only forum wich is native in WP and runs directly in the page.
All others like Vbulletin, PHPbb and so can`t be included and iframes are not really nice.
so, BBPress is my hope and the only solution at the horizon.
Thanks for your work.
Never seen anything like this before. You might be able to use the WordPress post-by-email feature, along with bbPress 2.0, and pull something off that way. It’s a neat idea, and something that would still need to be developed specifically for your needs.

There shouldn’t be too many theme changes anymore. I’ve tried to keep as much logic out of the themes as I could, but in some places there’s a compromise between theme logic and hardcoding things into the plugin. If there’s anyplace where that balance is missed, I’m all ears.

kai920: That probably means that the first posts weren’t cached properly by bbPress standalone (when it was asked to do by the importer). It might fix if you restore your backup and run the import again.
Hi Gautam,
I should clarify: the topic’s first post does get imported but it’s imported as the SECOND post. There is just an empty, extra first post in every imported topic.
I’ve tried re-running the import but I get the same result.
Could something be wrong with my existing bb_ tables?
Here is a screencap: http://i55.tinypic.com/23r5kwo.jpg
That will probably be the long term solution I will use. However, at the moment with bbpress changing so fast I want to make as few changes as possible to ‘core’ bbpress files.
*I’ll ask you later, when I get to that point, what the best function would be in order to do that as efficiently as possible.
You are working at such a furious pace on bbpress that I have already had to ‘rebuild’ my custom bbpress custom templates over a dozen times.
For now I am simply taking the logic out of every bbpress template and wrapping it into my own templates on each revision. Having to remember to change core code as well would be to much to keep up with.

Rather than having a totally separate template file for each topic, why not run some kind function to check which topic is being served, and then use get_template_part to grab the piece you need from your own custom folder? That would prevent you needing to litter the root of your theme with tons of custom files.

Thanks for the info, kinda figured that was the case.
Because I fully plan on using separate template files for each topic, this is going to get out of hand very fast.
Maybe someday WordPress will look into this a bit more as I can see how this is going to get very messy with very complex themes utilizing a number of template files.
*I’m sorry that I have not yet participated in posting bugs etc.. I am still quite busy messing with template concepts so I have not yet gotten to the point of even trying out the functionality.

@Morgan – You should just be able to remove the database tables prefixed with “bb_” and that’s it. You don’t really even need to do that, since the size of those tables is likely very small. That along with possibly your admin user having the “Key Master” user role rather than the “Admin” one. Otherwise, the two platforms don’t really touch each other at all when they are integrated.
I’ll look into this tonight.
The bbp_is_topic() function should definitely exist, as long as bbPress is active. Can you confirm that you still have bbPress active on this site?
@anointed – In a word, no. 
WordPress custom post types only know to look for their files in the root of the theme folder, and the same goes for page templates as well. For now if you want a totally customized theme, those files need to live in the root. I did my best to minimize the number of files in the root, and instead split them up into template parts in the /bbpress folder (because I want the same thing you do.)
It might be possible to hook into the template loader, see what the request is, and force it to look into a different folder, but there’s no possible way to do it at all with page templates; it’s actually purposely disallowed to prevent the theme from having to scan every file inside every subfolder to find them.

I followed the instructions and copied the files into the themes directory. After reading the above, I just copied them into my child theme also. I have added the required code to functions.php.
I show this child theme:
bbPress (Atahualpa366 Child) 1.1 by bbPress teams, atahualpa team, keith messinger
Adds bbPress forums to the Atahualpa366 theme
Activate | Preview | Delete
The template files are located in /themes/atahualpa366. The stylesheet files are located in /themes/bbp-atahualpa366. bbPress (Atahualpa366 Child) uses templates from Atahualpa/atahualpa366. Changes made to the templates will affect both themes.
When I preview I get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_is_topic() in /hermes/bosweb26a/b1658/d5.savethec/public_html/stc/wp-content/themes/bbp-atahualpa366/functions.php on line 165
I know this is a beta and don’t expect it to totally work correctly. More or less just keeping the bbp up to date on my progress.
Thanks!
Request:
I am using my own theme and did copy all the files to my themes directory. Everything is working as expected.
What I would like to do is instead of having to copy all the bbpress theme files into the root of my theme folder, is it possible to simply copy the bbpress folder itself into my theme folder?
I am finding that I have a ton of files in my theme root level now, and it is a bit ‘messy’. It would be so much cleaner if I could simply keep all my files in the bbpress folder within my themes root folder.
The problem would only get worse when I add in buddypress custom theme files.
I am also thinking long-term, as if I come back to a site months down the road, it would make it much easier to remember which template is for which plugin etc.. Having all the bbpress theme files in my theme root is making it hard to remember already what does what.
What I am hoping for is:
wp-content/my-theme/bbpress-forum-template-files/
Is this possible?
