yes I went through the process and when leaving it all be it wasn’t done properly so I started adding things back.
No matter what I seem to do I am not getting the Forum index page to show as others are. Has to be me not doing it right.
I fixed all the errors in bbPages and re-released it, i even added the function alex_list_pages, i didn’t know if there was already a function bb_list_pages so I named my own, this function lists the pages just like wp_list_pages in a table manor. It doesn’t do all the things wp_list_pages does but it works.
you can download it at http://anthonyzb.users.sourceforge.net/?page_id=28
it should work on bbpress 1.0.3
@CrownOfMars – Try the latest revision and let me know if it’s fixed for you. Was a regression from fixing something else.
@Rick Lewis – You haven’t started over, because you still have a custom theme. It looks to me like you still have
add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );
in your custom theme, even though you don’t have any bbPress files in your custom theme to actually provide bbPress support.
Using the add_theme_support() method is what tells bbPress not to use its own internal files, and just let WordPress do its thing and figure it out. In that case, bbPress will follow the normal template hierarchy for WordPress (archive.php, index.php, etc…)
So you either…
- Copy the bbPress files out of the bbp-twentyten folder into your custom theme and use the add_theme_support() method, which allows you to use page templates.
- Don’t move anything, don’t add anything, and use shortcodes and adjust your CSS as needed.
- Create your own completely custom method of handling bbPress, which is possible to do but way more work than it’s probably worth doing unless you need something *really* tricked out.
Ok well, I will probably go insane with this. I started from the beginning and have not moved anything or created a page.
What I have is the following –
http://crosseyedgaming.com/forum/
That surely is not the correct forum homepage.
Due to my theme should I be moving files or creating a page?
Both?
Something else?
It’s a great thing but I can’t open it up and use it looking like that and no navigation to and from the other forums.
1. No, you should install it in a sub-directory like forums. If you install it in the same dir, then their might be conflicting urls.
2. You’d need to port the theme yourself. There is no theme compat. (Though the new under-development bbPress plugin has that)
3. If you don’t want anything of WordPress to be shown in bbPress (ie. by using WP functions), then no. It would add extra load.

Thanks bbklo. I think I must have misunderstood your original dilemma. The solution for me was to change the defined cookie path within wp-config.php from define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ) to define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpress’ )
Now I am no longer logged out when switching between the two. For a little insight WP & BB are installed at mysite/wordpress and mysite/bbpress
Anyway… thank you. I’m pretty new to this stuff but trying to wrap my head around it.

go to /forum/ page, and log out, than log in first in /forum/ not in wp. this solved, now I can access admin page.

bbklo – What was your solution to being logged out when switching between WP and BB?

@jjj you mentioned above that you don’t need to create a Forums page?
From older posts I thought that was the only way to make this work and with that I also moved things around and added in the code you mention to my functions.php. While things seem to show up they do so just like CrownofMars with the Blog Archive thing.
I too had the forums/forum thing and believe I killed that by deleting all the slugs listed in the settings and saving.
My issue is I can’t get to my main Forum page at all. I keep getting either redirected to the stupid Group forum directory or the second forum I made and it’s noted a Blog Archive.
I think I am going to back track a little and retry things without moving template files around and so on. Maybe that was needed in an earlier version?
I would love to get my forum page looking like this http://archaudio.org/forums/. That one looks nice. I haven’t achieved that yet.
@John
I am glad the problem about forum/forum slug came up.
I have the same issue, and another poster who shared link to his site, also seem to suffer from this:
Configuration/Tuning
etc..
thanks for looking into this
kind regards

Hello ^^ Im new here and ppbress looks interesting..
I tested a Mingle Forum for the beginning and its still cool but bbpress looks better.
I would ask if it possible that , if i write a comment on my wordpress blog, then it will write a forum reply automatic. of course, if i write a forum reply it will show as a comment on my wordpress site ( article )
Of course, that if write a Article, it will automaticly add a Thread in the forum, + comments/ replys…
sorry for the English, ^^”
and thanks for the help
greets

One more thing 
The Recent Posts widget on my sidebar gets the following errors:
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /nfs/c08/h01/mnt/120506/domains/stephenjohnmartin.com/html/spa/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-functions.php on line 799

The widget works it’s just that these errors are shown above it.
They don’t appear when i’m logged in.
Dear Folks!
I’ve setup a bbPress Forum online. Its for my school friends. So i want custom registration form that includes some fileds like batch, current location, class name etc. Is there is any plugin available for that? I’ve searched many bt didnt get.
If there is no plugin, how can i do it by code?
Your immediate help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
@CrownOfMars – Looks like depending on how your forums are setup, that WordPress is doing some canonical redirecting. I’ll see what I can do to prevent that from happening here.
Thanks for your response. I have my 404.php setup to redirect to my homepage so i’m not sure what’s going on.
The thing is, when i switch back to the default TwentyTen theme forums/forum works as an achieve page with the heading “Blog Archives”.
Sorry if i’m confusing you!
@CrownOfMars – There is no need for a ‘/forums’forum’ page, and it should be redirecting to a 404 page, using your 404.php template file. Because a forum is of the post type ‘forum’ that’s how WordPress knows what kind of content to serve up, what template to use, etc…
Worked out how to do what i posted above.
Can someone please explain to me why this is happening?
http://stephenjohnmartin.com/spa/forums/forum/
I’m pretty sure this page is using archive.php, which i haven’t changed from the default TwentyTen theme.
I’ve had to create my own page named forums and insert the shortcode [[bbp-forum-index] in order to achieve what i want on the forums/forum page. It is located here:
http://stephenjohnmartin.com/spa/forums/
Basically, how do i make forums/forum appear the same as /forums, or, how do i remove the need for the forums/forum page?
Sorry i’m a rookie.
bbPress only supports MySQL.
bbPress only supports MySQL.
I am having this same problem. When I integrated by WordPress and bbpress, I lost access to my bb-admin. I believe it’s because I forgot to specify my user roles. I am searching for a fix.
I’ve tried completely removing by bbPress install and re-doing it, to no avail.
And I can’t even find a file called “wp_usermeta” in my WordPress database.
Any suggestions?
thanks
I saw a list of shortcodes mentioned a few pages back.
I’ve been able to get [bbp-forum-index] to work easily.
How do i get the [bbp-single-forum] shortcode to work?
I’ve tried [bbp-single-forum id="# of the forum"] without luck?
