Brand new install of bbpress with wp integration. Posts are blank however if I click edit the text is there. What could be the problem? Many thanks.
Which folder should the bbpress plugin go into that is meant to plug in to the bbpress plugin for wordpress?
I would also like to be able to embed an entire bbpress forum right into a page on my wordpress site. Is the plugin available yet?

I’m using the Kakumei theme, and am located behind a load-balancer.
All posts show the IP address as the IP address of the load-balancer rather than the poster. I know the load-balancer does send the poster’s IP address in the X-Forwarded-For HTTP Header field.
Is it possible to get bbPress to pull out this IP address, rather than the load-balancer’s IP address?
I just wanted to note that the only way this works for me is to go into settings and add a forum base and check the include base before slugs box.
If don’t check that box i end up at my homepage.
When I do check that box and have the fields under it empty which it says will use defaults the urls come out like this –
http://crosseyedgaming.com/forums//welcome-committee/
Note the double // which creates a page not found.
When I add slugs http://crosseyedgaming.com/forums/forum/welcome-committee/
and they all go to the homepage.
If I remove the check I can get to my subpages for the forum but the index page will not show. It goes to one of the created forums frontpage and in the title says – Crosseyed Gaming | Blog versus — Crosseyed Gaming | Forum
It seems to me there is something going wrong within the settings for the slugs and rewrites either in the plug in , my site or both.
The instructions r-a-y mentioned above worked.
I had at one point removed the Forum Base blug altogether. Putting it back as forum and creating a forum page using the shortcode created the page for the index.
Would like to know what other shortcode options there are??
thanks for the help. Good to have a forum index now to start building on.

” Don’t move anything, don’t add anything, and use shortcodes and adjust your CSS as needed. “
This is where I am at right now.
I thought I would try [bbp-forum-index]. I created a page Forum and used that code. I still got the same page as I did all other ways. Goes directly to one of the forums and then list the other forums below it. Says Blog archive across the top.
Now when I create /forums (note the s) that page goes to my home page and not a page at all.
I did a re-save of the permalinks and so on but still not seeing a forum homepage of any kind.
I can only guess that I have something crossed up somewhere beings others have this working.
EDITING __ I did not see the above posts prior to posting this. Going to review and make a change on my site and see how it goes. Thank you for the help.
Is there a way to list all users and users currently logged in?
As it appears now..it probably was theme related. I deleted both my theme and bbpress files and tried reinstalling with another theme. Now I get the installation page..hope everything else goes well.
Thank you Fartlek for your replies.

I don’t know if this is related or not but…
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/vanclute/public_html/new/wp-content/plugins/bbpress_3164/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php on line 627
Getting this on the main “forums” page, under the first forum title but NOT under the second forum title.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Jonathan

@RickLewis
In my case, for the forum index, I had to create a WP page with the same page slug as the bbPress forum base slug (located in “Settings > Forums”).
On that page, I used this shortcode:
[bbp-forum-index]
I’m not sure if this is supposed to be generated automatically by bbPress during activation. JJJ, can you confirm if this is the case or not?
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.
