“Glad (sortof anyway 
to hear I’m not the only one who saw the missing Forums in the menus page.”
The quick fix is changing line 514 in bbpress.php to…
‘show_in_nav_menus’ => true,
It’s currently set to false.
I have been working day and night to get my WordPress and bbpress sites integrated. I stubled upon a guide to integrate, and it seems to have worked. I can’t really tell because of an error screen I get when I go to my site.
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::add_query_var() in /home6/kaebinco/public_html/251st/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 318
I did not edit this file over the course of the integration, have no clue what it does, what the error means, or how to fix it. I’m hoping one of you guys can shed some light on the situation. Here’s a link to the guide I mentioned.

I have installed the plugin bbpress but if i active anounimous post i have 30 spam / day
plyse who to active akismet in form-topic ?
thanks
Yeah I didn’t exactly expect a “yes” to #1. 
I just wish it had SOME kind of unique moniker we could all adopt to refer to it ass… “bbPp2” maybe, or something. ANYTHING! There’s actually more stuff about it than you might expect, it’s just super duper hard to find.
Deactivating the forums could work I suppose, hadn’t thought of that. Maybe temporarily re-slug the page containing it and put up a “Down for Maintenance” page instead under the old slug. That would probably work nicely now that I think about it.
Glad (sortof anyway to hear I’m not the only one who saw the missing Forums in the menus page. I’m potentially days away from my site going live and I really need to add a few forums to my nav, so I hope you might be able to track this one down fast.
Thanks as always for the speedy response!

1. No. The stand-alone 1.x branch of code will still be actiely maintained as needed, and is still a great piece of software. The plugin version will (most likely) get inflated to 2.0 to give us something better to refer to it as. A new generation of bbPress doesn’t change the spirit of the project, just the ease of integration with WordPress.
2. If you deactivate the plugin, your forums will essentially be deactivated too. A dedicated maintenance mode sounds like a good idea for a plugin though.
3. I’ll take a look at this. Noticed it myself a few days ago, so it’s on the radar.
The bbPress plugin for WordPress isn’t showing up on search results because there just isn’t a lot of buzz about it yet. That will (hopefully) change after it’s released into the plugins repo and is available to a larger audience.
A few things…
1. Crazy suggestion, could we please please rename the “bbPress Plugin” to something else? When attempting to google for information on issues surrounding it, it’s effectively impossible since all you get is “standalone” bbP info. Them sharing the same name when they are utterly different things, is a real drag. I realize this has been discussed elsewhere and is rather hotly debated, personally I suggest it ONLY to make finding information in search engines actually somewhat possible.
2. Is there or could there be a way to “lock” the entire forum, in case of maintenance etc.? I don’t want to lock down my entire site, just the forum, in case I have to do some hacking & slashing and don’t want anyone posting new forum content while I do so. Suggestions?
3. I can’t seem to add Forums as WP menu items. What’s really odd is I’ve clearly done it before, as I have over a dozen items all labeled “Forum” in my WP nav hierarchy in the Menus page. But now, I’m unable to figure out how to add forums or topics to the WP nav. What am I missing here?
Thanks everyone, here’s to 1.0!!

You should check out this forum: http://bbpress.org/forums/forum/templates and also google bbninja.
In a word, yes. In many words, it can be done but but would require some level of customization, using taxonomies and terms.

It’s possible to build forum just like Gawker Open Forums with bbPress?
I,ve already try use Buddypress, but i think it’s just to complex. as you can see at http://prorebel.com/activity
How do i make bbpress private?
in other words users will have to create a profile a password in order to enter to the panel?
is there a plug-in for it?

Who to active akismet to form-topic.php ?
thinks
Jaja: I think it would work in the way BuddyPress works, i.e. placing plugins for BuddyPress in wp-content/plugins too.
Just a question:
If this bbPress plugin goes Live will there be some different folder inside the bbPress folder to place future plugin’s?
something like this:
wp-content > plugins (plugins for WordPress only)
wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-plugins (plugins for bbPress only)
Because i was looking at the bbPress-signature plugin and it works very good only what if this bbPress plugin will get very successful and lots of people start making plugin’s for the bbPress forum plugin only (just like bbPress stand alone) Then we have in a few months more then 50 different plugin’s inside the plugins folder and you can’t see very clear what plugin is for what part of the website. (WP or BBP)
Just some small and fast thinking of my side..
Now I’ve also tried this plugin, without any luck:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration
Anyone knows what the problem could be?
Would be really nice to solve this since this integration was the biggest reason to why I’ve choosed bbpress.
Cheers

Topic tag theme compat is now in the plugin repo. It’s new and uses some weird hacks to pull off (since we need to make sure it plays nicely with existing tax queries) so be sure to play with it.
Rick: That’s the only one I know of.
Did you see any errors while installing bbPress?

Hi there,..
I’ve set up bbpress several times on a local MAMP server and installed the program without problems or warnings.
It all works… except for the fact that I can’t see the posts. Whatever I do, they just dont show up.
All other functionality is apparently OK. I haven’t got a clue where to start looking.
All help welcome, THX Frank
Just put some finishing touches on breadcrumbs in theme compat. All that’s left to do is add the topic-tags to theme compat, and zero out the tickets in trac. Also updated the first post of this topic with status.
You can find a link to the plugin in the sticky post at the top of the forum.
The bbpress plugin’s topics and replies are custom post types.
Check bbpress.php for the register_post_type functions.
I’ve only been hacking away at the plugin for a day but from what I’ve seen all of the standard custom post type features appear to be working.
Tomorrow I’m going to mess around with custom fields, custom meta boxes and adding in some additional taxonomies.
I see a lot of possibilities for blurring the lines between a blog and a forum.
If you can manipulate wordpress to do crazy stuff, you’ll love the new plugin version.
