I went ahead and installed the plugin, also migrated from a standalone forum, it’s looking pretty good but I get a Internal Sever Error when visiting Replies, anyone else have this problem?
Also, none of the replies comes up in any topics, is this a migration issue or is it just that the code isn’t finished?
General update – bbp-twentyten has been converted back into a child theme of twentyten. It was previously made a parent theme to make development easier, but now that theme compatibility is mostly finished, it’s no longer necessary. This cuts down on the size of the installable by almost half, avoids inadvertently forking the TwentyTen theme (we shouldn’t need to keep on top of updates) and should set a better example on how to make a compatible bbPress child theme for your existing theme.
Theme theme theme… theme. 
@jaja.. – That is strange, because I’m also on MAMP on OSX.
@spiralspeaks – The permalink structure is a product of the way that WordPress handles them. Thankfully it shares this with BackPress/bbPress so it should match existing installs to new installs without skipping a beat. Custom post types, however, currently require their ‘slug’ to precede the actual post_name, which is how WordPress knows which template to serve up.
I can’t get it work locally.
I can do whatever i want but the WordPress admin doesn’t find the plugin in the plugin folder.
While if i place the bbPress plugin inside my online WP version i can activate the plugin and i will get the msg to switch to a different (twentyten theme)
Very strange this local bug.
Using MAMP on a Mac OSX.
Good Evening,
Hey there… I wanna ask how can I fix this thing…
I recently found bbPress plugin, it is great to be installed in a wordpress blog it promotes more interaction for the site. so i installed bbPress in my blog.. but my problem is…
The url for the forums is too long… when the forum base is present..
:bbpress.org/ forums/ forum/ tutorial-guide/
I want to shorten it
from :bbpress.org/ forum base/ forum/ tutorial-guide/
to :bbpress.org/forum base/ tutorial-guide/
plus my concern is if I use
:bbpress.org/ forum base/ forum/
creates duplicate content with
:bbpress.org/ forum base/
and the user profiles
How can I put Latest user post and topics in wordpress profiles??
Any help thanks… I’ll be waiting
Correction its subdomain install
I’ve been out of touch with testing, sorry.
with regard to the bozo and akismet plugins, if these features are in then it would be useful:
ability for admin to differentiate between bozo’ed users posts and posts marked as spam.
ability to set thresholds to stop akismet checking users after x number of posts. this helps when some users get marked as spam all the time, alternatively ability to skip akismet for individual users. Having that in the core akismet would be extremely useful.
Hello,
I’m looking for any Activation Activation PlugIn, to avoid Spam Account.
when a User register now, first he must confirm the registration, and the the Admin can Activate the Accout.
Is any such PlugIn or Feature in bbpress available ?
Thanks
Hello,
I’m looking for a Theme like the current bbpress.org Theme.
is this for Download available ?
I’m using currect the Default Theme, but the Formur field is to small, now i want to change whit another one.
thanks.
YungLion,
I ended up creating the table manually. Using the error information.
So now I can use the bbpress forum but I have raised a new problem regarding navigation links…
Cheers,
AlexB

The default WordPress roles/permissions are really awesome, but there’s no UI to customize them to fit your specific wants and needs. If there’s a need to change the capabilities, that can be done with relative ease with a supplemental plugin to change the defaults. bbPress is meant to be flexible, so it should adapt with whatever you throw at it too.
@JJJ
regarding the wordpress/bbpress theme compatibility… it kind of works with that code in the functions.php file, it works but only for individual pages, look forward for developments on this.
Keep up the good work guys!
I did not find any setting where I could set a required user level in order to view or post on the forum.
i think you can set up user permission for bbpress in the users section in wordpress (admin, colaborator, reader etc)
edit: JJJ explained it better
@binhdo – The login page specifically does some hi-jacking now that it shouldn’t. Regarding permissions, any registered user can view or post in the forums. Only Admins/Super Admins can create/edit/trash/delete forums. Moderators can spam/trash/edit topics and replies. New use roles can be created relatively easily, and there will be both a “Super Moderator” and a remix of the “Bozo” plugin soon after release. Some additional measures were put in place to assure that the ‘default role’ was always able to post in the forums, because in multisite installations it’s possible a registered user may not actually have a role at all.
Regarding your permalink issues earlier, last night I made sure that the WordPress rewrite rules get a hard flush when bbPress is activated, deactivated, and when the settings page is saved. In the future the bbPress ‘slugs’ will get moved to the WordPress Settings -> Permalinks page, alas at the moment there’s a core bug that doesn’t allow the settings API to insert additional fields there.
Another question would be how bbpress handles user permissions. I did not find any setting where I could set a required user level in order to view or post on the forum.
@Gautam: Does that mean I have to create a ‘page-login.php’ template which contains the login/logout form?
Sorry, but this doesn’t make any sense to me, since WordPress already comes with everything needed to handle logins etc.
binhdo: When you install bbPress, you need to set up some pages using the Page Templates. Login is one of them. We should probably change this.
slobizman: That question is like the icing on the cake, especially after all the GPL debate. Theoretically, bbPress has some theme compatibility features which would work good with most of the themes. If it doesn’t with Thesis, then probably you can go to their support forums and ask them to add bbPress support.
I’m very excited to hear this Alpha of the plugin is days away. I have a question whose answer I hope will not spoil my excitement: do you see any reason this will not work with the Thesis theme?
Thanks @Arjun, but there is nothing wrong with permalinks enabled in my setup. I am running several installs on my local machine and everything is working well unless bbpress is enabled. I noticed that with bbpress enabled, the login link is changed to ‘…/login/’ which also results in a ‘page not found’.
@binhdo
I’ve had similiar issues on my XAMPP server like when the permalink structure is changed I get 404 error. Its just a mod rewrite error of the local server installation. Even with the kind of permalink you said, you wont be able to view a post too, you’ll be getting same error. The default permalink works fine on local server. There is nothing wrong with bbPress. 
There is absolutely nothing special about my install. It’s a clean and fresh install of WP 3.1.2 with no additional plugins enabled. Initially, I enabled permalinks, activated bbpress and created a new forum. The view-forum link points to ‘http://localhost/wptest/forums/forum/general-forum’, which then results in a ‘page not found’ error. With permalinks disabled, all these pages would show up nicely as expected.
The sever is a local Apache on Win7 x64 (uniformserver package) and appears to be running perfectly fine so far.
I like how there are two completely different opinions and perspectives immediately back-to-back.
@binhdo – Something is most likely up with your install. Any more details you an provide?
Just installed the bbPress plugin and WOW… I’m impressed! Took about 5 minutes to install, activate the TwentyTen bbPress theme and create a couple of pages with the appropriate templates.
Can’t wait to start theming sites with these new capabilities in mind! Am I correct in assuming that the forums are based upon custom post types? With that baked in core functionality there are all kinds of cool implementations I’m itching to try.
Nice work ya’ll! If there’s anything I can do to help please let me know…
