Nope, no private, no hidden.

Hah simultaneous post. 
It is a commercial theme, ProfitsTheme, that has had the twentyten bbP elements ripped out and put into it. I lovingly refer to it as FrankenTheme. 
But for the most part it’s working like a champ. Except for this…
It was working before just fine, then it didn’t so I updated to the latest trunk and re-integrated all my changes… then it worked great. Till today when it suddenly stopped again. Very confused…
Jonathan
Are you setting forums as private/hidden?
OK, my coder commented out $r = bbp_exclude_forum_ids( $r ); in bbp_user_template.php but we don’t understand why that did the trick. Subscribers are now able to create topics and everything seems fine, but I’m hesitant to just semi-arbitrarily comment out something like that…
Jonathan
@tooltrainer – Custom theme, or using bbp-twentyten? Possible it’s a custom theme and you’re not checking caps correctly?
Check bbp-includes/bbp-caps.php. It relies on meta capabilities to match up bbPress caps with WordPress caps. If you altered the core caps for specific core WP roles, they could be all wacky. Also, caps are stored per user, and per role, so if you adjusted them in the middle of a live site, you might have some users with different caps than others.
@JJJ
I’m not quite understanding what you mean.
I assume that you mean setup a function where if it is bbp_get_topic_last_active then display the date/time.
Is there anyway you could start me off on this?
Even turning on anonymous posting didn’t work. I still get the “You must be logged in…” message.
Jonathan
I reactivated capsman just to see if it would help, but it doesn’t. Subscriber role users already have all the normal bbP capabilities, but still can’t create topics.
Seriously stumped… one of my coders has been hammering on this for hours and still has no idea what the trouble is.
Jonathan
I actually several days ago removed a plugin for managing capabilities, because I wasn’t actually using it. It was Capabilities Manager. But right now, no… nothing as far as I know.
Where does bbP handle what roles have permission to do what?
Jonathan
@tooltrainer – It’s some kind of capability issue. Do you have any custom plugins that are modifying your capabilities? Is there anything special about your installation that would help identify what’s going on?
Does /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/style.css exist?
No need to move files around.
Don’t worry, it’s actually more common than you might think to get the two confused.
New vanilla WordPress 3.1.2 install,
Downloaded zip from trac, branches_plugin-3138.zip
Unzipped and uploaded everything to /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/
Activated. Added a forum, added topics. No problems.
Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
bbp-twentyten Stylesheet is missing.
Does exist: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css
Is this a problem, or should I be moving files around?
—Also, I’m the village idiot b/c thought you meant something about testing BuddyPress. I haven’t used bbp so I’m not much help, but figured I’d install it and try anyway.
That’s cool…it looks like a support ticket system. I would have never guessed it uses bbpress.

Is this one currently using bbpress?

My previous problem of users not being able to creat topics, has suddenly returned and I don’t know why. When a user is looking at the topics, they see this at the bottom:
Sorry!
You cannot create new topics at this time.
Any idea what would be causing this??
Thanks,
Jonathan
Most likely not going to happen. We have an entire forum for showing off installations. Give that a look.

If you have an integrated wordpress blog and bbpress forum I would really like to see it. I’m really interested in seeing some working examples to better see what I’m getting into. Please link to your websites below. Thanks!
That makes much more sense now! Thank you!
I think it might be better for me just to wait for the plugin version of bbpress. Can you give me a guestimate when it will come out? It would be much appreciated!

Kind of a long story, but more cliffnotes…
BuddyPress is a social networking plugin for WordPress, that actually comes bundled with bbPress inside of it to create group discussion forums.
bbPress has always been a stand-alone platform (like WordPress) but is being turned into a plugin for WordPress to make integration as seamless as possible. So right now, there are two distinctly separate versions of bbPress, stand-alone and plugin.
As far as I know there isn’t a migration script between SMF and bbPress, but I could be wrong. There most likely is not one for the bbPress plugin since it hasn’t been publicly released yet.
Documentation, is limited. There is almost none on the plugin so far, but there will be once it’s released and in the wild. We’ll put some documentation up here at bbpress.org to help answer all of these kinds of questions easier.

I’m getting confused by the buddypress and bbpress thing. Are they like apples and oranges? Or granny smith and golden delicious? Should I just wait until 1.1 comes out? When will that be?
Is there any way to migrate my SMF database to bbpress?
Is there a way to test install bbpress and then switch to it if I like it? I’m kind of a noob, so a link to anything that explains how to do that would be great. Thanks for the help, John!
