It really depends on what traffic you think you’ll get. How many in your closed community?

My main problem was getting my worpdress to look like my phpbb. After spending about a month on my phpbb i scraped it and went to bbpress as users find your forum alot more legit if it fits into your whole websites theme
bbPress is pretty awesome it seems!!
@ricardouk – Gautam’s got it a little backwards. It means that if your existing WordPress theme *DOES NOT* have add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); in its functions.php file (or anywhere else) that bbPress will attempt to fill in the missing template files on its own with a default set of CSS rules.
For example, for themes that do not *explicitly* say “yes I have bbPress template files” bbPress will still attempt to work it out for you. Say you purchased a theme from StudioPress which doesn’t come bundled with any bbPress template files for forums, that’s okay. When you visit a single forum or single topic, bbPress intercepts the request and serves up a default template that looks like a forum or topic. 
In other words, do not use add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); unless your custom theme has a “/bbpress” folder that has the necessary files that bbPress expects to be there.
JJJ this is a wonderful gift!

You will need to do some coding and create your own theme.
Hint: Take the header and footer segments of your WordPress theme and place them in the header.php and footer.php segments of the bbPress theme that you selected to wrap your design around the bbPress theme you selected.

me too….my forums don’t work at all. I get this weird code:
$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’; $bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’; $bb->uri = ‘http://intranet.kki.org/school/social/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/’; $bb->name = ‘ Forums’; define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 2); ?>

whenever I try to start a forum
I’ve created a multi-use blog site for our Intranet and would like to have the Forums functing working. Unfortunately, this is what happens when I try to start a forum or put allow forum into a group:
bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. If you are having problems you can re-install (I did this)
NOTE: The forums directory will only work if your bbPress tables are in the same database as your WordPress tables. If you are not using an existing bbPress install you can ignore this message.
As you can see, I’ve tried the re-install, which I have to do manually as we have all sorts of blocks on our server. That did not help and I received the following when I try to start a forum:
$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’; $bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’; $bb->uri = ‘http://intranet.kki.org/school/social/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/’; $bb->name = ‘ Forums’; define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 2); ?>
I don’t know what this means or why it is happening. Any thoughts on the matter. I’m using Custom Community theme that I’ve done a lot of customization on. WordPress works fine as do all the other BuddyPress plug-in’s I’ve activated.
Thanks, Debra
PS – just joined this group, how do I change my password and add an avitar?
Hi Gautam, i tried it on the 4 themes i previously used with wordpress and it didn’t work.
Added:
add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); to the theme functions, will wait for further developments,
The themes i used are minimalist and simplistic without “fancy stuff”, i can’t help with coding but if you need any testing just let me know.
Ricardo: You should put that line in your WordPress theme’s functions.php. Note that some themes might still not display it properly.
…If you’re not using a theme that actively supports bbPress by setting add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );, bbPress is going to serve up its own default set of templates and styling from whatever is set as the theme compatibility layer…
Does this mean we can use the theme we currently use with wordpress even if its not bbpress friendly? is this similar to when wordpress introduced posthumbnails and we needed to add a line to the functions.php to enable it on themes that weren´t compatible with postthumbnails?
Where do we put the “add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ )” in bbpress?
Thank you for listening to “our” requests on using bbpress with our current themes
You also need to install this plugin in WordPress and it would tell you what you need to add in your wp-config.php.

Yep, I have installed it if you mean bbPress integration in ‘bbPress > Settings > WordPress Integration’.
However I can’t guarantee at 100% that I changed config files correctly. I would be thankful if you could better explain it or make a screenshot of how config files should look like.

Hi Guys,
I’ve just installed bbpress in a sub folder on my wordpress blog and Im having issues trying to integrate the data bases…
I just went into the integration setting and same the copy from wp.
The page refreshed and then kicked me out.
What do i do now?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
Simon
Sorry for my very poor english
I can’t believe that in bbpress forum there is no such a fundamental thing as post and topic date! I thing 80% of forum users need exact post date, not its freshness.
I spend a lot of time on this issue and finally fixed it!
All you need is to use both “Accurate Post Time” AND “User Timezones” plugins. First is for showing date and second is for setting it correctly.
It works fine for me!
Awesome news John, thanks for the update! Looking forward to seeing the alpha pop up in the directory.
