Are sub forums limited by 5? Since only 5 show up, perhaps make this an option too? ^^
Just tried it on my other server and it works fine there. So its something to do with my setup. Just strange that I’ve had no issues with plugins in the past?
Doesn’t appear to be a permissions thing. I’ll try a new fresh install. Thanks for everyones help so far. 
Out of ideas honestly. If you have /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ and all the necessary files are in there and not corrupted from the download and moving around process, then it’s file permissions.
I tried that already, I’ll just sit tight. And wait. 
Mac… hmmm. can you open up the bbpress.php file and resave it. I know it shouldn’t affect things, but I can recall having a few issues with things on that side (and ok this is a really really long longshot…)
If that doesn’t make any difference we’ll have to wait for JJJ or Gautaum to see this and reply – I’m out of ideas!
Hi,
I hope im on the correct forum? or plugin? I’d like to add conditions to the bp_forum_topics() loop that only contain posts with certain keywords. Can anyone help me with this?
I’d like to create a custom plugin that overrides the current function bp_forum_topics() that does this. Im new to wordpress development so unsure about filters and tags. Right now it returns all topics (with the exception of loose search terms, newest, popular etc). I want to be able to return topics if the posts related to that topics contains specific search terms.
Im using this solution to get global unified search.

All that is remaining is to get it to search forums posts. At the moment all it does is search topics.

You scared me then. No I’m looking at the full list, I’ve testing installing a few other plugins in various ways and everything works fine with them.
I’m running php 5.3.3 on Apache 2.2.15 (Locally on a Mac)
then that’s strange, because I can see and use it fine.
Are you using php4 or php5?
Windows or Linux? (or rather IIS or apache?)
(and I’m sorry to ask but.. you aren’t just looking at the activated list are you?)

Hi all,
I am currently building a closed community which will potentially get quite large (business portal kind of thing). I already have shared hosting with 123-reg.co.uk however the load times on the WP blog are a bit slow and can vary due to shared bandwidth so I’m looking to upgrade and am looking for some advice on the server specs I need to look for!
I’m currently looking at possibly of upgrading to the 123-reg.co.uk dedicated server (Ghz 2.13 Quad core, 2gb ram 320Hd and 10mb bandwidth (unlimited/ monitored traffic).
Does this sound like it has enough power to cope with an expanding community or will I need something with a bit more bit?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben
change the directory name from plugin to bbpress, see if that helps.
I downloaded the zip at the bottom of this page
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/branches/plugin
Expand and copied the ‘plugin’ folder to my wp-content/plugins folder. So I have
../wp-content/plugins/plugin/bbp-admin/
../wp-content/plugins/plugin/bbp-css/
../wp-content/plugins/plugin/bbp-images/
../wp-content/plugins/plugin/bbp-includes/
../wp-content/plugins/plugin/bbp-languages/
../wp-content/plugins/plugin/bbp-themes/
../wp-content/plugins/plugin/bbpress.php
../wp-content/plugins/plugin/license.txt
../wp-content/plugins/plugin/readme.txt
My other plugins look like this…
../wp-content/plugins/akismet/
../wp-content/plugins/hello.php
../wp-content/plugins/index.php
Its a completely fresh install of 3.1 RC4 except for the bbpress plugin.
I’ve had my hands in front of my face for the last day, ready to facepalm
ch8rt, you’ve put the plugin in the plugins directory – so please confirm what you named the directory for the plugin, and what you see when you open that directory.
It’s useless cause bbPress will redirect to an URL without trailing slash.

I’ll be patient then. Thanks.
Hi!
Im trying to find a plugin or something that lets me sort different threads in a subforum, is there any solution to this in bbpress?
I changed the name of the folder to bbpress on my 3.1 installation, but I don’t think it was required.
On my 3.1 rc4 installation I have multi-site enabled and it only shows up in my Network Admin plugin menu, not the plugin menu for any of the single sites.
I just reinstalled it on my 3.0.5 installation. I left the folder named “plugin” and it appears to be working as expected, so I guess we need someone smarter than me to respond so we can figure out what’s going on.
Tried it on 3.0.5 and and 3.1 RC4. Do I need to change the name of the folder or something?
Are you running 3.1 or 3.0.x?
The themes folder can stay where it is.
Nope, I did that.
I can see that there is a themes folder in there that presumably needs moving somewhere else, but even so I’d imagine the plugin should just show in the list.
When you unzip the download you’ll have a folder called “branches” and a subfolder called “plugin”. I’m assuming you uploaded the branches folder when the plugin folder is the one that needs to be uploaded.
