You can’t link to files on your computer. It’s always http. You’ll need to upload them to a service like Photobucket or your own web server before you can link to them.
Or, you can try ck’s bb-Attachments plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/
Not that bb-Attachments may not work in 1.0.2, or you may need to read through the thread to find code changes that will make it work.

@Gautam : Thanks for the quick response. That did work. I would think /%category%/%postname%/ is a pretty popular structure though.
Maybe it’s not working for you because of the permalink structure you have. Try having it simply /%postname%/.
I am having issues with permalinks as well in 2743. The forums work if I use the default permalinks (?bbp_forum=x), but if I turn on custom permalinks (/%category%/%postname/) then the forums themselves 404 (forums/forum/x). The page I setup with the list of forums works correctly with permalinks enabled, but none of the links to the forums do.
I have tried turning them on and off multiple times.
Appreciate any other ideas anyone might have.
Still not a true WYSIWYG editor.
CKeditor and TinyMCE, you can copy image, links, words on any site and when pasting looks exactly the same. When you hit send on BBpress, you get a bunch of messed up code.

I’ve installed CKeditor and TinyMCE, tweaked and messed with the code for weeks. I then installed the same two editor to phpBB and Drupal and they both work fine but the forum format are ugly. It seems like BBpress cannot output rich text. I might be wrong, but there seems to be nothing right now. Just a heads up.
I’ve ported over the changes to KSES and clean_url into a branch in the BackPress repo ready for bbPress 1.0.x branch work.
If anyone has cycles to review and test would be great

I started from scratch and I’m trying to add it to the menu
Ok, here are the steps to test the plugin:
- Upload the plugin folder to the
wp-content/plugins directory & activate it.
- Go to
Appearance -> Themes & activate the bbPress TwentyTen theme.
- If you’re using permalinks, go to
Settings -> Permalinks and click the save button.
- Go to
Pages -> Add new & select bbPress - Forum index in the template selection in the right side, give the page title Forums or anything and press publish. You can repeat the step to add pages like add new topic, topic index page etc.
- Go to
Appearance -> Menu if you want to add those pages to the menu for easy navigation.
- Go to
Forums -> Add new & write a forum title, description and press publish.
- Now go to your blog’s home page or that forum you created or directly here – http://www.example.com/bbtest/forums
- If you go to that
/forums url, hopefully you’d see the forum listed which you just created and the new topic form.
- Browse, test & report bugs

I’ve tried

Each of them go to Page not found page.

Edit: BuddyPress also already has a built in forum.
That “built in forum” is bbPress-standalone only. BuddyPress already has the code to integrate bbPress-standalone into it, but as the bbPress-plugin is an entirely new start from scratch, that code would have to be changed if we want to itegrate bbPress-plugin into BuddyPress. That’s why I said “No BuddyPress integration yet (I don’t know if jjj’s working on that, but I don’t think so).”. jjj = John James Jacoby = lead developer of bbPress and BuddyPress.
Did it clear your confusions?
I’m working on a site and have been trying to implement bbPress into my WordPress theme with no luck. Do you think I should wait for this plugin? If I do go ahead and use bbPress, will the bbPress posts be easy to integrate into the plugin?
I completely disagree with you.
@ alanchrishughes
Both are wrong. BuddyPress already allows ways for adressing the entire site in multiple ways. And bbPress already has a profile (which is the basic wordpress user profile). This can be heavily extended with the help of some coding/plugins (other then buddypress).
So again, there’s no real reason for them to “join” in any kind of way. But seeing as both of the plugins are from automattic, I see them intergrating them into each other in some sort of way. Just like akismet.

I have the same problem. Lots of spam registrations and it is very complicated to delete the users. After every user I deleted I land on the start page. I tried a plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/delete-all-bozos/, but it did not work.
Yeah my understanding was always that the two were going to have some obvious basic integration options, nothing heavy.
You could look at Buddypress as a bbPress plugin that gives you some extra profile information and a “wall.” And you could look at bbPress as a Buddypress plugin that allows you to address the entire site including people you haven’t friended.
But as JJJ is heavily involved in both i am sure he is going to make it as easy as possible to combine the 2.
I ran into this bug today! Just a note that favorites.php is used to create favorite pages in bbPress v1 too
@alanchrishughes
BuddyPress and bbPress are two different projects, therefore its up too the user to find/make a solution for them to work together. The small changes he’s referring too is probably stuff like letting the user links go to the buddypress profile, etc..
@Gautam
One can always try.
