Yeah you’re best place to get support would be BuddyPress, while it’ll integrate with bbPress, I believe they do some cool stuff with code to make it possible, you’ll also get a much quicker response! 
Hmmm, I’ve deleted and re-uploaded all the files, however I am now not able to create new forums or see any options for the forum. Unless this was removed and has not been implemented yet.
Originally I was able to as I could see Forusm, Topics and Replies menu. Have I missed something?
I don’t believe that is possible in bbPress without the use of a plugin, and on doing a quick search it does bring up bbPages but it is possible it’ll not work, going by a few comments anyway? — I know you said no plugins, but that’s the only way I know how to do it using latest version released!

JohnJamesJacoby: Lots of updates and rearranging today. If you’re running on an SVN check-out you’ll want to SVN up.
I’d spotted most of the changes going in, things are looking good, and my local copy works great and as expected (I’ll post a slight issue on Trac to do with the Child Theme not being in the /themes/ directory though!)
Rich Pedley: […] I appear to have lost access to the admin menu.
There is #1357 on Trac opened up a few hours ago now which would appear to report the same issue, although I’m a little puzzled, cause I don’t recall ever seeing anything other than the Forums, Topics, and Replies CPT items in the menu? — Have I missed something that needs looked into?
Is it possible to add a page to a template?
But by only modifying things in the template directory? So not creating files in bbpress root or using plugins…
After sorting out the first issue.. I appear to have lost access to the admin menu.
I’ve updated things, but it’s caused an issue.
K thanks for the update, I’ll update the demo later on.
Lots of updates and rearranging today.
If you’re running on an SVN check-out you’ll want to SVN up. If you’re running on a zip download, you’ll want to deactivate the bbPress plugin, delete your /wp-plugins/bbpress/ directory, replace everything, and reactivate the plugin *in that order*
A first pass at WordPress capability support is now included, so that will cause issues if you don’t deactivate/reactivate.
Going to work on topic and reply count functions next.
My mistake, I didn’t communicate my issue properly. Guess it was lack of sleep. This is a bbPress/WordPress/BuddyPress issue and I am hoping somebody out there knows what I’m doing wrong.
If I could delete this post I would to start over.
I installed bbPress into WordPress/BuddyPress site. Following the bbPress installation instructions, I uploaded bbPress into a folder and renamed it “forum.”
I pointed my browser to the install page and filled out the three step form and all seemed to go well. I got an email from the bbPress installer stating that my installation was successful.
<http://lhhs69.com/forum>
This is my issue:
In order to integrate bbPress into my WordPress/BuddyPress site, I need to use the “Forum Setup” option under the BuddyPress panel in the WordPress admin area. When I attempted to use the option offered to me labeled “Use an existing bbPress installation” I am asked for the location of my bb-config.php file. When I put in the path, I get this message:
“The bb-config.php file was not found at that location, please try again.”
I have tried using the path from the root of my server with and without using the actual bb-config.php file name.
I have tried using the absolute path using my domain name with and without the file name above and with and without the “.www” in the path.
I cannot think of any more possible ways to direct my site to know where bb-config.php is located. I can see it on the server and can open it. Nothing I can see is out of place.
Anyone familiar with this issue? Thanks.

Hi people,
I’m running a (french) WP (3.0.1) site :
http://www.oreille-malade.com
There is a (not integrated) bbPress (1.02) forum :
http://www.oreille-malade.com/forum
I used to participate a lot in a forum dealing with same kind of topics (hearing issues) : http://www.sos-audition.org (phpbb)
Today one of the admin of SOS-audition.org told me they decided to close their forum in a near future. This is very sad as there is a lot of good informations on this forum. I don’t want it to disappear completely from the web !
These people don’t agree to let me import all their datas because they think it would not be “correct” for users but they are OK for me to import all topics I participated in. In other words, I am allowed to import SOME of their content.
I let more than 2000 posts on this forum those days so you can guess it would be a loooooong task for me to do it all manually.
But as they completely abandon the forum they don’t want to do anything to help me do this. So no way for me to get my hands on their phpbb database 
So here is my question :
is there a (quite simple) way to import this content and export it to :
1. either posts on WordPress
2. or topics on bbPress
Any help would be much appreciated !
Best regards
This is bbPress forum, not BuddyPress. Try asking here: https://buddypress.org/community/activity/

I installed BuddyPress and had it all working fine, no 404 errors or anything. So once I figured I had it working I installed bbPress. I chose to have it integated with my WordPress/BuddyPress site. I filled out the 3 step form and was under the impression that everything went well. Is there anywhere that I can find a fix or suggestions how to fix.
Also, I can see the new forum outside my wordpress site but even though I can see the page and can see that I am logged in, I cannot adjust settings because I can see no Admin area.

hi folks,
first time for me setting up a bbpress-forum and i was just wondering how i can integrate, like in this forum here, a thread-title-description (not resolved, resolved, and so on)?
greetings

Hi all. New bbpress user. Just for some background, I currently have a mediawiki and vanilla forums installed concurrently on the machine I wish to run bbpress on. OS X 10.6.5, php & mysql (both from darwinports) and the stock httpd Apple provides on the OS.
I receive an error after “installing” (re: unzip and move the files to the appropriate directory) bbpress and creating/editing bb-config.php
ERROR: Could not establish a database connection
I’m not much of a php developer since what I can only do is check for minimal syntax and rearrange html elements. Trying to debug the php to mysql is out of my scope. Can anybody offer insights as to what may be going on?
Cheers!

I have opened a ticket that provides a patch for xmlrpc.php.

I have opened a ticket that provides a patch for xmlrpc.php.
Just managed another way by patching bbPress’ xmlrpc.php and overwriting $_SERVER with the desired value.
// Poster IP
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = isset( $structure['poster_ip'] ) ? $structure['poster_ip'] : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
Then what I do on the bbPress Mobile side is send the data:
$params_array = new xmlrpcval(
array(
"title" => new xmlrpcval($title, "string"),
"text" => new xmlrpcval($text, "string"),
"forum_id" => new xmlrpcval($forum_id, "int"),
"tags" => new xmlrpcval($tags, "string"),
"poster_ip" => new xmlrpcval($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], "string")),
"struct");

"poster_ip" => new xmlrpcval($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], "string")),
"struct");
Sweet. In my plugin, I just made this:
if ( isset($_GET['poster_ip']) && !empty($_GET['poster_ip']) ) {
$bbdb->query( $bbdb->prepare( "UPDATE $bbdb->posts SET poster_ip = %s WHERE post_id = %d", $_GET['poster_ip'], $post_id ) );
}
And the .'&poster_ip='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is in bbPress Mobile.
It would probably be better doing it a different way, can anyone suggest something?

While developing and testing my bbPress Mobile XMLRPC interface, I have come across a situation where the poster IP would be of the server that bbPress Mobile is hosted on, not the actual poster’s IP address.
I would like to suggest that it be possible for the poster’s IP address be able to be set if the post is sent through XMLRPC. This way, I would be able to pass-through the IP address of the poster through bbPress Mobile. Fall back would be of the server’s IP that hosts bbPress Mobile.
I understand that it would currently be working correctly for a client that is on the user’s machine, such as a native Android application.
I’m going to try and figure out whether I can incorporate this functionality into my XMLRPC Client Info plugin or whether I need to patch bbPress core.
