If you view the source of the page that’s displayed where the forum list should be, what is present? If you can post the source of that as a text file, someone can look at it and see how far the bbPress functions got and what might have failed.
Or, maybe that forum.php file is incomplete or otherwise damaged? Can you download a new copy and compare to yours?

The really strange thing is, the Dashboard shows 18 forums (which is the correct number), but bb-admin/forums.php just won’t display them.
I suppose I can try disabling all plugins, and see if forums.php then displays the forums properly?
@ gerikg: I can, but I’m not sure what it would accomplish. I suppose the nuclear option works if all else fails. Though, if it’s a database issue, will reinstalling bbPress help?
@ chrishajer: I have replicated the problem using IE8 and FF3.5 under WinXP. For thoroughness, I can check FF 3.0.x under Linux, but I don’t think it will make a difference.
Everything else about the admin, from the Dashboard on through all the rest of the pages, displays properly – all the settings, the posts, the users, everything.
Which files do I start loking in chris? Or just might change the theme. Can you tell me which themes in the bbpress showcase are newer ones? Maybe “Structure” is an old one not compatible with bbpress 1.0 and above.
Thanks.
The 80 you have set in tags.php is completely unrelated to how the tags are being displayed in front-page.php. You can change tags.php and watch the effect on this page:
http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/tags/
If you noticed, the same function is being called in both files.
I have this near the top of my front-page.php:
<p class="frontpageheatmap"><?php bb_tag_heat_map(); ?></p>
That’s where you would make the modification.
front-page.php does not use tags.php. Those two different php files do two different things. tags.php displays this: http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/tags/
front-page.php displays the front page of your forum:
http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/
And the tags are just a small part of the front page, provided by the function bb_tag_heat_map();, called with whatever parameters you want.
I like the general notice, my head is not working today, what is that exactly? Just the sticky front topics?
You thought about having the sidebars in the forums like your main site?
Sounds like it. Can you reinstall BBpress?
I have bbPress 1.0.2 installed, integrated with WP 2.8.4 using only the built-in bbPress integration functionality.
I would suspect a DB issue, except that the front-end can read/write to the appropriate DB tables.
yes https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chandersbs your profile shows all the posts you made. (at the bottom)
I’ve custom-themed my bbPress installation to integrate into the rest of my website:
cb.net forum
Any comments or criticism are welcome. I intend to release the theme once it’s polished.
@InvTrdr: The back-end (bb-admin) isn’t themed.
I’m having a very strange problem with my bb-admin Forums (forums.php) page: none of my forums are displayed.
On the front end, all forums are visible, and posts/replies can be added.
But on the back end, it is as if bbPress can’t read the forum list from the database, or something.
It will let me add a new forum, but even a newly added forum isn’t displayed.
Has anyone seen anything like this? I’ve tried searching the bbPress forums, but haven’t run across anything even remotely similar.
I am trying to embedd bbPress inside a WordPress page.
I have followed instructions here on how to use iframe to do that.
Now I want to remove all the header information and the blue background so the installation looks cleaner on my site.
The current header.php file can be found at http://shiftselling.com/forum/bb-templates/derleth/header.php.
I’m using WordPress 2.8.4 and bbPress 1.0.2
What is the minimum I need in my header file?
Thanks!

Hi All,
I’ve been trying to find installation instructions for bbpress on WordPress MU but couldn’t get what I was looking for.
I have followings:
WordPress MU on http://domain.com
I’ve one blog on this MU install lets say http://blog.domain.com
I want to install bbpress on only one blog so that it is accesible from http://blog.domain.com/forum
Can anyone help me out to get it done with simple instructions.
Tx
I see myself heading over to scriptlance to see if I can find someone to hammer it in somehow.
Hold that thought… This was ridiculously simple and it just popped into my head as I was typing… iFrames.
Darn! It Works! All I did was create a Sidebar as the center of the page, put an HTML widget in it with: <iframe name=”FRAME1″ src=”http://andresferraro.com/forum/” width=”100%” height=”1000″ frameborder=”0″ ></iframe>
All this into a page called “Forums” … So now my bbPress in /forum is accessible by the WordPress page /forums (note the “s” – one URL will got to bbPress, the other to WordPress) and wrapped inside a WordPress page – With a WP sidebar, header, navigation and footer.. Sure, there might be some duplicate stuff between the bbPRess header/footer and the WordPress one, but it looks a lot better than breaking the site’s continuity.
Check it out! http://andresferraro.com/forums/
Seems I was trying to launch a rocket to the moon when all I needed was some more coffee.
Thanks for the brain jog!
That is it. In this link http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/tags/ you see there a total of 54 tags so far on the big test box on the left. On the right only a maximum of 40 are displayed. How do I change the number of tags to be shown in the box on the right? Like say just 20 or 30 or even 50 if need arises.
Thank you.
Just saying that bbpress plugins are like wordpress plugins doesn’t help. please give us more info! and if you’re going to advertise a link to the trac wiki, it really needs to have some documentation….
I haven’t used this personally so I’m not sure if it would work for you… but this is the closest plugin I can think of!
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/topic-icons/
There was a plugin called post count plus that worked up through 0.9:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-count-plus/
I don’t know of anyone who has been successful in getting bbPress inside a WordPress page yet.
I’m trying to wrap the whole Forum in a WP Page. If there’s a resource limitation I can always try to get more CPU resources.
The thing is its so much easier to just use the WP theme to control the layout and other widgets – I have to mess with very little code. Hopefully just enough to get bbPress to show. So far I’ve tried calling bb-load.php with <?php ‘/home/userpath/public_html/forum/bb-load.php’; ?> inside the PHP widget but I get either no output or a path error depending what I load. Am I wrong to think I’m not that far from getting it to display inside?
