They use the Support Forum plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/support-forum/
Also, Akismet and possibly Bozo.
I don’t think they’re using many more plugins though? It looks like a pretty bare bones install, at least at first glance.
Sorry forgot the bbPress version – I’m using the latest version 1.0.2?
WordPress version 2.8.4
Welp… now.. after an attempted wash of the directory, reinstall of bbpress… it won’t let me go past the initial set up, it says the software is already installed… so I still have no access to the admin of bbpress as that account has been removed by bbpress… so is this crap software …. i cannot believe that, i’ve always had good luck with WP products… so i’m either NOT GOING TO USE THIS which would be a very bad thing or I am… if it ever gets fixed or makes sense, because killing the admin account makes no sense gang
The script worked for me last night and this is the second phpbb 2 board I convert. A few tips I can give whoever will try this script:
Follow the steps that come in the given file but make sure to:
1. Install bbPress 0.7 first, then upgrade to 0.8 when you have done the conversion. You can download 0,7 here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/download-previous-versions-of-bbpress#post-17770
Then you can go ahead and upgrade to the latest version (1.0.2). Make sure you update the settings in your admin panel (board path, name, etc) as you will need to get rid of your old config.php file when you upgrade to 0.8
2. If you’re hosted on 1and1, switch EXPORT_TO_FILE to false and AUTO_IMPORT_EXPORTED_DATA to true. Also add teh following code to your .htaccess file: AddType x-mapp-php5 .php (not sure if this is necessary but it worked for me).
3. I got an error saying that some query was empty, but it seems that the conversion went without any problems.
Mostly cosmetics.
– Removing the background
– Removing header (Don’t need login stuff as this is managed by Wishlist Member)
– Removing footer (Which I have already attempted to do)
– CSS updates so colours match my site
You can see what I currently have at http://www.shiftselling.com/forums/
I’m not a programmer but am a pretty logical thinker and generally do a pretty good job of cut & pasting.
I looked around and found this – http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/easy-way-to-integrate-bbpress-wordpress-themes.
That helped with the footer.php content but I got nervous around the header.php content and got overwhelmed with the stylesheet.css file.
This is something I’d like to get done fairly quickly so I’m willing to pay to have it done.

Who else should I consider calling to get this theme modified?
The creator of “kakumei” – on which Garry Vander Voort based his design?
In ernest: What are the areas where you need integrating help? Is it “cosmetics” only or deep code integration? What version of bbPress would you use … and so on.
Depending on the amount of time you want to spend on it (and your willingness to get acquainted to some cut & paste coding), I’m pretty sure that most of the questions (conc. Kakumei & it’s siblings) have already been answered here & in _ck_’s forum.
I used the Private Forums plugin for a year or so… it would randomly turn all my private posts public!
Then I checked the comments on that plugin, and a number of other users had reported something similar:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/private-forums/page/4/#post-1621
I don’t recommend using Private Forums for that reason… especially since Hidden Forums does the same thing. I’ve been using that for a year or two now, and have never had any problems.
This is what they said, but he wasn’t the support guy who fixed it:
It appears that they added the correct rewrite rules for WordPress to resolve the issue with the permalinks this can also by done from the WordPress admin under Permalinks.
My new issue with this plug-in is trying to get it to NOT create a new bbPress post every time I edit a WP post.
Addendum: To check a user’s role anywhere in your code use
<?php if (bb_current_user_can('administrate')) { ?> .....
(by replacing administrate by the proper role description)
as proposed here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-elements-viewable-only-to-admin
I had that same problem when trying to make only one register & only one login from my site with bbpress integration.
register is easy, I just wrote directly to the db from php using the hash classes included. but for login i made a kind of webservice. When I login from tomcat I just request the next url…
http://www.mysite.com/bbpress-root-dir/bb-login-check.php?user_login=USER&password=PASSWORD&remember=yes
and i wrote the next code for bb-login-check.php
<?php
// Load bbPress.
require(‘./bb-load.php’);
// Redirect to an SSL page if required.
bb_ssl_redirect();
$user = bb_login( @$_GET, @$_GET, @$_GET );
if ( $user && !is_wp_error( $user ) ) {
echo “0”;//login successfully
exit;
}else{
echo “1”; //login fail
exit;
}
?>
i hope that’s usefull…

Hey Everyone,
What is the easiest way (as of the latest BBPress release) to get the avatars for ‘topic’ authors?
I have avatars showing correctly for ‘posts’ with <?php post_author_avatar_link(); ?>
but it doesn’t seem to work correctly for the first post in topics and on the front page.
I’ve seen some other posts on this, but so far no elegant solutions. Any help?
Thanks!
Oh Kawauso, thank you so much!! This code works perfectly!!
But do you mean that normally, I should have just one profile page for WordPress and BBpress?
Easy answer. Number one requirement is, that it also has a wordpress theme.
Does anyone have any suggestions for showing the bbpress avatar next to comments in wordpress. I know a couple suggestions were given here, but, I don’t want to try the first suggestion, because they say to delete a file in my plugins, and I have a feeling that will cause more trouble than it’s worth. I saw another suggestion, tried it, but the avatar didn’t show. This probably won’t happen, but, it would be nice if there was a sister plugin to this one for wordpress… and you installed it and magically the bbpress avatars showed up. 
Wouldn’t that be nice. Unfortunately I don’t know php very well.
Here’s hoping someone can come up with a solution!
Is it possible to change the language after installation of bbPress? If yes, can you please tell me how to do it? I already uploaded the .mo & .po files in a new folder called “my-languages”.
Thank you very much for your help.
<?php if ( $wp_profile_user = bb_get_user( get_post_author_id( $post_id ) ) ) : $wp_profile_link = esc_attr( "/members/{$wp_profile_user->user_nicename}/" )?><a href="<?php echo $wp_profile_link?>">View profile</a><?php endif?>
Your profile pages from bbPress and WordPress should be in sync anyway if you’ve integrated properly…
Read through register.php in bbPress’ base directory and function bb_new_user under functions.bb-pluggable.php in bb-includes to get an understanding of how normal registration works.
Normally the user is given an auto-generated password, but the function used in the registration function will hash anything anyway.
Ah…. add a sidebar capability 
One of the things I try to do on my own bbPress-based forum, is trying to make it more and more user friendly. By saying user friendly, I want my users to click less, as that is really annoying. And give as much as information possible on the page they are.
Think of:
• Adding a search bar on every page
• Navigation should be visible from all pages
A few options that you’d need plugins for:
• Upload plugin, so users can upload images
• Signature, users love that too
• And PM system
Worth considering:
• AJAX replies (just like we have in vBulletin)
So if you’re gonna incorporate those things into your theme, think about the design.
I want to use Wishlist member to protect a page called Forum – with the slug shiftselling.com/forum.
That means I need to move the files for the forum to a different directory – currently shiftselling.com/forum.
Should I move it or rename it?
Should it be moved to a directory or a sub domain?
I am also trying find what code I could put into a the page called forum that would display the forum inside my page.

Craig

Hello everyone,
I’ve just installed bbpress 1.0.2 and bbpress integration plug-in over my 2.8.4 wordpress blog… and I am in hell.
The blog still works, from the viewer point of view (www.teknologik.fr), but the backend is a mess.
First of all, I couldn’t log in at all in the wordpress admin panel. My login and password took me to a white page saying that I didn’t have the rights. Hopefully, I had a second login with administrator right so I was able to change my “own” rights, under the second administrator login. But that was just the beginning…
Articles and Pages counter, in the main admin windows now shows “0”, although there are over 700 articles, when I do click on “Articles”.
When I try to add a new article, the ID at the end of the permalink is “1”… when the previous permalinks (when I still worked) showed four digits, like “5414”.
I’ve deleted both “bbpress” folder and “bbpress integration” pug-in but it didn’t change anything.
On top of all, I was working on a fresh re-install of the blog and the database backup wasn’t set yet, so my last backup is 3 weeks old, with tenths of new articles in between that would be lost if I had to re-install that backup.
What can I do without returning to the last backup ? Any idea ?
A million thanks, in advance…
Benjamin
Any other idea maybe?
Actually, it would be really great if I could use WordPress profile page instead of BBpress profile page, you know? Because on my WordPress, members (users=authors) can change their profile and fill up some custom fields I added and I think it’s better if they don’t have to fill up two profile pages…
Thanks
