Here’s a real basic rundown of what I did.
Add this to your theme’s functions.php file
add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );
Create a Child theme for your current theme — https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Copy the files from plugins>bbpress>bbp-themes>bbp-twentyten into your child theme folder.
Go to your WP Admin and activate your child theme
Edit the child theme as needed to match your site. You may be able to get by with just editing yourchildtheme>css>bbpress.css, but you can change any of the theme files to make the forums look however you want.
Rather than hacking the core, you should put that code into your theme’s functions.php. That’s what apply_filters and add_filter is for!!!!!!!!!! 
Add this to your theme’s functions.php:
add_filter( 'get_topic_title', 'strip_the_title_slashes', 20, 2);
function strip_the_title_slashes( $title, $id ) {
return stripslashes( $title );
}
add_filter( 'get_post_text', 'strip_the_text_slashes', 20, 2);
function strip_the_text_slashes( $text, $id ) {
return stripslashes( $text );
}
i have thats the thing it saves all my forums and stuff after the reinstall
Old custom built theme for BBpress. Most of the Automattic sites are just like that
Really need help with this
i need to remove all old files and get new ones
How can i do a complete uninstall of bbpress?
So i can reinstall and everything should work
I had built my own theme, but when installing the BuddyPress I did choose to use the default BuddyPress theme.
I will probably edit my theme to work with BuddyPress. It says that I can go through a step by step edit of my theme, so I will try that 
Right now I am wrestling the fact that I can not get it into my language. Yet…
Ok, I tested now on the test-server.
Write my experience here for you who wonder yourself:
I have Wp lasest installed
I had installed and tested bbPress 2.1 the last week
I now installed BuddyPress as a plugin and did the installation without activating the forum.
Then did go back to the BP settings and activated site wide forums. Then voilá the forum was integrated part of BuddyPress.
Way to go!
I like
Sorry to “bump” this, but I was really hopeful that someone would be able to help
Hi Everyone!
How on earth do I get rid of the brackets that are at the end of every froum title line
ie: General Chat about Moving/Settling In (1, 1)
Viewers don’t know what there for, my client wants them removed and I can’t find the right line of code to do this.
I would really appreciate someones help on this.
THANK YOU
Is this a plugin I can test now, or “in the works”?
I only want people to register to the forums
isnt this possible?
It is the same as to register in WordPress.

When registered in WP they can participate in the forum. At least my test forum works like that.
Any developer / code genius that would like to look at this?
Ok, I had to install the very last WP.
Now it works, but not with the embed code. I need to use the

That is the best also I recon
Have you done anything else than installing bbPress 2.1?
Any configuration?
I have tried to paste YouTube original URL and the short embed URL, but none of those are working. I’ll do some more testing with turning off different plugins to see if that affects it.
Thanks for clearing it up
This is what happened to me… it my help someone else.
I deactivated all of my plugins by accident trying to hunt down a piece of code inside a custom plugin.
This caused my forum to disappear and continually 404, although everything was still there.
By changing my Permalinks and then changing them back to what they were originally this issue is fixed.
Good luck to anyone who reads this!
Settings > Permalinks > Save (Try just saving first, if that doesn’t work, then change them, save them and then change them and save them again).
Hi,
I’ve notice an error in the bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form() function :
indeed, the return apply_filters tag is “bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form” instead of “bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form”.
Some comments are also copy/paste from bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() function.
That’s all, a small fix for the next release please ? 
Thanks
I have installed BBpress on my wordpress site and all of a sudden when i go onto my forums page the categories are not showing its just a white page with template
i have tried re installing and still no luck
Please help
I really like the theme on this side, how can I get my site to look like in a similar way without having to write lots of code? Perhaps this is a theme that you made yourself or is it a theme that’s out to just bbPress.
In any case, I think it looks good and I would like something similar
Thanks for your help.
I hope someone else can find out what to do because I don’t know s**t

not a good idea to harcode filenames in the code. I meant rename the files that you have uploaded.
Can i change that in the code or…?
There are a few things I really always look at when participating in a forum, and that is “role”, “total number of posts” and “registry date” of the ones who answers the topic.
By looking at those few informations I quickly make up my mind as to how much weight I should put on the persons opinions.
If the person has 1256 posts and was registered 09.09.2008, then I often would add more weight to that person’s opinions than a person with just 5 posts and registered 04.20.2012…
So, is there a way to add some php code tp for instance
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
to get:
– User’s total number of posts
– User’s registry date
I was able to get the user’s role by following this:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/displaying-user-role-beside-their-replies
Thank you

Another thing…I looked at the code https://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org/branches/plugin/bbpress.php and it seems to seek bbpress-sv.mo not bbpress-plugin-sv.mo so you might try renaming the file again (sorry!)
