Thanks JJJ.
I love how easy it is to understand the WP Codex.
At this point i’m looking at this page:
http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress-plugin/
But it’s not as easy as the WP codex.

I’ll be putting together a codex in the coming weeks. Just dropping an update that eventually we can unsticky these topics and have a real place for documentation.

If you have a custom theme (one which you control and maintain yourself) you can create a file named ‘bbpress.php’ in the root of your theme to act as the “wrapper” template for all of your forum content.
Template files prefixed with ‘page-‘ are for WordPress pages, and also reserved for actual Page Template designs. It’s a bit confusing, but you quickly adapt. 
WordPress custom post types use the ‘archive-‘ prefix to denote the default fallback template file if you have not created a WordPress page using the page template in its place.
You could also create a WordPress page with the slug ‘forums’ and make a template called ‘page-forums.php’ and bbPress would default to that too. There are several ways to skin this cat, and bbPress comes with the ones that are tho most flexible.
I’ll be on a work related trip through October 1, so my availability to help will be diminished. In the meantime be sure to keep your eyes out for plugin conflicts, and please document any duplicatable bugs you find at http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org.
Moderators, the power is yours.
Use the code in the bbp-core-widgets.php file as your guide. It is it’s own tutorial.
The function it serves is allowing Groups to have a discussion forum.
Currently groups cannot have multiple forums. They will be able to in future versions.
Here’s an update. I was able to get further by adding the following to ‘step3’ of the bbpress.php file.
ini_set("memory_limit", "500M");
but, it seems the import script lags behind incredibly.
Is there no way to run this on the command line?
Is there any reason why it is so inefficient with memory usage?
We are creating a custom theme and have been trying to activate “hot tags” like those being used on wordpress.org/forums and other boards. I’ve searched around the board and found threads that are pretty dated and the code isnt working. BBPress has probably moved past most of the old suggestions.
What do I need to do to add the tag heat map to an area on my custom theme on mysite.com/discuss?
It worked! Thank you so much, anointed! Now just have to sort out how to format those pesky Gravatars, but I hope I can handle it on my own (wouldn’t want to waste your time!)

But i am a really bad css coder. 
Is it possible to pay anyone or get some extended tutorials?
I found that bumping the memory limit up in my php.ini wasn’t enough. If I’m reading the WordPress admin code right, it sets a memory limit which may actually be lower than what you’re trying to use and it overrides your settings.
I added the following overrides to my wp-config.php file and that allowed me to complete the import. This was on a local machine with a large forum so you would probably want to try it with a lower limit to start.
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '2048M');<br />
define('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '2048M');
I looked at “http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks”, it reads: “For performance reasons, it is not a good idea to start your permalink structure with the category, tag, author, or postname fields.”
I can’t seem to be able to use the recommended link structures with bbpress forums and topics such as /%post_id%/%postname%/.
Will the permalink structure greatly affect the loading time of my different pages or has this issue been resolved with the latest version of WordPress?
Thats strange because i copied the bbPress files from the plugin to my WP theme (child theme) and start editing from that file.
Im inside: wp-content > themes > my-child-theme > bbpress > loop-single-reply.php and i just deleted the entire basic avatar calling code because it pulling out the name, link and avatar in one php code with a in between.
I didn’t like that because it wasn’t easy to customize so i deleted that bit and placed my own easy template tags.
<div class="mpm-reply-author-avatar"><a href="<?php bbp_reply_author_url(); ?>"><?php bbp_reply_author_avatar(array('size' => '80')); ?></a></div>
Link and title are working, avatar showing up only at 40px.
Maybe something wrong with my Child Theme setup?
Strange because i have done 2 days of editing and changing a lot of bbPress codes without any errors and all changes is made showed up.
Line 642 of your theme stylesheet says:
.reply {
float: right;
margin: 10px 0 0;
}
The float right is causing the problem. If you remove that rule, then the forums work just fine, however I am guessing it will have other side effects on the theme which I can’t determine myself.
John I need this answers…
bbPress 1.1 is translated 50%, if we don’t have a Jalali date format we cannot publish it
Having trouble getting the BBPress theme templates to work as well…
1. I followed all of the original post’s instructions, but making changes to the templates doesn’t come through on the live site.
2. I tried creating a child theme as per BJ’s suggestion above, but that wasn’t successful for me.
3. Pulled my remaining hairs out trying other solutions.
Just thought I’d mention.
Lets hope bbPress will get a useful and easy to use Codex very soon because i can’t do anything with the templates tags like this.
I’m try to make a author reply avatar bigger.
This is the code that i imported to my file but it only displays the avatar at 40x40px.
<?php bbp_reply_author_avatar( array( 'size' => '80' )); ?>
The awesome bbPress Plugin 2.0 is finally released!
So for all German users I have the language files ready for download – in formal (SIE) and informal (DU) version. Both were tested/used in production environments so should work like a charm.
Just DOWNLOAD here:

Have fun, Dave from Germany
This is now possible:
http://testbp.org/2011/08/forum-shortcode-as-comments/
Though it’s still unclear to me whether or not this relies on BuddyPress 1.5, the environment in which this functionality is showcased. It would be a very odd dependency though, so I’m hoping this would also be possible with WP + BBP alone.
#1
for main forum, edit single-forum.php file to remove
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' ); ?>
do the same thing for single-topic.php
***I am assuming you are using your own theme and are not editing the original bbpress files, but rather the files you add to your own theme.
#2
sorry, I have not yet dug through the core enough to answer this one. I’m guessing you can pass an argument to the topic output, but can’t say for sure.
#3
You will need to modify a ton of templates to do this one.
basically you are looking for:
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
and replacing it with:
<?php bbp_breadcrumb( array('include_home' => false, 'include_root' => false) ); ?>
That basically says: do not print the ‘home’ link, and do not print the ‘forums’ link before the single forum link.
include_home = ‘home’
include_root = ‘forums’
Hope that helps.
With the very exciting new “forum shortcode as comments” feature currently being tested on testbp.org, quite a few questions come to mind. Seeing as the test site isn’t really meant for real conversations, I’ll ask my questions here.
(1) For starters, I’m assuming this will also work without BuddyPress in the mix?
(2) What if I’m running a multisite, separating content into two or more blogs?
example.com – main blog and forum.
devblog.example.com – secondary blog, no forum.
So in the instance that I make a post on devblog.example.com that I’d like to attach a forum thread to, would that be possible?
(3) Has this been tested with different post formats?
(4) Also, the idea of multiple posts pointing to the same forum topic is very cool, but what about the other way around?
Say I write a post about an already addressed topic (there is an existing thread about it) but I would like to open a new thread of discussion for some fresh opinions. Being able to point to multiple threads would be very handy. Maybe there’d have to be one main topic, but others could be added as links, pretty much like a pingback.
(5) Showing the first post in the forum thread in the blog post, especially in your example, seems counter-intuitive to me. Have you considered (tried) working around that?
