I understand that this theme isn't readily downloadable, but is it available for purchase? I wouldn't mind putting a bit of cash up to get it
@RegNatarajan
Have you tried this?

*i solved the issue with the forum not showing, I simply went through the install instruc. and undid some of the edits in the php file.
still wondering why I couldn’t get it to work, why it kept refreshing

hi,
I don’t know what’s going on but the site is acting weird from time to time (seems bugged) 
. Few days ago I couldn’t register and now it seems I can’t post comments in the plugin page.
Anyways, I just recently discovered bbpress and it immediately caught my attention. 
I tried to install the following plugin http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/facebook-graph-connect/ but I’m having some troubles with it. once I have followed the instructions I tried to test it by register via it, so I accepted the FB app req. and then when I got ‘re-directed’ to my site it just kept refreshing and wouldn’t stop. So I went back in to deactivate it however now my forum has ‘disappeared’. you can’t see any of the forums unless you login nor the search bar etc. just wondering if I could get some help. I know it’s in beta and all but if there is a fix let me know otherwise I’ll have to re install bbpress
* reason to I’m posting this here is of course because I can’t post on the plugin page itself, as I explained above.. weird bug:P
Adam Kayce Says in this forum post:
Apostrophe and or quotation marks cause backslash to appear.
Never mind – I got it, thanks to an old post from two years ago.
The code has changed a bit, so here’s how I fixed it:
1) open up /bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php
2) replace line 1074 with:
return stripslashes(apply_filters( ‘get_topic_title’, $topic->topic_title, $id ));
3) and line 1782:
return stripslashes(apply_filters( ‘get_post_text’, $bb_post->post_text, $bb_post->post_id ));
That did the trick for me.
{This worked for me,too. It worked on the front end and back end.}

I have a WP project with a well-established vBulletin forum which I would, in a perfect world, pull into bbPress/BuddyPress to tightly integrate with WP. I am not asking for a vBulletin importer for bbPress 1.2. I know that is a beast that is probably not worth slaying at the moment for Automattic.
With this frame of reference, I have a few questions re: bbPress 1.2 (the plugin). I have done some searching on these forums and have not found answers yet. If they exist, please point me to them.
- I assume 1.2 will cleanly upgrade from previous versions of bbPress. However, reading some of @JJJ’s posts, it looks like 1.2 may function more like a CPT plugin where everything is stored in the posts table. Is this the case? If so, will a clean migration from prior versions be possible?
- Assuming this clean upgrades are part of 1.2, would it be safe to say that following (and improving upon) some of the more cumbersome vBulletin -> bbPress migration paths (link below) would still work?
LINK: http://tinyurl.com/vb4-to-bbp
- Much has been made about how the bbPress used in BuddyPress is not really inline with the core bbPress code. Given it’s apparent design direction, is it safe to say that the 1.2 and the BuddyPress forums will effectively merge and become one code base, whether or not BuddyPress is active? If not, how will they differ?
- Are there any other glaring roadblocks to vBulletin migration that I am simply not seeing?
I am considering writing (or more likely funding the development of) a vBulletin importer script for bbPress 1.2. If I decide to go that route, I plan to give the importer back to the community. So, the goal of these questions is to help me gauge the feasibility and scope of such a project.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Sorry, I didn’t get back, I was MIA. Glad you got it resolved.

Such is life on the edge. 
I’m aware of the login issue and will fix in the next day or two.
Thanks for keeping up with the development though. It’s great to have eyes on it.
Thank you Zaerl! Now that problems is solved.
However the problem with the login field dissapearing when I visit the registration-page is still there. Anny plugin for that?

@Rich Pedley – Yes. I think I lost the ability to login at 2814. /wp-admin redirects me to /login, which gives me an error saying the page cannot be found.
Got the same problem, I have a maintenance plugin running and now I cannot enter my wp-admin, because it redirects to login. Gonna remove this redirect, hope this gets optional in the backend.
Edit: I rather think it was 2815.
Edit 2: By editing bbp-includes/bbp-hooks.php and taking away line 257:260, you will have access to your wp-admin again. If not, totally remove the function in bbp-includes/bbp-general-functions.php 998:1040.
i’ve been following the chat on the bbpress plugin thread and altough JJJ said somewhere that it will be possible it reallly doesnt seem (to me) that the plugin is going that way.
wordpress will use one theme and bbpress as a plugin will need its own theme.
@devs
dont read my comments as destructive but i feel as a user the need to voice my opinion, as a user i dont have the “god like” ability to master css/php or port my wordpress theme to a bbpress theme, its like you’re creating a forum plugin and making it difficult to use or integrate visually with wordpress…a forum plugin only for the “code masters”. try and go the simple:press or mingle forum way or have that possibility.

I share many of your concerns. I too have stumbled onto the Mingle Forum plug-in.
I have it installed along with the Mingle plug-in. This turns a WordPress site into a BuddyPress-like site with an extremely short learning curve. I had both installed, tweaked on the code to remove a couple of links that I didn’t want, modified the CSS to make a near perfect style match to my theme, and understood how to configure administrate the forum in about 3 hours.
I am not a code monkey and cannot compare the pros and cons of how Mingle Forums stacks up against the bbPress plug-in or any other solutions. The security vulnerability has also been resoled to my satisfaction.
Before I implement a solution I am more concerned with its support and sustainability. Both plug-ins have have over 50,000 downloads and the Mingle Forum plug-in was last updated 20 days ago. I had one problem/question with the installation and it was answered by the plug-in’s author within hours. Within the last 5 days the Mingle Forum’s author has posted 5 videos instructional videos on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/cartpauj). All indications are that this project is alive and well.
I am going to go live with it this week and plan to use it until another plug-in solution, which is better, becomes available.
