What about https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/ plugin
I mean, on the 1.0.2 installation of bbPres I’m testing, looks like there is no such feature.
The https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/ plugin page says:
Requires bbPress Version: 0.9 or higher
Compatible up to: 0.9
An now what? 1.0.2 is higher than 0.9 
Which plugin are you using on the bbpress.org forum to allow users to enable the Notify me of followup posts via e-mail?
( – this is the same story about https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/ive-installed-bbpress-v102-but-it-doesnt-look-like-this-site
– this is a big leak in the spreading-concept of the bbpress staff
– this plugin is NOT an option that may interest or not o_O while is a must instead
– Don’t you think?)
what about loading my picture in this box on the left?
This question is double , ’cause I mean
– how to upload and display my picture in my profile in this bbPress forum
and also
– how to upload and display it on the forum (bbPress made) I’ve installed on my test system.
thank you for any link and or explanation
@ Ashfame: I thank you, but in the mean time I suppose your answer is directed to all the readers, ’cause obviously that one is the first site I’ve found while searching for bbPress themes.
The issue is that none of the two themes bundled with bbPress and none of the themes you can find out there is structured and logical as the one that any new potential bbpress user finds on the bbpress.org forum.
Two columns https://bbpress.org/forums/
on the left forums like a navigation menu
in the middle, recent topics
on the left bottom the rest
At least, for non-gurus, the staff should provide the instructions on how to customize the position of those “areas” (if they don’t want to share their theme – and I warn them that this is against any product-spreading-logic)
The best is to provide a really similar layout maybe with other colors and fonts.
To give you an idea, if you goto phpbb community forum, “what you see is what you get” and this is the correct approach… meant as prevent yourself hurting who will try out your product.
I hope you understand this is a kind suggestion to bbPress staff.
And again @ kevinjohngallagher, you should consider that those who may spread your product, most of the time, are not coders nor html-css-php experts. So, no layouts available and no easy customization instructions means no spreading, that as obvious consequence, could lead to no success of bbpress.

Yes you are right about the deep integration.
Matching themes this way is a solution but it comes with a performance penalty but its economical at initial stages.
In that guide, since WordPress is loaded too.
Instead of calling bbPress header file, we call the WordPress header file so as to bring the code from there. Same goes with the sidebar and footer.
That’s how forums are housed inside WordPress theme.

@ kevinjohngallagher and @ the rest of the bbpress staff.
I landed on bbpress searching for a nice forum, and i’ve found it because I do use wordpress.
Well, as any other person, I’m impressed by the apperiance and because I found it really attractive, I decide to download and mess myself up to install it and get it working (not much hard to be true).
When at the end I find that the look and mainly the page setup is totally different… you should understand @TheNet (who started this topic).
Anyway, I think that bbPress staff, should at least release such kind of three columns layout for the main page.
This for the simple reason that there is a number of new bbpress users that would start using this forum because they like as they see it and also because it is more logic and readable such kind of layout.
The same % of people, and I suppose they are not the minimum part, is choosing wordpress and would choose bbpress, because they are simple and effective without being an html-css-php-GURU
This may potentially lead to have them to try bbPress out, see that this kind ot theme layout is missing, see that is not easy to find bbPress themes out there and f**k-bbPress-off 
.
Not realy a good idea in terms of bbPress spreading.
Hope bbPress staff will think about this.

@Ashfame… Please request to wpwebhost to remove stupid social icons or change their style or placement. I can’t read your post because of this shit. See it here
I don’t know why people don’t understand how to adjust graphics in various screen resolutions.
Hope you’ll never mind.

I currently have several sites running standalone bbpress.org with deep integration. How would I convert over when this new plugin is developed?
I would echo ricardouk views that It would make sense to just display the forum on a wordpress page to avoid the hassle of fiddling with different themes.
What is likely to be in the core? I would like to have plugins in the core or optionally built in and maintained as core plugins specifically these ones.
Adsense for BBPress
Ajaxed Quotes
Akismet
Allow Images
BBClitcha
BBCode Buttons
bbPM
BBVideo
Terms of Service
I would think all of them should be in the core except maybe Adsense for BBPress
I am not a computer guy but if you want a dummy tester I would fit the bill
Now I’ll read as many docs I can, but I would suggest bbPress documentation editors to write in an explicit way
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/
if the existent WordPress theme is automatically applied or if this is not possible, if it must be hacked or what ever
Thank you
R.

Hi,
I’ve been very careful with a fresh install of bbPress and testing functionality at each step of integrating with WordPress. I have the problem narrowed down to this code snippet that goes into the bb-config.php file:
/* Deep integration */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') && !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')){
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-blog-header.php' );
header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
header("Status: 200 All rosy");
}
No feedback yet (it was Thanksgiving Day yesterday after all) but I hope this will help you, help me.
Best Regards, Karl

JJJ and Crew,
I have been waiting a long time for this plug-in. I can hang on, as long as I know it can do what I need. I am not sharp enough to look at the current files and understand how it gets implemented; therefore, I have one basic question.
I am using my WP install to deliver the equivalent of an online course. I want to provide a forum for each module within the course. So, with the bbPress plugin, will I be able to put a given forum on one page and another forum on another page?
It appears that most of the presentation is controlled by code on a page template. I could create multiple page templates, as needed. I just don’t know if your solution will allow me to display a specific forum on a specific page.
Thanks for your work on this!
Did a little install on a “new” site. WP 3.0.1, BP 1.2.6, child theme with nothing but the style sheet pointing to the default so I could add the styles from the bbpress. Copied the bbpress template files into the child theme.
Now, things worked except they looked awful. Looking at the template code for all the files that started with page (page-bbp_front.php, page-bbp_topics.php, and page-bbp_form.php)
<div id="container">
<div id="content" role="main">
This causes a problem because container is also used by bp-default, therefore any child theme would fail to look good.
Changed html code to:
<div id="bbp-forum-container">
<div id="bbp-forum-content" role="main">
Then added css styles for the new ids within the styles.css for the child theme:
Looks OK. But needs work:

Hope this helps.
I’d totally agree if there was built in functionality within WordPress for image uploads by subscribers… which there isn’t.
hence better served by a plugin

Any word yet on when we are going to see some type of integration or plugin?? I’m dying to find out. Also, Is there any easy way to integrate bbpress into my current wordpress site without having to learn bbpress code to make it look seamless? I actually love learning but don’t have the time right now, 5 sites in 6 months…
Hello, here is the update in order, I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, re-added the plugin, switched to twenty-ten theme, deactivated all of my plugins and the bbpress plugin still does not show up.
RamiuzNo, Akismet is designed for blogs, not for forums. Which is why I don´t use it for my forum, but for my blog.
No, Akismet was designed to catch SPAM, anything from comments (blog/site) to posts/thread on a forum (bbPress), they’re all the same!
