Hi Syndicate, the troubles are not things pushed together (will be resolved later by styling). Trouble is that the root template files from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/extras are ignored moved into wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/. This bahaviour was tested on page-front-forums.php file. Compared to file bbpress-functions.php which is not ignored if moved to wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/. Than, it is not clear to me what to do with directories /css and /js from bbp-theme-compat if I want to use them in my custom theme.
Loving it!
Some “could be nice”s:
Frontpage: I think the 1-3 latest blog posts ought to be shown prominently somewhere on the front page.
Forum: Have you considered using the excellent WP Markdown plugin for this forum? I find it to be a really clever, future-proof alternative to bbcode.

Looks great! On the forums main page though it says “Forums” at the top instead of “Latest Topics”.
Well i am more than willing to test any fix 🙂 just point me to the file 😛
Hi guys
Just to add to my latest reply above, I started a conversion with row limis = 100 and delay time = 1 and it was succesfull up to the lines 700-799. The conversion cannot pass that point. Whatever I do. It hangs always at 799.
Thank You
Hi all. I have successfully implemented BBPress 2.1 on my WP with custom template. Now, I am trying for almost one week to customize the default bbpress theme. Based on the description here I have
– created the bbpress directory like “wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/bbpress”
– copied all files from “bbPress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress/” to the new directory above (I have checked that the all modifications of these files in my theme are visible on the website front end
– as part of my testing I have moved the root file page-front-forums.php out of /bbpress/extras into the root of my theme
BUT – no change on the forum front end (mywebsite.com/forums) – the system shows the forums as content of page based on the page.php template file (including left and right sidebars), the page-front-forums.php file is ignored. What is wrong?
BTW, the new forum design here is really great! Could you publish the template files used pls?:-)

Hey guys, today I installed bbpress on my wordpress blog. But I suddenly face a problem. After i entered mydomain.com/forums i say all the categories. Then when i click on a category it opens a page with this write :
Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/mileyray/public_html/wp-content/themes/especial/libraries/breadcrumb.php on line 88
the line that it underlines is: echo get_category_parents($ID, TRUE, $markup, FALSE );
I’m using the latest version of wordpress 3.4.1
Please help me! Thx in advance.
I want to run a contest where a random topic created during a specified date range wins a prize. Is there a plugin that can pull a “random” topic out of the database?
You can use ‘shortcodes’ on your WP pages
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
The new registered can’t create a new topic with url wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=topic
Help me please?
wordpress=latest version
bbpress=latest version
Ok, at the moment I tested this
function custom_bbp_breadcrumb($r) {
$r = ' | ';
return $r;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_breadcrumb' );
and it seems to work, but maybe there is a more elegant solution… any help is appreciated
Regarding bbpress 2.1
I have anonymous posting turned on and after the latest update, anonymous poster can use rich text editor and html. Is it safe?
Need help from some expert.
Hi, Trifon. Nice avatar.
So to clarify, what bbpress does as far as users go is just add extra “roles” regarding forums, in addition to the standard wp roles, right?
I will have to add some test users to see how email notifications and subscriptions are handled I guess.
The system looks quite interesting, but the documentation is sort of thin. There is a lot on PHP coding/development, but not much on actually using the system, as far as I can see in the Codex anyway.
For example, how about user profiles or avatars?
Thanks,
doug
As Anointed points out bbConverter is no longer being maintained but the code was used as the base for the freshly pressed bbPress v2.1 with many improvements to the conversion process.

That said though, I have not tested the Invision import process, only bbPress & phpBB but you could definitely try the import with bbPress 2.1 and let us know how it goes
Hi – the order of forums in the Forums List widget seems arbitrary and does not sort by alpha (a-> z) or by forum id (lowest -> highest) … accordingly, is there a way to force the order to appear alphabetic ..??.. i have tried using Parent Forum ID to “0” and then to “any” but both give same result of random listing of titles …
perhaps these forums are listed by most activity or posts ..??.. currently i have a default install (using latest WP and bbPress) with only one forum with some dummy data so maybe this is a setup thing – meaning it gets wierd showing list if no data ..??.. either way, i’d still like to force an alphabetic listing (a-> z) … accordingly, big thank you for any pointers that can be shared … cordially, chuck scott
Try again. 
The sequence to tag bbPress to the WordPress plugins repo is a bit wonky, so you probably got an out-of-date zip.
I just tested it now, and it appears to be fine.
Latest bbPress also and the broken links are in the left-side maim admin menu. I will need to get home to list plugins..
The latest version. I always keep everything updated.
Hi, thanks for your responses.
@Lynq : on line 357 I have :
356: if ( ‘bbPress’ == get_class( $bbp ) ) {
357: $bbp->theme_compat->theme = new BBP_Twenty_Ten();
358: }
I didn’t understand what it does exactly.
@Aadhaar Card : I have tested about twenty theme, for all I have the first error : Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84
The second error occur only when I use the “bbPress (Twenty Ten)”.
On line 84 I have : $bbp->theme_compat->theme = $theme;
Maybe the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); is missing anywhere… But I don’t know where…
John, I did some preliminary tests and the results aren’t looking good.
I left my comments on trac: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1885#comment:3
John, this is amazing! Thank you for fixing this.
I’ll have to update my installation to your latest trunk before I can test.
I will let you know how it works out.
I tried testing the single-forum-edit.php template, but couldn’t find where to. I have two separate installs, one with bbPress alone and the other with BuddyPress + group forums + site-wide forum.
For the separate bbPress install, /edit returns 404. If BuddyPress uses single-forum-edit.php, where is the edit link supposed to be?
Saw you created a ticket on trac; thanks!
I tested on Chrome 20 and Aurora (Firefox 15) and it works for me.
Most likely a JS error, or some other conflict. Marking as resolved, since it works by itself.
I have a fresh blog install of 3.4.1 and a fresh install of bbPress 2.1 RC2. I created a test forum and I see this when I’m typing up a forum post.
As you can see the text is there once I publish the post, but the input is invisible. That occurs for me when using either the visible or HTML editor.
Any ideas?
