Tag pages like http://dev.example.net/forums/topic-tag/test/ don’t show any topics. I can see topics count in dashboard but they don’t show up on frontend.
Just this message as if there were no tags Oh bother! No topics were found here!
P.S. Oh bother? Typo? 
Well I would be happy to test it further, the plugin says its bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress. Version 2.0-beta-3
This is a plugin straight from the wordpress site I looked over the release page but I’m not sure I wanted to take a chance killing what I had…
But I can take a look at putting the files directly onto the server which is the way we used to do it. I just haven’t done it that way since they made the auto update so damn functional…
So yes I would be happy to test it out since I don’t have much into mine as of now… I noticed it did get indexed in Google for several keywords and that made me real happy… Love that SEO…
@tofugu – Are you using Beta 3 or RC1 from the plugin branch?
@folgerj – The only donations I’m looking for are testers and contributors. 
For launch, there will probably be some auto-page creation to get the most common ones up and running right away.
We have done a bit of testing with this as it’s a major issue for us.
We’ve got the translators to work on beta1 and understand the logic as follows (based on function load_textdomain()):
1.- translated po (mo) files have to be named bbpress-xx_XX.mo with the xx being the language/country combination as on standart WordPress Codex (ie es_ES) for spanish / Spain
2.- function will look for the file under the plugin directory//bbp-languages and if it’s not there will look for it at the standart WP language dir, normally wp-include/languages but this may vary.
Hope this helps anyone with this issue. Perhaps a TXT file with this info could be included under the bbp-languages folder of the plugin.
Just tested this on Wp 3.2.1 and had no problems either editing or replying to posts on the front end.
Hi All,
hope you’re doing well.. I’m using the latest beta and implemented custom login/register/forgot pages using the page templates which come with the theme. my only problem is when there’s an error (email exists, empty password etc.) the form redirects to /wp-login.php , I can’t seem to find the way to override this url and return the user to the page he came from along with the notices/erros.. any ideas?
thanks in advance!
It’s a concern for sure, and bbPress will scale no differently than WordPress does with that many entries.
Comparatively, bbPress 1.0’s schema was purpose built for exactly what it was designed to do, and using the WordPress posts table is a bit of square peg in a round hole. bbPress 2.0 is the compromise of maximum efficiency for ease of integration. If you must have maximum efficiency and are not using deep integration already, then bbPress 1.0 is the safest bet for now. bbPress 2.0 is only going to get better as more devs use it and more people interact with the code.
Ideally I’ll get it running on a few of our sites in the .org sphere and we’ll be able to stress test it a bit more. That will be happening in the next few weeks, but isn’t as much of a priority as releasing the first 2.0 version and getting BuddyPress 1.3 out as well.
The function you’re looking for is bb_allowed_tags in functions.bb-formatting.php, and the allowed tags are stored in an array called $tags.
Create your own plugin file in /my-plugins/, activate it, and apply code to remove (unset) the desired HTML tags from the array. Or just empty the array completely (although I haven’t tested this). Below is an example where I removed anchor/hyperlink functionality in posts:
function remove_a_in_allowed_tags( $tags ) {
unset($tags);
return $tags;
}
add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'remove_a_in_allowed_tags' );
You can quickly test this by inspecting the $tags array with the following code:
// test allowed tags
$tags = bb_allowed_tags();
print_r($tags);
I’m able to get a user to register just fine, (I tested it myself) but once I’m logged in as a different user, it doesn’t allow me to see the forum. I’ve got screen shots I can share, but not sure how to upload here.
Making a subdomain is the exact same process. It has nothing to do with bbPress and everything to do with your WordPress Network configuration. It’s all neatly laid out in the codex. This is for advanced users though.
If you just want the sub-domain for cosmetic reasons (i.e. it just looks tidier) that’s not really good enough reason to set up a network site. You have to realize that enabling Network comes with a lot of implications on how you can use and extend your WordPress site. For example, only a small percentage of the plugins in the WordPress repository have been tested and made to work in a Network environment.

New here!
I got all the way through installation last week and testing of bbpress within a protected WordPress site, and love the forum – I so appreciate the simplicity and ease of the thing, esp. for someone who has little experience with this sort of thing.
My only issue at this point is that once anyone is logged in and posts a reply or new topic, the updated reply/topic displays fine UNTIL returning to the main forum page at which point it is necessary to log out and then log back in to actually see the updates. Again, I’m so pleased with the forum itself, but this may be the thing that keeps my boss from letting the forum go live 
WP version is 3.1.4 and I’m using the forum as my home page of the blog. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks so much!
You could try this plugin (I didn’t test it though):

I’m using bbPress plugin for WP. When I’m logged in, I have no problem seeing topics in my forum. But if I log out, I can still see the topics listed in the forum, but if I click on one, I get the 404 error, and there’s no place to log in. I’ve had some visitors to the site tell me they get the same results. What am I doing wrong? I’m running the very latest WP version (3.2).

I didn’t test these myself, but in the bbp-core-shortcodes.php file (of RC1 from the trac) it states the following shortcodes:
[bbp-login][
[bbp-register]
[bbp-lost-pass]
So those might work.
@ dobralog: If you followed the link in Andre’s post you’ll have the latest version. Any changes made go (more or less) directly into trac.
I made a first translation in glotpress for the french… And I wanted to test it on the beta version… I exported a .mo file from glotpress… I put it in the bbp-language folder but this not enough… What else?
Thanks a lot… This looks very promising !!
Best

I think WanGuard is the only one that works with the plugin, didn’t test it though, but it claims it does.
Aside from that none of them will work, because the plugin is totally different on the inside.
As for restricting users, try the Members plugin by Justin Tadlock. That seems to work pretty well, although I have a problem with that one too (just posted about it in a different topic).
sorry but i dont understand a thing, template files have different name from 1.0 to 2.0?
i’ve now installed the 2.0 plugin version just for test, but under the docs section of this site there are named template files which i cant find in bbp-twentyten theme.
For example front-page.php is deprecated?
now do we have to use page-front-forums?
someone can help?
p.s. sorry for my bad english
p.s.2 i’m a good wordpress theme developer

Hi There,
I have just installed the latest BBPress Beta, I have activated it with no problems and added new forums without any errors. When I go to look at my forums by following any links to them I get a URL such as http://www.sithinquisitors.com/forums/forum/sith-inquisitor-news-and-announcements/
Which in turn gives me a 404 error page. Is there something that I am missing here? I havetn changed anything within the settings or anywhere else in the WordPress/bbPress admin panel.
Regards and thanks in advance.
This should be fixed in RC. If you’d like to test it and see, you can download it from trac.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin
See the download link at the bottom.
@Carsten.M – You need to use the numeric ID of the forum. I realize this isn’t the easiest for everyone, but it’s the easiest and fastest way to develop it for now. In the future we’ll open this up to other things and build a UI for it all.
@Nate – I updated the instructions at the top with more details. Give them another go. All you need to do is copy the contents of bbp-twentyten into your theme, and merge the style.css and functions.php files together so they fit what you need – this I can’t help with because it involves code only you probably know.
