I have just installed the newest version of bbPress to test out. I’ve installed it as a subdomain under the main domain (WordPress). I want to use bbPress as a stand alone forum…not integrated with WordPress
The default theme does not work and in the appearance panel neither of the two default themes show their screenshots. I’ve checked and rechecked my folder & file permissions which are set to 755. I created a my-templates folder and moved a copy of kakumei to this folder from bb-templates. I’ve checked the permissions on these files, 755, and switched to the new theme/location with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Seems like there is a whole lot of older information on this, but i can’t really find anything current. I keep landing on this plugin:
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wp/
Curious if anyone is using it succesfully still. It hasn’t been updated in quite some time and user feedback is marginal at best and it’s littered with various work arounds and hacks… It’s not really a plug-and-play situation either… wanted a little feedback for a waste a bunch of time.
Try to download it once more. I uploaded to my site instead of dropbox this time, should be fixed. I tested on my site and it worked…

Okay, I hate to be ‘that guy’ but I’ve gotta ask…
I created forums through the admin interface, created a page (named “forum”) and set the page template to bbPress index. So far, so good. The page loads and I can see the forums I created.
However, when I click on one of the forums, for instance, “General Discussion”, I get a 404.
I’m using the DynamiX theme and I have added the various page templates, loop templates, css, etc. from the plugin. I tested on a different subdomain and it was working, but now it’s not.
Does Twentyten somehow “create” the /forums/forum/ and /forums/topic/topic-name/ pages when it’s initialized? I looked at the functions.php included and didn’t see anything like this going on.
I have also made sure to network activate the plugin, it was previously only activated on this site. Could that be the source of the problem?
Thanks again, everyone.
no i downloaded the theme and installed it and when i fill out say information for a test user who has the same email, i dont get an error and when i know it will be successful, the page refreshes

@Adrienkb – Are you sure that it doesn’t work? I’ve tested many times and it works great. If you were testing out the registration on my beta site, then i purposely disabled the registration page and its always an update or two behind the actual updated version.
@llny – I don’t have the orginal css file to version 0.02 anymore so I can’t really look up to the css. Why don’t you try the new version 1.0 for now. A setting page is coming, I just gotta finish it up.

Hi,
I am sure this has been asked but I must not be typing the right search phrase because I can not find the solution.
I have successfully integrated a few WordPress/bbPress installations but am having an issue with the latest one I am setting up for a client.
WordPress is successfully installed.
The latest download of bbPress has been installed and uploaded to the server.
The WordPress bbPress integration plugin has been installed.
The appropriate define cookiepath and cookiedomain settings have been added to the wp-config.php
When starting the bbPress installation and configuration, I keep getting…
…problem connecting to the WordPress user database.
I know the auth keys and all the other keys are correct as well as the database prefix of wp_.
I am missing something?
Thanks,
Bert
Hi Zaerl, Thanks for your interest in this topic 
I also tried your method, but I’m sorry its little bit different.
its shows content from “whatever-you-want.php” when slug is “this” but the forum structure remain same.
something like
**************Forum Template**************
— Default Header
— Default latest discussion
— Default forums
— Default Footer
— Custom content from whatever-you-want.php
********************************************
But I’m searching, that when forum slug is “this” then i can handle every thing from scratch from “whatever-you-want.php”
like
*************Forum Template***************
— My Custom Header for forum slug “this”
— My Custom latest discussion
— My Custom forums categories
— My Custom style for footer
*******************************************
Keep in mind that this is a rude approach and that everything can be packed in a plugin.
I’m afraid what you are talking about. Is this not a secure method?
Can you please pack this code into a plugin, I’ll really appreciate your kindness. Thanks

Thanks, Ben L.
I’ve decided to just rewrite the LDAP plugin to connect with mediawiki’s database. Seems to be working so far, when I’ve tested it some more I’ll release it officially.

Probably you have deleted some posts here and there. Try to recount everything from the admin page (bb-admin/tools-recount.php). I have tested get_topic_page_links (the function that generate links) and I don’t see problems.
Your count says 1533 posts but 35*44 + 7 = 1547.
Also add:
.post img, #post_content img {
max-width: 450px;
}
to your CSS.

If you edit your front-page.php template (make a copy and edit the copy), you can remove the code about latest discussions.

It shows the latest posts inside the forums, why you want to remove it?
