I have an existing Vanilla Forums instance sitting in /forum. I plan to migrate that site over to the bbPress setup that I am putting in now, but when I installed using the Add Plugin, it didn’t give me a path option and wound up in /forum/forums/forum or some such.
Is there a way to use /forums during the initial install to start simplifying, or am I a bit stuck with this piece in place and Vanilla still installed on my server?
I’m making a custom wordpress theme, but I want bbpress to use the twentytwelve themes.
I know how to make it use my custom theme css, but that’s not what I want, can anyone help?
I have the forum settings to 15/topic, and 25/replies.
The forum isn’t live yet, and I had testers take it over the limits, and bbpress won’t create new pages, it just dumps everything into one long scrolling page.
This is a brand-new installation of vers. 2.5.4 on WP 3.9.2
any suggestions?
Just getting started with BBpress – moved over a phpbb forum.
Just wondering, what are users “must-install” plugins?
We’re use white text on a dark background in our BBPress Forum.
The problem that we’re having is that the Insert/edit Link Box defaults to white background, now with unreadable white text.
Can the background color of this message window be modified?
If not, is there a way I can set the text in this message window to display as dark, while retaining the white text on the forum?

Hi all.
I have installed bbPress, and love it.
I have also installed WP-Members plugin, so that I can gather some additional user meta data and control user access to the wider site.
However, although new users seem to be given the Forum Role of “Participant” when they register, they don’t seem to be able to post on the bbPress forum. Even if I elevate their forum permissions to Moderator, they still can’t post.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem.
Thanks

Hello! I’m new to BBPress and this is my first installation.
I’m getting � “REPLACEMENT CHARACTER” showing up. Usually this means there’s some encoding interpretation problem. I’ve added the following meta to my heading, but am still getting the replacement characters.
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″>
Any ideas on how to resolve?

Hello,
I’m having a problem importing a vbulletin forum into bbpress. It keeps telling “no forums to convert”, “no comments to convert” for every item “no ….. to convert”. I didn’t create the old site I am taking this from but when I got to page source, I see vBulletin 3.8.2 so I’m guessing that’s the version it is.
Also the database doesn’t show any table prefixes, it just has “access” as the first one, “adminhelp” as the second and so on.
The site is http://troianiwebdesign.com/gulfstar – wordpress version 3.9.2 – bbpress version 2.5.4
Please help me figure out the problem so I can get this moved over!
Thank you!
We just created a new forum at http://sovereignduty.com and all has been going ok until a user reported that a new topic she was trying to create was not working. I created myself a test participant account and tried to create the same topic she was using the same text and experienced the same issue. The topic is not created. I took her text, copied it into notepad and pasted it in to the new forum topic. There was one link that I created but no other html besides that. Any suggestions on where I should be looking, or doing to correct this?
Thank you in advance
Dan
Why are the replies showing above the topic and how can I get topic above replies?
It appears that the time stamp on the replies (being newer than teh topic) are showing up above the topic.
