After I used the import wizard to import all messages from my old bbpress installation the message “Oh bother! No forums were found here!” is displayed. When I directly browse the form it seems to work, but when using the navigation the same message is displayed.
All forums are published as public, not hidden.
Any clue what might be wrong?
I found a bug in the official release of bbpress 2.0. The dates are displayed as %d/%m/%y at %H:%M. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
Lets hope bbPress will get a useful and easy to use Codex very soon because i can’t do anything with the templates tags like this.
I’m try to make a author reply avatar bigger.
This is the code that i imported to my file but it only displays the avatar at 40x40px.
<?php bbp_reply_author_avatar( array( 'size' => '80' )); ?>
Hi all!
I’m using this WordPress theme called “Ari” and I’d really love to add bbPress to my blog. However, the styling on the topic page is completely off and I just can’t put my finger on what’s causing the problem. If anyone could have a look and help me out on this one, I’d be thoroughly grateful for your help!
Here’s an example of the issue: http://www.kahvel.ee/forums/topic/ios-5/
Hello,
I have just updated my test site from buddypress 1.3 to 1.5
and installed new bbpress 2.0 plugin and it looks/ works good, with our custom theme
thanks!
we have over 10k topics in buddy press group forums,
anyone successfully managed to move all group forum topics/posts to standalone bbpress forums?
is there any converted available (or any chance someone is working on it)?
The awesome bbPress Plugin 2.0 is finally released! 
So for all German users I have the language files ready for download – in formal (SIE) and informal (DU) version. Both were tested/used in production environments so should work like a charm.
Just DOWNLOAD here:

Have fun, Dave from Germany
Our website uses groups as a replacement for boards. We would like to migrate our BuddyPress forum to bbPress 2.0. Now that tags are working we can cut down our board count from ~30 to 4, handling the remaining categorization with tags, such as ‘physics’, ‘android’, ‘networking’ and so forth.
Upon import, it would help a whole lot if for each group we could select which tag(s) we’d like to apply to all posts inside it.
Example:
All posts within
http://jmonkeyengine.org/groups/troubleshooting-physics
Will be moved to
http://jmonkeyengine.org/forum/board/troubleshooting/
and have the tag ‘physics’ applied to it.
As admin, when setting up a new forum, under “Forum Attributes” there’s a “Type” and I can apparently choose between making a “Category” and a “Forum”. What is the difference?
As far as I can tell, you use a “Category” if you want to group a collection of forums under a parent forum, but you don’t want that parent forum to be a place where users can post. Did I understand this correctly, and is this the complete scope of this separation?
Allow the forum(s)/topic(s) created in the main site to be able to place in any sub-site(s) or any webpages (wiki, post, page and etc.) within the main site. That is, users need not visit the forum(s)/topic(s) at the main site for discussion. They can discuss them at any places where the forum(s)/topic(s) have pulled in from the main site. Thanks.
With the very exciting new “forum shortcode as comments” feature currently being tested on testbp.org, quite a few questions come to mind. Seeing as the test site isn’t really meant for real conversations, I’ll ask my questions here.
(1) For starters, I’m assuming this will also work without BuddyPress in the mix?
(2) What if I’m running a multisite, separating content into two or more blogs?
example.com – main blog and forum.
devblog.example.com – secondary blog, no forum.
So in the instance that I make a post on devblog.example.com that I’d like to attach a forum thread to, would that be possible?
(3) Has this been tested with different post formats?
(4) Also, the idea of multiple posts pointing to the same forum topic is very cool, but what about the other way around?
Say I write a post about an already addressed topic (there is an existing thread about it) but I would like to open a new thread of discussion for some fresh opinions. Being able to point to multiple threads would be very handy. Maybe there’d have to be one main topic, but others could be added as links, pretty much like a pingback.
(5) Showing the first post in the forum thread in the blog post, especially in your example, seems counter-intuitive to me. Have you considered (tried) working around that?
