Hello there,
I think my question will be very easy for most people here but I am really having a hard time to make it work. I read your post about theme compatibility many times but I am still missing something.
I installed the bbpress 2.0 rc plugin in my wordpress 3.2.1 and I also looked over the internet for a bbpress theme (not sure if it is compatible with bbpress 2.0 though). What I did was:
First Time:
A) I uploaded the custom theme I found over the internet.
I copyied all the files from bbp-twentyten into the custom theme folder
The result is that I cannot find my theme in the theme directory in order to activate it.
Second Time:
A) I uploaded the custom theme I found over the internet.
I copyied the folder bbp-twentyten from “/bbpress/bbp-themes/” into the wp-content/themes. My custom theme was also the wp-content/themes
The result is that I cannot find my theme in the theme directory in order to activate it.
In both case I added the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );
Can you please give some me some help cause I feel very stupid.

bbpress: 2.0-rc-5
wordpress: 3.2.1
theme: woothemes canvas 4.4.0
I think I have not understood how to add bbpress to my site correctly.
Thusfar:
1. Installed bbpress plugin and in forum settings, set Archives Slug > Forums base to “community”.
2. Created a page with slug “community” and added
shortcode.
3. Using widget logic plugin, added some sidebar widgets to display on this page.
4. Visited /community page. My sidebars are not showing and looking at source code reveals page is using a forum archive template and not a page template.
5. Changed page slug to something other than “community”. The page then displays the sidebars I have set. However, the breadcrumb navigation still links back to the /community forum archive page without my sidebars.
How can I set things up so that the forum index appear on the page where I placed the shortcode and not on a different forum archive template page, and also have the breadcrumb navigation work correctly?
Thanks to anyone for any suggestions.
Just tested bbPress 2.0-rc-5 on WordPress 3.2.1. I assume this feature is to send emails to user that have subscribed or checked the “Notify me…” checkbox in a forum topic? I’ll try running a trace.
On another note: GREAT JOB bbPress!!! I’m liking the cleaner integration, and simple plugin installation of bbPress inside WordPress. WordPress is very refined and launching/integrating (read: seamless login/logout) with WP is fantastic. Thanks for working on this project!
So I am creating links as such:
<a href="<?php echo bp_displayed_user_domain() ?>messages/inbox">Inbox</a>
It doesn’t work.
For example if I am on the page of website/forums/activity that following link will take me to website/forums/activity/inbox.
It should take me to website/members/user/messages/inbox/
Whats going on with this link?
Hello,
I’ve installed the plugin on my site, which has a custom theme, but after following the installation instructions found here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility, all I get is a blank page if I view the forum. So, I deactivated the plugin, deleted, and reinstalled. This time I DID NOT copy any files into my theme directory, just left it as is.
Now, If I place some shortcode such as
on one of my current wordpress pages, it will show, but once I click on one of the topics, it brings me to the blank page again! I’m tearing my hair out here trying to figure this out..I thought it would be a lot easier as I work on WP sites all the time.
Here is the link to the forum that is blank:
http://foreverathletes.com/forums/forum/community-2/
Can somebody help me out? Again, I tried this route:
If this is not a custom theme under your control (meaning you are not the author) you’ll want to copy the entire “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder into your “wp-content/themes/%YOURTHEMENAME%” folder, and modify your style.css to make it a custom Child Theme of whatever your current theme is. This is so theme updates don’t wipe out all your hard work later.
…But couldn’t figure out how to make the style.css work…I modified the style.css inside of the bbp-twentyten so that the Template name matched my theme name, but this did not work. Am I missing something here?
Thanks for the help.
I have a couple other html tags I would like for the user to use like img and pre. The problem is, I don’t know how to add them to the associated html tags the user(s) can use.

How do I add banners to the pages?
Hello,
I am looking for a way to display in my sidebar the latest replies, not just the avatar and name of the topic like the widget, but the avatar, the user name and a link to his profile, the link and name of the topic and particularly an extract of his reply.
I really do not see how i can do this, could you help me?
A link to a tutorial, or other would be perfect
Thank you in advance.
This is with bbPress theme files in a custom theme and refers to the functions.php file supplied with the plugin in the sample theme.
From poking around it looks like the head_scripts() function (in functions.php) is hooked into bbp_head, which is in turn hooked into wp_head without a priority.
This means it gets added with a priority 10 whereas wp_lists.js gets called with wp_print_head_scripts which has a priority 9 causing var ajaxurl to be defined too late. (As it’s required by wp-lists.php).
If anyone else finds their ajax doesn’t work on topic pages you can get round this by changing in functions.php:
add_action( ‘bbp_head’, array( $this, ‘head_scripts’ ));
to
add_action( ‘wp_head’, array( $this, ‘head_scripts’ ), 8 );
This might not be the case with all themes and only applies if you use functions.php from the bbPress plugin in your theme but thought it was worth mentioning.
@JJJ: The plugin is Frickin awesome! Good job sir.
