Hey Guys.
We’ve made a new Support Forums Plugin for bbPress 2. It is something we made for our own website, and want to share with the greater WordPress community, as we improve it on our site we’ll release the changes accordingly. We’re probably going to put it on a git repository at some point too so that should somebody want to contribute they can.
The Support Plugin will allow you to turn all (or some) of your forums into Support Forums. With this Plugin you can implement and display user ranks, you have full control over the user ranking system including how many topics and replies need to be created for the user to go up a rank as well as custom titles relevant to your forums for each rank.
With this Plugin you can also set statuses for your topics and control who can update these, very key to a support forum, your posters will be able to tell what topics are resolved or not resolved right away.
Please let us know what you think on our blog as we spend more time on our own website.

How do I add “forum” menus to the top menu?
I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to replace the “posts” with “topics”? In other words, I would like the treatment given to “posts” on the home page to be replaced with “topics.” — featuring “topics” instead of “posts.”
2. Is there a way to allow users to search the “forum” and “topics” content?
I have installed bbPress as plugin to WordPress – everything works fine but when I am accessing a topic page the comment form is still visible. However this is not the case when displaying the forum page.
Does anyone know how to disable the comment form on forums topic page?
I have a template that is not compitablity with bbpress. When I go to www.domain.com/forums it uses the page.php template, which does not list the forums.
Without integrating anything, is it possible to drop page-forums.php into my template directory?
Hi!
I’ve installed the BBpress 2.0 RC3 plugin for WordPress and it works fine. Sorry for a newbie question but how do you add a link to my forum on my homepage menu? I have Twenty Eleven theme and would like a link called “forum”.
Can I also have like mysite.com/FORUM?
Thanks! 
if i activate my bbpress plugin beta 3, yes, in admin panel,
im getting the new menu there for adding forum and topics..
also, by defaul, bbpress creates a slug topics, forums, forum, topic etc.
but when you visit that page, it shows nothing but..
archives of “”,
and when i try creating a page and name it forums and add the short codes
its all the same..
what should i do?
What are the power features that bbPress has are they highly customizable? I am new here and i love to know the best.Please have some advice or comment then I’ll take the opinions that are real helpful.
I’m trying to make bbPress private such that a person can register, but the registration has to be approved. I’ve searched and can’t find a topic on how to do that — and if there’s a plugin, I don’t know how to install it.
I use HostMonster as my hosting platform, so was able to just basically push a button to install bbPress, but other than that — I am not sure about plug ins.
Any help is HUGELY appreciated.

Hello all. SUPER new to bbpress. I have it installed and I am able to login with issue. problem is when I click on ADMIN to make changes, it redirects me to bb-login.php?re=/forums/bb-admin/ – which is the log on screen. I cannot get past this. Same thing happens if I choose log out.
What have I done wrong?
