bbPress 2.0 Plugin: Basic Setup

bbPress 2.0 is a plugin for implementing forum into WordPress website. Its based on the old bbPress standalone web application made to integrate with WordPress. This time, plugin version is part of the WordPress and its using post types and taxonomies to store all data.

Plugin is relatively easy to install and setup, and this video shows the whole process from installing plugin, explaining forums, topics and replies, creation of static pages based on templates, bbPress compatible (and not so compatible) themes and basic info about using xScape themes with bbPress 2.0 plugin.

xScape Theme Framework has built in support for bbPress with templates based on the original templates in bbPress default theme, and because of that it will make easy switching to xScape powered themes without loosing previously created functionality. To read

      I have no idea. Plugin is still not stable, and there are bugs in it, and until final 2.0 is released, you should monitor bbPress official site forum for current bugs. One of the bugs that is still not fixed and that might be the problem in your case is that plugin is not initializing URL rewrite rules on it’s own. Try to visit Permalinks settings page.
