 * Hey there,
 * this plugin looks exactly like what i am looking for only for I cannot configure
   it.
    I downloaded, put on the plugins directory, activated it, but when i set
   it up on the discussion set ups it never saves the set up i did, every time i
   save the config it resets, which means it does nothing. Do you think there might
   some other config conflicting with it. Using wp 3.5.2, bbp 2.2.4 thanks

 * I’m adding to this – I’m having the same issue. I can see the “discussion” option
   to replace the comments with a topic or forum, but no matter what I check in 
   the checkboxes, it’s all reset when I save, and nothing is added to the forums.
 * This is using WordPress 3.5.1, with the Twenty Twelve theme, and no other plugins
   activated (save bbPress).

 * Ah… I got the reason why – I’m using a custom post type. it’s not recognizing
   it because on line 191, it sets the post types this works for (which is “post”
   and “page). I added mine and (after a few errors) i got it to work. now I need
   to figure out how to make it work 100% – that was just a test.

 * Okay, got it. [The answer was already here in the support.](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-topics-for-posts-does-it-work-with-custom-post-types-1?replies=19)
 * In your functions.php file, just add:
 * `add_filter( 'bbppt_eligible_post_types', create_function( '$post_types', 'return
   array("post", "page");' ) );`
 * just add your post type to the array.
 * And make sure you have WP_DEBUG set to “false” in your wp-config.php file, or
   else you’ll get “headers already sent” errors.

 * [@doodlebee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doodlebee/)… I have tested the
   above instructions but its still failing…
    Added the filter to functions.php 
   and wp_debug was already set to false. I had edited the single.php file so I 
   uploaded the original one back to the site… I guess post type would be post anyway…
   so I have no idea what could be wrong… still can’t save the setup for topics 
   for post plugin…
