 * I’ve installed bbPress 2.1 in WordPress 3.3.1
 * I have downloaded the latest Topics for Posts plugin and installed it
 * I have configured it to create new topics for new comments placed on my posts.
   However I can’t see it working.
 * Suppose I create a new post in a custom post types of mine (my setup has several).
   In the discussion panel I tick the option to create a new topic for it. Then 
   I save my post and check the forum: nothing. I try to comment my own post: nothing.
   Nothing does show up in forums. If I comment to my own post, a regular comment
   will show up and that’s it. Like the plugin never existed.
 * So I’m wondering what is this plugin supposed to do, am I doing something wrong
   in handling it?
 * Is it supposed to start a new forum thread as soon as a new post (belonging to
   any post type) is published? Or is it supposed to start one only when someone“
   comments” it for the first time?
 * Nevertheless I didn’t see it working in either way. I would really like to have
   this plugin working…
 * any help?
 * thank you! 🙂
