What is the function to detect whether or not the forum is present on a certain WP page?
(this would help w/ selective loading of CSS)
Also, what’s the initiative around plugins for the new bbPress WP Plugin?
We are having a similar issue, all of the sudden the sync between bbPress and WordPress stopped working.
Debating regenerating salts, but we have several systems integrated, would have to switch em all, and don’t know if this would fix the problem..

Ya we should rename it…
Does anyone know what would prevent the forum selector, on the create new topic page, to not show up?

Did this ever get solved?
We’d love to… anything specific you’d like covered?
here’s a second one for ‘deep integrating’ with WP ( our customers struggle with that 
http://www.pagelines.com/posts/deep-integration-with-bbpress/
Wait, is this just an installation procedure or integration procedure?
First is installing bbPress, second is deep integrating..
Thanks Kevin,
@Chris, any chance we could get a link to these resources in the docs?
We’ve also put one together for Deep integration that we’ll be posting soon…
There are extra slashes and the relevant posts are screwed up. ( no link)
Also we added the bbPress addons to our ‘themes’ page:
http://www.pagelines.com/themes/
They’ve been tested in IE6 but not IE5.. (I don’t even know how we would test in IE5)
Yes, they can only be used with our WP themes.. we’ve had to hack the WP header.php to include bbPress specific stuff, there are also some bbPress options included in the WordPress themes.. (meaning we had to alter the WP themes)
I would like to give away a bbPress theme for free, but didn’t get any feedback on the thread we started about it.
It also seems like bbPress works best when with a WP theme.
you can deep integrate and include the headers/footers from you WP theme.
Then hack the header of your WP theme to include the bbPress specific stuff
we’ve done it for our bbPress addons at PageLines.

ok, will look into it.. we have much better development practices now which will allow us to do more with our resources.
not sure how much work it will be to add BuddyPress support (we get a lot of WordPress Mu requests too)
I agree, good well thought out post.
If someone gets on bbPress development full-time, then most of the issues will work themselves out.
I think whatever the case, we need to get WP plugins working in bbPress pronto.

Just checking again, has anyone figured out why WordPress plugins don’t work in integration?
Not sure about BuddyPress yet, we haven’t tested it.
Haven’t quite decided if BuddyPress is something we should think about in our devel0pment. (how widely used is it?)
We have to charge to make these types of things possible; we’ll be doing a BBPress addon for each of our current themes plus the new ones coming.
Currently the forum code is GPL; although we do things to prevent ‘free’ distribution.
I will say that being on Automattic’s good side is pretty core to our business model and I think Thesis has taken the wrong approach.
ok, found the answer wooooooo!
The ‘real’ reason this wasn’t working was….
‘magic_quotes_gpc’ is set to ‘off’ on my server (in php.ini)
All these other solutions are band-aids, my hunch is that making sure magic quotes is ‘on’ is the solution.
Is there a way to fix this issue inside a theme?
The ‘add_filter’ route only seems to remove slashes from the front-end, but they still show up in the admin.
Anybody know of a ‘complete’ fix without editing the core?
ya my fault
not used to the way BBPress saves options yet.. haha
I believe that the problem is that the plugin settings and other data are stored in the wp_options table
I don’t think this is the issue. Options set in WP seem to work fine.
Something else is causing it.. probably a global variable set in WP that isn’t set in BBPress for some reason…
coincidentally, we’re launching a BBpress ‘addon’ to our WP themes.

They aren’t stand alone, but I think BBP works best in concert with WP anyway.
