I don’t think bbPress will be a WordPress plugin any time soon. 1.1 was to have a couple new features (subscribe to topic by email, anonymous posting) and the rest bug fixes. After that, and I think after WordPress 3.0 (with the merge of WPMU and also fleshed out custom post types) there would be some more thought, if not effort, put into bbPress as a WordPress plugin.
In reply to: Defining Integration, what it is, and what its not.I know you’re being facetious, but I think that’s what a lot of users want. A forum that plays nice with WordPress, and by plays nice I mean single sign-on and it looks like WordPress. If bbPress were a plugin for WordPress, just as there are other WordPress forum plugins, you wouldn’t need to worry about the theming since the plugin would be inside WordPress. You wouldn’t need to worry about things like wp_list_pages() since you’d still be inside WordPress. And presumably, there wouldn’t be login issues since there would just be one login, WordPress.
I say presumably since I’ve never built a blog with WordPress and thus never had user registrations to worry about needing to be logged in already to bbPress.
I know I came to bbPress from WordPress (something like “forum software from the makers of WordPress” was the hook.) I never needed integration or look alike theme or even WordPress functions. So, for me, having bbPress standalone is fine since that’s how I use it. However, many people, I’d say half the support requests here, want:
1. forum to look like WordPress theme
2. log in once for both forum and WordPress
3. be able to use WordPress functions in bbPress (mostly theming, I think, but there are other requests as well.)
In reply to: Nominations for Project Lead?1. I’m not a programmer, I’m a motorcycle mechanic
2. I appreciate the vote of confidence but I am happy to be a moderator and help bbPress users. I’m certain that if Matt thinks bbPress needs a PM other than himself, he knows where to find one.
In reply to: Defining Integration, what it is, and what its not.Integration to a lot of people also means “I want the forums to look like the WordPress site”. That was referred to by some as “deep integration” where you include WordPress in the bb-config.php and then have access to WordPress functions like get_header(), get_footer(), wp_list_pages(), etc.
In reply to: Anonmyous Posting vs. Login-less PostingI think you will be a good tester. You can add your experience here:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1244
I thought there was another ticket too but I cannot find it right now.
In reply to: bbPress 1.02 Dutch translationMaybe there’s a typo in your folder name or just here. It should be
my-languages. Then the file needs to be named exactly as the define statement in your bb-config.php file. Is that all true?In reply to: Database Connection ErrorsThere could be a plugin that starts with an underscore, so it’s autoloaded. Can you look in your my-plugins directory and see if there’s a plugin with a name like
_plugin-name.php– that would autoload. I’m not sure if that will affect the count like you’re seeing.If I had to guess, I would guess it’s related to the change that was made to strip out the HTML from a post. That would rely on a regular expression (to look for things like HTML code) and could be very inefficient, causing excessive load. It’s a possibility.
Is there an autoload plugin (one that begins with an underscore) and if there is, is it the one that was created to strip out HTML?
In reply to: How to change PHPInfo()If you have control over the php.ini file I think you can change it. But normally that’s not how you would do it. You probably want an SMTP mailer for bbPress.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/smtp-mailer-for-bbpress/
You can also install swift mailer.
Could you send mail at all from your server, before bbPress came along?
In reply to: Download controlFarhad, please start a new topic for your new issue.
In reply to: What's happening with bbPress?How about hiring or paying someone to manage the project? Or paying a developer? We had a paid developer/PM with sambauers, didn’t we?
In reply to: change the login idCan you just register a new name? You have a couple posts which would not be associated with the new login.
You can change your own display name (first and last) but not the username.
In reply to: Database Connection Errors> I also had someone working on the problem and he can’t find anything on my side.
Well, it’s either the host or your side. If the host can’t find anything, then it’s probably something with your software. It’s not something that happens on a default installation.
In reply to: Database Connection ErrorsWP Super Cache will not help with bbPress at all.
If everything was OK until December, what happened in December? Did you update and software or plugins? Did the host change something you don’t know about? With a hosting company, chances are they watch things like free disk space and RAM, but that’s worth checking into as well.
Can you dump the databases and see how large they are? Maybe a plugin has gone crazy and is just adding tons of data to the database causing access to take longer. There was a recent WordPress (or maybe bbPress) discussion about this, a typo in a plugin causing tons of garbage to be added to the database causing the database to grow huge.
Do you have access to logs? Depending on what you have access to, you might be able to find something interesting in a log.
Do you have the option to turn off plugins and revert to a default theme to see if the problem still exists?
There used to be a plugin called bb-benchmark that would help with this sort of performance thing.
My guess would be that this is a plugin causing a timeout when connecting to the database. What plugins are you using?
In reply to: What's happening with bbPress?Devote some resources to bbPress? Put someone in charge of the project?
Unfortunately, the people who care about bbPress (and we complain because we care) are not always the same people who can help with programming.
In reply to: How do you make footer background transparent?Marius-, kevinjohngallagher is correct. The issues you were having were purely CSS and template issues, not bbPress issues. Just because you’re using bbPress doesn’t make your question a bbPress question. To answer those questions would not be supporting bbPress, they’d be helping you design a forum theme. I just skipped over the question initially because it had nothing to do with bbPress.
In reply to: I ve been locked out the admin moduleTry a different browser or clear the cookies in your current browser.
I didn’t know you could make a child theme for bbPress.
In reply to: What's happening with bbPress?I hope Andy sticks with BuddyPress. That project is getting a lot of love right now and I think that should continue. John James Jacoby also develops for BuddyPress.
Email notifications are built in to the latest trunk version. You can “subscribe to topic” here, for example, and you will get an email when there is a reply to your post. It requires the manual step of you actually subscribing. There were also plugins to enable this in older versions, to email you when someone replied to a favorite of yours.
In reply to: What's happening with bbPress?I don’t think anyone but you can answer the first one.
BuddyPress does have a good forum, as far as I’ve heard. You can learn more about how bbPress was integrated with Buddypress in this IRC log:
https://bbpress.org/blog/2009/12/2009-12-09-meetup/
You can ask Andy directly about forums in BuddyPress too:
Or John James Jacoby:
http://twitter.com/johnjamesjacoby
He was active here for a while and then became a dev for BuddyPress. He would be a good one to ask about the energy required.
In reply to: Login problemTry this:

Sounds like cookie integration is not complete.
In reply to: What's happening with bbPress?@tonicarr, what question are you asking that was unanswered?
Take a look at the DirectoryIndex here:
http://www.thecollegehunt.com/avatars/
This file comes up fine when you click on it:
http://www.thecollegehunt.com/avatars/default.png
This one gives a 403:
http://www.thecollegehunt.com/avatars/suresh.jpg
The permissions or ownership between those two files are different. default.png is fine. Be sure your other images have the same ownership and permission and it will work.
In reply to: What's happening with bbPress?I’m just posting the information in case someone can pick out the signs of life there. Those are the only places I know to go for information. The blog here was never a source for much information. The bbdev mailing list used to be useful, but nothing much happened there since Nov. You can look at closed tickets in trac, and you can look at the code being committed. If there is any other place to get information, please post it.
Based on all those things, there’s not much happening with bbPress, to answer the initial question.
