I don’t believe there is a definite date.
In reply to: Not the typical integration threadThere was a post along these lines recently but I can’t seem to find it. It was by sambauers, and this is close but I don’t think this was it. Maybe read this whole thread?

In reply to: Hide IP Address and Anonymous PostingIn reply to: bbSyncIt does not work with WordPress 2.7 AFAIK. bbPress 0.9.0.4 and WordPress 2.7 don’t integrate. If you want something similar for WordPress 2.7, you might have a look at bbPress Live:
In reply to: Basic integration screencastThe latest stable version of bbPress that integrates with WordPress is 0.9.0.4. That works with WordPress 2.5.x which is fairly old and you’re already past.
I don’t think there is a current stable version of bbPress that integrates with anything current from WordPress. WordPress is moving faster than bbPress right now.
What do you need out of integration that makes it important to integrate bbPress with WordPress? I’m asking honestly because I don’t understand why people do it. Thanks.
In reply to: Basic integration screencastWhy not just upgrade to 2.7 or 2.7.1 (imminently)?
In reply to: Controlling who can create new postsHow about the hidden forums plugin?

You will find lots of what you need in plugins:
In reply to: Adding a right sidebar to kakumeiSo, what’s not working now? Latest discussions is OK, but the forum list is too wide?
In reply to: Adding a right sidebar to kakumeiChange this:
#sidebar h2to this:
#main #sidebar h2and it will work.
In reply to: Adding fields to Forum Manager forms (0.9.0.4)This bbPress forum uses a different icon for each forum:
Here’s the plugin:

Not sure about the “detailed information field” – isn’t there a forum description already?
WordPress plugins do not work inside bbPress. The advice is normally to port it from WordPress to bbPress but I don’t believe I’ve seen any documentation on how to do that.
In reply to: New WP Posts to create new BBPress TopicYou used to be able to do this with BB Sync. With the new versions, I think there is a bbPress plugin for WordPress.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-live/
The plugin author posted how to use it a while back but I can’t seem to find it. If you’re using WordPress 2.7 and the alpha of bbPress, I think bbpress-live is the way to go.
In reply to: Adding a right sidebar to kakumeiThat doesn’t sound right. You can cram pretty much whatever you want into whatever space you have.
Have you looked at some of the other themes that are available?
In reply to: Google doesn’t like my forum!Yep, there’s a big difference between page rank and index stats.
In reply to: Google doesn’t like my forum!What makes you say Google doesn’t like the forum? It looks to me link there are about 209 topics (188 + 21) and in your support sitemap, there look to be 209 <loc> which is perfect. There is no robots.txt interfering with indexing. There is no meta tag that interferes with indexing.
Checking google, it looks like there are 325 results here:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Areclaimyourskin.co.uk%2Fsupport
If you take out the 79 pages with the word “tag” in the result (which Google indexed even though you didn’t list them in the sitemap), you have 246 support pages indexed.
You can also do this, http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Areclaimyourskin.co.uk%2Fsupport+-tags and get 198 results, also very close to what you have in the forum and the sitemap.
What results were you expecting that you did not receive. Also, does Google Webmaster Tool say anything? Any warnings or errors or anything like that?
In reply to: Change Design of PaginationCan you post a link to your forum please? I’m sure someone can come up with a solution for you if they can see the markup and the CSS.
In reply to: Private Messaging ExtendedAre the functions capitalized in the same manner? Windows doesn’t seem to care about capitalization, but Linux does. I’ve had that trouble with WordPress plugins before, where it seems the plugin was developed on Windows and the function was called
function DoThis() {, so callingdothis()stops working on Linux where it was fine on Windows.Could that be a possibility?
In reply to: Malformed Link Markup in Posts?In reply to: Theme RequestPlease post your contact details here and then this thread will be closed and people can contact you directly.
In reply to: Change Design of PaginationPlease don’t modify any core files. What you are asking can be done in your template files. What template are you using? Please post a link to your forum so we can show you the proper place to modify this. If you look at other bbPress sites, the pagination does not look like yours. The way that looks is a theme function, not a core function.
In reply to: rss latest discussions in wordpressI am going to take a SWAG:
SimplePie supports RFC 822, RFC 2822, RFC 3339, and ISO 8601 datestamps. My guess is Magpie does as well. I would start by trying a RFC 2822 timestamp.
Sat, 24 Jan 2009 08:09:12 -0500In reply to: Option Screen turns WhiteA white screen usually means a 500 Internal Error. Do you have access to PHP error logs? You are going to need to look in there for the source of the error. If you don’t have access to PHP error logs, then you will probably need to set up custom error logging to see what’s going on.
In reply to: All member info and login gone!Using plain text passwords means anyone listening on the conversion (running a network sniffer or packet capture tool) can read the password if they can intercept it. With FTP, your password is transmitted in the clear, so, all someone needs to do is grab that password, then they have full access to your files.
SSH = secure shell. SFTP is secure FTP, and it uses SSH. SCP is a replacement for FTP, using SSH as well. Anything using SSH encrypts the password so that someone who intercepts the password can’t really do anything with it. Regarding clear text passwords for the database. Since the database connection details are stored in a text file (bb-config.php) anyone who can grab your FTP password and access your files will have access to the database. Once they can modify your files, they have the keys to the kingdom, so to speak.
SSH: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell
SFTP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol
SCP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy
FTP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTP
A lot of these require cooperation from your host. You can only use whatever they offer for connecting to the machine where your site is hosted. The lowest common denominator is FTP which is old and insecure. Much better is a host that offers SSH access and SCP/SFTP access to the files.
I really doubt someone grabbed your password out of a packet and changed your database connection details or the table name. I think it’s probably a far less interesting mistake than that.
In reply to: Import/Export WorkAlso, in general, bbPress, WordPress, most modern forums and modern blogging platforms use a database to store the data for the site. There are files on the filesystem as well, but in addition to those, there is almost always data stored in a database. In anything other than a simple static site (and with systems that use flat files rather than a database for data storage) you’ll find that there is almost always a database involved.
You’ll see on this page that there are some flat file systems, no database required, but most forums and content management systems and blogging platforms use a database back-end for storage:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_content_management_systems
In reply to: Import/Export WorkIf you’re doing this for a client, I think you should get some assistance to make sure it goes well.
The database lives on a host that the client is (probably) paying for right now, maybe his web host. They probably have a control panel and in there some sort of tool for managing a database. Depending on the tool, there should be a way to export or dump the database. Once you have that file saved locally on your computer, you can go about using a similar tool on your host, in reverse though, for import instead of export. That takes care of the database.
Then you need to grab all the bbPress files off their web host, and transfer those to your web host.
If you’re not changing domain names, just hosting, then you need only worry about DNS, not modifying any of the settings for the site (other than database connection details: those will certainly be different on your server.)
Also, in general, don’t forget about any email addresses they might have created at the old web host. You’ll need to recreate those on your server. That’s got nothing to do with bbPress, but I almost always forget to do that, and then remember it later.
Good luck.
