You could use Gravatar, and then they’re the same all over.
In theory, since you made the changes in htaccess, you should be able to change that to be formatted as you want.
Alpha-6 came out a couple days ago, so really no one knows until we all start testing our plugins.
famous you use the ones from your wp-config file and put those in the bbPress admin page for WP integration.
ganzua that is … weird, but okay.
That’s what I have too. 
That’s really wild.
Do you have access to your SQL database? If so, check the bb_topics table in that db and check what it says for the ‘topic_poster_name’ column. The default for that on my table is ‘Anonymous’ so it’s like it’s not writing to that field. Which would mean even if you flipped the bit to the old theme, the database still has it wrong.
So, try making a test post while using the default theme?
Okay, I’ve got 1.0-a-6 and no problem with posts.
Your individual topics are fine. The only thoughts that jump to mind is that it’s your theme or your language pack. Maybe it’s pulling the wrong field?
You’re using an anon-posting plugin? It may no longer be compatible. Try turning that off.
Just tested. Made an ID on bbpress and it is magically set up as a Subscriber on WP!
Hot digity!
We’re Not Worthy!
Yeah, the zipfiles are wrong.
Perhaps the problem is the lack of a codex where you can find out how to add things-> do you want email notification? add this plugin.
You know, that would be nice. If we could all (or maybe some more of us testers) could have codex access. The WP codex actually is editable by anyone. If BB’s was as well, we could all start helping improve documentation.
FYI – Only three files changed in Trunk
- bb-includesfunctions.bb-users.php
- bb-includesfunctions.bb-meta.php
- bb-adminoptions-wordpress.php
I uploaded those and my version says alpha-6
Check your functions.bb-meta.php file for this:
case 'version' :
return '1.0-alpha-6'; // Don't filter
break;
Sometimes the simple things elude us 
When you activated it on the admin plugins page, did it throw any errors?
Are you using a shared DB with WordPress and, if so, did you happen to use Fantastico or some other installer app to install it?
I’ve seen that (latin1_swedish_ci) borking recently with a weird WP install, but not with BBPress.
http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/trunk/includes doesn’t have the backpress folder and it’s a little confusing but I think it’s like this …
- Download this: https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1910/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip – This is your TRUNK build.
- Download this: http://backpress.automattic.com/changeset/190/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip – This is for the backpress folder
- Take the includes folder from Step #2 and rename it backpress
- Move that folder into
/bb-includes from Step #1 so you have /bb-includes/backpress
Sheesh. It’s almost easier to get SVN.
Users created on WP – Role ‘Inactive’ on BB, can’t post.
Users created on BB – Role ‘None’ on WP. CAN comment!
There’s no ‘wp_capabilities’ being set UNTIL the user logs into the blog. And when it’s set, it’s set as this a:0:{} instead of a:1:{s:10:"subscriber";b:1;}
When you installed bbpress, what folder did you put all the files in? Your server’s acting like nothing was uploaded to ‘forum’
The URL on the settings page to BB press is supposed to point to your forum, NOT your blog. If you want a link to your blog, you should edit your theme templates.
As to how to fix. Do you have access to the SQL end of things? Like phpMyAdmin? Go into your BBpress Database and in the bb_meta table, find the meta key uri. Change that back to your blog URL (http://www.ins-ide.org/forum)
Warren – Thank you for bumping multiple posts.
What version of WP and BB are you using? There is a plugin for WP that should ‘fix’ this for you on WP 2.7 and BB 1.0-alpha-5
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
I’d say try the nightly build ( https://bbpress.org/nightly-builds/bbpress-latest.zip ) but I’m not really sure when that’s updated anymore…
The SVN is open to be downloaded by anyone.
*snicker* That was so much easier. Sometimes I get stupider the more I try to code!

Ressurecting the dead.
I want to call the BB login_form function into WP (to use that as my login, register, etc link). But. I also use a static homepage and I get this problem too.
bbPress is in /forums
WordPress is in /blog (with the ‘give WordPress it’s own directory’ tweak so it pretends to be in root)
I am using PermaLinks and have .htaccess
chrishajer, I have no idea if RSS change between things, but y’know, it’s habit. I don’t like to spend time debugging something that’s doesn’t mesh. There are a lot of possibilities to miss-match.
And pulk, either you have bbpress 0.9.x or you have bbpress 1.0-alpha-x. The plugin is not the same as using bbPress core 1.0-alpha. In your bb-config.php, what is your BBDB_CHARSET defined as?
Fixed my fatal call by re-uploading backpress. THAT was weird. And I show as ‘Site Admin’, jjj.
