Why not edit your front page to exclude them via your theme?
bbPress can already be synced with WPMU. What sort of MU features are you looking for?
*ponder* dbone, if they use the must login to post link, they stay on the same page as they already are, so it shouldn’t be an issue, right?
I mean, all you really have to do is redirect registration to your profile manager tool.
pikatore, please relax. This is a VOLUNTEER forum, and you have to be patient or you’ll piss everyone off and no one will help you. Okay?
It sounds like, since your TOOLS menu doesn’t have options, you’re on a Macintosh, which means you need to go to Firefox -> Preferences -> Privacy.
Finding out where cookies are stored in your browser is pretty standard stuff. You could also google it 
bbPress does use cookies. Go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy and click on ‘Remove individual cookies’
In there, search for your URL.
bbPress isn’t a plugin. It should have been installed in the http://www.mydomain.com/forum directory. You should move it there and then remove that bb->uri setting.
Any integration from WP to BB may need to be re-set at this point (just changing the locations etc).
I see pagination links on your front page, and the work just fine. I don’t see a problem here.
Do you have enough posts on your front page to induce paging?
No, you don’t have to permit people their own blogs on BP
MPESGT01 – That would sort of fall under the realm of BuddyPress, I would think. Still, yes, it’s possible to make a plugin. WPMU/bbPress/BuddyPress would probably do it better
I’d be lazy and take something like Tom (db)’s WPNews and flip it around
For RSS, you can google around for solutions. I’m not sure there are any bb specific ones.
As apbai didn’t say if it was WPMU, it’s likely that the user switching and pingbacks/trackbacks can be skipped just for now.
Wait, just your latest posts in BB in your bb-sidebar?
You could port ’em in via RSS or make a function to call your database and pull in the latest posts.
Yes, it’s an issue with bbPress. It’s an issue with WordPress too. It’s an issue that means you need more memory. The memory limit (see the WP Codex for more on WP_MEMORY_LIMIT) means you need to increase your blog’s PHP memory limit. Why they call it limit and not something that implies ‘adding’ I don’t know.
Which usually means your webhost hasn’t allocated enough to run WP/BB. Which means it’s actually an issue with your webhost that MAY be work-aroundable with manual tweaking.
While you’re welcome to try BB_MEMORY_LIMIT (which is the logical name for it), I don’t think it exists.
If you actually read the links I gave you, you’d know that PerishablePress (a fantastic resource) mentions you may be able to increase memory limits by editing wp-config.php like so:
<?php
@ini_set("memory_limit","16M");
Try that on bb-config.php and see how it works.
You’re probably going to need to dig into your php settings to see how much memory you’ve got right now, and how much you have to play with. You’ll need to savvy up on your error logs too, to see where it’s barfing.
No, it’s a known issue with WP and php memory, so I’m not surprised to see it crop up with bb as well.

But seeing as you don’t know how to do that now, I suspect you’ll need to talk to your webhost for help. If you have a good host, they’ll help you out
You may need to allocate more memory to PHP, but IIRC there’s no way to do that via bbPress.
You could get by with 1, but it’d be sluggish at peak times. Option 2 would suit you best in the long run.
@sambauers Could you post that “trivial” code that allows for a BB login box in WP that will redirect back to the page after login?
This is where I think Shallow Integration has the upper hand. I have the bb login on the bb side, and the WP in-line login on the WP side, and no matter where my peeps log in from, there they are. All I do is redirect registration to the WP side, which kicks them back to the main WP page. And that’s okay, since 92% (I love stats) of visitors start there anyway.
As for includes on bbpress … Actually smilies, which are built into WP, would be nice, but they’d have to be easy to customize and expand. Some people like a million, some people like 10. Avatar upload isn’t going to happen unless Automattic dumps Gravatar. Quote ‘options’ would be a nice plugin.
What’s the correct URL supposed to be?
If you installed bbPress under WP plugins, that’s never gonna work. It’s a stand alongside app.
(should bb have a URL check on setup? If in wp-content/plugins, then ABORT!)
I was hoping someone could do it for me.
Well there’s your problem right there
Making a theme is easy AND it won’t break the source code or become beyond repair. A theme is all HTML and CSS, with a little PHP tossed in, and not the coding kind of PHP where you have to make SQL calls. Unless you want to, of course.
Go to https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/ for the basics. You’ll need this under your belt if you ever hope to maintain a forum without going nuts.
Try define( 'BBDB_HOST', '0.0.0.0' );
That was a stab in the dark too, johnjiler! Yes, change the folders to 755.
Doy! Max-Width is correct, and it will NOT resize your images and make them larger
Moar Coffee, Less Meetings, Plz.
I only used Vanilla for a couple hours. I have a knee-jerk reaction to most code and if I don’t enjoy using it right away, or have issues setting it up/themeing it how I want, it gets dumped.
And I’m not comfortable telling you strengths and weaknesses because they’re subjective. Seriously, I say it a lot but it’s true.
Me? I don’t like PMs and reporting posts, membership ‘levels’ and all that hoopla. So for me, bbPress is great because it’s small, simple and I can write plugins for it since I’m familiar with WordPress. But see how subjective that is? You may want those things and see it as a weakness that bbPress doesn’t have them.
Knowing what each products strengths and weakness will help determine if it fits needs.
I think you’re doing it backwards. Start with a list of your needs and your wants. Then go ask each place ‘Can you do this and if so, how hard is it?’
In your theme’s style.css file.
