Checked. Not seeing the same results. What plugins are you running?
No, especially because not all plugins that work with 1 are labeled as such 
By the way, I am trying to understand why so few people ask these kinds of plugin specific questions on the page for the plugin itself. Can you give me any insight?
WordPress does it in the forums. It’s a second place to look for support, not as many people visit it with the regularity they do this part of the site, and as it has the oldest post on top, it’s not quite as intuitive as it might be.
For example, where is WordPress “auth” cookie salt in WPMU? I also can’t find WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt & WordPress “logged in” cookie salt in my WordPress admin page.
You just listed them.
The WordPress “auth” cookie salt in WPMU is in your wp-config.php file: define('AUTH_SALT', 'bliddyblah');
If you’ve done that correctly, you should see something like this: http://img268.yfrog.com/img268/8247/bbpresssettings.gif
I wiped out my cookies and URL, but you should get the idea.
Yes, you can upgrade later. You may have to do a staggered upgrade (0.9 to 1.0 to 1.x) if you wait too long (like a year or two), but it should be fine.
Only if you want pretty permalinks and all. If it’s not there, you can make one.
I meant show code in the forums.
This is code, it's preformatted
so that I can space things out funny.
AdSense For bbPress seems to be broken with bb 1.0.1, but seeing as the plugin tells you to edit your theme, you’re probably going to be best off just putting in your codes into your theme template files.
BuddyPress is WPMU so it’s not an ‘all three’ but a ‘both’ (there’s no extra code to log in to buddyPress vs logging into WPMU).
It sounds like the cookies being set for bbPress are ‘wrong’. Double check the Auths and salts, even going so far as to RE paste them into the bb-config. If the SALT doesn’t match, the cookies will be wrong. And do make sure that you log out, flush all your cookies (go in and delete them) and dump your cache. FireFox hangs onto logins in weird ways sometimes, and IE is worse.
You may also want to check the BuddyPress post on the issue.
Copy these from wp-config:
define('AUTH_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('NONCE_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('AUTH_SALT', 'bliddyblah');
define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'bliddyblah');
Put them in bb-config.php with BB_ in front:
define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('BB_NONCE_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('BB_AUTH_SALT', 'bliddyblah');
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'bliddyblah');
Don’t rename bb-config-sample.
Finally, I have also created the database in phpMyAdmin. Of course there’s 0 tables.
That’s fine 
You have to create the DB before bbPress can connect to it. bbPress doesn’t make the DB for you (any more than WordPress does so this should be familiar).
You should be able to run the install now, though make sure bbPress can write to the bbpress folder, so it can create the bb-config.php file as it goes (you can remove the access later).
I put this in my .htaccess for my forums:
Redirect /forums/register.php http://mysite.com/wpmu/wp-signup.php
Redirect /forums/bb-reset-password.php http://mysite.com/wpmu/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
Not so much a disable but ‘Ignore the man behind the curtain’.
Check out https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/
Basically you’ll make a new theme, but bbPress acts like a child theme, in that if you don’t specify something, it uses the default from the Kakumei templates. Once you get in there, it starts to make sense and feel elegant.
All that means is you should go into your wp-config and copy the whole lines for AUTH and SALT. Then paste those into bb-config, but name ’em BB_AUTH and BB_SALT
Example:
In wp-config.php I have
define('AUTH_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('NONCE_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('AUTH_SALT', 'bliddyblah');
define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'bliddyblah');
In bb-config.php I have
define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('BB_NONCE_KEY', 'blahblah');
define('BB_AUTH_SALT', 'bliddyblah');
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'bliddyblah');
If WordPress is any indication, people just spin-off the abandoned plugins and make newly named ones with credit given. A branch, if you will.
Go ahead and submit them as ‘new’, but be a mench and credit where it’s due
Birdy, can you link to the plugin page instead? If you want to show code, you have to put it between backticks (and when I figure out how to post them without zooming into code formatting…)
kipperman, if the database has the tables in it, it’ll show up as needing to upgrade. You have to delete the tables, not just wipe them.
In regards to the KEYs and SALTs, you should be able to pull them right from the wp-config.php file for WPMU. It’s not quite right in the setup, I noticed last week.
Can I give the forum the same database as my WP and enter the same settings in the set up?
Yes you can
Stoke me a flipper, I’ll be back by lunch.
What part isn’t working? Just not at all, you can’t log in with the same ID on both, or is it the logging in on one logs you out on the other? There are a few similarish errors, but they’re debugged differently.
As always, re-copy/paste the KEYs and SALTs from WPMU to BB, flush your cache and cookies, and try again. Even if you’re sure they’re right, it doesn’t hurt
Also:define( 'WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1 ); should be in your bb-config, not wp-config.
deanes02, check out https://buddypress.org/forums – Lots of people have successfully integrated WPMU, BuddyPress and bbPress since 1.0.1. Just watch out for WPMU 2.8.1 and it’s weirdness.
You’ll need to add this to your bb-config.php file, to share logins:
define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);
Should be fine, I was running that pair up until yesterday
For the front page or the whole site?
Making themes (a little imcomplete, but if you’ve done themeing for other CMS, WP included, you’ll pick it up in a snap).
You can just edit your theme to have ads where you want them. There are some plugins, but there aren’t widgets etc in bbPress (yet?) so you don’t have as granular control.
Don’t take the lack of reply as an answer, everyone here (except Sam) are volunteers. And everyone (including Sam) have real lives and weekends and such.
So _ck_ will get back to you whenever she does. Just take it cool, man
Following up – I can’t use the recount etc. tools on 1.0.1, but as it turns out, it’s a plugin conflict. With Polldaddy. So if you have that problem, check your plugins first!
You mean to force people to login before they can do anything?
You can make a menu nav bar by editing your theme.
