Are you using 0.9 or 1.0? The files should only go into bb-includes/languages for version 0.9… v 1.0 uses the my-languages folder.
If you’re using 0.9, I’m stumped…
There was a recent post with someone in exactly your situation. 
Integration of established WP and BBPress installations
The key issue is integrating the user database first… then you can do a cookie integration fairly easily, using either ck or superann’s plugins.
Good luck!
There’s no way to do this for now, other than deleting directly from the db using phpMyAdmin.
There was a script posted here, but it appears to be only for v 1.0+, and it doesn’t look like it’s wrapped up in a plugin:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permanently-deleting-topocs-and-posts
Try this plugin?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/moderator-new-post-notification/
There are some tweaks to the code mentioned in the comments of that link… definitely check those out if you hit any issues.
Super Cache would help for slow-updating forums… but if you get a lot of traffic, I don’t think it’d really end up caching very much? Blogs don’t get nearly as many updates, so I could see it being a lot more helpful there…
Anyway to answer your question, I haven’t seen a guide on converting WordPress plugins to bbPress ones… that would be really useful!
You can do a grep to get a list of hooks/actions:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/list-of-hooksactions#post-22602
We’re going to be documenting all of this more on the upcoming wiki soon… for now, grep is the only way to get this info that I know of.
This report sounds similar, although it sounds like they may have been using an earlier RC:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-mu-271-and-bbpress-10-rc-integration-problem
There was a solution linked from there … hope that points you in the right direction! There was also an integration guide someone created here:
http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu%2C_BuddyPress%2C_and_bbPress
Hope one of those helps!
Sometimes you can lose admin access during integration:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17417
Installing the plugin linked from that post usually restores access – try it out and let us know how it goes!
Hopefully we can leverage the WordPress theme directory code:
https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
In the mean time, do you know of any extra themes beside the ones on bbshowcase?
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes
If we assemble a list of available themes, we’ll be all ready to go when the bbPress theme directory comes out eventually!
Was curious what the message said, so plugged it into Google Translate:
Title: Download bbPress 1RC2 Translation Castilian / Spanish
Now you can download the translation of bbPress to castallano Spanish version of the new 1RC2.
Found in the downloads section http://www.buddypress-es.com
Alongside this, you will find translations of BuddyPress 1.0.1 and WPMU 2.7.1
@massbase – That’s not a plugin… if you’re an admin (or moderator too, I think), you can see that “move topic to” pulldown.
Sweet, glad it’s working now!
Your database is still storing variables pointing to talkspirit.letsdoo.org… so your header area is still pointing to talkspirit URL’s.
Check out this call to your css file:
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://talkspirit.letsdoo.org/my-templates/bbVanilla/style.css” type=”text/css” />
Here’s the code that generates that (in my header.php at least):
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>” type=”text/css” />
You should be able to fix this using phpmyadmin. Try running this query to find the row you need to change:
SELECT * FROM bb_topicmeta WHERE meta_key=’uri’
Then edit the row so that the meta_value for that row is the url for your new site…
What is your bbPress Address set to now?
And do you mind posting a link to your forum, to help with troubleshooting?
My login.php form posts to the following url:
<form method=”post” action=”<?php bb_option(‘uri’); ?>bb-login.php”>
Did you change your bbPress Address here?

Ah yah Vizworld, I think you nailed it.
I took a look at ck’s original plugin and it mentions support for WordPress 2.8 (as of 3/13/09):
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/
But this post (from 4/3/2009) on ck’s blog points out that WordPress 2.8 changed their login model:
http://ckon.wordpress.com/2009/04/03/wordpress-28-might-break-login-compatibility-again/
Sounds like WordPress may have changed it after the Freshly Baked Cookies plugin was released, breaking the FBC plugin?
Yah, the codex will be a wiki with lots of information. We’ll list all the functions and try to make it easier for plugin/theme developers to learn the ropes!
When did the cookie integration break – when you upgraded bbPress to .9.0.5, or when you upgraded WordPress to 2.8?
Also – what was the last working set of versions that was fully integrated (bb 9.0.4 and wp 2.7?).
bbPress v. 0.9.x doesn’t naturally integrate with WordPress 2.8. Are you using ck’s or superann’s cookie plugins to enable integration?
Ah sure, we could add that! Anyone interested in maintaining the Plugin Compatability part of the Codex?
Ah this had been in the v 1.0 Milestone for the past month… but yesterday it was moved to 1.5:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/690
So I’m guessing we won’t see it for a long while… since it was first suggested for v .8 in mid 2007, and it was bumped to .9 and then 1.0.
That exact error message has only popped up once that I can see:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/can-only-post-in-firefox
In that case, it turned out to be a buggy template… not sure if this could be similar? In any case, thought I’d pass that link along to check out – good luck!
Cookies
We should probably have a general writeup of how Cookies work in both WordPress and bbPress, across versions… how the WordPress cookie was changed in versions 2.5 and 2.6, and how the bbPress cookie was changed from 0.9 to 1.0 (and any other changes that you can think of!)
Of particular note would be which versions integrate well with each other (e.g. how bbPress 0.9 doesn’t have native support to integrate with the latest WordPress versions… so for a number of months, the only way to upgrade WordPress was to upgrade to the alpha 1.0).
Also, ck’s bbPress cookie upgrade plugin… and Superann’s WordPress cookie downgrade plugin (to allow 0.9 to talk to the latest WordPress cookies).
Anyone enough of a Cookie guru to draft a general writeup of how cookies work, and the general cookie compatibility issues we’ve seen? I think we can do better than the WordPress Codex, which seems really vague:
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Cookies
Integration
Might be worth sharing links to people who have integrated bbPress with non *Press user logins:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-integration-2
Maybe also a writeup on “deep” *Press integration versus other more “shallow” forms of integration (shared login)… some useful links on that:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-pass-at-a-fix-for-deep-integration-in-trunk
Any other links on deep versus shallow integration?
I’m only use v .9, and don’t have that feature…
Is it possible that it’s just your browser, remembering what’s been inputted in that field in the past? If so, clearing your Saved Forms should fix the issue.
If it’s an ajax thingy, then I’m not much help here – sorry!
