Do you have a (possibly hidden) .htaccess file in bbPress’ parent directory (one directory up from /bbpress)?
do you mean that “after upgrading and changing the permalink structure of a forum; the old permalinks does not redirect to the new one” ?
No, I just meant that with the current code, if you’ve somehow managed to change the slug, you’ve broken the old links. But, as you point out, bbPress knows how to move “sideways” across different kinds of permalinks.
WordPress allows you to change the slug and automatically redirects your old links to the new slug; it’s more clever than bbPress is at the moment 
There are two kinds of stickies. Those that stick in the individual forum pages and those that stick in the front page.
Click “Stick Topic” to stick it in the forum page.
Click “Stick Topic To Front” to stick it to the front page (click the “to front” part).
Not super intuitive
Stickies are given css classes: sticky and super-sticky (if it’s stuck to the front page). You can use those classes to style them however you like.
peter-b, there are a number of things that depend on the table prefix being non-empty.
The best solution would be to use a table prefix and rename all your tables.
Is there a file in bbPress’ main directory called .htaccess? Depending on how you’re accessing your server and because that file starts with a period, you may have to ensure that you are viewing hidden files when looking for that file.
If you find that file, paste its contents to a pastebin.
If you don’t, create a file with that name and put into it the text generated when you visit http://www.bqtrademark.com/bbpress/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
karaboga, permalinks should be permanent. Perhaps we can work on redirecting old permalinks to the new ones. Better yet, that’d be a great plugin
Can you try using pretty permalinks with rewrite rules instead (step 3 here)?
You can paste files into a pastebin if you like.
http://pastebin.ca/
Then just paste the link here.
I’m sorry, I can’t do support over email. Is the issue that you have information you need to give which is too private for these forums?
You can change some of the views (untagged, no-replies, …) with a plugin filtering on bb_views.
For the rest, you’ll have to use rewrite rules. You’ll also have write a plugin that filters on get_topic_link, get_forum_link, and so on or bbPress will end up in an infinite redirect loop.
I really do need to know what your .htaccess file looks like in order to help you.
Also, there may be some issue with your bbPress running on http://www.bqtrademark.com and your WordPress running on bqtrademark.com
What does your bbPress’ .htaccess file look like?
Have you read the documentation on setting up pretty permalinks?
And the error message?
In your bbPress’ config.php, did you set $bb->domain and $bb->path or did you set $bb->uri (the easier method that bbPress 0.8.2 allows)?
Try setting
$bb->uri = 'http://www.bqtrademark.com/bbpress/';
in your config.php and remove from that file any lines referencing $bb->domain or $bb->path
I can’t tell where that error message is coming from. Is that the exact text?
You cannot keep the old file. Dates should be translated now, see https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/646
Please try this plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/37
And let us know if that resolves the “1” strangeness on the profile edit page.
function my_get_forum_link_filter( $link ) {
$link = 'yay'; // Whatever you want to do with the link
return $link; // Very important line!
}
add_filter( 'get_forum_link', 'my_get_forum_link_filter' );
That last line adds your custom filter function to the get_forum_link filters.
That version of the plugin should work fine, but the most recent version (Front Page Topics 0.
is a bit more configurable.

“The database used was one from a bbpress install of over one year ago.”
Are you trying to run the install script or the upgrade script? If you already have a database, you should be running the upgrade script:
bb-admin/upgrade.php
Is it a complete database, or did you only keep certain tables?
In your PHPMyAdmin, what bb_ tables do you see before and after running the install/upgrade script?
flaerpen,
Could you try on your localhost version two of the plugin you tried?
https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/575/path-to-url.2.php
(Download link at the bottom.)
First delete the first version of the plugin you have installed.
travelsuperlink (and others seeing this problem),
If you could help us debug the problem, that’d be very helpful.
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/585
You can log in with your bbpress.org username/password.
I don’t know why this error appeared, but it’s harmless.
Go forth and bbPress!
