What do you have in your wp-config for the host and database name in wordpress?
Trent
It hasn’t been talked about for a ‘long time’ here in the forums, but if you just embed your bbPress install around your WP theme, it will be calling the wordpress stuff for the sidebar and then have your forum on something like a WP ‘page’. We just implemented the plugin admin for the 1.0 release and 0.8 has the theme admin. It won’t be too long before someone figures out how to get ‘sidebar’ widgets working with bbPress…..just time!
Trent
That is the easiest way for sure fel64!

If you setup that old WordPress blog as an integration with your bbPress installation and then install the bbPress-Post plugin from http://dev.mbzeus.net/forum/ you can do it. It is a real pain in the butt, but if you have the integration plugin working, you can ‘edit’ each of the old posts and then save them again . This creates the entry in bbPress. Last time I checked though, it didn’t update the timestamp to the original post time though.
Trent
Are you using any plugin on this installation? I have heard of people having this issue when using the bbPress-Post plugin for posts out of wordpress.
Trent
What host are you using? What database version are they setup with? Have you asked them about it because it should find the available port without actually having it defined in your config as long you just define the hostname or try using localhost.
Trent
Really? Does anyone have a URL of this theme installed so I can take a look at it? It was working fine for me on 0.8 and now with TRAC. If I could see it installed somewhere else, maybe I can figure out what is wrong with it!
Trent
I will be working on things this weekend….been too busy lately! I do have some ideas that might work though!
Trent
Easiest thing to do is take all the plugins out and add them one by one until you find out which one is the problem because one of them is for sure….
Trent
For sure the link for my blog entry is here. How do mean “doesn’t work”? You mean the download version or the actual theme? The theme works. I have my forum on it right now…..will change this in a day or so back to my main theme though….just showing everyone it works!

Ok….could you put down your actual URL’s here for me and then the corresponding parts that determine the paths of your config.php and we can see if we can figure it out. As well, does it work with mod_rewrite being false?
Trent
It might be a cookie issue. Is this integrated with WP or just a standard install?
Trent
You have some kind of ‘red bar’ above the forums. Were you playing around with the theme? If it is just a basic install, I would make sure you upload the files again to make sure they are all there and just use the basic theme without any changes until you get it working.
Trent
It can be daunting at first, but if you have the correct paths and database information in your config.php it really is a quick and easy install. There is a plugin for ‘quicktags’ that will put in a graphical buttons portion for those tags if you want to make that easier for visitors. It is currently working on the wordpress.org forums if you want to head over there and take a look.
Trent
You don’t need an SVN client to get the latest TRAC version. If you don’t mind downloading the entire package, you can just download the entire thing as a zip and then upload it to your server. That is the way I do it right now. I just know which files are changed and upload them.
Trent
Good to hear! Thought you had a strange situation going on there…!
Trent
That is coming in 1.0 for sure. That was just a ‘quick and dirty’ fix to get it working.
Trent
bbPress is brought to you by Automattic, the corporation. Not sure if there is a place to donate to this project or not…..I don’t think anyone has ever asked!
Trent
It is done through CSS and blockquote. We don’t have it in the stylesheet here in these forums, but can be done easily. The image for the quote is here. Just download a copy of it to put in on your server. The CSS for that particular one would then be:
.post blockquote {background: url('/path-to-your-image/quote.gif') no-repeat;margin-left: 175px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #a3a3a3;}
Trent
Added to the list! If you see another big player using bbPress, let us know!
Examples

Try this thread:

It might be a localhost issue with the backslashes. There is a plugin I reference in there that might help.
Trent
It really wouldn’t matter I don’t think! I know there are posts in the wordpress.org and wordpress.com forums closing in on that many posts on a topic and not a glitch. Heck, you go for 10,000 and let us know! Should be fine.
Trent
No issues at all! Just thought if you all add to that ticket it might get fixed 
And no duplicate TRAC tickets as well! As well, not sure what fixed it, but the 37 Years Ago part is gone with the recent TRAC version….
Trent
I have a TRAC ticket already about this!

Trent
Why are you including WP in your example? Is is just styling or something else?
