How would I have known that….read the title of this post? 
*slaps himself for not reading it* ! How does that plugin add the polls now? Through code or buttons in create post and replies? That might help others think of possible solutions.
Trent
I am also trying to remember if my problem was with the WP integration or not……darn it! This is frustrating!
Trent
I got that error on my last install…still trying to remember what I did to fix it, but it had something to do with my config.php I’m sure…..
Trent
I apologize Jeff for not getting back to you. To be honest, I have a theme there with all kinds of issues that I am “still” working out. I’m thinking there is a better way to do this!
Trent
Nothing easy comes to mind because it requires just the first post to have a poll and nothing else. It would be a call on the topic creation only which might be easy enough, but I don’t recall anyone doing anything with that. Isn’t there a poll plugin for bbPress now? Maybe changing it a bit?
Trent
Very clean looking site! Looks good bozzy, with the only thing I would like to see is the complete site border a little more visible, but I might be a minority on that statement……
Trent
That is what I thought! Thanks for the update Sam!
Trent
I am sure that people will report back on a TRAC version if nothing else that it will work with, but I would imagine that the WP release will come out followed closely with a bbPress release as that is what happened when the compatibility issues showed up with WP 2.3, but I guess time will tell!
Trent
Pretty sure line 52 of rss.php in your root folder is what you need to change, but could you give a visual of what you are trying to do?
Trent
You posted an hour ago! We are around to help, but not always right away! I am thinking it is the lack of an .htaccess file in your /bbpress/ folder on your server. Create that file and have the following in it and upload it and it might get you going:
Options +MultiViews

Part of the way would be using the plugin bbpress-post which creates the topic in the forum for comments. Just search for ‘bbpress-post’ and you will find the plugin. That would be a nice start anyways to your problems!
Trent
I guess the easiest to do thus far would just send the registrations over to the WP side for now until you can get it resolved. What is the forum so I can maybe poke around a bit?
Trent
I can’t see how bbPress would be any different than wordpress in terms of the mail usage, so:
Emailed passwords not received
Description: When users try to register with your blog or change their passwords by entering their username and email, WordPress says that their password has been emailed to them, but it’s never received.
Reason and Solution: WordPress uses the standard php mail function, which uses sendmail. No account information is needed. This is not generally a problem if you’re using a hosting service, but if you’re using your own box and don’t have an SMTP server, the mail won’t ever send. If you’re using a *NIX box, you should have either postfix or sendmail on your machine; you’ll just need to set them up (google for how-to’s). If you don’t want to go through setting up a complete mail server on you *NIX box you may find ssmtp (http://packages.debian.org/stable/mail/ssmtp) useful – it provides “A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mail hub”. On a Windows machine, try a sendmail emulator like Glob SendMail (http://glob.com.au/sendmail/).
More help can be found on the forums at: https://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=24981
Translation, there are posts in the normal wordpress.org forums as well that even dreamhost for whatever reason doesn’t send the passwords out through sendmail. I would look in the dreamhost support as well, maybe an answer is right there for you to grab

Should work with:
<?php search_form( $q ); ?>
Trent
If the plugin is disabled does this work because for the first part of the registration, the plugin really doesn’t do anything (at least I don’t think). The user gets their password by email, they head to the login page, put in username and password, get another screen (bb-activate.php) which then asks for the “activation” code emailed to them in a second email. So I am wondering if users are getting the password emails with the plugin disabled first I guess!
Trent
Not sure if this still applies, but I found something in the wp.org forums and posted it at:
Adding bbPress as WP Page
Trent
The regular uses still have the option to post in the hidden forum and get the error or on all forums? Not quite sure the exact problem. Could you explain a little more for us people that need to be explained things like we are 5 years old? 
For example, what plugin are you using. What exactly do you see versus the regular users, etc.
Trent
Just delete the file .htaccess out of the /beta/ folder again and I will see what I can dig up for getting wordpress to see it. Are you using any subdomains to see it or just the URL you setup above in config.php ?
Trent
These might give you an idea how to do it (or might just work for you).
https://bbpress.org/plugins/tags/authentication
Trent
From the FAQ:
Create a file called .htaccess in bbPress’ root directory. Put only the following line in that new file.
Options +MultiViews
Just upload a file like htaccess.txt with the line mentioned above and then use the FTP program to name it to .htaccess versus htaccess.txt (notice the dot before name).
WordPress is just thinking right now that you have a URL that doesn’t have an assigned page or post to it and it is getting screwed up! Try that one out!
Trent
Perfect shooting chrishajer!
Trent
Use a php call in the header that checks for a value (for construction) and if it does, serve up a static .html page would be the easiest. If you could create a plugin that just has a “checkbox” in the admin area and then a call to find out that option in the header.php that should work in theory right?
Trent
It might be that the .htaccess file of wordpress is over-writing the one that should be in the bbPress folder /beta/. I have heard this can happen. Do you have the .htaccess in the bbPress folder? What host are you running? I think (without searching) that this was something on GoDaddy, but I am not 100% sure…..
Trent
I know nothing that would do it straight to bbPress, but one could be written based on the WP plugins like WP-AutoBlog, FeedWordPress or another Maggie based plugin.
I think the best bet would be to great a WP blog (hidden) that populates using one of the mentioned plugins and then a bbPress plugin like bbSync or bbPress-Post to pull the entries from WP into bbPress as entries.
It would be better to create a plugin that does it automatically, but if you don’t want to re-invent the wheel, that is the only solution I can think of right now.
