Just wondering, is it possible to have the plugin count only active threads? I have a count for all threads (even deleted ones) right now. Not that they shouldn’t be counted because they were created, but since they are gone forever, maybe an option to count only current posts would be useful?
Thoughts?
Since the contact information is in the post, I am closing this post.

This is currently the only way that bbPress gives new users passwords. It serves a double purpose. The first is a record of a password for a user if they don’t end up changing it and second of all, it makes sure that people register with an actual email address (which stops most spam bots right there) because they have to retrieve their password from email.
If you need something, I would assume it would require a core hack unless someone can develop a plugin. Right now, I don’t think anything is in the works.

We have tried this on a bunch of different installs and it seems to be working. I jumped the gun earlier when I said my doesn’t work because I was having other issues with my forum when I tried it. It is working fine for me now.
Trent
I cleared my browser cache and downloaded the file from above and installed and still get the error on my register.php file of my forum. Am I getting the right download URL for the newer version of the plugin?
Trent
You might be able to use the integration plugins for WP and bbPress prior to the export/import to sync the users first. Then the import would work off the WP users table.
Trent
Little duplication, but since this is a sticky post, I thought I would add it here:
It is important to make sure for integration to work that you have the following plugin for sure installed in WordPress and the table prefix (in options of plugin in admin area of WP) correctly installed.
bbpress-integration plugin
This plugin will pull all registrations from bbPress into WordPress as well as make the login integration work properly.
If you have users in WordPress that you want to be able to login to bbPress prior to the integration, it might be worth you while to place the following plugin in your /my-plugins/ directory of bbPress.
wordpress-integration
The first plugin will work for most users, but the second is available if needed.
Thanks,
Trent
Spencer and I got this going. It is important to make sure for integration to work that you have the following plugin for sure installed in WordPress and the table prefix (in options of plugin in admin area of WP) correctly installed.
bbpress-integration plugin
This plugin will pull all registrations from bbPress into WordPress as well as make the login integration work properly.
If you have users in WordPress that you want to be able to login to bbPress prior to the integration, it might be worth you while to place the following plugin in your /my-plugins/ directory of bbPress.

I tried again just now and it still gives me the same error. I am not using permalinks, just the standard setup. I am not sure then? hmm….
Trent
Great work! That is so wicked so1o!
Trent
The URL actually is here:
wp-search-from-bbpress
Must have cut off the link as it was too long maybe?
Trent
I just tried the download in this post again and it still has the same error. Is there a new link that I should be using?
Trent
I just noticed this happens for me as well, if no one has a good explanation, I can add a ticket for TRAC.
Trent
One thing I did extra Spencer was add the cookie information for my domain in config.php in bbPress.
$bb->cookiedomain = '.trentadams.ca';
$bb->cookiepath = '/';
Maybe try that. As well, I am sure you have it already, but wp_home and wp_siteurl can’t have slashes at the end of each of them.
The bbpress-integration plugin in WordPress. All I did was edit the option to have bb_ as the prefix and even though it was listed already, I always save the option again. Superstition I guess.
The WordPress-integration plugin was just thrown in my-plugins/ forlder in bbPress. It just works.
Can you give me anything else that might help you with this one?
Trent
The profile link comes up when you are logged in. Therefore, the code is in bb-templates/login.php and bb-templates/login-form.php. They could be in my-templates/ if you edited them.
If you are talking about the code for when you view a user, the “Profile Edit Favorites” link then this is the code for profile.php in the same template directory:
<?php elseif ( $user_id == $bb_current_user->ID ) : ?>
<p><?php printf(__('This is how your profile appears to a fellow logged in member, you may <a href="%1$s">edit this information</a>. You can also <a href="%2$s">manage your favorites</a> and subscribe to your favorites’ <a href="%3$s"><abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr> feed</a>'), get_profile_tab_link( $user_id, 'edit' ), get_favorites_link(), get_favorites_rss_link()) ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
The tags are arranged vertically and I don’t know how difficult it is to change that. You could move the tags code to the bottom of the post and under the reply box, but if that isn’t what you want and want to limit to 10 tags, it might require a core hack or plugin. Neither that I can help with, sorry.
Limiting users with tagging is not something bbPress is setup to do because unless the user is marked by the system as BOZO, all members are treated equal for simplicity reasons.
Trent
Check your Users in WP and make sure they were moved across. It might be that they are not even taking the default role and are not subscribers in WP, but listed in WP. That is the way I have mine setup anyways.
Let me know.
Trent
*EDIT*
Sorry Spencer, you already said they are not moving across. With proper integration, I don’t even have a users table in the database for bbPress. It only uses users of wp_users.
I guess after 3 weeks I answered my own question. No spam, must be working.
Trent
It would be a bug with the default template because it isn’t wide enough for the username, but not bbPress. I could suggest a fix for this, but it would only be widening the left portion and decreasing the right portion of the template. Simple change to the style.css file.
Strange, I wondered about this as well 
I have checked for importers for any forum package out there and I am not sure if Vanilla will import to any software package. Does anyone know if it has rss feed so at least you could try exporting it that way?
Trent
I found a topic by searching for:
bb_get_user needs a numeric ID
That brought up another post where there was a quick fix for the profile page. Maybe that one can help you?
Trent
This was caused by the notification plugin. I am removed the plugin until there is a fix. That fixed this problem.
Trent
My problem was created by the notification plugin with this error on the register page. Check that plugin page for a fix in the future if this happens to you.
This plugin is causing me some errors. It has to do with the portion of the plugin:
extra_profile_info
Not sure why, but it kills me registration on the forum. Instead of the ‘register’ button, it spits out the following error:
bb_get_user needs a numeric ID
If goes back to working if I delete the plugin. Could you maybe take a look into this one?
Thanks,
Trent
If you haven’t already figured it out, the culprit might be the Akismet configuration not being right in your config.php. Maybe check that out.
