I like this plugin the way it is! It is great! Thank you! Don’t forget to add it to the repository as well:

I managed to destroy this one and with a server crash and just haven’t rewrote it yet, but if you head over to https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/55?replies=8 that plugin will do the same thing

Tell us about the install….what is your wp URL and bbPress URL? What do you have for the integration portion of your config.php?
Trent
Start off by editing config.php to see your wp installation and see if that works. It sometimes just does! Let us know if the cookies still don’t work after doing that!
Trent
The first and easiest is integrating the user base so that if you are logged into one, you are created and logged into the other! What are you hoping to find out and accomplish with integration?
Trent
That is so true! Thanks for pointing that out! I even wrote a blog post to remind others! Thanks _ck_!
Trent
As mdawaffe mentioned, it was untested. As well, there have been core changes since, so somebody would have to ‘debug’ that little plugin. Anyone notice anything off the cuff on why it doesn’t work?
Trent
The plugin you uploaded to /my-plugins/ is really only the one for WordPress! Akismet is built into bbPress is activated by you putting your Akismet API key into your config.php. If you edit that file, you will see the space to put it in! You can remove the plugin as you need not upload or install anything else….just edit config.php

Nothing jumps out at me, but there are ‘gravatar’ and ‘mybloglog’ plugins that use more ‘global’ avatars versus and internal system. As for profiles, there isn’t anything to use a combined profile, that I know of….
Trent
Great looking applications! Way to go!
Hey Michel!
Best bet would be to drop your request over in TRAC or on the dev list!

Sorry about that folks! It is back online obviously! 
If you were integrated with your WordPress install, wouldn’t you just login originally with the same username and password as wordpress?
Regardless, what is the URL of your forum so we can try and relate what you are seeing for errors and problems.
Trent
Not sure which file actually ‘writes’ the cookie, but as you know you can play around quite a bit by changing things in config.php. For example:
For default installs this effectively makes the cookie names:
'bb_user_' . md5('bb_')
'bb_pass_' . md5('bb_')
You can override the name of the cookie by setting values for the following somewhere in config.php:
$bb->usercookie = 'my_great_user_cookie_name'
$bb->passcookie = 'my_great_pass_cookie_name'
Other than that, another user might have to tell you what function creates the cookie and then check the code. function.php maybe?
Trent
Just searching around a bit, does this help?
Trent
As you know about bbPress (hense posting in this forum), the only way to change a username is to do it directly through the database. Since there are very few people who can do this here and I doubt they will, the best would be to just login (or register) as jezmck for future posts.
Trent
Thanks for the contact information Sam!

If you look at it, the bozo.php file hasn’t had any real “renovations” for quite some time. It is something that has to be addressed and I completely agree. Between the integration issues, akismet and bozo concerns, people might be a little put off.
What I don’t understand is how some people are getting real problems and others are not. I haven’t had any real problems, but I don’t run a large site. Has any of the big ones had any real problems?
Trent
Make sure you have all the files uploaded to that folder because it seems it is having trouble finding something in that file reference.
Trent
Since it is a local install, it might be difficult to troubleshoot. Just make sure mySQL is running, you have a user account that can create a database (or have one created already), have the right username and password for the database and enter it into config.php. You might even want to ‘troubleshoot’ to make sure the database server is running on your computer.
Trent
Assuming the database before your “upgrade” still exists, putting in the correct information for that database connection in your config.php will get the old bbPress installation back. If you “deleted” the database, you will have to put the new database information back into your config.php and run the installation script again.
Hope that helps.
Trent
If EasyPHP also recreates MySQL and you didn’t have a backup, then you have to recreate the database and put that information into your config.php. That errors means it cannot connect to the database using the information you have in config.php
Trent
I reported it Chris. Just one of those things. I think bbPress is on the same server as WordPress MU, but I can’t confirm that. It just seems they are both slow at the same time…..
Trent
Hmm……not with this method because it is searching for topics that are new and sticky based off the timestamp of the item and the current server time. I guess if you found a way to edit the timestamp to being ‘new’ again it would work with that way.
Other than that, it would require having all sticky posts checked against a new table entry for this plugin, which is much more work and much more page requests.
Trent
bbPress is not a plugin for wordpress. You are better having it as a subdirectory, such as wordpress/forums/, but don’t have it in /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/.
Try it’s own directory with nothing to do with wordpress.
