Finally, no more secrets. They are too hard to keep!

1) I would ‘t worry about the plugins to help out if you need it (small percentage) as they are intended to get it fixed which will eventually make it into the core. Those plugins would only require minor changes if something was changed in bbPress, but I doubt it would happen often.
2) I had great luck with the phpbb converter myself and have stated in one of the threads which one I used. I would just look around a bit before choosing one.
3) Since the upgrade process is so easy, there is no need to wait! As well, the changes scheduled for the next series of releases are small changes and no worth waiting for!
4) So1o just released a new version of the private forums plugin that is exceptional and recently addressed the problems with the RSS feed being private. It is found in the ‘extend’ tab of this forum in the plugin browser!
5) fel64 is absolutely right. mdawaffe is the head dev and he is working on wordpress code at the same time. They will always be compatible as they are working toward more shared function (at least not conflicting). Issues will be worked out as we go, but shouldn’t be a problem.
Thanks,
Trent
Please let me know what you would charge to make these changes.
Please don’t do that people! Contact stuboo through their website or if you are reading this stuboo, leave a contact address as we don’t want to use the forums as a place to bid or bidding wars.

I think we should write up a massive thread on all the things to do for proper integration since there are bits and pieces that work for most people all over this forum.
Trent
Most just work with defining the wordpress part of the config.php and some need to play around. As well, there is always defining the cookie domain from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-domain-settings?replies=4
Trent
Glad to hear it ronald. Marking this one as resolved. Make a new topic if you find another issue for us!
Trent
Try adding the following to your bbPress config.php:
$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_full.hash.number";
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_full.hash.number";
Trent
I would put the absolute path and include it in the header.php of your theme if you want it on every page or just include it on specific files if you want it on certain pages.
Trent
Try something like this:
#profile-menu {
list-style: none;
position: absolute;
left: 200 px;
}
Trent
It is purely in the Database information. Double check that you have the right username, password and database name. That error just means that it is the wrong info. Double check you have the right password and stuff from your WP wp-config.php
Trent
Right off the cuff, I would do the following until you have it installed correctly:
1) Remove:
$bb->WP_BB = true;
require_once( 'public_html/wp-blog-header.php' );
2) Change to false:
$bb->mod_rewrite = false;
Once you have bbPress installed and integrated with wordpress (logins), then play around with the permalinks and the including bbPRess functions with WP.
Trent
If you have the same domain so it should be simple. Keep in mind that bbPress will use the WP users after doing this and both programs have to be installed in the same database:
// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.
// If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = www.nyquistcapital.com'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'www.nyquistcapital.com'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'
Trent
We don’t have an ‘official’ template directory yet, so the only list that I am aware of for templates is at Pro Forums.
Trent
The favorite topics is part of the core and available with every bbPress installation. You can also find plugins and templates at Pro Forums.
Trent
wordpress.com is the hosted blog service of wordpress. Go to https://wordpress.org/support/ to search
Trent
I am not sure, but how big is the development community on Vanilla?
Trent
Ah….here! That would make sense for sure since even the wordpress.com forums are using a larger layout for posts! I will pass it along up the chain!
Trent
You mean having a template that is completely ‘auto’ driven so that it adjusts to each browser window width? I know that I constantly get users a little mad at me because I like ‘big resolution’ on my computers and my users are still at 800 X 600 screens so my sites have a tendency to have to be scrolled. 
Not sure about the overflow as I don’t use the default theme myself. Anyone else?
Trent
It is related with wordpress.org. Let me explain. Akismet keys are given from wordpress.com (free hosted blog service) and that key can be used with bbPress and the Akismet plugin for WordPress (downloaded from wordpress.org) or with other blog softwares have the Akismet plugin.
bbPress integration is dealt with here or in the wordpress.org/support/ forums and issues with your Akismet key are dealt with through the ‘feedback’ or ‘support’ tab in the wordpress.com forums.
Hope that clears it up a little.
Trent
I agree with Fel64 here. The cookie problem is just a couple of lines in config.php because they are not in a subdirectory of WP. Most other issues are with getting functions working at the same time and I ask what other forum package runs WP functions in it without any problems.
Trent
I have an idea Talbina. Post your work that you would like to have done in a new post with all your contact information and I will close the thread. That is often what happens over in the wp.org forums. We don’t want to have a job board here, so anyone interested can contact you to further discuss what you want.
Trent
It could be made to look like that for sure, but it would require some organizing of how the data is displayed. Since both WP and bbPress have basic plugin API architecture, they can easily be extended to do many different things with plugins (limited only by existence and time I guess).
Trent
You bet! Indexed no problem with the basic permalinks, the fancy permalinks and with the new ‘slug’ permalinks! It is just a matter of letting google know you exist, just like any like.
