That’s awesome! Thank you. I was trying to be proactive and research it on my own before posting the question, but the downside to that I’ve found is many of the questions/asnwers are outdated.
If you are using bbPress 2.x (which you are) all the users are shared and everything is taken care of automatically – so no need to worry 
The article you were reading might have been for bbPress pre 2.x.
My site has a forum AND may have a blog in the future. So I just wanted to be sure that users did not have to create two different logins.
So this will occur automatically? An article I thought I read in one forum that the databases for the bbpress and wordpress users were inherently separate, unless you specifically told bbpress to use the same database as wp?
No need to bump an old thread.
Check out this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/
Please create a new topic if you have more questions.
What do you need to do exactly?
The users are integrated out of the box.
I have an intergrated version of buddypress on my wordpress site using the default theme at http://www.soundhampton.com . I’ve been editing it for weeks but for some reason in Safari and Chrome the CSS shifts the content and the user name to the right about 80px or there is no CSS being read whatsoever. Does anyone have any clue whats going on here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think it maybe an HTML5 issue but definitely a CSS issue
Here is a good exaple of whats going on:

open in firefox or ie, then open in safari or chrome the difference is clear.
Just installed bbpress 2.0.2 in WordPress 3.3.1. I am going to want the user databases to be shared. Have read forums for hours on this issue but most deal with much older versions. I am new at WordPress so this may be simple and I am just missing it.
An article I found on this forum indicates the following:
In the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin you will find a “User Role Map”. I do not see a WordPress Integration section in the Settings area of bbpress. It only has a few main settings and slug stuff.
Please advise?
@johnjamesjacoby – Here is the error, verbatim:
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'http://hethens.com/people/jordan/' rel='nofollow'>@jordan</a>, <a href='http://h' at line 1]
SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = 'reply' AND post_status != 'trash' AND post_author = 2382 AND post_content = '<a href='http://hethens.com/people/jordan/' rel='nofollow'>@jordan</a>, <a href='http://hethens.com/people/jaygran7/' rel='nofollow'>@jaygran7</a>, hello!' AND post_parent = '60294' LIMIT 1
Looks like an issue with using @replies?
Hi
We installed bbpress in our wordpress site
We created some forms using bbpress
Also we created some posts inside the created forms using bbpress
From this link http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes we found short codes.
We used
[bbp-topic-index] – this is listing forms
[bbp-topic-index] – this is listing topics.
Is there any way to list form wise topics that is we need to list first form name then all topics in that then second form name then all topics in that etc. Please advise.
In some sample bbpress sites we could able to see all form names listing and then if we click on any one form name all topics in that form will be listed like http://singletrackworld.com/forum/forum/classifieds-wanted Please advise how to achieve this.
Thanks
I changed bbpress.css in folder /bbp-theme-compat/ which I was able to get it they way I want it to look.
However, it is using my wordpress default page theme. I would like it to use a full width page theme that I have.
Example it is using:
<div id=”main-wrapper”>
<div id=”main”>
<div id=”post”>
<h3 class=”section-title”>testing 2</h3>
<div class=”post-entry”>
// Then it goes to the forums tag
<div id=”bbpress-forums”>
Also, under the default page theme it grabs the sidebar, which I do not want it to do.
If someone can please point me in the right direction on changing the wordpress page theme that is being used for the forums. Thank you!
I’m not sure if that would cause the problem, but that’s still something you should be fixed.
You need to set the permissions on your .htaccess file so WordPress can modify it.
Should be able to do that through your FTP client.
I found that I had to add these to the kses.php file in wordpress include, which you should NEVER do in order for them to show up. can some one tell me why this code isnt working and adding these tags to the available tags usable for non admin based users?
I have tried with the add_filter above and or bellow, like you see it now, the function.
I have this in my themes function.php file. Not in the bbpress theme function file because I am using my current wordpress theme as the theme for the bbpress theme (if that makes sense)
Thoughts?
function extraTags($tags)
{
$tags['a'] = array(
'href' => array(),
'title' => array(),
'class' => array()
);
$tags['div'] = array(
'class' => array()
);
$tags['img'] = array(
'src' => array(),
'width' => array(),
'height' => array(),
'alt' => array(),
'title' => array()
);
$tags['ol'] = array();
$tags['ul'] = array();
$tags['li'] = array();
$tags['pre'] = array(
'class' => array()
);
$tags['h1'] = array();
$tags['h2'] = array();
return $tags;
}
//Add a new filter.
add_filter('bbp_allowed_tags', 'extraTags');
But that does not solve my problem!
I had to disable my site can not provide an operational service!
I work on this installation of wordpress to find a solution : http://rootserv.fr/?topic=test
I contacted support WPbakery
And they lead me to you! Cool their support!
Wow… thanks a lot for the help… one can’t guess it indeed…
one more tip : when on translate.wordpress.org, beware that the translations for your language may be not validated yet. The default export link exports only “current” translations, i.e. validated ones. Use “Only the matching filter” option and you will be able to export all the messages.
use the “file” unix command to check the content of the .mo file. e.g.
$ file wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-fr_FR.mo
GNU message catalog (little endian), revision 0, 732 messages
by using the default export, I was only retrieving one message, and thus nothing was translated…
What should I understand this very constructive response ?
Hi all !
The problem is that the forum of my site (bbpress plugin), responses to issues are offset in the page width (hula, not very clear!), See this page ….
http://circuit-rouen-les-essarts.fr/?topic=accident-de-jo-schller-1968
Sorry for my bad english !
I’m fairly certain this is disabled because it’s a big security issue. You wouldn’t want users to have access to all your shortcodes.
Similar thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/shortcodes-from-other-plugins
This is mentioned in that thread and is probably what you will want https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/
Reading through the code is actually a great way to learn.
Having a giant list of functions doesn’t help explain what they do or where they are called.
If you happen to be using bbP 2.1 beta then you can use this plugin and it will neatly show you all the hooks available.

If you don’t have a forum yet, now isn’t the time to worry about if it will scale.
Scaling is about spreading the pain around. As you outgrow one technology (or set of technologies) you upgrade to another as needed, not as predicted or as planned.
This isn’t to say you shouldn’t have a plan, but it’s awful early to know if it’s worth the time spent worrying about.
If you’re 100% certain that you’ll have +1million posts a year with billions of hits a month, then you wouldn’t be asking this question because you’d already know the answer: no, it won’t scale out of the box; you’ll need caching, memcached, and countless servers and data centers to manage it all.
The short answer, don’t be afraid to start out small. When it’s time to grow, you can pretty easily export specific post types with WordPress’s export tool and shard it across multiple multi-site blogs if you wanted; shard the database(s) across multiple servers; whatever you need to do to get by.
If your forums grow quickly and you find performance gains, it’d be great to have them contributed back to the project. It’s true that moving from bbPress standalone to plugin traded some performance for convenience, but it’s been the # 1 most requested feature since it’s introduction.
Also, there’s nothing *wrong* with bbPress 1.1. If you’re more comfortable using something purpose built from the ground up as a simple forum, you can still use it. Just know that nothing but fairly significant code changes or bug fixes are actively going in.
Thanks Jaredatch,
So the WordPress support forums have been around for as long as I’ve worked with WP. Well after that though, bbPress was still in standalone form, thus a different database. Is it better to have a site with lots of posts and comments (essentially posts) on the same database as the bbPress forums? (essentially posts)
