W00t! I’ve figured out how to display the avatar next to comments in wordpress. Though the way I have done it i’m worried it’s going to cause problems.
Now if only there was a way to display a default image if the user hasn’t uploaded one. Not that it’s a big deal. Thanks 
@fel64: I’ve downloaded your mod and will take a look at how it works to see about branching my plugin. More thoughts later…
@smurfdude: That is an excellent idea. I’m not sure about how to integrate with WordPress, but I’m guessing it would require a WordPress plugin that pulls the data from the bbPress database.
Unfortunately it does
Are you sure? I can do it because bbPress is using the WP users and I have both setting and using the same cookie. You seriously can’t get this to work? Hmm……
You have both integration plugins installed as well?

My blog is getting cluttered with tons of useless posts and I’d really like to clean it out, but since I work with multiple authors I don’t want to upset them. I figure a fair compromise is to convert the wordpress posts to threads.
The plugin would be a sort of ‘one step’ process where you run a script or hit a button in the admin panel and whichever wordpress post you select becomes a thread with:
1. the same title
2. roughly the same text (given bbpress’ html capabilities)
3. comments converted to replies
If you use wordpress aswell, I don’t suppose you know of a way to include the avatar next to the users comments? That would complete a perfect avatar mod.
I haven’t got that, and nor do you Trent. Incidentally the bb forums feed you linked to is empty but entitled “Comments on: Forums”, tagline “Just another WordPress weblog”.
it doesn’t matter if you login at bbPress or WordPress when you are integrated.
Unfortunately it does, I reckon that the cause of a problem I’ve been having – when you register in WP, it only calls WP hooks, register in bb and only bb hooks are called. Short of duplicating plugins and changing the hooks/function names etc, I don’t think there’s anything you can do, and that’s obviously a real hassle.
Maybe a trac ticket is in order, to get some coordination between appropriate hooks?
I see you resolved this. Just for others, I found the login code for WordPress and put that in the sidebar as it doesn’t matter if you login at bbPress or WordPress when you are integrated.
Trent
If you use services like MyBlogLog or Gravatar, you can use that plugin for bbPress and WordPress has a couple of plugins that also bring in those avatars into your comments. Good question fel64! How did you do it?

Phew!! After a whole evenings work and a lot of jumping over hurdles trying to fix things, my wordpress and bbpress are working perfectly. Now what i want is to scrap the wordpress author.php page i created for users profiles, and use the bbpress profile. But that means adding i na few extra fields in edit profile, and displaying them in the profile. Can anyone help with this?
Also can anyone recommend the best avatar plugin that will also work on wordpress comments? Thanks!
Most bbPress might be WordPress users too, but I actually don’t think that so many will use it together with WordPress.
Anyway, both WordPress and bbPress do everything they can in order not to get bloated. This is the job of a WordPress (and bbPress?) plugin.
Hello,
Sorry if this has been resolved already, but I haven’t found the answer 
Is there a directory, viewer, site, post, whatever that lists bbPress themes available round there (similar to WordPress themes viewers-showcases)? I’ve only found like 4 bbPress themes that really work with my current installation (0.8.1) after searching virtually everywhere.
Of course, I can always try and make my own template, but if anyone else is developing and releasing themes, I would like to know and they deserve to be promoted.
Thanks in advance.
I think the easiest thing to do is to use Louisedade’s avatar plugin ( https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/1027?replies=3 ), and then using a simple MySQL query on the WordPress side to get that data to use next to comments.
How did you integrate profiles?
Does anyone know of a plugin with which i can use on both the aforementioned sites? I’ve integrated both bbpress & wordpress so they use the same profile, and i just want to include a way for users to upload an avatar. and for it to show next to comments. their posts, and in their profile. Any help much appreciated!
Most of us using bbpress are using wordpress as well.
Are you sure?
I would like a great degree of integration too, mainly blogpost/topics and comments/replies, but we may be in the minority. 
Most of us using bbpress are using wordpress as well. All we want is add the forum feature to our blog easily. If bbpress can just embed in a wordpress page, it will be much easier for us to work with both script. Just my thought
Suleiman,
since you were successful integrating wpmu and bbpress, could you tell me what they mean in the installation instructions (https://bbpress.org/blog/2006/09/simpler-integration-with-wordpress)
by “setting bb->wp_table_prefix”?
when i open config.php i see in the botton the following:
$bb->wp_table_prefix = ”; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;
so, again the question is what exactly do i need to change in config.php
thanks!

i attempted to login to trac, however the login information i use here (or at wordpress.org) does work for the trac login. Does anyone have any ideas for a workaround in the meantime?
Hi,
I have placed <?php login_form(); ?> in the wordpress sidebar and it doesn’t appear however once I goto the forum pages it displays the login form or the welcome messages.
I have the wordpress header file linked in the bbpress config.php file aswell.
Does anyone know what might be the problem?
Thanks,
Rich
Gack!
I listed a bunch of WordPress plugins. That doesn’t help. Basically, the concept is the same. You need to grab the RSS feed from bbPress and insert that into your site.
How about any of these techniques?
http://www.google.com/search?q=insert+rss+into+html
The first result looked promising…
Sorry Spencer, I haven’t seen the Gathering theme and aren’t particularly looking for a forum theme right now anyway. It’d be cool to see, though.
But please don’t take down WordPress, I need that WP/bb/Mediawiki integration article for future reference! 
Hello,
I can use one installation and run many wordpress sites (http://me.mywebsight.ws/2006/08/11/host-multiple-wp-sites-on-one-installation/) All you need to modify the config.php
Do you think this method can apply to bbpress as well?
Thank you so much for your support.
Yes, I made sure the registration.php existed. The weird thing is that if it had not existed, my .htaccess should redirect to the main page. It’s driving me crazy.
To top things off, I now have the bozo issue that I cannot resolve at work, and the users who I had register through WordPress are not able to comment (but I can)…but that’s another support issue entirely…I think.
Oh, I see what you mean. I just thought of those as seperate sub-forums of the main forum.
I don’t know how that option works. Perhaps it tags threads according to their category if that category is there? Just experiment with it a bit, and if you find out tell us
