bbPress 2.x is a plugin for WordPress just like any ‘other’ WordPress plugin and is no longer a ‘stand alone’ web app needing a bb-config.php. Everything is stored in the main WP database primarily using ‘Custom Post Types’ for the forum bits and all user bits are just WP users.

Hi guys,
I have a forums site though WordPress and bbPress and would like to know if the feature stated below is possible or hopefully created.
Hopefully it’s possible for there an alerts button in the menu bar that shows them recent replies to subscribed topics on a page.
What I need is for every time someone has replied to a topic they are subscribed to, in the menu bar the alerts link will have an icon with how many alerts (unread) eg (2) in an icon. This would require the alerts page too.
I saw this on forums powered by another forum software. (PAID)
I use the latest bbPress and WordPress.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
ayden1232
My goal is to share one DB between wp and bbpress, one registration, seamless for users. The process of accomplishing this seems to have changed.
There’s all sorts of documentation on this topic and I’ve spent the last five hours trying to find my answer before bothering the good people of the internet, so I would greatly appreciate a hand now. It would appear that in recent changes, bb-config.php no longer exists? Installation process where you can fill out DB details in an easy form process seems to be gone?
Integrating with WordPress
So the settings must be in a config file somewhere! This infamous “WordPress Integration” section must be somewhere!
I’m using WordPress 3.5.1 and BBpress 2.2.4
Thanks.
you need to use something like GD bbPress Tools to enable shortcodes for bbpress

@rewindcaz I actually disabled all of the default avatar systems that WordPress provides and created my own with a few small functions. I needed a custom made plugin because each avatar on the site is unlocked when you receive a new card to your collection. Users can also customize their chosen avatar with nine alternative colours, which helps provide individuality.
As I’ve received a ton of feedback from the Rats Clan bbPress forum I’m going to start blogging about my code – I’ll make sure this is one of my posts! 🙂
I’m having a similar problem. WP 3.5.1, bbPress 2.2.4, and all bbPress posts are being pushed to my site’s primary RSS feed for some reason. I’ve disabled all plugins, but the problem continues. Any thoughts or ideas as to what may be causing this?
Hello,
I need help with creating a log in box. I know the shortcode to use in the sidebar or in a wordpress page is [bbp-login], but I would like to create a log-in-box right on the main page of the forums as seen at studiopress.com/forums. I know that for this I need to add the code to the php template, though I do not know the code. Can you guys help me with the php code? Thanks in advance.
I’m using bbpress 2.2.4
Can’t seem to spot a trend. I’m also noticing a lot of oddities. The “Group Forum” index from BuddyPress shows there are forums, within groups, that have posts. When I click to view any of the threads that show up on the Group Forum index, it says there are no posts.
Something must be misconfigured, as I can’t imagine WordPress & BuddyPress & bbPress should be this complicated. I’ll go back to the drawing boards and re-read some of the documentation.
Thanks for helping me get the majority of the user-issue figured out.
I can’t think of any off the top of my head…
Try searching for a plugin though…
https://bbpress.org/plugins/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
Thank you 🙂
Its good to hear it from one of main developer 🙂
Sadly it will take time to accepted in wp repo if they close my tickets without reviewing like https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11449
I have installed bbpress to create a forum on my site, but i have a persistent bug or issue which hide all new topics and replys…
I get the “oh bother! No topics / forums were found here!”, even on my own (administrator) posts. I tried to reset, recount, reinstall the plugin, but no luck.
Even with Twenty Ten, Twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve the “Oh bother” message appears.
Please can someone help me?

@jeffcubed We have a ticket open with trac on this issue. You may check it out here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2225
If you’re experiencing the same issue as described in the ticket, then you might want to chime in to increase the ticket’s priority.
No not that I can see, it shouldn’t be doing what it is, thus it is a bug and needs to be fixed.
As above can you create a bug ticket on trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
Do they show in the widget if the user IS logged in?
I suggest you create a ticket with as much detail as you can https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
(Use your same bbpress.org user/pass to log in)
Ahhh… Cool… My Bad….
Take a look at `bbp_reply_class` in \includes\replies\template-tags.php#L1940
That is not a known issue… I would dig around to see if SimplePress has/had any custom attributes attached to that user and also what WordPress role does the user has to see if something somewhere else has played around with user roles and/or capabilities.
Just follow the steps in the document https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
Set `define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);` in your WordPress `wp-config.php`
Download the .po & .mo files
Rename the files
- bbpress-plugin-fr-fr.po to bbpress-fr_FR.po
- bbpress-plugin-fr-fr.mo to bbpress-fr_FR.mo
Upload both files to `/wp-content/languages/bbpress/ `
I would suggest you use the following page to ask if anyone in the French WordPress community has fully translated bbPress as the translations linked above are 0% & 11% https://fr.wordpress.org/contact/
If you are trying to translate the theme DynamiX or ‘codestyling localization’ plugin then they are issues with their respective authors.
I’d suggest taking a look at the code in the bbPress ‘Login Widget’ included with bbPress.
It behaves in very much the same way you are looking to have in your header.
What you are probably after starts at line #137 and depending on your needs use either `bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() )` or `bbp_user_profile_link( bbp_get_current_user_id() )`
No none of that should be a problem… That is a HUGE number of users so presumably if WordPress ‘was/is’ able to handle that amount without issue then bbPress won’t have a problem either.
If you are using the same WordPress install that SimplePress uses you don’t need to import the users. If you use a new install of WordPress you need to select the option ‘Convert Users’ to have the importer bring the existing users into the fresh WordPress install.
I’m using the Simple:Press to bbPress importer that comes with the latest version of bbPress. I am currently running the most recent version of WordPress and have Simple:Press 5.1.4.
The topic/replies imported perfectly, with exception to one bit. The forum thinks all the posts it imported were created by user 1, the main site Admin.
I have run “Recount topics for each user” and “Recount replies for each user” but they didn’t appear to fix it (and I’m guessing they aren’t meant for this purpose, based on their labeling)
I was wondering if anyone else was having similar issues.
After a few failed attempts, I was able to successfully do the conversion from bbpress 1.02 standalone version to the latest plugin version (2.2.4). Doing this requires a few steps and I might do a blog post about this later but for now:
1. You need to update the standalone version to 1.2. I tried importing without doing this and some data, like parent forums didn’t get converted so I ended up with a bunch of forums with no parent (and if you have a big forum, you don’t want that).
To update you need to download version 1.2 from https://bbpress.org/download/legacy/ and then download the backpress and pomo files that you see below version 1.2. You then need to create a folder called “backpress” in the “bb-includes” folder and dump in all files that come in the backpress-1.2-bbpress includes folder.
So you’ll have: bbpress>bb-includes>backpress>class.bp-log.php and so on…
Then download the pomo files and create a folder called “pomo” inside the “backpress” folder. Dump in the files you downloaded in there.
So you’ll have: bbpress>bb-includes>backpress>pomo>entry.php and so on…
Now you can update your standalone version to 1.2 as you did in the past. Be careful not to delete your bb-config.php and your old templates (if you had custom templates). Make sure you log in to your admin panel so the database gets updated.
2. Now you are ready to import using the import tool in wordpress. Download and install latest bbpress plugin version, then go to Tools>Forums>Import Forums and follow the instructions to import all your information (don’t forget to put “bb_” as your table prefix).
Hope this helps
With what you patched via #1835.diff that is the same as what was committed to /trunk in r4533 and is included in the upcoming bbPress 2.3.
