You’re probably right about it being a bridge too far for this project, but since you asked what kinda plugins people would like to see, well.. That one for sure 
There’s a forum signature one already:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbp-signature/
As for an avatar plugin:
BuddyPress as mentioned and I’ve seen some others been mentioned in these forums too, but I didn’t test those.
There’s also an UBBcode/toolbar plugin but that’s about it I think.
a avatar plugin for profile edit was also nice.
you can integrate a existing one for wordpress into bbpress profile or so?!
Do you know of any good existing ones for WordPress?
You’re probably right, I never developed a plugin for WordPress yet, something I like to look into when I have some time again 
yes a unread/new post plugin was great.
a avatar plugin for profile edit was also nice.

For me, it ended up being that the user roles assigned in WordPress (I used a CSV import tool, then bulk modified user roles)did not get transferred to role in BBPress. All users in BBPress ended up with role of “No Role (inactive)”.. I had to have each of the 500 users manually changed to a role that had “Add” permissions.. once I did that, all good.. however, manually added new users to WordPress show in BBPress as having no role (inactive).

I’m meeting with some IT students tomorrow who will possibly be working on projects with me as part of their course. I was thinking that maybe they could make some simple widgets for the new bbPress plugin.
Are there any simple plugins/widgets that bbPress users would like built?
More information is available on WP Tavern:

And I’ve posted some of the current suggestions on Google+, none of them are bbPress related (yet):

Thanks for any ideas you guys might have
If I find the time I’ll see if I can test on a brand new install, but I don’t know if I’ll have that time.
Any idea what else could cause it?
Either way, it’s not really an issue for me for me at the moment, since it’s working now
PS > Lots of updates yesterday night, nice one!
I see the ticket, I commented on it yesterday. I can’t duplicate it, and don’t see any reason that cap would cause that behavior.
For what it’s worth, *not* wanting complete integration between a WordPress install and bbPress is the exception rather than the rule. It’s been a long while since someone has wanted two separate and disconnected installations.
Best of luck!
@chesternerd – This topic is in regards to bbPress 2.0, which is a turn-key plugin for WordPress.
@Stephanie Leary – Try r3404 – Multisite or single? Have you tried deactivating/reactivating the plugin?

“Where can I contribute translations
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/”
I was willing to translate to Spansh, since is my mother language, and I need it. I translated a few things and realised that it didn’t work, they need to be aproved to be downloaded. Then I saw this:
Language % Translated Untranslated Waiting
Spanish (Spain) 0% 0 706 818
Almost everything has been already translated, but is not aproved. I’ve been reading and it might not be perfect, since some words are still in english (for instance Topic instead of “Hilo/Tema”), but it would be great to have access to that translation. There’ll be time for future improvements, I am the first one interested.
So, who’s in charge of it?
Thank you.
PD: I need it for this http://www.opes.es/ new website. I got a translation file but is not completed. I am also looking for a guide to develop a plugin using the rewrite module, since the dynamic tests are now created using ?ID=x …

I am always updating the files as soon as I see an update here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin/ so I am REALLY looking forward to see that update

It’s this ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1576
Giving the “edit_other_forums” cap seemed to solve it.
Doesn’t seem so. Marking as resolved.
Separate as in users, or just not an inherent part of WordPress?
I highly recommend Vanilla:
http://vanillaforums.org/
That’ll give you a tight integration with WordPress, but through a “bridge”, so CMS and Forum remain two distinct systems.
That’s because the WordPress plugin is still in beta. There’s bits and pieces of information all over the forum and you can always ask questions of course.
Hi there,
I’ve added bbPress as a plugin to my WordPress install.
I’ve also created a page called ‘Forum’. I’ve created two forums, but the only way I can get them to display is to view them directly from the admin panel.
How do I make these visible from the forum link on my page?
With thanks,
DC.
Yea, I tried installing bbPress 2.0 as a plugin through WordPress. How do I merge my old bbPress with the latest version? Looking at the new ReadMe file, it wants me to upload the new version in my ‘wordpress/wp-content/plugins’ directory and not where I currently have it installed which is in the WP root directory.
The WordPress plugin of bbPress (2.0) does this.
I have installed the latest 3.2.1 version of WordPress, and it is a private site/blog that requires all users to register before they can access the site. I could desperately use the bbPress forum, but I need the same security features as my site. I’ve installed bbPress 1.0.3 to my WordPress directory, and have enabled this forum to be a Private Forum by using the ‘private forums’ plugin.
All the integration with WP & bbPress works correctly, and the current users that have already registered with my site already have access to the forum. However, any new users need to register through my WP site, NOT the bbPress forum.
In short, how can I redirect the registration link on the forum to that of my WP registration page?
I agree HotShotTwo. This is a feature I need desperately.
I had a (good regular)user keep posting af reply to a topic, but he didn’t see the comment. Fortunately he wrote me, and I found it marked as spam (several times) in the database.
That must be three problem:
1. The user wasn’t notified that his comment was marked as spam
2. The user had a bunch of approved comments, so this shouldn’t happen should it?
3. I couldn’t see this anywhere in the WordPress backend
