That’s in the plans but feel free to open a trac ticket. I’d like to work within the existing WordPress roles and caps if possible, but also understand it might be nice to have dedicated forum admins and moderators.
My immediate thought would be to enable WordPress multisite and use a dedicated site with dedicated ‘staff’ for the forums, but I also understand that’s only one particular use-case and isn’t optimal for everyone.

Hi Everyone,
First of, hello bbPress world!! I am a newbie here and am about to install bbpress on one of my wordpress sites. This is my first time adding a bbpress forum onto a wordpress blog and I have a few basic questions. I have browsed through several of the posts but have not really found a specific answer, so here goes my questions:
1) Should we be creating a separate database for bbpress or share the one we are using our worpdress on?
2) Is it recommended using a bridge so wordpress users can be members of the blog and forum without having to create 2 separate accounts, one for blog and another for forum?
Thanks,
Alex
I found that to exclude multiple forums, it has to be a negative value in exclude:
get_latest_topics('exclude=-3,-16,-28')
according to the wordpress codex, the numbers are supposed to be in ascending order, so I assume order is important in bbpress too.
zaerl: bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin. It’s a standalone software.
Not yet anyway like driz states! Development is on-going right now, but the basic functions all work, and things are slowly starting to take shape!

Well, if phpBB has a RSS feed to allow exporting a certain user’s post you could use RSS to export everything that you did.
I am guessing the URL is – http://www.sos-audition.org/forum/ and if so, I do not recall there is even RSS feeds on phpBB 2 so sadly it seems either a copy and paste job, see if you can get the database another way (maybe pay them ?) or say farewell to that data.
Other then RSS, database or copying and pasting, I do not see a quick way to do what you are looking to do sorry.

Oh don’t worry about it, I’ll see if we can get the thread locked!

You’ve indentified a number of possible plugins that can help/prevent any SPAM on your forum Ramiuz. Yes I’d recommend you used Akismet because it’s designed to work on this kind of stuff, plus it’s owned by Automattic who make sure it integrates well with the likes of bbPress (and WordPress!) — If there is a problem with it, do the developers know about it?
My $0.02 anyway!

Yeah, I did get the help I needed there and if I could have removed my post I would have. I feel like a litterbug.

Yeah you’re best place to get support would be BuddyPress, while it’ll integrate with bbPress, I believe they do some cool stuff with code to make it possible, you’ll also get a much quicker response!

Lots of updates and rearranging today.
If you’re running on an SVN check-out you’ll want to SVN up. If you’re running on a zip download, you’ll want to deactivate the bbPress plugin, delete your /wp-plugins/bbpress/ directory, replace everything, and reactivate the plugin *in that order*
A first pass at WordPress capability support is now included, so that will cause issues if you don’t deactivate/reactivate.
Going to work on topic and reply count functions next.
I now see that I did need to keep this at BuddyPress. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

My mistake, I didn’t communicate my issue properly. Guess it was lack of sleep. This is a bbPress/WordPress/BuddyPress issue and I am hoping somebody out there knows what I’m doing wrong.
If I could delete this post I would to start over.
I installed bbPress into WordPress/BuddyPress site. Following the bbPress installation instructions, I uploaded bbPress into a folder and renamed it “forum.”
I pointed my browser to the install page and filled out the three step form and all seemed to go well. I got an email from the bbPress installer stating that my installation was successful.

This is my issue:
In order to integrate bbPress into my WordPress/BuddyPress site, I need to use the “Forum Setup” option under the BuddyPress panel in the WordPress admin area. When I attempted to use the option offered to me labeled “Use an existing bbPress installation” I am asked for the location of my bb-config.php file. When I put in the path, I get this message:
“The bb-config.php file was not found at that location, please try again.”
I have tried using the path from the root of my server with and without using the actual bb-config.php file name.
I have tried using the absolute path using my domain name with and without the file name above and with and without the “.www” in the path.
I cannot think of any more possible ways to direct my site to know where bb-config.php is located. I can see it on the server and can open it. Nothing I can see is out of place.
Anyone familiar with this issue? Thanks.

Hi people,
I’m running a (french) WP (3.0.1) site :
http://www.oreille-malade.com
There is a (not integrated) bbPress (1.02) forum :
http://www.oreille-malade.com/forum
I used to participate a lot in a forum dealing with same kind of topics (hearing issues) : http://www.sos-audition.org (phpbb)
Today one of the admin of SOS-audition.org told me they decided to close their forum in a near future. This is very sad as there is a lot of good informations on this forum. I don’t want it to disappear completely from the web !
These people don’t agree to let me import all their datas because they think it would not be “correct” for users but they are OK for me to import all topics I participated in. In other words, I am allowed to import SOME of their content.
I let more than 2000 posts on this forum those days so you can guess it would be a loooooong task for me to do it all manually.
But as they completely abandon the forum they don’t want to do anything to help me do this. So no way for me to get my hands on their phpbb database 
So here is my question :
is there a (quite simple) way to import this content and export it to :
1. either posts on WordPress
2. or topics on bbPress
Any help would be much appreciated !
Best regards
