Everyone knows that the forums at WordPress are powered by bbPress.
And for any technology, the ultimate insult that your software has died is when someone comes in behind you to create a new system to replace your failing system.
Well, that just happened with bbPress !!!
Joel Spolsky has released StackOverflow to replace the current WordPress forums (powered by bbPress)

I hope MATT and others take notice and get serious about bbPress. It’s embarrassing that Joel has to call out all of the missing features and functionality and support of bbPress in his article (even though he doesn’t call out bbPress directly).
MATT, please take this as a major cause of action to improve bbPress.
wp_ = wordpress
wp_bb_ = bbpress
admin ID = 1
wp_usermeta:
1 wp_capabilities = a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}
1 wp_bb_capabilities = a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}
logout, login.
I’ve just placed the bbpress folder in my root wordpress directory of my site. I would like to integrate the two. Does it matter where I place the bbpress folder?
As soon as I navigate to the bbpress folder, I’m seeing the following error messages at the top…

Log out of WordPress, and log in to bbPress and you should have the admin link, if the user you log in to bbPress with is the keymaster.
Hi all…I have used wordpress(3.0.1) for quite some time and I’m using bbpress(1.0.2) for the first time. I’m having hard time integrating the two.
I can login to bbpress and wordpress using the same ID and password, however, when I login to wp I get logged out from bbpress and when I login to bbpress, I get logged out from wp. Seems like cookie problem?
Any help is much appreciated!
I think that these are no longer published. September 15 bbPress comes as an additional part of WordPress with plugin.
Hi All,
I’m new to bbpress and wordpress. I installed both on Plesk with mysql and php. I configured Cookies and Salt settings and both share same db. however, when I login to wordpress as a subscriber, I logged out of bbpress as a member. However, I can login to both site using same user id and password but when I login to one, I get logged out from the other. I’m really confused!! Please help!!
Thanks for the screenshots, those are perfect. There doesn’t seem to be anything weird with the .htaccess or permalinks settings, and it looks like you are accessing the proper directory.
As the other thread mentioned, there were public HTML files in two locations on the server, and that poster had installed into a directory that was not being served, making it look like the files were not there.
One thing that is probably unrelated – the forum files have loose permissions. The directories have 775 and they should be 755, and the files (php, css, js, images) should have 644, but they have [edit] 664. Should not matter, but some hosts won’t serve content when the permissions are too permissive.
Please do a test. Put a html file in the WordPress root (where the forum directory is located) and see if you can access it at http://klinewedding.com/test.html. If that comes up, put another file in the forum directory, and see if you can access that at http://klinewedding.com/forum/test-2.html. That will ensure we are looking at the correct directories. The file can be as simple as this:
<html><head><title>WordPress test</title></head><body><p>Test WordPress</p></body></html>
Save that as test.html in the WordPress root. See if you can access it by URL. Then try the same in the forum directory.
one of the sitemap pluggins i tried needs to be configured in the php, they’re not as straigthforward as the wordpress one so i can imagine lots of people having problems in setting them up, but i had no problems untill i activated the nicer permalinks pluggin
one of them needs another pluggin to work properly and some people might not notice it in the description (2nd one in the screenshot), im using the bbpress sitemap generator (1st one in the screenshot)
heres the screenshot

i got it. The problem was that I was trying to istall through the wordpress plugin folder, then activate in the admin. DUH
Now that I know it is a stand alone, the vague instructions make more sense.
Thanks for your help.
https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/
2- Upload the uncompressed files to your server
to vague for a newbie, when i first used a ftp program years ago to install wordpress i thougt “so many directories…where on heart i’m supposed to put wordpress?”
it takes times to learn…
Thanks. I thought it was a wordpress plugin. Does it have its own admin or can you run it through wordpress?
bbPress is not a WordPress plugin but it’s a standalone software.
I do not see a clear step by step list of instructions on how to do this. Anyone?
https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/ on this site.
you have to upload the bbpress folder to the server root where the wp-config.php file is along with all 3 wordpress directories, upload it there and then visit
http://www.mydomain.com/bbpress
Where do I place the bbpress folder after I download.
I thought it would go into the plugins folder within my current wordpress install. Nothing is showing up inside wrodpress admin. Please help.
Do I have to go to a unique URL to active something. http://www.example/com/blog/wp-content/plugins/”example”
I do not see a clear step by step list of instructions on how to do this. Anyone?
I have never used bbpress before and would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks
Thank you for the replies.
Here is a Filezilla screenshot showing my WordPress root directory (also the root directory of my site), with the subdirectory “forum” being the directory with the bbpress files:
http://klinewedding.com/images/wp_root.jpg
And here is what my forum (bbpress) directory looks like:
http://klinewedding.com/images/bbpress_install.jpg
Here are my WordPress permalink settings:
http://klinewedding.com/images/permalink_settings.jpg
And here is my .htacess file:
http://klinewedding.com/images/htaccess.jpg
The odd thing is that I got BBPress up and running a few weeks ago on another site (on another host) just fine. I figure it’s got to be that I’m doing something stupid, or this host has something strange with their settings.
Thanks again for your help.
bb-lover, I closed your topic because it is WordPress specific and asking _ck_ for help specifically. You should post at wordpress.org or any of the other WordPress-specific help sites, or try contacting _ck_ directly at her site bbshowcase.org.
Closing this topic because it too has turned WordPress-specific as well.
Hello.
Thank you for the suggestion, I wish I could but I cannot afford one now, or in the near future for that matter. The reasons are too complicated to explain here.
Anyway, I’m using this plugin with my wordpress site, and since I really like it, I would like to fit it into my website. I hope that I’m not too old for this, since I’ve never done anything like it before.
So, if there’s anyone out there with some suggestions (or some reading material) I would appreciate it.
I just instaled bbpress forum and i’m having problems with new user registration. I use iblogpro forum with iblogpro wordpress, i deep integrated wordpress and bbpress but i don’t share user between wp and bb ’cause i don’t alow any kind on coments on site or wp registration, i have separate databases for wp and bb, and everything works fine, but when i try to register like a new user i allways get “Email is required” but every time I input correct mail example name@gmail.com?
vasbinder that is great work! I just got bbpress and I am not using it yet because i want to put it on my site just like you did. I dont do coding can you help me get it to look like yours.

I think I am going to replace the webinars tab on the menu and replace it with forums.
Thanks
Casey
can’t help you porting it to wordpress but i have a suggestion for you:
WP-captcha free
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-captcha-free/
its the one i use and it doesnt require any action from the user.
its very clever how it works…i’ll try to explain…
a normal form for comments has 3 fields, all spam bots automatically fill all 3, what this pluggin does is addding a fourth field only visible to spam bots, if the fourth box id filled it automatically means its been made by an automated spam bot and that coment its blocked… at least its how i understand it works but i might be confused with another one.
Try it, visitors don’t like math problems etc.
Edit: it seems you want to block spammers from the registration form… don’t know if this pluggin works when a user tries to register.
I don’t know why my this topic is closed without any reason.
@Moderators: Did I say something wrong?
@_ck_ I think this plugin is for only comments?
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/math-comment-spam-protection/
I need simple math captcha plugin for wordpress registration form, like Human Test for bbPress.
If you are not interested then other developers are welcome here and their help would be appreciated.
But if someone else wants to convert it they are more than welcome.
If anyone else want this plugin please ask in this topic.
I’m hoping this topic will not be closed if any Mod don’t like it.
Thanks,
bb-lover
