Oh yeah, I do already use Google’s reader – but you can’t actually subscribe to a site from within that, can you? And I have tried Firefox – I use it spasmodically. It’s illogical and even stupid of me, but I am so used to IE I find myself opening it up by default, as it were. No question, it is inferior to Firefox.
Did you add that to wp-config.php as the first line, right after the <?php?
The error cannot redeclare means something has already been included that it’s trying to include again.

There are several different types of RSS feeds, so maybe some sites and some feeds are handled better than others.
If you are stuck using IE6 you’re going to need a feed reader. IE7 has one built in, and IE8 is due around the end of the year as well.
Once you try Firefox or IE7 (or any browser with tabs) I don’t see how you’d want to go back.
Here is more info about RSS readers:

Hi – I’m also trying to add access to bbpress functions inside WordPress. I took the advice above and added
require_once(‘path/to/bb-load.php’);
to my wp config file.
Now I get the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _http_build_query() (previously declared in /path_to_bbpress/bb-includes/wp-functions.php:768) in /path_to_wordpress/wp-includes/compat.php on line 45
Any ideas on why I’m seeing this and how to fix?
Thanks, Chris. I know Firefox is a better browser, and the only reason I am using IE is out of habit. Currently running IE 6, and I suppose newer versions are equipped for RSS feeds. Anyway, you’ve cleared up the mystery of the RSS coded page for me! Weird thing, is, IE does show RSS feeds as they should appear on various blogs I’ve subscribed to. Why it should be different for the WP and bbPress forums…aaarrghh, not even going to think about it!
Thanks, though I’m a little confused. I put that in as a plugin file (with the plugin info up top) and I got a fatal error when I tried activating it. Sorry, but I’m totally new to bbPres, and WordPress alike.
Edit: Never mind, I noticed a slight typo (you wrote the wrong function name and forgot a parenthesis) but it works like a charm now. Thanks for that. :]
It’s very easy to do this via a plugin.
You have to attach to the ‘bb_head’ action.
In fact if there’s a plugin for WordPress that does it, it would take under a minute to change it for bbPress.
Here’s a mini-plugin I wrote to do noarchive and nofollow:
function no_archive() {
echo "n".'<meta NAME="robots" CONTENT="noarchive,nofollow">'."n";
} add_action('bb_head', 'no_archive');
.
It would just have to be wrapped in an IF statement with a URI check to add it when you want it. To get the current location, either check bb_get_location or steal it’s code and modify as desired.
Something like this (untested)
function no_index() {
if (in_array(bb_get_location(),array("login-page","register-page","profile-page")) {
echo "n".'<meta NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow">'."n";
}
} add_action('bb_head', 'no_archive');
For those that know what they are doing and have subversion, you can checkout or switch to the alpha trunk of bbPress which will give you compatibility with WordPress 2.6
svn switch http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/
Unfortunately an automated download zip cannot be created because this is the first version of bbPress that uses BackPress which is automatically added by svn, but can’t be zipped by TRAC.
Here’s a ZIP’ed snapshot from yesterday:
http://www.mediafire.com/?alvvslgmh22
Keep in mind that you should NOT use the bbPress trunk for live websites – it’s bound to have bugs and some might affect security. You are on your own if you chose to use this version – plugins may have some compatibility issues.
1.0 requires the 3 new WP matching keys inserted into bb-config.php (see thebb-config-sample.php for more info)

Sam could use your bug reports via TRAC if you find problems.

ASCII 39 is an apostrophe though. Maybe on line 1706 there is an apostrophe rather than a single quote?
i shall wait until then to try bbpress.
i’ve also posted at WP about integration of bbpress w/ WP 2.6:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/191512#post-813236
There’s a great redirection plugin I use with wordpress to fix that issue. Maybe if this became a feature a plugin could be created to fix the old links indexed in the search engines.
Thank you,

I am very new to this, I hope someone can help me.
I had wp 2.5 installed from fantasico or what ever it is called from Cpanel. any way every thing was fine. I tried to upgrade to 2.6. I followed the instructions. backed up the files then deleted all the files and folder that I was told to delete and kept wp-contents, wp-config.php and htaccess.
I downloaded 2.6 to my computer, unzipped it. Using fillezilla I transfered the files over. Now this is what is said when you go to my site. (I havnt published my main site being http://www.mgjewellery.com.au the the internet yet) my site is http://www.mgjewellery.com.au/wordpress
Warning: Unexpected character in input: ”’ (ASCII=39) state=1 in /home/mgjewell/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1706
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/mgjewell/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1706
Can someone, anyone please help me urgently.I need very basic instructions. Thank you so much for reading
Here is a screenshot of my iGoogle page with the bbPress.org Recent Posts feed right at the top/center. Your post is visible there 
All the items on this page are RSS feeds.
http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/iGoogle.png
hmm – have to think about that one
chris, there are two parts to the key, you can’t define the other part via the bb-config.php
actually – have you tried completely clearing your cookies? Even with a mismatched key you should be able to login, just not sync with wordpress. The cookies might be scrambled until you clear them.
You need a feed reader, that’s all. With FireFox, when you click on the RSS icon, while viewing a topic page, I think it asks “subscribe to topic” and if you want to use “live bookmarks” which are RSS feeds built in to Firefox (this is probably different between FF2 and FF3.)
If you are seeing code, then the browser you are using is not equipped to handle RSS feeds.
Google Reader is one RSS feed reader:
http://www.google.com/reader/
The Google Personalize Home Page allows you to add RSS feeds right there too. I follow a lot of support forums that way. Just click “Add Stuff” then skip all the pretty icons and find the text “Add feed or gadget” which used to be called “Add by url” or something.
http://www.google.com/ig/
You just need a feed reader and I think everything will be fine.
energymv, there’s no real answer right now – I know it won’t happen in July and my educated guess is it’s not likely to be August. So for those that insist on a date, think September.
Sam has indicated he’s not inclined to release another version of 0.9 that changes to the 2.6 cookies, so maybe by late August there will be an early version of 1.0 beta that will be usable.
ps. sometimes Sam and MDA have been known to suddenly set a deadline and get cranking on code/bugfixes so don’t be surprised if they prove me wrong and magically churn out a new version in a few weeks – I’m just saying they have quite a bit of things to do before it’s ready…

Hi,
I entered the wrong Secret value when installing BBPress. Now when I go to BBPress Settings > WordPress Integration and try to change it, it logs me out of BBPress. The value obviously does not get updated. This only hapens if I try to change the Secret field.
How do I update the field as WP integration will not work otherwise? I don’t have direct access to the database, no PHPmyadmin option. My client is using PLESK.
Thanks!
This is very dumb of me, but I can’t find anywhere under the bonnet to register New Posts RSS feed with Feedburner (it’s a while since I set up my WordPress blog, but I seem to recall in WordPress, there is a place to do this).
I guess I go to Feedburner to register, then? Once I’ve done this, does this mean that every post will be notified to anyone who signs up for the feed?
hi i want to install bbpress for the 1st time. i have WP 2.6.
when might bbpress update be available for integration with WP 2.6?
I’m using the name based permalinks. After renaming a forum title the slug or permalink did not change. Is there a rebuild permalink feature similar to wordpress?
Thanks,
Gio
