Hey,
I just got done redesigning my forum section to match my main WordPress theme. I would love some feedback. If it’s positive, I probably will release the WordPress and bbPress theme to the public.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have a link to what you’re talking about?
Of course you can do a conditional in PHP, it’s just a matter of how you integrated things and if the functions are available between WordPress and bbPress.
What breadcrumb script are you using?
There are two people committing code for bbPress and one of them (mdawaffe) was heavily involved with the WordPress 2.5 release.
If there have been two release candidates for WordPress, that means there have been changes to WordPress that we have to match in that time.
It’s just a matter of limited resources at this stage. We also have identified one blocker which needs to be fixed before we can release 0.9
Hello there,
i upgraded wp to version 2.5 succesfully.
But now i have a small problem. It seems that bbpress and wp do not communicate anymore as before as if the integration is broken. I am not more logged in into bbpress if i am logged in into wp and vice versa. I did not try to create a new testing user to see if he/she will appear in wp and bbpress yet. Is anyone experiencing the same?
Could this be a cookie issue with WP 2.5 (hashing method?)? The intergration between wp 2.3 and bbpress 0.8.3 worked smoothly until now.
This method http://bbpress.org/blog/2006/09/simpler-integration-with-wordpress/ ceased to work for me since the wp upgrade. Will it be fixed with 0.9 version?
Hi
I’m integrated.
I use a breadcrumb script in my WordPress header.
Any idea if it’s possible to display the bbPress breadcrumb script INSTEAD of the WordPress one when on the forum?
Something like if (is_forum()) or something?
I believe the new support forum theme was designed by the same people who redesigned the WP admin screens (Happy Cog).
Here’s an explanation of how to get avatars working in WP 2.5:

I really like the new theme they are using and was wondering if anyone knew if they had released it or where they got it from?
Also on a non-bbpress note, how do you turn avatars on in WP2.5? I can’t find it at all.
Release of bbPress 0.9 is imminent.
We need to test against the final release of WordPress 2.5 before we can release bbPress.
You need a plugin to post images because bbpress out of the box is very lightweight. Many forums don’t want or need images, so that functionality comes in the form of a plugin. For example, the largest bbPress installation ( https://wordpress.org/support/ ) doesn’t allow images.
If you post a link to your forum and possibly a little better description of what you are doing, what happens, and what you expected to happen, maybe someone can help you.
bbPress 0.9 is imminent.
We will do some final testing against the final release of WordPress 2.5 first though.
Disappointingly that build does not feature a redesigned admin – is this not in the pipeline? It would be nice if it matched the new WP style!
Any update on a release date for 0.9?
Well that was a sneaky WordPress release.
They usually seem to wait for Mondays.
If you don’t want to wait for the formal official release of bbPress 0.9 , this is technically 0.9 beta (or release candidate) directly from the trac/svn:
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1381/branches/0.8?old_path=%2F&format=zip
You’ll need it to match the new password method in WordPress 2.5
There are a TON of subtle (and not so subtle) bug fixes in bbPress 0.9 – Sam and MDA have been hard at work.
I think WordPress.org already had Gravatar support for quite a long time, but I’m also interested, if they do run 0.9 by now?
Just a shot in the dark, but I’m guessing the new WordPress.org is using an updated version of bbPress. Looks new-ish! (has gravatar support, etc)
They’ve a bit slow with releasing the new 0.9 version
^ I suppose you’re right in a way but certainly more feature should be allowed for it. I’m just praying to god someone finds a way to get rid of the password in an e-mail thingy. Lets hope it is released soon…
I am sure the team with have bbPress out very shortly – afterall WP2.5 was only just released.
@MUN33B: As far as I can tell from the nightly build I have been using, the sending password to email is still the default setting for bbPress (as it is with WordPress). In terms of comparing it to MyBB (which is a great bit of software – the team should be proud) it’s a bit hard – bbPress is intended to be a lightweight forum solution, minimal on features but highly customisable – where at software like MyBB tends to have all the features built in.
Well that’s my 2 cents anyway
I’m upgrading as we speak. I hope 0.9 comes out soon aswell. I hope they’ve improved Admin CP and features. And hopefully got rid of the whole send password in an e-mail thingy because that is one of the reasons I moved away from bbPress. MyBB 1.4 is in Public BETA and it is 10x better then bbPress. Hopefully 0.l9 will have major improvements.

2.5 is finally live. So will we be seeing bbPress 0.9 now too?
Let’s hope so!
Any idea when? Is it all dependent on WordPress?
I’ve removed all cookie stuff, but now you have to login to bbPress and WordPress separately. Is there no solution as yet?
OK. A bit more research…
For me, it has nothing to do with plug-ins, for this was occurring before plugins.
It’s also not directly related to Keymaster – I created a moderator account and it can only add one tag before getting permission errors.
This really feels like the ajax issue.
This is the post about it before they came up with the eloquent plug-in solution… does it transfer to this problem at all?

I have looked around and tried retyping my config.php, as well as making sure there are no spaces before and after the <?php and ?> but I am still getting these errors:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/bb-settings.php on line 169
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/bb-settings.php:169) in /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/bb-admin/install.php on line 10
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/bb-settings.php:169) in /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1910
I searched for them here on the forums and elsewhere, but all I got is the spaces thing and that is not the problem. The installation still goes through too, but those errors stay at the top and once it is installed I can’t login due to the errors. I tried reinstalling and that didn’t work either. I am installing on the same database as an existing wordpress blog. Any help?
p.s. I replaced my site name with xxxx
Hi, I followed the steps to install this forum, everything looks fine, the forum is up and running, the problem now, as soon as I try to access my profile I get an 404, cause there is no directory named /forum/profile/
I gave before setup new a chmod 777 to /forum/ but its the same problem.
I made the /forum/profile/ manual, but nothing change…
so, now I just need to know, this problem is between my ears or can be solved 
MySQL Client-Version: 4.1.11
PHP-Version 4.4.7
Forum is installed without wordpress
Thanks
