I agree with djuggler. I have the same configuration as serimu on my self-hosted server. a .htaccess file at the root (/) for wordpress and a .htaccess file at /forum/ for bbpress. I have AllowOverride All enabled. Yet still no luck. I have had absolutely no problems with my 30+ installs of WordPress. But I’ve had no luck getting permalinks in BBPress working.
This is the only thing holding me back from using BBPress and I’m getting pretty sick of running XDForum.
It is confounding that so many people have difficulty with the pretty permalinks.
In my case, WordPress works great. It’s .htaccess rewrites appropriately. On the same server Drupal uses mod_rewrite successfully and without effort. But I have spent hours upon hours trying different configurations and tricks to get BBPress to have pretty urls and it just won’t work. I do not use GoDaddy. I use 1and1 ( http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=6598272 )
For so many people to have the same experience and say “wordpress permalinks work but bbpress’ don’t” just cries that there is something flawed in BBPress’ approach to clean urls.

Asking for paid support in a support forum is a no-no. I can suggest that you leave your contact information and then I can close the thread and/or drop a line over at the paid support list at:

I know that is WP list, but there are people that might help there as well.

Hi guys,
“Small” problem: when I try to activate Vili’s plugin in my WordPress plugin admin pannel, I get the following message:
“The plugin could not be activated for it’s causing a fatal error.”
:'( Any clue what the problem might be?
I’m using Wordpres 2.2 and BBpress 0.8.1, French install.
I didn’t change anything in Vili’s PHP, but maybe I should have?
I’m not programmer, so please help me
Thank you so much in advance!
How about this for including the latest bbPress posts in your WordPress sidebar?

Hi!
If you use the avatar plugin from Suleiman (here) on a WPMU install, you can use this plugin. I’m using it with bbpress 0.8.1 and the Crystal theme. Instructions in the file.

I have been hacking my wordpress files for months and for some reason bbpress files do not work the same. The bbpress header has no information, it looks like points to somewhere, does anyone know where to?
Thanks.
I have a question related to this.
If I can use a RSS feed on my WP Home Page, is there maybe a “Latest Discussions” feed from my bbPress forum that I could use?

I have resolved this issue, found this http://en.72pines.org/wordpress-mu/
Wow! Absolutely beautiful. Nice design and integration. Congratulations on a job well done.

“Another way to do .. parse your forum rss feed.”
Exactly what I was going to suggest. If the WP theme is widgetized, its user should have the RSS widget available, so he/she can just plug in the link to your bbPress install’s RSS feed. If not, he/she can use any number of RSS-in-sidebar plugins to accomplish this. (Or if they’re like me, do it by hand and use a plain RSS-to-PHP script.)
My friends and I make short films, draw comics, run a local film club, and have a blog. We wanted it all to have a central forum for discussion so I’ve tied the WordPress blog into the BBpress forum and I’m working on integrating the forum with the film site as well. Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks to the BBpress community for all the great plugins and helpful posts!
atomAstro, how did you get your titles/rss to work?
(I’m assuming your using WordPress for your blog)
I think I might have a problem with the theme I’m using, but I’m not sure.
Thanks!

Has anyone else been able to get the titles to work?
Thanks!

I have WP working fine, and BBPress working fine, they communicate they users and everything. wow. Anyway, I would like to integrate the forum on my WordPress theme, so that when I click on a forum page tab the header, footer, and so on looks consistent.
I have read a lot but cant find the solution.
My website is http://www.lumencreativegroup.com.
Thanks.
My username on my blog is “The Geek”, which does not work in bbPress… cannot even login, even though I’m already logged into WordPress.
This is not an integration issue, because other usernames without spaces work perfectly fine between WordPress and bbPress.
I’m comfortable with hacking the source… just wondering if anybody else has already found and fixed this issue already.
Ok tks, I hope that plugin can be created to integrate it to the WP, since he would be very useful
Not yet, or at least, not as far as I know. Note that that website doesn’t have it as a WP Page, either. You can, however, put it in a folder in the desired location and make it look like a WP page.
yeah, it wouldn’t be hard … you’d just do it the same way to do sizes … but the problem is to make it pass through the intermediate colors. A plugin in wordpress does that but it uses the minimum color for a certain threshold and for the rest the maximum.
Integration wht data base no problem, but can i integrate bbpress to a WordPress Page? like http://www.bbpress.es/foro/
Well, I was having those other problems, in my last thread.
I activated the mod_rewrite in Apache,
changed $bb->domain = ‘http://localhost’;
and $bb->path = ‘/blog/forums/’;
I had made the key_master “admin” which was same as my wordpress, which was a problem, but I fixed by altering the wp_usermeta as specified in another thread.
I believe that was it…. beside create a my-templates folder, and create a copy of the default one.
I had originally installed bbPress on a different database than WordPress and later I set the config file to use the WP database for users (I know, I know, but it was my first time installing bbPress…). It works fine except for one detail. Since the keymaster user was set on the bbPress db, after the switch I lost it, and now I can’t log in to the control panel.
Is there a way to make a WP user a keymaster? I tried adding the $bb->new_keymaster = ‘admin’; // thing to the config file and re-running the install (told me it was already installed) and the upgrade (told me nothing to upgrade) with no luck.
