Tonight I tried to install bbPress, following the detailed instructions from the following screencast: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast. I’m running the newest version of wordpress and downloaded the newest version of bbpress as well.
I set all the database options based on the settings in my wp-config file and then ran into a snag. I couldn’t figure out if I needed to rename the default “bb_” database prefix to what my database prefix was “wp_” or leave it as the default “bb_”. I was planning to complete the integration route, so I changed the prefix to “wp_” thinking it would just add a few tables to my current SQL datbase. I also had a weird hostname, ” $_ENV{DATABASE_SERVER}” so I added that in the bbPress config hostname space.
I then went through all the other screens and bbpress said it installed with a “minor errors.” message. Unfortunately, I closed the screen in error and didn’t note the specific error.
Once I closed, I went to the site and while the article names we there, clicking on them resulted in a 404 error. In addition, I couldn’t log-in to my admin (said I didn’t have permission.) At this point, I assumed I did something wrong and deleted the “forums” folder, and restored my database.
I’d really like to use bbPress instead of Simple:Press because I heard it’s faster and fairly easy to customize. Any ideas on what went wrong? Is there a better set of instructions someplace?
Also, should I keep the prefix bb_ or change it to wp_?
Any help is appreciated. I’m pretty new at all this!

Hi everyone,
I’ve written a WordPress plugin which allows you to integrate your WordPress theme, widgets and many plugins into your bbPress theme. This is an alpha launch, so it’s probably buggy. Please file bug reports in the comments of the blog post please.
http://pixopoint.com/theme-integrator-alpha-launch/
This system DOES NOT require deep integration and does not suffer the performance hits that deep integration normally applies. This simply copies your HTML markup over after you set a bunch of things in each theme. If you don’t know how to do a 100% perfect integration of your theme already the old fashioned way (copying HTML and CSS across), this new system will not help you at all as you need to set that up already. Once it is setup however, the changes you make in your WordPress theme will be automagically applied to your bbPress site, along with changes such as plugins, widgets etc.
I’m not providing free support for this. Doing these types of integrations is very time consuming and I can’t afford to spare that much time to help you all integrate your themes sorry. I am keen to see bug reports etc though and will try to get them sorted as soon as possible.
The system works across a range of different softwares, not just bbPress. You can see a demo of it in my own support forum which uses SMF … http://pixopoint.com/forum/index.php?topic=1385.0
Topic: Misty Morning Theme
What happened to it? I found the WordPress theme and liked it but I can’t find the matching forum theme now because bbShowcase was shut down. Does anybody still have the original zip file? I also looked through this topic but had no luck.
I found the smilies here: http://pinvoke.com/
They seem to be a remake of the default WordPress ones – the others were just from all over the web. I plan to make my own set one day, once I have more experience in Icon Design.
Glad you like the compilation.
You’ve done a decent job with creating the bbPress theme to match your WordPress theme – now you should take a browse through the plugin gallery and make it look better.
I highly recommend bbCumulus, bbPress Topic Icons, Allow Images, Project Honey Pot (for Spam protection), and MyViews. Someone might highlight some other important ones – those are all I can think of at the moment.
This is my first real attempt at making a site using wordpress and using bbpress for the forums. Please take a look http://englishchile.com. Any feedback positive or negative will be appreciated.
thanks
Replying to kevinjohngallagher’s post (maybe its in spam, but I got an email notification as I am subscribed to topic):
1) Making “@” links is cool, and very “twitter generation”, even if its not something that’s totally globalised yet. But the “@” link is not pointing at what you’re replying to. We’re faking the functionality without the reasoning, which in the end will just confuse users.
On Twitter, you post on your profile page. People read it on their feed, and reply on their own Profile page. So a link to “@kev” goes to the page where “kev” has written his post. That’s the point of it, to link to someone’s post.
Here, we’re making the link “@kev” go to “/profiles/kev/” for the user to not see the post. That’s exactly the opposite of the purpose of the “‘@” linking system
–> That’s basically the work of a reply plugin, not of a mentioning plugin. I also have future plans with the plugin like linking
#tag, etc. Even if I do something like that which you have mentioned, then a single user can make multiple posts, then which post will the plugin link to?2) The other issue is that Twitter names don’t have spaces, while BBpress / wordpress names can. So if i write “@Michael R Thanks for your reply”, how does the plugin know where the username ends? What if it finds a “michael” in the usertable, it will then link “@Michael” to “/profiles/michael/” and the message will read “R Thanks for your reply”. In Twitter, it parses at the first space; but we can’t do that here.
Oh that will also involve looping through queries until you find a match, so first for Michael, then for Michael R, then for Michael R Thanks etc. Ofcourse there could/should be a word/search limit – either way there is huge potential for database issues there. Imagine adding up to 5 sql searches, per “@” per post, per page load.
The initial solution, and i suppose this is for Gautam, is to make a search of the user table for all users who have posted on the topic being replied to, which should narrow it down considerably, though it should be noted that if you have “Michael” and “Michael R”, or any similar naming issues, the plugin will not know that…
–> That can’t be helped. The plugin first checks if that username exists, if not, then checks if that nicename exists. This will be also mentioned on the plugin page.
3) You are effectively allowing a user to search your database for anything you put after your “@” symbol. Now this one is a little bit of scaremongering, but we’ve all seen bad coding before. What if I write “@drop table wp_usermeta hi bob, how much fun would this be
“. There is a reason that we try to make sure we don’t take database queries from the user.–> 1) This is what is used to match the username – /[@]+([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)/, so there is no point of mysql commands going in there.
If you want to test the plugin (how it works), you are free to use this as sandbox – http://forum.gaut.am/
I have made some posts to test the plugin here.
I’ve installed and integrated bbPress with WP for the first time, and user synchronisation seems to work perfectly. But for some reason, after i install bbPress and setup the integration, the icons in the WordPress admin disappears. I’ve checked that the png files are still in place, and this is the second time this has happened.
As far as I can tell it doesn’t affect any other aspects of the site, but still I’d really like to find out what’s going on.
