I just installed the bbpress plugin for wordpress:
http://cultiphone.com/forums
What I was wondering is how to install bbpress plugins like bbPM inside the bbpress plugin for wp 3.1.3?
I hope that makes sense.
Are there known issues with translations in bbPress 2.0 beta 3b and WP 3.2 RC2? Got a fully translated language file, but still seeing a lot of untranslated strings. POT/GlotPress not up to date?
/edit found the updated pot. But still, GlotPress is not up to date.

Hey guys. One of the projects I work on has a bbpress forum that is very popular. I am talking recent daily traffic of over 160K page views.
When the traffic gets that crazy requests from bbPress start stacking up until all the memory is exhausted then mySQL shuts down.
Initially, we had the site on a RackSpace ‘cloud sites’ hosting account but it could not support it. The forum/site continually crashed during peak traffic.
Recently we moved the site to VPS.net. With access to the my.cnf we were able to keep the site going but it required us dedicating 3 CPUs and 3 gigs of memory and even at that we maxed out and ssw slow downs.
I am not much of a programmer or mySQL guy so my question to you is this… would you be interested in looking at our log files or anything to see what the root cause of this is and to maybe enhance, modify, whatever… offending code? db queries?
I am looking forward to moving over the bbPress plugin but I am a little apprehensive that it might perform worse during these peak traffic times which we cannot afford.
Perhaps your poking around and doing an analysis could help us both out. Thanks!
I allowed unregistered users to post on my website http://www.fotografbucuresti.ro, and everything worked fine for a few days, but then the bbpress forum and comments started to get filled with apparently non-add posts, but all look alike.
I protected comments with Math Plugin, but for bbpress I only found anti-spam on registration, not for posts made by unregistered users.
I don’t want to restrict posts to registered users only, but want to use a capcha system or question-answer.
Please suggest something that adds one more field for security when posting in bbpress as anonimous
@Farlek – There is one and it is done. But I don’t think I’ll release it until bbpress plugin for WP has a stable release. Its getting very close, so just a few more weeks.

I’m using a custom menu in my WP installation and want to include a ‘Edit Profile’ that links to a user’s bbpress edit profile page.
I’m using the following function:
bbp_get_user_profile_edit_link()
Which looks like this in the sidebar:
<a href="<?php bbp_get_user_profile_edit_link(); ?>" class="button">"><?php _e('Edit Profile','mytheme')?></a>
But it doesn’t work. Any suggestions on the above?
Thanks Andre.. this clears up quite a few things.
Ah okay, thanks Andre, but I don’t really want this bbpress plugin forum to get confused with the buddypress group forums, I just want to set some forums to members only.
Maybe I can do this with a user roles plugin as currently Admin can see the private forums so maybe there is a way using user roles to give authors and above access. Of course I have to be careful because if bbpress and buddypress become aware of each other then it could mean authors have access to forums of private groups they aren’t meant to see. Tricky…
Eventually bbPress 2.0 will be used as the forum component of BuddyPress. The private features in bbPress were built for that, but won’t really be useful until BuddyPress and bbPress the plugin become aware of each other. At this point the private features in bbPress are just hooks for future addons.
I’ve asked at which version of BuddyPress and bbPress will they be made aware of each other, but haven’t received and answer.
bbPress 2.0 plugins are installed like normal WP plugins, in the wp-content/plugins folder. The my-plugins folder is only used with bbPress standalone, versions 0.x and 1.x. Most of the plugins out right now, and possibly all of them, were designed for bbPress stand alone and will not work with the bbPress plugin. Please make sure the plugins you are trying to use were made for the version you are using.
There aren’t many options for bbPress 2.x. You can administer:
forums at /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum
topics at /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic
replies at /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply
other settings at /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress.
If it’s not on one of those pages you’ll have to dive into the code.
Well if that’s the case, then except for creating forums/topics/replies, I can’t do anything else at all.
What about plugins for example? Should I put them into my defauly wp plugins folder? Or should it go into wp-content/plugins/bbpress/my-plugins?
I tried the second method and WP doesn’t identify any plugins for bbpress
It appears in the normal wordpress admin section. It doesn’t have its own separate admin any more.
Hi. Got an install of the bbpress 2.3 beta on a WordPress multisite with Buddypress on the main site. Its hidden from users for the minute while I set it all up. Yeah, I know its a beta and ‘Thar be dragons’ and all that, but really the forum is backed up anyway, and as I say, it isn’t actually visible to users yet.
Just one thing, in the existing site I’m migrating from (which wasn’t multisite but just a single site BuddyPress with integrated single site bbPress), I had set some forums to be visible to members only using a bbpress plugin. Now it looks like in this new bbpress you can set certain forums to ‘Private’ and in the help it says ‘Private (seen only by chosen users)’. Has the bit to choose these users been implemented yet? I can’t find how to chose the users that can see a private forum.
Maybe I’m missing something obvious. Any help appreciated… 
I wasn’t talking about ‘installing’ the plugin, I was refering to how to access the bbpress admin section.
I’m having a problem with the import from the standalone bbpress. However, it could be due to size. My current bbpress stats:
7 forums
12246 topics
274779 posts
8498 users
When I import, it cuts off right about 4,900 (page stops loading and ‘completes’). When I go back to import again, it asks if I want to start over or continue, and although I choose continue, it just re-imports the same ones it did before (starts over). I’ve used .htaccess to set my php upload limits and max execution time to a bunch of 9s, so that’s not it.
Any ideas? I can do it manually through phpmyadmin or something if need be, I’m just not sure exactly where to put everything. Site is WP 3.1.3 and bbpress is 1.0.3
Which version of bbPress are you using, plugin (2.0) or standalone (0.x or 1.x)
I’m pretty sure that’s it for options. Plugins for the plugin version of bbPress are installed the same way regular WP plugins are installed.
When i try and install bbPress plugins into my site i get the following error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /nfs/c08/h03/mnt/115251/domains/lostgarage.com/html/v2/wp-content/plugins/bb-attachments/bb-attachments.php on line 74
has anyone else had this happen?
I am trying to install a few different plugins into bbPress, however i have no clue where to actually go in the admin pannel to install them. on this site in the docs it says go to the bbPress plugins section however i dont see any section like that. I currently just have my normal plugins section and after making “my-plugins” folder and adding things…. nothing shows up in the plugins section of my wordpress admin.
the path is /plugins/bbpress/my-plugins
other than that whats the next step, am i missing something?
the specific plugins im adding are bb-attachments, bb-smilies, bbpm
thanks for any help

RC 1 due out tonight, with lots more little audits and fixes. Thanks to everyone for testing and feedback.
Just a suggestion to clarify the login options for bbpress.org.
Upon registration, my username was taken. Figuring I had forgotten I had already registered, I requested a password reset email. Sure enough, I received such an email from bbpress.org including a password reset link. Following the link, I was told that I may not change my password.
Now I’m stuck with no way to submit for any assistance. I tracked down the most active user here to his buddypress.org page, which indicates I can login with my wordpress.org account, which works (same username).
So, I try my luck with my wordpress.org account at bbpress.org, and here I am. Single-signon with wordpress.org is fine… but not clear to new visitors (reflects poorly on the state of bbPress as a first impression).
Please understand, I’m not trying to be critical, and I like what I’m seeing from bbPress. I’m just giving this use-case to help improve the experience. Best wishes.
put bbpress folder in
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/
In wp-admin console (in web browser) go to buddypress>forums setup> and point to bb-config in bbpress folder you just installed.
Of course you will need to add your MySQL access details in bb-config.php
Plugin for the plugin version of bbPress are installed the same way WP plugins are.
I’d also like to turn off the Home link (first breadcrumb). From this post, I gather it is reasonably easy to do (I’m OK with editing the source).
Can you offer a little more guidance on what to edit?
