I have Bpress intergrated with wordpress. Everytime A new user joins the site the user is added to the forum but there user role is unaasigned. If I go into the bbpress admin and then wordpress intergration and just save the user settings, not change them just save them it updates the new users. Any ideas?
Thanks for the tip. I’m talking with my developer now, and it seems we’ll go for making a plugin.
A piggy-back plugin could be created, to monitor the blog post entry, check which category it’s going into, and then at the same time create the topic. It would need some kind of interface to map blog categories to forums, and you’d need to figure out how to handle edits, etc…
An easier solution, might be to use your blog posts AS the forums, and attach the topics directly to them instead. That should be possible too, although I haven’t tested it extensively.
May I ask a simple question ?
I install my wordress here:
mysite.com/wordpress/
To help to the bbpress plugin in wordpress to work. I need to install my bbpress forum here ? :
mysite.com/bbpress/
Or in a new folder here ? :
mysite.com/wordpress/bbpress/
Last, just to be sure:
First, WordPress install
Second, BBpress install
Third, bbpress wordpress plugin install and activation
Right ?
Thank you
Chris.
Will do – thank you for the masterful quick response (and a working solution right off the bat 
My only other question in terms of bbPress is how to set it up so that new posts in particular categories are automatically added as new topics in respective parts of the forum.. but that’s not at all related to my original issue, so I’m breaking the thread here (feel free to point me in the right direction though
Afraid I won’t have much time to test this in the coming days. If someone wants to help collaborate on that one, have at it.
@BaraBajen – What version of bbPress are you using?
Score.
Keep in touch and definitely report back anything else you find.
I’m glad to report that this fixed all my issues with bbPress 2.0 beta 2b.
It appears any permastruct with…
/%category%/
…in it is plagued with this issue.
Can you remove that from your structure and try again? If that fixes it, then an obvious work-around for now is not to use the category name in your permalinks. Thinking it’s a WP core issue, but need to look deeper into $wp_rewrite
(p.s. – I deleted your posts from the other topic, as it was an unrelated issue)
Almost, yeah
/%year%/%category%/%postname%/
This is the .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
What are your permalinks set to? I’m going to go out on a limb and guess:
/%category%/%postname%/
Update: I can’t edit posts that are the first one in a new topic either. The page just refreshes and I’m back where I was when I click “Edit” on such posts.
Hi there,
We are experiencing really odd behavior on our WordPress 3.1.2+bbPress 2 beta 2b installation. People can post replies, but when they edit them, they disappear from the topic. They are, however, still counted towards the “posts in topic”-count, and I can find the posts in the admin console (“Replies”), but they don’t show up in the threads.
If anyone would be able to help me out with this, I would be eternally grateful – we were planning on launching the site by the coming weekend (5th of June, 2011).
Admin-access to the site is of course no problem either.
To get the HTTP authentication plugin running with bbPress 1.0.3 I had to do a few tweaks. Here is the diff from the original file and my modifications:
42c42,45
< global $bb_submenu;
---
> if (function_exists('bb_admin_add_submenu')) { // Build 794+
> bb_admin_add_submenu(__('HTTP authentication'), 'use_keys', 'http_admin_page');
> } else {
> global $bb_submenu;
44c47,48
< $bb_submenu['plugins.php'][] = array(__('HTTP authentication'), 'use_keys', 'http_admin_page');
---
> $bb_submenu['plugins.php'][] = array(__('HTTP authentication'), 'use_keys', 'http_admin_page');
> }
176c180
< $user_exists = bb_user_exists( $user );
---
> $user_exists = bb_get_user( $user, array('by' => 'login') );
226c230
< ?>
No newline at end of file

Hope this helps someone.

I was able to get Comment Form Quicktags showing on bbP’s reply form by adding add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', array(&$this, 'detect_start')); but not on the topic content form. I tried:
add_filter('bbp_topic_content', array(&$this, 'detect_start'));
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', array(&$this, 'detect_start'));
What am I doing wrong?
When I fill out the New Topic form, it creates the topic, redirects me to the topic.php page with my new topic showing, however it shows up twice, as if there were two topics. When I refresh the page, the second one goes away. It only shows the topic twice right after submitting the form.
Here is the bbPress forum: http://new.earwolf.com/forums/forum.php?id=13
Feel free to create a topic to see what I mean.
Any ideas? I tried deactivating the plugins I am using (bb-attachments, bb-video) but it did not make a difference.
Here are the settings. It doesn’t matter if I’m logged in as admin or a vanilla user, same problem. And the other problem I have is I can’t post to this forum from FF in my Mac. I’m in a Win7 VM now using IE 9.
Settings are currently restrictive while I sort this out.

I’ve just installed the bbPress 2.0-beta-2b in WordPress 3.1.3. Regardless of the browser (FF Mac, FF Win7, IE 6-9) I get the Slow down error, and cannot post.
Here’s a url to the error screen. It offers no clues so I’m hoping you can. I’m happy to provide any info that can help solve this.

Thanks!
Just a quick f.y.i. so I don’t forget about this one.
If you are using a combination of forums and sub-forums and you set the widget to ‘-1’ it doesn’t work. (At least on my install)
Setting the widget to ‘0’ works just fine.
Sorry 1 more question…
Where is the bundled import tool in bbPress 2.0?
Thanks John, think i will go for option 2 for now.
j
Never mind, just saw this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/here-goes and I think some of the links at the end of the suggested tut will help.
thanks john. i followed the instructions, and edited the style.css in /wp-content/themes/bbpresslifestyle …
snippet:
* Theme Name: bbpresslifestyle
* Template: lifestyle
and activated the child theme via dashboard. the result is:
http://www.mandressed.com/?forum=mandressed-forum
and some of my page elements from the parent theme (not all) are no longer displaying. again, i wonder if it’s because of the theme’s custom framework.
or i’m really, really close…
(betting on the former).
meh.
thanks!
