I managed to get past the fatal error by adding these two lines in my bp-config.php file:
define('BB_DATABASE_CLASS', 'BPDB');
define('BB_DATABASE_CLASS_INCLUDE', false);
Now I’m getting more errors:
Warning: Missing argument 2 for BPDB::__construct(), called in .../forum-svn/bb-settings.php on line 197 and defined in .../lomo-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/importers/bbpress.php on line 29

This is using bbPress plugin 2.0-beta-2b and bbPress standalone trunk.
Hmmm, that’s curious. I’ve re-tested. No plugins, twenty ten theme, regenerated permalinks, and I can’t use the same slug. I get a page not found error when trying to view standard tag…
waitaminute…
Ah, there’s the conflict. Something I should have tested earlier.
If the 2 slugs are the same, and the
“Incude the Forum Base slug in your single forum item links”
Option is unchecked, that’s when I get the clash…..
I’m trying the beta 2 of bbPress plugin in my localhost environment.
I noticed that all subscriber users can view deleted posts or posts marked as spam by the admin.
Is it a bug?
Curiously I have testbp.org setup to use the same slug for blog tags and topic tags, and see no issues.
Just installed beta 2…. lovely so far 
Just figured I’d report this here for information. I’m not skilled enough to know which end the conflict would be on.
With Otto’s SFC (Simple Facebook Connect) there are numerous modules that go with it. There seems to be a conflict between bbPress plugin, and the Like button module.
When the Like button is active, I can get to the main forum listing. But if I click to get to the individual forum pages, I just see the title and nothing further.
This only occurs when running it straight from the plugin. I have a simple twenty ten child theme on VoodooPress. I originally dropped all the files into my theme, and it worked fine. But I don’t want to run it that way, as the intent of the site is to always run a customized (child) version of whatever WP’s default theme is. So keeping just the plugin running is easier.
When I drop all the files out of my theme, and run bbPress as just a plugin, I get the conflict.
Just wanted to make everyone aware in case they run into this. So far, bbPress is a great plugin. Slowly working through things to figure it out.
Discovered the problem in my situation. It was a permalink clash. The default settings for the forums sets the tags slug as tags. My permalinks for WP have the default tag base of tags. So the default forum and standard WP tags were conflicting. When I renamed my forum tag slug to topic-tags everything works again
I haven’t quite figured out the best way to reliably integrate the login/register/lost-password pages into theme compatibility yet. The tentative plan is to finish up their shortcodes so they can be used on any page and ready for 2.0.
@danieljuhl – The hidden and private forum support is more-or-less baked into bbPress core to provide that functionality to other plugins, most notably BuddyPress which uses them for public and private group forums. There’s a high likelihood the forum visibility option will be hidden from bbPress 2.0, with the option for developers or other plugins to enhance that functionality.
Closing this topic, as the importer is now bundled with bbPress 2.0

Looks like it is possible to register new users with a link like this:
http://riftlabs.com/wp/wp-login.php?action=register
This displays a page saying “WordPress – Register for this site” which is a bit confusing
Is there a way to register new users in such a way that it looks like users are signing up to the forum and not to WordPress?
Also, the email confirmation roundtrip takes the users back to the homepage. It would be super if it took the user back to the forum.
Cheers,
Morten
I ran the upgrade yesterday from the import menu after installing the plugin, and it worked great. I had some issues where topics lost the topic_author field, but I think that may have happened when converting from phpbb to bbpress, not from bbpress1 to bbpress2.

Hi
The forum plugin is amazing and I love it. Huge kudos!
I’m trying to get a forum up and running at http://www.riftlabs.com
I’m using bbPress with an existing Woo template.
The (only?) thing I can’t seem to add is user registration. There is no widget or shortcode for it.
I tried adding bbPress – TwentyTen as a child theme, but that messes up the layout, which is to be expected, I guess.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Morten
Most likely because it used your WordPress user tables and not your bbPress ones. So all of your topics and posts technically don’t have user accounts connected to them anymore
Is that an expected result of using the integration tool in 1.0.3?
Oh, I just noticed this:
Since you have two sets of user tables (WordPress/bbPress) there’s no way to automate the merging of them. You’ll either need to do it manually, or pick one set over the other.
I don’t actually care what happens to my WP users TBH — there is only one account attached to all of the blogging and page creation and I can recreate that account (that account’s pages and posts, not so much). Is there anything I can do in this scenario if I don’t care about maintaining my WP users or don’t mind recreating them? I’ll still need to have one WP admin user at the end of it all so I can actually log in, of course.

I guess that would be easier if I could make WP integration work on my existing install, since I’d be able to look at a bbpress database that was already mapped to WP roles. Do you know why my integration attempt resulted in all of my bbpress user accounts being turned into anonymous? There was no error, I just had no more accounts when it completed. They keymaster was also logged out and removed.
There’s not a clear path honestly, since everyone’s installations can be markedly different. To guess at exact SQL queries you would need to run would do more harm than good.
If it was me, I would spend a lot of time analyzing the data in the 2 databases with something like phpMyAdmin, and come up with a plan on how to combine the two databases and WordPress/bbPress users tables together into 1.
Hi John,
Thanks for following up. Can you give me a very granular definition of ‘manually’? You mentioned that in the plugin discussion but it isn’t clear to me at all which parts need to be done manually and via what interface (i.e., am I creating accounts in the WP front end and then running SQL commands on the WP database, or doing something in phpMyAdmin, or?) which is the reason I started a topic for it.
The file_exists() checks increase exponentially with each miss in the hierarchy when a file isn’t in the first/second/third position, etc… So depending on the configurations that other theme developers would choose to adopt for their needs, it may or may not be an issue.
All of the options you’ve mentioned are what I’d suggest. Since you have two sets of user tables (WordPress/bbPress) there’s no way to automate the merging of them. You’ll either need to do it manually, or pick one set over the other.
Either way you’ll need to spend some time manually finishing what the importer cannot.
Hello,
I would like to be able to move over to the bbpress 2.0 plugin. Unfortunately, a year ago when I created my forum, I chose to put it on a separate database from my WordPress database since there was no reason to integrate them.
Now it seems as if there is no path to bringing over a bbpress forum (with both users and posts) that is on its own database into a bbpress 2.0 plugin install, is this correct? Is there a method for me to get my separate-database bbpress install useable for import into the 2.0 plugin install or am I out of luck entirely? I have tried the following:
1. Doing a user import using the 2.0 plugin import tool (fails drastically, not surprisingly since it is not intended for that purpose)
2. Doing a forum import using the 2.0 plugin import tool (works great but all posts are anonymous)
3. Trying to do WordPress integration in bbpress to prepare to try #1 again (this just resulted in all posts in bbpress being set to anonymous and the keymaster account being removed despite having mapped the user roles, and no user accounts were added to WP in the process so I don’t quite know what happened there but I had a backup so it was no big deal).
One (very unattractive) option seems like it would be to somehow manually create all of the bbpress users in WP, and then try option 2 again, and then somehow manually assign all of the correct posters to the anonymous posts, but I don’t really have that kind of time to be honest. I guess I’d probably do it if it were the only way, since I don’t want to be permanently stuck with a legacy forum version and there are a couple of aspects of the plugin that prefer to the 1.0 implementation.
Anyway, I hope someone can give me some help, especially since I’m sure this is not an uncommon issue since there wasn’t a strong impetus to choose to use the same database previously.
Thank you!
