Thanks ya’ll! Once the plugin version moves into alpha or beta, let me know what I can do to help improve the documentation.
That PHPdoc helps a lot Gautam. I’ve also been using the PHP xRef as well. http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/nav.html?index.html

Just installed the latest version of the plugin on my local testserver. Unfortunately, my first impression was that it did not work at all since whatever I tried, WP would always redirect anything related to bbpress to the 404 / Page not found, regardless of which theme (default TwentyTen / bbpress Theme) was activated.
I noticed that turning off WP’s rewrite engine eventually did the trick, although I would not consider this to be a real solution. Maybe there’s something wrong with the url rewriting handled by bbpress. The base path to my WP in my setup is like ‘http://localhost/wptest/’.
OK, I have gotten the redirection working by adding the following to the start of the htaccess for the forums directory before the bbpress business:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forums/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/forums/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Do you think there is anything else I’ll need to do in order to get my forums and my main site picked up by Google as being the same domain? Thanks.

Hello,
My bbpress install seems to be unintentionally hurting my Google health a bit by having a different domain from the rest of my site, which it links back to a couple of times on every page due to its navigation. My site’s canonical domain is http://www.domain.com and I think that bbpress was installed at http://www.domain.com/forum (it was a while ago and I wouldn’t swear to this), but when I take a look with Webmaster Tools, Google picks it up as living at domain.com/forum and counts any links to other parts of my site from a bbpress forum page (such as navigation or an answer to a support question that recommends reading a particular page on the rest of the site) as being one of many heavily-repeated links from an outside site.
I have gone to the bbpress admin settings page and set the field “bbPress address (URL)” to the fully-qualified URL.
At this point I would like any requests for domain.com/forum/* to be 301-redirected to http://www.domain.com/forum/*. I have a working 301 redirect at the root level of my site that successfully does this to all other pages on the site, but it doesn’t get applied to the forum directory, presumably because it has its own htaccess with bbpress-specific settings. I tried adding the following to the bbpress htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
But this just causes requests for the forums to be redirected to the root page of my site.
I have checked into the bbpress config.php and there doesn’t seem to be anything in there which controls this.
Can someone help me out getting everything working/perceived by Google as being at the same domain and subdomain so my forum navigation that goes to the non-forum part of my site isn’t counted as vast numbers of repeated links from a different site?
Thank you very much.
Is there a solution for conversion the other way around?
I am using 1.1x. I was able to successfully convert to phpBB. You can see the converted forum here:
http://leftcoastlogic.com/forum/phpbb/
I have full admin access to this, and checked that the tables, topics, posts and users were all successfully converted to phpbb.
I then downloaded the phpbb-to-bbpress script from code.google.com (per other posts here):
http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/
Following instructions, I began the conversion and it stepped through the process. It appeared to have completed the “converting posts” step, although the last step had some strange text:
View post on imgur.com
I then proceeded to the next step, “convert users data”, and got this error message:
View post on imgur.com
I then tried to run the script a second time, and got this error message:
View post on imgur.com
So, I guess I’m not having much luck converting my phpBB forum to bbPress. Any suggestions?

This did not work for me. The first time I tried it, I got as far as “Convert Posts” then got this:
GENERAL ERROR
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]
Data too long for column ‘user_url’ at row 1 [1406]
I then tried again (having no idea what to do), and got this error message:
SQL ERROR
Duplicate entry ‘1’ for key ‘PRIMARY’ [1062] followed by a bunch of text that seems to replicate the key.

You can either use bbPress 0.9 with the Subscribe to Topic plugin or install the yet-to-be-released bbPress 1.1 alpha which has that feature built-in. The Subscribe to Topic Plugin by _ck_ doesn’t work with the current version of bbPress, i.e. 1.0.

The bbPress Trac and SVN repositories have moved.
Trac: http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org
SVN: http://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org
The old URL’s should redirect you to their new locations.
Hi there,
I have looked through many posts on this topic, but I can’t find an answer.
All I need to know is: is email notification now built into BBpress?
If not, which plugin definitively works for email notification?
I can’t get @thomasklaiber ‘s email notification plugin to work, and judging by the threads, the best bet is ‘subscribe by email’. That one shows above threads, but does nothing once selected.
Surely there is a way to follow topics by email. This has been asked for at least 4 years… is it just my theme?

Hi 
Nothing exists yet, but there is an approximate game-plan for the bbPress plugin once it’s released. We’ve tried to keep everything phpDoc’ed in the plugin, so step one will be getting developers to reference that + trac. Step two will be getting bbPress.org to use the plugin version of bbPress, and then use a multisite instance of WordPress to manage the individual languages and codex. That’s probably a few months out though, realistically.

I’m new to bbPress, but a longtime WordPress developer. One of my favorite things about WordPress is the extensive Codex and documentation of the core functions. My question is two-fold.
First, does any documentation of the built-in functions exist? Second, how can I contribute to the documentation? I know the plugin version is about to go into Alpha release, so perhaps I’m better off contributing when that comes out?
