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?
Jaja: The plugin in the WordPress Plugin repository has not yet been updated. You can svn checkout it via this link: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/branches/plugin or click the download as zip archive link here.
Theoretically, it sounds easy. You set up a bbPress forum and let users register on it. Then when you setup a WP blog, make it use the bbPress tables and then integrate the cookies by the normal process. Never tried it practically.

Hi,
I have the following scenario: Members of my club is crying for a forum to offload our mailinglist. In the works is also a new club blog platform but that is going to take a while. So what I want to do is:
1. Install/Set up bbPress standalone.
2. Let users register
3. Use the bbPress forum
3. When the new WP based blog is good to go, Install WP and share the db with bbPress. The main thing here is that users should be able to continue using their credentials in WP too.
4. Use WP and bbPress in harmony happily ever after
From what I have gathered (reading docs and forum posts) this is at least theoretically possible. But is it plausible? Has anyone done it this way (bbPress first, then WP)? Please feel free to tell my why it is a really bad idea (if it is).
I always have the option to argue that the club should wait with the forum until the WP blog is up an running. But if it is possible I would like to start the forum asap.
All input is welcome
This is awesome. Can’t wait! Thanks.
Another question. Some of us run websites with big user databases ourselves. Is there an easy way to integrate external databases with BBpress?
I mean, something like this:
1. User registers
2. Data is put in MYDB
3. Same data is also put into BBPress DB (need to know exact tables, and other info such as cookie hashes or SHA1/MD5 principles for password etc)
4. When user logs in, I set my cookies etc, but also BBPress cookies
5. User feels that he has logged into my website (based on my cookies) and also BBPress (based on BBP cookies)
Is this easy to do? Tried searching for some instructions, but couldn’t find anything.
Thx

pkiula: In the yet-to-be-released bbPress 1.1 (standalone), that feature is built-in.

1. That’s why I said “also”. Which means I recognize that BBPress has a plugin system. But Vanilla and other such options exist.
2. I do not want the bloat of PHPBB etc. That’s why I come to BBPress.
You’re missing my point. If BBPress cannot give me absolutely effortless WordPress integration, then there’s no reason for me to bother with this premature software. Vanilla does all I need, and does it better.
However, if you can make WordPress integration seamless, the default, and open to most plugins (such as spam protection or text editing boxes, etc) then you have a fan.

BBPress has nothing else going for it other than the fact that it’s from the WordPress folks.
Nah.
1. Simplicity: Vanilla is top notch, and also has a plugin system.
Plugins
2. Comprehensiveness: Invision boards or PHPBB etc.
bbPress hasn’t been created to be a gargantuan monster (such as PhpBB.)
So. Why is it that BBPress is not just a full plugin to WordPress and therefore totally integrated with WordPress? If this is already being discussed (as I hope it is!) then when is this planned?
There’s a nifty sticky on the very top of the page: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-plugin-updates

I am interested too.
Subscribe to Comments should be a part of core. Simplicity and all is cool but come on, have at least some of the base features.
What’s up with the BBPress developers? What precisely are they adding to BBPress when the bloody thing looks exactly the same as 3 years ago!
