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?

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!

@willabee – Don’t move any files anywhere. Just activate bbPress and see how it fits on your site. If it doesn’t, use the bbp-twentyten theme. It puts itself in your list of available themes even though it’s in the plugins folder
@Rick Lewis – I’ll post a new topic tonight with instructions on how to test.
I need to install two separate forums, each on a different page of a WordPress site. One forum page is private for members and people must be registered in order to see the posts, or to create a post. The other forum, on a different page, is public to read, but must be registered to create a post. Is this possible (and hopefully easy) with bbPress?
been following this for sometime as I am in the midst of converting a vbulletin site over to wordpress/buddypress. The forums are a huge part of that and I was told to look into bbpress. Initially I wasn’t to happy but it seemed like the better option based on the relationship between all the top people involved in all the WP, BP, BB family. I did actually find a way to get the users and data over to bbpress on a test site. I am about to look into that again for the new site beings we are now ready to get that open to the public. Before I do that though, I am curious as to how the stand alone will integrate into the plug in. I am reading things in this thread and see mention that is might not be ready as of yet?
Also, how do I get the plugin itself to test out? I see mention of it being uploaded on wordpress repository??? Is that not the main area there?
Tried searching and only some other thing came up.
Please post a link if it is something everyone can test out as it would be helpful for the development of my site.
Thanks.
Good to see that the plugin is progressing so fast now.
To catch up, the bbpress files now can be placed within the theme folder? And if so, what files go in there?
Keep up the great work JJJ and Gautum.

Can you please verify that you can’t go to this url – https://bbpress.org/plugins/forum/requests when you’re logged in with WP.org user/pass?

Erlend: As BuddyPress installs bbPress standalone with only a few tweaks, I think it would be very much possible to convert the BuddyPress bbPress forums too. Just point it to its directory.

Hi admins, I was trying to add a plugin on bbpress (the plugin’s name is WangGuard), I logged in with my WordPress.org user/pass but the request form didn’t show up.
I read the forums and saw this happen some time ago, but without a resolution.
Before I gave up I signup for an account on bbpress.org, sign in and the request form was finally displayed.
The problem (I think) is that this form is not showing when you login with your WordPress.org credentials, that was my case tho.
Hope this help!
chrisbrocklesby: There was a fix posted earlier in this thread about that (which I don’t actually remember and it’s hard to locate that). It happens when you upgrade from an old version of bbPress plugin. If you could nuke the whole dev site and install it again, then it should start working again for you.
