Good morning,
i’m planning to move my existing wp 3.1.1 network to a multisite installation, while installing a bbpress forum for them;
the idea is to have the following domain mapping:
1. blog1.mydomain
2. blog2.mydomain
3. blog3.mydomain
….
x. forum.mydomain (it could be like a new ad-hoc ‘fake’ blog, i guess)
the point is: can i share users and users profile between all subdomains? i know that multisite wp allow this, but what about that _including_ the forum blog?
before moving in i prefer to be sure it is possible 
tnx in advance for help,
gabriele
Kinda. I’m having issues with User Role Maps not working. But other than that yes. It works fine.
If you have AIM, leave it and I’ll try to help in anyway I can.

I guess I messed it during install, but my site’s name is New BBPress Site with the first forum named what I wanted the site named.
How can I change it without re-install? I couldn’t find it in the admin panel.
TY
I had the same problem. I found a couple of other posts via Google that lead me to the answer. You need to exclude bbPress from being processed by WP Super Cache. This can be done through a configuration setting within WP Super Cache.
> WordPress Dashboard
> Settings
> WP Super Cache
> Advanced tab
> Scroll down to “Accepted Filenames & Rejected URI’s”
> Add here strings (not a filename) …
I found the following entries in that text box:
wp-.*.php
index.php
I added:
/forums/
(My bbPress application is installed under my WordPress directory in the /forums sub-directory).
Now all URL’s that include the string “/forums/” are ignored in terms of caching.

Hello everyone!
I have released the RC 1 of WordPress to bbPress Converter Script. What it does is migrates all your users, converts categories to forums, articles to topics and comments to posts. Currently, it just doesn’t change image shortcodes to image urls and doesn’t preserve the forum hierarchy.
To use it, download it, put it on your server, edit the script and change the options to appropriate values before the Stop Editing Here part.
I am soon planning to release a bbPress standalone to plugin converter script if someone doesn’t beat me to it.

Thanks!

I am totally new to this and need some help to set up localhost to try out bbpress.
I have both xampp and bbPress on my PC but have no idea as to what to do next.
Any simplified help for a non techie ?
I’ve tried all that already actually (copying the data between the two config files and setting up “bbPress integration” plugin).
Thanks for the suggestions though.
Does this mean you’ve managed to get it working successfully with WordPress 3.1.1?

I only see:
“Oh dear!
bbPress is already installed.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?”
And when I look at your website, your forums seem to be running fine.

my wpmu is conviced that
mydomain.com/forums is someone who wants to register with my domain. I added forums in the site admin -> options -> exclude the following names. However, this is only causing this message:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /Users/mynick/Sites/wp-content/themes/home/header.php:5) in /Users/mynick/Sites/wp-signup.php on line 347
anyidea anyone!?!?!?
They were working fine up until i added
require_once(“../wp-config.php”)
I installed bbpress the other day, I then found that when i tried to edit the theme I got error messages, so I reuploaded bbpress, and now i’ve got error messages at the top, http://technomaniacs.co.uk/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php, take a look for yourself. The code is in white at the top so you’ll have to highlight it to read it. Also, when i installed the first time i think these error messages where there then.
How do i fix this?
thanks
So I have a fresh install of WordPress and bbPress(latest stable versions)
Integration is perfect! Admin can login and out on both sides with the same login. Can post, etc etc.
I created another user to test the role map. I changed the Subscriber/Inactive role in WP to Contributor/Member. Still it did not change in bbPress.
…I had hoped zaerl was right about it being BuddyPress. It apparently is not BuddyPress causing the problem. Can anyone help?

So I started from scratch, and it seems they were never working. I don’t understand how Buddypress can defunk the role mapping? I don’t even really know if thats what the issue is. I’m going to start over again and do it without buddypress.
I only wanted Buddypress for the rich profiles and activity stream.

I had that issue, and I had to manually paste the data between the config.php files. >.> Also, integrating the two well after actually installation was something I had to do aswell.
And there is a plugin you should look for in WP, it’s called “bbPress integration” and it tells you whats needed in your config file to share cookies.

The problem with the Global-Forum plugin, is not everyone has the spare cash.

Hi,
I’m trying to integrate bbPress 1.03 into WordPress 3.1.1. I’ve followed all the instructions but I can’t seem to get the cookie integration to work. Before I hack away at it I thought it would be worth asking whether this is a known issue?
Thanks.
