Oh ok Understood. See I dont use it as a plugin but as a stand alone application. thats where my questions came from in terms of integrating some of the plugins into the bbpress app
I’ve tried that several times. I’m taking a break from it for a few days and then I’ll see if I can tackle it head on. Its obviously something wrong with my setup.
Basically you´re saying that BBPress is over after 1.1 as a standalone product?
What I want to know is: Will I be able to carry my current installation over to the new plugin version? With all users and posts intact?

Things like PM’s are more BuddyPress territory. Image uploading is built into WordPress, so that can be turned on via a plugin to the bbPress plugin pretty easily.
The bbPress documentation will be revamped along side the plugin launch.

@willabee – This is fixed now. Subforums were still defaulting to 5 instead of adhering to the setting.
@ch8rt – How about removing the plugin entirely, and reinstalling it?
@alanchrishughes – Development has sped up in the past 2 months, and we’ve been able to get a lot more features in as a result.
Ahh yes reading through the trac i see you have been doing a lot of work, good work and keep it up. I am wondering though why a lot of these plugins out there weren’t just built in to bbpress?
For example, pms and uploading of images. I understand that the system is to be keep as light as possible….but so is WordPress and look at the amount of features it has.
I am also wondering about the documentation and when that will be re-vamped.

P.S – the forum recount procedures are done, tested, and going through optimizing now. So one of the final bits before an official alpha on the plugin side is near completion.

Only recently has anyone stepped up to give bbPress any dedicated attention. Namely, me. 
Also consider that bbPress as a project is pretty much feature frozen. There isn’t anything more to add to it. There will be a 1.1 soon with a few extras, and that’s it for the stand-alone version aside from maintenance as needed.
A lot of this is already on the forums in several places.

Hi there…
I am having some trouble with my BBPress Install located here:
http://forum.acesonline.net/
I have posted previously about this but have not received a reply w/a solution. Here are my previous posts:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-posts-page-not-found?replies=5#post-82659
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-cannot-be-found
Please PLEASE help? It has been going on several months without a resolution and I would really like to see this work. Any help/suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks!
~The bbpress application was available through my hosting package and so I installed from cpanel. Adding a theme was straightforward too after reading through this forum. However thereafter it got a bit weird.
I was surprised that you cannot upload or link an avatar icon but I found the plugin to do that here. I spent hours trying to follow the seemingly simply directions to get it installed but to no avail. After unzipping it, it looks like this:
<AVATAR-UPLOAD.0.8.3>
<AVATAR-UPLOAD>
bb-avatar-upload.php
identicon.php
readme.txt
unsharpmask.php
<ADDITIONAL-FILES>
avatar-upload.php
<AVATARS>
default.png
<MY-TEMPLATES>
avatar.php
With just seven files to handle, how can it be so complicated to find out where to put these files. The guides I have read seem to conflict.
I found the same thing with the PM plugin, there is not much clear guidance as to where the files actually go.
Has anyone got the avatar pic plugin working and can spare a few minutes to tell me where to put these, I would be grateful. My bbpress structure looks like this:
<BBPRESS>
<BB-ADMIN>
<AVATARS>
default.png
<BB-INCLUDES>
<BB-PLUGINS>
bb-avatar-upload.php
<BB-TEMPLATES>
<TRIPRESS> (<—theme)
<MY-LANGUAGES>
<MY-PLUGINS>
avatar-upload.php
identicon.php
unsharpmask.php
Many thanks to anyone who can take a look at this and instantly can see what I have done wrong.
In terms of plugin development and general development. I see the trac states some one has been working very hard on bbpress but that were also 10-11 months behind on a simple release?
–Wasn’t sure where this was suppose to go.
If bbPress can connect, this is GoDaddy related. I would submit a ticket to them saying the MySQL server keeps going away and what can they do to fix it.

I am hosting bbPress on my GoDaddy host, as a subfolder (and subdomain) of my root directory. I had some issues getting it installed correctly because I continually received a “Error: Could not establish a database connection.” I kept having to delete the bb-config.php file and re-start again, and eventually it worked. No idea why it didn’t before.
Now, you can access my forum at http://bbpress.journeysbysteve.com. Periodically (quite frequently) on the public side and the admin side clicking on something will result in the same database connection error screen. However, reloading the page (sometimes multiple times) resolves whatever threw up the error and things work again. Until the next error screen, that is.
Any idea what I can do to stop this error from popping up? Is it something with the software? With GoDaddy? With me?
Any help is appreciated!
Okay so my forum is androidtalk.us and I was to have a large amount of categories (one for each phone and each phone will have sub-categories), but I have noticed that a large amount of sub-categories does not play nice with the user’s scrolling experience with bbPress. Is there some sort of plugin that I could install to make it so all my sub-categories are collapsed and they can expand them to their own will?
PS: Is there a way to do this with the default theme?
“Sign in with Twitter” option/plugin would be amazing.
Is there a plugin that would allow to integrate certain posts from WordPress and post them automatically in the forums as well?
“what is left to do before the soft October 15 deadline”
I’ve tried to install ReCAPTCHA plugin but bbpress can not block spam registration from bad guy.
How to completely change registor.php file ?
@Willabee
Increase the forums per page option and they would show up.
@ch8rt
Sorry, but I really don’t have any idea.
