Hello I just installed bbpress and I dont know where to add new users. We want to use this as a private forum, with no registration process at all, so I would need to have total access to manage users.
anmari thank you for contributing that line of code, I’m very thankful I happen to find this. Thank you thank you!
They can be installed in the same database.
Just like WordPress, bbPress has its own theme functionality so you will have the same looking site if you have a similar theme for both of them or you can customize the bbPress theme to match your WordPress one by deep integration – http://www.wpwebhost.com/make-bbpress-theme-match-with-wordpress-by-deep-integration/

I have an existing WordPress site, and started looking into adding bbPress to it. I see that they can be integrated, but am unclear on whether the bbPress needs its own domain for installation. Will the WordPress and bbPress site be like two interlinked sites, or more like one site?
I installed everything as per instructions and much help from various sources.
It all seemed to work for a moment, but then I logged out and back in to make sure it was all okay, but once I logged in the ADMIN link was gone and I cannot figure out how to get back to the admin section to access the settings and stuff.
Does anyone have any ideas?
have the latest bbpress and wanted to know how to limit the display of the thread titles so it will be something like this
this is a test of a thread title an…
Doesn’t bbp_get_user_topics_started( $bp->displayed_user->id ); work?
I have it working with bbp_has_topics(array(‘author’ => $bp->displayed_user->id)) that’s not the problem. The problem is I can’t get it to work with bbp_get_user_topics_started() because it doesn’t seem to return the query.
Are you sure it’s id and not ID? (in BuddyPress, because I think it should be ID)
The BuddyPress profile, that’s why I’m using $bp->displayed_user->id not $bbp->displayed_user->ID
bbp_get_displayed_user_id() echoes the value of $bbp->displayed_user->ID, so if you’re using the variable, you can use the function.
Which page are you on then?
That would only work is I were on the BBPress profile for the user.
You may want to use bbp_get_displayed_user_id() function.
is that id correct, and has that id (/user) created any topics?
I passed it $bp->displayed_user->id
depending on when that function is used you may need to pass it the $user_id
Oh, ok. I’ll give it a go.
Update: My only problem now is that bbp_get_user_topics_started() doesn’t seem to return a query at all.
@Ryan Gannon
You *can* use bbp_has_topics(). Use the same args that you use in WP_Query->query().
I was hoping there’d be a way of using bbp_has_topics() like in loop-bbp_topics.php.
Use wordpress function query_posts().
Then give it the parameters of author_name and post_type.

Any major updates planned soon? Want to launch a site with this plugin end of the month, so would like it if I can build in the latest and greatest. Keep it up. ^^
