I just started wordpress website, and found that forum is not satisfactory.
If I want to make forum made by bbpress in my website, Do I need bbpress website first, and then integrate? Or is there any way to do it without setting up bbpress website?
1) Grab the latest version of the bbPress .pot: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/1.0.2/bbpress.pot
2) Open it with a gettext editor, POEdit is a good one: http://www.poedit.net/
3) Translate it
bbPress supports rtl without problems as well as UTF-8.

As said I still don’t understand why the md5(‘mypass’) does not match the one in the table
If you open phpmyadmin, you choose MD5 and you select a new password the you can login without problems. Once you logged in bbPress generate a salt and change the password stored in the database. See file class.passwordhash.php line 119.

I was finally able to read up on subversion, find a client and install 1.1. Last night.
For future reference to those who find this:
To install the development trunk:
1) Go get a subversion client. For your purposes this is like an FTP or web browser client that lets you download “special” file types. There are many clients out there. All you need to be able to do is “check out” things. Almost all the free ones will let you do this. I used svnX for mac.
2) Now you need to find the address of the current BBPress trunk. They do try their best to make it hard for newbies who just want the damn fiels but you can find the address here:
Download
See the line that says “vn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/”
You do not need all of that. All you need to do is tell your subversion client that the “repository” is at “http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/”. In the same way you would give a web browser the address of a page where you were going to download a file.
3) “check out” a copy of the trunk. check out is subversion speak for “download”. There are reasons why for development purposed they say “check out” but you don’t care about that.
4) You will have to tell it where to download the file. In subversion speak you tell it where to put your “working copy”. Again there are reasons for this but you don’t care you just want the damn files.
5) Now you have a folder with the newest version of BBPress. The one that is far more stable than the current “release” and the one everyone on the forum will tell you to go “get” if you have any complaints about the current “release”.
They will not tell you how to do this. That would be easy (see above). Nor will they write a simple script that will make the trunk available as a simple .zip file that a normal person could download. Again, that sort of thing would just be two damn simple.

I made a blog post on how I did the sitemap using the existing plugin:
How to create a Google XML Sitemap bbPress
It works for me

The MD5 function (SHA, AES et similia) isn’t a encryption function but a “one-way” cryptographic hash function. An encryption function takes a plaintext (a discrete sequence of bytes), a password and encrypt the text creating another sequence of bytes called cipher text. The same function can be used (with some changes) to transform back the cipher text to plain text.
A cryptographic hash function instead creates a checksum that is a fixed-size string. It’s obviously a one-way process and bbPress, as well as any other software the stores password, use it to check if a password is valid.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_software
There are a lot of software that also store all the passwords (encrypted or not) in the database but it’s a potential security issue cause an attacker that gains temporary access to the data can retrieve all the passwords. In bbPress it’s “impossible.” I used the quotes cause MD5 is a very old hash function and it has been demostrated to be vulnerable to cryptanalysis.

@Gautam: right. So weird… If you have the default Permalinks and you change them it doesn’t work. But if you save again it does 
I guess the plugin will flush it itself in the future, right?
Ok, you need to actually go to the Permalinks page and press the Save Changes button to flush the rewrite rules.
Just registered a project on LaunchPad. Browser the source for index.php and tell me what you think 
https://launchpad.net/bbpress-mobile

@alexvorn2 No but like @Gautam said I thought was not necesary
@quicoto did you add the code
add_filter(‘init’,’flushRules’);
function flushRules(){
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}
in the bbp-functions.php ?
@Gautam @alexvorn2 Yup. I just changed the permalinks to /%postname%/ and still giving me a 404 error.
http://www.domain.com/forum/123-2/
@Gautam yeap, I like to see a Month and name permalink instead of the Default, by Default it’s ok but if I choose other, without the code I mentioned in the previous message it doesn’t work.
@alexvorn2
You just need to go to Permalinks page after activating the plugin to flush the rewrite rules.
hi everybody!
I downloaded the pre-alpha bbPress plugin and it doesn’t work 
I added some codes to bbpres-functions to make it work:
add_filter(‘init’,’flushRules’);
function flushRules(){
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}
and then I realized that the plugin is useless at this stage )))
ugh. this is tough.

There’s some bugs in bbPress. In some places it treats user_logins case sensitively, and in others case insensitively (and sometimes it depends on your DB’s collation).

Has anyone figured out how to include bbpress forum posts when using the WordPress site’s search form?
I migrated some users to bbPress and they are telling me that they get the following error when trying to login: User does not exist.
It turns out bbPress user IDs are case sensitive, so if the ID in the database is
Tipperary and the user types tipperary, it will not work.
Any way to circumvent this?
