I want to hire an expert to import my PhpBB forum and other contents from a PHP/MS SQL based website into bbPress and integrate with WordPress.
If you are interested please respond to this thread.
Thanks in advance.
I don’t know what’s the policies of Automattic regarding usernames like facebook
http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=15109
So, can I get a username which is already registered in bbPress user database?
Someone register this username 2 years back, but he/she did not active since then, not even make a single post in bbpress or wordPress suppport or blog ( like desired-username.wordpress.com)
@Moderators / @Admin
So can I get this inactive/useless username.
I don’t want to disclose this username right now. First I want to know its feasibility.
Is it possible or not? Thanks,
With Regards
Pagal
Bump to remind people with larger bbPress forums to always back up first.
bbPress’s routine to merge are badly designed (so are the recount functions).
And never use the move feature to just rename a forum, you risk losing all posts in the original forum.
You didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. Leave it. Have fun on your ride.
I’m on bbpress 1.1-r2537 and adding tags in topics displays this error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-taxonomy.php on line 1789
Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in [path]/bb-includes/functions.bb-formatting.php on line 241
Please note I’ve substituted the actual file path with [path].
Sometimes only the 2nd error is displayed, sometimes both. I believe this problem was introduced in 1.1-r2530 because that revision changed class.wp-taxonomy.php.
The tags don’t update through AJAX, but after refreshing the page, the new tag does show.
Yes I’ve followed that but I still am unable to get the title, the header menus or even the footer to appear on the page. You can check it out here. If you look at the main website you will see the header menu that should appear. I’ve made the adjustments to header.php as well as footer.php and the theme does change, it simply doesn’t add the title or the menu.
In the end we’re all “end users”. It all depends on where you start and where you want to finish. As good as it is and as grateful as I am for it, your tutorial did not tell me exactly what I needed to know in a way that I could understand so that bbPress and WordPress worked in my situation. If it had I would not have come here. We’re all getting and giving “techhow” with some end in view.
This is a good place and time to give my thanks to the developers of WordPress and bbPress! I’m really amazed at their “techhow” and grateful for their willingness to share it.
By the way, I found the tutorial at wpbbpthemes very helpful as well. (I actually started with it.) Thanks to the author!
But it’s a lot more easy, when you add a page in WP will it automatically appear in the header of bbPress…
But on slower hosts will it slow down a lot your site.
You will need to do some stuff in the WordPress header.php file.
Take a look here – http://www.wpwebhost.com/make-bbpress-theme-match-with-wordpress-by-deep-integration/ (last section – WordPress theme editing)
You can do that with deep integration by what MathiasB suggested or how your theme handles it. wp_page_menu or wp_list_pages()

Better one – Copy over the html of navigation to bbPress side. Its not worth using deep integration just for this alone.
Its very much similar to a WordPress plugin. Get started with those. Hope that helps 
obviously you would need to deep integrate it with WordPress to use a WordPress function on bbPress side.

Its better if you just copy the menu html over to bbPress theme. How much do you edit navigation anyway.

subj, some simple about “creating first plugin”
etc making new field on topic post screen or something
Ok so I’ve got my instance running on Deep Integration but I’ve got a few errors. For one, the headers call but no title displays. Also, I am unable to set how the sidebar is registered. Any thoughts or any help?
Just enable WordPress functions in bbPress and paste this in your header:
<?php wp_page_menu(); ?>
If you wanna have a homelink:
<?php wp_page_menu('show_home=Home'); ?>
Make changes in your bb-styles.css itself and if it conflicts with any of the WP side elements then rename them and then do it.
There is no need of specific theme integrating tutorial, it can be done exactly by following my tutorial. If that didn’t help, yours won’t too. It requires some techhow to deal with that. It wasn’t for end users anyway.
you can replicate the same code for menu on bbPress side and it should work fine.
Regarding conflicts, it was never made to work like that (Deep integration) and if there is some conflict you can only fix it yourself else you are out of luck.
The “deep integration” code still breaks my site, but the link to the style sheet in header.php wasn’t working because I had bb-styles.php in the wrong place.
Also I’m loading WordPress from wp-blog-header.php instead of wp-load.php.
The only thing that remains is to figure out how to make changes to the bbPress pages without making changes to the whole site since it’s calling two style sheets. I’ve spent no small amount of time with “inspect element” and “firebug” in Google Chrome trying to find the styles I want to change on the bbPress pages. You could tell me in short order I’m sure how to make the changes I want. But as I said, I wanted to get all of the kinks worked out before I go public with it.
When I get it all figured out I’m thinking I’ll publish the info specific to integrating Twentyten and Kakumei (for those of us unambitious, ignorant folks who don’t have the where with all to do something original). I assume that you won’t mind me referencing your tutorial? No need to reinvent the wheel!
Thanks again for your tutorial, your interest and your help!
I ask you another thing, there is a way for put a menu of wordpress (then with wp_list_page() ) pages on bbpress forum without insert:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’); ??
if I do the deep integration putting this string on my bb-config a plugin go in conflict…
ay idea?
Is better then i’m open a new topic?

You will need to fix file permissions for them to work. Take a look at this – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-my-templates-my-plugins-folder-not-working-bbpress/
Also for your handy reference, I share my bbPress resource page with you – http://blog.ashfame.com/bbpress/
Let me know if you are stuck with anything again. I will be happy to help you out
Use Firebug (Firefox addon)or simplest(ugliest) View Page Source option.
P.S. We are at bbPress support forums and not at a web development one
