bbPress in Iframe? that’s really strange 
I’ve never heard about it before.
Can you please mention your forums link here?
It will be easy to find the problem.
Thanks,

Hello, I have integrated bbPress in an iframe and looks perfect to be honest. 
My only problem is being that The theme doesnt look good out of the frame but when someone registers for an account it will send them to the actual forum location.
I was wondering if there was some way that instead of the email telling them the actual installation path it would direct them to the page on my WP I have the frame at or not even have that at all.
I’m open for any solution. Thank you.
I saw ashame’s suggestion, but I’m afraid I don’t know enough about bbpress to manage that. I’m not opposed to paying someone to get this problem solved.
There was things I could have done much better
for sure man. Mass email = 99.998% flagged as spam.
The only way to avoid been flagged as spam is to send the notifications into batches that by default are no more than 50 addresses per email like what happens in the “Mass Email” functionality of phpBB. (addendum: a lot of hosts allow you to only send X email per hour.)
I have built a lot of newsletter-like server-side software that sends the newsletter out to X of them every Y minutes using a cron job, with X and Y adjusted from host to host.
Right now there isn’t a plugin that provide this functionality but it can be easily achieved as ashfame suggested but you need some PHP+bbPress knowledge to code what you want.
Yes it was, and still is stupid.
There was things I could have done much better, but the absolute best thing, would be if you could do this with BBPress.
Oh ok. thanks for all your help
That is a question for BuddyPress then. The version of bbPress they included in BuddyPress is not really anything like bbPress any more. There are enough differences that you will have better luck resolving your issue at the BuddyPress forums.

It has bbpress integration in buddypress according to the admin panel
thanks

You say “groups”: are you running the forums that were installed with BuddyPress?
bbPress has forums and sub-forums. Just edit the front-page.php template file.
I am looking to have my bbpress forum mimic how a vbulletin forum works from a management standpoint.
I would like to be able to set main categories with sub headings underneath. Then within each sub category or just the main category, users can create threads.
Right now users can just create threads that must sync with a group in order for it to show up.
So I would like to be able to do something like this http://www.3si.org/forum
thanks
@Kralletown this search will also useful for you.

Happy Searching.

Please do it then. I got spamblocked for having sent out a mass email to all my members.
A couple of months ago I wrote:
“I mean that you will likely be banned. You should hire an email marketing service. “
and then you replied:
“Thats the stupidest advice I have gotten in all of 2010. “
It seems that my advice wasn’t that stupid.
Hi Kralletown,
You will lose some data in the transfer (attatchemnts as I recall was a biggie for some folks), but in theory none of the important data.
It also depends on how much you want to integrate with WordPress whether this is a good idea or not.
I’d loook at:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release
A phpBB to bbPress database converter
Good luck
Hello.
I searched the forum for an answer, but I couldn’t find any up-to-date answer to my question. I’m doing a website for a mate who has a phpBB-forum which I’d like to integrate with a WordPress theme – and my first choice would be to import everything into bbPress. Is this possible without losing any information?
Thanks in advance,
Kralle
Who knows, its not like we get told anything, we just give up our time trying to help and answer support requests – and every 6 months Matt turns up and tells us we should have known everything all along ( usually, by Magic or telepathy, i guess we’re meant to know which ;-] ).
You may like to see the official announcement by jjj on BuddyPress blog – https://buddypress.org/2010/08/buddypress-and-bbpress-the-future/
I spotted this blogpost from WPMU.org in my RSS-feed today.
“bbPress 1.2 (the plugin) is said to be stable enough to start testing as soon as September 15 and the full release will most likely coincide with that of BuddyPress 1.3.”

Is there any chance that will happen?
I’m a big fan of gremlins (well of Mogwai anyway)
Just real happy it’s working for you.

OK, you’re not going to believe this….
Everything is working perfectly again!
I didn’t look at the forum all day and just saw your list of questions and registered a new user successfully on bbPress to see if it could be done.
When I got in there as a new user, I was showing as “Member” and when I looked at one of the main forums and the posts there, all the other users were showing as members too.
So I quickly logged out and logged back in as the keymaster and everything is right back where it was – admin link, comment boxes and all!
I’m going to get some of my students to try logging in and make sure it’s working for them too.
(Don’t know if you go in for this stuff, but I actually did some energy work this afternoon and sent it to the forum. That’s the only explanation I have for why it’s working again) = >
Otherwise, it can only be gremlins.
If my students are back up and running, I’ll come back and resolve this thread. Thanks everyone for your help.
This may not be the same issue at all, but I thought it best to share just in case. I’ve experienced a similar incident to Susan’s when I first setup the User database sharing in the integration area. For the User database table prefix option, I had put in the prefix used with my WordPress install. As soon as I saved changes, I was logged out and could not log back in again until I went into the bb_meta table, found it under a meta_value field and deleted the prefix from that field. That immediately fixed my issue.
I’m running bbpress 1.0.2 for a small group. I’ve been asked to make it so that all current and future users are automatically subscribed to everything, and would have to unsubscribe from anything they didn’t want to receive notification of. I’m using the plugin Subscribe to Topic Version 0.0.6 by _ck_ to manage subscribing now, which would allow them to unsubscribe, but I’m looking for a way to make it so that all exiting users are subbed to everything and for any new users to be subbed to everything when they are added. Any ideas would be appreciated.
2) – no, bbPress is not a WordPress plugin. It should be inside a folder which is inside your WordPress installation. So, if your WordPress is at
/var/www/wordpress/
your bbPress will be at something like
/var/www/wordpress/forums/ where the word “forums” will be part of your URL. If your WordPress site is http://www.example.com, then your bbPress installation will be at http://www.example.com/forums/ if you called the folder “forums” as I did above.
3) create the folder my-languages at the same level as bb-templates, bb-plugins, my-templates, my-plugins. All those folders should have permissions of 755.
Step two is your biggest problem right now. You don’t activate it like a WordPress plugin because it’s not one. It has a separate installer. It doesn’t even require WordPress.
Hi, i have some questions about installation. I am very new @ WP, but still.
1. Download bbPress from the download page – Completed
2. Upload the uncompressed files to your server – Folder wp-content/plugins? (completed)
3. Optionally upload language files to “my-languages” – Where should i create this dir?
4. Visit the intended URL of the bbPress site
5. You will be greeted with the bbPress installer
6. Follow the instructions in the installer
7. Visit “Settings” in the admin area to customise your installation
8. If you have any questions, ask in the forums
At the moiment i tried the installation through the standart module install, and i got an error, about wrong header or smth. I would appreciate any help my problem. Thank u
