Thank you very much for this script, I’ve been trying to used it, but I get the following error:
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
Data too long for column 'topic_poster_name' at row 1 [1406]
Any ideas?
I’m not an expert, but I’m doing my best. Thanks!
I don’t think bozo and Akismet are hooked up at all.
The bozo feature was never particularly well implemented. I was trying to find a post by sambauers where he said as much.
I wrote this 3 years ago:

Regarding a plugin, I’m not sure. Maybe someone else will post about it.
_ck_, oh, I get it. You aren’t removing the login name and replacing it with the account email, you are just allowing users to log on using their email address.
So during registration users still need to provide a login name, and the path to their profile will always contain that login name.
Hmmm. I’m not sure whether that makes things easier or more complicated for the user.
That is guatam’s creation, you might ask on the plugin page or maybe here:

Or maybe he’ll see this topic and can help.
Don’t completely follow the question but the admin structure as far as actions and filters is very similar for 1.0 compared to 0.9 but the CSS is a little different.
Actually BuddyPress is doing the wrong thing. In bbPress:
forum/topic/topic-name/ redirects to forum/topic/topic-name
so there are no duplicated content, in BuddyPress:
forum/topic/topic-name/ and forum/topic/topic-name point to the same content which is a very bad thing.
Building admin panels for themes and plugins are the same for 0.9v?
lol Ben, that works for 1.x but not 0.9
in 0.9 you need this https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/email-login/
@Greg part of the workaround is to only perform the display name change on functions that do direct output themselves (the functions with echo) the internal functions that return strings should not be changed.
In reality the best way to approach it might be to only apply it on the portions of the topic page and profile page that show the names.
It’s not super simple but it can be done.
I just noticed that the wiki page was deleted for a SECOND time in February 2010 (originally deleted in July 2008)
This time I can’t even find an archive of the 2009 version.
As Nightgunner pointed out, Blanket Fort? No problem. bbPress? problem.

Hello,
Not really sure if this would be the best place to ask, but I wondered why the forum URL dir structure was been changed/removed compared to about all other Automattic products?
Ie. the bbPress URL structure looks like this: “http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/taking-a-look-at-bbpress-09”
whilst the BuddyPress URL structure looks like: “http://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/some-basic-questions/”
Note the last “/”
Best regards,
Cor
$bb->email_login = true;
There you go, instant feature!
That sounds very useful – look forward to seeing it.
I also like the login with email address option. Trade off there is that it becomes harder to switch the email address associated with the account. Probably a good trade though.
_ck_, do you remember how your plugin handled the paths where WP/BBP currently uses the login name? For example, the “_ck_” in…
“https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/_ck_”
By the way, I don’t think I released it yet but should by the end of the month, just have to write a “readme.txt” – I have a “rename user” plugin for bbPress to change user_login across the system.
It even supports multiple bbpress and wordpress systems attached to the same user db table and will fix all topics and wp comments.
So, not meant for constant username changes, but good for occasional fixes. Also detects existing username collisions.
@Dennis, good idea – though note bbPress 0.9 requires a plugin for login-by-email-address support (I think I wrote one, can’t remember).
Non-plugin bbPress development is going to continue until we have a perfect importer so people will be able to bring their content out of the legacy codebase.
So, will BBXF finally have some use?
I’ve tried another integration with no “www”, it works 50%.
Now I just can’t access my bb-admin and not able to logout from wp admin 
,
I’ve installed _ck_ plugin fixed admin access, but its not working in this situation. I’ve find other ways from bbPress Search but still not solved. any idea?

Simply I love this statement!!
@ Matt Mullenweg, with this perfect importer, will we able to switch from other channels like vBulletin, phpbb, ip board? did you ever think about it? Any Plan?
My preferred solution: Login with an email address, and give the site administrator the option of allowing users to change their Display Name. The distinction between usernames and Display Names then ceases to exist. Nobody forgets an email address either.
Thanks r-a-y for the compliments, and thanks chrishajer for resuscitating the post!
One other thing… I was thinking of leveraging the XMLRPC support to enable publishing of posts from an iPhone app.
I guess I would have to find a different way to do this in 0.9.
I NEVER write admin pages for my own plugins, but rather use a simple config file.
Same.
And I think that if I went to 0.9 I would want to also get out of deep integration to get all of the perf benefits.
It depends on what you need deep integration for. If it’s just to access a few WP functions, might be best to write your own functions that do the same thing in bbPress.

The admin page, like everyone has said, could easily be themed.
Please make better titles when asking for help.
Make them say something specific about the nature of the problem.
Also please state what version of bbPress you are using and what plugins.
Optionally try tagging your topic with some simple words you think might be relevant and then check those tags to see if you can find something similar.
We can always remove tags that aren’t relevant, don’t be afraid to try them.
Thank you.
Even 0.9 caches all user data, it’s not an issue.
0.9 is far more efficient than 1.x
If you don’t see 0.9 doing that, I must be using a mini-plugin to do it.
The Display Name will be “sucked in” along with all the userdata.
You can write a little plugin that when the user name is requested, it first checks to see if the display name is set and return that.
In fact I think there was an early plugin that did this for admin with 0.9, it had some issues but I remember I figured out some workaround. Vague memory now, it would have to be searched for.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/
Be sure to read all the comments to find the last working version.
There are a lot of new tricks I’ve figured out over the years which would make such a plugin much better now, like not activating the filter until you are already inside the bbPress templates (ie. ‘bb_head’) so that the plugin does not step on internals like replacing user_login with the display name for urls, etc.
