you may need to disable the cache for the forum – try emailing Donncha about your wp-super cache issues (I think that one is his). Or post on the WP forums, he’s pretty good at answering queries.
Tested.
Will not work with W3 Total Cache either. Shame. Any other good cache plugins?
Feel free to try W3 Total Cache?
Well, I’m not sure where to report this, but I found a bug with bbpress deep integration with wordpress when the wp-super cache wordpress plugin is installed and activated. When this happens, the bbpress forum will return the dreaded white screen of death. Just deactivate wp-super cache and deep integration will work fine again.
Hope this helps someone out. Moderators, please feel free to move this thread if it’s in the wrong place. Thanks!
@ chrishajer I really like your opinion, Thanks
@ kevinjohngallagher thanks for your huge participation,
infact the Project Lead left 4 months ago when a moderator dared ask him a question.
but I think its not a big deal if someone have asked a question to leader about bbPrees project.
Second, Its my suggestion that bbPress standalone software should remain alive after bbPress plugins availability, because who loves standalone they can use it. and those people who want to use plugin then they can use it from worpdress plugin’s directory.
@psycheangels, I’ve installed your plugin on my bbpress-forum and it works fine. Many thanks to you.
There is only one problem:
bbpress only shows the Mistery Man standard avatar image for facebook-visitors. I would like to replace the Mistery Man avatar image with the facebook profil image of the facebook visitors. How can I do that?
It’s good that bbpress is still somewhere in the list but don’t kid yourself, you won’t see bbPress as a stable WP plugin this year. It would take a great deal of work to make it happen, Matt would have to assign a dedicated coder which he is not likely to do.
Even if all backward compatibility was completely ignored (which will likely happen) it still could not likely be released this year.
Sam indirectly helped quite a bit by all his work in making 1.x use backpress but there will still have to be major refactoring. JJJ’s plugin attempt still uses backpress. But they can’t do that as an official WordPress plugin, the overhead would be staggering and would instantly get a bad reputation.
I am begging anyone that will listen to NOT call it bbPress because there will be major confusion. There will be nearly ZERO compatibility with all previous bbPress themes, plugins and advice. The entire bbpress.org forum will become a mess of tangled support questions for standalone vs plugin version questions.
Then there will be bbPress plugins that are actually installed into WordPress to supplement bbPress. That will certainly confuse newbies.
Just call it the wp-forums plugin or something like that and make a sub-forum for support on WP.org – leave bbpress.org for the standalone version.
sure am glad we need to play detective to know 2 cents about anything regarding bbpress.
@yutt, your wish will be granted soon enough, don’t worry. actually, matt probably won’t start this site over (bbpress.org). he will just delete it forever, along with all content and standalone packages.
then, he will probably steal half of _ck_’s code (along with a few others), silently, without any acknowledgement.
which is why, regardless of how anyone feels about matt or a plugin or whatever, there should be a fork of some kind for bbpress. at least we can preserve a standalone version and work out some kinks and have a safety net setup before matt blows us into oblivion.
@kevin, what do u mean? the 1.1 fixes are cuz the majority of ppl who install bbpress support a standalone version. why give up now?
and the next person who says “screw a standalone, bbpress isn’t meant as a standalone” needs to save their breath.
also what’s with all the vanilla salesmen? the whole point is that bbpress could be the best standalone forum software out there, esp. when you factor in the fact that along the road of many web projects some devs will decide they want to tie it in with wordpress at some point.
so instead topic form always below in forum.php, how about make it to other page like in front-page.php. so in future bbpress, user can choose betwen quick reply / post with advance form reply and post with smilies and others stuff
post position still error check it with firefox, all post have position-0.
and can you check the post slug table in your db, empty or not ?
(need that for change permalink to apply nicer permalink)
check my little hack for that in

thx btw for your fix
Very nice indeed numediaweb, and appreciated
ABOUT
A script to help you convert you phpbb3 (version 3.0.7) forum to bbpress (version:1.0.2) forum. This code is an update to the code made by wmnasef (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release).
GET IT @
http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/
BUGS CORRECTED
* works with bbpress 1.0.2
* corrects the single quote problem
* corrects the login problem
HOW TO INSTALL
1. make a backup from your online forum (if possible make an exact copy of your forum in your localhost server, this prevents any damage to the online forum).
2. install bbpress anywhere, just use the same database of phpbb3. this is important because the script assumes that all tables are in the same database.
3. download the script from here. extract it, and you’ll get 2 files.
4. copy the file phpbb3tobbpress.php to “phpbb3/” directory.
5. copy the file _phpbb3_pass.php to bbpress/my-plugins/ directory (if it doesn’t exist, create it!).
6. go to http://path-to-phpbb3/phpbb3tobbpress.php and start converting your board.
7. voila .. all your data is converted to bbpress tables, go to your bbpress installation and login. don’t forget to visit admin->manage->recount to make sure your converted board is updated.
As said before, it is advised to copy your phpbb3 forum to a localhost installation and make the conversion as stated in the steps above, this way if you have big forum with thousands of posts, it is easier and safer to run the conversion on localhost.
Hope this helps and thanx to the original poster.
Tested by http://numediastudio.com for http://forumcine.ma
I updated the current code and hosted it under google code at http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/
now it works with bbpress 1.0.2 and phpbb 3.0.7
have fun! and thanx original poster: wmnasef
bb_auth calls bb_validate_auth_cookie, which calls WP_Auth::validate_auth_cookie, which uses a variable defined in bb-settings.php. The cookies you can check for are auth and logged_in, with auth automatically switching to secure_auth if you’re on SSL.
I solved the integration problem myself.
wordpress login
admin / settings / bbpress integration
1. change wordpress type from wordpress to wordpress mu
2. copy and paste ‘manual cookie settings’ to wp-config.php
All done.
Hope to help others.
Could this be a magic quotes issue?
See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/220437/magic-quotes-in-php
If this module is loaded you can sometimes end up escaping input twice with the result being extra slashes in your database.
I’ve fixed a problem exactly like yours in the past by turning of magic quotes in php.ini, but I thought that these days bbPress handled the case when they were turned on.
Hi,
I have bbpress deeply integrated with WordPress but I am unable to register. Here’s my website forum: http://itracki.com/forum
When I try to register, it says that “email is required” even though I have clearly inputted an email. Is anyone else having this problem? Help?
Thanks 
bbPress is not a plugin of WordPress, you have to install it separately as you had installed WordPress.
Hello,
I’m trying my first install of bbpress on my WordPress 3.0 site. I’ve uploaded the plugin, but when I attempt to activate it I’m taken to a screen with the following error message: “The plugin does not have a valid header.”
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks!

I’m excited to see this news. Soon WP will be supported again. Also, the 5 people who spam this community with their personal outrage daily will give up and use Vanilla, like they should have from the beginning.
I’m hoping matt deletes this entire site soon and restarts from scratch using the same URL.
I just thought that was an unfair shot at Sam, is all.
It’s kind of depressing visiting bbPress lately. A lot of posts end up turning into discussions about how bbPress leadership has failed us.
I used to answer support questions on a regular basis but it’s not fun to do so when so many threads turn relentlessly negative.
Just some thoughts,
John
