wpmimic have the same layout this is the discussion
Check the usermeta table for user_id of 1
You should hopefully see a meta_key of bb_capabilities
and then the meta_value will be something like:
a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}
Not sure its even possible to manually change a password any more.
Hi Chris, thanks for replying. I found the problem! It seems firefox had cached the “not found” page while i was having permission issues (750 instead of 755 or something), and instead of bringing the correct files, it was fetching the (bad) ones from the cache. Why it worked for jpg or gif files correctly is beyond me, but now everything seems to be working!!!
Weeeeeee!!!
THANKS!
Nothing step by step because all themes aren’t created the same.
The idea is to imitate the header.php, footer.php, and the content goes into something similar to page.php
Thanks dude! Do you know if I can find step by step instructions anywhere? I want to do something like this site. All pages in wordpress except one page in bbpress.
I am planning to use this theme if that makes any difference:
http://freewpthemes.name/natural-health-free-wordpress-theme/
I’ve now changed my user id to 1, and my email in phpMyAdmin. I then reset the password again, and it sends me an email with a link to reset my password, but when I press the link I just get this message; “You are not allowed to change your password.”
Why is that? And is there a way I can manually set my user as an admin and manually create a password?
Again, thanks for all help.
“New version of wpmu”
What version is that?
Does it have a number or something specific we can identify it with? What was the old version you were using?
“but old users in past cant post”
How old users?
People who were registed before you installed bbpress?
or before you upgraded your WPMU?
What error message are you recieving when old users post?
What is happening when they post on the front-end and back-end?
Is it related to this at all?

Can you check the response headers for a page that comes up to see if it’s actually 404 instead of 200, even though it displays? Or post the link to your forum so someone can check it out.
Hi
I have a bbpress installation Version 1.0.2
Which integrates with wpmu.
New version of wpmu is working fine and new registered users can post but
old users in past cant post now when they login to the site. I am not sure what
to look for here. The user is in wp_users, where else must the user be?

bbPress has 3 things going for it:
1) It can integrated a single signon with a wordpress install
2) It’s very easy to ‘theme’
3) It’s totally open source and easy to code for
If you like these, then bbPress is for you. If these things are not enough (and for most people they’re not) then bbpress is not for you.
It’s also wrong to say that bbPress is missing alot of functionality. that’s purely down to your perception of what YOU think a forum should have. bbpress documentation is shockingly thin on the ground, so if it doesn’t do what it claims to do – tell us 
But don’t judge it because it doesn’t do something it doesn’t claim to – you’ll never find the software that fits your needs that way.
I have a similar question. I’m finding that the translations to my language (spanish) are quite poor, and it seems most of the plugins are pre-version 1, so I’m missing a lot of functionality (like user avatar, which should be there from the start!!!).
So I wonder, besides sharing users (which is not a big benefit for my implementation), is there any other reason why bbpress + wordpress is a better option than any forum software + wordpress???
delayed email perhaps, and of course check your spam bin…
1 is the standard for whoever set the forum up, check the user table and compare. Is row ID 1 also you? and do you still have full admin(keymaster) rights?
How to resize avatar in topic view, i didnt find any size codes in style.css.
I want my forum look more like bbpress.org
I’ve checked the users table, and the email addresses are correct. I’ve now had three people test it, and the last one actually got the email with the new password.
I’m using bbPress 1.0.2.
EDIT:
The second test user also got the email. It seems like something happened to me, or me and the 29 first users. My ID is suddently 576, and it should be 1 I think.
check the users table, are the email addresses stored correctly?
Which version of bbPress are you using?
I need new one. Maybe someone have ?
Hi. Unfortunately the links obtained from the “#” in Kakumei theme (or similar) are just anchor links. This is due to the fact that they are generated with post_anchor_link() (file: bb-templates/kakumei/post.php:11).
With “just anchor links” I mean that they are anchors (#post-number) of the current page. They aren’t permalinks. All that links became invalid once you change the “items per page” (and/or other values) from the bbPress admin panel.
All you can do with the links that users have posted is to parse them and change them accordingly to the new server settings but this can (and will) be a long, tedious, hard and prone to errors work.
I have written a plugin called “zaerl Post Permalink” that solved this problem. My plugin export a function that generate this link:
1) http://www.domain.com/the_bbpress_path/post/post_number
2) http://www.domain.com/the_bbpress_path/?post=post_number
The (1) is preferred if mod_rewrite is used. These links are permanent and do adapt on the fly to the actual settings of the server. I use my function in various places of the template and post.php is one of these.
I can share my work with you if you want. Email me za AT zaerl.com.
p.s. keep in mind that the plugin isn’t retroactive.

I managed to convert vBulletin to phpBB3, and then phpBB3 to bbPress.
The users passwords however does not work, and I can’t seem to get the email when I try to reset it.
I got all my users over, but the system never sends me an email when I try to to reset the password. Has anyone encountered that problem?
Also, how may one copy users from the phpbb_users database to the bb_users database manually?
Thanks for all help.
Hello,
I have a website with WordPress as the mainsite and vBulletin as a forum. After doing lots of research on bbPress, I quickly understood that bbPress is far superior for my needs and would fit extremly well
I do however have one problem, and that is that I have lots of users and posts that I can’t loose. I’d like to transfer my users login info as well as all the posts and threads.
Are there any scripts for converting a vBulletin database to a bbPress database?
Thanks for all help.
