I really am starting to think i might have done a mistake with going for BBpress…
questions I have about the whole thing:
– appart from using the same DB for user (wordpress+bbpress) is there a good reason for using BBpress?
(it seems very limited, i keep getting errors form the official site(usually not a good sign))
– can bbpress be inserted into my wordpress page? (i think i read it cannot but still can’t believe it)
(I would like to have that very limited forum(bbpress) inside my wordpress otherwise i’ll go with a full on phpbb, if it’s the same thing??!!)
well, doesn’t look good….
first post was a minute ago,
I tried to subscribe to my topic = topic not found (although it’s there) and no redirect to anything, just a nice “TOO BAD BUDDY” message
try to add to favorite = error …too bad buddy!
Is it even worth it trying to get to know bbpress or should i go back to proper forum system like phpbb?!?!
I mean that’s the BBPRES.org own forum…. what is it gonna be when i get these error on my own bbpress?!?!?!

Hi,
i just installed my new bbpress forum with wordpress 2.9.2 integration which works fine… now i see how to add topics which is nice, but just can’t find anything about adding “forum main theme”
I am not talking about “design theme” (which by the way you guys gotta change that it’s ridiculous to call forums by “forum main theme” very confusing and almost impossible to find anything that is not related to the actual “design theme”)
anywho, how do i add new forums “main theme” to my forum??
I like the Kate Humble design, but how did they get the 2-column layout?
Thx Chris for linking to te previous topic!
Kevin,
I just want to mention that my wordpress site is currently using custom permalinks, without any problems.
Here the bbpress who couldn’t use them, i want to understand for example if i’m not on Apache server so that means my wordpress site wouldn’t use the custom permalinks (right) ?!

wp-blog-header.php loads wp-load.php & template-loader.php
I think if we are not going to use WordPress themes in bbPress then we can use wp-load.php but I think wp-blog-header.php won’t hurt.
Your link looks interesting, I will have to see.
@kevinjohngallagher I don’t mean to sound rude – apologies of I do – but I don’t understand your mindset…
Just because no one has come out and asked for this plugin to be updated automatically translates to there being no demand for it? This board isn’t that frequently used as it is – so how can you assume that just b/c people haven’t taken the effort to register, post, and ask for the plugin – that there isn’t demand?
And this is all while every other forum package out there includes a functioning feature provided by this plugin – with a proper back-end interface… (and please don’t tell me to go and use one of those “other” packages – I’m here for a reason).
The point is, there is work to be done. With our “limited resources,” it’s obvious that we can’t make huge changes to bbPress itself – so why not allow and encourage those who are capable and willing to go ahead and rewrite/update plugins that haven’t been touched in over two years? It’s not like we’ll be making huge strides in bbPress core with those “limited resources.”
Like I said, I don’t mean to be rude, I just simply don’t understand your frame of mind here.

I have translated bbPress to Dutch this weekend. Here’s a preview: http://er-was-eens.net/forum
Drop me a line if you want it too.

Personally,
I’d leave this one to Paul when he has time.
We have so few people contributing as is, that it seems a bit daft to start hacking each others work. It’s not that I think Paul would mind, its just that we have limited resources as is to start ‘fixing’ front end output.
And on the whole if a plugin hasn’t been updated in 2 years then the chances of “updating” it are slim. It’ll probably need a major rewrite, and if there’s been no market/demand for it for 2 years, its probably not worth it sadly. There has been a huge number of changes between bbPress0.8 >>> bbPress0.9 >>> bbPress 1.0.2; and um… _ck_ had a particular way of coding (it is obviously really effective as her work is brilliant, but it’s a bit of a nightmare to edit and refactor for 1.0.2)
@zaerl Wait, which plugin are you referring to?
If you mean this one – https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/topic-icons/ – it hasn’t been updated for almost two years – so a modification/update would be nice either way 
But if you’re referring to the plugin on this page, then it’s still a needed thing, and creating a mod/update would be welcomed. I’m sure @paulhawke wouldn’t mind… would he?
Thanks
Firebug is much, much better than chrome devtools in my experience.
thanks! its so funny you mentioned firebug, I was going over your bbpress with the chrome devtools as you wrote me! Thanks for that though. I loved your new bbpress.

Firebug is your best friend people.
I would love to know which line of code
@gerikg
I tried and When I inserted this keys (from https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt) in my config files, cookie integration don’t work.
Also I checked with salt (from https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt) and my old 32 chars keys – and integration still didn’t work.
When I had returned short solt keys values (32 chars length) and my short 32 chars keys then cookie integration began to work.
Also I have noticed that in the http://jakshi.org.ua/wp-admin/options.php lack of secure_auth_salt keys, all other salt keys exist.
That it definitely would.
I need a back-end to this asap. Badly. And for some reason, the code rules don’t work for me.
I actually asked Zaerl to maybe do his coding magic and rewrite the forum/topic icons plugin here:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-visibility/#post-5776
jakshi, just for argument sake can you try eight keys instead? https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt
Concerning to my issue – I am using php 5.2.13 (I know this exactly, because I’m self hosting my blog on worpdress )
I’ll try to remove ?> in the end of the wp-config.php.
May be it’s significant for cookie inegration.
Ok i just moved everything over using this but my users are missing, including both admins so we can’t login to bbpress, does anyone know how to fix this? If so please email me on how to fix this! The tables for users are there, but nothing to browse when i go to phpmyadmin
@ashfame, I emailed you. Yes I have all the WP files sent to me.
I get hosting from 1and1. For me to use php5 I have to put a line “AddType x-mapp-php5 .php” into the htaccess file when I don’t have that line I get a 500 error. On top of that WP one click update or install doesn’t work. I don’t know how to prove it to you.
It can be removed from any php file and its something debatable
Also the official documentation suggests that omitting the ?> at the end of the PHP file is helpful in some cases.
