I got the same issue. I first put all of the contents of the folder bbPM into bbpress/my-plugins and got this message:
bbPM is installed in the “bbpress” directory. It should be installed in “my-plugins”
Then I put the actual folder itself into bbpress/my-plugins, but got the same result.
1.0 wouldn’t be affected nothing will change in database but in 0.9 it will expect data as per 0.9 whereas it will be available as 1.0
Just change the prefix for 0.9 and reinstall
Here is my bbPress resource page 
http://blog.ashfame.com/bbpress
does the admin link show up when you login?
if no, try this http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-lost-admin-access-bbpress/
and if yes, then try loggin in from bbPress and not from WordPress
I have Instant Password installed on one forum where I get around 150 members a day, and this hasn’t been an issue? But the forum hasn’t had many griefers, so ymmv.
I don’t think an “email verification” plugin exists… this is the closest I know of:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/page/2/#post-3902
Hope that helps!
I don’t think a v 1 plugin exists that can do that?
If someone doesn’t suggest one, your best bet would be to hire a developer to adapt the plugin to work for version 1.0+…
thanks i got the plugin and got it installed but this seems like an open forum where everyone can register without an email..anyone can give in a dummy email id and post anonymous posts on my website.Can i get a plugin whereby a user can only log in into the forum by verifying through his email id.Thanks
i got this plugin, but the problem is i have bbpress 1.0.2. And it doesn’t seem to work. I want to be able to apprrove posts before they even appear on my site.Thanks johnhiler. more suggestions please for bbpress 1.0.2.Thanks
Do you want to be able to approve topics/posts before they even appear on your site?
If so, this plugin is great but it only works with earlier versions of bbPress:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/
I don’t think there’s a “hold for approval” moderation plugin that works with 1.0? But if someone knows of one, please post a link! It’s come up a few times in the past few weeks…
@karma1981 – That’s a bug with the plugins page… there are two issues:
1) The download only works if you are registered, for some reason. So first, you have to sign into the plugins install.
2) The signin isn’t automatic because bbpress.org/forums and bbpress.org/plugins are using different versions of bbPress and don’t have cookies integrated.
So in short: sign into the plugins page, and the download should work! 
hello, Is it possible to moderate posts in BBpress.I have BBpress installed but when i tried putting up a post as a memeber, the post comes up on the forum, it seems that there is no moderation of the posts by the moderator.can anyone suggest what i can do to moderate my post in my website.Thanks.
Woah. This really works? By “integrate a fb-connect button on your bbpress site” what do you really mean? Just stick it in the template someplace? What if I’m already logged in from elsewhere? Will it keep my login?
johnhiler, the password plugin you suggested is not available on the bbpress website.
hello everybody thanks for the solution.Johnhiler, thanks for the plugin solution but like rlebowitz10463 says, the plugin does not solve the issue.Can anyone please suggest any other solution.I tried registering for rlebowitz10463’s website polina-such.freehostia.com/bbpress, and the registration is not working, same like my problem. looks like chrishajer might have some solution since he is a moderator of the bbpress website.please help…anyone, thanks.
I crated a mobile plugin for BBPress but have not had the time to release it as a standalone plugin. You can see it at:
http://www.berryreview.com/forums/index.php?ak_action=accept_mobile
It is totally based on Alex Kings Mobile Plugin for WordPress so I am not sure if I am allowed to release it. Let me check.
When I do have a chance to release it you will have to edit the theme to fit your site. Let me know if there is any interest.
I dont know why, but I’m not able to access the Admin panel. My bbpress is integrated with wordpress and it worked after installation. I haven’t modified the bb-config file either. Yesterday, I was able to get to the admin panel by clicking on the IP address in a post. Now that doesn’t even work. What do I do?
That’s cool, Gerikg, thanks for contributing.. I personally did not need to change any of the bb_auth_key etc, just copied the settings from wp-config.php to bb-config.php (forget about trying to input them in the bbpress install, it’s hopeless), plus the bbpress integration plugin for wordpress, and it worked right away…
Tom also provided the follwing, which worked for me after I couldn’t get any of the above to work.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/are-usernames-with-spaces-sensible
Oh you top man Tom! Yep, worked first time, perfect.
Over on the other forum at: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-keep-just-display-name-which-links-to-profile-in-posts#post-58301
they tried this, which didn’t quite work;
<a href="http://www.example.com/forum/profile/<?php bb_get_profile_link(post_author()); ?>">
<?php bb_get_profile_link(post_author()); ?>
</a>
I’ll mark this thread as resolved then, and put a link to here on there. Nice one, thanks.
James
It’s hard to tell with your path removed there, but assuming bbPress was installed properly (it’s not a plugin for WordPress) it seems to me that something was not uploaded completely. This is the first time I’ve heard about this problem.
That’s great! That’s brilliant Tom, thanks very much. I was obviously missing a few commands there!
Thanks both of you, you just made a lot of integral practitioners very happy with their new found ability to register what they’re doing with their practice for mind, body, spirit and shadow on their new forum. Here’s the handiwork in action: http://wholelifewholeworld.com/forums/profile/james-blacker
Presumably if I changed (or removed) the spelling of the codes in the names (not that I will), it would break and any info people had put in previously would be lost.
And I’ve increased the number parameter at the end of your add_action(‘extra_profile_info’, ‘add_descriptions’,15); – even I could work out that was important.
Tom, if you’re on a roll, do you have an insight for the one I posted on why linking poster names to their Profile doesn’t support usernames with spaces? Presumably you’ve linked Posts to people’s Profiles on your forum having done the extra work to modify your own profile pages?: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/are-usernames-with-spaces-sensible
Thanks again, both, greatly appreciated.
Cheers, James.
PS. Paul, no relation to my colleague, Gary Hawke, presumably? http://integral-uk-symposium.wholelifewholeworld.com/meet-the-people/gary-hawke/
We’ve got Super Search (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/super-search/) running on our forums, and it locks up the database when a few people are using it, and particularly if they’re doing an “all time” search.
On the http://bbpress.org/blog/2009/04/talkpress-and-bbpress/ page it states “The architecture behind WordPress.com demanded that we make bbPress play nice with the HyperDB extension for WordPress. This neat database load-balancing and redundancy tool is now fully compatible with bbPress. So if you want to run your bbPress site with redundant MySQL databases in multiple datacenters then that’s possible now too. bbPress now has a pretty enviable set of advanced options for MySQL connectivity.”
So we’re looking at running HyperDB to offload the search to another database. And I presume future version of BBp will support hyperdb. Has anyone got this up and running, was it easy to set up? Were there any problems I should know about?
It was in the Step 2 while I’m installing bbpress
Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Auth’ not found in /home/’my-path’/bb-settings.php on line 970
FYI. it’s in a sub directory of wordpress2.8.4
How could it happened?
I have the same problem, any suggestions?
