10 January 2010 03:13 GMT. I am about to release 5 replies from alexandanthony that were flagged by Akismet as spam.
I think conceptually you’re going to need to renumber some members, and then change all the places where their old ID was being used, to the new ID.
There used to be a way to make any topic you created a favorite of yours, then you could ask for email notification for all favorites, which meant you’d get an email whenever someone replied to a topic you created (since it was a favorite of yours.) The plugin that did that was pretty old, for prior to 0.9 I believe. I imagine you’re using the latest 1.0.x release?

particularly this comment for a really simple way of doing this, I think:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/#post-451
Or maybe this one:
https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/auto-add-favorites/trunk/auto_add_favorites.php
It’s certainly possible, with a plugin.
The forum comes up if you use this URL which is the index page for the forum directory:
http://www.londonmuscle.com/blog/forum/index.php
I see you’re on IIS. Do you need to set the default index page to index.php or something? This has happened a couple times that I know of recently.

Yes, install WordPress first, then install bbPress and follow the instructions for integration. I think these are probably the most recent good instructions on integration:

This looks hugely useful…. but two ideas to make it more useful:
1) If it’s based on RSS, you could conceivably pull other blogs in.
2) It would be cool to have a switch where an admin could choose to pull posts in or not, based on categories or something like that
3) Some way to let people know that a discussion has been spawned in the forum indicated on the original post…
Howdy… yeah, latest version of bbpress – 1.0.2 Plugin deactivation does nothing to either old or new posts (posting with all deactivated still brings me the / problem).
Hi guys,
Got a bit of a problem. Installed bbpress integrated it into wordpress got all the bits right so it uses my wordpress database and wordpress logins etc and thats all fine and dandy but none of my pages load.
I can only get to my bb-admin pages but only by going to the direct section say “appearance” I get a page 404 error when I go to http://www.londonmuscle.com/blog/forum/ or http://www.londonmuscle.com/blog/forum/bb-admin/
I havent actually done anything but follow the bb press install instructions so wondered why its not working.
Anyone able to help, Really need to get it sorted asap as this is quite a big part of our business.
Regards,
Chris
… something very similar to the way wordpress works now.
Does such a function/plugin exist for bbpress?
If so, I can’t find it. If you know of one, please point it out to me.
but duplicates, owing some content! for example, if ceronimo of WPMU (ID# 23) have comments in WPMU and ceronimo of bbPress (ID# 333) have topics in bbPress, what to do then?
Yes, remove the duplicates.
ah ok i see paul…..that actually sounds VERY cool. But would you be able to pull the whole post or how does it work.
I am looking forward to see what you come up with.
@bingsterloot – you are quite correct, no need to reinvent the wheel. Your plugin looks good! For someone synchronizing with their own WordPress, your plugin looks like the perfect solution.
That said, the “Rss Poster Bot” is still something I will pursue as it will allow me to draw on news/posts from a variety of other sources so long as I have a feed. Think of it this way:
- a post is made to your favourite news web site
- the “Rss Poster Bot” pulls the feed and sees a new item
- the bot now makes a post to your bbPress forum, starting a topic
- local users are able discuss that news item
I’ll give it a shot in my spare time and see how it turns out.
No need to re invent the wheel here guys. Just DL
The user who reported that problem found this fix:
Fixed! You won’t believe what the problem was… The plugin was uploaded to “bbplugins” instead of “myplugins”! Apparently it makes a huge difference
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpm/page/10/#post-4648
Is it possible that your plugins are in /bb-templates/ instead of in /my-templates/ ?
Hey Paul thanks for the reply. That’s exciting news, and I think it would be a very useful feature for bbPress
As long as the individual posts from wp show up as properly formatted threads, I don’t think theres much more that would be required. Anndd I actually have a small budget set aside for this, so if you shoot me an email me maybe we can work something out and get this done? My email is simon.raize[at]gmail.com
Cheers bro!
I am planning to create a plugin to do this – I was going to call it my “RSS Posting bot” – with options to post new items to either a single thread or start a new thread for each item, and config to say who (which bbPress user) the bot should post as. Other than general design, however, I’ve not really got too far. Should I take it that you would like such a plugin created? If so, any other features you’d want?
You’ve done an awesome job with this! 
This is what I LOVE about bbPress – you can do almost anything you like with it. I almost confused your forum for phpBB. Very nice
Looking forward to the next log post. Thanks Matt.
Hallo everybody,
It’s still in development but I am ready with the layout and it works very well.

The site has been made without deep integration. I have just used the tutorial of _CK_
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration
What do you think about it?
i was forced to switch to a linux server because my windows server was incompatable, i master in php,asp.net,vb.net and a ton of others but i couldn’t do this! where can i report this bug
