I’m sorry guys, most of me is me! Just Kidding, Congrats BBpress.
do you want me to look at it??? email me ftp and give me admin access.
af3, I ran into the problem that you can not manage your favorites without going to your BBpress profile. Some of the bbpress plugins I was using needed to be edited in the profile, like signatures, notifications, etc etc. It’s a big issue to me. I’ll bring it up during the chat tonight.
I got around that by creating a tab called signatures in the buddypress profile and then have it show up in the posts and got rid of the program.
You can use the anonymous plugin. It’s complex if the user is logged in and post anonymous. If they want to post anonymous, logout or create a fake account.
Click on EXTEND on the top of this website, and search for “anonymous”. It was number 11. The search engine on this site it not that great, so you have to go through the list.

Hi, I’m brand new to bbPress and hoping to integrate it into my client’s existing WordPress powered site. One of the key requirements for the Forum is for registered and logged in users to be able to choose to post anonymously, maybe by way of a checkbox on the ‘Add New Post’ form. I’ve searched for a plugin to do this but had no luck.
Can anyone please offer any tips or advice? It would be very much appreciated.
Yes, bbPress can have sub forums of sub forums of sub-forums. I have never tested how far it can go, however.
The code from detective works. I’m using wpmu+bp+bb; so i added this to bb theme functions.php (yes! if you dont have custom functions.php, just create one) and it works.
add_action(‘bb_init’, ‘profile_redirect’);
function profile_redirect() {
if (is_bb_profile() && $_GET != ‘edit’ && $_GET != ‘favorites’) {
$user = bb_get_user($_GET);
if ($user) wp_redirect(“http://www.example.com/members/” . $user->user_nicename);
}
}
now, trying to find code to show user’s forum (bbpress) posts to show in the BP profile.
What is a subforum? bbPress has forums as categories, where the parent is a category and cannot accept post, and can have just child forums. Is that sufficient?
It cannot be managed from the backend of WordPress – they’re separate pieces of software.
Documentation needs:
1) Definitive integration directions.
1a) Integrate a new WP and BB install
1b) Integrate existing WP with new BB
1c) Integrate new WP with existing BB
2) Better Theme directions
Unlike WP, BB by default uses ‘child’ themes, so unless your first step in CSS is to wipe out all settings, you’re going to have weird legacy going on there, which throws people off.
3) Upgrading
The upgrade used to leave out things like ‘save your .htaccess’ but it looks like that’s finally be addressed so never mind
Everything could use some screenshots. Like the upgrade says the upgrade button is really obvious, well, show us WHAT it is. A picture speaks 100 words.
Hi,
I’ve had a search around but kind find anything relevant, bbPress looks perfect, but can it support sub-forums? Not seen any screenshots of the backend, can it be administered through the backend of WordPress?
Cheers,
I didn’t even know there was a download counter! This is great! 
When bbPress 1.1 comes out, I’m sure it’s counter will reach 100k in no time at all.
Second that. Standalone is much better.
That info, on what vBulletin is doing and how this can open new doors for bbPress as a standalone platform, should be weighed seriously, before rushing into the plugin idea. The timing of this happening is hardly a coincidence… and a great opportunity.
Just checked the counter. It’s 50k+ now – http://bbpress.org/download/counter/ 
Also, bbPress 0.9 is close to the 150,000 mark: http://bbpress.org/download/counter/legacy
It should be added (also signatures, emotions, bbCode etc.). People should get to know the power of bbPress on this forum itself.
Agreed, no need to make it into a plugin.
It works when i login first in bbpress, then I’m logged in wordpress also, but first in wordpress and then in bbpress is not working!
I don’t need to clear the cache, just the cookies, but yes I did, i cleared both!
It mentions in the readme file to do this:
Copy and paste this: <?php bbad_ad_block(); ?> as the first line of post.php (before <div class="threadauthor">)
but I cannot find (before <div class="threadauthor">)
anywhere in post.php file, can it be the very first item of post.php?
The theme you’re using is a very hard one, so you could expect problems

And thanks to you for releasing this plugin, make sure to get in the directory!

I honestly don’t get this sudden push to make bbPress a WordPress plugin rather than continue as standalone software. There is so much potential for bbPress to grow and succeed in the 2010 standalone bulletin board market. Disagree? Think about this:
Remember back in 2004 when Movable Type pushed everyone away with their new pricing plan? The result: BLAM! WordPress REALLY took off, fitting the bill as a viable free easy-to-install, easy-to-use alternative.
One can make a strong argument that vBulletin is currently doing the same exact thing Movable Type did with their pricing plan snafu! (http://www.technologyquestions.com/2009/10/28/vbulletins-visceral-price-structure-angers-clients/) Check out this comment by donnacha which says even more: (http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/12/11/bbpress-lives/#comment-1321740)
Throw in how complicated phpBB and vBulletin are compared to bbPress (not to mention how easy bbPress is to pickup for those familiar with WordPress) and there is a major bulletin board niche opening for Automattic.
This current bbPress 1.1 development push can really provide a great vBulletin alternative if it is done right. Shine up bbPress so it has some of the default features vBulletin and other boards offer (as OPTIONS in the admin interface) and we will see an exodus a la Movable Type to WordPress in 2004.
refresh the page and try again, sometimes this site does that.
Do you want me to look at it? and did you clear your cache after you just have one line?
Not available for download. Tried to download and the link to plugin creator and his email is down
@ipstenu – I see… if there is duplication with deep integration, then as a plugin it would be lighter. I was also under the impression that a decision in this direction has been taken already, looking at the IRC chat…
I’ll continue to use, and love, bbPress regardless (and already use WP), though I’d prefer that it stayed as a standalone, because I think it has more potential this way, and it continues to cater also to those who are not interested in having to run WP at the same time. It is fair that opinions against the plugin idea be expressed and that Automattic becomes aware of the reasons behind them. This will allow for a better final decision.
It could be that the plugin idea is an impulsive one, based on the long lapse suffered by bbPress, and lack of a “grand” vision for this platform… or maybe they know what they are doing and the direction to take is to create an extra feature for WP, rather than a separate platform. In the end, of course, it’s up to Automattic.
Obviously, the decision is based on the potential number of new users. And the numbers increase if the platform is easy to use (a one click deal) and it integrates seamlessly with the blog. Though a plugin would deliver all this, it would also take away from a different crowd and future potential, and maybe there is a compromise. Some solution offering the one click deal like BuddyPress, while at the same time being able to run as a standalone and cater to the non-WP users who just want a forum. I don’t know if that is technically possible to achieve.
If theme integration is the only reason for bbPress to become a plugin, maybe there are alternatives, like something similar to the embed plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/embed-bbpress/, also mentioned in the IRC chat. One could build on that idea… and bbPress can be run as a standalone for those who choose to do so.
Maybe that is not the only reason, and the way things unfold will be (catered strictly to WP users + goodbye bbPress plugin developers and community):
WP(MUmerge) –> platform
BuddyPress –> plugin
bbPress –> plugin
