What you can do is use the MD5 function on a password and put it in the database. Then you can log in with the new password and bbPress will handle the hashing.
The passwords are difficult, if not impossible to decrypt so an attacker that gets access to your database won’t have everyone’s passwords.
The email retrieval of passwords just generates a new temporary password and sends it to the user. It can’t get the old password.
What type of integration do you have? Deep (WP functions available in bbPress) or basic (what I suggest, just having the login and user database integrated)?
1. 1.0.2
2. Yes
3. Akismet, Allow Images, bbPress polls and Comment Quicktags for bbPress; disabling them does not fix the problem.
4. Yes, version 2.8.6. However I’ve also noticed that when I log into the blog it logs me out of WordPress, so perhaps the integration is also faulty?
Well the problem is that they don’t give SQL backups ( they said it in their FAQ ), because it’s part of their business ( they can’t afford to let someone leave them ) .
But then I found that our forum at xooit.com has a hidden RSS feed ( forumaddress.xooit.com/rss.php ), so I thought I could use it with bbPress but as I see, I can’t …
Thanks anyway Michael !
I found the culprit…
It’s the bbpress SEO tools plugin from this site: http://www.finalwebsites.com/forums/forum/bbpress-plugins-and-modifications
any of you know a seo plugin for bbpress?
thanks
Here are some steps when converting WP plugins into BB:
- Change everything from WP to bb (except some functions like wp_enqueue_scripts, etc – they are borrowed as it is from WP, actually they are in BackPress)
- Activation & Deactivation are hooks, not functions
- There are some different functions like
bb_title();, bb_option('description');, bb_option(’uri’);
- If a function name doesnt start with
wp_, then most of the times bb_ is added to avoid conflicts when WP functions are loaded into bbPress (integrated)
- There are also functions like
bb_is_topic() etc like is_single() in WP
- etc….
BTW, nice theme of your forums…
Michael, I am already working on bb Cumulus, and it is almost completed.
You can see it active on my test site – http://forum.gaut.am/
Greetings all 
(I have removed the 888 from my user-name – I just couldn’t stand it anymore)
I hope someone can guide me or point me in the right direction here. In various attempts to understand how the bbPress plugin system works, I am trying to convert a few WordPress plugins into bbPress ones.
I’m starting off with “WP-Cumulus” as well as “Let It Snow”. I’m not sure, however, what to look out for. For example, what are the differences between WP and bbPress when it comes to adding extra admin and profile info.
What things should I look for while I go about doing this?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
gerikg: Good idea – we’d like these meetings to be as productive as possible. And you’re very welcome to attend on Wednesday. Looking forward to hearing your ideas.
Hey guys, sorry I missed the meeting. I’m glad you people are going forward on this. I just want to thank you. I’ll keep my suggestions and comments for the next meeting. I notice a lot of comments I made on the here were brought up in the chat. I will try to attend if you let me.
buddha trance, that’s just the most popular tags though, correct?

That’s just the top 80 tags, here.
bbpress IS NOT phpbb, so better to make 1.1 simple as possible, but CAPTCHA is needed for registrations.
and bbpress should stay STAND ALONE forum engine. imho.
I’m using the Open ID Plugin with 1.0.2 and it’s working fine.

what about the sql injections vulnerabilities
To be clear, that just removes the search box, or hides it from display if you choose to do it with CSS display:none;. People could still access the search function directly by accessing the URL http://www.example.com/bbpress/search.php?q=keyword. If you just want to reduce visual clutter, remove the code from your template as suggested by hatter.
1. What version of bbPress are you using?
2. Are you using a custom theme?
3. What plugins are you using and does disabling them allow this to work again?
4. Are you integrated with WordPress and if so what version?
There are no error logs created specifically by bbPress. Those logs would be dependent on your server or host configuration.
It’s probably not the CSS, but my guess is it’s something related to this specific setup. Maybe the language in use or the RTL CSS or integration with WordPress. bbPress does this by default when you type something that looks like a URL. Here I will just type something and bbPress will just linkify it: http://www.google.com (I typed www google com but with the periods in it)
bbpress as wordpress plugin?
I see … Probably BuddyPress is more important project … ? 
As far as I know, this is not possible in bbPress. It’s one way encrypted so it is difficult to reverse. bbPress will mail out a new password, or you can look at the hash in the database, but there’s no quick or easy way to unencrypt that, that I know of.
The bbPress.org website is going to be re-vamped in the coming future. The plugin directory may include a comprehensive filtering system at some stage.
I think you should suggest this in the current survey. Matt Mullenweg might want to know about it.

Michael
Hey all,
How do you port a wordpress theme to a bbpress theme? ( Not the usuall header and footer replacement. But with the use of the bbpress header and footer. )
Thanks for your help,
Fundomaat
Hi!
Maybe it is a stupid question/idea
but is there a page that would list plugins /extensions to bbpress by version?
at the moment it is hit & miss If there was an index by version I imagine it would make life easier to all of us
what do you think?
Maybe I just have not seen it..
