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.

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,

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..
I would double check here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101 to make sure you have all the correct settings.
ahh… that’s 2:30 in the night here… 
Great! Looking forward to that!

I agree with Chrishajer. I didn;t know that bbPress does it without a plugin. This as I did not use my forum at all until I had some plugins installed (including bbcode).
@Chrishajer: I don’t think it would have anything to do with the CSS file. I’m sure there’s a file (I haven’t looked) that has the function that parses the post.

@Gautam, the next meetup on IRC will be Wednesday 16 December 2100 GMT irc.freenode.net #bbpress
When I build new web site, I need contents + forum most of time.
I wish bbpress is integrated with WP (which can be CMS) including WP theme.
Anyway, I love bbpress’s simplicity. It is best of all forum application.
I hate to ask this, but is there an easy wasy to move over all the users and posts from BBPress to PHPBB?
Has anyone tried this yet?
Thanks,
Adam
whatever you do with bbPress, please make sure to keep it SIMPLE to be used by “average internet users” and “newbies”.
Only “simple to use” applications enjoy huge success. Look at Craigslist, Facebook, etc.
Features need to add value for the user and provide easy to use interface.
For example looking at the WordPress-Dashboard “Admin-interface”, I still believe this interface is way too complicated to use and not really self-explanatory. A newby will be confused and just click away from it.
Start thinking out of the box
Thanks !
bbPress normally does. Looks to be not working in your installation for some reason. Can you try the standard style.css instead of the RTL css and see if the links become clickable?
Also, what plugins are you running? And are you integrated with WordPress?
well, it’s a workaround, but
my users will need to put each link in <html> tags?
not so user friendly…
Why can’t bbpress parse the links as url’s?
@ipstenu – I didn’t see it caught by Akismet. Doesn’t appear to be moderated to me.
My post/reply to that vanished. Huh. Must be moderated.
Ah well, I would say this: I’m okay with bbPress becoming a plugin. Why reinvent the wheel? If you can set up a WP install to just run as a forum with the bbPress plugin and hide the WP blog stuff (or make it look like a forum with a blog/news page separate) then why not? It sounds logical for how bbPress is perceived.
It’s never going to win against the big boys and most people seem to like it as a WP+ tool.
And frankly the WP admin side is better.
Death to lightbox (PLEASE make it optional!) and keep tinyMCE as optional as well.
@Gautam: Thanks a million, did not notice that plugin existed until you pointed it out. Gracious! Still think an optional TinyMCE should be built in, but this plugin is great.
is there any plugin for bbpress that display the words from google the visitor searched for
I like to see some activity on this project, read the IRC chat, here my $0.02:
1. I like the idea of better integration with WP I’m actually looking for a solution with wordpress + bbpress, I don’t mind if it’s a plugin for WP or a standalone, thinks I would like to improve are: users (single profile page, authentication -openid) and themes.
2. I like the widgets idea for bbpress.
3. I think TinyMCE should be optional.
Looking forward to get involved in this new wave of bbPress.
Have searched all over this forum for solutions to these, but none of the suggestions worked for me.
Have installed bbpress along side a WP installation under a sub folder. Added Options -MultiViews to .htaccess.
Results:
1) Cannot access the admin page… have tried logging out & flushing cookies, but clicking Admin always gives me a white blank page. No plugins installed, and perms are all 755.
2) Logging into WP site doesn’t log into blog & vice versa. Have added the cookie info to the config and they match the wp config. If it matters, there was no security salt reported on my system (for some reason) but installer said that was ok to leave it blank so I did.
Anyone want to tackle this? Can _feel_ the power of bbpress, but these basic issues make it a PITA! 
Can you please when the next meetup is?
I completely agree with you on that. There would be no point in putting effort into making a stable plugin for a version of bbPress that will soon be out of date.
I’d really love to see the developments of this. 
Wish you luck with it
I am also a fan of keeping bbPress as its own software entity. However, I would not care if it was available as a plugin to WP by default, but could be installed stand alone as well.
It just might be a little more difficult to market it as a forum in the mainstream if it is hidden away as a plugin with an optional checkbox to just install as a forum and not a blog. Just my 2 cents on that.
Oh, and not a big fan of TinyMCE myself. But I’m old school. I think the masses generally like crap like that… Making it optional would of course be the way to go.
