I have tried twice now to install BBPress and for whatever reason it does not work. After going through the installation process, I get this message: “Forum could not be created!”
When I go to the address of where my forum should be, I get this message: ” Oh dear!
bbPress is already installed.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?”
When I click “upgrade script” nothing happens. Any advice?
edit: Nevermind, I did some voodoo and somehow it all worked.
I am using this plugin, with just normal integration, to call the forum latest posts in the sidebar of my blog, and it works great.

I believe that the issue was the reverse, that is: how to add the blog menu onto the forum.
If this is the case – the way I have done it – you edit header.php of your forum theme and add the menu tabs there, to match the ones of your blog. Make sure it is a custom theme and add it to my-templates folder, or you will lose it when you upgrade bbPress next time (if left as the default Kakumei).
Just after
<div id="header" role="banner">
you add the html for the tabs (for id “navigation” add it to the style sheet). For example:
<div id="header" role="banner">
<ul id="navigation">
<li><a href="blog url" title="Main Blog">Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="forum url" title="Forums">Forums</a></li>
<li><a href="another page url" title="Whatever Page">Whatever Page</a></li>
<li><a href="contact page url" title="Contact Me">Contact Me</a></li>
<li><a href="about page url" title="About">About</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Hope this helps.

I don’t think there is an export feature in bbPress. What sort of importers exist for the forums you’re looking at?
I am looking for control over which links can be “follow” and which can be “nofollow”. A plugin will render them all “nofollow”. Is there a way to make bbPress accept rel=”nofollow” next to the a href tag?
Thanks.
I’ve skinned up the BBPress Kakumei theme and am running into a layout issue that I can’t problem solve.
As you can see on this screenshot, the title “Latest Discussions” above the ‘Latest’ table is getting pushed to the right of my screen (i put in a red box to show the problem). On Safari it acually pushes the whole table as well.

I have scoured my html and css and am not expert enough to figure this out. Can anyone suggest how to resolve this?
Thank you very much
I really need a way to export posts from bbpress to punbb / fluxbb
can someone help me point to the right direction?
You do not need integration at all to put a link to your forum in your top menu.
How to put a link to forums on my WordPress navigation menu
But it’s even simpler than that. If you put your bbPress installation in a folder (subdirectory of where WordPress is) called “kitty-cat-talk” and you create a WordPress page called “Kitty Cat Talk” with a slug of “kitty-cat-talk” – the link will be in the menu, and clicking the link will send visitors to your forum. The way WordPress .htaccess and mod_rewrite works with pretty permalinks is that it looks for a folder first (or a file) and if a folder with that name exists, serve that. So that is what happens with a page like this. Your WordPress page will have no content, it will just send people to your forums, assuming the Page slug and the folder you installed into are the same.
There also also ways to call the page whatever you want, and do a custom redirect to your forum. That is detailed in the link I sent. There are a couple plugins that can do that for you.

And then there is the template way someone linked to in that thread.
It’s pretty easy and you do not need integration at all to just have a link in your WordPress menu to your forum installation.
How do I add a space between lines or paragraphs in the stock theme that I am using? I tried adding the tag
and it does not add a space between lines or paragraphs. See this link “http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/topic/momentum-trading-a-practical-day-trading-strategy-to-get-profits-from-hot-stock” for an example.
Thank you.
How can the attribute “rel=no follow” for links be added to links in a topic? Is there a plugin in bbPress that renders all links or a chosen few to “rel=no follow”? When I used it like this <a href="http://........."rel="nofollow">.....</a> my stock theme removed it and made the link non-clickable.
Thank you.
There is a plugin available that lets you delete users:

Thanks for telling me about BBPM plugin – I will look into that.
Do you know of any plugin for Comment Length limiting that I can use on a bbPress forum e.g. limit a posters text to say 1,000 characters per post.
Yes, i use bbPress 1.0.2 and Human Test work.
Check this http://keskustelu.hpguru.net/register.php
Human test is 6 + 8 = ? etc.
Is Human Test plugin compitable with BBPress 1.02?
Is it one of those hard “write in this word” type of things? Those are impossible to read!
I don’t see screenshots anywhere. I don’t want registration to be even harder.
Are they timed bombs? Will they one day mutilate my forum with spam? Or what is it that they do? None of them have posted anything.
I use bbpress 1.02, will that plugin work for me?
Sounds like it!!
Try this plugin by ck… it really helps cut down on spambot registrations:

The last two days, I’ve gotten four new members on my BBPress forum.
These are Ashlynbap, Dariinortiozy, Queenmum and Tarahum.
All of them have websites linking to Viagra or Acne-removal. All of them have email adresses ending with”.info”. None of them has posted anything. Is it safe to delete these users? What should I do?
Curiously, these users joined after removing Akismet – which did not to a good job.
the private messenger plugin has been replaced by BBPM.
