bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin… it’s an entirely separate program.
Follow the instructions here to install it:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/
Good luck!
Hi. I’ve searched Google and here with no luck, possibly because I’m not using the best keywords.
In WordPress, you can schedule posts to publish at a future date.
I would like to be able to publish a new topic at a future date, rather than immediately.
The reason is that we publish a new article each week. First, it gets posted on the private forum of a membership site. A few days later it gets published on our WordPress blog for the general public.
The WordPress post is always put in early and scheduled to be published on the next Wednesday.
Is a ‘schedule topic’ function available in bbPress or via a plugin?
Or is there another way to do it that I haven’t thought of? I’ve heard that at least at one stage it was possible to sync WordPress posts and forum topics, but I don’t know much about that.
While installing Plugin ….its showing This msg ”The plugin does not have a valid header”.
Please help any body to resolve my problem….
I have a wp blog and a bbpress forum and I want to integrate them both into buddypress, so that the whole site works together, rather than each section operating independantly.
So my idea is to import all my bbpress users into my wp-mu installation. Does that sound sane? I have 5000 users in my bbpress, I’d hate to cut them off.
First things first, bbpress has a display_name field that’s empty. This is used in wp-mu, so I guess I will have to put something there.
Has anyone ever attempted this before? It seems like a lot of work to go through to do something that should be relatively cut and dried.
You can use the HTML Purifier plugin and allow any other tag also:
http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/html-purified/ (Download the bbPress one)
It should do the trick, I’m using it & it works like a charm…!
I don’t want to show the bbpress profile only, instead I want everything that is shown on the bbpress profile to be shown on the wordpress user profile. Is this possible?
WP User Profile
blabla
Forum stats:
blabla
All on 1 profilepage.
Normal method is to create a WordPress with the same name (slug), which will load the forums instead and skin the forums to match the WordPress install, either using CSS and modifying the template, or deep integration as well. There isn’t any way to integrate bbPress into a standard WordPress page apart from iframes.
Several other users of that plugin reported similar issues on the comments of the plugin page:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/
It seems like one cause of that was that some servers don’t allow outgoing connections:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/page/9/
Maybe check with your host about that?
Very good tip.
That worked. I am so close to having this working that I can almost taste it.
I am able to go into the admin panel, (“Dash Board”) of the BBPress now. I have also read the bbPress Plug in folder’s readme file:
This directory is reserved for plugins distributed with the bbPress core package.
If you wish to install more plugins, you should create a new directory called “my-plugins” in the base directory of your bbPress installation and
install them there, not here.
That is good to know.
I did this and I went to the admin panel
It worked
“WordPress-bbPress syncronization” plugin activated
So the bbPress seems to be all ready to haved this going.
Now, I went back to the WordPress Dashboard and pulled up the page for the setup of the plugin on that end.
The only problem I have now is what to give for the bbPress Url. It does not like what I have given for this so for.
bbPress url URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant):
I have tried a few things. Nothing has worked. Please advise. Thanks for your help so far.

Sometimes when you integrate bbPress with WordPress, you can lose Keymaster access (even if you’re signed into one or both of the software systems, as Chris mentioned above).
If that’s what happened, this plugin should help restore access!
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/
Add the code to your sidebar.php, just follow the same format as the other two boxes that are there. Then put your code in between the opening and closing tags. It would be a new block of code looking something like this:
<!-- ads START -->
<div class="widget">
<h3>Please visit our sponsors</h3>
MHYD PASTE AD CODE HERE
<div class="fixed"></div>
</div><!-- end widget -->
<!-- ads END -->
Just put that wherever you want in the sidebar, before or after whatever else is there. Just make sure you don’t post it into the middle of some other div and break the sidebar.
I don’t know of a bbPress theme with the concept of widgets. So you’ll have to edit sidebar.php manually to achieve what you want.
You don’t need to uninstall to move bbPress as such, since it’s not installed in any way apart from the the .htaccess file settings and the database settings.
You need to change the uri setting under bb_meta in the database to the new forum URL, and then change the .htaccess file so it matches the new directory.
The .htaccess file can probably be fixed by turning off Permalinks and then back on. Don’t forget to log out and in again too.
The options might be changeable by using __ck__’s All Options, but I have a feeling the URI isn’t editable from there.
Is it integrated with WordPress? I have this issue in that scenario, only solution is to login in from the bbPress side instead.
I am trying to set up BBPress with WordPress so that they work together.
I have already got WordPress installed and set up. I tried to get a plugin installed to make it work with another BB, MyBB, but I had some problems installing this plug-in and so I did my best to remove it. I doubt this is what is causing my current problems, though.
I installed BBPress and when I did there were options to provide so that it would work with WordPress. But it did not seem to work.
I then installed the plug in. And I tried it briefly.
But then I noticed that I also needed to install the same plug in on the BBPress side. But now I notied that I could not go to the admin directory. When I typed the path to the admin area for BBPress it automatically went to the default BBPress root directory.
One possible issue might be the fact that I declared the keymaster on the BBPress to be the same username as the admin for WordPress. And the only password that will work when I log on to BBPress is the same password I used for WordPress. Will that be an issue.
The problem is that I ccnot go to the admin panel on the BBPress to do anything.
Please help.
OK so I got lucky and remove the line of code in my config file and was able to get back into the directory location and move things back to the way they were.
Now I just need to give this to someone who knows what they are doing to move it where I want.

I tried that now I can see anything when I try to go to the page.
I am in way over my head and pulling my hair out. I’ve been working on this instead of my work stuff for the last three days and I’m getting incredibly frustrated by the whole experience.
Where is the best place to post a need for a programmer to do this for me?

Do you know how to drop tables using phpMyAdmin?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/uninstall-forum
Try turning permalinks off and seeing if that helps… if so, it’s probabaly a rewrite/htaccess issue.
Thanks
I tried what I found at the bottom of https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-move-my-bbpress-location – changing the location in the general settings section and the first page comes up nicely but when I click on any links I get a 404 – Page not found error.
What next?
Craig
