At first I was like 
“open”, then I was all 
“ASP.NET”
So yeah, uhh, anyone got a dump of a database for one of these? I don’t even have a test install I can run ASP.NET that I know of…
Edit: Nevermind, Apache can do it. Will look into a conversion script, but it’ll be written in PHP.
Thanks John. I just marked this post as resolved.
Hi Jleuze…
Did you get some solution for your problem?
If you did I would really appreciate if you could share your experience since I’m at the same situation now.
Thank you.
Here’s the official protocol for hiring contractors:
The policy here is to close topics after you request someone for hire and post your contact info. You can also see my topic here for people advertising:

Good luck!
Hello,
We’ve implemented bbPress on our site recently, which is essentially a community forum for clients in our B2B software company. It’s currently operational with basic theme in place, and we already have posters who are active on it.
However, there are a few bugs here and there, some layout issues, and we’d like to implement some plugins that may require a bit of customization. Thus, we’re wondering if there are any bbPress developers out there who would be willing to help us.
I’m a bit new here on this forum, so I’m not exactly sure what the protocol is for looking for contractors.
We prefer to use a 3rd party outsourcing site to manage our projects & payments, etc. Those who are interested can check out more info on the project and apply through this site:

Alternatively, you can contact me at tony at leapfile dot com.
Thanks!
They use the Support Forum plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/support-forum/
Also, Akismet and possibly Bozo.
I don’t think they’re using many more plugins though? It looks like a pretty bare bones install, at least at first glance.
Sorry forgot the bbPress version – I’m using the latest version 1.0.2?
WordPress version 2.8.4
Welp… now.. after an attempted wash of the directory, reinstall of bbpress… it won’t let me go past the initial set up, it says the software is already installed… so I still have no access to the admin of bbpress as that account has been removed by bbpress… so is this crap software …. i cannot believe that, i’ve always had good luck with WP products… so i’m either NOT GOING TO USE THIS which would be a very bad thing or I am… if it ever gets fixed or makes sense, because killing the admin account makes no sense gang
The script worked for me last night and this is the second phpbb 2 board I convert. A few tips I can give whoever will try this script:
Follow the steps that come in the given file but make sure to:
1. Install bbPress 0.7 first, then upgrade to 0.8 when you have done the conversion. You can download 0,7 here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/download-previous-versions-of-bbpress#post-17770
Then you can go ahead and upgrade to the latest version (1.0.2). Make sure you update the settings in your admin panel (board path, name, etc) as you will need to get rid of your old config.php file when you upgrade to 0.8
2. If you’re hosted on 1and1, switch EXPORT_TO_FILE to false and AUTO_IMPORT_EXPORTED_DATA to true. Also add teh following code to your .htaccess file: AddType x-mapp-php5 .php (not sure if this is necessary but it worked for me).
3. I got an error saying that some query was empty, but it seems that the conversion went without any problems.
Mostly cosmetics.
– Removing the background
– Removing header (Don’t need login stuff as this is managed by Wishlist Member)
– Removing footer (Which I have already attempted to do)
– CSS updates so colours match my site
You can see what I currently have at http://www.shiftselling.com/forums/
I’m not a programmer but am a pretty logical thinker and generally do a pretty good job of cut & pasting.
I looked around and found this – http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/easy-way-to-integrate-bbpress-wordpress-themes.
That helped with the footer.php content but I got nervous around the header.php content and got overwhelmed with the stylesheet.css file.
This is something I’d like to get done fairly quickly so I’m willing to pay to have it done.

Who else should I consider calling to get this theme modified?
The creator of “kakumei” – on which Garry Vander Voort based his design?
In ernest: What are the areas where you need integrating help? Is it “cosmetics” only or deep code integration? What version of bbPress would you use … and so on.
Depending on the amount of time you want to spend on it (and your willingness to get acquainted to some cut & paste coding), I’m pretty sure that most of the questions (conc. Kakumei & it’s siblings) have already been answered here & in _ck_’s forum.
I used the Private Forums plugin for a year or so… it would randomly turn all my private posts public!
Then I checked the comments on that plugin, and a number of other users had reported something similar:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/private-forums/page/4/#post-1621
I don’t recommend using Private Forums for that reason… especially since Hidden Forums does the same thing. I’ve been using that for a year or two now, and have never had any problems.
This is what they said, but he wasn’t the support guy who fixed it:
It appears that they added the correct rewrite rules for WordPress to resolve the issue with the permalinks this can also by done from the WordPress admin under Permalinks.
My new issue with this plug-in is trying to get it to NOT create a new bbPress post every time I edit a WP post.
Addendum: To check a user’s role anywhere in your code use
<?php if (bb_current_user_can('administrate')) { ?> .....
(by replacing administrate by the proper role description)
as proposed here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-elements-viewable-only-to-admin
I had that same problem when trying to make only one register & only one login from my site with bbpress integration.
register is easy, I just wrote directly to the db from php using the hash classes included. but for login i made a kind of webservice. When I login from tomcat I just request the next url…
http://www.mysite.com/bbpress-root-dir/bb-login-check.php?user_login=USER&password=PASSWORD&remember=yes
and i wrote the next code for bb-login-check.php
<?php
// Load bbPress.
require(‘./bb-load.php’);
// Redirect to an SSL page if required.
bb_ssl_redirect();
$user = bb_login( @$_GET, @$_GET, @$_GET );
if ( $user && !is_wp_error( $user ) ) {
echo “0”;//login successfully
exit;
}else{
echo “1”; //login fail
exit;
}
?>
i hope that’s usefull…

Hey Everyone,
What is the easiest way (as of the latest BBPress release) to get the avatars for ‘topic’ authors?
I have avatars showing correctly for ‘posts’ with <?php post_author_avatar_link(); ?>
but it doesn’t seem to work correctly for the first post in topics and on the front page.
I’ve seen some other posts on this, but so far no elegant solutions. Any help?
Thanks!
Oh Kawauso, thank you so much!! This code works perfectly!!
But do you mean that normally, I should have just one profile page for WordPress and BBpress?
Easy answer. Number one requirement is, that it also has a wordpress theme.
Does anyone have any suggestions for showing the bbpress avatar next to comments in wordpress. I know a couple suggestions were given here, but, I don’t want to try the first suggestion, because they say to delete a file in my plugins, and I have a feeling that will cause more trouble than it’s worth. I saw another suggestion, tried it, but the avatar didn’t show. This probably won’t happen, but, it would be nice if there was a sister plugin to this one for wordpress… and you installed it and magically the bbpress avatars showed up. 
Wouldn’t that be nice. Unfortunately I don’t know php very well.
Here’s hoping someone can come up with a solution!
Is it possible to change the language after installation of bbPress? If yes, can you please tell me how to do it? I already uploaded the .mo & .po files in a new folder called “my-languages”.
Thank you very much for your help.
<?php if ( $wp_profile_user = bb_get_user( get_post_author_id( $post_id ) ) ) : $wp_profile_link = esc_attr( "/members/{$wp_profile_user->user_nicename}/" )?><a href="<?php echo $wp_profile_link?>">View profile</a><?php endif?>
Your profile pages from bbPress and WordPress should be in sync anyway if you’ve integrated properly…
