What version of bbPress are you using? I don’t think that plugin is compatible with anything after 0.9
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/#post-3687
I have it on line 311 of bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php in a 1.0.1 installation.
I wouldn’t modify the core bbPress file, but that’s where the text comes from. I’m not sure of the best way to modify that text though.
Hi, I am having problems with the Instant Password ( http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/ ) plugin. It seems that visitors cant register, while I (admin) can manually register them with the plugin.
A common error is “Your password is too short” saying its less then 6 characters when its at least 8 or more.
Thanks in advance.
jayvasdewani – what is the URL of the forum? That’s a pretty customized install from the looks of things and I can’t tell where bbPress is.
hi there
Thought I’d try wordpressMU and bbpress. Found a nice little how to guide (http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/07/17/integrating-buddypress-wordpress-mu-and-bbpress/) followed it to the letter. I get to “21. Log in as admin. Click Admin.” and there I am stuck. I login with the correct details and click “log in”, the boxes empty and nothing happens.
If I login with the wrong details, I get the “Incorrect password” message
anyone able to help?
Hey BBPress crew!
Quick question:
What is the function or method to call a post author or topic author name, as a link to their profile?
You can view the forum alpha @ http://www.pagelines.com/forum
Notice how the profile names in statements like “Started 6 days ago by arpowers” don’t have links to profiles. I would like this to link somewhere.
_ck_ released an “Edit Post Attributes” plugin which should do the trick for ya:

Hey everyone,
Can somebody tell me how I would check which page I’m on in BBPress with a conditional?
I can’t figure out how to do it for the ‘edit topic’ page and others.
I did however discover the ‘bb_is_search’, ‘bb_is_front’, etc.. conditional functions.
Thanks

There are at least two other good resources here as well, but I can’t recall the keywords to find them. But if you follow the buddypress tag at this forum you will see lots of people’s experience with buddypress/bbpress/wpmu integration.

You are getting the message that bbPress is already installed because you still have database tables. If you drop those tables, you’ll be able to reinstall bbPress.
I used to have this problem… you can fix your server, but some email addresses will never get the email even if things are setup on your end.
So I started using this plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/
And emails stopped being a problem! Maybe worth checking out?
Argh, ASP.NET is an evil possessed devil of a language… anyone got a database dump I can test with? 
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.
