@DennisH: thanks for your reply, I am sorry, but I don’t really understand, how do I delete them? do I have to go post by post and delete all the special characters? Perhaps there is a way to increase the maximum length of an SQL command?
Does bbPress have something similar to WPs <!–nextpage–> to break a topic into several pages if too long?
Thanks.
It does suck. I always just use google like “site:bbpress.org/forum/” or “site:bbpress.org/plugins/” with my keyword.
The WordPress.org search used to suck equally hard but it got better a while back. Still sucks here. I accept that it sucks and move along.
There were some plugin attempts at better search for bbPress, but I don’t think they’d install a plugin just to improve the plugin search here. I think they used Sphinx at WordPress.org to fix their search:

Maybe you could create a custom view for the topic, call it something like “Printer Friendly Page” or “view topic as one page” and put it on each page of a topic?

There is a limit to the number of tags being displayed. Here’s some info about the parameters for the tag heat map: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hot-tags-not-updating#post-23324
That’s a few months old, so things may have changed a bit.
For bbPress SEO there are a couple plugins:
http://www.finalwebsites.com/bbpress/bbpress-seo-tools.php
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/is-bbpress-seo-friendly#post-20439
There was another one too, I thought, but I can’t locate it right now.
On my new forum http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress/ I noticed that as I added more stuff to it with tags, I could see tags on the top in the topic itself but not in the “Heat Map” or the box where the tags are displayed. Is there a limit on how many tags can be shown in this box and if so how can I change the number to whatever I want it to?
Also are tags in bbPress similar to meta tag keywords in WP? I did not see them in the page source under keywords. Does bbPress have a plugin that inserts keywords like in WP?
Thank you.
I’m not sure why this would happen, especially on the default theme.
I would recommend two things:
1) First, try disabling your plugins to see if that helps at all. If it does, enable one plugin at a time to see which plugin is causing the conflict.
2) If that doesn’t work, try this plugin?

I use it on all my sites, and it’s been great…
Good luck!
I know this topic has been touched on elsewhere but I have found, after an hour of reading this site, that there is no definitive answer and without one I’m going to pull hair out… and i don’t have much left to do that with, so here goes..
wpmu installed fine
buddypress installed fine
bbpress installed fine
opted to make change in role map and share membership database in admin panel
did that…
when i did, as the page said,
“you might be logged out”
I was… but I was not only logged out, the admin account no longer exists
so I can’t get back into the thing to change anything,
I have downloaded, installed and followed the directions of the lost keymaster plugin to no avail
i now have a nice forum software package staring at me and no way to get into it, and membership
is not being shared
i need some form of serious, helpful guidance this is supposed to be working today
thank you in advance
Because your (a clients) browser proposes always the same “file name” within it’s save dialog I’m looking into avoiding to add the respective page number manually each & every time. So it’sbetter to save everything under one file name – how could that be accomplished by bbPress?
For printing & reading it’s likeweise.
@Navin
As much as you would like to see. I will incorporate as many stuff as possible without compromising with performance.
Everything dynamic in bbPress/WordPress is stored in the database, and tags are stored in one table but referenced in others. Better to fix the underlying problem.
Say you have a thread like the one here:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release
What would be a recommended approach to print or save ALL pages at once – or read them on one page, when online?
(There are reasons to work with something offline still …)
Hi – I’m getting a similar error – only it occurs for some general users. I integrated BBPress 1.02 with WordPress 2.7. Everything seems to be working fine, but some users report getting a “user not found error” when the click on the “view Profile” link. I checked the database, and all have user nicenames. Any thought?
@ash Just the layout, or also functionality with plugins?
@mwaterous
Ok! You got the <h1> tag. Happy? More suggestions..
@diegozaks: Sounds like you have a special character(s) in your db. You need to find and delete them. I had the same issue.

First of all, thank you for a great script, I have run into a problem, it seems when I try to transfer the 60k posts it reads:
Data too long for column 'post_text' at row 1 [1406]
What can I do about this? Please help it is very urgent.
Also, in order for it to work, since I installed phpbb with a different table prefix, I had to define the prefix on the script file just under the bbPress prefix, then I worked:
$table_prefix = 'phpbb3_';
The way I did it was to duplicate kakamei theme (not the blue) and put it in the my-template.
Then started with the BB header, I copied what was in the WP header. I took everything out after the body tag except for the “main” div. The BB footer I did the same. I just made sure there were enough div closing tags. Then copied over the codes that apply for the header and footer from the WP css. Most WP theme has two column one main and one sidebar. I treated BB like it was wordpress, one side the main section and the other sidebar. I treated the MAIN div as the main section and View/Hottags as the sidebar. I know this is not the best explanation but I hope you get the idea. It just takes a lot of css work.
Thanks for the replies!
I wouldn’t mind installing a plugin to accomplish this, but I tried out Role Manager and it didn’t have any option for displaying emails.
Ashfame, I just went with your method of putting it in profile.php. It’d be nice to not have it as a per template thingy, but it works fine for now. You’re right about it needing to check to see if the current user is an admin to prevent duplicates. I’m new to bbpress so I don’t know if there’s a proper way to do this or not, but I figure the admin is the only one who can edit users, so I plopped in this little guy:
<?php
if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() && !bb_current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) ) {
echo 'user_email .'">' . $user->user_email . '';
}
?>
It seems to work.
They don’t come up automatic, which is why I’m posting. It’s probably theme related, but there doesn’t seem to be much in my theme dealing with that other than calling functions from a core file.

Right now I have hashes in place of the numbers, just messing around. : )
Just turn E_DEPRECATED error logging off and you’ll be fine. XAMPP/Windows isn’t the problem, it’s PHP5.3’s new E_DEPRECATED “feature”.
I guess the most simple (and painless) way to do this will be to redirect/rewrite the profile URL from bbPress to point to the profile URL in WordPress.
You can reference the profile by the ID – in bbPress it goes like http://example.com/bbpress/profile.php?id=1 and it is equivalent to http://example.com/wordpress/?author=1
You just need some .htaccess magic 
Hello,
I would like to display a link to the profiles of my WordPress website on the post.php file, just below the username and avatar.
I tried a code that I found in the profile.php file : <?php echo get_user_display_name( $user->ID ); ?>
But I can’t even make it work. Is it possible to get the Worpress user nicename to create this link? I did a complete WP/BBpress integration…
Thanks a lot for your help
It has to have my name and web site linked to somewhere on it. Then people will know my name. And my web site address. And that I’m super cool enough to be linked to from a theme that I didn’t make.
Ok bbPress lovers! The new month has started and I want to give the community a theme which would cover the needs of masses. So pour in your suggestions. I would like to cover up as many suggestions as possible.
