@Senteevs: Excellent. Thanks so much for you time.
I also found a workable solution here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-custom-profile-fields#post-1839 I couldn’t find anything in the forums until I used Google to search the forums. Google surfaced what I needed as the first hit.
Thanks again.
I had my test bbpress and my wordpress site working well. WP 2.7.1 and bbpress 1.0 I updated my wordpress site this weekend to 2.8 and now the integration doesn’t work.
Not only does the login not work across the site, but when I login to one it logs me out of the other.
I have went through all the steps that I did initially to integrate the sites, but haven’t figured out the change. I’m wondering if it has to do with the bbpress integration plugin?
I installed the latest bbPress version (1.0.2) and integrated in WordPress 2.8.4.
Everything seems working, but only the footer navigation with the “next page” links don’t work.
I think it is a conflict between the htaccess files of bbPress and WordPress.
If I switch Options -MultiViews to Options +MultiViews, the “next pages” work.
But from that moment the topic page redirects to /topic/17475/page/17475 (the latest number isn’t correct).
Anyone a solution? Thanks in advance.
I haven’t had a chance to use bbPM yet – I hear good things though:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpm/
This is the most popular and oldest PM plugin… it has some usability issues that are unresolved, along with some security issues (which have been largely patched, in the comments of the plugin):
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/private-messages/
I don’t know of any PM plugins in bbPress that allows users to send attachments/photos…
Update:
I’ve been moving around some function calls and css attributes, things almost work except 3 things:
1. The navigation shows “members” as selected page, not the forums. How can I solve that? To implement the forum link on bbpress, I’ve created a file called pb_nav.php and put it in my mu-plugins/ dir. This won’t work on bbpress for whatever reason
2. When viewing a topic, I got some admin options at the bottom, such as “Delete topic”, “Unstick topic” etc. All these options are put in “[…]” which looks awful. I have no idea what in what file I can remove them.
3. I’d also like to change the “welcome <username> | Admin | log out” part by removing the username part, where is that declared?
I’d be happy if someone would help me out here, I’m almost getting to there…

Hi,
personal messaging is not a default function in bbpress, bbpress is great because of other features 
What about html as just link to an expternal website
http://www.bbpress.org forexample
I have BP 1.0.2 and WPMU 2.8.4 with deep integration (I call wp-blog-header.php in ‘bb-config.php’).
All of the forum RSS feeds work, except the top level feed of all new posts across the forum: <site URL>/<forum name>/rss/
This is true for FF, IE and Safari.
In IE, I see the error:
Invalid xml declaration.
Line: 13 Character: 3
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Viewing the source, it looks like WPMU is inserting an XML header above the bbPress XML header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- generator="WordPress/2.8.4" -->
<rss version="0.92">
<channel>
<title>[SITE NAME] » Page not found</title>
<link>[SITE URL]</link>

</rss>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- generator="bbPress/1.0.2" -->
ETC...
Does anyone else have this issue.
I have repo’d something very similar on a previous version of the site that is using WPMU 2.2.
For images you might want to try https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/
As for the html I’m not sure I understand your question.
Plain html should work
<img src="http://image-location.jpeg" />
Yeah that looks like WordPress is attempting to handle the RSS as well as bbPress, so it’s definitely a deep integration issue. I’m not sure how to detangle that, but hopefully someone else can or I’ll try and have a look tomorrow.
How do you link to html link in the forum post and display photos. Is there a plugin for that? I have latest version of bbpress.
@kawauso, that line in the error is the source on line 13: “<?xml version=”1.0″?><!– generator=”bbPress” –>”
I should have looked at the source though. It seems that the xml has two headers. Could this be related to deep integration?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- generator="WordPress/2.8.4" -->
<rss version="0.92">

Ok, I got it! Or close to that…
I happen to have this patch on my system
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/updated-to-desmond-but-theme-not-working#post-4254
As I disable that, the magic is done and rss comes back to life!
While I cannot say “what” is wrong with such a patch, I’m happy to confirm that just eliminating it does the trick. In case anybody else has the same issue…
Thanks for the kind help to everybody, with a special thank to kawauso
Not sure whether this is the same issue, but thought I’d post it here just in case. Before and after the above patch, I get exactly the same result. All of the RSS feeds display correctly, except the feed for all posts across the forums, that is, “<forum URL>/rss/”, which displays a blank page.
This is true for Firefox and IE7. On the problem page, IE gives the message “feed code error”, with the following details:
Invalid xml declaration.
Line: 13 Character: 3
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
[update] One difference between before and after the patch is the IE error. *Before* the patch it says:
Invalid xml declaration.
Line: 13 Character: 3
<?xml version="1.0"?><!-- generator="bbPress" -->
One interesting thing: if I browse to “<forum URL>/rss.php” (note the php extension I added), then the top level feed displays fine.
Here are the details of the pages I browsed and the results. All well, except for the top level feed.
<forum URL>/rss/ [blank page] – this is the published feed
<forum URL>/rss [blank page]
<forum URL>/rss/topic/<topic name> [correct feed displays]
<forum URL>/rss/forum/<forum name> [correct feed displays]
<forum URL>/rss/forum/<forum name>/topics [correct feed displays]
But…
<forum URL>/rss.php [correct feed displays]
Hi
Has anyone used the bbPM system that was developed by Nightgunner?
If not can you suggest another one?
I need a PM system where users can interact with one another to send PMs and also attachments like photos.
I haven’t tried BBpress before…the other solution is phpbb3 and that has a good one but it is a lot of work to install it.
Thanks
I guessed I’ll have to do that, but I have no idea which files I need to edit. The bbpress header file looks so much different from the wp file. It works somehow on the buddypress page. I want the same for me 
Another option might be, that I just work on the existing bbpress theme and try to adjust the design as good as possible. I’d be happy to be able to load my buddypress navigation at least, the rest can be done with using the local css files. Other good ideas are welcome.
pxlgirl.
I am not certain, but I imagine you will need to modify the bbpress and WordPress templates to match the BuddyPress theme.
The slider won’t open for me.
Firebug states:
$("#open") is undefined
anonymous() slide.js (line 4)
anonymous() jquery-1....2.min.js (line 19)
anonymous([function(), function()], function(), Object name=F) jquery-1....2.min.js (line 12)
anonymous() jquery-1....2.min.js (line 19)
anonymous() jquery-1....2.min.js (line 19)
[Break on this error] $("#open").click(function(){n slide.js (line 4)
The forum url is http://rainrider.eu/bbpress if you would like to take a look
This method is supported by bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.8?
Get this file: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/1.0.2/bbpress.pot
Open it with PoEdit: http://www.poedit.net/download.php
Find the strings you need to change, for example, “Location” and translate them to what you need. Save the changes as a .po file (it will also create a .mo file). Copy both files to your bbpress directory into a folder called “my-languages”. If you don’t have such a folder, create it.
Change your bb-config.php file and you’re done.
I’ve found running SABRE with stealth mode on in WordPress stops 100% of our bot registrations and I just point bbPress at that. If you disable registration with either .htaccess or changing the function, it’ll put a complete stop to any registrations on the bbPress side, so you shouldn’t need any spam protection besides that unless you let unregistered users post. bbPress comes with Askimet installed anyway though.
@dragunoff, upgrade to the latest bbpress version
or try some other free hosting with php/mysql enabled
