I have no clue on this. It might be a pain to do manually but if I were you I would peek into the bbPress’s code responsible for upgrading the database. Good luck!
Well, its good Idea btw.. but I already walk 90% here, go back and do the upgrading will take time 
is there any manual way to do this ?
this is the code I use… (in post.php) hopefully that can lead you in the right track to finding the right code for your plugin.
<?php echo bp_core_get_avatar( get_post_author_id() ); ?>
Ah, thank you for clearing that up.
I think you need more since there are sites providing buddypress+wordpress+bbpress 
success with your free hosting site
Most other forum softwares have websites providing free hosting. Why not bbPress? So, I decided to start a free hosting for bbPress myself.
If anyone is interested, please take a look at my brand-new website, yes, entirely run by bbPress itself !! :

I hope this posting won’t be misunderstood as a spam…
I’ve never quite understood the complaints about cookies and bbPress/WordPress integration… I set up a fresh copy of 1.0.2 locally with no prior knowledge and it worked fine (Windows test server). I FTPed it onto my live server and changed over the addresses and it works fine, apart from an odd quirk to do with bb-admin and where you log in. My cookies hold across either site, and for that matter to a MediaWiki install I have tied in to the same user set.
I quite understand the issue with cross-posting though. I’d fix it myself if I could work out how to initialise bbPress core cleanly inside WordPress, but that’s not possible in 1.0, so for now all you can use is plugins that do it by HTTP. Hopefully that will be integrated into core later on, but including bbPress as a WordPress plugin would be shoehorning something that was designed to be relatively standalone into a different structure and no doubt would over complicate things.
Sure step over to SMF if you like to have:
– more spam
– more plugins (to get it working as a forum should work)
I never tried to use bbpress with wordpress, but I’m sure that both are able to work together (based on the same script)
Yeah, I did. Anyway, I’m not gonna rush this. I’m gonna leave it up to the BBpress creators to work on Facebook connectivity for future versions.
Though as a user, it seems Facebook is more and more becoming a starting point for everyone, and can be a starting point for everything. “Log in with Facebook” can become a really powerfull tool, and so everything should work more with Facebooks several features, like groups and stuff.
Hi all,
sadly bbsync still doesn’t work AFAIK and so I’ll probably head with SMF.
At least SMF has this.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-to-smf-forum/
I wish bbpress where a truly “out of the box” solution with all the SMF features already built in.
I wish bbpress were a plugin, or in WP core, so that all I had to do was click a few buttons and it was there.
I wish this WP/forum plugin also had a bbsync blog-post-to-forum-post automatic function that I could just switch on, also WP core.
But it isn’t. BBpress seems to have all sorts of issues integrating with WP. I may as well just operate 2 separate databases, and keep the thing simple. Once users have logged in and accepted the cookies they don’t have to keep logging in anyway… they’re auto-logged in. If a WP post can be automatically shunted across to SMF as an SMF post with an automated link to that post, wow!
Hello All,
I have decided to make wpmu as the only point of registration on my website http://www.oraclepronet.com though I have buddypress and bbpress configured with cookie sharing (it works well). Since I use the same user table and since I have loaded the wp-blog-header.php in bb-config.php using require_once, isn’t it possible for me to display the avatars used by buddypress users in bbpress ?
I have tried modifying the top posters plugins to use the get_avatar($k->posterid,’32’) function and it displays a mystery man icon instead of the correct buddypress/wpmu thumbnail.
Too much to ask for? I really don’t want to allow users to add thumbnail from all places. (blog, user profile, bbpress profile)
Kindly help
Best Regards

It’s my deep pleasure to launch my WPMU+BuddyPress+bbPress. Please take a look at http://jazz.or.id
This is community website for Jazz Lovers in Indonesia. We know there are many website using WordPress, but not many about jazz.
Dedicated to Matt Mullenweg, because he loves Jazz. Does someone else also like Jazz?
Please give comments for the design and content, I am hoping so much from you all, because you know better than me.
No, there is no rss2.php file in my template. Moreover, I am now just using a plain Kakumei them which I downloaded fresh from the bbpress.org site: the only change I applied was switching the original file inside Kakumei with the one you provided (as well as the other files you provided for other locations inside the install).
Yes, weird.
So.
1. – I just dowloaded 1.0.2 once again from bbpress.org and completely reloaded the Kakumei folder into my install. [1]
2. – Tags do *not* work as they should once you load the forum, log in and try. Please see http://www.kirpi.it/r/topic/evita (User: Evita Password: IE0Rc4vpTl7P) for a free test.
3. – When I disable Javascript as suggested, tags adding start to work fine (although not ajaxically, obviously): the tag is recorded, the page is reloaded, the tag is inserted into the list and the input field is cleared.
4. – Re-enabling Javascript, it sometimes work and sometimes not.
5. – Repeating points 3 and 4 confirms point 4. Test were done many times with the latest Firefox.
It is all funny, but I cannot get a clue of it.

[1] I also updated the bb-templates/kakumei/rss2.php as indicated here
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/all-rss-feeds-broken#post-57278 in attempt to solve the RSS problem (which was not solved, but this is another story).
@gerikg
installing bbPress in a sub folder doesn’t cause any issues. I have integrated several setups like that without even using the integration plugin which has many supporters without which they can’t be integrated.
Things may be different if bbPress isn’t installed in a sub directory as I haven’t tried that.
If they are deeply integrated then you will have a hard time figuring this out as if you ask Is this is WP? WP will say yes and if you ask Is this is bbP? then bbP will say yes and if they are deeply integrated then both questions will return a yes.
Somewhere I read that Matt Cutts said that keyword rich URL’s are better (sorry cannot find that site)
but there is more than the URL, try this SEO plugin:

but but.. I don’t know what that means! but I don’t need it anymore.
Hi Guys,
Currently I’ve reinstalled bbpress to new version 1.0.2 I do fresh installation of bbpress to a new location, then I import the data from old bbpress database 1 by 1.
Since I’m installed the bbpress directly integrated with my wordpress, I saw there is no table bb_tags.
How to restore this and where should I put the bb_tags data ?
Since I saw now bbpress using wp_users as user management data, where do I found for this tags ?
Thanks in advance.
reinstalled bbpress completely….fixed the integration issue but still IE isssue is pending….all other browsers are A OK!
any ideas any one…i am struggling with this. i dont want to put index.php ahead of my url
ashfame, what about the cookie path… and the wordpress intergration option on bbpress dashboard?
Kawauso, you just said the same thing I did.
If hes trying to generate this page (go to the link and look) https://bbpress.org/forums/?new=1
then he’s missing the bottom half of the front-page.php
that is why I said look at :
look at line 84-88
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-templates/kakumei/front-page.php
the same line you just brought up.
