First off, I would like to say hello this community. I have been a long time supporter of WordPress, and just recently started looking into bbPress. I am very impressed with the software so far, but would like to get a couple kinks ironed out.
I run my own gaming community at http://www.irefire.com. The main page is running off of the most recent version of WordPress. Our forums used to be PHPBB and a backup of them is at http://www.irefire.com/phpbb. Our new forums are running off of the most recent version of bbPress and are located at http://www.irefire.com/forums.
I converted our phpBB3 forums to bbPress (thanks to http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release) but I must have done something wrong since no one’s password worked. It wasn’t a big deal since the community doesn’t have too many members, and they could just reset it. Then I integrated the userbase with my WordPress blog, and all of a sudden the only users I have are the ones that were in WordPress.
All of my users are gone except for those that were in WordPress. Even then, one of them (Giraffe) has been assigned as the author of posts he never wrote. Any help as to how to get my users back and on the forums (even if they have to reset their passwords) but keep it integrated with my WordPress (so they only need one account to post on the forums and comment on the blog) would be great. If I need to just do a clean install of bbPress and try pulling over the phpBB passwords correctly this time, help would be appreciated in how to do that.
Thank you so much.
Edit: I would also like to say that I have access to and limited knowledge of phpMyAdmin. I can still see all my old phpbb users in the _pbb database. All my the wordpress users are in my _wp database. If I could just throw the users from one database to the other, would that force them as registered users on both wordpress and bbpress?
Hi all,
I’ve just installed BBpress and it seems that everthing works “ok”. I’m still surprised that I have to download a plugin for so many basic things… There are minimum things that could come along with the forum such as “smileys, avatars etc”… these are standards in all forums.
Anyway, I’m asking for help because I have tried to register a test account and it seems that no mail is being sent eventhough I get the “congragulation page” saying i will receive one within minutes. I’m having my forum hosted by Yahoo web host.
Does anyone have a clue where to start troubleshooting?
Thanks a lot for your help
Ok
I integrated WordPress 2.8.1 and bbPress 1.0.1 using the tutorial by Sam and it worked perfectly.
I did deep integration by adding:
if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {
include_once( ‘/path/to/wp-load.php’ );
}
*with the correct path*
And again, worked. Now I want to load both stylesheets off WordPress and bbPress. Only WordPress loads it style sheet, bbPress returns a 404.
This didn’t happen with bbPress 0.9, anyone know why this happened?
Permissions are 755 on all files and folders.
I have discovered that there is a very easy way to integrate a BBPress forum inside of a WordPress blog. I havent found anyone in the forums doing it in this way so I will explain it here.
1. Asumed that you have instaled wordpress and bbpress, and you have integrated bbpress with wordpress following the steps showed in bbpress installation process.
2. You have to go to the administration pannel in your wordpress (wp-admin)
3. Create a page named Forum. Chose HTML and include the following code:
<iframe id=”forum” name=”forum” src=”http://your_url/bbpress_folder” frameborder=”0″ framespacing=”0″ scrolling=”auto” border=”0″ style=”width:925px; height:1000px; ” >
Sorry, your browser doens’t support iframe. Please upgrade your browsers.
</iframe>
replace the bold characters for the apropiate values in your web. The number in bold is the with of your blog. In that case (I use primepress theme) it is 925
4. Now we only have to add the widget to show the page, or like in my case, the theme shows all the pages in the blog as options in the header. We only have to remove the header and the footer of the forum.
5. In your bbpress directory go to bbtemplates and make a copy of kakumei directory. You could call it noheader directory and open it.
6. Open header.php and replace this
<body id=”<?php bb_location(); ?>”>
<div id=”wrapper”>
<div id=”main”>
<div class=”search” align=”right”>
<?php search_form(); ?>
</div>
<?php if ( bb_is_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>
with this
<body id=”<?php bb_location(); ?>”>
<div id=”wrapper”>
<div id=”main”>
<div class=”search” align=”right”>
<?php search_form(); ?>
</div>
<?php if ( bb_is_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>
7. Open footer.php and delete this section
<div id=”footer” role=”contentinfo”>
<p><?php printf(__(‘%1$s is proudly powered by bbPress.’), bb_option(‘name’), “http://bbpress.org”) ?></p>
<!– If you like showing off the fact that your server rocks –>
<!– <p class=”showoff”>
<?php
global $bbdb;
printf(
__( ‘This page generated in %s seconds, using %d queries.’ ),
bb_number_format_i18n( bb_timer_stop(), 2 ),
bb_number_format_i18n( $bbdb->num_queries )
);
?>
</p> –>
</div>
<?php do_action(‘bb_foot’); ?>
8. Open style.css and delete this
#wrapper {
background: #fff url(‘images/page_header_tile.png’) repeat-x 0px -15px;
}
9. You can add the reference a bbpress.org in the wordpress footer.
Hope this help

This is the forum page:
I have been looking forward to the release of bbPress 1.0 since I thought that users at last would be able to use usernames with diacritic characters like my own name Göran. To my disappointment this is not so. I installed bbPress 1.0.1 and when trying to register as a user with the name Göran it was suggested (in Swedish) that I chose the name Gran instead.
Please suggest a solution! This is a major drawback for a simple and useful forum. It must concern a lot of forums with users that have names that not conform to English spelling.
I have raised this question with earlier versions of bbPress but never recieved any useful solution. I run a forum where I have to tell users that they cannot use their real names. Other Swedish forums do the same. Please help!

Topic: Installation madness o_O
Hi everyone,
I’ve successfully installed PHPBB3 forums, WordPress blogs etc etc… and somehow, I’m having a nightmare installing BBpress…
I’m not a coding/IT guru but I’m not a beginner either so this makes the thing even more frustrated. By wanting to make the installation process easy, the description lacks a lot of details I believe. Here’s what I have:
– Yahoo web hosting
– MySQL Server version: 4.1.14
– MySQL client version: 3.23.49
– phpMyAdmin latest version
Steps:
1. download bbpress
2. upload it to gufugumu.com/bbpress
3. go to the url gufugumu.com/bbpress -> installation window appears fine
4. Step1 – fill the information
– Database name : guillos
– Database user : admin
– Database password : *********
Then comes the famous error : “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.”
So I can’t pass step1. I then look in the forum but could not find anything usefull. One would expect that installing a forum should not require advanced PHP or MySQL knowledge. This is quite annoying.
Also, if I try to remove the “-sample” from the “bb-config-sample.php” then I get the error message “ERROR: Could not establish a database connection”. Finally, I have also created the database in phpMyAdmin. Of course there’s 0 tables.
Any help would be extremly nice as I’m about to give up and go for PHPBB3…
Thanks in advance
