Yah it’s a bug with 1.0… chrishajer reported it to trac recently:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1139
You can manually change the permissions for now… and hopefully it will be fixed in future releases!
Bummer, I took a closer look at the YAF forum thread, and it’s actually to convert from phpBB to YetAnotherForum…
Anyone else have any other wild ideas?
Hi,
I did not see information on how to upgrade from 1.0-alpha-x to 1.01. Are there any problems? Someone already did this?
I’ve bbPress 1.0-alpha-2 with WP integration (v. 2.
SMS
Which version of bbPress are you using?
If you have phpMyAdmin access, then open the usermeta table (should be bb_capabilities if you are not using shared user tables and should be wp_capabilities if you are using shared tables) and change the value of bb_capabilities to a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;} for your user.
Hope that helps.
P.S. – Change the default table prefixes as your case may be.

WordPress 2.8 integrates easily with bbPress 1.0
I just wrote a post today : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/
I will also be writing a post on how to upgrade existing integrated installations (most probably tomorrow morning). Let me know if you are facing any issue, I will try to help.
P.S. – No plugin is now needed for integration. 
@Ipstenu – thank you for the clarification regarding the upgrade!
About the recount issue, there was also Simple Onlinelist causing the conflict. If a recount is needed, it will work by deactivating it.

Fistly excuse my english ….
Hi, i have integrated bbpress inside my wordpress installing on the same database.
The problem is that i have made all the integration except the user relation, so now i can logon like admin user on bbpress but i can’t change nothing 
it seems to be a normal user
Can i do manually (changing the database) to assign admin user as administrator ????
Loving the addition of Voices into the core. Just figured out how to display them 
Well _ck_’s excellent Hidden Forums plugin will get you started. Let me know if you need help with the Custom Role plugin. Or if you’re using bbPress 1.0, there’s a Role Manager plugin that should do the trick!
You can make a view to filter just about any way you want. Just bypass the proprietary internal bbPress query system and make your own mysql query. Study the My Views plugin set to see how it’s done.
I may have to start doing it manually, then either adapt an existing plugin, or get my head around it myself at a later stage. They’re really banging on about it at work right now as a must have ASAP feature. It’s all about the monies!
The standard version of approve user registration does not work in V1. This may be breaking registration.
There’s an updated version of this plugin here: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/page/2/#post-3902
I’ve got V1.0.1 working great with that and human test. But if you’ve tested with the plugins disabled I can’t really offer anymore help. Sorry.
For anyone interested, I’ve got the Approve User Registration plugin working for V1. With the help of _ck_ of course (big thanks!). There’s more work to do on it, but for now it works…

You could do that with a third plugin for sure. I haven’t automated it because rebilling through Paypal is a pain… so I have someone manage it manually.
I think WordPress MU has a plugin that does something similar. Maybe you could adapt that?
Have you looked into automating the procedure at all with the PayPal recurring payments system? I was thinking about creating a separate ‘advanced’ roles table, which WP and bbP check to see if that user should have access to certain content.
This table would log the user ID and keep the callback from PayPal, and when their time was set to expire so they would lose access should they cancel their auto renew payments.
Is it possible you have lost the proper integration and WP is making one cookie name and bbPress is making the other?
This isn’t BuddyPress-specific.
You can accomplish changes for the title, meta keywords, and description with a bbPress plugin or custom bbPress code.
I answered this in your post on the BuddyPress forums:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/group-forums-meta-data
I also can’t login to both installs simultaneously. I am using WordPress 2.9 rare and BBPress 1.0.1 version. Please help.
Hi there,
I’m using bbpress with buddypress. Its great but there is no meta data:
1. Page title is simply the name of the forum for evey topic in that forum
2. No meta description.
3. No meta keywords
I found this post http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/is-bbpress-seo-friendly where chrishajer and _ck_ show how to insert keywords in to a bbpress topic. But does anyone know how I can get this working for bbpress when it is integrated with buddypress?
It would be great to have topic title=page title, first post in topic=page description (perhaps limited to 255 characters) and tags=keywords (as above).
Does anyone know how this might be done?
Thanks a lot!
Here’s a plugin that allows you to restrict access – I use it together with a custom Role to run a premium pay-only forum for one of my sites:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/
But we have to handle the Paypal subscriptions manually… it’s a bit of a pain, but worth it of course!
Here is what I have thus far. bbpress is integrated with WordPress, So login is synonymous on both. However, I would like users to only be able to register from WordPress. I know it is pretty easy to just change the register link on bbpress to that of the WordPress registration page, but I also want to drop bbpress’s capability to send an email on either “Registration Mail” & Approval Mail settings. It is no longer needed if the user registers on the WordPress page and both are pulling user info from the same table.
Does this matter if I change the link to the WordPress registration page,and the settings are still available? And if so how would I go about disabling this?
Following up – I can’t use the recount etc. tools on 1.0.1, but as it turns out, it’s a plugin conflict. With Polldaddy. So if you have that problem, check your plugins first!
I edited my first post:
try add / to your forum url in “settings > general > bbPress address (URL) “
Hi Kar-l,
I think the 2 errors are the special chars “Następna” .
or if this is “href” try add / to your forum url in “settings > general > bbPress address (URL) “
