Has this been solved? I’ve been trying to figure it out as well. Everything I’ve found is for wordpress-mu and I’m not sure what needs to be changed to use it with regular wordpress.
I found this http://insecure.no/2009/01/wordpress-and-bbpress-nice-url-rewrite-for-nginx/ it sort of works. pretty permalinks work but any attached files such as the css sheet or jquery.js returns a 404 not found error. Any Ideas?

John,
I do not have a WordPress install attached to bbpress. The upgrade went smoothly except for one error that said I already had forums. Other than that, everything seemed to work fine except for the registration. For registration, I am using the plugins “approve user registration”, “terms of service”, and “human test”, but I had deactivated all of these prior to upgrade and then again when testing the default theme.
bbPress 1.0.1 Simplified Chinese Translation.
You can download it with the URL below.
http://wpcn.googlecode.com/files/bbPress.1.0.1.Simp.Chinese.pack.only.v1-wpcng.zip
There maybe still have some translation bugs. So please let me know and I will fix it.
ck, so maybe use a service like flickr and have them display in the sidebar or something? That might be an option it seems.
I’m brand new (as you know) to the bbPress side and don’t have any coding experience. So, I’ll have to hope that someone comes up with a plugin down the line for flickr (although I’ll go check in case there’s one already out there) or a similar service.
How do I get to the sidebar? Meaning, which file do I edit to add the code for that flickr embed file?
@Michael3185 meant Sam giving his two sense to the Gravatar selection direction idea. It’s cool to get his take since he is Mr. bbPress.
I haven’t launched my site yet, but I know of some other blogs where they take a mobile picture, send it to an email address and it posts as a new post on their blogs.
So, I was wondering if I could do it on bbPress as well and it would show as a new post. Any thoughts or ideas?
Could I have something on the WP side and then have that blog post start a new post on the bbPress side? Maybe that’s a work around?
I have to say that while I may not agree with some of the politics around the 1.0 release, the amount of effort Sam has put into 1.0, especially over the past few months, is simply amazing and very impressive. Converting the entire bbPress core to use the WordPress core was not a trivial task.
To motivate user interaction (sign up), the best approach is to do something like this:
http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/talk
Where for non-logged in users, you display the comment field to post a reply. But once you click submit, it asks you to login/register.
I talked about this in a previous post –>
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-anyone-to-post-to-bbpress-including-non-logged-in-visitors
is it possible link, for each registered user, the link to the relative profile on bbpress ?
This is the closest plugin, I think:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/force-login/
Maybe it could be adapted to do what you described?
Andrew, I just converted a test install of phpBB 3.05 to bbPress 1.0.1 without any problems.
“Weigh in”? Geez, putting your own opinion forward doesn’t turn life into a wrestling match.
I could have explained better. The woman in question doesn’t understand the concept of the Gravatar being in one place and therefore easy to change. As far as she’s aware, sites you give your email to have access to that email, and things virtually attached to it. As an example, I have people who think you can’t use the same name with a different email service provider because once used they think their name is ‘taken’ on the entire Internet. They see ‘Bob Jones’ refused in Hotmail, and are offered ‘Bob Jones482’ and take it, then think ‘Bob Jones482’ can’t be used elsewhere.
We all have varying opinions on the Gravatar/Core issue and others, but it’s no big deal in the end, is it? After all, if it comes to the point where 0.9 doesn’t do what somebody wants me to do for them, then there are many other options. We’re all very happy with 0.9 right now though, so all’s smiles. 
I run a forum (bbPress 1.01, thanks!) were I’d like to motivate visitors to register.
Could someone please let me know how could I limit the number of posts visible to guests (not logged users) to, say, 5 and end it with “There is more posts here, if you want to see them, please login/register”
I have successfully integrated the two platforms and the setup works well. But I would really want to resolve the following issues :
a) While bbPress is super fast, the forums on BuddyPress site aren’t that responsive. Is it normal and is it due to the XML-RPC mechanism? Any solution?
b) Also the bbPress forums on BuddyPress don’t offer options like “EDIT” or “DELETE” etc. How can I have these options on BuddyPress side?
Any help would be appreciated…
I struggled with this beast until I hacked it into submission.
Have a look here to see what I did:

Hope it helps someone!
That works too, @buddha trance There’s no ‘upgrade’ with 1.0.1 so you’re not missing anything.
For WordPress:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); echo '?' . filemtime( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/style.css'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" />
For bbPress:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); echo '?' . filemtime( bb_get_active_theme_directory() . '/style.css'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" />
Creates a unique number (based on time) after the filename which is automatically updated if make a change to your stylesheet.
Hey all,
I have noticed since I installed bbpress, the topic-tags are pushed down below the topic-info section when the topic title is long. This is certainly a simple CSS issue, but I am wondering if that is the desired functionality or just a bug.
Example here: http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/sms-offer-text-fit-to-414141-for-a-free-redbox-code
Thanks,
Mike

See https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.7#WordPress_Upgrader – “All file operations are performed as the user that owns the files, not as the web server’s user. All files are set to 0644 and all directories are set to 0755, and writable by only the user and readable by everyone else, including the web server.”
Regarding the phoning home “with all your install info” – according to the docs, the only info sent is your version and locale. I haven’t checked this myself.
Most WordPress users find the “automatic” upgrade very useful, and most bbPress users would too. The sooner it’s available the better, in my opinion, though I don’t know how much work is required to port it from WordPress.
The localization for bbPress front end is available. The admin panel/installation remains in English. It features correct plurals + correct month namings.
Get it @ http://vulvodynia.pl/wp-content/upload/var/tlumaczenie.html
There probably are still some mistakes, so use with care. The user noun “użytkownik” is changed to (female) “użytkowniczka” so it could be used primarly for women forums.
Ipstenu, currently when I upgrade, I skip the part where I have to recreate the bb-config file through the installer, and just keep the old one. It seems to work fine that way, or am I missing something that a new installation would do?
Basically, this is what I do:
1 – Deactivate all plugins
2 – Keep ‘my templates’, ‘my plugins’, bb-config.php, .htaccess
3 – Delete everything else and replace with the new files
4 – Go to admin dashboard and reactivate all plugins.
Seems to work fine.
