i’ve deleted login, registration and edit profile on bbpress, so i’m using only the wp plugin to reverse password to md5…seems work good
Thank you. I will try that.
Still bbPress should count pages right, so I believe it’s a bug…
Rather than editing or removing core files, I wrote this simple plugin:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Disable Registrations
Description: This plugin disables access to registration.php and blocks any registrations.
Plugin URI: http://simonwheatley.co.uk/bbpress/disable-registrations
Author: Simon Wheatley
Author URI: http://simonwheatley.co.uk/
Version: 0.1
*/
// Fires every time bbPress inits, a bit ick but it's super quick string ops
// (which is what PHP is good at).
function da_disable_registrations()
{
// Shame there isn't a hook to grab before the new user is registered on register.php
// In the absence of that, we will check whether we're on register.php
if ( ! da_str_ends_with( strtolower( $_SERVER[ 'PHP_SELF' ] ), 'register.php' ) ) return;
// We are on register.php? Stop executing (with a message).
bb_die( "Registration is not allowed on this website. Please contact the site administrators." );
exit; // Never reached, unless bb_die fails for some freaky reason
}
// Checks whether string a ends with string b
function da_str_ends_with(& $str, $end)
{
return ( substr( $str, - strlen( $end ), strlen( $end ) ) == $end );
}
add_action( 'bb_init', 'da_disable_registrations' );
?>
Do I use a WordPress Database so that BBpress shares with WordPress or do I create a new BBpress Database. If new BBpress Database what version of MSQL is it?
You mentioned this was your own machine. Is this a localhost installation? What server software are you installing this on?
I don’t see what the problem is here. If you like 1.0 and like bleeding edge, use 1.0
No one is asking for a single new feature in 0.9, just if there is a security issue found, release a fix. Such fixes usually take a trivial amount of time to produce once a problem emerges.
Some people who make money charging by the hour enjoy the idea of constant changes, upgrades, rebuilding things from scratch, etc. because it keeps them busy and in business. Other people have better things to do, and having made a significant investment in time to setup a working forum with bbPress over the past few years or they don’t have the extra performance required to run 1.0, can just give up all the new “features” in 1.0 and just keep using 0.9 while they plan a migration in their spare time.
All I am saying is if a security problem is found with 0.9 it should be addressed until the end of 2010. Based on WP and bbPress history that will probably happen once or twice a year. Otherwise feel free to let 0.9 gather dust.
Something else to consider is now that 1.0 is based on the WordPress core (ala BackPress) it is potentially vulnerable to any new attack vector that is found in WordPress (including at least one serious issue currently in the wild) while bbPress 0.9 might remain immune.
@vlovers , would you kindly share how you fixed it? Thanks a bunch
bbPress has several fathers. 
Matt did a lot of the early work… and Michael (mdawaffe) took over for a while too:
https://trac.bbpress.org/report/6
Some people simply won’t be able to use 1.0 on shared hosts with several plugins. Their host will terminate their account for excessive resource use
WordPress is much more resource heavy than bbPress in this regard. This is the only place I think we might have a use for an output caching plugin like wp-super-cache.
I resolved this problem by adding “./” to the file names “admin-header.php” and “admin-footer.php” in the file /bbpressforumname/bb-admin/includes/functions.bb-admin.php. They appear on lines 6 and 13 of that file. The modified version of the first 14 lines of the file should read…
<?php
function bb_get_admin_header()
{
do_action( ‘bb_admin-header.php’ );
include( ‘./admin-header.php’ );
do_action( ‘bb_get_admin_header’ );
}
function bb_get_admin_footer()
{
do_action( ‘bb_admin-footer.php’ );
include( ‘./admin-footer.php’ );
}
perhaps this could be added as a bug fix for 1.0.1.
update to my above post : I finally somehow solved it myself…. Thanx to bbpress community for presenting wonderful piece of coding summarized into the poetry of bbpress forum…
What cookie plugin of wordpress do you have installed ? You could use only one login form like me, i’m using only the wordpress login form.
I got it to work, the converter did a great job, thanks wmnasef!
I was trying to do the conversion on fairly standard VPS with a typical LAMP stack, I’m not really sure why it didn’t work on there.
But after that I tried the conversion on my Media Temple Grid Service account and it worked fine. (The forum is quite small, 7000 posts) So if someone else runs into a similar problem, try a different web host or a local web server, maybe you’ll have better luck too!
I ran into a similar issue with paging. I forget how I fixed it – I think maybe I switched to this plugin for pagination?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/
I found an answer here ( https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/check-for-topic-pages-gt-1 ) that works well enough. It included a nonlinking page 1, and a next button, but I’ve hid those and only show the extra pages.
So was this issue supposed to have been resolved in the 1.0 final release? I just installed it and am having the exact issue. When I login to bbPress, it logs me out of WordPress. I have searched several posts, and ensured that the cookie AUTH keys are all the same in WP and bbPress config files. The home site URL is the same as well. I even installed the WP bbPress Integration plugin as recommended, and added their extra code to the wp-config file.
Anyone else still experiencing thing? I hate to bring up an old topic, so if it’s been resolved somehow, lemme know!
Ah, I am using 1.0 final. Is there a master list of template tags / functions somewhere like they’ve got for WP? In WP any time I need something I can usually just go track it down in their codex but with bbPress I always feel lost. I see on that page it says to use the topic page links function. Where can I get some info on that?
can some1 help me with cookies integration between wordpress 2.8 and bbpress 1.0 ? user logged on forum is not logged on blog…. I correctly set SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, AUTH_KEY, auth_salt, logged_in_salt……. Only thing I could n’t set during integration is secure auth” cookie salt as I can’t find this anywhere neither in wp-config.php nor in options.php of wordpress settings…….. I have also used bbpress integration plugin for wordpress and copied the text suggested by this plugin in wp-config.php
I believe that functionality is built into version 1.0.
Here is the plugin version, for version 0.9:

Which bbPress version are you using?
Sam mentioned yesterday it would be aut0-generated sometime today:
The pot will be auto-generated within 24 hours and will be here:

It is possible to make a theme that does not use tables. bbPress is very flexible with themes. I am not aware if there exists one though…
But it uses tables by default because the list of topics and forums is in fact tabular data. I think it has nothing to do with table-based web-design of the 90’s (if that’s your concern).
i see i don’t have the cookie for forum/bb-admin
instead if i login on bbpress it’s all ok
