I would recommend starting all over again. Delete your current bbpress directory (I’m assuming this was your first time installing it) and re-upload a fresh new one. Once all of your files are uploaded navigate to that page with your browser. Depending on the name of your bbpress directory you should try to open something like this:
http://www.youwebsitename.com/bbpress
It’ll take you to the introduction page with step one.
What’s the best way to prevent spam user account registration?
I’ve tried the “Human Test for bbPress” plug-in but it seems to stop working with 1.0 RC.
Any other plug-ins out there that are a good way to prevent spam user account registeration?

OK then, you really need to upgrade.
Here’s how I would do it…
- De-integrate cookies, clear out all cookie settings in bbPress/WordPress including hardcoded ones in configs with the exception of you secret keys (BB_AUTH_KEY and friends)
- Upgrade to the latest Trunk of bbPress
- Upgrade to the latest release of the bbPress Integration plugin
- Clear all relevant cookies in your browser
- Setup integration in WordPress first, go to the admin panel for the plugin – use the settings it gives you to use in your wp-config.php file
- Setup integration in bbPress second, if the plugin in WordPress tells you to add a special constant to bb-config.php, do that now too. You’ll need to login to bbPress separately at this stage. Only enter settings into the admin, don’t try to add anything back into your bb-config.php except that one line from the WordPress plugin
- Now you should be good to go again, clear your browser cookies and try various ways to login and logout
Visit the WordPress Codex and search for information on apply_filters().
You can filter that array with a simple plugin.
I’ve been getting this as well, even though the database settings are correct. For two sites on the same server, it’s working for one and not the other.
After the Update to bbPress Version 1.0-rc-3 my problems are gone. I think everyone should test there used plugins, backup and then test the update. Can’t wait for bbPress 1.

Hi ced,
thanks for your post – your hint (phpMyAdmin) was great!
Cookie-Integration works perfekt after the update to Version 1.0-rc-3 and a few changes in phpMyAdmin – without the bbPress integration plugin.
Know what? I got fed up with my hosting service. ;P
I spent the entire morning working on my bbPress implementation, and had an epiphany about ten minutes ago. I asked myself… ‘Why in the name of the seven seas are you using Concentric?’ When I couldn’t come up with a better answer than ‘it’s what I always use’, I whipped out Google, entered the term ‘best wordpress hosting service’, was routed to WordPress’ hosting page, and I just signed up with bluehost.
So… this is now all moot (hopefully). I’m planning on just working on CONTENT after my nameserver updates happen! YAY!!!!!!!
I feel like going on vacation 
Mad idea.

If you read the SMF to bbPress thread you’ll see what machinations were needed. Good luck!

Since I’ve never developed a plugin for bbPress before …
Does anyone mind pointing me in the direction of where I should begin.
I would like to attempt to port WordPress Super Cache (output cache) plugin to bbPress for non-logged in users.
Hi Sam,
Sorry for not being clear.
I’m using object cache and not WP Super Cache.
@Atsutane – I had slightly misunderstood how to use the filters in the Latest Discussion plugin, and I realize I can get closer than I thought with that plugin. However, I don’t think I can get all the way there. The bbld_forum filter seems to be applied to the variables before they have been given values, right? So, you could, as in the example, replace a specific gravatar based on the $user_data variable. But is it possible to get the $forum variable in the same way? What I need is to determine the forum ID within my filter function.
Frooyo – I think the WP Super Cache is just being used on top of WordPress MU, which is the core engine for BuddyPress…
Great, thank you. I hope that will solve my problem.
@r-a-y
Are you using the WP Super Cache (output cache) with success?
If so, I would be EXTREMELY interested in know how you got it to work.
I’m trying to change the post author link which is displayed as ‘Key Master’ (for example) to ‘User profile’. Tried lots of variations having looked through the bbPress template functions file, but can’t get it to work. The top part of my post.php code is this at present;
<div class="threadauthor">
<?php avatarupload_display(get_post_author_id()); ?>
<p>
<strong><?php post_author_link(); ?></strong><br />
<small><?php post_author_title(); ?></small>
</p>
</div>
The post_author_link() line becomes;
<a href="http://mbforum.letsdoo.org/profile/michael">Key Master</a>
I realise I’m just not grasping how the PHP code/functions work, so if anyone thinks, “Oh yeah, all you do is…” I’d be very grateful for an answer.
Hey,
I’m also stuck at a similar stage to some others here, although it seems to be step 0 on the basis that I don’t even see the “let’s get started” link. I have uploaded the files to the server, but cannot find anywhere to go from there. No files appear to do anything positive. If I go to bbpressbb-admininstall.php I get:
Warning: main(BB_PATHbb-admin/class-install.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in domain/html/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php on line 12
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘BB_PATHbb-admin/class-install.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php-4.4.8-1/share/pear’) in domain/html/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php on line 12
I have looked at installing libraries, but can’t find where to start. I know this is starting back at the beginning and I would really rather have worked this out, but I can’t think how to move forward from here.
Thanks for any help.
Rog.
Immelody, just curious if you could give a quick run through of how you were able to apply (or convert) your wordpress theme to bbpress. I’ve been trying to learn how to do it, and so far what I’ve read is to copy the header and footer from wordpress to bbpress. Problem is I’m not that great at programming so it’s a bunch of guess work. I’ve been trying to do it unsuccessfully for about 3 months now…
Sorry to bother you, but if you could help I’d really appreciate it and I’m sure it would help others as well!
Edit: I forgot to mention I have the databases integrated although I’m not sure how I managed that It’s just recreating the theme that is really stumping me.
By going gold, I just meant that the bbPress staff is about to officially declare a release as version 1.0:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#RTM
I personally think that there have been a lot of code changes (and new features) recently, and some extra time to focus as a community on identifying and debugging issues would be really good for the release. But obviously it’s not my call.
After version 1 comes out, a wiki-based codex will be added to the site and we’ll work as a community to get the documentation up. Hopefully there can be more documentation around what functions like bb_permalink are intended to do. I’ll do my best to see if we can’t nail down bb_permalink’s specs asap!
Hope I didn’t say anything to offend… I’m just a bbPress user, trying to help out another user.
There have been significant changes in the file where your errors turned up (exactly around those lines).
There is a good chance that the problem no longer exists, but please give us a bit more info to go on.
That article on the BuddyPress Codex is a little confused.
Are you using WP-Super-Cache (output caching) or an object based cache like the memcached object cache?
WordPress is working great. I had a couple of minor config details on the install, but it went in marvelously.
I know what the problem is. It’s bb_repermalink. It’s creating 404s and endless loops because the code inside it can’t handle the way SunOS sets up it’s system variables. The problem is, I don’t know what the stupid thing is supposed to do, so I cant figure out if the code is fixed or broken (and of course there are exactly zero tech docs on either it or bbPress). There are some REALLY strange regex replace operations in there that frankly look wrong to me, but I don’t know enough about bb at the moment to know how to fix them.
I’m going to completely disable repermalink tomorrow, and see if I can get the rest of the system to work without it. I tried that a bit ago and at least got past the first page. (although it told me, when I clicked on one of the forums it was displaying that the forum didn’t exist. At least that’s better than 404s and infinite loops.)
Not caring about SunOS is shortsighted in my view, and calling the current code ‘Golden’ would be a mistake. What I’m seeing in bb_permalink is going to cause major problems in tons of non-Sun machines, I believe. If they release 1.0 the way it is, I predict it will crash on a large percentage of WP users’ machines and engender a great deal of dissatisfaction as a result.
My 2c, for what it’s worth.
Ah I see you’ve been going back and forth with Sam in trac:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1126
It looks like he moved it into the version 1.5 milestone… not sure what that means priority wise. But it sounded like he was saying that SunOS support isn’t a priority on the official roadmap. But developer support isn’t the only path here – someone may be able to come up with a plugin to add Solaris support! Especially if we can define exactly what the issue is.
Right now probably isn’t the best time to get bandwidth from Sam, since bbPress 1.0 seems to be in the process of going gold in the next week or so.
Just out of curiosity – does WordPress have any issues running on Solaris?
Yes – Correct. I have tried it several ways. As per your example, I renamed the folders to “mikes-kakumei” and received the same error.
What is the reason the file cannot be edited in “bb-templates” I made a crude attempt at it today at http://www.volleyballnh.com/forums/bbpress/
