Was a bb-config.php file created in the bbPress directory?
bbPress integration plugin is in the WordPress plugin repository.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
OK, fixed with the “put $bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser_[Insert MD5Hash]’; into the bb-config.php file” hack.
According to the splash page, it’s 0.9.0.4. I’m on BlueHost and that is what the sponsored link loads.
Ok, thanks, so basically at this time there is no way to import forum data into bbpress?
Is there any kind of timeline on when something like this will be integrated, either via a plugin or internal to bbpress? No rush on this end, there’s a lot of customizing I need to do and I have to learn PHP to create some plugins I need, but I don’t want to waste my time if it’s not going to happen.
bbP 0.9.4 & WP (ahem) 2.0.11.
Unfortunately in a position that I can’t upgrade WP at the moment.
bbP is using the WP users table fine, but doubling up on the cookies for some reason.
This thread is pretty old. What versions are you integrating?
For some reason, I’m getting two sets of cookies being set.
Both WordPress and bbPress are setting wordpresspass_ & wordpressuser_ cookies. The domains and paths are identical but the hash part of the key is the different.
Any ideas why WP and bbP might still be out of sync after following the instructions above?
Actually the BBXF plugins have been temporarily removed from bbPress.
This one has been on the back-burner for a while, but hoping to base the first real release on the RSS or ATOM standard somehow. Similar to the way WordPress’ export format is based on RSS.
I’m not sure… but once you’ve successfully imported the data into bbPress, you should be able to upgrade to the final version of bbPress without having to worry about BBXF anymore?
That’s a good idea, I haven’t looked at the release candidates for BBpress… learned long ago to let other people get messy on the bleeding edge of technology 
What’s the chance that the data format will change when the real version 1 is release, anyone?
What version of bbPress are you using?
Exactly what I thought, so I did that twice with everything checked before posting. Any other ideas?
I can’t find the schema online either… but it looks like BBXF is now supported by bbPress v 1.
If you have a working install of the bbPress alpha or RC1, you could export your data from there and figure out the schema from the export?
Hi,
What exactly IS the BBXF format? I can’t find a schema for it and I would like to convert over a decade of forum data from a proprietary system on learnjazzpiano.com into a format that can be imported into bbpress.
Thanks!
Okay, I’ve installed WP 2.8 (beta1) and bbPress RC1. It appears to be integrated together. Except the obvious: my wordpress site has no link for my visitors to click on to go to the bbPress forum. Should I create a “page” which (somehow?) redirects to the bbPress forum? i.e. so that it appears in the middle column of my WP theme?
Thanks,

If you deleted the topic that was tagged with bbPress (it’s the default first post/first topic I believe) then you just need to recount. There is an option there something like “Delete tags with no topics.” If you go through the recount, just check them all and the phantom tag should go away.
@mortiferus, yes that worked for me, however you’d still need:
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.domain.org’);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);
in wp-config.php
AFAIK.
I have a hot tag that appeared at install that persists. The tag is “bbPress” and shares the first line of the Hot Tags with the “legitimate” first tag. There are no documents with this tag and recount has been performed with all options checked. Where is this coming from?
bbpress integration plugin , cant find it. bbpress search comes up with wordpress integration plugin which isnt the same plugin. anyone has link ?
// I tried posting this to my original thread “Missing form field ‘user database password’ during installation” but your system said the topic had been closed (?). Nor could I edit my original posting//
Further…after I tried to proceed, it showed an error (that it could not connect to the database…which you’d expect given that it didn’t have the password). However, after going back to the step 2 page, it showed a condensed version of the page, with tick marks in the various check boxes – the only way to see the data I had entered before was to untick each box and then put the tick back into each.

Hi,
I am installing the RC of bbpress and got to near the bottom of step 2, where I need to enter the wordpress database information (it is in a separate database). There is no field on the form to fill in the ‘User database password’ (under the ‘Separate user database settings’ banner).

It sounds like this similar issue reported with the Subscribe top Topic plugin?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/page/3/#post-3436
Try disabling that plugin, and see if the problem goes away?
I’m seeing a similar issue to dmbware. Install looks ok until I paste the code in from the plug-in and then I can’t log into WPMU. I remove the code from wp-config and I’m OK. Can’t log into bbpress though and it says my password for admin can’t be reset.
