I don’t know what is going on but my replies are being deleted every time. Please mods, stop it…i’m trying to find a answer to my problem.
Johnhiler, I deactivated all the plugins but the problem persists.
How can I reset the installation? I mean, the wordpress and bbpress tables are now one aren’t they? I think that’s how I installed it in the first place. How can I start over from scratch with the forum installation?

Brad
The newest 0.9 branch should have it fixed. Since 1.0 already has this fixed I assume you are using 0.9
So try upgrading to this version of 0.9
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2081/branches/0.9?old_path=%2F&format=zip
I’m attempting to install bbPress on a completely fresh site, latest WPmu and bbPress and have php5 and I’m getting the same message.
please help!

Hello,
I’m trying to set up a BuddyPress site.
The instructions for integrating bbPress state:
5. Head to the Admin area (/bb-admin) and then the settings menu. Check the “Enable XML-RPC” option.
Also check the “Enable Pingbacks” option just below.
There is no XML-RPC option on the settings page. Did I miss something during the installation?
Yes they are done calling them alphas
though I definitely disagree with skipping of the beta label.
It won’t be a few weeks, more like a few days I think, unless I misunderstood.
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2081

Thanks _ck_ for the info.
Just to make sure I understand correctly … ALPHA #7 will be bbPress 1.0 rc1, right.
I’m eagerly awaiting the announcement. Hope to hear it in the next few weeks
bbPress 1.0 rc1 will be announced shortly,
aka 1.0 alpha 7, Sam has decided to jump the beta test phase.
I don’t want people to use 1.0 on live sites because you can never go back to 0.9 once you upgrade. There is always an upgrade path, there is no downgrade. It is very tedious for plugin developers to keep up with radical changes in the alpha development, bbPress 1.0 is a different creature internally than 0.9
You can read more about my reasons here.

No, I don’t use any plugins.
Also, you said:
>> “Now that there are options to use bbPress 0.9 with WP 2.7 there’s no excuse to use the alphas. “
That seems to imply that you do NOT want people to start using the ALPHA. Why?
Shouldn’t bbPress be pushing developers to start using the ALPHA in non-production settings to hunt down bugs.
Okay, I’ve managed to figure some of it out, I’m using:
<br />
<pre><code><?php $posts = get_thread( $topic->topic_id, $page ); //pulls posts fo each topic?>
<li <?php topic_class(); ?> style="border: 1px solid green;">
<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>
<ul class="TopicStarterInfo">
<li><?php post_author_avatar(); ?></li>
<li><?php post_author_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php post_author_title(); ?>
<li><?php printf( __('Posted %s ago'), bb_get_post_time() ); ?> </li>
<li><?php echo $bb_post->forum_id;?></li>
</ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>
But its pulling all the post authors. I think I need to limit to the first one, but I’m not exactly sure how to do that.
Edit: figured it out from: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/separating-the-first-post-of-each-topic#post-21808
using:
<?php $bb_post = $posts[0]; unset($posts[0]); $del_class = post_del_class();?>
instead of the foreach.
Hm, when I set
$unread_posts['indicate_last_login']=false;
tracking of new posts stops and all topics appear as read. 
Does there have to be an actual logout of bbPress to see results?
Which is not a good option cause most users won’t log out (untill the cookie expires).
Today I did the reverse integration of an existing WordPress blog (2.7.1) and BBPress forum (0.9.4). I described my plans here. With some help from bobbyh and a lot of digging into these forums, things worked out well.
Here are the steps (all but the final 2 are database operations, which I did using phpMyAdmin):
- I didn’t need to do backups because I was using a test site, but if you are trying this, don’t go any further without full backups of everything.
- Copied the “bb_users” and “bb_usermeta” tables from the BBPress database to the WordPress database. I was a bit worried that the row sizes weren’t exactly the same in the destination copy, but as it turns out, that wasn’t an issue.
- Added a “user_activation_key” field to the copy of “bb_users” to ensure that the schema matched my current “wp-users” table in the WordPress database.
- Renamed the “wp_users” and “wp_usermeta” tables to “wp_users_old” and “wp_usermeta_old” respectively.
- Renamed the new “bb_users” and “bb_usermeta” tables to “wp_users” and “wp_usermeta” respectively.
- Added WordPress admin rights and metadata to the new admin user. To do this I ran the following query:
INSERT INTO wp_usermeta (user_id, meta_key, meta_value) VALUES (‘1’, ‘wp_capabilities’, ‘a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}’);
- Added WordPress user metadata for the rest of the users (since I’m using the BBPress user tables as the starting point they know nothing about WP capabilities). Here is the query:
INSERT INTO wp_usermeta (user_id, meta_key, meta_value) SELECT user_id, ‘wp_capabilities’ AS meta_key, ‘a:1:{s:10:”subscriber”;b:1;}’ AS meta_value from wp_usermeta WHERE user_id NOT IN (SELECT user_id from wp_usermeta WHERE meta_key = ‘wp_capabilities’) GROUP BY user_id;
- Changed the user_id references in the “wp_posts” and “wp_comments” tables so that they pointed to the correct users (you need to do this because equivalent users don’t necessarily have the same ID in the previously separate WordPress and BBPress databases). Here are the queries I ran:
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_author=NEW_ID WHERE post_author = OLD_ID
UPDATE wp_comments SET user_id=NEW_ID WHERE user_id = OLD_ID
NOTE that you need to think carefully about the order in which you do these changes. You don’t want to change a user’s ID to one that already exists in the WordPress table.
- Installed superann’s plugin to downgrade WP 2.7.1’s cookie handling for compatibility with BBP 0.9.4: http://superann.com/2009/02/26/wordpress-26-27-bbpress-09-cookie-integration-plugin/
- Told BBPress to find its user data in the new WordPress user tables. This is done in the BBPress admin page for WordPress integration: […]/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php. You need to follow the instructions carefully. In particular, note that the WordPress database secret should be copied from the current WordPress setting and not vice versa.
Some other notes:
- This is not something to do in a rush. I checked the results of each step carefully before moving on. This included browsing the database and, later in the process, logging in to the blog and forum to check whether things were working as expected.
- This worked for me. Your mileage may vary.
matiaspunx I am receiving the same error as gavinj77, I tried to download your fix at http://www.mediafire.com/?nmmymgg0z0j but the file was no longer available. Could you kindly repost the updated file?
Thanks,

You need to provide more information than that. Are you trying to hide the whole section where the tags are, or are you trying to hide just specific tags? Are you trying to remove all tag functionality from your site altogether? Also, what version of bbPress are you talking about?
To anticipate the question: secret keys match each other
Hello!
I use 2.6.3 version of WP and I just installed bbPress 0.9.
I also use Freshly Baked Cookies plugin (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/) to allow bbPress using WP cookies.
What I get now is a strange situation: when I log into WP then I become logged out from bbPress and when I log into bbPress then I become logged out from WP, so I can never be logged in both of them. Everything else work fine.
My WP works on http://www.subdomain.domain.com/ address and bbPress works on http://www.subdomain.domain.com/bbpress/ address. I have fulfilled all the integration instructions.
What is also strange that when I log in WP then get these cookies:
– wordpress_logged_in_[HASH 1]: admin%7C[HASH 2]
– wordpress_test_cookie: WP+Cookie+check
– wpfsession: [10 digits number]
– wp-admin wordpress_[HASH 1]: admin%7C[HASH 3]
– wp-content/plugins wordpress_[HASH 1]: admin%7C[HASH 3]
…and when I log in bbPress then I get similar but [HASH 2] is the same as [HASH 3].
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance!
hello
BBcode Buttons is showing but is not working !!
and BBcode Lite for bbPress is not working !!
I want bbcode
Iam sorry i do not speak English well ..
Its working much better, but sometimes unread post are not highlights…
yes my theme is custom .. http://renkei.fr/bbpress/
e: the topic aren’t highlights when i’m not the autor i think ..
It’s probably a bug when starting a topic that immediately gets flagged by akismet.
Adding a post to an existing topic will probably just come back with a missing post.
Since bbpress sets the status to “2”, it will be treated like a deleted post/topic to the end user. Moderators and Admin will see deleted post indicators.
I’m using bbPress 0.9.2. When my posters have their posts flagged as spam by Aksimet, they see the following error message:
<h1>Not Found</h1>
The requested URL /topic/ was not found on this server.
<address>Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at [domainname] Port 80</address><address>
</address>
When my users see this, they assume that their posts didn’t go through and then they re-post their message again – and then get the same error message again. They usually repeat the re-posting from 2-10 times, before giving up…
I’d greatly prefer it if these users got a nice little message that said something like, “Your post has been put into moderation. We will review it shortly!”
Is giving an error message after an Akismet positive result standard behavior for bbPress?
Seems there is lots of ham being incorrectly sent from bbPress as spam. This may be having a knock on effect elsewhere. I’m trying to track down the problem with these false reports from bbPress at the moment.
Ok it seems the only solution to my problem would be to reinstall everything.
It’s ok since the forum have not been used yet, it’s hidden in a folder.
How can I “reset” the forum installation and reinstall bbpress?
Or maybe try and install a different forum solution. Would a different solution clash with the new database tables that have been created by bbpress?
_ck_ – I’m using your skip-akismet plugin and thank goodness! At least my authors/moderators/admins are spared this.
Akismet is going absolutely bonkers on all nine of my bbpress and WordPress installs… it just started a few days ago. I thought maybe it was connected to skip-akismet, but some of the *press installs aren’t using skip-akismet and they are still having problems!
I assume you aren’t using any of my plugins?
Because I won’t be supporting alpha 7+ this year.
Now that there are options to use bbPress 0.9 with WP 2.7
there’s no excuse to use the alphas.
Sorry about that, I will have to look at it this weekend.
What version of bbpress are you using.
What is VIP Users?
I think the recommendation is to use the Hidden Forums plugin rather than the Private Forums plugin:
