There should be a pulldown on the bottom of the page that let’s you move topics? There’s a nice description of what it looks like here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-move-a-topic-to-another-forum#post-28004
Does the pulldown show up for you when you’re logged in as keymaster/admin/moderator?
Hi All,
I am running bbPress “Brubeck” version 0.9.0.4. However, it seems like bbpress does not have a built-in function to move posts from one forum to another forum. This seems like such a basic necessity for a forum platform to have. Does anyone know of a plugin that can accomplish this and will work with bbpress version 0.9.0.4?
Thannk you,
SupraTT

No, I hadn’t tried asking in the WPMU forums. I just went ahead and uploaded the non-alpha release. I’m running into a situation where the installation is asking me for a Secret Key, though, and all I have are:
define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘…’);
define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘…’);
define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘…’);
define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘…’);
define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ‘…’);
define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘…’);
define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘…’);
instead. Also, what the “database secret” is, I don’t know either.
Thanks!
Now, before you say “it isn’t”, I’m not looking at the forum software as a whole. My plan is to make all of the important features of phpBB available to bbPress users.
So far I can think of a few things:
- The Cash Mod – I accepted this project over a year ago and I still haven’t released the first version.
- A private messaging feature that doesn’t have 24512 security vulnerabilities
- A full role manager
bbPress shouldn’t be tightly integrated with WordPress. There are too many things that won’t work. Try removing the line of code that includes WordPress into bbPress.
/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=bbpress_moderation_suite_modlog is the only place moderation logs are. I know the way I talk about it is a bit confusing.
bycbyc there are only a handful of active WPMU users here,
did you try asking on the WPMU forum or did they send you here…?
1. Ah thanks for adding that!! Boo for bbPress having no hook for moving topics…
2. Ah so sorry to have missed that… 
One last thought: what do you think of merging the various moderation logs into a single page? As a keymaster/mod, it’d be a lot easier to monitor what’s going on on the site if all the logs are on the same page.
Or maybe as an alternative, the various moderation logs could all have convenient links to each other?
ps I owe you a contribution – please email me at john at weddingbee dot com, and we can coordinate!
Just installed the latest development version on 0.9 – it looks like it’s working!!
Two quick questions:
1. Where is the moderation log for moving/deleting topics?
I activated all four parts of the moderation suite and then moved one topic and deleted another. Then I started digging around for a moderation log, to see if they showed up… I found a moderation log here, under the users tab:
/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=bbpress_moderation_suite_modlog
I didn’t see a log of the topic moving or deletion though… are those logged somewhere else? I must be looking in the wrong place.
2. How do users Report another user
I didn’t see a place where users could report another user… is there a tag for that I should stick in the template?
I *really* love the idea of being able to warn and ban users – for now, I’ve been PM’ing users manually which is a real drag! Thanks for porting this to 0.9!!

Downloaded and installed version 0.9.0.4 of bbPress, into WP 2.7.1.
Thanks for the help.
Hi Quick question regarding WordPress and BBPress integration of users. Can this be done across different domains? Say I have WordPress MU installed on Doman.com, and from there i have Blog1 installed on Domain2.com and Blog 2 installed on Domain3.com, and then BBPress installed on Domain4.com, would the users still be able to be sync’d across the domains?
All of these are running off of the same server, and Multi-Site is running on WordPress MU. Can users be sync’d between MU and BBPress this way?
(I know it sounds horribly convoluted. This is for an event that’s being put together, and while we don’t want users to have to register to N sites, we do want them all to be separated out like I described above.)
Edit: I should add that I’m not concerned about whether or not a user stays logged in when they switch from one to another, but just a shared user table or automatic user syncing is what we’re looking for.
any real help on this forum?
To preface, I know nothing about bbpress other than it’s installed with my new buddypress setup.
I have run vbulletin on numerous websites for years now so that is what i am familiar with.
As my ultimate plans include using wordpressmu/buddypress/forums, can someone let me know why I should consider using bbpress?
Are there features that it has that other software does not provide?
Please, I am not being antagonistic here, it’s a real question.
so far my vbulletin setup has the following:
1. completely bridged to wordpressmu so that all registration/logins/sessions etc are controlled by vbulletin for the entire system. Meaning you login to vb, you are logged into wp automatically etc..
2. vbulletin uses wordpress theme header/footer etc. It’s not static, meaning that if the header in wp changes it auto changes in vb, and NO, I am not using iframes, that’d be just plain stupid.
thanks for any info provided.
I met the same issue, I installed a clean WordPress 2.7.1 and bbPress is 1.0Aphla 6, the integration during the installation is smooth, and I can single sign on between WordPress and bbPress.
However, I can’t post any topics with the msg: “This topic has been closed”.
Is there anyone from Dev team could help?
Okay, I’ve done the first pass at compatibility. If you feel ambitious, you can download the Development Version. If not, you can wait until the next alpha.
Hi Alberto here,
I need some help installing my Avatars and Upload Photos in my BBPress Forum. Can someone guide me on what to do?? Do I need to go into a template to add code to make the avatars display?
The plugin must autoload. If you are activating it manually something is very wrong.
Leading underscore must be in the plugin directory’s root.
bbPress has that limitation, underscores cannot be in sub-directories.
Hi All,
I am getting a decent about of comments to my WordPress news blog. Problem is that these posts are scattered over many posts, so does not seem to be much activity.
Could bbpress be the solution? I want it to be possible for users to overview the discussion at the various news articles.
If you have seen a solution on an other website, please send me a link.
I have also looked at a integration of WordPress and vbulletin, but seems like a solution this is not without problems.
Hope to hear from you
Michael
