The password in the database is encrypted. So, if you just pasted the plain text into the password field in the database, it won’t work.
What version of bbPress are you using, and are you integrated with WordPress?
Which avatar plugin are you using, and what version of bbPress did you install?
Except it’s not what ‘everyone’ wants 
People who want an integrated forum/blog may want that, but then it’s a whole new measure of pain when one half upgrades. And they’re getting there (with things like BuddyPress), but bbPress is a forum. That’s it. It happens to integrate with WP, but that’s not all it is.
Integration into a existing wordpress theme, is just what evryone wants .. So, why the developers dont listen to the people who uses this software, beats me! 
Its just on of the main raisons i dont install bbPress anymore, no at all integration with the theme stuff
That would be because it’s a duplication of the theme, and not ‘deep’ integration.
I was able to resolve my problem.
Apparently, when I reset what I thought was an irrelevant password on my ISP – my ‘mySQL’ user password changed as well.
I reset my password, and updated my bb-config.php file with the new info – and all of my bbPress users are now back again.
Now – does anyone know how I can encrypt my password again in the file?
Hey,
i just found this great forum and integrated it in my wordpress, with help from the video guide.
I have succesfully set up all cookie stuff, and now i want to display my forum wich is located on mywebsite.com/forum/ in my wordpress blog page. Like on this website.
Can anyone tell me how to do it? I didn’t find informations about.
greetings
I’m having the weirdest problem with Firefox and logging in on a fresh bbpress installation. In Firefox, after logging in, any previously viewed page still shows the login form rather than showing that you are logged in until I hard refresh the page. I’ve tested this on multiple computers with various OS, and it’s the same on all, IE logs in fine, Firefox needs a refresh. Somehow I think this is a server configuration issue, as I haven’t seen this on any other BBPress installation, but it’s odd the behaviour only shows in Firefox and wouldn’t know where to start looking if it really is a server issue.
I started with an alpha 1.0 installation for integration with WP 2.7 and was having the same issue, so I tried a standalone installation 0.9.0.4 the other day and continue to have this behaviour.
That one line of code worked for me. I’ve been at this since Jan. Luv ya, man!
What sort of server are you on? Can any other applications send email from there?
To avoid the problems with the email for now, you could install the instant password plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/
You guys and gals do a great job by the way.
I installed bbPress 1.06Beta and WP 2.7.1 on a GoDaddy server with PHP5.x and mySQL5. The WP blog is in the root directory and bbPress is under it in /forums/ directory. I followed the integration videocast exactly and everything ran smoothly. Except for the life of me I can not figure out why the cookies are not working. The only thing I can see irregular, is that one will log me out of the other. And this is what I put in the bb-config.
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.mysite.com’);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);
Can anyone tell me how to get Swift to work?? I need to get my bbPress forum up and running asap for a client. I too am pretty new to php (for the past year or so) and bbPress so I am a little lost. I have my files uploaded to my server, just now how do I make it so that all my email authentication’s are sent through it??
Thanks!
Okay….let’s imagine for a minute that I’m 10 years old.
LOL Can you explain how I would do that? Where do I place addslashes? In phpbbtobbpress.php? If so where? I’m really not good at this. It’s completely Greek to me.
Hello!
I’ve integrated the WP 2.7.1 and bbpress 0.9.4.
Right now it seems like it working. But something not right anyway. Login/Logout working just fine. My only problem is when I log in to the bbpress as Administrator I can’t see any settings, plugins, etc.
All I can see in /bb-admin
Dashboard Users and Manage tabs.
Nothing else
Can somebody help me? Please, what I need to check and where I can fix it?
What I did wrong?
yeah you need to use the addslash function to insert data in your db…
I think you need to edit the phpbbtobbpress.php
When I tried to convert my forum, I got this error:
General Error

Do you know what the problem might be? Maybe it’s an easy fix, but I’m a novice. Thank you.
Some people have make bbPress work with “tiny”mce
https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/tinymce
Good news, Sam has backported the fix from 1.0 into 0.9 also.
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1059#comment:2
You can either download the 0.9 branch version or wait for 0.9.0.5
The “welcome email” (just really the password) message is sent via bb_send_pass which is sadly hard coded in registration-functions.php without any filters or actions to affect it.
The non-emailed registration success message is in the register-success.php theme template which can be edited.
However like all things bbPress, there is always a way around limitations, it’s just a bit more complex than it should be.
The “send password” trigger is done inside of the pluggable bb_new_user function which can be completely replaced, or supplemented.
To replace the function, you could copy it right out out pluggable.php and put it into a mini-plugin and edit away. The part that needs to be changed is near the end where it says bb_send_pass( $user_id ... ) You would basically copy how the bb_send_pass function works and replace the text inside.
It would be ever so slightly easier but probably more messy for the new user to send an additional email beyond the password email via the do_action('bb_new_user', $user_id, $password); trigger.
The question I’d like to know is can one use Facebook Connect to login to bbpress? So if I had a bbpress installation on my site, instead of users signing up in order to post, they could just use Facebook Connect.
Any examples of sites already doing this? Or do you know of any other forum software that has implemented it?
Ok m8, finally i have users integrated!
but what’s now? All my old forums users disapear since im using wp_users… LOL!
There is some way to use bbpress users table in wp?
Thanx in advance!
Alright, so good news, it’s all working. I actually ended up including bb-load into my sites login script, then calling the login function when a successful login happened on my site, this then set cookies for my site and bbPress. I also have it so that when a successful registration takes place on my site it also inserts the user into the bbPress users database with the proper information. I snagged the MD5 password plugin for bbPress, modified it to change passwords to sha1 (which is also what my site uses).
Then I snagged the freshly baked cookies plugin for bbpress so that it also sets WordPress cookies. I got the external DB auth plugin for WordPress so that it uses the bbPress users table for authentication. I’ve killed registrations through WordPress and bbPress…so you can only register through my site. So now it works that a user registers and logs in through my site, and when they have a successful login they can use my site and WordPress and bbPress.
Thanks for the help!
Since I don’t have much to loose – I just started with the blog and the forum – I went with alpha. Everything went smoothly and I have already made my first post.
All in all, I do like this bbPress thing. Not intimidating, intuitive, help is there when you need it.
