Thanks for the compliment!
Of course 
If you have experience with WordPress theming, it’s even easier. Took me a couple hours to make my forum match my site.
HParticipant
I see now in the script that it checks
if ($user_type == USER_FOUNDER)
However, according to the table, USER_FOUNDER is not a user type. User Type is set with IDs. My user type is for instance 3…
HParticipant
I have converted my forum now, without any major problems.
However, my user account isn’t set to Keymaster… That’s a problem for me now, as I would like to do some admin changes.
Can anybody help me?
@helgetry: What problem are you having?
HParticipant
Is it possible to do a fix for this? I just can’t go through the whole DB to change all the special characters.
thanks will download shortly
so the themes can be tailored to match my existing web site?
Sure, I use it with it today. You just add it to your theme where you want it.
You can manually mark spam posts with my “Mass Edit” plugin.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-edit/
There are two email notification plugins available, one is the “post notification”
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/auto-add-favorites/
and the other is my “subscribe to topics” (which is not robust yet).
Sweet! Thanks for the recommendations, ck! I think I actually found mass edit at some point and downloaded it somewhere to my desktop. Unfortunately I have hundreds of files all over my desktop and I forgot what it was called. Post notification I’m using; I think I modified it at some point to not send on your own posts.
Hey detective, are you the owner of the pm plugin? It would be great to get independent enhancements bundled into the one plugin in the repository!
I am looking around at foum software.
My main priorities are:
Must be able to use adsense with it
Must be highly customisable
Can adsense be used with bbpress?
Thanks
Also, thanks for the welcome, ck! I do more theme customizations for WP but usually do it all the quick and dirty way, cramming things into function.php file rather than packaging it up nicely, and I often just hack features into other plugins to get it all working the way I want. Right now as far as bbPress is concerned on my to-do list is to find a good solution for manually marking spam posts, work email notification into the pm plugin, and set up the post notification to send email by default. Just haven’t had time to look into all that yet… if there are any existing solutions/patches, please let me know! Otherwise I’ll probably look into it at some point and contribute what I can (if anyone else is interested).
Great! I was going to work on that in a few weeks
First post updated to reflect the two new plugins available to allow WP 2.6, 2.7 or 2.8 to work with bbPress 0.9
You can manually mark spam posts with my “Mass Edit” plugin.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/

That’s a really sweet design!
I just wanted to share the experience I have gathered while working, designing and pushing bbPress so as to not look like a generic bbPress instance. My latest work are these forums (the rest of the site is WordPress), and if you have the time please consider registering to be able to play a bit with the design from a member-perspective (enjoyed better in Safari). I would appreciate your feedback.
I am really captivated by the possibilities bbPress offers; but I also feel the obscurity of these possibilities are somehow hindering proper development in the design department. The lack of a proper and exhaustive codex, readable for theme authors —without having to dig into core files—, remains as the biggest obstacle. I am all for contributing, should it be possible, in this way or another.
I’ve installed bbPress 1.0.6. alpha and integrate it with WordPress 2.7.1. Everything is fine.
But there is one big problem:
When user with IE is registered, he can use forum for 2 or 3 days, after that he cannot open no one topic. After User is log in and click on topic link page loads and there is error pop-up, that says (translated to English):
Can not load page –there is url to topic page–
Operation aborted
With “OK” button.
After clicking “OK” there is IE page, that says “Internet Explorer can not view this page”.
In Firefox, Chrome, K-Meleon and Opera everything is fine.
You can test it on: http://oakdaily.ru/forum
Sorry for my English.
Thanks johnmc! I worked hard on the site; haven’t spent nearly as much time with bbPress as I have with WP so I kind of did the absolute minimum to start and was lazy about the cookie integration that didn’t work out of the box… until someone else on my forums complained…
WP and bbPress are running side by side off the same user database, same process to set up as described in the integration thread here. No deep integration, just customized the templates to match. Registrations are routed to WP via a direct link to it in the login-form.php template, which is cool as I use the Register Plus plugin there to customize things a bit. Logins (and outs) are integrated via cookies using the plugin which you can grab here:

Yep, cleared all my cookies and it appears that things work as they should. I haven’t pored over the source too considerably but from what I saw it looks like there are very few dependencies, which makes sense as I’m guessing WP wants you to be able to integrate sign on systems without jumping through hoops.
My sites aren’t “deeply” integrated, so it would be great to get some feedback from anyone who tries this on a deep integration.
Plugin here:
http://superann.com/2009/02/26/wordpress-26-27-bbpress-09-cookie-integration-plugin/
In retrospect I shouldn’t have put this at v1.0, but I expect its useful life might be short anyway once bbPress 1.0 is released…
Oh and by the way Ann, welcome to bbPress (though I see you were around here a few months ago for a short bit).
Seems like you know how to code so that’s great to see, hopefully you’ll get addicted to bbPress too and churn out some plugins 
It’s strange that I didn’t think to downgrade WP 2.7 to match bbPress 0.9 but I guess I overthought the process and figured the new “auth” cookie method would be required in the admin area on WP so it would break. I assume you have tested your admin access in WordPress after your changes?
WordPress 2.7 added three new kinds of cookies, surprised it doesn’t break anything when you force it backwards. Did you delete all of your old cookies on your browser to make sure it wasn’t “cheating” ?
In any case, my new plugin is here and should be downloadable for testing shortly:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/
One plus to the WP downgrade method is it might work with deep integration where mine will definitely not work and should not even be tried that way.
What she did is downgrade the cookie functions in WP 2.7 to the cookie functions from WP 2.5
This takes away the extra auth cookie that WP 2.6-2.8 uses but it should be okay.
There are only 4 functions that need to be replaced.
However I’ve just finished a plugin that does the opposite approach, it allows WP 2.7 to keep it’s cookies and bbPress 0.9 switches to the newer cookie method instead.
On a funny coincidence, I just finished a plugin to make 0.9 work with 2.7 cookies.
But are you saying you downgraded WP 2.7’s cookies into 2.5 cookies to make it work with bbPress by replacing the functions from the WP 2.5 pluggable?
Mine is the opposite approach, it let’s WP 2.7 keep it’s cookies and bbPress uses the logged_in cookie from WP.
I guess either technique is valid. You must have forced the salt to be the same on both sides though.
Yep, same method above works with WP 2.7.1 and bbPress 0.9.0.4. Just tested and there’s full cookie integration.
That looks awesome! Do you have a writeup or even some basic instructions on how you managed to get this working?
WP 2.6 and bbPress 0.9 completely integrated with single sign-ons and offs sitewide. Themes are integrated for a consistent design. Tons of custom and customized plugins with no edits to the core!
