Hi chrishajer,
Thanks for the suggestion…….
but they are bound to change sometime in future.
I also read your article. Thanks I was bit struggling with this thing also(getting WP info in BBpress). But even if I get the information, how would i construct the Permalink structure of the WP.
I have been following the WP code to write my own functions, but they seem to go pretty deep and I dont know whether creating a copy of these functions in BBpress would be safe or not.
Hey All,
I posted this here…
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/
but was wondering if anyone else had the same problem. I set up the instant password plugin and tried to set up a test accound but kept on getting a ‘password is too short’ message – no matter what I type in.
Thanks!
There is no restart required for modifying an .htaccess file: Apache reads that for every access.
The permalinks are not related to PHP4 vs PHP5.
The permalink stuff is definitely 100% right now, at least for the 0.9.x series.
I’m assuming you made the change in the admin to turn on the permalinks, in conjunction with adding the .htaccess rewrite rules?
I had to insert this into my .htaccess to turn OFF the multiviews before the rewrite rules would work:
Options -MultiViews
Hi There, this really bugs me. I love bbpress and it’s simplicity.
Im currently using Version 0.9.0.2.
Is there any plugin or feature that allows me to create custom user groups?
I need to say group A is allowed to view forum xyz, while group B is not allowd to do so. (im already using Hidden Forums to prevent serval forum from being seen from those who are not logged in)
I hope you get what I mean.
thanks in advance

btw, my forum rulord.de
bbPress permalinks still not working for me.
I have also a wordpress installation with the same hosting company on the same account. Rewrite works perfectly.
My bbPress site 0.9.04:
I tried ‘MultiViews’ and the ‘generated Rewrite rules’ in my .htacess file and nothing gets the pretty links to work. The html links are generated well but the pages are not found.
There must be something else. Any hints for me?
I am not into the Unix stuff too much and I am wondering if .htaccess files need a kind of ‘server restart’ or etc.???
When I installed bbPress I also needed to add a line that instructs the server to use PHP5 instead of prev. versions. The bbPress requirements spoke always about PHP >4.3… so that was not right as well. I am wondering if the permalink stuff is may be not 100% at this point.
Besides of that… bbPress is definitely a super cool product from you WP guys! It rocks and finally brings a good looking message board on the plate. Good work. Thanks!
I appreciate a help re. the permalinks.

i have wp 2.7 working fine with 1.0 alpha 6, as do some other users. i don’t remember doing anything special apart from manually pasting all the wordpress keys into the bbpress config file. the automatic config didn’t write anything to the files. it all worked fine once i did it manually.
bbPress live does the opposite (I think it lets you show bbPress information in a WordPress site):
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-live/
Sounds like the plan is to allow what you’re looking for in future versions:
https://bbpress.org/blog/2008/10/bbpress-10-alpha-2-released/
You used to be able to use bbSync to do this, but that was prior to the 1.0 alpha versions.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/
I’m not certain how you do this with the Alpha versions
Apologies for my brevity. I did find some technical issues that I should mention here – sometimes the script will fail to import in case forum title or description have the (‘) character like the word don’t,can’t etc. in that case I had to change them to do not, can not etc..
Once you hit an error you must start from the begining by truncating the bbpress tables else it will throw error about duplicate keys etc. Hope this info helps someone.
A million thanks to you. Love you.
Hi everyone,
I am using WordPress 2.7.1 and bbPress 1.0-alpha-5. I am looking for a plugin – most likely for WordPress – that will add a topic in a forum when a post is published. This way users can discuss the post within the forum, rather than leaving a comment. I remember I had a plugin that could do this a while back, but I cannot find it, and it’s probably out dated by now.
Please let me know of any plugin that could do this.
It would be easiest to hard code them if they don’t change very often.
_ck_ described how to get bbPress information inside WordPress. Maybe something similar would work in an opposite fashion to get WordPress information inside bbPress:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration
I installed WordPress 2.7, along with BBpress 0.9.0.4.
Both my wordpress and bbpress use the same theme style.
However, the links in header and footer use permalink function get_page_link in WP. But this is not defined in bbpress.
Is there any way, we can fetch the permalinks defined for WP pages and display them on bbpress footer.
Any help will be grateful.
Hi all,
i’ve created a forum with bbpress version 1.0-alpha-6; my question is:
Is possible that the forum’s visitors can write on my forums without log in?
If it’s possible how can i do?
I’ve tried to find something like “write permissions” but i didn’t found it.
Can someone help me ??????
Thanks a lot
Can this reCaptcha plugin be modified to work with the anonymous posting plugin? I have a small forum that I’d like to allow anonymous users to post, but I’d like to use reCaptcha to avoid spam.
Hello,
i have just recently got bbpress alpha 6 to work with my installation of wordpress 2.7… just how long will it be until it is safe to move the integration to a live site?
thanks,
pvf
my line 2529 was blank so i replaced the nearest thing i could see that was similar to
return "<small> - <a href="/forum/profile.php?id=$tag->user_id">$poster</a></small> [<a href='$url' class='delete:$list_id:tag-{$tag->tag_id}_{$tag->user_id}' title='$title'>×</a>]";
now, either as a result of this or as a result of the updates described in this page:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/theme-template-files-to-change-for-10#post-23794
…my tag area no longer automatically reloads when a tag is added, even though the tag is committed to the db and can be seen if you reload the page. i am a bit worried that users are going to be confused by this. i bet i have replaced the wrong line, but i am not sure…
After some more digging, I’ve found that the perpetrator is the db_connect() function inside class.bpdb-multi.php. I don’t understand why that file should be in use on a non-multi WP/bbPress installation, but either way it’s that file that does the offensive db_connect_host() call with erroneous credentials, host, etc.
What’s really weird is that the front page of bbPress works, while opening a topic yields the “Access denied for user ‘admin’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)” error message. Why would class.bpdb-multi.php be in use on a topic page but not on the front page? Makes no sense.
I’m having the same problem and it seems that the WP integration for whatever mysterious reason forces the MySQL connection into “localhost” mode. I’ve configured both WP and bbPress to connect to another MySQL host, but still it seems like bbPress is trying to connect to “localhost”.
I added a print_r($args) inside the db_connect_host() function and found that the function is called twice and the first time the credentials, host, etc., are correct and the second time they aren’t. The second time the function is called, the credentials are for some reason set to the ones of the logged in user. So somewhere in the bbPress code, authentication is done not with the values stored in bb-config.php, but with the username and password of what’s stored in the session cookie and the host is then set to “localhost”.
I don’t know how to investigate this problem any further.
I’ve searched the forum and haven’t found an answer to my question. I apologize if it’s been answered somewhere else.
I have just installed bbPress and it works beautifully. The only thing I haven’t been able to figure out is how to create an “Important Notice.” Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I think this “connected/same template” stuff between bbpress and wpress should be discussed when its time. And for me, the time is when bbpress 1.0 final is coming out!
To this point, i think design integration is our own job!
i successfully integrated bbpress in my wp-design
Yes, probably. You can see if that’s the problem by logging in as keymaster and going to the Admin section, then Settings > General (sometimes this is the URL http://wat2.com/bb-admin/options-general.php). Once there, change “Pretty Permalink Type” to “None” and then try your forum. If your forum is usable after that, then yes, it’s because bbPress is trying to use permalinks, but you have not set up the .htaccess file with rewrite rules.
You can create the rewrite rules by accessing this URL in your forum:
http://wat2.com/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
Now, take the output from that browser window and paste it into a .htaccess file in the forum root (/home/web/htdocs/whatever/wat2/.htaccess) on your server. Once that’s done, change the permalink setting back to one of the other two options (Numeric or Name based) and then try accessing topics and the profile page in your forum.
https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
(I don’t recommend the Options +MultiViews line, but that does work for some people instead of creating the rewrite rules in the browser). Be sure you’re logged in as keymaster before you try to access http://wat2.com/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php or it won’t work.
Sorry to spam the forum., but just wanted to provide this info that I realize there was no .htacess file in the BBpress folder I downloaded..Could that be the problem?
