I’ve tried the last few versions, and always get the following errors:
Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/wordpress/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 377 along with:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) etc.
This happens between doing an upgrade or a clean install, no plugins. Any ideas?
Apparently md5 hash isn’t correct either. What I need is to make the bbpress password-hash into the WordPress 2.5 standard.
I.e. how to make bbpress 1.0 WordPress 2.4 (Pre 2.5) compatible?
Apparently the problem isn’t really the registration method but rather the password encryption.
It seems the md5-insecurity plugin doesn’t work with BBPress 1.0? Does anyone have a fix for that?
I am working on a site where I’m integrating wp, bbpress and Gallery2. The integration between WP and BBPress is seamless (WP 2.7 and BBPress 1.0 Alpha6) as is the integration between WordPress and Gallery2. The problem is that when people register in BBPress they can’t access Gallery2…
Does anyone have a solution for this? Can bbpress be forced to call the wordpress registration-script instead of the normal bbpress registration script when registering. I wan’t the extra bells and whistles the bb-press installation allows for through plugins so rerouting and forcing users to register through the wp interface doesn’t really appeal to me…
right now I am using:
echo "<li><a>topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a>Posted by: <a>topic_poster."'>".$result->topic_poster_name."</a> in </li>";
since im calling it in wordpress that function doesnt exist.
Hello, my name is Ram.
I installed the Detective’s Modified Private Messaging for Personal Messaging feature in my bbpress installation. Everything works fine on my local (XAMPP on Windows XP) computer. But, when installed the same on a live bluehost server, I get the following message when I access the pm.php file:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function pm_delete() in pm.php on line 10
Everything works fine, except the Personal Messaging system.
Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Started running bbpress 1.0-Alpha6 recently on a productionsite… Probably a bad idea but everything seems to work… A few plugins that don’t work but other than that it’s all good! 
any sight on when bbpress will support it? 1.0 does, i read. when is it expected? withing a few weeks? months? and are we then speaking 2 or 6 months?
thanks in advance!
I can’t add links in posts properly 
When I try to add a link I do it like that:
<a href="http://www.mysite.com/">My Site</a>
but the link generated by bbPress in the post isnt linking to
http://www.mysite.com/
but to
http://www.mysite.com/“
Oh, OK.
I’m using the Structure theme but I just realized (by seeing it in it’s native state at http://bbshowcase.org/forums/?bbtheme=bbpress-structure) that the problem with missing spaces between the numbers seems to be something I screwed since it works in the original.
Please don’t modify any core files. What you are asking can be done in your template files. What template are you using? Please post a link to your forum so we can show you the proper place to modify this. If you look at other bbPress sites, the pagination does not look like yours. The way that looks is a theme function, not a core function.
Ipstenu: I still have the same problem. I’ve checked if KEY strings matched, and they do.
WP KEY:
define('AUTH_KEY', 'this is my key');
bbPress KEY:
define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'this is my key');
I’ve tried th change “BB_AUTH_KEY” (bbPress KEY) to “AUTH_KEY”, but it still doesn’t work…
Looks like the forum ate your code but to display the forum name when you only have the id, you can use the built in bbpress functions
echo get_forum_name($result->forum_id);
or
echo "Posted by $result->topic_poster_name in ".get_forum_name($result->forum_id);
or
echo "Posted by <a href='".bb_get_profile_link($result->topic_poster)."'>$result->topic_poster_name</a>
in <a href='".get_forum_link($result->forum_id);."'>".get_forum_name($result->forum_id)."</a>";
The only time I saw mrc2407’s error was when my KEY strings weren’t actually matched up. After I dumped all cookies and repasted from WP into BB, it magically started working.
also, I got this far… just not sure how to get the forum name, since only the forum ID is listed in this table… not sure how I pull the otehr table and combine the two.
echo "
<li><a>topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a>Posted by: ".$result->topic_poster_name.".</li>
";
man, this is so great. I am using this now instead of rss and i like it so much more!!!
would you be willing to show how we would add
“Posted by $user in $forum.”
under the list of topics?
I believe there is a plugin that does this by polling the DB. Not sure if it is on the plugins site here or over at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins but it is called something like “bbPress Latest Discussions” or something like that.
Turns out the Manage -> Recount didn’t solve the issue.
I did a clean install of BBpress integrated with WordPress and reproduced the problem. I failed to reproduce the problem the first time since I only had two users.
Try this on a clean install-
0. Use keymaster account to write a two posts under two topics.
1. Create user #2.
2. Login user #1 and create two posts under same two topics written by user #1.
3. Using wordpress admin delete user #2.
4. Create user #3 and log in as user #3.
5. Display topics.
6. Note that the keymaster account is ‘inactive’. This is a result of the SQL request for the account level failing.
martenk: Yes, I do, but in my case the users database is blog_users (I hope it won’t mind)
As for linking to the forum from the blog like as if it was a page it’s just a matter of installing this plugin: http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/page-links-to/
Works great.
