Thank you so much guys! .. that’s a great help on my very first question. *thumbs up*
how? Where? I think I have everthing setup okay, but everyones account on the bbpress side states:
Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/user/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2009
and shows the user as inactive??? Help, please.
Well, glad to see I’m not the only one with the problem at least. Hopefully someone has a solution for us… anyone? 
It’s encouraged but not required.
It’s open source, you can remove it. (I think?)
Still, there are lots of places you can’t put such a statement in. It’s polite to talk about those whose work you benefited from. An about page on your blog/forum with a link would be enough. Or maybe somewhere near where you put your advertising, a link with the logo of bbpress. Unitrusive and can even be pretty if you make a nice banner.
Hi Guys!
My first question today, is this statement a legal requirement, or can it be removed while customising your forum?
All the best,
Cal
Just wanted to send a quick “thank you!”
The queries worked perfectly, as far as I can tell. (I had to change some of the table names from wp_ to bb_, since I’m not using integration, but other than that it all worked flawlessly.)
Some of my spam users went as far back as 6 years from when I imported everything to bbPress from phpBB, so it was definitely time for some housecleaning.
Thanks again for the assistance.
Hi!
I want to change the name of the user that started a topic.
I went to bb_topics table through phpmyadmin and there, I changed topic_poster_name field. However, when you go to the forums, the topic author appears as “anonymous”.
Do I need to change any other field in bbpress database? or maybe this has anything to do with the role assingment issue?
Do you have a backup of the database before trying integration? Did you indeed use wp_ for the bbPress table prefix?
what can I do? I tried integrating bbpress with buddypress/wordpress and was unsuccessful. I don’t want to damage my database. What can I do to get it working? Best solution??? Thanks
HEAVILY modded forum warning. I only use bbPress because of the WordPress integration, and I want it as close as possible to other forums, so I did this (with only amateur self-learned skills):

Feel free to use it as reference, but it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen done in bbPress. Like, at all. And not only the looks, functions too. I’m especially proud of the support of bbcode, including nested

Works perfect for me in bbPress 0.9.0.2. Maybe it’s a specific issue of 1.0?
It looks like you used wp_ (instead of bb_) as your table prefix, and WordPress was already installed, which means bbPress tried to install into the WordPress tables?
By default, WordPress uses these tables (in 2.7):
wp_comments
wp_links
wp_options
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_terms
wp_term_relationships
wp_term_taxonomy
wp_usermeta
wp_users
And bbPress uses these in the alpha version:
bb_forums
bb_meta
bb_posts
bb_terms
bb_term_relationships
bb_term_taxonomy
bb_topics
bb_usermeta
bb_users
bbPress 0.9.0.* versions used different tables:
bb_forums
bb_posts
bb_tagged
bb_tags
bb_topicmeta
bb_topics
bb_usermeta
bb_users
And when you integrate, bbPress uses the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables instead of its own bb_users and bb_usermeta.
I am running 2.7 and alpha 5 with the same problem and can’t get the roles to work either. I did everything the way it was described to do.. even did a clean install of a website and bbpress to test it out and it didn’t assign roles there either.
I used the bbpress integration plugin as well.
I have 44,000 members, so this is a bit of an issue for me. I had to manually go in and assign roles to about 15,000 members and have to manually assign roles for all new members, which is about 100 a day, and a real pain.
I just validated the feed for one of the pages for this forum, and it came back as valid. The data format looks the same to me. I noticed in your date, there is a character missing from “Friday”:
<pubDate>Fr, 02 Jan 2009 10:57:20 +0000</pubDate></blockqoute>
This date format is correct for RFC 822 from a Linux command line:
[~/ch/bbpress]$ date -R
Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:12:42 -0500
So, I think there is just some problem with your date function, missing the “i” in Friday, or you typed incorrectly instead of pasting, and the missing “i” is just a typo.
Depends on what version you installed. This is from the alpha versions:

It sounds like when you log in, you’re not a keymaster, so you’re not seeing the keymaster (admin) functions.
That is correct. Here are the moderator capabilities from bb-includes/capabilities.php:
'moderator' => array(
'name' => __('Moderator'),
'capabilities' => array(
'moderate' => true,
'participate' => true,
'manage_tags' => true,
'delete_topics' => true,
'close_topics' => true,
'stick_topics' => true,
'move_topics' => true,
'view_by_ip' => true,
'edit_closed' => true,
'edit_deleted' => true,
'browse_deleted' => true,
'edit_others_tags' => true,
'edit_others_topics' => true,
'delete_posts' => true,
'throttle' => true,
'ignore_edit_lock' => true,
'edit_others_posts' => true,
'edit_favorites' => true,
'edit_tags' => true,
'edit_topics' => true,
'edit_posts' => true,
'edit_profile' => true,
'write_topics' => true,
'write_posts' => true,
'change_password' => true,
'read' => true
)),
You could add the permissions you for your moderator there, but it’s generally a bad idea to modify a core file. You probably want a plugin to modify the capabilities for your moderators. I didn’t see one specifically for that, but I did notice this plugin was added yesterday.

Warren – Thank you for bumping multiple posts.
What version of WP and BB are you using? There is a plugin for WP that should ‘fix’ this for you on WP 2.7 and BB 1.0-alpha-5
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
Again, look at when this was posted. 4 months ago. How long is it going to take bbpress to get the user roles intregated? I would suggest somebody write a plugin or better yet, update the core to match the same user roles in wordpress 2.7 or bbpress is going to lose alot of users.
bbpress 0.9.0.4 and wordpress 2.7 intregrate but bbpress doesn’t hanlde the roles at all. If a user gegisters through wordpress, all is good but if they register through bbpress, they get an “you don’t have permission to view this page” when they try to login to wordpress.
I think this should be addressed asap, but as I’m ready through the forums, I see Sam or any other developer has addressed this issue at all. There are some .htaccess 301 redirects and a small code change you can make to redirect users from the bbpress registration page to the wordpress registration page, but in my humble opinion, one should not have to do this because the whole reason to use bbpress with wordpress was the fact that they intregrate.
Bottom line…bbpress needs to update the user roles to that of wordpress user roles period.
I have the exact same problem but even when they login to wordpress 2.7 they are shown “You don’t have permission to view this page”.
I have to manually change their role to subscriber which is not ideal at all. It seems to me that bbPress should make a user who registers through the forum a “subscriber” in wordpress but it’s not. I think bbpress should have the same roles as wordpress to cut the confusion down. The whole purpose of using bbpress was because it intregated with wordpress but if it doen’t habdle the roles automatically, I may as well install phpbb or vbulletin.
I love bbpress, but if I have to perform task manually, what is the benefit of using bbpress?
Same problem here. The bbpress roles need to match those of wordpress roles. I played with this for hours to the point I’m ready to ditch bbpress and just install vbulletin or phpbb. I love the intregration though. Everything else works great except when user register through bbpress.
Hi folks!
Just wanted to say hello and that I am looking forward to getting into the workings of bbPress. I newly created my forum last night, so a lot of learning ahead.
All the best,
Cal
This poll is intended to gauge usage levels of older versions of PHP, with a view to maybe bumping the lowest supported version in bbPress up to PHP 4.4.9 (from PHP 4.3.0).
The two options below are the latest stable versions of PHP 4 and 5. If you are using another version, please be specific when entering it’s version number.
