You’d have to copy all your bb_ tables to a new database, so (this is theory) you could export them AND your wp_users table (obviously as a copy).
Make a new install of bbPress (rather than try to undo everything you did to integrate), then import the old data.
Hello, I’ve started up with installing WordPress, then bbPress and integrated them. Since I’ve decided that I won’t be using a blog in near future I’d like bbPress to be running standalone (with its own user table) and independent of WordPress. How can this be done?
Many thanks.
Hello, is it possible to run bbPress in webroot and WordPress in a subdir and have them integrated? (This option is not mentioned in the initial FAQ here in this topic)
Hello,
I have the same issue.
Basically I have in my site a table “users” with with 4 fields (id, login, password, connexion)
Whenever a user logs in, I generate a random string and put it in the user’s connexion field and create a ‘login’ cookie.
What I want is that if a ‘login’ cookie is detected, bbpress reads the cookie’s value and matches it against the users table and then creates the user instance.
Also in the topic list I want bbpress to display users from my users table.
Can anyone guide me how to achieve this? Is it even possible?
hi u all. sorry for the late reply. i’ve got it sorted. it’s because of my server cache level is not enough for handling newer version of server software. I recently bought a hp proliant server and all the issues been sorted. thanks for the reply. i’m thinking to develop a plugin for bbpress now since i’m happy with my server.. 
Thank you for your support sambauers , but I’m afraid the bbpress.ro domain just got registered by someone else …
Even so , I will translate the bbpress 1.0 ( when it will be released ) .
I was looking into this the other day since I know that phpBB has a plugin to do just that, show a downsized clickable Image to prevent users from messing with the layout.
Here’s the Demo: http://phpbbegypt.com/PHPBB/viewtopic.php?t=70
My users are annoying in that aspect. : /
Wonder if this could be translated into bbPress.
I tried DarkGrave’s suggestion to remove these lines from bb-settings.php:
require( BBPATH . BBINC . ‘bozo.php’);
&&
require( BBPATH . BBINC . ‘akismet.php’);
Bozo – what are the triggers?
But those lines weren’t in my settings file.
I also deleted the meta record from bb_usermeta, but that didn’t help either.
Well, I’m not missing the point of final products, but WordPress is at version 2.7 and isn’t quite a final product either. The result of the community driven open source product is that pre 1.0 alpha/beta software isn’t really any more or less stable than the next “stable” version, because even if development stops for a moment to celebrate the next milestone, there is still more to do.
I also get how bbPress was introduced and how the developers have chosen to support it. I just disagree with promoting a product before it’s even usable. I guess I take more pride in my product than that. I run the trunk version of both WP and BBP on a relatively small website. I update them nightly. It’s really the best way for me to stay involved and report back problems. I just feel this integration issue is way more important than the attention it gets. It just seems to me like it’s never really worked right ever. 
And I also choose personally to not believe that just because a product is graciously delivered to someone for free, that there aren’t certain expectations placed on the quality of that product. I could give someone a cookie, but if it’s stale or poisoned doesn’t really make me a good friend.
Also, the last thing I want to do is bite the hand that feeds me. I really love bbPress and WordPress, promise. I just find the development cycle frustrating some days.
(Off topic: We’ve called animal control, the police, and the condo association. The police say they can’t give her a ticket if she isn’t home, and when she’s home the dog doesn’t bark so they can’t ticket her then either. They’re useless. Animal control told me that if I do not have proof of cruelty in terms of the dog not having adequate food and water, they will not pursue the owner. The condo association is writing her their third letter asking her to correct the issue. Writing a letter is less effective than posting on a forum. )
I have no use for facebook myself but johnjamesjacoby I think you are missing the point that bbPress is not even a 1.0 final product yet and should not be used on projects if that can’t deal with bugs and problems. You should never install a pre-1.0, alpha or beta product unless you can handle bugs.
bbPress like WordPress was not developed for the heck of it to give out for free, it was written for WordPress.com and just happens to have free source available.
(and you need to call animal control if there’s a dog barking for that long, most towns have anti-noise ordinances to protect you from that kind of annoyance)
If they are sharing a database, then the problem is inheriting the logins and cookies in my opinion. Getting the user info could be as easy as a query to the DB once you know what user_id to retrieve.
That plugin uses the built in bbPress get_page_number_links API, which does not have a function to check for the availability of pages. It only echo’s the links if they are needed.
I ask that you excuse the general tone of this post as I’m dealing with a next-door-neighbors dog that has been barking for 3 months straight morning, noon, and night, but at the risk of sounding like a snot, I think I’ll become a fan of bbPress once integration works correctly.
My opinion on this matter is that maybe your efforts could have been better focused elsewhere.
I know that we all need a break from the grind, but if one of my clients had an integral operation issue with my product, even if it was free, there’s an obligation to resolve it. Just because it’s the best thing out there doesn’t exactly make the lack of response or attention to the broken integration acceptable.
I’ve checked the trac and scoured the forums flailing my arms all the way, and so far no one seems to have figured it out or given a time-line to a resolution. I would settle for a quick and dirty fix or even someone that could point me in a more obvious direction on how to resolve it myself.
That this is what the bbPress development team feels is the most important thing to do just seems like bad timing on someones part. In a time where world economies are suffering, I think it’s probably more important now than ever before to stay focused on the task at hand, because there’s always someone waiting to do a better job at your job for less pay.
And lets face facts, everyone that is a fan of bbPress, is already here. I personally don’t think we don’t need another place to go quite yet. I don’t disagree that it’s a good idea, but maybe get a working 1.0 version out there first?
Since the alpha is here , I guess I can wait some time for the stable release.
Thanks for the fast answer!
And I have one more question : can I make the romanian community and purchase the domain bbpress.ro to run the community on it ?
I don’t think the the BB in bbPress should ever be small caps. Always lowercase. Looks better.
+1
Looks worse this way, IMO. I like the little bb. Is bbPress a trademark like WordPress is (capitalization included)? If so, then there’s no question. It needs to be little bb.
Since this plugin does pagination, there are functions in it to figure out how many pages there are then add page links. I suspect if you looked at the functions you might be able to see how it was done by _ck_.

Hello people, I tried to find the en_EN language folder in http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/ , but it isn’t there .
I want to translate bbPress in romanian but I can’t find it . Is it this one : http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/trunk/bbpress.pot ?
Hello people and hello to all the people in Romania that are using bbPress.
I made a support forum for bbPress in romanian language .
Forum address : http://bbPress.webshow.ro
I have also made a installation tutorial with pictures : http://bbpress.webshow.ro/topic/instalare-bbpress
Hope you like it and you will join the romanian forum also 
Sometimes forum topics are so interesting that they get many replies and bbPress v0.9.0.2 does not have any links to the latest reply when you go to a topic.
So I created one as you will see when you go to any of the topics in the Set Forever forum.
Here’s a link to the code update to the Kakumei theme for the topic.php file:
http://www.setforever.org/blog/2008/bbpress-v0902-how-to-add-a-link-to-the-latest-posted-reply-message-in-a-topic/
You can now become a “fan” of bbPress on FaceBook…

Go nuts!
The new theme should match the WordPress.org theme but in dark greens so we have a common identity.
I don’t think the the BB in bbPress should ever be small caps. Always lowercase. Looks better.
If a guy wanted to try and go for the gold and make the new official bbPress.org theme, who would he talk to about such things?
Are blockquotes styled differently now?
…only wanted to alleviate some of the long standing complaints people had about the layout. I’m planning a more thorough overhaul as we approach bbPress 1.0
