1a. Yes. Just download everything in the bbPress folder (whatever you called it) and then upload that to the new server. That takes care of the file system. Then dump the database and import that on the new host as well.
1b. No, don’t start from scratch, that almost never helps. You can modify what you have going on already.
2. Not sure. There are probably a couple URL related entries you’d have to change, either in bb-config.php or the database somewhere. Not sure what those are exactly, but I doubt it would be too bad.
I think rather than attachments you want the “Allow Images” plugin, where people can insert an image into their reply.

The member has to have the image hosted somewhere accessible on the Internet though ( http://imageshack.us/ or http://photobucket.com/ or http://flickr.com/ or something ). If you want the ability to host their image then display it rather than link to it as an attachment, then you might want to look into this alpha version of the attachment plugin that allows inline image viewing.

I’ve set up and partly customised a bbPress forum on a subdomain that I’m using to demonstrate a uni faculty website I’m re-designing for a friend who is in charge of the faculty (in other words, I’m not a pro website designer – this is a job for a friend). The forum is linked to the website via a navigation button. When the website is finished and ready to go “live”, it will be transferred from my subdomain to the client’s server/host.
1. a) Is it possible to retain the customisations I’ve done on the bbPress forum and transfer the forum over, along with the website, to the client’s server/host, or
b) Will I need to completely reinstall bbPress to the client’s server/host and customise it again from scratch?
2. If a) above, what do I need to change in the current bbPress settings (and where!) to have it operate from the client’s server/host please?
Cheers

Sounds like you put all the bbPress files into the folder that had WordPress files in it? Can you confirm that?
What version of bbPress and WordPress were you running?

vilimaunula – your site akirakurosawa.info is an quite impressive integration of WP and BBPress. I’m wondering how you managed to integrate your forum and wordpress loops into one, as presented on this page: http://akirakurosawa.info/forums/. You are showing a single chronological list of recent posts and comments across both your WP blog and BBPress forum. Would you mind sharing how you did this? I’m very new to PHP so would not be able to tweak things easily to make this happen.
Thanks!
The plugin currently allows you to change the smilie “set”.
I intend future versions to be able to use multiple sets at the same time.
If you want to make your own sets, just look at how the default folder is done and build your own. There is a single PHP file to edit.
Because I have no idea how to deal with all this SVN stuff in Ubuntu (I’m just a “user”, not a geek), and I want to share plugin no matter what – here it is:

I’ve made modifications to original FlickrRSS to make it working under bbPress – you can display your photos, your set, group or community photos from Flickr on your forum now 
.
You can see demo here on sidebar.
Yes, put it in it’s own folder, inside the WordPress folder. So you might have something like this:
/var/www/public/website/wordpress
/var/www/public/website/wordpress/bbpress/
The 404 error might be because you are trying to use permalinks, either “slugs” or true, and they’re not set up on your server. I would change them to false for now and see if you can get the links to work. If that works, then you know that was the problem and you just need to set up permalinks.

phpBB3 conversion:

I don’t think so, not easily, not yet. I think there was a script to export phpBB2 to bbPress:

Also can I convert my board from phpbb3 to bbpress?

Ok I was wondering where I should upload bbpress? Right in the wordpress folder on my server? Also why can’t I click on the View your profile link? It says “User not found.” is that because it is still beta so to speak…
Thanks,

Ah there is probably a more developed guide on the WordPress side, let me see if I can find it for you.
update: here’s a few guides – essentially the process is identical to the WordPress side except the URL used is going to be https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/
guides:
http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2008/01/wordpress-plugin-subversion-guide/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/svn/
I have no idea where to post it so I’m using the less-invasive section of this forum . Is there any “guide to submitting a plugin” to bbpress.org/plugins/? I’ve clicked “Add your plugin!”, I recieved approval and “access to your SVN repository” but now what?
I never used SVN or Trac before, I have no idea what to do, I just want to share my plugin with others via bbpress.org 
. If there’s any “guide” or wiki page out there to help me out, please point me to it as I have no idea where to look for anything like this…
PS: I want coffeeeeeeee
I’ve now made this into a full plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-last-poster/
Once you install it, you’ll be able to use your code above, but change the part of the function that says topic to forum, ie. forum_time()
Hi filosofo, it’s an honor to have you here (I learned alot from studying your WordPress plugins).
I take it you are trying to do “full” integration where bbPress and WordPress run together and I guess I didn’t think of that as I try to encourage people NOT to do that because of the massive amount of code that has to execute for every page rendered.
I meant the cookies should integrate, with simple (stand-alone) integration.
Having bbPress based on BackPress and WP not based on it yet is going to become a problem for people doing full intregration. I am not sure if Sam is willing to wrap all the functions in “function_exists” clauses.
It’s great that it works when you remove them – they must have copied the most recent WordPress functions.
cordoval, there are several dozen bbPress sites on my top1000 list that use subdomains, hence I know it works. Please stop using this incorrect topic for the subject matter, thanks.
I want to make a suggestion _ck_ (then I don’t have to make it).
Put the (basic) smilies in a folder in the image folder, but also let people allow to put a smilie folder in de template’s folder.
Now let the plugin first check in the template folder if there is a smiley folder there, if so, use these smilies. If not, use the basic smilies from the basic map. This way we can use (custome)smilies suitable for the theme. (so if you theme is green, you can make some green smilies that fit your template.
Get the idea?
For those that know what they are doing and have subversion, you can checkout or switch to the trunk of bbPress which will give you compatibility with WordPress 2.6
Are you sure it’s compatible? I’m getting fatal errors because the functions in bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php and bb-includes/backpress/functions.compat.php, which are shared with WP, are all getting re-declared.
However, if I make those files blank, the integration seems to work.
You should post from now on on the WordPress.org support forum for WordPress help, but we can still help you here since we’re mostly familiar with WordPress and bbPress.
You do *not* need to edit the file, but it looks like you did based on that error, which is why we asked.
I would try uploading all the files again. Maybe something just got corrupted in that one file, or maybe more files.
If you need assistance, please contact me at the website listed in my profile.
I change the Firefox icon to the IE icon on people’s desktop then remove IE from the desktop. It’s a hard habit to break but well worth it.
I think you *can* subscribe to a site feed from within Google Reader: that’s the whole point. Use the “Add Subscription” button and paste in the URL for the feed you want. That’s it.

wat bbPress pages? i dont see where the errors are?
i dont get where the errors are :- http://www.picbi.com/forum , am I think im missing something ?
cheers
After a lot of research, and looking at tumblr, then wordpress, then joomla, and now wordpress and bbpress, I think I almost may have made a decision. I want to create a site that is a blog on the front end, with the blog topics becoming forum discussions. Technically I don’t need bbpress to do this, but it seems to me that bbpress will facilitate better discussion. First, are there other sites that are already doing this, I would love to see how they operate?
Second, and maybe most important to me are the user profiles and the ability to let other users ranks each other posts to comments. I’m looking for some opinions on which extensions do this the best.
Oh yeah, I do already use Google’s reader – but you can’t actually subscribe to a site from within that, can you? And I have tried Firefox – I use it spasmodically. It’s illogical and even stupid of me, but I am so used to IE I find myself opening it up by default, as it were. No question, it is inferior to Firefox.
Did you add that to wp-config.php as the first line, right after the <?php?
The error cannot redeclare means something has already been included that it’s trying to include again.
