Er, that’s TalkPress and I’d guess that it’s not going to be out until either very late this year or early next.
Matt owns the domain but is doing something incredibly unprofessional with it for some reason I can’t fathom.
My response:
I saw talkpress.com, not good. xD
When will talkpress.com be up and ready to make forums?
Is it talkpress.org? A forum, about forums. Why? Where? talkpress.com
BYE

Hiya 
I’m basically thinking out loud, and felt this was the best forum to post in.
I was browsing through _ck_’s top 100 bbpress forum (well, the first one at least http://www.greedyorneedy.com/), and had a look at the site’s forum and member profiles such as this:-
http://www.greedyorneedy.com/users/view/id/7412
They look brilliant – facebook esque, and would love to implement something similar to my site (well one of my ideas anyway)
What I suspect is that it is a WordPress/Wordpress MU plugin, but still if anybody has any ideas to how they achived this, I would love to hear them
I received a very similar error (something about the database and needing to try to reinstall) when trying a fresh install and integrating wordpress at the same time. I retried it a few times – each time it would fail, and if I tried to access the forum location it would bring me to the installation script again.
Eventually I went through the installation without integrating wordpress and I that’s what ultimately worked. I then went through the wordpress integration after the install.
Latest wordpress & bbpress, on Linux, PHP 5.2.5, MySQL 4.1.22.
Ok I switched the theme back to standard, but still have the problem. None of the extra javascript is being loaded with this theme either, so it rules that out.
My bbpress is installed in my wordpress folder (in ‘forum’ subdirectory), but I haven’t configured anything in bbpress admin – settings – wordpress integration… I didn’t think it was necessary as wordpress only needs one admin user. Could this be the problem?
I should add that my bbpress config.php is using require_once to call in wp-blog-header.php. This lets bbpress load the wordpress functions so I can use the wordpress header/footer in my theme. Perhaps this is causing a conflicting cookie or something?
It just seems weird that bbpress lets me login as admin no problem?!
Thanks
Hiya
Running v0.9.0.2 here – http://lcd.deletelondon.com/forum/
bbPress is installed with WordPress, but not integrated – visitors never need to login to Worpress site, so don’t think integration is necessary.
I can login as user ID1 – admin – no problem at all so I don’t think this is a cookie thing..? Have tried clearing cookies/temp files just in case.
New users are being created in the database, and password is being emailed. When I try to login as user, it just returns the blank login form. When I try to login as a non-existent user, I get the correct ‘no such user’ message.
I can see all new users in admin screen, all with usertype ‘member’, so that’s fine.
Please help!
Thanks
I think the forum plugins tend to be slow, but that’s just anecdotal.
bbPress is great, it will just require some work to make it look like your WordPress. It’s not as simple as just creating a page and BAM! bbPress looks like WordPress. You will need to create a new template for bbPress that looks like your WordPress blog, or find a bbPress template that matches what you’re using for WordPress.
Sorry Guymed, forgot about that.

I don’t have a WordPress.org blog, I have WordPress.com, you cant install plug-ins there.

I’ve tried integrating wordpress with bbpress but the old user data from the bbpress database doesn’t transfer to the new location such that user data doesn’t show up. For instance, the post show up but the usernames aren’t displaying. Is there a way to transfer old user data to the integrated table?
I guess I’ll try a forum plugin for WordPress. Do you happen to know any of the downfalls of doing such? I’ve just heard such great things about bbpress.
If it’s security related, you can post a bug at:
https://trac.bbpress.org/
Or, you can join the dev list and post a message where all the important people hang out:
https://lists.bbpress.org/mailman/listinfo/bbdev
Finally, there’s always IRC:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/what-is-the-bbpress-irc-channel
Maybe this is relevant:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installing-bbpress-on-a-wordpress-website
What you are looking for is pretty common, but there’s not a super easy way to do it without designing a bbPress template to look like your theme.
An alternative is to install a forum plugin for WordPress, instead of bbPress.
Someone else recently asked the same question:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpresscom#post-16331
How about a forum plugin for WordPress?
http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simplepress-forum/
http://www.xdweb.net/wordpress/xdforum2/ (old and probably dead)
http://www.fahlstad.se/wp-plugins/wp-forum/ (had some security issues, you should read to see if they’ve been taken care of)
I’ve never used any of them, I just know they exist for putting a forum on a WordPress page.
I would like my bbpress forum to show up on my wordpress blog page called “forum”. I also would like the forum to have the same look as my blog (at least the top of it). I have bbpress loaded in a subdirectory of WP called “forum”. I’m new to html coding and would love step by step instructions from anyone who is patient with new students
Thanks
C’mon I can’t afford a server so I need some sort of bbpress online thing. To go with my wordpress. Cuz I only trust wordpress projects (auttomatic) things.
opps maybe i’m wrogn with the name.. not freshpress… well Matt told me about it during WordCamp Milan 2 weekends ago but not sure about the name… but i’m sure there was something about on automattic blog or bbpress blog…
Nikolay graciously offered to handle the bbPress pot generation as he does for WordPress. For the past several months, trunk has been automatically upgraded every day.
It seems as though branches and tags has fallen behind. I’ll ask him to see if there’s any bugs anywhere.
So when is fresh press coming? I saw a website called freshpress.com and it was a flower selling company.
