Doesn’t matter, I’m about to remove bbPress from my WP installation, not enough Admin control.
Thanks,
Gene

Also, I added the “cookiedomain” to the config.php
Here’s the full list relevant to the integration.

There is no config.php file. What file are you talking about? Do you mean wp-config.php in WordPress? If I’m using WPMU, where would these changes go?
Could you post the entire procedure for integrating bbPress with WPMU?
Thanks!
I don’t know anything about MU and how integration with bbPress and MU works.
Wp/bbpress issues after upgrade.
I stupidly upgraded to WP 2.5 before upgrading BBPress (I think I am still on 0.83, though I confess I am having trouble figuring that out–where to look?)
Since the WP upgrade, I was unable to login to bbpress. (I thought something had gone wrong, so I reset my password, and that did not work–the new password works in WP but not bbpress.)
Oddly, a Moderator can still login, as can regular users.
I now, obviously, want to upgrade bbpress ASAP and get this worked out. Is it going to be a problem that my admin account isn’t currently working? Is there some point in the upgrade process where I need to reset this somehow?
Thanks!!!
Hi, I’m currently having a similar problem. Having just upgraded to the new version of bbPress and taking advantage of it’s automated WordPress integration. However upon completing this I found I couldn’t access the admin panel.
I removed the bb-config.php file and ran through the installation again, leaving out the sections relating to WordPress integration. However I still cannot access the administrative panel.
I’ve tried some of the recommendations around the forum such as this, but to no avail.
Ideas? Feedback appreciated.
I wasn’t having any luck using Comment Quicktags for bbPress with v0.9.0.1. I’ll give it another shot tonight though.
I don’t have pretty permalinks on. I don’t have an .htaccess file in the bbpress install. My root .htaccess is this
php_flag register_globals off
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([^/]+)/print/?$ /wp-print.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4 [QSA,L]

The insert function in Comment Quicktags for bbPress can easily be reused to insert smilies. You don’t want to use wp-grins because it has to load prototype.js which is huge and slow.
bbPress needs the internal rewrite engine that WordPress has.
Multiviews is unreliable and availability is inconsistent.
This looks great! Thank you.
Now if we can get WP-Grins converted to bbPress, we’d have clickable smilies…

One of the major stumbling blocks for implementation of permalinks is the creation of the .htaccess file.
There is at least one ticket requesting automation of the creation process via the admin area of bbPress (just like WordPress does). But the problem with that is that we support both the “MultiViews” and “mod_rewrite” methods of creating permalinks.
In light of this and some other problems with “MultiViews” I’d like to gauge the possibility of dropping “MultiViews” support in favour of “mod_rewrite”.
What do you all think? Do you use “MultiViews” or “mod_rewrite”? Why? Would you really miss “MultiViews” support?
Hey,
Just wanted to mention that I have released a matching WordPress theme, just in case anyone is using Peacemaker for bbPress. 
You can download it here.
UPDATE!!
Figured out a way to integrate WordPress smileys into bbPress. Use this plugin!

wonderful! i’m glad to hear my post was helpful!
OK, I found the problem. I had jumped ahead and installed the .htaccess file for pretty permalinks. This prevented the installer from running.
But now I’ve got an ugly long URL because I installed it under ../WordPress/
How do I reconfigure bbPress so that I can make the forum
http://www.paara.org/forum/
instead of
http://www.paara.org/WordPress/bbPress/
?
I installed bbPress in http://paara.org/forum/ because that’s what I wanted the URL of the forum to be, and the installation instructions didn’t indicate any preference for where.
Just one blog, with the WP files at http://paara.org/WordPress/ but with the public URL being simply http://paara.org/, as described in https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
And after moving the bbPress directories to http://paara.org/WordPress/bbPress/, I still can’t get the install to run, or anything but the “no content” message to appear.
What am I missing?
I’m using bbpress for my online class and I would like to create a forum that only I or a moderator can post to, and the students (members) can view only.
I’ve seen plug-ins to make forums private, but that’s not exactly what I need. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
I am switching my board from phpbb to bbpress and am very worried about porn spamming robots that register and post urls to porn sites.
In phpbb, there is a mod that didn’t stop the registration, but was COMPLETELY EFFECTIVE in stopping the posting of porn sites. It simply would not allow brand-new members to post URLs.
Is anyone capable of writing such a plug in for bbpress?
Here’s a link to the phpbb mod —
http://www.phpbb.com/mods/db/index.php?i=misc&mode=display&contrib_id=1649&sid=11350f22f9dec93e4361bf7b1d53a801
You want a better spider tool that can limit how many threads it uses, obeys robots.txt and uses a standard user agent.
Good luck getting all that into bbpress though. First you’ll need to write a custom parser that can standardize the posts and topics into a clean format. Some was working on a bbPress xml importer but if you get the data organized enough you could parse it directly into mysql. Not a trivial project by any means but I guess you realize that .
Hopefully you know PHP or some other language that can help you parse all the data?
@raygene can you give me some more details on your install..
you have to initialize bbpress by adding code in your wpconfig file.. have you done that?
@citizenkeith plans – yup.. timeline – nope
@nolageek
just deactivate the “Display Name” plugin and try again, that was the only solution I’ve found. You can reactivate it after you do you changes
Works great, although I added a couple of rewrite rules.
/forum/profile to /forum/profile.php and /forum/tags to /forum/tags.php
The profile and tags pages were still returning 404 headers.
