The Avatar Upload plugin is fairly well developed and I believe there is a hack to show them on the WordPress side as well. It does take a little bit of time to setup though.
Thanks for the reply. I added the line you suggested:
$wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;
I put this right after:
$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;
But now I get the following error when logging in. It seems to me that there must be something in the config file or in a table that tells BBPress to use the WordPress usesrs table? I tried deleting the bb-users table whihc didn’t help.
bbPress database error: [Table ‘webdeadm_main.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT ID FROM bb_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’
bbPress database error: [Table ‘webdeadm_main.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’
bbPress has a function to check for administrators.
if (!in_array(intval($GLOBALS['forum']->forum_id), array(2,5,9)) || bb_current_user_can('administrate')) { do something here }
where 2,5,9 is the list of forum numbers you want to restrict
what you are trying to do is possible but very tricky
For example the “add new” on the front page offers all the forums for posting and you’d have to write a replacement for the list (bb_new_topic_forum_dropdown)
All the “magic” happens in post-form.php, so you could take that if statement above and wrap the entire template with that (in theory).
Make sure they have not been flagged as a “bozo” by looking at their profile.
In bbpress 0.9 you can disable the built-in bozo plugin entirely which I actually recommend as it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
(Then use my Human Test plugin to make sure you don’t get bots registering to post spam).
Thank you , what about all plugins ?
Was your bbpress setup before you installed WordPress?
Or did WordPress exist before bbPress? If you had bbPress first, the userbase is actually inside bbPress and not WordPress. It needs to be moved to WordPress (or some different settings in WordPress to use the user db in bbPress). I call that “reverse integration”.
But I’m missing a detail here – did you have working integration with WordPress+bbPress before you upgraded both to latest?
This might be an issue with the two parts of the “secret key” not being setup/synced properly between the two.
I think this is a similar problem posted here (that was never answered)

“Interesting design.”
Hopefully that’s a good thing, and not too interesting that it’s junk. 
Thanks for adding it to bbshowcase.
Hey there,
my problem/question might be funny, but I just don’t get it. Just upgraded bbpress to 0.9.1 and set it up to be integrated with wordpress 2.5 (they both share the same DB).
in the bbpress config, i have the WP_ prefix set and everything seems to sync well.
But now all posts in the bbpress forums done by users that registered at the bbpress forums are signed as “Anonymous” and all these users are neither listed in the bbpress nor in the worspress admin.
To test, i removed the WP_prefix from the bbpress config, then these users are back, but for sure this is not the idea since i’d like to integrate both things.
Am I getting this all wrong, or is there any way to “import” the bbpress users into WP or something (without manually editing the database)?
Thanks!
Christophe
Interesting design.
Here’s another live demo via bbShowcase:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/?bbtheme=peacemaker-bbpress
I had an e-mail saying that the latest bbpress broke my port, so I’ve done a re-release
http://www.linickx.com/archives/402/k2-for-bbpress-updated-v002
Yep, site is down…. not encouraging.
Wow, as I read your description of the problem initially I thought to myself, “sounds like a caching issue”.
A good note for the future. I assume you are loading WordPress inside bbPress then?
If bbPress and WordPress are in the same database then hopefully all you should have to do is add this line to your bb-config.php after the database definitions:
$wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';
I upgraded BBPress and it now does not use the wp_users table. How can I get it to work with the wp_users table again?
Hello all,
I am new to bbPress, just installed it for the first time ever and I am wondering how can I disable the “Latest Discussions” section so that only the forums show on the front page.
Thanks,
Jordan
I currently have bbpress .9.0.1. installed as well as wordpress 2.3.3. The user databases are integrated (I have mouldy old cookie and reverted back to the md5 hashing system). The only difference from a normal installation is that my table prefix for wordpress is nothing, not wp_. Now I set this correctly in order to integrate the user databases on the wordpress admin page, however I heard sambauers mention in another post that this could cause an issue with the bbpress role integrator? What is even wierder is if someone registers through bbpress they still do not get a role, and cannot post.

Good question GoeffF, looks like it used to be here:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes
But clicking on it just refreshes the page. Clicking on the author’s link takes you to a rather nebulous blog which for all I know has the code for the theme (if it’s even still the blog of the original guy) but good luck finding it.
Was there a legal issue with posting that theme? Did bbPress not approve?
Hey,
I just released my third bbPress theme! Let me know what you guys think!

Matching WordPress theme on the way.
I don’t know the proper way to fix this. Is the user in the database someone you created or is that someone else? If it is one of your users, I think I would change the email on that account and then request a password reset for that account. Then you can change the password and change the email back. That would only help if the user is a keymaster/admin. If not, this will not help.
There used to be a way to create a new keymaster account by adding a line to the config.php (now bb-config.php).
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-login-1#post-795
I would backup your database first because I have no idea what this actually does and I don’t want you to lose anything.
Hi!
Now integration is ok but there are 2 profiles for all the users: wp profile and bb profile. I see people prefers bb profile (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-profile-link-bb-vs-wp, http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-user-profile-link-on-wp) but I want to link the wp profile instead.
Any idea? I need a long explication because I’m beginner.
Thanx
This one had me stumped but I just figured it out. I should probably document the solve it here in case others encounter the same problem.
Like many people, I have bbpress installed in a subdirectory below wordpress:
/myblog/bbpress/
I also use the popular wp-super-cache plugin for wordpress. It turns out, you really need to add your bbpress directory to the list of rejected URI’s for wp-super-cache. For the above example, you’d want to add this line to the Rejected URI’s field:
/bbpress/
Otherwise, your bbpress board and the administration panel will be semi-randomly showing you old cached pages. Unsurprisingly, this can cause all sorts of strangeness including apparently activating/de-activating plugins, showing plugins that you’ve deleted, etc.
