Yes, you need a feed reader. IE7 has one built in, Firefox does too, and you can add RSS feeds to a Google personalized homepage (which is what I took a screenshot of.)
Autodiscovery works fine for your site. Here’s your latest posts feed: http://www.hooligans-gaming.net/forums/rss.php
Google Reader is a feed reader as well. Try viewing your feed there.

Really, I can’t find any place it’s NOT working:

There is no plugin for Akismet – it’s already included with bbPress. All you need to do is add your Akismet key to your config.php to use it That’s all.
I think this will be changing in the future, but for current releases, it’s built in.
Works fine for me with Firefox and my Google homepage. See this after I added your feed:

No problem at all. Where are you trying to view this feed?
Hi, I’m having an issue on my forum: http://argentinastravel.com/forums/
Basically, when I post a formatted link like ‘link here‘ it gets wiped out and instead bbpress saves ‘link here‘ What could be going on?
Thanks!
That latest discussions plugin is for wordpress… I’ve been talking about the latest discussions view in bbpress that is part of the My Views plugin.
Thanks. Would you need to have WordPress in order to use the Latest Discussions plugin? You have WordPress and bbPress integrated together, and the plugin’s page said that the plugin will generates Latest Discussion list from your bbpress forum into your WordPress. I’m not using WordPress on my forum.
Oh. I didn’t know there was a Latest Discussions plugin. But it seems to work only up to .8 and I have version .83. I tried the latest version of My Views, but it didn’t include a Latest Discussions file. What bbPress version do you use?
I think my avatars are an okay size. Thanks for joining my forum by the way.
http://www.plus64.net – slowly going through and editing the templates as well as the css.
So tell me what you think of it atm anyway – or while progress is being made.
For my site, I’m using the bbpress login as the site-wide login… so when I put a login link on the wordpress side of the site the user would be redirected to the forum every time after login… kinda annoying.
With this new knowledge I should be able to fix it so they are redirected back, even to a non-bbpress page.
Just letting you know the next release will now be version 0.9 instead of 0.8.4
The sticky announcement has been updated to reflect this.

@ SteveAgl
Potentially there are strings still going into the release now. We will be sure to release a .pot file soon after the release is available.
Hello,
I’m currently in developement of a gaming website over at http://www.hooligans-gaming.net
I’ll be using WordPress along with bbPress to bring out the site to it’s full beauty as soon as time grants it.
I wanted to know if there is a plugin out there or a way I can make it so when I post a news post on the front page that it will also post in a forum I will have created called “News & Updates” to serve as an archive of sorts.
The forum would be locked except for those posts.
Any ideas?
I should note that mdawaffe has pointed out to me that apparently bbPress would do this previously if the user has referer’s enabled in their browser. But since most “personal firewalls” block referers by default, you can’t count on that behavior and this change will make it always work instead.
0.8.4 will supposedly have this new ability by default…
Hi beaulebens,
I like your site!
Which version of wpmu and bbpress are you running? Which plugins are you using for the integration. (I had to modify some cookie setting code in bbpress to get the single signon working properly: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-subtle-bug-single-sign-on-bbpress-and-wordpress)
BBsync doesn’t work with WPMU, btw.
What other things have you customized? Thanks for sharing!
I am a bit confused about the wordpress and bbpress integration plugins.
Is WordPress Integration(0.7) plugin necessary? it was last updated a year ago, and I now have single signon between the two apps without the WordPress Integration plugin. Does it do something else that I am not aware of?
thanks
I fixed the problem by making changes to the bb_cookie() and bb_logout() since wpmu and bbpress set cookies differently: (the expire times are different). If anyone wants to me to post the code, please let me know.
Also, I added the “cookiedomain” to the config.php
Here’s the full list relevant to the integration.
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://achillesblog.com';
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://achillesblog.com';
$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';
$bb->cookiepath = '/';
$bb->cookiedomain = '.achillesblog.com';
$bb->path='/forum/';
By the way, since the registration and login/out process in wordpress is a bit more advanced than bbPress, many people just change all the bbpress links for such actions to use the WordPress links. WordPress can even redirect back to the point of logout/login.
_ck_, I cleared all the cookies for this domain when doing the test. I also closed all open pages, and started fresh.
The three cookies that I see generated when doing this test on both BBPress and WPMU are:
wordpressuser
wordpresspass
wordpress_test_cookie
I’ll look at the code for logging out of wpmu, and also see if anything gets changed in the database. I’ll then compare that to how BBPress logs out and see if it makes any changes in the database too.
Thanks for the link, but he basically added:
‘
$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;
$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;
‘
And I’ve already done that.
FofR, he’s trying to integrate WPMU, not WP, with BBpress
Hopefully you folks can help me. I have a few questions about integration and bbPress. What I have right now is a custom built populated member database with passwords, usernames, emails, etc.
What I would like to do is get bbPress to “hook” into this database instead of having to have two member/user tables to keep synchronized. Is there a certain way you’d go about doing this, that perhaps isn’t too messy? Or will it require rewriting a lot of code?
I’ve found a lot of WordPress integration help here, but really not much on integrating with other types of websites (aside from template editing). So any help would be great, even if you just give me a little push in the right direction. Thanks.
