I don’t know whether I did it or if it was in the template I modified, but posting a topic in the main Dog Breed Forum didn’t correct the issue. I posted my forum.php code in the pastebin:

Thanks,_ck_ ~ I only hope that I understand php and bbpress forums as well as you do one day!

When you go into a forum, it should show you all the sub-forums available. If there are no topics in that forum however, it may just immediately jump to add new topic – that may be a bug in how bbPress works. Try creating a test topic in the main forum that has sub-forums.
If your forum has topics and still does not show sub-forums, you edited your theme somewhere and removed it or you are using a theme that removed the feature. If so, put into pastebin your forum.php page from your theme and show it to me.
Quoto from simpler integration with wordpress:
Do so by defining WP_BB as true in either config.php or wp-config.php. Also, WordPress will have to be loaded first.
I use WP and BB with german language! If I include wp-blog-header.php in the configuration file (config.php) of bbpress, the following error occurs:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class streamreader in /homepages/.../www/forum/bb-includes/streams.php on line 26
If I uncomment the lines 122 + 123 in bb-settings.php:
// include_once(BBPATH . BBINC . ‘streams.php’);
// include_once(BBPATH . BBINC . ‘gettext.php’);
No error occurs … but the forum is in english!
I use WP 2.3.3 and bbpress 0.8.3.1 … WP is installed in web root and bbpress in the subfolder “forum”.
Is there a documented way to fix this … or a workaround?
cu, helpy
Among my installs I help maintain a very large/active bbpress forum and google sometimes indexes new pages less than a minute after they are created. It’s creepy! I think they do it based on people who have the Google Toolbar installed and browse the page.
I call this “reverse integration”.
Unless there is something I am overlooking, I believe the easiest way to do this is to use phpmyadmin to either rename or export bb_users and bb_usermeta to wp_users and wp_usermeta.
(you’d have to get rid of the existing wp_users wp_usermeta first of course)
Then you will need my fix-admin-access plugin to restore access to the WP admin panel since your role will no longer exist. This assumes you as the keymaster are user #1.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/
It may be possible to work around this bug by putting the name directly into the db via phpmyadmin. There are a few other bbPress forums in Arabic though so I am not sure how they got around it.
(also make sure there is no whitespace after the ending ?> in config.php)
Sorry for posting it this way, butI’mkind of lost and need help finding my way though some of this. If you have a reasonable fee, I am willing to pay you to help me get my bbpress fixed the way I want it and correctly integrated with my wordpress. I have managed to get my theme customized, but I don’t speak php and am having SERIOUS trouble with a number of things (ie Avatar Upload and others) that you have managed to incorporate into your bbpress forums.

Well that would actually be my next question as I am not familiar with the legal limits of opensource/gnu software. Am I allowed to make a bundled version of bbPress and use part of the name bbPress as long as I am clear I didn’t make the core product, and include the GPL license?
Hi there, (not sure if this is an appropriate place to post this.)
We’re looking for someone to hire to help us fix some bugs on our WordPress/Bbpress integrated site. Here are some of the bugs:
1- user profile pics missing from blog comments
2- Backslashes appear in blog comments
3- Backslashes appear if you modify any php files via the wordpress interface.
4- User names with apostrophes, accents or usual characters display oddly
5- Cant modfiy the way a author or user name displays
6- private messaging is disabled
7- users can’t modify profile pictures.
Feel free to look around and see the bugs: http://www.feastoffools.net
SessionX, what is the issue with bbpress.de, as far as I can tell the forums are still active? There is nothing stopping you using a domain name with bbPress in it, but it would be nice if you clarified your “unofficial” position and provided links back to here.
Even though there is no demo, the screenshot looks nice! Good deal!

This site uses both, WordPress and bbPress. Also plug-ins from many members of bbpress.org.
Integration takes about 10-15 minutes once you’ve
installed both WordPress and bbPress .
You just have to get the cookie hashes and paths to match
and make sure bbPress allows the looser names that WordPress does as well as set the roles for WordPress if you allow registration through the bbPress side.
I have a new bbPress theme called Black-Letterhead. It’s derived from the default Kakumei theme. This theme is a takeoff from my WordPress Theme also called Black-Letterhead.
Here’s the download and preview links:

Sorry, no live demo available.
What does integration mean to you? What features would an integrated install have for you? I’m curious because integration means different things to different people.
Hello, really very beautiful Themes. Do you have which against it if I translate and with also for the Download offer these into German with left for you? LG
I agree that people get turned off by downloading and installing something that does not work, then they search out plugins to add functionality, and the plugins no longer work, and that is certainly discouraging. But I don’t think creating a ‘Plus’ download is the way to go. I think a better job needs to be done on the releases, to ensure they work, and then somehow plugins need to be updated. Since bbPress is so young, a lot of the plugins that were written no longer work with current releases. There are “required version” and “compatible up to” fields, which are populated and appear to be accurate, but maybe they’re not always maintained. The Extend section seems like it’s gotten some love lately, so maybe the plugins will remain compatible longer now, or at least someone will check on them. I know writing and maintaining a plugin is a huge commitment.
In short, I know it’s frustrating to download software that doesn’t always work, then find plugins to solve problems only to install those and not have them work, but I don’t think a ‘Plus’ release is the way around that.
Just a caution that something is making my bb-benchmark dump the results publicly on your pages.
I’ve just posted 0.19 so you might want to make sure you use that.
Hi SessionX,
I would recommend to you to get in contact with the developers on https://bbpress.org/about/development/ cause me and most other members can`t help you.

I also believe there is code on the WordPress side that uses 3rd party mailers like gmail or yahoo to send passwords. This could be easily adapted to bbPress as a plugin.
I don’t think deleting them with phpMyAdmin affects any plugin specifically, but deleting them directly in the database doesn’t remove all references to those posts. I suspect there are other references to those posts that are not removed when you remove the post directly. Take a look in the admin panel at Site Management > Recount. Those are all things that are tied into posts somehow. For example, maybe a member has a post listed as their last post, then you delete that post. That would be bad since the reference they hold pointing to the post is no longer valid.
So, deleting just a post in the database is a bad idea. Doesn’t sound like you need to mass edit any posts, so for deleting them, use the bbPress admin panel, not phpMyAdmin.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
I need play-by-play instructions on importing user info from an already existing BBpress database to a fresh WordPress install. Can anyone help me?
Thank you so much!
