I am a new user, but if I had the time this would be a good first plug-in write for me. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time. Sooo, if anyone does have the time and interest, a very useful plug-in would place a button at the bottom of every post that says something like “Report Abuse”. If someone sees spam in a post or foul language, etc., they click on this link and a report is sent to the moderator.
This is used in many large forums I use and could help control misuse of a bbPress forum.
Thank you
PS I posted this in another thread before it occurred to me to start a new topic.

You’re almost there. You need to either turn on multiviews or rewrite rules in your htaccess file if you want to use slugs. See #2 or #3 here:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/
I recommend #3 even though it’s a few more steps.
Some servers don’t even support multiviews so #3 is a must.
Just installed/activated your “Human Test” plug-in. I am using bbPress version 0.8.3.1. Everything works fine. No issues.
Thank you.
By the way, I heard of WordPress for the first time on Sunday, found it a few minutes later, installed it a few minutes after that and input two years of articles I had written that same day. I installed a few plug-ins the next day and then found bbPress. Installed that the same day (Monday). It was working fine and found a matching template for both WordPress and bbPress the next day (Wednesday). With very little tweaking (mostly my errors) and no visits to the WordPress or bbPress forums for help, I am up and running with a very presentable, professional looking, and fully functional blog/user forum. Absolutely incredible!!! I am notifying my subscribers later this morning about their new resource via email. Not bad for four days of work.
Thank you good folks behind WordPress and bbPress!
Whoops, guess you need to actually post something first before the RSS works! Duh! Anyway, all is well again here in MasterDATA land.
By the way, although I didn’t need to do any of this (I already had when installing), the following link here in the bbPress forum may be helpful to those still dealing with the issue noted in this thread:
Using RSS Feeds
Good luck!
I have the same problem. Think I asked S010 over at trac (https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/633#comment:14) about this, but I havn’t seen no answer …
Hi,
I’ve been working with bbPress, vBulletin and Invision Power Board since each one of them made their debuts and I’m very good at integrating them into many CMS, mainly our beloved WordPress blogging software and Joomla.
So I’m offering my integration services to those fustrated souls fighting to integrate bbPress, vBulletin and Invision Power Board into your WordPress blog.
Check out my site http://invisionbridge.com for the latest guides on how to integrate bbPress, vBulletin and IPB into your WordPress.

I just downloaded/installed bbPress yesterday and page comes up blank when clicking “RSS” in Profile. Help is appreciated.
Tank you.
Correction its not the plugin’s fault its when i call the bbpress/functions api from wp-config coz i want to use them in the wp site :
if ( !defined('BBDB_NAME') )
require_once(ABSPATH.'community/bb-load.php');
also i get a bozo.php related error :
Error:
Warning: Missing argument 2 for bb_bozo_pre_post_status() in /home/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/community/bb-includes/bozo.php on line 173
I think they are all come from upgrading to WP 2.3.3 …
if anyone can help it will be cool
tnx
By the way, the article you reference in the link above (http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/better-bbpress-wordpress-integration-the-missing-faq)
Are all of the steps still necessary? Or are some of them no longer needed due to the new integration options during bbPress installation?
I have exactly the same problem the wp plugin “bbPress Integration” causing it somehow when i disable it wp editing works as normal when i enable it i get slashes “” everywhere when i edit post / comment / theme from wp administration all plugins / bbpress / wp are the latests versions…
also my server php.ini config are:
magic_quotes_gpc Off Off
magic_quotes_runtime Off Off
magic_quotes_sybase Off Off
can anyone help? 
Which host are you with, that might be an error from the glob function being using without proper testing to see if it’s supported.

Well I used the current trunk version of WP, and 1075 of BB, installation went fine (nice new installer helped integration along nicely). Thanks for the help!
But, I am getting an error at the top of each page in bbPress:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/path/to/forum/bb-settings.php on line 294
(Path to bb-settings.php removed)
Is this a known issue? What could I do to resolve it?
Build 1075 of the trunk will work with WordPress 2.5 and matches the new password method. There is also talk of some kind of bbPress updated release around or with WP 2.5
Either way you are covered – just don’t modify core files (only templates and plugins) and you should be okay. You’ll only have to do a small edit to the config.php (bb-config.php) file when the time comes to match the secret key in WP to BB.
I haven’t used bbPress in a while and I’ve just started thinking about using it again. A few months ago it was relatively easy to integrate bbPress and WordPress, from what I’ve been reading in the forums, things have changed.
With the incorporation of ‘backPress’ etc, what’s my best bet for setting up a new site with bbPress and WordPress sharing users and cookies?
I’d really like to use the latest version of WordPress, is there a certain changeset of bbPress I should use?
The posts don’t really matter to me. I just one one place for my users to have a profile. When they sign up for an account it takes them to the WP profile. They still need to go into the BB profile to change that info. Maybe I’ll just hack the wp profile page and add a link to the bbpress profile page. Think there is a better way?
Did we get anywhere on this topic. I am in the same boat. Looking to have one profile page… Preferably bbpress’s profile. Am I just not noticing the plugin?
My solution doesn’t need template editing and has stopped all such activity on my site:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/
I’m not an official voice by any means but IMHO bbPress at this time is more of a do-it-yourself type project that is definitely non-commercial in nature. It’s also in a pre-release state which means in general it’s not ready for “primetime” if you can’t deal with working out quirks.
If you need something commercial, especially in a hurry and have little technical experience, you need a commercial solution like vbulletin. Just be cautioned however you’ll need a more powerful server to host it’s bulk and since it’s commercial, everything for it will be cost – support, addons, etc. There’s always a trade off.
So far this has solved the problem for me completely:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/
I’ll augment it as they adapt.
With all those links in the posts, it appears that akismet is not working. Do you have an akismet ket and is it entered in your config.php? That would prevent the posts loaded with links, in any case.
Regarding the registrations, there is a “Human Test” plugin that might help:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/signupregistration-captcha#post-13429
Or, maybe something more complex like a CAPTCHA:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/spam-registration#post-11879
Or this tip:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fight-against-auto-register-robot#post-12246
Just search this forum for registration and you’ll see lots of approaches to handling it.
Obviously bbpress takes someone with a good understanding of php and I don’t have that. I have contacted 2 of you offering to pay you to help me but have heard nothing back. I didn’t want to ditch my wordpress, I liked it. I sure didn’t want to ditch either wp or bbpress after I’d worked to create templates that went with my site, but what good are templates if I can’t open the forums to my site visitors because they just aren’t working?
I’ve had a headache over this for several days now. I’ve found another forum software with a blog that I can also buy a month of phone support for ~ total cost for forum, blog, and one month phone support = US $195.00 (can take credit card or paypal). I would still rather pay someone here who has good working forums to get mine fixed ~~~ rather than start with creating a new template. I am doing one of the two tomorrow ~ if no one here is willing to help, I will be forced to go with the other product.
IF you are willing to help, you MUST have good, working bbpress forums running somewhere so that I can see your abilities. That’s how I chose the two members that I have already contacted. I checked out their forums.
Hi- We’ve been trying in desperation to stop spambots from registering profiles on our very active bbpress forums, and despite the captcha test we installed, it seems they are circumventing the registration process and creating new accounts all the time. We’re getting around 50 fake profiles a day.
We’re being told by several sources that this is a bug in the current version of bbpress and there is no solution for it. We simply can’t accept this, that bbpress would be open to such severe bugs.
Right now we’re manually deleting profiles and we’re seriously considering abandoning this plattform for a more secure foums solution that works with WordPress.
Do you have any insight into how to stop them from creating bogus profiles? Right now for some reason they are all having their birthday as Feb 2, 2008.
You can see some of the profiles here:
http://www.feastoffools.net/community/profile.php?id=2107
If you make it too easy then everyone will have one, and what will happen then?
Before long it will be possible to talk to bbpress instead of type….
