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 That would be bad since the reference they hold pointing to the post is no longer valid.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!
It’s just for convenience, and right now I’m doing a lot of test posts, so it’s quicker to delete those posts with the checkbox. I was deleting them in phpmyadmin, then read _ck_’s post about the plugin. If you don’t mind, can you explain how my deleting posts and topics through phpmyadmin would affect a plugin? So far, though, I only have the anonymous user plugin.
I agree. For deleting posts, I would do it through bb-admin and if there is a need for something like this, it’s probably plugin territory. For a mass edit, which wasn’t really explained, I don’t see a problem using phpMyAdmin and a regex to update some text.
Don’t have one. I got rid of it when I got turned off the pretty permalinks.
Since I uploaded with integration in wp, what exactly should I do to delete this installation so I can try it again? I know I need to deletemy bbpress tables, but I also know that it added info to my wp tables, or at least some ofthem.
Thanks,
D
It may be important to do deletes through bbpress and not phpmyadmin because there may be plugins that hook into the delete process.
I’ll look into making my recent posts plugin have the ability to do deletes via checkbox. Or it might be possible to mod the existing bbpress admin page.
(I assume this is a spamming issue or something like that)
If you’re looking to do something like that, I would use phpMyAdmin and access the posts directly. You also have two separate issues: mass edit and mass delete. What exactly are you trying to do?
> Is this a security issue? Are the forums at risk of sql injections?
No – or if they are, this isn’t a symptom (in my opinion, as ever). bbPress just isn’t prepared for this case. Cheers for reporting it.
If you have an .htaccess file in your bbpress directory, remove it or rename it temporarily and see if the 404’s go away.
ah you are right
Opened a TRAC ticket on this.
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/785
Sorry about the site name, _ck_! I agree with your decision, much easier to get it right when I type it in!
I’m so glad you knew where to find Omegacool ~~~ that theme is perfect!
Thanks so much!

Omegacool has a wp.com site too, there are download links there as well:
http://mundoarroba.wordpress.com/2007/05/24/theme-misty-para-bbpress/
(ps. it’s bbShowcase.org I decided bbpressshowcase was just too long and too many sss’s 
by mass edit/delete, i mean edit/delete multiple posts at once (with a checkbox). I don’t want to click each one, then click the pop-up dialogue boxes that ask me to confirm the delete.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to also furnish a few colleagues a German assistance side approximately over bbPress, so that the German users also an approach place to have and can exchange itself, because on bbPress.de already for a long time nix more is the matter, so that we want to take over the support. Now is my question whether correct it is and whether the name may be used bbPress in the Domaion? I would be pleased much about a positive answer. Yours sincerely
Anyone know what happened to Omegacool??? Ican’t get this theme, but I saw it on http://www.bbpressshowcase.com and loved it! I think I would be able to work my own site’s theme into it fairly well.
Thanks!

If you cannot get into admin panel it’s one of two reasons:
1. cookie hashes & paths don’t match
2. you do not have the proper role set under bbpress as administrator
The 404’s may be caused by turning on slugs without multiviews or proper mod_rewrite rules. If you have slugs turned on, turn them off temporarily (in your config.php) until you solve the other problem. ie.
$bb->mod_rewrite = false;
I am betting on the role not being set in bbPress that’s preventing you from getting to the admin panel. This can be inspected/fixed via phpmyadmin. I’ve been meaning to write an auto-load plugin to fix this issue automagically.
UPDATE:
I’ve whipped up a little plugin to restore proper admin access roles for both bbPress and WordPress without having to tinker in phpmyadmin:
http://bbshowcase.org/plugins/fix_admin_access.zip
Copy this to your plugins directory in bbPress OR WordPress (not both). Then access bbPress or WordPress (whichever you used). Then test you can access admin panel. Then DELETE the plugin off your server. There is no reason to leave it there.
(you MUST leave the leading underscore “_” on the plugin name which makes it auto-load without having to activate it first. I have not tested it from the WP side but in theory should be fine.)
If you look in your admin panel under content, you should have the new content->posts feature where you can search for posts by specific users, content, etc. Then you can delete via the list.
should be under the admin panel under content, or
/forums/bb-admin/content-posts.php
This code is supposed to go in bb-admin/install.php for the plugin that allows users to post anonymously. My bbpress was already active when I discovered the plugin, so, of course, i didn’t want to run the install file again. So, can you translate this for me so that I can possibly make the changes manually? Thanks. The code is as follows:
bb_update_usermeta( '0', $bb_table_prefix . 'capabilities', array('anonymous' => true) );
hans3, thank you. that worked. 
is there a way to mass edit/delete posts?
where do if ind bbpress themes?
Thanks.
You create a my-plugins folder where your forum is installed and put them in there.
where do you place plugins in bbpress?
The notions about the fold and some other things finally got through me. I just changed things around further; requiring registration to see the content, among other things.
I really like how easy it was with BBpress to make these changes possible – literally less than 20mins. To make things show up only when a user is logged in, I used a bunch of these:
<?php
if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {
include ‘path/to/include.php’;
}
else {
echo ‘ ‘;
}
?>
