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!
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?

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.
