I think you should start a new topic.
If you deleted the WordPress database and your your bbPress installation was in the same database, then your bbPress installation is gone. You might restore from backup, but other than that you need to reinstall fresh.
Another fix for another caching bug:
The query below is never cached – hence if the avatar is for a user other than the current one and is shown multiple times on a page, it causes a query each time since it does not pass through the bbpress caching mechanism.
(around line 117)
$bb_query = "SELECT meta_value FROM $bbdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key='avatar_file' AND user_id='$id' LIMIT 1";
if ( $avatar = $bbdb->get_results($bb_query) ) {
replace with this code to properly cache and radically reduce queries on a busy topic:
if ( $avatar = bb_get_usermeta( $id, "avatar_file")) {
$a = explode("|", $avatar);
note that $avatar[0]->meta_value is then simply replaced with $avatar
This may require newer versions of bbpress (build 904+) but that was seven months ago as of my post now.
I think I am going to whip up a little “import gravatar” feature for this.

I’ve got an error occurring when users click to get the email to reset their password. When they then click on the link in the email they sometimes get a page with a bbpress header which simply displays the message ‘Key Not Found’. It doesn’t appear that the link is breaking in the email – anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem? thanks in advance for any help!
Only if they choose to redistribute it. If they just run it as a service where the code is never sold to it’s customers – either as source or compiled – then they are under no obligation to release the source. I doubt it serves their interests to release the theme and in my opinion that’s fair enough and in the spirit of the GPL.
Besides this, it is arguable whether they would be bound by the GPL or not. As a theme strictly speaking isn’t a modification of bbPress (it’s just separate code that is compatible with the theme architecture) and the idea of “linking” as stated in the GPL is pretty vague when it comes to PHP applications. It was originally devised to cover more traditional application models where linking to libraries is more clearly defined.
Gotta love kiwis, looks great!
I doubt bbpress will ever have native image support (you mean inline right?) That’s just too much “heavily lifting” which is always deferred to plugins.
ps. “Tiny”MCE is such a misnomer. It’s 125k of code!
Sorry, I should have been more thorough. Follow these instructions at the bottom of the page.

I installed a fresh copy of bbpress and it got installed without any problems. However during installation as well, I couldn’t see any CSS formatting across the install pages.
And when I get the login screen : http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/
it also doesn’t show any css formatting. Although, when I try to login it takes me to a blank page.
What could be the issue ?
We’re now running bbpress in our support forums and I must say I absolutely love it – we have integrated it quite nicely with wordpress.
My Wishlist:
- ability to add a search form – in WordPress integration mode
- How I wish TinyMC was integrated
- Even nicer WordPress integration
- Native image support

Yeah I think it would, because bb uses a lot of similar mechanisms, but making it gather stats on bb would be most of the work anyway (so you’re probably not saving much work this way). You’ve got to find the right filters and process the data in a specific way anyway; it’s not complicated, it just takes someone to do all that legwork.
You know about bb’s (rudimentary) stats, don’t you? Just hit up http://example.com/bbpress/statistics.php.
Wild question, does anybody know if it would be possible to modify the WP Stats plugin to work with BBPress? Quickly looking at it I dont know why not, but I have a pretty rotten ability of making plugins and or converting plugins. My wishes frequently outpace my abilities (or reality).
Hi:
I’m integrating bbpress with Amember and am embedding a login form in the forum pages. I am looking for the bb_option that returns the current url. This way, after a login, I can redirect the user back to the original page.
It appears the bbpress login code is smart enough to parse the referring page. The amember code needs to be fed this information when the login form is called.
edwinfoo: it looks like there’s a problem with the CSS on your site. The #thread li referenced above by fel64 won’t work for you because it looks like you have renamed it to #thread1 (maybe just a typo in your theme.) So, the CSS for #thread won’t apply to #thread1. If you add CSS for #thread1 or remove the 1 from the end of the <ol id=”#thread” in your theme, it works fine (I just tried it.)
This <ol id="thread1" start="1"> needs to look more like <ol id="thread" start="1">.
If you need numbers there for each unique thread, you’re going to have to do it differently, not appending a thread number to the end of the id “thread”: that changes the id from #thread to #thread-(whatever number).

bbPress == Free Software.
And actually, spending money when you can’t do something yourself is pretty much how it works. If I can’t rebuild the engine on my car, I pay someone to do it. I don’t think anyone was suggesting you spend more money: upgrading to the latest release is good advice when the software is in BETA. It makes troubleshooting things easier to know you have the latest release. In this case though, I don’t think upgrading will have any effect on this problem. It can be solved with CSS, not new functions or bug fixes from the latest bbPress.
I can live without integration but it would be nice to have shared header and sidebar code. I just wanted to log my observation in case someone else had the same problem.
I imagine with all the new focus on forum software these issues will eventually get mowed down.
It sounds vaguely to me like a timeout issue, where something in the ajax is waiting for a response from the server.
It would probably take more debugging time that it’s worth, you’d have to watch requests in realtime either from your side through a firewall or from the server side logs (ie. tail).
I haven’t kept up with the ajax changes in wordpress since 2.1 so I have no idea what’s going on there – wish I could be more help. Ajax is usually the first thing I gut out of wordpress (and bbpress).
Sounds like you have the database name in there incorrectly. If WordPress is working, then you just need to enter the exact same details in the bbPress config.php for the database.
I have reverted to straight BBpress. Topic page loads went from 4-6s back to 200ms. The js components, for reasons I do not understand, load much more slowly with a full wp include.
You should always evaluate the “need” to run WP with BB at the same time. I don’t mean shared login and common cookies which is simple integration, but instead having bbpress load all of wordpress for every page page. That’s a HUGE number of files and mysql calls being generated for every page, multiplied by the number of plugins you have with their own mysql stored settings.
Many times there are ways around loading both at the same time with a few tricks and plugins. If you are on a shared/vps host that’s giving you limited resources you may find streamlining absolutely necessary to deal with any bursts in traffic.
I just completed a WP/BB integration and have noticed a speed decrease.
According to Firebug, most of the delay is in the downloading of the .js ajax components.
The other thing I noticed is gmt_offset no longer seems to work- the time displayed is always GMT.
My bbPress install is integrated with my WordPress install and they serve members of my orchestra. Both the WP-part as the bbPress-part are only accessible for registered users. However we have a few kinds of users: substitutes (users that fill in vacancies temporarily), aspiring members (users that want to become member but who haven’t auditioned yet) en members.
In bbPress I want to block the substitutes and give the aspiring members an inactive role. However, it doesn’t work. When I edit someone’s profile and set his role to blocked or inactive and click edit profile, nothing’s changed.
I’m using bbPress 0.8.3.1.
Does this have any effect on the speed wp pages are loaded? When I include this line the pages take about four times as long to load. When I remove it, they go back to normal. Anyway to avoid this drastic slowdown?
Sure this “upgrade” is not for current functionality. To make this function clear it would be useful to have a working example in the default template 
there are so many unused functions in the include map, why is this unused function included in the default template (makes no sense to me)
@fel64, believe me I know the bbpress files maybe a little too much, hehe…
