As well, wordpress.com is a huge forum as well as the wordpress MU forum is getting there. Each of the wordpress forums have 2,000+ new registrations each day. Pretty large examples.

Wait, there are numerous people installing bbpress as their only website program without having WP installed? Why? It’s such an early, early beta and has virtually no administration features. Any mature forum program can blow it away right now. Are they masacists or just running really tiny, micro forums?
Just out of curiosity, what are the largest known bbpress forums, other than the wordpress site and here? I suspect the forum I’ve integrated is probably in the top 10 since it has over 100 daily active users (with 800+ registered from the wordpress config).
Since we have a contact address, closing this thread.

BBpress has no mass search/delete feature, unlike several wordpress plugins that are available. Even the upcoming search feature that was posting on the blog doesn’t seem to have an “action” ability, just search, which doesn’t make sense, so maybe there will be more to it.
Trying searching and deleting 50+ posts by hand, not worth it.
Recount will only update counts, not pointers.
I am just about finished with a new function to do this however.
Right now it only updates the last poster id and name, the trickiest part was figuring out the proper mysql expression to grab the last item while grouping by topic_id. Took an hour of research.
But in fact my routine could be extended further to rebuild the entire topics database from scratch if need be since all the data is in the posts and it’s just kept in the topics table for speed.
I just find it surprising there isn’t such a routine already and I am hoping I am not duplicating efforts already done.
Ok.
The warning prints every time I post or save. I realize it doesnt actually crash the website, but that warning is the only thing that appears.
This is what is inserted into the user_meta. Its inserted when published or saved. It doesnt seem to be duplicated again after I save it if its already in there, but if I delete the listing, then it is re added
capabilities a:1:{s:6:"member";b:1;}
oddly enough it is not putting the bb_ in front of capabilities which may be a clue to whats happening.
(I dont have $bb_roles in the config.php)
Also a new post is put in bbpress each time it syncs.
From what I gather: line 275 of capabilities.php is looking for an array to loop through which should have the capabilities.

ok – using bbpress 0.8.2.1, wpmu (which is wp 2.2.1), and I have the users integrated.
When I post through WP, it makes both the WP post and the bbpress post correctly, but this error appears. From what I can tell, the actually the usermeta information is being duplicated in the database for the person posting and it then crashes because it cant successfully get the capabilities.
here is the crash:
Warning: array_filter(): The second argument, 'Array', should be a valid callback in bb-includes/capabilities.php on line 271
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in bb-includes/capabilities.php on line 275

Ive trimmed the server path a little.
I am wading through it trying to understand how you set it up. It nicely done, but I dont understand why this is happening.

I think you’d check for a bbpress global, like $bb. But how did you get it working in the end?
Was there a ticket in trac already for this? Because I just added one.
There are so many integration problems in bbpress that IMHO feature additions should be on hold until tighter integration is achieved. I can’t see a major userbase other than WP users for bbpress.
I know how to brute force it (just add the html) but I’d like to have it appear in the output wp_list_pages() so that links to the forum blend nicely with the rest of my WP/bbPress site.
So I created a WP page for the forum, so that puts the link in beautifully, but the forum doesn’t appear on the page (duh). iFrames are not a good solution, so I’d like to stay away from them.
Or I can brute force it, but then the link can only appear at the beginning or end of wp_list_pages() output.
I never could get wpmu to run on top of bbpress. Evertime I tried wpmu would think I wanted to create a blog named boards instead of load the installation of bbpress in the directory called boards. (If anyone has a solution for that PLEASE point me in the right direction)
My friend (atomAstro on here) figured this out. In your wpmu-settings.php file you need to add some code around line 119.
This:
if( $blogname == 'bbpress' ){
return true;
}
Should be added right above this:
if( is_array( $pages ) == false )
return false;
Change $blogname = ‘bbpress’ to whatever your bbPress directory is called.
Just wanted to share that I’d had some success with integrating some simpler wordpress plugins into bbpress by creating some functions to mimic get_settings() and update_options()
Since bbpress fortunately uses differently named functions for the same actions, I was able to make them point to the wordpress table instead of bbpress and fetch the proper options that the plugins were calling for.
Not sure how useful this would be to anyone else and it’s not for novices since other little tweaks are usually necessary and admin menus are definitely not supported, but it’s nice to have the integration ability.
ps. maybe we need a separate integration sub-forum
I have recently installed bbpress and then created a new directory named my-plugins, where I have also placed bbpress integration.
The problem is whilst I can SEE (thus activate bbpress integration plugin) I can NOT see display-name.php plugin under site management. I have definitely uploaded it.
With regard to collegemates’ error above:
XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://mysite/rss.php?profile=1
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version=”1.0″?><!– generator=”bbPress” –>
I’ve been getting the same error when trying to subscribe to favorites or forums. Topics works great, thou. Is there anyone out there with any clue to this problem?
ok I’ve even tried version 0.73 but still encountering errors. Can anyone help?
Go here:
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags
Click on a version to enter that directory, then scroll to the bottom of the file list. There you will find a link to download a Zip Archive of that directory.

Hi all I also get an error on like the one experienced above:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() in phpbb2bbpress.php on line 383
Can anyone tell me how I can resolve this.
I also notice that this converter has not been updated, is it going to be anytime soon?
AND whilst converting WHY does it STATE that all emails are being forwarded to SPAMMERS? (Can’t remember the exact words). Is this meant to be a joke?
Thanks in advance.
Hi all
I am interested in moving my forum from Punbb to bbpress as my site is powered by WordPress.
The only converter that I could get my hands on is the phpbb converter. However I seem to be encountering errors whilst attempting to import phpbb database.
The converters do not seem to have been updated and are stated to be compatible with the earlier 0.73 release.
Where can I get (download) earlier releases on bbpress especially version 0.73. I intend to update to the current release as soon as I import all of my posts.
Thanks in advance.

I’m trying to make the forum tab highlighted while browsing my bbpress. I’m using is_home to highlight it on my blog frontpage, and for some reason it stays highlighted on START when in the forum. What can I use to get the forum tab highlighted? I’m guessing it’s an if-statement similar to is_home. Please help! Thank you
Testing it out here:

Will come in handy for the site as it grows. Thanks!
This falls under the same problem of accidentally demoting yourself below keymaster to admin (some people try it to remove the somewhat silly title from displaying)
two ways to fix it manually and get back keymaster status:
the technical way:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbsync/page/2?replies=67#post-8401
the easier way (but might reset other data, not certain)
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-site-keymasters?replies=6#post-909
probably needs a scrap of javascript in there to throw up an alert to what you are about to do (demote a keymaster) is a very bad idea
I guess I’ll try adding it to trac
I had forgotten about this site, they did an incredible job programming it. Facinating to compare:
http://www.forummatrix.org/compare/bbPress+miniBB+phpBB+SMF+vBulletin
(I picked those top five but you can choose from like 25 others)
But I can easily spot some missing things from the bbpress chart that have been added in the core or via plugin, so they need an update…
Yeah I’ve already hacked the core code to make it say “Track this topic in your forum favorites” to make it sound different than adding to your bookmarks which every site nags the visitors to do and so they ignore it.
Too much hacking needed to change the term “favorites” everywhere unfortunately and it was the first thing I sadly had to touch the core for. After hacking up wordpress so much that I cannot easily upgrade it, I swore not to do that on BBpress, especially since it’s so early in alpha/beta
It’s also going to be a problem eventually that a tracking level is not set for each “favorite”, so now they can only get every topic emailed, or none at all.
When in doubt, study vbulletin as a model I suggest…
