another question before installing the plugin (i plan to, honestly, i just have a few bugs with bbpress to work out before i go adding more plugins). is there yet the capability of having posts in specific categories go to specific forums?
You basically want to translate it. Not sure how it’s done but there are a few translation threads around here. (Some changes you can also make in the theme but by no means all of them.)
Hi. I’m looking to change the wording in some areas. Is there a central place to do this?
For example, I would like to change “View your profile” to “Profile” where can I do this?
bbpress registration did not indicate there was a set minumu for how many characters in username, might be a good idea if there was a note in the register form
i kept getting a username not valid and did not know why, how come with wordpress the username was ok but not on bbpress ?
I am hoping you put the bbPress installation instructions up there on your site as the WordPress/Invasion instructions don’t help here.

Beautiful.
svn co https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/support-forum/trunk/ my-plugins
worked like a charm. Thanks much!
Thanks, Jaithn. I’ve actually looked at bbPortal and was left puzzled as to what in the heck it’s supposed to do. As someone pointed out elsewhere, a brief description of its purpose and some screenshots could do wonders. But your message is a sign that I should look at it again.
Aha, more info about the post-to-subforum error. Details are in Trac at https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/674 but it appears that Kakumei may be scribbling on a global $forum_id variable deep in the bowels of bb-templates/kakumei/forum.php.
Fel64, when you couldn’t repeat the problem, were you using Kakumei?
I’m such a bbPress newb that I don’t know whether Kakumei falls outside the purview of bugs we should be reporting through Trac. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Actually, fel64, your suggestion of reverse-engineering the HTML skeleton of a bbPress page to make standalone pages that can use the same stylesheets makes perfect sense and is probably what I’ll end up doing.
Hi!
You can use WordPress Pages inside bbPress. I’m testing an integration between bb and wp and it works flawlessly. Look for some posts about including wp-config.php or wp-blog-header.php in your config.php.
Okay, I posted my issues to Trac. I’m a Trac newbie, so please be gentle if I broke conventions somehow. Feel free to correct or add to my descriptions:

Not repeatable for me. Topics made since .8.2 in my active forums on Linux / php 4.4.4 I think have been made by a direct call to bb_new_topic(), and under xampp topics made normally also do not have this problem.
Riddle: do please add these to trac if you haven’t already. Login is the same as here.
I’m a little confused. The word “portal” is such an overloaded term that I’m having trouble seeing what bbPortal *does*.
Does it simply add a distinct front page to a bbPress install? Can it be used to supplement bbPress with freestanding pages under separate tabs? Or something else entirely?
I’ve looked back at other bbPortal posts, gone to bbportal.org, etc. and still don’t quite get it. Thanks for any light you can shed.
It’s not off topic at all to talk about WordPress. I’m saying that the development of the two products is very much done in parallel, so if a decision is made about how tags should be inputed in WordPress (which is likely at this stage as tags are in development in WP), then that will likely affect the bbPress implementation. Perhaps you will get a better answer asking on the developers mailing list or by submitting a bug report on the Trac site.
The SVN address is https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/
You can also browse that address with a web browser and find specific plugins.
Latest versions of individual plugins are in:
https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/<plugin-name>/trunk/
for example:
https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/support-forum/trunk/
Is there a way to do standalone pages in bbPress, like the undated “pages” in WordPress?
I’m starting a new project which must consist of a discussion board plus a small set of freestanding pages. The forums and pages need to have the same look and appear as tabs in a coherent navigation structure. I don’t need the freestanding pages to be in a user-friendly CMS, although it would be nice. I’m trying to decide whether to use bbPress alone, bbPress+WordPress, or something completely different.
I was attracted to bbPress in the first place because I thought I could use WordPress’s undated “pages” feature to supplement the forums. But now I gather from other posts that bbPress+WordPress integration is far from straightforward.
So, is there any easy way to present freestanding pages which are uniform in style with bbPress? Or should I give up and go with the competition? (I’m also looking at Drupal, ugh.)
I have a question about the plugin fel64.
What will happen in bbPress if the post is paginated? Generally, every post on my site is 3 pages (for a reason), but I would only like the first page to be submitted to bbPress. Is this possible?
Anyone know how to install a plugin from https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/ through SVN? Can’t seem to find the URL to checkout from…
i think i figured it out. just make sure that in your config.php in bbpress, you dont have slashes at the end of $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_site_url
My bbpress folder is inside of my wp folder, but when I login to wp and then click on bbpress, i have to log in again. is there an easy fix?
should i do what this topic says?

Look at the Forum Restriction plugin post for info on how to fix the admin page and the keymaster problem.

The bozo field when editing a profile still is not a checkbox, but is otherwise fixed.
I just upgraded and “the bozo:1 thing” appears to be fixed.
RatherBeBiking: I’ve reponsed to your query in the bbPress forum “Plugin: Avatar Upload” topic.
