I’ve tried everything in the above thread, but I still get mw_ appended to the table (mw_bb_users).
2 Wittmania:
Demo: http://www.bbportal.org
2 Keith:
Yeah, I already thought about that too. Still thinking of how to make this happen. It is on my to do list…
2 Detrom and Maker:
I think this is a php5+ issue. I will take a look at it. It would help if you could install the private messages plugin and tell me if that plugin runs ok. You can get it here: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/20?replies=8
What makes you sure it’s not a bozo issue? Sounds exactly like one to me. If it is, the fix is here.
If you’ve got good reason to think it’s not a bozo issue, sorry. 😡
To make the fix work, thierry, you have to change the field to 0 and save with the plugin applied. It doesn’t automatically unmark them I think.
Sorry if this has been dealt with, but I’ve searched the forums for this and haven’t found anything. I’m pretty sure this is not a bozo issue.
Using bbPress 0.8.1 with WordPress 2.1
Just installed not long ago and am testing now…
I am able to add forums with no problem.
But, when I add a new post to a given forum, it appears to save (it does in fact, as I checked the db table). However, it doesn’t show up in the forum post counts on the front page, and unless I navigate back to the form where I added the post, I lose it completely.
I’ve tried subscribing to a new post that I just saved, and I get the message “Something strange happened, please try refreshing”. I do refresh, and the message goes away, but nothing else happens, and the post is still lost in limbo.
Any tags attached to the post do show up correctly –it’s just the post itself that is gone.
Thanks for any help!

Actually, I said something wrong. New posts I wrote are now considered as bozo. I feel that as soon as a user is considered as bozo, all his posts (and also pasts posts) should be marked as bozo, no ?
It seems that mdawaffe has lot to do on other projects. No correction after 1 mounth of bug submission, we feel abandonned.
I used this SQL query to mark all my bozoed posts (from the poster who have id=1, which is usualy the keymaster) to “normal” post :
UPDATE bb_posts
SET post_status=0
WHERE post_status=2 and poster_id=1
my posts after this “update” has not been bozoed. My profile page still shows a “1”.
When i was using author.php for my wordpress profile i used the following code to show the latest blog posts i had made
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”>
<?php the_title(); ?>
Posted @ <?php the_time(‘d M Y’); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e(‘Well well, it looks as if this user has no posts. Nevermind!’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
This doesn’t work in my bbpress profile, even though i have the 2 integrated. Any ideas of how i could get it to work?
@Sam – We talked about this documentation on the bbdevlist before and Matt wanted to lean towards the release of a major release of bbPress before any real start to avoid massive changes to the documentation, so here we sit *sigh*

Hi peoples.
I wish to install bbpress for the Hebrew language (which is right to left), for which I need a supporting style sheet (such as the style-rtl.css).
Unfortunately, style -rtl.css is broken (for IE):
http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/612
(for a month, and much longer then that)
I tried, yet wasn’t able to fix the css myself, and until the issue isn’t resolved, I can not install bbpress (which I very much wish to do).
I know that once bbpress will work for the Hebrew language, many of the Hebrew wordpress community would love to use it, so the request is for more users then me.
Please Please Please, can someone fix it ?
Ok sure. Though bare in mind this is probably a really crappy way of doing it, but hey, I don’t even know php, so give me some credit for trying hehe.
I deleted bb-avatar-upload.php from /my-plugins/ and put it in my wordpress plugins folder. Then at the top of the file I put:
include(‘/path/to/blog/forum/avatar_function.php’);
I created avatar_function.php myself and pasted in the contents of the bbpress config file. The reason I didn’t use the original file is because the follow was causing an error when logging in to the admin panel.
require_once(‘/path/to/blog/wp-blog-header.php’);
define(‘wp_bb’,true);
That’s basically it. I’ve checked about every page and everything is working fine, so i’ve no idea if there’s any potential problems doing this, but all I know is it works as far as i can tell.
I used this plugin and the row of smilies show beneath the edit form, but they are unclickable. An even when I just type in 
etc, they don’t appear in the post.
OK, I have the Bozo problem under control, but now, my bbPress sites are starting to get alot of users, and some of them are of course spammers looking to get their site link in the ‘interests’ and ‘homepage’ field. Any way we can make it so that when a user is marked as a Bozo to zero out those fields, automagically? I hate tha tthey get some free advertising.
What say you people?
@fel64: I’ve downloaded your mod and will take a look at how it works to see about branching my plugin. More thoughts later…
@smurfdude: That is an excellent idea. I’m not sure about how to integrate with WordPress, but I’m guessing it would require a WordPress plugin that pulls the data from the bbPress database.
It is tapping into the hook to change the bbPress fields, but not the appearance. That is defined somewhere in bbPress and not changed by the plugin. I think that someone else might have to help with that one I am afraid!
Trent
Sorry, wrong syntax, but it does work with:
https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/
http://onvertigo.com/rss/
fel64, you must think I am crazy today eh as I can’t seem to get anything straight the first time!! 
Trent
Unfortunately it does
Are you sure? I can do it because bbPress is using the WP users and I have both setting and using the same cookie. You seriously can’t get this to work? Hmm……
You have both integration plugins installed as well?
Trent
I have visited your site, Trent, and I do appreciate the effort, but some of the ones listed don’t work with my installation. The “four” themes that I mentioned in my first post that worked for me were all taken from your site!
I guess now I have a strong reason to develop another skill: “bbPress themes”
Thanks for your answers.
My blog is getting cluttered with tons of useless posts and I’d really like to clean it out, but since I work with multiple authors I don’t want to upset them. I figure a fair compromise is to convert the wordpress posts to threads.
The plugin would be a sort of ‘one step’ process where you run a script or hit a button in the admin panel and whichever wordpress post you select becomes a thread with:
1. the same title
2. roughly the same text (given bbpress’ html capabilities)
3. comments converted to replies
it doesn’t matter if you login at bbPress or WordPress when you are integrated.
Unfortunately it does, I reckon that the cause of a problem I’ve been having – when you register in WP, it only calls WP hooks, register in bb and only bb hooks are called. Short of duplicating plugins and changing the hooks/function names etc, I don’t think there’s anything you can do, and that’s obviously a real hassle.
Maybe a trac ticket is in order, to get some coordination between appropriate hooks?
I see you resolved this. Just for others, I found the login code for WordPress and put that in the sidebar as it doesn’t matter if you login at bbPress or WordPress when you are integrated.
Trent
Excellent Sam! I changed your title so that it is more clear on what you have come across! I hope you don’t mind!
Trent
If you use services like MyBlogLog or Gravatar, you can use that plugin for bbPress and WordPress has a couple of plugins that also bring in those avatars into your comments. Good question fel64! How did you do it?
Trent
It should work just having the main RSS feed like this sites:
https://bbpress.org/forums/feed/
Mine would be:
http://onvertigo.com/feed/
Thanks,
Trent
I know that Brad and I are trying to put the links to plugins, themes and hacks together over at Pro Forums. Just search the ‘templates’ link and that has a good portion of them.
Trent
For adding custom profile additions, I use Macwise’s Custom Profile Plugin. You have to edit the actual plugin code to get your profile additions you want, but the ‘extra’ ones in it are ‘number of kids’ and you will figure out how to add more and change that one. As well, if they are marked as ‘1’ they are required and ‘0’ means not required.
As for avatars, you can have your users add their own URL to their avatar using Ardentfrost’s Avatar Plugin but it doesn’t have an interface yet for uploading avatars, just putting in the URL. If most of your users use Gravatar or MyBlogLog, you can try the other Avatar Plugin as it just uses the avatar from those services. There is a new plugin that allows uploading of avatars as well available here
That should get you going!
Trent
