Yes, you are right; some people will not want to use this.
But i mean, this would be an option, like in WordPress.
As bbPress’ structure is very similar to WordPress; adding that option to bbPress won’t be so hard, i guess. 
Is shared logins the only benefit?
Can bbpress use any of the wordpress plugins?
What are some of the practical benefits of integrating a blog with a forum?
Can you make the comments from wordpress go directly to the forum? Not just appear in the forum but ONLY appear in the forum?
My wordpress blog is http://300.mpm.org.au, a community charity illustration blog but I’d like the community aspect of the commenting system to be part of our forums with all our other forum topics/projects at http://www.mpm.org.au.
Ideally I would like the root of our site (http://www.mpm.org.au) to use something relatively simple like Nulls BBportal to pull and display open forum topics from a couple of specific categories (in our forums case our ‘newsfront’ category and our company specific category) and then have our wordpress blog also linked into the forums from a subdomain.

This is a WP/BBP installation for my upcoming 10 year class reunion. I originally launched the site as static pages and a phpbb board. However, about a month ago I put WP behind it to manage updates, add payment collection capabilities, and rotating ads. After that I added a bbpress installation, which is integrated with WP. I used the phpbb import plugin, with some minor tweaks, to bring all of the posts and users over from phpbb. I’ve made minor changes here and there to the default template, and I am using most of the available plugins. So far my classmates haven’t had any trouble with anything, and it has been much easier to manage and moderate the boards, especially with MUCH less spam and bogus user registrations than on phpbb.
Cheers!
@fel64 – You don’t have to copy the styles into another style sheet, just edit the styles in the file page-links.css
@wittmania – I’ve updated the plugin to be compatible with “Front Page Topics”, it’s more a design problem with that plugin, but I’ve worked around it.
@Null – All that has to be done is copying the three files, one php, one css, one image into the my-plugins folder. If you want to change the styles then just edit them in the CSS file. I couldn’t have made it any easier given I wanted it to be easily styled for different layouts without having to modify templates.
Hmm take out the images and put the page numbers between (..), makes your plugin easier to install (no difficult stuff with images, extra uploading etc)… just my 2 cents
http://www.sourceskins.com/bbpress is my area 51 where i test my plugins (bbmenu, bbportal,bbwysiwyg)
My bbpress is exclusively for only authors who write on the attached WP Blog. Recently I found that on the home page of my bbpress, I can see latest posts in threads… which when I click on – go to the thread of the lastest post – scroll down – the latest post isn’t there. I check Akismet filter and the post is not there either.
I don’t use blocking or bozos for authors. Could someone advise what could be going wrong and how can I rectify them.
On a seperate note, how can I turn Akismet for bbPress off?
None of these tricks work for me. I’m using latest bbPress and fix plugin. Even with a clean install, my keymaster user will randomly become a bozo. I have a either a “1” or ny login name in the profiles bozo field (yes, it’s a field, not a checkbox). Akismet is not enabled.
Also, there is no “is_bozo” in my usemeta table at all, and sure enough it’s not listed in the admin bozo section.
Is there a fix for this? It’s a big mess.
the .htaccess file is:
Options +MultiViews
(That’s the entire file. I havebbpress sharing a database with wordpress.)
How to make is so, that it wont filter between the code tags? Cause we dont want smilies in code parts
Sam, I am on .8.1, but it is working fine now.
This plugin doesn’t play nicely with the Front Page Topics plugin. I had it set to show 25 posts per page on topics pages, so I would only have 2 or 3 pages, whereas your plugin would count 5 or 6. When I would click on a link to a page that was beyond the actual pagination, I would get a “This topic is closed” message. I went ahead and just deleted the Front Page Topics plugin and it is working fine now.
Would there be a way to change the number of posts per page in your plugin from the default 10, or better yet to look for the front page topics and count based on the options in that plugin? Just curious.
Thanks.
Hi, I’m having a bozo nightmare. I installed bbPress a few days ago, and I keep getting flagged as a Bozo.
1. I’m running latest bbPress, and this Fix bbPress plug-in.
2. I disabled Akismet per the other Bozo thread.
And yet:
In my keymaster profile page, I have a large text field with the contents of my admin name, and I’m stuck as a bozo. Changing “1” to “0” in PHPMyAdmin does nothing. Deleting my name from the bozo field does nothing.
I understand this is supposed to be a checkbox, but I have this:
<tr>
<th scope="row">This user is a bozo:</th>
<td><input name="is_bozo" id="is_bozo" type="text" size="30" maxlength="140" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
Cheers Sam, worked beautifully. I put your CSS in my style.css and played around with it until eventually getting rid of all extra styling 
But it works great. That was a major annoyance. Thanks. 
What version of bbPress are you using. I have to admit that I haven’t tested against 0.8.1, only against the latest 1.0 alpha
I think I know what went wrong though. Download and try again, I’ve updated the version to 1.0.1
The links are text-only. If you don’t want the images/styles just remove them from the CSS file.
So in the next version like:
<youtube>linktothevideo</youtube> ??
It’s not working for me…
On topics with a single page, I get this error:
Bad arguments. in blah blah blah/bbpress/
my-plugins/page-links.php on line 68
When I click on a page link, I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_tags() in
/blah blah blah/bbpress/
my-plugins/page-links.php on line 33
Any idea what’s wrong?
Also, I would recommend that you add an option for the links to be text-only instead of the CSS/image based ones. Thanks for putting this plugin out for all of us.
So that’s the other place I saw it. I’ve updated that ticket.
The is also a trac ticket for this
You inspired a quick plugin, that I then turned into a full plugin…

I have an old wordpress blog I would like to export into bbpress – is this possible?
I would settle for posts and comments but users would be good too.
Here’s one a few people have asked for. This plugin adds links to pages within each topic in all topic lists.

Hello,
I am a boob, obviously, and have messed something up terribly.
Or something is going wrong.
My bbpress forums have been fine for about 2 days, but I’ve been making little tweaks (changing appearance and adding plugins mostly).
Today I noticed that when you click forum titles, you get an error message. (Instead of /forum/4 leading to the forum in question, it is a 404). On the other hand, if you click a topic, you can read the topic (belonging to the same forum). If you then click the forum title above the topic post, you get the error message.
Forums aren’t loading.
I am not sure what caused this. I was doing stuff to the frontpage.php, but I tried reverting back to an earlier one and it did not fix the problem.
I checked the MySQL databases and it said they were fine, though I really don’t know what I am doing, obviously.
How do I fix this?
Any advice you have will be gratefully received.
